After the silence, someone reacted first.
"I don't know what kind of answer it is? This is too confusing!"
"Shady, proper shady!"
"We need a reason, come up with a reason."
Many people voiced dissatisfaction.
In the eyes of these people, it was wrong for Li Bai to answer so comprehensively, and it was unreasonable for Xia Yihui to say that even if he didn't know, he could be counted as correct. This is really against common sense.
Li Bai let out a soft hum in his throat, as if he was also dissatisfied with the result, he glanced at Xia Yihui, and asked, "Why is the answer not known?"
Xia Yihui: "..."
Xia Yihui pretended to be calm and smiled, and said to Li Bai: "Of course a mortal like you can't understand my realm, and you won't understand if I tell you."
Li Bai sneered, and directly pointed it out: "I think you really don't know."
Xia Yiyi didn't reply, but still had a calm smile on his face. Just looking at his face, he really couldn't see a little bit of guilt.
After watching for a while, Li Bai looked away suspiciously, inevitably starting to doubt himself. Is it really just that he has not reached that level, and is not worthy of understanding the answer
At the same time, everyone looked at the female referee in unison, waiting for her reply.
"Reason?" The female referee continued with a smile: "Of course I can tell you the reason. After all, this will help you to recognize the facts faster."
Everyone gave a 'tss', doubts written all over their faces.
The female referee curled her curly hair hanging down her shoulders at her fingertips. She didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze. She only looked at Xia Yihui inquiringly and said, "Do you want to explain yourself, or should I do it?"
Xia Yihui's fingertips trembled.
What else does this explain
Conscience, he really doesn't know!
If you refuse directly, the purpose is too clear, and you may be booed by the crowd. If you refuse politely, you will have to push and pull the topic for a long time, which is a bit of a waste of time.
After thinking about it, Xia Yihui's eyes lit up, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth to say a golden reason.
"Your voice is so beautiful, you should say it."
The female referee narrowed her eyes with a smile, and she was very pleased with this sentence, so she didn't continue to pester her.
Turning around to look at the surrounding audience, the female referee's pointer waved in the air with a 'crack' sound.
"That's right, answerer No. 22 wrote very comprehensively. He clearly stated the number of 53 people who participated in the research. Everyone's impressions before the freezing were written very clearly. At first glance, it is well-founded and completely correct."
Some people were dissatisfied and questioned: "Since you said it was completely correct, why did you judge his answer as wrong?"
Many people booed and made noise.
Including Li Bai himself, who also frowned. He looked at the answer board that he had worked so hard to write for two minutes, and then glanced at Xia's three big characters of "I don't know" that took two seconds to write like a snake. A sense of defeat rose from the bottom of my heart.
The female referee raised her hand and pressed down. The noisy voices of the crowd stopped for a moment, and she continued to say with a smile: "Do you know what kind of roles these 53 people play in this frozen man research project?"
As soon as the words fell, many people froze in place.
Xia Yihui also thought in a daze for a while, what kind of character it could be, isn't it an experimental subject.
Generally, research institutes call people who voluntarily participate in unstable research projects experimental subjects, which can be regarded as a kind of industry slang. As for the purpose, it is generally because of collecting real samples for research projects, and gradually increasing the success rate of experiments.
The research project that Xia Yihui was in charge of was like this, collecting samples for a certain human disease. He brought nearly 50 experimental subjects under his hands, and his daily work was to take care of these patients and record various indicators such as body temperature.
Once this scientific research project is successfully researched, it will save millions of lives, which is much more meaningful than the Freezing Man project, so the number of experimental subjects will also be much larger.
Collecting samples requires a huge number of support. There are only 53 research projects... It's not unheard of, but it's rare. At least when Xia Yihui was still in the research institute, he never came into contact with a research project with less than 200 subjects.
"With such a small sample size, even if the experiment is successful, it is not guaranteed. It may be a case of success."
Thinking of this, Xia Yihui finally realized that something was wrong.
At the same time, the female referee saw that everyone was bewildered, and gave an answer mercifully: "These people are healthy and normal people, and they came to be guinea pigs for that huge sum of money."
Xia Yihui was quick-witted, and as soon as the female referee's explanation came out, he understood immediately without further explanation.
The experiment he was in charge of had many samples. Those people can be called experimental subjects, or guinea pigs, or whatever, but calling them patients is the most appropriate choice.
It is precisely because they are sick that they voluntarily participate in the research. There is a high probability of dying in the research and development process, and a small probability of waiting for the experimental results to come out and get the medicine in batches first.
For such a small probability, there are always countless people who take the initiative to test the medicine one after another.
But those 53 were different.
They are healthy people. If they do not take the initiative to participate in research, they may be able to live for decades in good health. However, the Institute has allocated a large sum of money to lure them to participate in research projects.
If understood in this way, the Freezing Man project is almost no different from a cult ritual, which completely violates the original intention of the research institute to save lives.
Xia Yihui's mind was in a mess, he felt a huge fog filled his eyes, the clues inside were chaotic, layer upon layer, and he couldn't find a clue at all.
"The lack of sample data means that Hua Guo does not support it. This research was carried out secretly." Li Bai's voice came from the side.
Xia was taken aback for a moment, then looked over in a blink of an eye.
Li Bai stood upright, with his face turned to the other side, as if he didn't want to make eye contact with Xia Yihui, and he was extremely resistant.
Xia Yihui pursed her lips: "How do you know?"
Li Bai paused for a few seconds, then turned his head slowly, looked at Xia Yihui with cold eyes, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Why do you think I memorized these 53 people so clearly?"
The back of Xia Yihui's head went numb, and he was rarely speechless.
Without waiting for him to reply, Li Bai continued to speak, his voice was cold, without a trace of emotion, as if asking himself and answering: "Because these 53 people are all my experimental subjects."
"..."
Xia was stunned for a while, and didn't reply for a long time.
In this way, everything can be explained clearly!
Why are there so few sample data, why Li Bai didn’t hesitate to say Youshen, why those 53 people have gone through ups and downs and vicissitudes...
But a new question came up again, why did the research institute conduct this research secretly
It is against the law to directly use living people for experiments without obtaining Huaguo's review documents. If they are held accountable, all those involved in the research will be in bad luck.
Thinking of this, Xia Yi turned to look at the female referee.
And the latter seemed to know what he was thinking, and immediately gave the answer.
"The 53 mice all died during the freezing process. Naturally, their emotions cannot be counted. Of course, I am asking about the one that is still alive."
An aristocratic girl shook her cattail fan in a 'click click' direction, and said in a suspicious voice, "Didn't it mean that 53 people died? Where are there still alive? Could it be that there is no solution to this question, so the answer is not known?"
There is indeed some logic in saying this, but the female referee still shook her head regretfully and said: "That's not the case, 53 people died, the research results are successful, the research is over... Then it's time to apply the research results to the only one person. "
The female referee waved the pointer in the air, and the whiteboard floating up and down in the air was returned to the desktops of the players in the answering area.
"That person's mood before being frozen was... confused. To be precise, none of the fifty or so people present gave the correct answer, so I can only settle for the next best thing and choose the one that is closest to the correct answer."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding circle burst into laughter.
Many nobles nodded in agreement and whispered: "Those 53 people must be commoners, and the last one may be a grand duke and nobleman."
The npcs were in a mess, but the reaction of the players present was completely opposite.
If you pay attention carefully, you will find that the faces of all the players present are slightly pale, and even their steps are a little vain.
In the real world, there is no distinction between nobles and commoners. Everyone is a legal right holder. No one's life is more noble than another's. This practice of sacrificing 53 people to save one is completely absurd.
The barrage in the live broadcast room, including the players, also exploded. Many viewers sitting in front of the computer monitors couldn't help shaking their thighs, and even their fingers trembling when typing on the keyboard.
"Is 666666 a cult? Those 53 people don't really exist, right? I'm getting goosebumps."
"Because those 53 people died during the research process, so is Li Bai's answer wrong? The only person who survived the whole study was the one who enjoyed the research results, so it is only necessary to consider his own thoughts."
"Xia Yihui was a mistake. He asked about the life experiences of the 53 people in the bullet screen. He probably had the same calculation as Li Bai."
"I just searched for frozen man research. Guess what I found... That webpage report is self-made! The magazines, and a certain reporter are all fictitious. My God, did we collide? What's so great about it?"
"What do you mean by self-made web pages? Are they all fake? God, I really hope these are fake, otherwise 53 people will die to save one person, then this person must be so powerful!"
"Stupid, it's not that the information is fake. What I mean is that it is very likely that someone who knows the inside story made this top-secret file into a web page and posted it. As for the purpose, it is not clear."
"Is no one wondering why the npc knows what happened in reality? Could it be related to the escape game?"
Xia Yi watched the barrage in the live broadcast room for a while, and felt a little unbelievable in his heart. He pondered for a long time before turning his head and whispering to Li Bai, "Who are you trying to save?"
Li Bai picked up the glasses on the table, and blew the fly ash on the lenses, his lips were drawn into a thin line, his face looked very ruthless from the side.
"The last person alive," Xia Yihui fixed his eyes on Li Bai, and an unbelievable thought rose in his heart. He swallowed, and asked Chi Chi, "Could it be me?"
