Chapter 715: Mad Scientist
Emily's father was a professor of geology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and he had been working with the U.S. military for a long time, but no one believed in his research, thinking that he was whimsical, and in the end, even the U.S. military stopped funding it, thinking that his research was a waste of military spending.
Shortly after the end of the Cold War, the U.S. military shut down research programs.
A few years later, Emily's father died in a laboratory accident.
At the time, she was only eight years old.
While no one believed in Stockton, or Emily's father's research, Emily believed, and had good reason to believe, that Stockton had hidden some of the research materials before his death, and that all of them had since fallen into Emily's hands.
In addition, Emily received her Ph.D. in geology and life sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Interestingly, after graduating, Emily was contracted by Alamos Lab and became a full-fledged scientist at the institution.
Obviously, the U.S. military has not actually given up research in this field, but it is more secretive.
Of course, this also has to do with the general environment.
What do you mean?
After the end of the Cold War, many secret military research projects that were supported during the Cold War were discontinued because they were too expensive.
After all, the US authorities want to give the taxpayer a reasonable explanation.
Because research funding is not justified, many projects are transferred to intelligence agencies, which are funded by intelligence agencies such as the CIA.
In fact, many of Alamos Lab's projects are funded by the CIA and NSA.
However, Emily only worked at Alamos Labs for 8 years before quitting to work in deep-sea exploration at an oil company.
It was at this time that Emily won her first pot of gold.
There is enough reason to believe that she also had dealings with drug dealers in Mexico at this time, and it is very likely that she has her eyes on Bissos.
Why?
At the time, Emily was operating in the Gulf of Mexico, helping oil companies exploit offshore oil fields, and the Gulf of Mexico was one of the main conduits for drug trafficking, at least at the time, so it is likely that Emily completed her first capital accumulation through drug trafficking.
The question is, how does Emily control these drug dealers in Bissos?
Could it be that she had already obtained what she wanted before leaving the Alamos lab, and not only discovered it after going to Angola?
If so, then didn't the US military discover that mysterious substance a long time ago?
Also, has it been widely used?
In the information declassified by Nicholas, there is no mention of related matters, but it is mentioned that the discovery in Angola is a huge breakthrough.
Why?
The pit was so shallow that the mysterious substance was found less than 3 kilometers above the surface, and all previous discoveries were more than 10 kilometers above the surface.
That's why Emily rushed over.
The point is, it is difficult for that kind of material to exist in such a shallow crust, and it has to be in the deep crust, or even in the mantle, to have a suitable environment, such as a high enough temperature and a large enough pressure to keep it in a molten state, not to condense into a solid.
As for the combination with human beings and other living forms, it is obviously outside the scope of research.
Of course, to be precise, no one had made a similar attempt before Emily.
In addition, Nicholas found a piece of information.
Emily's departure from the Alamos lab is actually related to the intelligence agency called CD, and this intelligence agency is likely not directly related to the US federal authorities, but is a joint intelligence agency established by the CIA, NSA and other intelligence agencies in order to respond to new needs.
In fact, this also explains why Emily wants to control drug lords such as Bissos.
Although some funding can be obtained through the CIA and NSA, compared to the huge research and development costs, this source is not much at all, so it is necessary to obtain funds through other channels, and to support and control drug lords, through drug trafficking is an effective means of obtaining funds.
Of course, this also explains why a high-tech company was set up in Las Vegas to specialize in the development of medicines.
Through this company, Emily was able to legally buy the necessary equipment and materials to conduct the experiments, and avoid U.S. regulators.
Most importantly of Nicholas's discovery, Emily is likely to have fallen out with CED.
Why?
When she went to Angola, it was actually Emily's own actions, and she only brought mercenaries from South Africa and a small number of mercenaries hired in the United States, not American special forces, and the US military then sent an aircraft carrier battle group over, most likely to deal with her, not the "Angu" company.
In other words, even if Wang Dong and the others did not go to Angola, Emily would have withdrawn after the arrival of the US troops.
It is known that Emily obtained funds through drug dealers such as Bissos, built her own armed forces, and searched the world for that mysterious substance.
In fact, this is also the key to Wang Dong and their arrival in the United States, and after making a big fuss in Las Vegas, Emily left the United States with the personnel.
If she was still working with CED, there was no need to flee to Canada.
Where is she going next?
Also, how many Smith-like reinforcement fighters does she have?
What's more, she has made so many fames, what does she want to do?
Is it just for research?
Obviously, if it was just for research, there was no reason for her to leave Alamos Labs, let alone fall out with CED.
Want to start your own independent kingdom?
No kidding.
What era is this, and there is still an independent kingdom.
Not to mention her, Wang Dong owns the D&F company and the "Angu" company, and has tens of thousands of subordinates, all of whom have never thought of building their own independent kingdom.
Make hay?
More unlikely.
By controlling drug lords like Bissos, she has made enough money, and at this level, money is often just a number.
No matter how he thinks, Wang Dong can't figure it out.
What does a woman, even a genius-level scientist, want?
Of course, Wang Dong couldn't figure it out, but the others were different.
In this regard, Zhao Yu gave his own analysis.
Emily is a scientist, so she must be pursuing scientific achievements, so it is likely that her goal is to fulfill her father's legacy.
What the?
Find out what is going on inside the ball, whether the Earth is a huge life organism or not.
Because such research was too risky to get support from federal agencies, Emily left Alamos in anger.
In addition, whether it is to obtain money or build a team, it is actually in the service of research.
