Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 645 - 259 Win-Win
Okay, of course, it's impossible to really throw it away.
Romand Willy was very clear that there was another option.
Handing over the material model, sharing the potential profits with others, letting those who are interested in this model do the testing—this was a not-so-bad choice. In this way, he wouldn't have to consider many issues, like whether or not to go to Capitol Hill asking for money.
If this material model was real, the initial investment wouldn't be a waste, and it could still continue to be used for networking.
If there was a problem, then he wouldn't have to bear the colossal loss.
It was just a gamble, self-reliant for profit or loss.
Compared to the value of the material model itself, the investment of two or three hundred million US dollars was nothing.
Moreover, Romand Willy knew the nature of those experts under him all too well.
Such things were always overpriced.
Of course, this wasn't a problem; officials in the United States did not discriminate between high and low positions, and everyone served for the sake of capital.
Under this premise, prioritizing the maximization of one's own interests was not reprehensible.
After all, he was no different.
If the material model was real, that would mean he had actively shared tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars in profits.
To be honest, he found this very hard to stomach.
Originally, all of that capital would have belonged to him.
"Okay, I get it. I have an idea, and actually, there's no need for so much hassle. To hell with those damn experts! Why should we buy a supercomputing center and a storage center? We could simply rent."
"Look, we could save a great deal of funds just like that. What we're worried about is the installation program possibly containing something destructive. But as long as we don't test it in this building, we might not even have to let those old men on Capitol Hill know about it."
"But what if it really causes damage?"
"Get someone to do it! That's not our problem to consider. I just need to get a final report as soon as possible! To confirm whether this thing is safe! As for how to avoid getting us involved if something goes wrong, I don't need to teach you that, do I?"
"Got it! Also, regarding the intelligence on the lithography machine, should we share it with our allies?"
"No rush, I'll report on that."
"Understood, Your Excellency."
...
After Romand Willy made his decision, everyone's life seemed to return to normal.
In Huaxia, Ben Ronny, still at the forefront at Xilin University of Technology, after going through the most panic-stricken period, found that no one came knocking on his door and thus returned to calm. But that was just the surface.
Anxiety originates from sycophants; real sycophants never end well!
Before leaving Huaxia, Ben Ronny truly did not want to interact too frequently with Chen Yiwen.
Even though he could harvest a lot of psychological satisfaction from Chen Yiwen's flattery, when compared to safety, he could still suppress his need for vanity.
However, Chen Yiwen clearly did not understand Ben Ronny's painstaking efforts.
Every now and then, he would ask how far along things were, if the goods had been sent back? When would the promises be fulfilled, getting him the American green card, allowing him to return to his spiritual homeland, wandering around the beautiful campus of Harvard.
Having a sycophant for oneself is indeed a happy matter.
But if this sycophant is disobedient, baring teeth at will, and likes to cause trouble at home without reason, that becomes a nuisance.
Ben Ronny was experiencing this annoyance.
Chen Yiwen seemed to have no clue what it meant to avoid suspicion; he even sent a poem on WeChat praising the United States, to express his loyalty!
Is this something a person would do?
If this continued, he really couldn't stand it, being anxious and scared every day.
But when he got in touch with higher-ups, they did nothing but comfort him, telling him to stay silent. They even suggested that he save all of Chen Yiwen's messages, which could later be used to threaten him, to make him do more things.
Well, what could he do?
As for Chen Yiwen, he was purely idle.

After completing the exhilarating task and temporarily not seeing the results, mundane life seemed too boring, and he needed to find some fun.
Mainly because his AI psychology research required subjects, but Dou Dou clearly didn't cooperate much with him.
As for Lv Bei, there were gains. He had figured out all the contacts Ben Ronny had made in Huaxia.
But since there was no news from Dou Dou, no one acted, just letting it go, as these things were common and not taken too seriously.
Speaking of Dou Dou, it really was a mix of love and hate.
Especially for Lv Bei.
The thing this little guy said to him most recently was, "Listen, just do your own stuff, and don't ask about things you shouldn't. Are you supposed to know these things?"
When said with a childish voice, it made one unable to get angry even if they tried.
The issue was that they had agreed to share intelligence, but it turned out to be a one-sided sharing.
They had shared all the intelligence with Dou Dou, but Dou Dou's plans—how far they had been implemented—weren't revealed to them at all.
It was supposed to be a win-win agreement.
But Lv Bei didn't have any options; an artificial intelligence wasn't reasonable, and it's not like he could go and argue the case with Qiao Ze.
Even dealing with Qiao Ze, Lv Bei wasn't clear whether Dou Dou was executing Qiao Ze's will or following its own set of logical reasoning.
But, in fact, it wasn't that important anymore.
Given his current status, there were plenty of ways Dou Dou could take advantage of him.
Especially now, with four Dou Dous in the yard, arguing became a cacophony with four voices, with an intensity instantly quadrupled. To put it in perspective, sending Dou Dou to participate in a debate contest would not require any human assistance anymore.
