Chapter 654 - 654: Energy Research Institute (2)
Feng Qi was not surprised by this.
The Energy Research Institute was responsible for not only the output of pure energy but also the research of new materials.
For example, new spiritual material or new spiritual stones that did not exist in the existing database were produced in the domain fields.
They would be sent to the Energy Research Institute for “analytical research.”
In the end, many items would be rated.
For example, the toughness of the spiritual mine, the content and quality of the Spiritual Qi, and other data were recorded in the Star City database and shared with the databases of the five major cities.
Research into new materials was fraught with risks.
For instance, certain spirit ores emitted potent radiation with high penetration power. Ordinary protective suits offered no defense against such radiation damage. Proximity to these ores could harm the human immune system and lead to a chronic radiation disease akin to leukemia.
If a researcher were to approach a spirit mine with intense radiation their body would swiftly deteriorate, leading to a loss of life within a short period.
In addition to radiation damage from certain spirit mines, there were also risks in the study of new spiritual plants.
Not only were there many cases of being killed by spiritual plants but there were also many cases.
For example, back then, three blood-colored plants were sent to the Energy Research Institute. When the attributes of the spiritual plants were analyzed the blood-colored plants grew quickly and devoured two employees alive.
By the time the security guards arrived and dissected the blood-colored plant the staff member who had been swallowed had long been corroded. Not even ’ bones were left.
Pioneers of exploration frequently face numerous dilemmas, yet valuable lessons are often gleaned from these hard-fought experiences.
The special laboratory suit of the Energy Research Institute had been improved many times.
The purpose was to prevent all kinds of dangers during the research of new materials.
When he arrived at the director’s office on the third floor, the staff member left. Feng Qi took two steps forward and knocked on the door.
“Come in.” A gentle female voice sounded from behind the door.
Without hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked in.
What appeared in front of him was a simple office. The furnishings were very simple, and the decorations were mainly in warm colors. A young woman in an Energy Research Institute uniform was sitting at her desk, looking straight at the screen. She was busy.
Her appearance was charming and graceful. The earnest gaze she directed at the screen held an indescribable allure, stirring the soul.
Feng Qi was surprised to find that the current director of the Energy Research Institute was a young woman.
At this moment, the woman turned to look at him with a charming smile on her face.
“You’re Feng Qi, right? I’m the current director of the Energy Research Institute, Yin Ling. Have a seat.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately went to her desk and sat down.
The woman lowered her head and began to rummage through the documents on the desk. At the same time, she said.
“Elder Qi has briefed me on the situation, and we’ve already outlined a blueprint for the new energy line structure. However, we still need to follow the formal process. After all, this document must undergo review by the Star City Supreme Council.”
As she spoke, the woman suddenly looked at him.
“What I’m a little curious about is how you obtained the highest authority in the Tiger Soul Research Institute at such a young age… Of course, if this is confidential information, pretend I didn’t ask.”
Faced with the question, Feng Qi smiled and nodded.
“Our Tiger Soul Research Institute values personal ability and not age. Besides, you’re also very young, but you’re already the director of the Energy Research ‘ Institute.”
“That’s true. Ability is the most important.” The woman smiled.
As if she had found the document that needed to be signed, the woman pulled it out of the pile of documents. Then, she stood up and handed the document to Feng Qi. She pointed at the end of the document and said.
“Sign here will do.”
When Feng Qi heard this, he immediately nodded and reached out to take the fountain pen from the woman. He signed his name on the document signature column.
After handing the document back, he asked curiously.
“Director Yin, that should be all, right?”
“Yes, I’ll arrange the structure of the energy line. If there’s anything else, I’ll communicate with Director Qi of your Tiger Soul Research Institute.”
In that case, I’ll take my leave first.”
After confirming that there was nothing else for him to do, Feng Qi immediately stood up.
At this moment, Yin Ling smiled and nodded.
After leaving the office, Feng Qi walked straight out of the Energy Research Institute’s headquarters building.
However, he was still a little curious. How did Yin Ling become the director of the Energy Research Institute at such a young age?
As for the others, such as the Tiger Soul Research Institute and the Scarlet
Research Institute, almost all of them were old people.
It was not that the structure was pedantic.
These elders had worked hard since they were staff members. They had accumulated a lot of experience as they grew up. Apart from their outstanding work ability, their experience was also an important part of becoming the director of a research institute.
He was just being polite when he told Yin Ling that she was good at her job.
Ability, experience, personality, and various other factors were the key factors
to becoming the leader of the research institute.
The ability to work was not the only determinant.
For example, in the Scarlet Research Institute, no one was more capable than Wei Wei.
Nevertheless, the directorship of the Scarlet Research Institute changed hands several times throughout its history. Even Wei Wei’s disciple had assumed the position of director, while Wei Wei retained her role as supervisor.
Therefore, personal ability was only one of the reference factors for a higher position.
However, Feng Qi did not think too much about it.
Having completed his task, he decided to return to the Tiger Soul Research Institute and continue his high-intensity training, preparing to face the difficult challenges in the future..
