How to Live Immortally Episode 273
273 I can’t stand this
“You really don’t know anything, sir.”
The girl, who was shrugging her shoulders so proudly that it almost made her cry for no reason, raised her index finger as if to tell me to listen carefully.
“First of all, Professor Paulo is a department head who enjoys the trust of the Dean of Faculty.”
One is the head of the chemical engineering department, the other is the head of the materials engineering department. It is not strange that two people from the same department would be close, but their bond was formed in a more fundamental way.
“To be exact, we studied together in the same class.”
“……no way?”
“You probably know that your partner is a rotten person.”
Even if you report it to the dean, he will protect Paulo, the department head. If you think about it―
“I can’t help but notice that each paper has a different personality.”
“Because the geography presented by each scholar is no different from a fingerprint.”
“The rhyme is no joke.”
“Ah. Okay, focus.”
“Yes, that’s right,” Gaon replied simply, then a question suddenly occurred to him.
“Even if it was connected through school ties, protecting them is a separate issue.”
“Because it helps to tolerate it. And since we are in different fields, there is no need to engage in a needless war of nerves. I heard that Professor Paulo’s ability to attract investment from outside is almost god-like.”
Was he a master of hospitality and entertainment? It seemed like his talent had blossomed in a useless field. But―
“You know a lot about it. You know it better than most information brokers.”
“You must have forgotten, but I’m a professor here. Even if I just sit here, I can hear all kinds of gossip.”
“Still, you managed to get through it. If you have the power of the Riga family, you should be able to push them away without any questions or answers.”
“that…….”
When Noah, who had been talking excitedly just a moment ago, started to sweat, Gaon wiped his face.
Didn’t we meet once before?
She was pushed by her collateral relative, Albert Lee, to visit the Lucesia family. It was an incident that clearly showed how Noah was treated within the family, but she forgot about it and asked without hesitation, which could be said to be very insensitive.
That was why Gaon stroked Noah’s hair once and then changed the subject in a playful way.
“Well, you don’t have to have the responsibility to pursue justice by clashing with other departments. You probably didn’t even know it was true until I told you.”
Noah nodded vigorously, smiling sheepishly as if to hide his shame.
“Yes, that’s right. Right now, the research is on track and it’s a busy time.”
“To the point where I can’t help you?”
“Hehe, sir, you shouldn’t have shown me that alien species. I realized that the neural system shown by the primitive creature can be applied to biochips, and I’m working hard to design a new organic processor.”
There may be other reasons why she can’t move recklessly, but Gaon didn’t bother to mention them. He just had to create an opportunity for her to come forward without having to exploit any gaps.
“It’s too bad. If you had taken off your shoes and come forward, I would have given you a small gift.”
When Gaon took out a part from his bosom, Noah opened his eyes wide.
“to……?”
Demonstrating her skills as a tuner, she read the structure of the internal circuit and circled around Gaon in disbelief.
Its identity is an ultra-high temperature superconductor close to a room temperature superconductor. Moreover, it is a completed product that has been miniaturized to make it easy to mass produce.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the stuff of dreams in this day and age. It is an over-technology that is literally worth calling.
“How, something like that?”
“The troubleshooter race has a habit of grabbing anything of value, especially if it belongs to an enemy they’ve faced.”
Gulp, Noah turned his head away as if he was licking his lips.
“Is that so? It’s just junk, so what? I don’t know who would take something like that.”
“You’re not interested? I guess there’s nothing I can do. I’ll have to put it up for sale on the black market or something.”
Selling off an invention that was the result of the wisdom and capital of mankind for a pittance was an outrageous act. It was a decision that Professor Noah could never tolerate.
“Now, wait a minute. I didn’t see it clearly. Please show me one more time.”
Noah suddenly jumped up, but Gaon raised his arm before him.
“So you’re going to pretend you don’t know?”
“Oh, I get it! Just help me. Just help me!”
Noah quickly picked up the remains of the ultra-high temperature superconductor and coughed.
“But don’t expect much. I am not a member of the Riga clan, but rather a professor at Isabella Public University, who wishes to join in on the cause.”
“That alone is enough. What I gave you isn’t perfect. It’s broken in half, but it’ll be useful.”
“Well, the condition is a mess.”
The owner of the super high temperature superconductor was none other than the superhuman Laurel we met at Set Colony. Considering his power, it was truly encouraging that we were able to salvage even one component.
“Oh right, since it contains the technology of the Mars Defense Force, use it appropriately so as not to be detected.”
“Then this is a top military secret… … .”
“The people involved died without leaving any records, so they are as good as not existing in this world. Don’t be afraid for no reason.”
“You say such harsh words so casually.”
“It’s such an exaggeration, it’s beyond words.”
“I’ll ask Professor Ray first. He’s probably friendly to you too.”
Ray Calix.
A software professor whom I had recently gotten in touch with after receiving a request. Even now, I trust her because she organizes Veda’s algorithms.
You may ask how someone from the Department of Artificial Intelligence can influence the Department of Chemical Engineering, which is a different field, but that is because you do not know the structure of Isabela Public University.
This was an educational institution established to honor the achievements of Isabella Lee, the mother of artificial intelligence.
Ray, who had been a professor in such a place for a long time, was a real power among the powerful.
There was no need to argue with the dean of the department in question; all that had to be done was to make a suggestion to the university president, who was in charge of organizing the overall budget.
“Once the brush is ready.”

―Then it was time to look back on the footprints left on the world by a man named Paulo Gen. Yes, it was time for the special investigation to be conducted solely for one person.
Normally, a large number of divers would have had to be mobilized, but Gaon had his best friend Dobby.
“In the meantime, your skills have improved again.”
[Is that so? Now that I hear it, it seems like there hasn’t been a danger so strong that I’d fall into mannerism. Rather, if I just do this, you’ll run the next raid with me, right?]
“okay.”
The electronic spirit belonging to the Ark, the grandson of Cheshire, should be said. The talent passed down from him seemed to have blossomed in Dobby’s generation.
As expected, the collated results came out quickly. However, because there was so much of it, it was so chaotic that a three-line summary was needed.
Paulo, Sari wasn’t the only victim he had. She wasn’t the first to be hostile to him. Some even filed charges, but they all went unpunished.
Whether it was because he was involved in lawsuits like an annual event, or because he was born with no conscience, Paulo hired a super luxurious defense team and trampled on the manuscript without mercy.
Perhaps because it was a victory obtained by force, the verdict was also disorganized. It was the result of a thorough legal approach. If you have low academic knowledge, you will not be able to grasp the main point and will only have question marks above your head.
Unfortunately, the matter was too complex to arouse public outrage.
Because it’s concise and not intuitive.
The same goes for Sham, who received a call from Gaon and showed up at the meeting place.
“It is certainly a cause for great public outrage, but it seems difficult to gain sympathy. It also seems unclear who is responsible.”
“But there is evidence and testimony.”
“The legal profession is one where strange results come out, such as ‘there seems to be a charge, but it doesn’t seem to be enough to warrant punishment.’”
This was not an opinion expressed by an individual citizen, but by a reporter for the major media outlet Moral Heinz. The person involved must have suffered greatly, to the point of losing his bloodline, but to him, it was just one of the common stories.
“I apologize to Mr. Gaon, who always brings scoops, but this is a request beyond my ability. Even if I publish it, it will be swept away in the sea of information.”
“You seem to be talking so curiously, so I guess you’ve found out something?”
“I did a quick search before coming here, and it seems like there’s a troublesome character involved.”
Purcell Downey.
She was the famous daughter of the owner of a media outlet. Although it was a small, low-quality, yellow press, that did not mean its usefulness was meaningless.
Because they were a group of human scum who would trip up innocent citizens just to publish an exclusive article. Their venom and malice were not at a level that could be defined by normal standards.
Moreover―
“A woman named Pursle, Professor Paulo’s wife.”
“Did you choose your companion based on the situation? This guy is extremely specialized in self-preservation.”
It must be because they have blocked out so many layers of smells that they have been able to live comfortably without being exposed until now.
“Why can’t we just cover it up at Moral Heinz? We can’t protest it head-on, you know.”
“If it were normal, it would be an appropriate response, but since the other party is yellow journalism, this is a problem.”
Even within an industry that specializes in incitement and provocation, there are those who go against the grain.
“We will take action as soon as we hear the news. Judging from Professor Paulo’s actions, he must have prepared materials for such a time.”
Abortion of a famous idol,
The affair of 50 million actors,
Drug addiction of mid-sized company president,
There is no end to the colorful and interesting articles, to name a few.
“Minor wrongdoings like stealing papers will be buried in no time.”
If you can just put out the sparks in advance, it will be extinguished quickly.
That’s the reality these days―
“Just don’t trivialize it. What we should pay attention to is not the professor who cares about his own interests, but this very phenomenon that hinders the development of human civilization.”
Sham tilted his head involuntarily at the bewilderingly large ambition.
“yes?”
“Look at the frame bigger.”
If this had happened at another university, it might have been buried as Sham claimed. But―
“Isabella Public College is different.”
The supreme school where only the best minds of humanity gather. It was a place that everyone had a vague longing for. It can be said that the basic income system was established only with the invention of artificial intelligence.
Everyone who benefited from welfare felt indebted to Isabella’s dedication. Graduating from Isabella’s public university was also considered the highest honor.
Humanity was proud of their civilization that had advanced to Mars. Everyone from the chairman of Megacorp to the back-alley thugs.
But the inside is on the verge of rotting away?
“I can’t stand this.”
“then…….”
“It targets not only Professor Paulo, but also all the faculty and staff of the Isabela Public University.”
Gaon’s eyes lit up as he smiled faintly.
“Yes, how much has the Garden of Eden, which should be an inviolable territory, untouched by politics or capital, and which should contribute to the development of mankind, become tainted by the world… … Don’t you all wonder?”
