I Really Didn't Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 411: Chapter 280: The Same Failure !

The other party referred to him as a music producer, which had nothing to do with academia, and this was the second instance of their blatant gibberish.

Although the influence of “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection” was still brewing, and without experimental proof, it didn’t count for much, but everyone present should be smart enough to know the weight of this monograph.

Ignoring this identity of his, it was clear that it meant their specialties did not align, and they did not value his presence.

Harrison Clark didn’t dawdle. After they were done talking, he immediately spoke up loudly, “Ladies and gentlemen, my purpose today is simple, and it’s for my research assistant, Dr. Ryan Lai. I won’t say anything like making things convenient for everyone. I’ll do what needs to be done, I’ll pay whatever it takes to buy out the last two months of Rainer’s contract.”

“He will sign the confidentiality agreements he needs to sign. I’m poaching him to work on my project; I have no interest in spying on your stuff, and I don’t need it. I hope you all won’t set any obstacles for me and don’t come up with any odd things outside of the contract. Your country prides itself on the spirit of the contract, so I hope you all abide by it.”

“This is a breach of contract by Rainer, so I’m paying for it, and I’m abiding by the spirit of the contract. If you really refuse, I’ll just wait for two months before offering him legal status. Don’t stand in the way of him and me.”

Everyone was slightly taken aback.

Speaking so directly was their own style; Chinese people usually did not speak like this. They always liked to beat around the bush before suddenly revealing their intentions.

Yet Harrison Clark was so straightforward that it was quite a unique feeling.

Raulsen turned to look at Dr. Ethan Evans beside him.

From an administrative level, Rainer’s previous project team was directly under Dr. Ethan Evans’ supervision, so it was his turn to speak.

Dr. Ethan Evans pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, “Mr. Clark, there is an unwritten rule in our AAAS. Academics should do what is most beneficial to humanity.”

Harrison Clark raised an eyebrow, “How so?”

Dr. Ethan Evans: “From the contract perspective, we cannot refuse Rainer’s choice to leave. However, considering his personal development and the contributions he can make to humanity, we hope he can stay at Linton Research Institute. We are well aware of the academic atmosphere in the UK. There’s an old saying in China: one should know oneself. Another old saying: casting pearls before swine.”

After Ethan finished, most of the others echoed similar sentiments.

In summary, only by staying in Boston could Rainer produce more useful results, make full use of his intelligence and talent, and even have a chance to become a scientific leader like Enrico Fermi.

If he were to go to the UK, he would most likely not achieve Nobel Prize-level results and would only sink into the muddy pit of academic deceit, lies, fraud, and seniority.

Most of these people had read “The Madman’s Conjectures Collection” and had vaguely heard that the newly established Summit Research Institute would challenge the incredibly advanced project of room-temperature superconductivity. They were aware of Harrison Clark’s capabilities, but their innate national standpoint made these academic elites say things that could be against their hearts or perhaps were heartfelt.

Harrison Clark silently watched these people at the very top of the academic pyramid talk all kinds of nonsense.

When scholars become shameless, they truly amaze with their endless tricks.

This was basically discrimination, bravely spoken.

The world is never black and white.

The same goes for everywhere.

No country can achieve absolute perfection or fairness.

Goodness and integrity have always been a floating, relative balance.

What they described did exist in Harrison Clark’s homeland, but it did not represent the whole picture.

On the other side, it was not the utopia they proclaimed.

Living in the 21st century, this was Harrison Clark’s first time standing on such a high platform and experiencing this nauseating feeling.

How sorrowful.

The ugly side of humanity seemed to be hidden deep, but once exposed, it was nothing but rotten and repulsive.

Yet, he wasn’t too surprised.

In the previous timelines, either all of humanity had their minds washed by “Song of the Wilderness,” or they had experienced the trials of blood and fire brought about by the S Bacteria, or they had been oppressed by radium and faced the imminent crisis of extinction. Only then could humanity truly unite against these challenges.

If it were not for the two ultimate tests of civilization later on, the fear brought about by the Solar System Barrier crisis alone would likely not be enough to completely erase this nauseating ideology.

Harrison Clark closed his eyes and contemplated for a moment.

He felt that his past self was indeed still himself.

Old habits die hard, indeed.

Even though he was mentally prepared, it seemed that he had to go through the same failure again.

He was ready to let loose, even more viciously and earlier than before.

“Beneficial to humanity? Seriously?” Harrison Clark sneered coldly.

Everyone could see the anger boiling inside him, but Raulsen remained calm and nodded, “Yes.”

“Do you think I’m stupid?”

Harrison Clark tapped lightly on the table, “If what you’re saying is true, you wouldn’t be playing these hypocritical games with me. Know thyself? From your words, Dr. Ethan Evans, all I hear is discrimination.”

Dr. Ethan Evans: “Mr. Clark, you’re being too sensitive. I’m just considering the issue from a scientific perspective.”

Harrison Clark stared at him emotionlessly, “Science? How? Working here is beneficial to humanity, but working with me becomes harmful? Who gives you the courage to say that?”
