Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 765 - 492: A Heavy Hammer _3

Yue Gengyang watched the voting numbers rise; after Raymond spoke, he too found his voice.

"Is it not too hasty to proceed with the next step of the coastal trials right now? After all, this concerns many cities along the coast, as well as residents numbering in the tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions."

The project representative replied calmly, "We have considered this carefully. To achieve perfection, further trials are needed, just as with new drug research, clinical trials are always required. I believe President Yue, you can understand that."

Yue Gengyang said, "I understand, but I am very skeptical; is this project really safe enough to proceed to the ’clinical trial’ stage? No offense intended, I’m just concerned about my company, with Ancestral Factory’s headquarters being by the sea..."

Yue Gengyang and the project representative exchanged questions and answers, maintaining a mostly amiable atmosphere.

Questions from Yue Gengyang kept coming one after another.

The big investor Raymond, however, found the scene extremely awkward, his aged eyes flashing with shrewdness.

"Yue’s attitude is off, as if something has happened that we are all unaware of!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

Having dealt with him many times, he considered himself to have a reasonable understanding of this business elite, who was half his age.

But in today’s meeting, on the critical issue of the Butterfly Project, Geng Yang exhibited a side that Raymond found hard to comprehend.

Was this typical of Yue Gengyang’s character?

Or was it that Yue Gengyang was simply being overly cautious on this matter?

Could someone at the helm of a globally renowned pharmaceutical giant like Ancestral Factory be a saint? Caring about his company is one thing, but caring about people elsewhere, too?

I, Raymond, don’t believe a word of it!

Could he be concealing something bad?

In fact, many in the room shared Raymond’s line of thought and quietly awaited what Yue Gengyang would say next.

The spokesperson at the podium also heightened their vigilance.

Yue Gengyang, glancing at Feng Yi sitting nearby out of the corner of his eye, continued to question the spokesperson:

"I just heard your introduction to the large model of the Butterfly Project. From selecting targets to striking, it requires the collection of vast and comprehensive meteorological data, to be processed in an extremely short time with high precision and complexity. The difficulty level is indeed astonishing!"

The project representative replied with a smile.

Yue Gengyang also smiled, then continued, "I would like to ask..."

Yue Gengyang looked at the representative, his tone not forceful, his face still wearing a polite, faint smile, but the question he asked hit hard as if it were a sledgehammer:

"May I ask, in the large model of this project, are there any unknown variables?"

The room fell suddenly silent.

At the podium in front, the spokesperson who had been composed enough to answer now had their smile freeze momentarily.

At this moment, several key members of the Butterfly Project team also showed a change in their complexion.

Even if some were quick to compose themselves, many of the sharp observers in the room had caught onto the look of shock that flashed across their faces.

Andrei, not minding stirring up trouble, blurted out, "Oh yes! Your expressions tell me that there are indeed unknown variables! And they’re very important! Perhaps a serious safety hazard? An unknown variable could cause outcomes that deviate from the plan, or even results that are entirely different! You’re not being honest!"

In the hall, those about to press their voting devices hesitated.

On the large screen in front, the slowly increasing "Votes Cast" number came to a halt.

The core members of the project team were utterly astonished, their first thought:

There! Is! A! Leak!
