"Is it Vader? Or is it Braun?"
After parting ways with Elise, on the way back to the laboratory on the negative third floor, Shado was still thinking about this issue. He was familiar with Vader, the two great arcanists, but he couldn't identify them as Vader just based on the existing information. Virtue.
As for Braun, Chateau had limited knowledge of him, but he could not rule out suspicion.
But in any case, these two people are the most suspicious. When you return to the main plane and pay more attention to their movements, you may be able to find some clues.
…
Back in the laboratory, Shado called Ross to his lounge and asked with concern: "How is your project on the structure of the Sith ring going?"
"It's almost finished, because it has been accumulated before, and now it is more about experimental verification. I will be able to submit a report to the management center in three days at most." Rhodes said with some embarrassment.
Because he is the only one working on this project, the relevant facilities and equipment in the laboratory are only used by him, and the utilization rate is too low.
Thinking of the several completed projects in the laboratory recently, Rhodes felt a little regretful. If he had known that "McCard" really didn't mess with the project evaluation, he should have opened his project to more people. .
Although this will lower the contribution evaluation of individual participants within the project, as long as the critical point of "above average" is reached, the efficiency of project completion can be improved by more than a little.
You must know that promotion to level 1 researcher requires at least three level 1 project participation experiences with "above average" evaluations. In this case, cooperation is the fastest way.
This approach might not work for other researchers, because they would all try to lower the evaluation of a single participant's contribution, but in the McCarde lab, Rhodes has witnessed it firsthand - it doesn't.
How could he not be grateful for this!
Shado didn't care about Ross's complex psychology. He just asked about the progress of the project in a business-like manner. This time he asked Ross for something else:
"Have any assistant researchers been contacting you recently?"
"Yes, quite a few! But those level 1 researchers responded very quickly. Almost every assistant researcher was assigned to the project. Unless they break their skin in a short time, it would be difficult to get out. If adults want to If you want to recruit people, you may have to wait a little longer.”
"No."
Shado shook his head and said to Rhodes: "If you spread the news, say that McCarde Laboratory will not recruit new people in a short time. If there are new recruitment plans in the future, they will be announced to the public."
"Huh? Oh!"
Ross was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that there were already a lot of people in the laboratory, and recruiting more people might not bring much improvement in efficiency, so it would be better to stop.
"Yes, sir, I will do it immediately!"
"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Xia Duo quickly stopped the impatient Ross and continued: "Huck told me two days ago that he has saved enough three 'good' evaluation level 1 projects required for promotion.
"But you also know that Huck and the others have always focused on the field of elf magic in the past. There are very few people studying elf magic in the institute. Now even if he is promoted alone, he can't find any good projects, let alone suitable manpower.
"So he proposed that after his promotion, he would like to continue to cooperate with McArdle Laboratory, and use this to seek a transformation and shift to a more general field of spell design.
Correct
"Huck's situation gave me some inspiration. The conditions of our McCard Laboratory are limited after all, but if several laboratories join forces, it may not be impossible to form a more powerful alliance.
"What do you think about this kind of thing?"
Rhodes and Huck are different, of course, mainly in different research fields. Huck, who focuses on the field of elf magic, has a hard time finding suitable people and getting new projects.
But Rhodes is different. Even if he can't think of a project himself, he can still take on the projects provided by the above. There are many more options than Huck.
However, Shado does not want Rhodes and others to only use McCarde's laboratory as a springboard for promotion. He hopes to use the laboratory staff after Rhodes and others are promoted to recruit more assistant researchers to undertake his outsourcing projects. .
Of course, the term "consortium" is just an exaggeration. Xia Duo is not going to form any private interest alliance in the institute, but if everything is put on the table and official business is done, whether it is from the top or anyone else, Nothing can be said.
If Level 1 researchers are promoted in this way, if they still choose to cooperate with Xia Duo, a considerable proportion of the resources allocated to researchers by the institute will be taken up.
This has formed a so-called "McCard camp". Although it cannot match those veteran researchers in terms of resource allocation for a single project, it can use the number of laboratories to pile it up!
Unless those veteran researchers are willing to let go of their suppression of the promotion of their subordinates and form a similar alliance, but what is the difference between this and Sha Duo's approach?
Will those subordinates who have been suppressed for promotion all year round really be willing to continue working for their original bosses for free or at low prices once they get promoted?
Not only will the higher-ups not object to this kind of thing, but they will strongly support it!
As Huck was the one who took the initiative to bring up the alliance, Xia Duo was not worried about their betrayal in a short period of time, but he was not so sure about people like Ross.
There are too many cases of dragon slayers becoming evil dragons.
Today, he can be successfully promoted with the help of McArdle Laboratory, but tomorrow he will immediately apply to the superiors to re-examine the authority of Sha Duo's rank. It is unknown.
After all, it is too tempting to suppress the promotion of subordinates and exploit their contributions.
Even Xia Duo, if he were not in the projection plane, might have such thoughts. Human nature is driven by profit, and it is really difficult to limit it.
Of course, if he were really on the main plane, Xia Duo might pursue profits more outside the territory, but within the territory, as the superior, he would still focus more on long-term development.
Rather than benefiting a few people through oppression and exploitation, he prefers to build a fairer competition and promotion environment so that everyone can benefit from it.
It is understandable that those who are capable will earn more and those who are weak will earn less.
And the overall interests are his interests.
The so-called "what is private is public" is pretty much it.
…
Shado's suggestion made Ross silent for a moment. After a long time, he swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice:
"If I don't agree, are you going to block my promotion?"
"No, I may have asked this question too early. I should have waited until you were promoted, but now that I have asked it, I still want to hear what you have to say."
Sha Duo said calmly.
