Chapter 419 - Divine Research Institute Member: Lu Ran! (Part 1)
“No, not yet!”
Hearing the pleasant voice that rang out of thin air, Lu Ran couldn’t help but curl his lips upward.
This time, facing Limitless City’s ascension choice, he chose to refuse temporarily because there were still a few people surrounding him. He was in the middle of a conversation with them. Leveling up mid-conversation would be somewhat impolite and abrupt.
“Look, look! This student can’t even suppress the joy on his face. Then again, with such an invention, who wouldn’t be overjoyed?”
Principal Deng of the National Mechanical University laughed heartily, shaking Lu Ran’s hand. “Student Lu, you really gave us quite the scare.”
Vice Principal Fu added, still in disbelief, “Indeed... Speaking of which, Dr. Cheng Kong must have known about this all along. You two have been playing quite the long game.
“What exactly is the deal with the Elemental Life Creation Device? I know it might not be appropriate to ask, but creating elemental lifeforms is still a bit hard to believe. The principle can’t be as simple as you described.”
Lu Ran chuckled awkwardly, waving his hand. “Teachers... Don’t look at me like that. It’s making me nervous. These things can’t be explained in just a few words. No need to probe—I have no intention of keeping this technology to myself. Just as I said during the invention competition, such meaningful technology shouldn’t be exclusive to me alone.
“Give me half a month to organize the research materials, alright? In half a month, I’ll hand over the complete technical documentation for the Elemental Life Creation Device to the nation, unconditionally.”
Everyone was stunned and exchanged glances.
Such awareness...
Under normal circumstances, if a mechanical invention were the work of an individual, no organization or individual could forcibly seize the project according to the law. The inventor had the right to apply for a patent, monopolizing the technology and even using it to start a company for profit.
