How am I still alive?

Chapter 1920 Research and Development Organization

".These lives are interesting, and completely different from what was expected."

As the main god of the life system, the number of research departments under Lu Ping'an has increased from one to thirteen. This is the result of his repeated requests for streamlining and merging departments with overlapping research directions as much as possible.

Within each individual research department, there are often dozens of research sections and research groups. They have relatively free action, and there are so many research projects that only a very small number of them can be completed safely.

Is it expensive to have such a large research team? This requires us to mention the operation mechanism of the research subjects within the courtyard.

"I have received at least seven completely different research reports, with different contents and research focuses. Four of them mentioned that they are very important to our development, and three mentioned that they could lead to the destruction of the world if we are not careful. Please use some new words to defraud funds. I hope your report will be a little bit innovative."

"Oh my god, they acted so fast that they started to cheat on the report before the first batch of inspection reports came out. Ahem, I mean, their research results are of certain reference value, but when it comes to the materials science report you want, our alchemy major is the professional one."

Miss Lu, whose physical changes were not that big, patted her chest which showed no changes at all. While making some troubles for her colleagues, she tried hard to convince the "investor" who had been taken advantage of.

Life Department. Most high-level professionals and researchers in the logistics department tend not only to stick together, but also to devote themselves to a certain god.

Just like the various pharmaceutical and forestry companies under Ms. Lin that Lu Ping'an encountered at the beginning, there might be some law-based or even rule-based life professionals behind them.

Reality is not a story. When technology develops to a certain level, the chance of coming up with research results just because of a "flash of inspiration" becomes lower and lower. Often, the birth of a successful product requires a long and continuous investment of resources.

Some resources are beyond the reach of a lone traveler, not to mention the far-flung ones, such as the "alien silicon-based crystalline life forms" now on display in various research departments.

Some things are impossible to bring back to Earth, and their quality would be greatly reduced if they were brought back. Often only the first-hand information can provide the most complete materials.

The times are advancing, and only by following the top departments can you obtain first-hand materials and technology, and departments can also constantly exchange what they have learned. The technical level and accumulated results of the subordinate research departments of those first-class Orthodox Churches are basically several generations ahead of the outside world, and they may even embark on a research path that the outside world cannot understand.

For this reason, generally speaking, these research teams are relatively independent, and their weird relationship with the Orthodox Church is often "superiors and subordinates in name, but partners in reality". It is really too costly for the Orthodox Church to support all of them, and all kinds of fund-swindling are often not worth the effort.

Letting them roll up is the behavior of a sensible manager.

"Boss, our Alchemy Research Lab is your direct research department. Can we give you priority in this underground area exploration?"

Today, Miss Lu has become independent in a sense.

Unlike Ms. Rou who has been making rapid progress in the field of research (becoming a homebody), Ms. Lu's talents and abilities are of little help in research. Instead, it is her sisterly relationship with Hua Xueyi and her network of connections as an old backbone (potion master) that have enabled her to achieve great success in her actions.

To put it bluntly, compared to top researchers, she is more like a director of the research department, the kind of intermediary who can connect top researchers, carry out big projects, and attract budgets.

Her words made Lu Ping'an stunned.

He knew that from the other party's perspective, this should not be her request alone. Even if the alchemy laboratory under her command wanted to participate, it only needed to write a report. There was no need to find someone of Lu Ping'an's level.

She spoke up, only to explain that this was the idea of ​​many similar departments.

“Are they very motivated?”

"Of course, there are relics of several ancient civilizations, research materials with a limited time limit, they are all going crazy, and there is also the fire you started."

"What? What does it have to do with them?"

"In fact, research can kill you, but the chances are generally low. Their mortality rate has increased more than tenfold in the past two days."

Hearing this, it was Lu Ping'an's turn to lose control.

What a crazy scientist. He only had one life before so he took it easy, but now that he can be resurrected, he doesn't take his life seriously at all?

The price of death, even within Lu Ping'an's divine domain, will still bring about negative factors such as a decline in overall "scale", a decline in individual strength, a decrease in soul intensity, and a regression in professional level. The cruelest of these should be a certain degree of lack of "emotion".

That is, the living are closer to the dead, and the dead are closer to machines.

"Some people say that this is a good thing for research and development."

Well, sage time is good for learning?

Lu Ping'an covered his forehead with his hands, some extreme words were hard to express.

He pondered whether he needed to further reduce the support for the "resurrection" system and provide it with negative effects such as trance and schizophrenia. After thinking about it, he decided to be a human being. After all, there are very few such guys.

"How about raising the price of 'life insurance'? Well, there's no need to raise the base price. Just increase the cost of the second and third deaths. If you die for the third time, it will be ten times higher. I'll add it in the next patch."

Lu Ping'an was not in a hurry to apply the patch, because frequent revisions of "government decrees" would be a continuous blow to the official authority.

At the same time, he also expected these research departments to produce some results, even if they were a little radical. The world was breaking into pieces, and everyone didn't have much time left.

The various R&D departments within Lu Ping'an have cooperative relationships with each other, but are also relatively independent.

Except for a very small number of promising companies that received angel investment from Lu Ping'an, most forces have to bear their own profits and losses. This does not represent complete market competition, because there is too much freedom in the research field, which will lead to a series of fatal problems such as "research direction is eager for quick success and instant benefits" and "no one does basic research".

Lu Ping'an will evaluate its achievements and give it a large bonus, and then help and approve its industrialization and commercialization.

Playing this way may seem to reduce its efficiency and benefits, but in fact, with the participation of Lu Ping'an's management experts, the results often bring in hundreds or even thousands of times the benefits, and it also helps researchers save a lot of energy and trouble.

At the same time, it also prevents some R&D departments from going astray, and can guide their R&D direction to a certain extent, by continuously directing the research direction towards the needs of the courtyard through orders and bonuses.

Of course, the premise for doing this is that the official needs to have an extremely strong evaluation mechanism. If your "review committee" is even less capable than the research department and cannot understand those messy reports, it is traditional for the R&D department to cheat on funds, but the most terrifying thing is to cheat and not work for you.

"Has the Council started organizing the project subcontracting meeting?"

"It has begun, but Ms. Chris needs some time to rest. It may take a while."

Lu Ping'an nodded. Sometimes he really felt that Big Cat was a super model worker. He could go to the battlefield, work in the kitchen, enter the laboratory, and enter the bedroom. He would work himself to death if he could not die. Ahem, now Lu was full of gratitude to Chris.

"We will be able to get a report on all the species soon. We have already achieved results in weaponizing the stone men."
