Chapter 111: Funds are Sufficient
Watching Norman take away all the instruments and even the volunteers, Dr. Otto sat down beside the table, holding his chest.
Peter Parker also hurried forward, supporting Dr. Otto and comforting him: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, they didn't take everything away, maybe we can start over..."
"No, Peter." Dr. Otto raised his tired eyes, "There is no 'we' anymore. Without the city government's funds, I can't pay you a salary."
After saying this, Dr. Otto lowered his head dejectedly, like an old man.
Peter Parker also fell silent. He wanted to comfort Dr. Otto, but what Dr. Otto said was true. Without research funds, they had no way to start over.
"I need some time to think..." Dr. Otto said with his head down, and then he looked at Peter Parker: "If I were you, I would choose to find another job."
"I……"
"Would you like to come work for me?"
Just as Peter Parker was hesitating and preparing to say something, a young voice came from the door.
Hearing this, the two decadent men turned their heads and saw an Asian young man in his twenties who walked in with a gentle smile.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Peter Parker walked over quickly and looked at the young man who suddenly came in and asked.
"As for me..."
Xia Yu walked up to Dr. Otto and looked at the middle-aged bald man. He said easily, "I just want you to join my company. Of course, I won't steal your research results."
Hearing this, Dr. Otto frowned. He was about to say something, but Xia Yu made a gesture to keep quiet.
Then he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, motioned to the two of them, and plugged it into the computer port in the laboratory.
As Xia Yu clicked, the information in the USB flash drive was revealed. It was about the technology of bionic limbs. Dr. Otto and Peter Parker's eyes narrowed when they saw this information.
As they browsed through the information, the two of them exclaimed in amazement from time to time. The research on bionic limbs here was much more in-depth than what they had learned.
And some technologies are clearly more advanced, including artificial skin, smart chips, and more.
However, there is no research data on human neural connections, and these bionic limbs seem more like they are intended to create bionic robots rather than bionic limbs.
"It's really amazing." Otto took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows. "These research materials are at least several decades ahead of this era."
In fact, it is thousands of years older, but in order not to appear so shocking, it was specially modified like this.
Listening to Dr. Otto's comments, Xia Yu silently complained in his heart.
He asked the super tool AI Xia Yu to compile the information about these bionic limbs, and the specific source was the manufacturing information of the androids in the world of NieR: Automata.
Ever since he was kicked out of Kamar-Taj by the old man Ancient One, he thought about it and decided to start a company first. Anyway, Ancient One didn't tell him clearly how he should gain experience in the secular world.
Therefore, he decided to proceed at his own pace. Returning to China was a choice he had no choice. Now that he had the power, he could naturally do whatever he wanted.
Xia·Zuzongren·Yu: I can do whatever the hell I want!
"How about it, Doctor? Do you want to join my company? Don't worry, the salary I offer you will never be lower than the aid funds given to you by the government."
Hearing this, Peter Parker was a little tempted, but the final decision would still be made by Dr. Otto, so he did not speak first.
"Um……"
To be honest, Dr. Otto was a little tempted. Not only did the other party take out such precious bionic limb information, but he also gave him such a solemn promise.
But... he also had his own difficulties. However, he did not reject the other party directly, but spoke hesitantly.
"Excuse me, can you let me think about it for a while?"
"Well...is it because of your illness, Doctor?" Xia Yu said.
"What?!"
But before Otto could speak, Peter Parker shouted in surprise, and he looked at Dr. Otto's face with some disbelief.
"Doctor, are you sick? What's wrong with you?"
Dr. Otto, who originally wanted to hide it, just smiled bitterly and nodded when he heard Peter Parker's surprised cry.
"I didn't expect it to be diagnosed. The doctor said it was a 'degenerative neurological disorder', probably caused by prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals."
"The worst part is that this symptom only affects the muscles. The mind can still function, but it cannot control the body's movements."
Listening to Dr. Otto's explanation, Peter Parker gradually understood why the doctor chose to research bionic limbs. This was not only to save other disabled people who lacked limbs, but also to save himself.
"I'm so sorry, is there anything I can do to help?"
Dr. Otto gave a forced smile and waved at Peter Parker: "You're already helping."
"Aren't you two a little disrespectful?" Seeing that a sad atmosphere seemed to be emerging, Xia Yu suddenly interrupted the topic.
Being interrupted like this, both of them looked at Xia Yu, and Peter Parker said awkwardly: "Sorry, I just..."
"Stop." Xia Yu suddenly made a pause gesture, then walked behind Dr. Otto. Before the two could react, he suddenly took out a syringe from his waist.
"It's an advance on my salary."
After saying that, Xia Yu suddenly stabbed the syringe into Dr. Otto's neck, and then the medicine in the syringe was quickly injected into Dr. Otto's body.
"etc……"
Peter Parker had just opened his mouth when Xia Yu pulled out the syringe.
Dr. Otto also belatedly covered the place where he had just been injected, but soon a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Under Peter Parker's nervous gaze, Dr. Otto suddenly stood up, jumped on the spot, and then clenched his fists in surprise, and did a backflip. This was totally unlike something a fat middle-aged man could do, not to mention that this middle-aged man was suffering from a disease.
"Doctor, you..."
Peter Parker looked at the scene in disbelief. Dr. Otto's breathing also became heavier, not because of tiredness, but because of excitement.
It had been a long time since he had felt so full of energy. His stiff muscles seemed to come alive and even become stronger.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a difficult move as a backflip on the spot.
Dr. Otto's face flushed with excitement. He grabbed Xia Yu's hand and shook it up and down, and kept thanking him: "Thank you! Thank you! May I ask what medicine you just gave me? With it, we can save more people!"
Xia Yu also smiled and said, "As long as you join my company, I will tell you, how about it?"
"I'll join!" Otto said impatiently.
Peter Parker on the side also smiled happily. The other party was not only willing to fund them, but also cured Dr. Otto. He was also very willing to join the other party's company.
"Excuse me, what is the name of our company?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled shyly and said, "There is no company yet, the name has not been decided, there are no employees, but the funds are sufficient."
