On the other side-
San Francisco, Life Foundation Laboratory-
The 36th Life Interaction Experiment begins.
Dr. Dora introduced to Drake, "The biological interaction between two different organisms. These organisms need to combine with a host that can breathe oxygen. Once successful, they can survive for a long time in Earth's oxygen-rich environment."
Drake looked at the experiment in front of him and raised his question, "Then why does the host still experience super rejection reactions?"
"We're still investigating the specific reasons."
At this moment, with the prompting of the instrument, the symbiote began to enter the rabbit's body.
"The bonding process has begun."
The instruments displayed that the balance had been achieved.
Dr. Dora smiled, "The reaction is stable."
Both of them looked at the rabbit in the sealed laboratory. The rabbit showed no signs of abnormality and began to survive normally.
Seeing this situation, Drake smiled and asked excitedly, "But why? Why does it work for the rabbit when all previous experiments failed?"
Dr. Dora explained on the side, "This kind of bonding is somewhat like organ transplantation."
"You mean the donor and the recipient must be compatible?"
Dr. Dora nodded, "Exactly."
"Very well, we can think of it this way. If the biological bonding is successful, they can live in this world, and we can also live in their world."
Upon hearing Drake's words, Dr. Dora initially nodded in agreement, but then asked in surprise, "Did you say 'we'?"
"Yes, 'we'!"
"Since they can live on that planet, then after the successful bonding, that planet can also become our new habitat. We can also live on their planet, which is a place without industrial pollution and has abundant resources."
"Even if there are not many places we can exploit, we can still use it as sustenance to find a new habitat."
Upon hearing Drake's response, Dr. Dora suddenly understood.
Drake didn't say much at this point, but directly ordered, "Let's begin human trials."
Dr. Dora objected, "It's too early to consider human trials at this stage, and the company is currently facing lawsuits due to human experiments. Wouldn't it be inappropriate at this time?"
Drake looked at Dr. Dora and said seriously, "Dr. Skirth, this is a major scientific breakthrough. I hope you can be a little more courageous, okay?"
"As for the lawsuits you mentioned, I will resolve them as soon as possible."
"And we've already planned to build a second life ship."
Upon hearing Drake's words, Dr. Dora nodded, "I understand, but this is an ethical issue..."
Drake interrupted directly, "Think about the next generation!"
"The Earth's environment is already overwhelmed. Think about your children. Are they really okay living in this environment?"
Upon hearing Drake's words, Dr. Dora didn't argue anymore. She joined the Life Foundation to help future generations find new habitats and new living environments.
"Let's begin human trials!"
After leaving these words, Drake turned and left the laboratory.
…
On the other side-
Carlton Drake arrived at his office and picked up his phone to call his chief secretary.
"It's been a month, a whole month. You still haven't settled those suing people. What on earth are you doing?"
"Boss, I've traced the people behind it and have arranged a meeting with them. You might need to step in then."
"Alright, I got it."
Carlton Drake hung up the phone, looked at the night scene outside the window, and wondered where to raise funds for the construction of the second spaceship.
Originally, the Life Foundation didn't lack money to build the second Life Ship. However, in the past month, a large amount of money had been invested to maintain the stock price, which had already dropped by thirteen percent.
They wouldn't have been in such a tight spot if it hadn't been for the need to maintain the stock price.
…
The next day-
Ginny led a team, including lawyers, financiers, and werewolf members, to the headquarters of the Life Foundation in San Francisco.
This time, Ginny didn't use her identity as a Stark Industries shareholder, but instead used the identity of the chairperson of the Sudis Industrial Company, a vampire family enterprise she had acquired in London.
Now, Ginny sat in the conference room, facing Carlton Drake and his men.
"Chairperson Ginny, your company is also related to medicine. It's involved in synthetic blood and even cloning blood. I suppose you understand the indispensable need for human trials in the process of new drug development. I wonder what kind of price it takes to withdraw the lawsuits against these medical experiments."
Ginny didn't respond to this statement but looked at Drake and said, "I heard that your company is planning to build the second Life Ship, but the funds are insufficient."
Upon hearing Ginny's words, Drake suddenly understood. This British company wanted a piece of the pie.
"We, the Life Foundation, do plan to build the Life Ship 2, but there's no shortage of funds."
Ginny's voice turned cold, "Mr. Drake, if that's the case, it seems there's no point in discussing further. It looks like your funds are quite sufficient."
"I wonder if they will be enough to persist until your ship is ready for its second launch."
Drake's face changed slightly as he looked at Ginny and asked, "Are you suppressing the stock price of my Life Foundation?"
"What exactly do you want?"
Ginny directly threw the list of thirty patients who died after the drug trials on the table and said to Drake, "I wonder how much of your stock price will be left after we win this lawsuit."
Drake looked at the lawsuit list Ginny brought out, his face becoming even uglier, but he still asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"
Ginny smiled, "We want to make money."
"We happen to be interested in your company's plans. Since you're preparing to build a second spaceship so quickly after the first one crashed, I wonder if you've made any discoveries?"
Drake expressed regret at this moment, "Unfortunately, there were no significant discoveries this time."
"So, it's even more necessary to send out the second ship for exploration. Exploring new habitats cannot be abandoned just because of one failure."
"This project is a long-term endeavor, which may require exploration two, three, or even more times before discovering a new habitat suitable for human survival."
"I wonder, Ms. Ginny, how much you're willing to invest in this project? Or what kind of cooperation you're willing to consider."
