Chapter 565 - 565 Dangerous Virus

There is a saying that thunder in the silence is the magic, and the magic is seen in the plain. Many of the things that had a big impact were always unnoticed at first, such as a group of farmers who were forced to work in the cities of Britain in the 17th century because of the enclosure movement, or a group of young people who were plotting to form a party in a painting boat floating on the South Lake in 1921. In Japan in the early 90s, the Japanese were still immersed in the sense of accomplishment of their economic and living standards having improved dramatically, and although the top politicians began to worry about the change of power in East Asia, ordinary people lived happily. No one knew that a terrible monster lurked in this peaceful and quiet atmosphere, seeking an opportunity to destroy.

After Shoko Asahara returned from Africa with Herberts, he was very low-key for a while, but the development of Aum Shinrikyo in Japan did not stop without interruption, and Aum Shinrikyo's cadres and minions began to expand their influence in various parts of Japan. At first, Aum Shinrikyo recruited followers relatively randomly, but later, due to their familiarity with the business, the Shinrikyo cadres who were fighting on the front line gradually figured out which kind of people were easier to absorb.

Those who often don't have much ability, achieve nothing, and consciously have no talents, and are buried by society, have a certain ambition but do not have the ability to match ambition; Then there are those rural women who are relatively uneducated, and some housewives who are usually insolent; young people who have not found a job after graduating from various universities and junior colleges; There are even some Yakuza whose organizations are not very large and not strong enough.

Naturally, for the sake of the development of Aum Shinrikyo, it is also very necessary for some people with relatively high status to join the religion, although it is more difficult, but Aum Shinrikyo also pays great attention to absorbing similar rich businessmen and political figures, although most of these people are relatively difficult to develop, but the development of one is often comparable to the role of dozens or hundreds of sect members.

Shoko Asahara made his Aum Shinrikyo like a big pyramid scheme, constantly collecting finances from ordinary members, and through a few more business-minded religious cadres, he set up several industries, and Aum Shinrikyo also had more and more resources and more abundant financial resources.

With these assets, Shoko Asahara set up a very high-end virus laboratory for Herberts, where he conducted research on the Ebola virus, hoping to obtain a vaccine against the Ebola virus, so that the virus with a fatality rate of up to 90% could be turned into his biological weapon.

Wearing a thick protective suit, Shoko Asahara didn't care about promoting his all-powerful divine power from the Ebola virus, but instead looked cautious, standing outside the thickened glass of the isolated laboratory, he used the walkie-talkie to say to Herberts, who was undergoing a vaccine trial inside: "Vice President, are you sure that this test will be successful?" ”

Herberts had tested his vaccine six times before, and even once because of insufficient protective measures, the biology graduate students who helped in the laboratory were infected with the virus and died, and the tenacious Ebola virus was like a monster that was difficult to conquer, making people helpless.

Of course, all the experiments Herberts did were to cover up, and the Ebola virus samples he brought actually had a vaccine that could be dealt with, and this vaccine was developed by China's Black Science and Technology Research Center.

It's just that Asahara, a god who doesn't understand anything and doesn't need scientific knowledge, knows the power of the Ebola virus, but still doesn't understand how difficult it is to develop a vaccine against the Ebola virus. On the other hand, the outbreak of the Ebola virus crisis in West Africa in 2014 caused panic around the world, and even though countries such as China, the United States, Europe and other countries have made great efforts to control the epidemic and develop effective vaccines to save lives, it is still difficult to control the epidemic, which shows how difficult it is to defeat the Ebola virus.

Any expert with medical and biological insight will roll in laughter when he sees an obscure scientist working on an Ebola vaccine with some assistant at the level of washing flasks at best, because it is unlikely that anything will come of it. It's just that Shoko Asahara, who doesn't know, also thinks that Herberts is a pretty powerful guy and should be fruitful.

Herberts's work came from the Black Science and Technology Center, which was able to successfully develop a vaccine against the Ebola virus due to the Red Alert Base's huge database of biological and chemical weapons, and it was the Red Alert Base that provided some important information that did not exist in another dimension, and the Black Technology Center was able to develop a vaccine.

And sometimes when engaging in scientific research is like this, when there are no ideas and methods, they run around like headless flies, and there is no way; With a little correct guidance, scientists with sufficient skills will be able to complete the entire result according to the map.

Herberts stopped the test tube in his hand and said to Akira Asahara, "Please rest assured, this time I am completely sure that I will succeed, and your plan can finally be realized, Lord Sect Master." ”

Shoko Asahara, who heard this, couldn't help but tremble with excitement, and he looked at the laboratory on the other side of the glass, and his heart was surging, as if it was the basis for his development.

"Vice President, if the vaccine development can be successful, I will remember a great credit for you, and the great situation of our Shinrikyo in the future will be created by you and me together, and your credit will be remembered by all Aum Shinrikyo followers, and your name will never be diluted in the history we have created!" Asahara's Akira opened his mouth and said some gibberish words, already a little incoherent, because he seemed to see success beckoning to him.

The true master of the future Japanese archipelago, a god-like figure who controls the life and death of hundreds of millions of people and is worshipped by hundreds of millions of people, Asahara does not think about whether his uprising can be accepted by the rest of the world, and he also feels that his plan will definitely succeed, just like a hard worker who earns 80 yuan a day by moving bricks, and immediately thinks that he can quickly become a billionaire.

Asahara couldn't contain the excitement in his heart at this moment, he said goodbye to Herberts, and then hurriedly returned to his luxurious "Sect Master's Palace", where he gathered several important Aum Shinrikyo cadres to discuss how to use the Ebola virus to achieve the best results.

From the beginning, the Aum Shinrikyo people had a slight idea of what they were doing with the Ebola virus, but the idea was still very primitive and rudimentary, and there was no specific mode of operation. Like many cults, an important part of the existence and development of Aum Shinrikyo is the proclamation of doomsdayism, and people often fall into this trap out of fear of the end of the world, cherishing life, and ignorance of the cult.

However, most cults are not crazy enough to really launch an apocalyptic preach to confirm themselves, and many cult leaders often pick out a day to say that this is the end of the world, and what celestial phenomena such as the Seven Stars Alignment and the Heavenly Dog Swallowing the Sun are the most popular, and they have become the most classic time for the end of the world. Obviously, these cult gods don't have the ability to really make these days come to an end, so most of them flickered for a while and then broke up, or found some other excuse, claiming that the sect leader used divine power to avoid disasters for the cultists, and so on.

On the one hand, Shoko Asahara wants to use the virus to achieve some of his own goals, such as deterring the government, diverting attention, and showing strength; On the other hand, Asahara really wanted to use an apocalypse to change the fixed social structure of the entire Japanese society and even the world, and when the world as people knew it changed, this was the beginning of the emergence and seizure of power by Aum Shinrikyo.

In fact, this routine is a typical feature of the apocalyptic flow of online novels, the inherent social model has been familiar to people, when all the rules are broken, the living environment collapses sharply, the survival of the fittest and the ugliness of human nature, which makes people extremely interested at the same time.

It can be said that Shoko Asahara just wants to portray himself as the hero of the doomsday stream, and the golden finger he wants to open is the existence of Aum Shinrikyo and the vaccine against the Ebola virus.

At the meeting, Katsu Takahashi, one of the three pillars of Aum Shinrikyo, also suggested to the head of the sect, Akira Asahara: "The main mode of transmission of the Ebola virus is mainly bodily fluid transmission and contact transmission, although this is also an effective way of transmission, but after all, it is not as rapid as the air transmission, so if we want to let the Ebola virus break out on a large scale in Japan, we must set up as many sources of infection as possible and spread the virus as widely as possible in different prefectures and cities." Only in this way can we make the authorities tired and ignite greater panic, thus creating a situation that is more favorable to us. ”

Shoko Asahara, who was very satisfied with Katsuya Takahashi's suggestion, nodded and said: "This is very good, if a person gets sick, he will infect his family, lovers, and people who have contact with him at work, and then the person who is infected for the second time will infect his own family, and the virus will form a huge transmission network covering the whole of Japan." His little eyes shone with a blazing light, revealing absolute madness.

Naoko Kikuchi, another official of the bureaucracy, also said, "We may consider using the customs industry to spread the virus, because Japan is full of Kabukicho and there are a large number of people in and out of it, and if the Kabuki inside is infected with the virus, it will easily spread to customers, and then customers from all over the world and all walks of life can spread it to more people." ”

The eyes of the attendees were all bright, thinking that this was a very good way, and Shoko Asahara clapped his head: "Okay, then we need to cultivate a batch of infection sources, and then enter Kabukicho in various places, and use the customs industry to spread our virus!" ”
