Chapter 152: Conspiracy
"Disaster,"
Alphonse seemed to be caught in a memory, he lowered his head, and said faintly: "The people on the ground, can't they remember the truth of this matter anymore...
Hehe, it's normal, too. After all, even I can't remember how long it has been, twenty years, or thirty years..."
Without waiting for the player to speak, Alphonse took a deep breath, looked up and said, "Where to start...
I am Alphonse Anderson, a billionaire, one of the most prominent biochemists of the 21st century, a philanthropist, and the owner of a balance company.
When I took my father's place, Tianping was just a nameless juice factory in Boston, and in the second millennium, Tianping had grown into a monopoly that provided chemical bliss to mankind around the world. ”
Speaking of these things, Alphonse's tone became vivid, and he glanced at the silent player in the tight protective suit, and sighed faintly,
"You may have forgotten the name of the company, but at the time, Tianping was a symbol of wealth and a symbol of hope.
Tianping Company relied on functional drinks to make a fortune, and countless people regarded my talent in the field of biochemistry as the reason for my success.
But they don't know that in fact, my biochemistry talent can only be regarded as outstanding, not top-notch.
I owe most of my many achievements to the 'master'. ”
The stonemason frowned and said, "Master? ”
"Biological masters, to be exact."
Alphonse said sullenly: "After my father died, I was depressed for a long time. At the suggestion of a friend, I went on a tour of the Keweno Peninsula in northern Michigan.
In a faulted shale layer in the field, a plate similar to a computer motherboard composed of chitin, hair, and nails was excavated.
I took it back to Boston, and in the process of preparing to take it to the university lab for testing, I accidentally scratched my finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the master...."
Alphonse Anderson paused, as if caught up in some bad memory,
"In my gaze, it absorbs the blood like a sponge and quickly transforms it into some kind of powder.
I took the powder for testing and found that its composition, similar to methyl benzopridine acetate, is a psychiatric drug that modulates dopamine.
After continuous experimentation, I found that as long as the master is exposed to organic matter such as dead skin cells, hair, chitin, enamel, etc.,
It absorbs it and converts it into random compounds.
Some of these compounds are known to humans, while others have never been discovered...."
Alphonse Anderson smiled miserably, "At that time, the business situation of Tianping Company was not good, and the company was about to go bankrupt.
I used the gift of the biomaster to pretend that I had invented a new compound and introduced the compound to the energy drink.
The new type of functional drink has been greatly welcomed, and the company has come back to life, and I, who have been worried about being discovered by others, has gradually become bolder.
Spending money to set up a secret laboratory to continuously explore the function of biological masters.
In the past ten years, using biological masters, I have 'invented' harmless cigarettes, high-efficiency and pollution-free pesticides, new biological fertilizers, chemical patches.... Accumulated a lot of wealth.
I invest in charity, fight hunger, ignorance, disease,
People frantically admired and respected me, hailed me as the most eminent scholar, the most conscientious businessman..."
Li Angyi raised his eyebrows, it seems that the experience of Mr. Alvons Anderson in the first half of his life is very similar to the online article of the academic bully.
"The Biochemical System of the Student", "I Just Want to Be a Quiet Boston Student", "The Boston Scholar Reborn"
"But, hehe, a perfect story, once the 'but' is added once, symbolizes tragedy."
Alphonse Anderson smiled miserably, "All the gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price.
In November of the second millennium, the autopsy report of an employee of Tianping Company who died suddenly from overwork came to my attention.
In his brain, there is a very small amount of DNA that is structurally abnormal, similar to that caused by prions. ”
Prions were discovered in the fifties by American biochemist Stanley Prusina in the cannibal Frey tribe of Papua New Guinea.
It's called a virus, but it's not a virus, it doesn't have DNA or RNA.
Strictly speaking, it's not even a living thing, it's just some structurally abnormal protein that doesn't contain nucleic acids.
It does not replicate itself, but by polymerizing with normal proteins, it is transformed into the same protein as prions, which accumulates in the central nervous cells of the human body, and eventually damages the brain, making the brain hollow and spongy.
Alphonse continued: "Because prions usually accumulate in the central nervous system, and the most common mode of transmission is brain-eating, it is difficult to spread on a large scale except for cannibalism.
I checked the employee's residence records and found that he had a cannibalistic experience.
I was a little uneasy, and I immediately arranged a company-wide physical examination, and found that all employees, including me, had a small amount of structurally abnormal proteins in their bodies.
I was so frightened that I immediately collected samples all over the world and found that humans all over the world were 'infected' by this structurally abnormal protein. ”
The Knight of Dusk couldn't help but speak, "How is this possible? ”
"yes, how is that possible? Every time I use a compound from a biomaster, I take great care to double-check it to make sure it's harmless.
After careful searching, I found that this kind of structurally abnormal protein comes from a kind of biological fertilizer produced by our Tianping company in the early nineties of the last century.
This new fertilizer, which is produced and sold around the world because it is efficient, environmentally friendly and cheap, will contaminate the forage, and when cattle and sheep eat it, a very small amount of protein in the body will fold wrongly, producing structurally abnormal proteins similar to prions.
This new type of structurally abnormal protein is scarce in number and has no 'species barrier' and can be passed from beef and mutton to humans.
Due to the scarcity of the anomalous protein, the long incubation period, and the seemingly harmless nature, it has not been discovered by the public for more than ten years.
By the time I noticed it, at least 40% of the world's population was infected by it. ”
"Wait a minute," Leon interrupted, "What do you mean by 'seemingly harmless'?" ”
Alphonse Anderson said: "The new type of structurally abnormal protein, which is very similar to a normal protein in the human body, does not cause an attack by the immune system, and it does look harmless.
It's just that at an extremely slow rate, it replicates the same kind of protein in the human body - at the rate at which it accumulates, it will take at least two or three hundred years to attack the central nervous system of the human body.
But, as I suspected, the biomaster was deceiving me from the beginning,
It's all a master's conspiracy. ”
