<h4>Chapter 312: What? Rejecting The Advanced?</h4>

    On February 1st, 20X3, one month after the release of the domestic version of “100% Science Lab,” the international multilingual version of “100% Science Lab” was released in more than 80 countries and regions around the world, covering more than 4 billion foreign poptions. Those countries included Japan, Gorea, the United Kingdom, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, and other mid-sized industrial countries.


    It was expected to attract about 20,000 foreign scientists to enter this scientific simtion game. The main reason why the overseas version of this game wasunched one monthter than the domestic version was to ease the resistance against the promotion of this game.


    Chen Jin intended to wait for the domestic yers of “100% Science Lab” toe up with some scientific research results, which would prove the value of this game. Thepany would fully promote it when all other countries could see the potential of this game.


    Say, did any yers from Z country achieve any results in his research in a short period of one month? Of course, they did! In fact, there were more than a few yers who achieved sessful oues in their research and even more whopleted their projects. There were thousands and thousands of them!


    It was because “100% Science Lab” had a special feature called “the actual application field.” The development speed was 10 times faster, and the uracy still remained close to 100%. This meant that it took one month toplete an actual application project in the game, which was equal to ten months in reality. In ten months, you could, of course, get a lot of scientific research results.


    ording to the research and development results, more than 10,000 academic theses had been automatically generated, including hundreds of high-value theses... yers in this game did not have to worry about writing a thesis. There were even a few papers in it that had the potential to be featured in top science journals such as Nature. This stunned and overwhelmed many editors of the science magazines.


    “A game-generated thesis in which all the data are simted data, but the principle of the experiment, the conclusion of the paper and the results of the experiment can all be confirmed in the real-lifeboratory. There is not much error whenpared with the real situation.”


    “This kind of thesis can be regarded as an ‘effective’ paper.” This was said by a discussion author who applied to be featured in a magazine.


    “No, no!” Another editor-in-chief of a particr magazine desperately shook his head. “This kind of paper is not an academic achievement, but a mischief of game production. It is not real science! Its emergence is a mockery of all science!”


    “But... these papers do have great value. They do represent some truth. And isn’t the purpose of scientists’ work to pursue the truth? Why should we care about the process of obtaining truth?” said an editor in the office.


    “It is still uneptable! Such a thesis cannot be epted!” The editor-in-chief still insisted on his own opinion. He could sit by and watch as a game reced the entire field of science. It was really ridiculous! Therefore, most of the top scientific journals at home and abroad refused to publish all papers generated by the “100% Science Lab” game, regardless of their high value.


    Until a well-known academic journal, who was the first to try publishing a few of these “game papers,” achieved a surge in sales. Since then, the “game papers” were very attractive features by these journals and magazines. In short, there was no doubt that the “100% Science Lab” game was extremely valuable.


    On the one hand, it was a practical application field, which could speed up scientific research tenfold. In addition, the threshold for scientific research this year was too high. The price of various types of precision instruments and equipment was too expensive. It was simply a game of spending the most money. The rich countries could afford to spend top dor, hence they became stronger and stronger, leaving everyone in the dust. And those small industrial countries, or small countries with no industrial base, would never catch up in most areas except for a few small projects.


    Now, theputing speed of the “Scientific Lab” was in the league of the supeputers. Those functions of the game were the same as in reality. Theboratories were worth tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, and tens of billions. You could own all of those in the cloud server as long as you improve your game level. In the cloud server, you could carry out the so-called “cloud research;” the research and development results could be extracted into the real world. It was a truly amazing piece of equipment. A super amazing piece of equipment that saved money!


    How many medium-sized countries had it given hope to; that they could be a “scientific and technological power” too. And how many of those old powers had it given hope to; that they could “take shortcuts” and “be a superpower all over again.” It also brought the hope of bing a “science and technology god” to the vast number of science enthusiasts, pseudoscientists, and untrained self-dered scientists. That was, as long as their level was high enough. It could be said that the game “100% Science Lab” pushed the whole world to enter the era of “low cost” high technology.


    Although the responses from the scientific circles of various countries towards this type of game were mixed, the governments of various countries all embraced it with open arms. This was especially true after Xing Hai Technologies announced that it would implement the “Science without Borders” program on a global scale, and promote “100% Science Lab.”


    The performance of each country was overwhelming in its ttery. Japan said, “We are very pleased to wee Xing Hai Technologies”Science Without Borders’ program. We are willing to spend 10 billion to support the promotion of ‘Science Lab’.” They were simply giving money away.


    Gorea said, “We hope to be the first overseas country to wee the introduction of the “Science Lab.” We are willing to provide 100 billion for support. We will also provide free office space, permanent tax exemption, and a certain amount of subsidies every year.” The Goreans were even more enthusiastic.


    Britain said, “If possible, we are willing to invest 10 billion to buy the “Scientific Laboratory” server and build a European service for European yers in order to ease the operating pressure on the main server.” This was rejected by Xing Hai Technologies.


    Germany said, “Xing Hai Technologies, it is a pity that we have not settled on a partnership before. We have corrected some mistakes and hope to be the best friends and partners of Xing Hai Technology.” The integrity of the Germans also began to fall.


    After a round of performances expressing their goodwill, Chen Jin found that there was one figure missing. Merica. This time, Xing Hai Technologies did not exclude Merica. It clearly stated that it hoped to build a world of “science without borders.” This meant that the game “100% Science Lab” could also be released in M?erica. It could attract Merican yers and strengthen the nation’s technological capabilities. But in the face of such a good opportunity, Merica actually remained indifferent. They expressed nothing.


    “What is going on with them?” Chen Jin was puzzled, he asked Ling Jundong to investigate the reasons. Very quickly, Ling Jundong reported the results of the investigation, which surprised Chen Jin.


    “The Merican scientificmunity saw the value of the game ‘100% Science Labs.’ They wrote a joint proposal letter rmending that the President and Congress introduce the game to help Merica’s technology remain in the lead. Hence, they hoped that Congress would lift the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies and establish a normal cooperative rtionship. But... This was rejected by the National Assembly. The President agreed at the beginning but changed his mindter. He thinks that the sanctions against Xing Hai Technologies should continue until Xing Hai Technologies hands over the so-called ‘stolen technology’.’ The joint initiative of the scientificmunity in Merica has been denied due to government politics.” Ling Jundong shook his head. “The Merican government is still holding onto their stance with all their might, which is pointless. This even led to uproars in the scientificmunity. When the whole world is vying for a partnership with Xing Hai Technologies, the politicians of Merica would rather embrace stupidity and ignorance, and refuse to embrace the advanced.”


    Chen Jin squinted. This incident was somewhat unexpected. But after thinking about it carefully, he thought that the matter was not strange at all. Instead, it might even make a bit of sense. “Old Ling, I think that that bunch of politicians is not embracing stupidity and ignorance, but a pack of lies that they can’t package and pretty up any longer.”
