Chapter 1678: The Second Special Talent Defense Meeting!
"Hiss—Hoo—"
In front of the five-meter-wide metal door, Menggele Gulande took deep breaths, adjusting his nervous mood.
Usually dressed in a non-mainstream style, he had, for once, followed Major Montana's example and put on a dark green suit.
Because he was about to face the most important interview of his life.
The Special Talent Defense of the World Government Biochemical Research Institute!
Ever since they were captured by Colonel King Bradley, who had gritted his teeth that day.
First, they were sent to Liverpool, the location of the Fourth Heavy Combined Brigade Headquarters.
There, they met Captain Bellwood.
However, for some reason, there was no news of Schrödinger at all.
Then, the three of them were sent to Belfast on Ireland Island, where the Leo Star Group Army Headquarters was located.
Finally, they arrived at the Canberra Continent in the Giant World through that incredibly shocking huge Star Gate.
But he always felt it was more like arriving in a Parallel World's Australia.
This statement was both right and wrong.
Strictly speaking, the geographical plates of this Giant World should be a mirrored and inverted parallel world.
Here, people gradually approached them to explain the subsequent arrangements.
Major Montana would certainly still insist on joining the Star Realm Army.
However, his initial rank might not necessarily be Major anymore.
Captain Bell would most likely join the Greedy Wolf Star Unit.
At the same time, he hoped the World Government could quickly manufacture more pure-blood werewolves based on his genes and give him some time to wander, relax, and familiarize himself with the Sea Star.
To be honest.
Bell was actually already somewhat weary of slaughter, but he also clearly understood that this was precisely where his value lay.
[Swish————]
At this moment, the metal door opened to both sides under electric power.
Menggele Gulande immediately stepped inside and walked to the center where tables and chairs were arranged.
Once he was seated.
The surrounding environment and lighting immediately changed.
"This is..."
Menggele Gulande was instantly moved. This reminded him of Solin's Illusion Ability.
At the same time.
The originally empty room had transformed into the defense room inside the Biochemical Research Institute.
The lighting was still the somewhat eerie and oppressive green, full of a biochemical style.
But Menggele Gulande's attention was drawn to the five figures sitting opposite him.
When his line of sight first fell upon the old man sitting in the middle, he was surprised to find an introduction box appearing out of thin air in front of him.
[Name: Fritz Antonio, World of Origin: Sea Star, Academic Rank: Academician, Position: Dean of the Biochemical Research Institute]
Next, he looked at the young man sitting on the old man's left hand side, who appeared to be Eastern.
Indeed, the previous introduction box disappeared, and a new one appeared.
[Name: Muzan Kibutsuji, World of Origin: Demon Slayer World, Academic Rank: Doctor, Position: Minister of the Perfect Cell Enhancement Serum Development Department, Instructor of the Military and Political Department Life Return Course.]
Then, to the right hand side of Director Fritz.
[Name: Orochimaru, World of Origin: Ninja World, Academic Rank: Senior Researcher.]
Finally, sitting at the far ends were Dr. Shouei from the Kabaneri World and Intermediate Researcher Dae from the Claymore World.
They seemed to be giving Menggele Gulande time to take it in and did not speak immediately.
After about five minutes, Director Fritz said with a chuckle, "I think we can begin the defense now, right?"
"Of course, but could you tell me what I should do next?" Menggele Gulande asked.
Although the Rules of Doctoral Defense had a long history, and although Heidelberg University, where he graduated, was the oldest university in Germany.
He had attended during the 'Third Reich' period.
At that time, a large number of professors and students were expelled for various reasons.
The quality of education and academic freedom were severely impacted.
This resulted in the Process of Doctoral Defense being directly omitted.
"Heh heh, in the next hour, you need to elaborate on your research process so far and the key theoretical points."
"For example, the 'Artificial Vampire Technology', 'Vampire Control Chip Technology', and 'Thiopental Sodium Truth Serum Technology' mentioned in these data are the parts we are most interested in."
Menggele Gulande nodded, indicating he understood.
For someone with real substance, this indeed posed no difficulty.
But he still raised his hand and said, "My research results are not limited to these. There are also 'Cyborg Technology', 'Obsidian Composite Material Glass Technology', and 'Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Liquid Fuel Technology'."
This meant that in addition to biochemical, ability, and chip technology, his research scope also included multiple fields such as machinery, materials, and energy.
Muzan Kibutsuji smiled slightly, "What you mentioned are the parts the Academy of Science is interested in. You should receive an invitation to defend from them later."
"I see..."
Menggele Gulande fell into thought.
The Academy of Science seemed to be the superior department of this Biochemical Research Institute, so working there should be a better choice.
At this moment, Orochimaru, who was sitting with his legs crossed, extended his tongue to lick his thin lips and spoke.
"I think you should consider what your favorite research domain is. As for the level of the department..."
He did not continue, letting Director Fritz take over.
"We have already applied to the Proclamation Government Institute to be promoted from a 'Ministerial Level Unit' to an 'Institute Level Unit'. I believe it won't be long before the Biochemical Research Institute can be renamed the 'Biochemical Institute'."
Menggele Gulande understood that they were in the stage of striving for promotion.
At the same time, he felt excitement and expectation for this competition among these researchers.
As expected, this World Government had many geniuses like himself.
However...
Thinking of something, Menggele Gulande immediately hesitated.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and spoke the truth.
"I am very sorry, but the Artificial Vampire Technology that you all value is actually my most inferior research result!"
"Because its core is the genes extracted from Mina Harker's bones, I have no control over the surgery result and what ability will be produced after the surgery!"
Orochimaru, Muzan Kibutsuji, Dr. Shouei, Dae, and the others exchanged glances.
This matter was indeed not mentioned in the data.
Fritz asked, "Then please tell us what 'Mina Harker's Bones' are?"
"Mina Harker was Alucard's lover, whom he turned into a vampire through the Embrace over a hundred years ago. Although she was later turned back into a human by the first Van Helsing, a part of Alucard's strength still remained inside her body. We excavated her remains after the first Van Helsing's death..."
Menggele Gulande explained the full story in one breath.
However, this also caused disappointment to appear in the eyes of Muzan Kibutsuji, Orochimaru, and the others.
Because once the 'Artificial Vampire Technology' was removed.
Menggele Gulande's biochemical attribute was not that strong.
He was instead more suitable to go to the Academy of Science.
They couldn't possibly recruit him just based on a 'Truth Serum Technology', could they?
At most, that would earn him an Entry Grade Researcher position.
But this was not worth holding a Special Talent Defense specifically for.
"Heh heh heh, it sounds quite similar to my own experience."
Dae, however, still maintained a friendly attitude.
Because his previous main scientific research results relied either on living 'Dragon Descendant' or on the arm given by Priscilla.
It could be said that without the support of these two, it would be difficult to demonstrate his 'Black Technology' level.
"I'll be leaving now, wasting time."
Muzan Kibutsuji coldly glanced at Menggele Gulande before transforming into a ball of Azure Flame and disappearing.
