Furthermore, if the experiment were to fail, the repercussions would extend far beyond a mere blow to their reputation.
Applying for grants from higher authorities and soliciting external investment would become significantly more difficult than before. After all, those who invest tens or hundreds of millions of yuan a year do not do so to see an failed experiment turn into a global laughingstock for the medical community. Once research funding tightened, the bonuses of every medical expert would shrink by hundreds of thousands, if not millions. That was real, hard-earned money, and a single failed experiment could wipe it all away.
Just moments ago, the medical experts behind Dean Jia had been stirred by Chen Xuan’s words, their blood running hot. But after Yang She’s reminder, many began to calm down. They had spent their careers in medical research, and they approached every decision with scientific and rational thinking. In the eyes of these scientists, the experiment Chen Xuan was about to undertake was destined to fail—a one-hundred-percent chance of failure, just as Yang She had said. Humans are inherently selfish, and they did not want to lose their reputations or their million-yuan bonuses for the sake of an outsider's experiment.
