61 Giant Pharmaceutical Company (2/2)

At the final stages, tiny silver needle-like tubes would release a dot of silvery substances into each bottle and stirred it evenly.

That's spirit powder!

”Producing potions of life?” Feng Lin instinctively replied. Of course, he immediately realized what this was.

”Good judgment!” Isabella praised. ”As expected of an extremely young genius that is qualified to be a genetic researcher!”

Her footsteps didn't stop, and she continued to lead Feng Lin forward. Very swiftly, they came to a factory that resembled a large-scale laboratory.

Feng Lin saw a group of humans in white coats focus on the intricate equipments in their hands as they carefully concocted the genetic potions.

What was different was that the concoction of genetic potions wasn't fully concocted by machinery. Machinery would automate the process until the final step where 'spiritual perception' was needed. Since machinery wasn't able to complete the final step; thus, humans were needed. They would then adjust the amount of spirit particles in the potions to reach the optimal state.

One couldn't help but say that this was truly an intelligent work method.

However as Feng Lin observed, he discovered that there are some flaws with this method.

This was especially true since the preparation of potions were all mechanically synthesized, and there was no human involvement at all before that. That meant the humans at the final step might find it tough to accurately grasp the potency of effects from the components, and the spiritual perception effect might decline, resulting in a lower quality product. But even so, because the majority of the steps were automated, the production efficiency was increased by at least five times.

When the quality of the potions lowered, the price would naturally fall as well. But despite so, the final total value would rise significantly as a result of the surge in production efficiency.

In short, this was an intelligent method that only had some slight disadvantages. Moreover, the benefits far outweighed the disadvantages.

Feng Lin also discovered that these people wearing white coats were all genetic researchers. He couldn't help but ask, ”Is this where I'll be working at in the future?”

Isabella shook her head and laughed. ”No. Feng Lin, after the virtual interview yesterday, all five of the interviewers feel that your knowledge on mythologies and gene theory are both extremely solid. Although your concoction methods are rusty, your personality is exceptionally calm, and you can definitely be considered a top genius. The main interviewer yesterday was none other than the manager of the Research and Development department, Manager Frank. He was the one who specially requested you to go to his department. So, after a tour of the company's departments, I'll send you to the R&D department where you can officially start your internship!”

”The R&D department!” Feng Lin was stunned. This was a core department of a high tech company, yet he was actually so highly regarded, being sent there the instant he joined.

Although he wasn't clear of the reason why, no matter what, it was always a good thing to be so heavily regarded in a new company.

'I wonder what does the R&D department do exactly?” He mused and involuntarily asked.

”Seems like you are really keen. In that case, let us head over there now and meet with your new colleagues.” Isabella smiled lightly and led the way. ”Follow me.”

As she led the way, she introduced the general situation of the R&D department to Feng Lin. ”In order to keep the market competitive, we must constantly develop new products. Hence, the main job of the R&D department is to research new types of genetic potions before testing their effects of little white mice. Once the genetic potions are fully tested and suitable for human usage, our company would then produce them in bulk and introduce them into the market to earn profits!”

Feng Lin nodded as she explained, feeling that her words were logical and he didn't feel that anything was wrong.

Very soon, they reached the R&D department. A heavy and thick door made of metal opened silently. Feng Lin then followed Isabella into a new space.

The surrounding walls were all constructed from powerful alloys. There were no cracks or demarcation lines at all; they were like one complete whole.

Numerous genetic researchers moved about, all of them extremely busy. The air was filled with a strong atmosphere of research.

This was the company's core technology department. If one wanted to learn about the knowledge of geneticist's systems, this was the place to be.

Feng Lin nodded. He was very satisfied with this job.

However, with a sweep of his gaze, he instantly felt that something was wrong.

Inside the R&D department, sealed glass cabins could be seen everywhere. The glass cabins were filled with a red-colored fluid, and each of them had a naked human floating within. Their noses and mouths were fixed with a facepiece, providing them with oxygen. Numerous tubes could also be seen inserted into their bodies.

These genetic researchers concocted different types of strange genetic potions and were using the tubes to force their potions into the human bodies here.

The expressions of those humans in the glass cabins were wretched with agony. Their bodies contorted and spasmed uncontrollably. They were basically the white mice in scientific laboratories.

Feng Lin felt his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley. He finally understood what did the term 'little white mice' spoken by Isabella earlier mean.

”Human experimentations!”
