Chapter 2437

Orphen turned and looked out of the window to see the sky.

"Before the sun goes down today, Grizzly will be back to where it was."

"That's really great!" Joan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, but Anahita was nowhere to be seen.

"Is Ms. Anahita not here?"

"She doesn't want to go back to the town. She only contacted us through messaging magic before. She also said that she was in a bad mood and just wanted to be alone. She didn't even bother to answer her student's letter." Mrs. Josephine smiled half a smile .

"No wonder Slude can't get in touch with her."

Joan was stunned, and then sighed again.

"Actually, I admire Ms. Anahita's insistence on justice. I had no choice but to challenge her yesterday. Afterwards, I felt like an executioner who suppressed the revolutionary leaders and an accomplice of evil forces. I felt deeply guilty for this. I originally wanted to face her. Ms. Nahita apologized, it's a pity she didn't give me this chance."

"Little brother, it's rare for you to have such a heart." The giant slapped Joan and almost pushed Joan to the ground, "Don't worry, I will tell Anahita what is in my heart for you, and she will understand !"

"Uh...that's good." Joan jumped out from between the giant's fingers in embarrassment.

Looking up, fortunately, the dome of the church is high enough, so the big guy won't break the ceiling.

Some things are inconvenient for Joan to say in front of outsiders. It was not until Orphen and Humbaba left the church that he found the opportunity to ask Mrs. Josephine in a low voice: "Are the smallpox epidemic prevention measures mentioned in the agreement newly developed by the instructor?" 'Vaccination'?"

The countess nodded slightly.

"I corresponded with Trophim last night, telling him that he plans to create a charitable foundation serving public health, hoping to obtain his authorization to vaccinate the poor and aborigines in the New World with safer and more reliable smallpox vaccines free of charge."

"This is a good thing, the instructor will never refuse your request!" Joan asserted firmly.

The countess smiled, looking a little weird.

"Trofim did readily agree, and I am not surprised by this, but what he said later made me deeply disturbed."

"What did the tutor tell you?" Joan asked curiously.

"He said that he has seen the first draft of your thesis, and there is nothing that needs to be revised. He plans to send it directly to the editorial department of "Abstract Exploration", and try to publish it in this year's autumn issue."

"In addition to the manuscript of the thesis, he also needs to attach a statement in the submission letter, voluntarily giving up the relevant patents and commercial rights of the smallpox vaccine, and providing free technical support to all countries and regions suffering from smallpox infection in the world, and helping human society and smallpox. Contribute a modest contribution to the fight against the virus."

"Joan, listen to these beautiful words! Tsk tsk, such a selfless and noble behavior is really not something that the Trophim I am familiar with can do!" Mrs. Josephine said mockingly.

"I'm not surprised."

Joan has always believed that Professor Moriarty is just informal and occasionally extreme. He is never confused when it comes to major issues, and he can even be called great. This statement of Gao Fengliangjie's compassion is enough to prove that he has not misunderstood the person.

Mrs. Josephine shook her head lightly, with a shadow in her eyes.

"Trophim's doing this is of course a good thing for the country and the people, but have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"Consequences..." Joan frowned and thought, and couldn't help but change his face, "You mean, some people don't want Professor Moriarty to publish a paper on smallpox epidemic prevention, let alone contribute this technological achievement to all mankind free of charge? "

"As far as I know, the colonists and military generals of Midgard are no longer a minority who are extremely hostile to the aborigines. They wish that the aborigines in this land would be killed by the smallpox virus. It is precisely because of public opinion that the colony It is inconvenient for the government to provide medical assistance to the aborigines in smallpox-infested areas in an official capacity, and people like me are needed to act as intermediaries to provide smallpox vaccines to the Asa people in the name of private charities."

"With the shell of charity as a cover, and we will also provide free vaccines to the poor in the colonies, keep a low profile in our affairs, keep a bowl of water level, and try to avoid attracting military radicals and right-wing extremists who advocate colonial expansion. However, once Trophim publishes the thesis and the statement publicly, he will definitely push himself to the forefront and become the focus of public opinion. While gaining a huge reputation, he will inevitably be criticized and even lead to retaliation."

Hearing the countess' concerns, Joan naturally thought of the "tea party incident" that took place in Leiden Harbor this spring, and the political violence that occurred one after another. Even he himself said a few words on the cloud network Fair words lead to reprisals, the office is vandalized by thugs, and he is forced to leave Leiden Academy.

If Professor Moriarty publishes the paper and the statement, it will be difficult not to be regarded as a sympathizer of the aborigines by the colonial expansionists. lead to violent attacks.

In addition, there is another knot that is even more difficult for Joan to let go of, that is, Professor Moriarty was hired by the military to develop a smallpox virus that specifically infects aborigines.

Frankly speaking, Professor Moriarty is also responsible for the rampant smallpox epidemic in the aboriginal communities of the New World in recent years.

If the military high-ranking staff became angry and did not hesitate to expose the incident, wouldn't Professor Moriarty be a bad person inside and out, and even be called a "hypocrite" because of this?

The more Joan thought about it, the more headache she felt, so she told Mrs. Josephine her concerns, and asked her to persuade her supervisor to give up publishing the paper on epidemic prevention and keep a low profile to keep safe.

"I've tried to persuade Trophim, but it was useless. He is very stubborn about this issue, and no one can stop him." Mrs. Josephine shook her head and smiled wryly.

"Later, I couldn't hold back my anger and criticized him for being irrational and asking for trouble, but Trofim asked me a weird question."

"what is the problem?"

"He asked me, 'Has there ever been one time in your life when you were ashamed of being human'?"

Qiao An scratched his head, vaguely felt that this sentence was very familiar, who said it?

The Countess looked bewildered, and murmured to herself: "I asked Trophim, what did he mean by that? Later he wrote back and told me: 'This is the question Joanne asked me, I don't like the feeling of shame .'"

ah? this……

"No wonder these words sound familiar, so I said it myself." Joan scratched her head in embarrassment, and said to the Countess: "It was a long time ago, and I did ask my instructor about this question, but this I don't see any direct connection between the problem and the supervisor's decision to publish the vaccine paper publicly and to abandon the patent of epidemic prevention technology."

"On the one hand, it is to contribute one's ingenuity to the cause of human public health. On the other hand, it is to protect one's life wisely and stay away from political disputes. The two are not contradictory. Why does the mentor have to go to extremes, and can't he make a compromise?" Qiao An said to This is deeply confusing.
