Series intelligence two, virus samples, paranoids

In the surviving files, everyone has almost no good impression of this "bigot", and some work memos appear many times with words such as "that self-righteous paranoid" and "that megalomania", which shows that he is a very unlikable guy.

As for why everyone hated him so much, there is no record.

The paranoid man came from an old aristocratic family, named Saigo Shigekoku, but his own mind and consciousness are very enlightened, he has studied in Germany and the United States, and his experience, courage and mind are very good, although everyone hates him, but they unanimously recognize his ability, calling him a "ruthless character in both theoretical research and experimental practice".

The term "ruthless character" is quite intriguing to describe a biology and virology scholar, but from the fact that he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to find a virus sample, he is indeed a ruthless character.

Masao Yamamoto's mentor has repeatedly emphasized that this Saigo Shigekuni must have known the danger of the virus in advance, which is his speculation, but it is very convincing.

In addition to the chemical protective clothing he was wearing, which was already very advanced at the time, there was another counter-evidence.

This virus is very destructive to the human body, and at the end of life failure, the human body will dry up to about half of its original size, and the muscles and skin will be extremely atrophied, but by comparing the symptoms of several other deceased people in the ghost ship, his body is still relatively mild-he is the first person to come into contact with this virus and collect it.

Although he was seen as a paranoid, he was not a reckless man, he must have known very well what he was going to do, recognized the way the virus spread and how lethal it was, and he took the protective measures that were very complete at the time - but the virus was far more powerful than he had predicted and the protective equipment he was wearing at the time.

It is also worth mentioning that he had a huge disagreement with the head of research at the time, because in the military, the responsibilities of superiors and subordinates were very clear and strict. Some leading figures, if they are narrow-minded, find it difficult to accept the directional opinions put forward by their subordinates.

This can also be regarded as a circumstantial evidence of his "paranoid".

However, Mr. Saigo Shigekuni was indeed a visionary, and judging by the report he wrote to his superiors, he was the first researcher to propose to find a sample of the virus and explore the positive effects of this virus on human evolution.

In his report, he made it clear that if this virus can be interpreted and used by people, it will be of great significance to the future of mankind, and that human beings are likely to evolve into Nietzsche's so-called "superman", or even greater than his superman.

The head of the study at the time was a conservative, he was not a wicked man, and he was even called "an untimely Buddhist, whose mercy hurt him," because he was later taken away by a commissioner sent by the military department, and as a result, there was a car accident on the road, and he died on the spot.

Because his research direction at that time was "prevention", he believed that this virus far exceeded the level of people's understanding at that time, and should not make unnecessary attempts, saying that using this virus to benefit mankind is simply wishful thinking, which will only bring devastating disasters to mankind.

This virus should be sealed in Pandora's box forever. At first, he only secretly delayed and suppressed the progress of the research, but later, in view of the repeated initiatives of Saigo Shigekoku, he began to openly express his conservative and compassionate opinions.

He even said indignantly: Since no pathogen has been found, why bother to find it? This is God's arrangement, and it is also the best arrangement, we are scientists, not executioners, and this virus will only make those militarists more crazy and more dehumanized.

It seems that the person in charge is not only a scientist, but also has a very keen political sense.

However, not long after this remark, he was in a car accident.

The top brass of the Japanese army had intended to make Saigo Shigekuni the head of that research unit, but after several contacts, they found that this guy was more difficult to get along with, and since they could not be entrusted with important tasks, they could only use him.

The military simply sent a military commander to serve as the director of the institute.

This director is a sleek guy who blindly coaxes Saigo Shigekuni to meet his various requirements as much as possible.

It is unknown how this happened, but the paranoid Saigo disappeared and appeared on the ghost ship thirteen days later.

Saigo's disappearance angered the military leadership, and it is said that the flattering superintendent was shot in the leg by his commander on the spot, because not only did he disappear, but some of his secret research materials were also taken away.

Because his opinion was not taken by the original person in charge, he began to study his own secrets, and his assistant said that he would write down some things in a thick notebook, but talk about what he recorded from different people.

After Saigo Shigekoku's body was found, the thick workbook was never found again, and it disappeared completely.

Because it is suspected that it records the method and path to find the virus sample, it is very irritating and sad about its loss.

The information of the discoverer of the virus sample, the paranoid Saigo Shigekuni, is roughly like this.

As for the virus sample, when it was first brought back by Saigo Shigekoku, it was in a sealed glass bottle, and the whole glass bottle was the size of a fist, and the total amount of the virus sample was the size of an egg yolk.

Of course, the virus is not yellow, but black, emitting a faint green light when exposed to light.

They clumped together, like a tiny hedgehog — if you've ever tried to be in the sand and use a magnet to absorb the aggregate filings — it looks like a small mass of iron filings pulled by a magnet.

Although the real virus is not attracted by magnets, it is turning clockwise all the time, a small mass of "iron filings", just forever - the teacher said that the virus has been in the bottle for more than ten years, but it is still very active.

"It's a bit unreasonable, even if it's a virus, it needs nutrients, right?"

Looking at Masao Yamamoto, who looked suspicious, the mentor was happy: "Yes, but this is a mysterious virus that has killed dozens of high-level experts through thick glass, a life that is incomprehensible with our current human knowledge." ”

Later, of course, Masao Yamamoto was allowed to see the virus, but that was after the death of his mentor.

I beg your pardon for calling him Mentor, his number is C0N009, and his name does not appear in all the fragments of Masao Yamamoto's memories until his death.
