C37 Request Rejected

Over the next period of time, Dr. Weir De put aside the other things he was doing and devoted himself to cultivating the Carbon-based Gene's food. Dr. Weir De wrote an application specifically for this purpose. The application clearly stated the importance of pure carbon food to Yun Zhaoning and requested that he send a few scientists to study it together. There was also a series of instruments and a large area of controllable smart greenhouses. In other words, Dr. Weir De's application was comparable to a major project.

With such a large amount of resources and project applications, if it was to benefit a group, then the upper management would not hesitate to approve it. But if it was only for one person, then he needed to consider it carefully. This was because it was clear that the inputs and outputs did not match at all!

Although the only pure carbon life form was very precious, it was at most the canary in the cage. Aside from verifying the truth about the universe, it didn't have much value to the universe. They could let Yun Zhaoning live on in peace until he died of old age. However, this was just a matter of living in peace. There was still a gap between living in peace and living in comfort. Needless to say, it was not worth it to invest so much resources into it.

The fragility of the carbon-based genes, as they had already learned in the report submitted by Dr. Weir De, was not only unable to withstand the radiation in the air, but even a slight collision could result in death. It was difficult for such a race with no future to survive independently in the interstellar world.

For someone who could only be admired by the flowers in the greenhouse, spending a lot of resources to provide for them was a waste!

Naturally, Dr. Weir De's application had not been approved. Dr. Weir De was silent as he learned the results of the application. Even Ailee frowned. She had to admit that this result was very hard to accept! Neither Dr. Weir De nor Ailee had any reason to contradict this result. Because Yun Zhaoning's physical fragility was an indisputable fact.

Dr. Weir De gripped his hands tightly and sat down on a chair with a serious look in his eyes. He didn't say a word.

The next day, Dr. Weir De went to see Zongtian Kaishan, the dean of the institute.

Zongtian Kaishan knew the man's purpose the moment he saw Dr. Weir De. He was also very regretful, but there was nothing he could do. This was because such a major application had to be approved by more than two-thirds of the auditors. Weir De's previous application was rejected by all votes, not even one of them was passed, let alone more than two-thirds of the people present!

"Doctor, I'm sorry!" Zongtian Qishan sighed.

"Principal, I raised Zhaoning, and he is my child! His body was so fragile that even the silicon-based gene juice couldn't digest it. He's only a little over ten years old right now, so don't tell me that he has to spend his entire life eating Nutritional Supplements s that are specially made for him, and can't even have a single bite of food! " Dr. Weir De was clearly indignant.

"I understand how you feel, but the Empire's upper echelons' decision is not just a matter of a youngster not being able to eat food!" Zongtian Qishan's voice turned serious as he solemnly looked at Dr. Weir De.

Weir De slightly frowned, took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination, "President, I request for a second vote!"

Zongtian Kaishan frowned, his tone becoming more serious. "Are you sure, Doctor?" No one had passed the previous vote, so what was the point in holding a second vote! Furthermore, the second vote was proof of the applicant's unwillingness to accept the result of the first vote. It could be said that he was standing against many important figures and was questioning their decision without mercy. And if the applicant does not have sufficient reason to vote in a second vote, the applicant will become a joke in the industry, which is very damaging to the reputation of a scientist! In the Thunder Empire, there had not been a second vote in nearly a thousand years. Zongtian Kaishan's tone was solemn only because Dr. Weir De was now using his reputation and future as collateral!

"I'm sure! "Dean!" Dr. Weir De gave a definite answer! He did not agree with the reply given by the vote! Humans with pure carbon-based life forms could create so many cultures on Earth that even the interstellar community couldn't help but marvel at. How could such a race have no future!
