137. Is science moral?

The ideas and proposals put forward by Masao Yamamoto had an irresistible allure to the Japanese military department, which was already controlled by ultra-rightist militarist careerists at that time.

However, they also have a rule that all those who leave that base and project can only be dead.

In the end, they subjected Masao Yamamoto to an extremely harsh political trial, and he passed.

This, in addition to his withdrawn, dull personality and fanaticism for academics, also helped him a lot with his Red Moon Blade.

Since the abolition of the Sword Order, the samurai class has died out in the suppression of samurai riots, but the spirit of bushido has been transformed into absolute loyalty to the emperor and fanatical militaristic fervor.

In his political review report, it was noted that Masao Yamamoto was often immersed in the visualization of the ancestral relic (the blade of the red moon) and exuded a samurai-like cold look, and he was a rare right-wing scientist.

In this way, Masao Yamamoto became an associate professor at Tokyo Imperial University, under the pseudonym Jiro Ito, and accompanied by a military commissioner, began his study journey in Europe and the United States and other countries.

Of course, the military commissioner was his assistant and entourage, and he was also very respectful to Yamamoto, and he took care of his daily life.

Occasionally, however, Masao Yamamoto expressed some embarrassment - he was no longer so innocent at this point, and he thought that the entourage must have received another secret order: if he showed the slightest suspicion, he would resolutely erase himself.

Masao Yamamoto's study tour lasted two years and eight months, which was not long compared with the previous application, but during this period, Masao Yamamoto also made remarkable achievements, and continuously transmitted back to China the advanced information on biology, chemistry, viruses and bacteria that he learned in the West.

Although the research on the virus project was delayed, because of the information sent back by Masao Yamamoto, the group of people in the secret base had achieved several proud results in the research of bacteriological weapons.

So during this time, he also underwent some rigorous espionage training, practicing the use of several different identities.

Masao Yamamoto purchased a total of two kinds of equipment, one is a glove-type isolation operation box, making two round holes in a closed glass box, and two plastic gloves are sealed and inlaid on the round holes into the box, and the box becomes a completely isolated confined space.

When working, you only need to dig your hands into the gloves to manipulate the equipment and virus samples prepared in the box. This kind of isolation box only needs to put the virus sample in one time, and there is no need for exposure operation in the later stage, which greatly reduces the possibility of virus transmission.

Another principle is the same, it is also an isolated box-type operation table, and the more advanced place is that the equipment and instruments in the box are specially made, and various instruments and equipment are operated by metal arms when working. As a result, several additional layers of walls can be added to the outside of the box, and researchers can simply manipulate those metal rocker arms to complete the experiment.

The second type of equipment is more safe and reliable, but it is expensive to build, and the metal arm is equipped with fewer types of special instruments and equipment, which is not conducive to expanding the scope of research to a certain extent.

Returning with a lot of advanced knowledge and equipment, Masao Yamamoto soon became one of the core members of the secret base, and was exposed to more appalling experiments.

As early as after the assassination of the first head of the Buddhist lineage, it didn't take long for them to begin experiments on living people. Some death row prisoners and homeless people who had no relatives and no reason were secretly taken to the experimental base and became the objects of the experiment.

After five researchers died of infection after attempting to take samples of the virus for live experiments, the samples became taboo.

The person in charge of the military was naturally not reconciled, and in desperation, the researchers had to try to extract some body tissues from infected people and transplant them to live experimental subjects, the success rate of this method was very low, and only one experimental subject would be infected for every 100 experiments.

It's ridiculous how this virus spreads. Masao Yamamoto thought about it, and then fell into a deep whirlpool of morality and ethics, and for almost two months he could not think and work normally, and it was extremely wrong to use a virus that was still unknown and would cause a breakthrough in human genes for live experiments, no matter from which point of view.

He even regretted bringing the equipment back, unknowingly becoming an accomplice.

Masao Yamamoto's retreat had little impact on the progress of the entire project, and the military had already gathered a large number of scientific researchers who had no morals or ethics to speak of, as long as they gave them those advanced equipment, and they could continue to engage in live experiments.

During this period, Masao Yamamoto seemed extremely anxious and contradictory, but his anxiety and contradictions were mainly due to his own torture, which did not cause a dispute between him and the head of the military, and was more manifested as a kind of passive sabotage.

For Masao Yamamoto's negativity, the military's performance was also unexpectedly tolerant, at first they adopted a laissez-faire strategy, allowing Masao Yamamoto to immerse himself in self-doubt and negative emotions, and after a period of relief, they began to "feed" him some case samples and research reports with strange symptoms.

When the time came, they sent a few more old military doctors to guide him-

Well, Yamamoto-kun, you shouldn't be so negative at a young age, we are old and don't have the strength and energy to argue about anything, you can't give up.

Yes, speaking of which, we really can't see those people's experiments, but we can't let them do it like this.

Those guys always say that pure science has no morality and ethics at all, and there is some truth in words, but in some methods and processes, we should also pay attention to it.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of the ethics of the scientists themselves, not science itself.

Well, it makes sense, and there are also some people in the military department who also have a constructive attitude towards this mysterious virus, and they want to study it and crack it from the perspective of what is beneficial to humanity.

That's the case, and besides, Yamamoto-kun and your previous mentor don't think so? It would be nice if we could tame this virus, give full play to its beneficial side to mankind, strengthen our bodies, and improve our intelligence, not only for the Yamato nation, but also for the entire human race, which is a great innovation. Yamamoto-kun, this is about to usher in another evolution of humanity.

Haha, yes, yes, what Mr. said, we are all a little fluttering, if that's the case, what should we be?

It's a great god like Izanagi, Izanami, right? Hahahaha.
