Chapter 350: Chapter 350 Betrayer

"Professor Lu, we’ve succeeded!"

"The data deviation is only 0.00001%; we have successfully developed the Artificial Uterus nurturing vessel!"

Lu Xining’s experiment finally achieved complete success.

Previously, the data deviations in the project were growing larger, and the faces of her colleagues were increasingly filled with worry; everyone had practically been living in the laboratory. Now that they had finally succeeded, her tense emotions relaxed at this moment.

Seeing the dark circles under the eyes of her colleagues, Lu Xining knew everyone had worked hard.

She declared on the spot, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Therefore, the researchers involved in this project will have a 2-week vacation, and the monthly bonus will be tripled. Go and spend some quality time with your families."

"Oh! Thank you, Professor Lu, no, thank you Boss Lu!"

"Perfect timing, my daughter is about to have her winter vacation. I can take this chance to take her to the beach. Teacher Sang, have you managed to sort things at home?"

"Almost, I have already brought my mother and brother from the countryside..."

Everyone was discussing their subsequent arrangements.

Before leaving, Lu Xining reminded them that no matter how the family members inquired, the confidentiality of the project must be upheld.

"Don’t worry, Professor Lu! This is a joint effort by all of us, and we will keep it absolutely tight-lipped!"

Despite the utmost precautions, a slip-up still occurred.

One Saturday morning, a week later, just after Lu Xining had picked up her two sons from the airport, she received a call from her female assistant.

"Professor Lu, something’s gone wrong!"

While preparing for the subsequent promotional work for the Artificial Uterus at the ZN experiment base, another bioresearch company called ’Antis’ had launched the project first.

At the moment she saw the functions and data from the other party, Lu Xining’s brows immediately furrowed.

The functions and data were exactly the same as their successful experiment!

Having the same experiment topic in the community isn’t usually a problem; it just means everyone is focused on the same research direction.

But if the test data is the same, then it’s a major issue!

Whoever publishes first gains the upper hand.

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Seeing her staring at her phone silently and with a grave expression, Ji Chao anxiously asked, "Did something happen?"

"Yes, there’s a little problem in the laboratory; mom needs to go sort it out. Xiao Chao, take your brothers and sister to the office to play for a while, and after I’m done, I’ll take you out to eat, okay?"

The three children all said it was fine.

With her two older brothers by her side, Lu Nuonuo’s smile never faded.

Back at the ZN experiment base, Lu Xining immediately called an emergency meeting.

Those who hadn’t left the experiment base all came to attend the meeting, and other project team members also bought plane tickets to rush back as soon as they received the news.

"These data from Antis Bioresearch Company, not only resemble ours but are exactly the same."

As soon as Lu Xining said this, there was instant silence below.

They also all noticed the issue; clearly, someone had leaked their experimental data.

That is to say, there was a traitor within their project team!

"Could it be that hackers breached our internal system?"

Someone raised this doubt, but it was quickly dismissed by the response from the female assistant.

"No, the internal system at ZN experimental base is unique; it was personally designed by a top expert in electronic systems. It is maintained by thousands of firewalls every second, no hacker, not even the designer of this system himself, could breach it."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and no one spoke further.

Lu Xining also did not want to suspect anyone inside the experiment base; silence spread in the meeting room, weighing heavily on everyone’s hearts.

They were all talents personally invited by her; giving them money, houses, resources, every treatment was the best within the industry, even their children’s education issues were resolved, all for them to focus more wholeheartedly on their work.

Lu Xining believed she had done everything to the extreme.

But now all evidence pointed to the existence of a traitor internally.

She was suffering inwardly at this moment.

"I’ve already arranged a dedicated team to investigate this matter, although I don’t want to suspect our internal staff, but..."

"Professor Lu, rest assured! We are willing to cooperate with the investigation."

"Exactly, the Artificial Uterus experiment was initially led by you personally. From the initial project to successful experiment, how much effort you’ve put in, we’ve all seen it. This project is also the common pursuit of us all, and I will unconditionally cooperate with the investigation."

"I am willing, too!"

"So am I!"

The voices in the meeting room intersected, Lu Xining’s gaze swept over everyone.

Their eyes held nothing but genuine sincerity and seriousness; she nodded in response and promised to get to the root of the problem.

"The ZN experiment base’s Artificial Uterus project will postpone its promotional activities, and everything will be discussed after the subsequent results are presented."

"Now, let’s adjourn the meeting; everyone, please go back and rest."

The meeting room returned to silence, leaving only her and the female assistant who had not yet left.

Before letting Xu Zhi design the blueprints, Lu Xining had already decided to arrange the employee dormitories closest to the base’s entrance, providing each on-duty researcher with a two-bedroom apartment, making it convenient for their families to visit them.

The ZN experiment base is divided into an inner and outer circle.

The inner circle can only be entered by research personnel involved in experimental projects, each person must go through facial recognition and card swiping to enter the core area of the experiment base.

All personnel entry times and movement trajectories are recorded in the system.

Moreover, each researcher is responsible for different projects; the laboratories they can enter also differ. If not involved in the experiment, even if one can enter the inner circle, they cannot enter the corresponding lab.

Thus, if a problem arises, it is easier to precisely eliminate related personnel.

The outer circle includes Lu Xining’s office, the meeting room, as well as surgical and inpatient buildings for treating patients, and also where the researchers live,

Ji Muye’s hospitalization took place in the outer circle, as he never entered the core area of the ZN experiment base.

The living area encompasses employee swimming pools, gyms, dining halls, and other leisure facilities, all of which are provided free of charge to the researchers as work benefits.

Between the employee dormitory and the central building of the experiment center, there is a 24-hour surveillance patrol system. Even the researchers’ families are not allowed to enter the inner circle; this is a consensus among everyone.

Even the loopholes by the cliffs behind the mountain, Lu Xining had already had high walls erected.

Therefore, if a leakage of experimental data occurs, aside from internal staff, there is absolutely no other possibility.
