After World War II, the Americans occupied Japan, and Japan soon entered into reconstruction, and after the Korean War, the recovery of all industries accelerated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, many Americans began to like to travel to Japan, and Frank was one of them, he was in his eighties, but he was used to traveling around Japan alone. One day, on a trip to Nagano Prefecture, he suffered a heart attack, and the locals took him to the hospital, where a doctor named Tadashi Ito examined him.

Looking at Dr. Ito's expression, Frank guessed seven or eight points, "Doctor, am I hopeless?" ”

Tadashi Ito, who speaks English, "Frank, I must tell you the truth, you have a blood bag on an artery in your heart, and there is a danger of rupture at any time, and if it ruptures, you will die." ”

"Is there any other way to do that?" Frank asked, but Tadashi Ito didn't speak.

"Well, doctor, do you believe in retribution?" Tadashi Ito smiled and shook his head, "I'm not a cultist. ”

"I believe it, maybe you can't guess what I'm doing, I'll tell you a secret, I'm an executioner, and I've killed countless people in my life." Frank asked Dr. Ito to help him sit up from the bed, "There's a secret that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and my time is short, so let's tell it." ”

Tadashi Ito sat down on a stool and listened quietly to Frank's account:

The story begins in Spain in the 16th century, the father of modern anatomy, Vesalius, who offended the church by studying the structure of the human body like Copernicus's heliocentric theory, Vesalius was the royal physician of the king of Spain, and was sentenced to worship in Jerusalem, and ran aground in the Mediterranean Sea on the way home from the Holy City in 1564.

A Scottish boy named O'Hara was beside Vesalius when he fell overboard, and the young man saved Vesalius with an empty wine barrel, but the old Vesalius was exhausted and gave O'Hara the sheepskin diary in his arms before dying.

O'Hara took the parchment and survived being washed ashore by the tide, he returned to Spain, learned that Vesalius was a famous scientist, so he reported Vesalius's death to the king, and he received a number of rewards, with which O'Hara returned to his native Scotland to marry and have children, and the parchment diary was passed down from generation to generation.

In December 1620, the Mayflower sailed to the United States to establish a British colony in North America, and then the people of England began to venture into North America, and O'Hara's grandson moved his family to Virginia.

One of his descendants is named William? Douglas opened a church school, Jefferson, one of the founding heroes of the United States, studied in this church school, after the founding of the country, Jefferson invested a sky-high price to preside over the construction of the Library of Congress, and William Sr. dedicated the heirloom Vesalius diary to the Library of Congress.

The Library of Congress, a medical book, was not in the collection, but was housed by the National Library of Medicine and Agronomy, and due to Jefferson's affiliation and Vesalius's fame, Vesalius' parchment diary was eventually collected by the Library of Congress. Since most people in related specialties went to medical libraries to consult materials, Vesalius's diary was left unattended at the Library of Congress.

A fire in 1851 burned the Library of Congress to the ground, and Vesalius' parchment diary was lost in the fire.

"What a pity." Tadashi Ito regretted it, and Frank took a breath and continued:

At the end of the nineteenth century, I don't know that year onwards, a diary of Vesalius, the father of anatomy, circulated among American doctors, and the original text is no longer verifiable, the main meaning is that when Wiesal dissected a corpse, he found that the human soul weighed an ounce.

Most people laughed at it as a joke, but Southwick, a dentist in New York, was so intrigued by the legend that he decided to prove it through experiments. He turned his attention to the Department of Justice.

After the Civil War, Americans began to use shooting to solve the death row prisoners, every bullet headshot, blood all over the ground, very cruel, the judicial community sought a more humane way to execute death row prisoners.

Southwick once saw a drunk man climb onto a high-voltage transformer on the side of the road while walking, and after a tremble, the drunk died without moving, and he thought it was a civilized way of executing death row prisoners.

Because of his professional relationship, Southwick was good friends with the then attorney general, the governor of New York, and members of the state legislature, and when he told the senior officials about the idea, everyone supported him.

However, Southwick also put some small personal goods in it, asking the attorney general to agree to install a sensitive mechanical scale under the electric chair so that he could record the weight changes of death row inmates for research.

Soon, the governor of New York introduced the electrocution bill, and the state legislature, with Southwick's back, successfully passed the bill, and the Justice Department arranged for the prison to enforce it.

At that time, Edison had gone from a small newsboy on a train to a big inventor and a big capitalist, firmly controlling the American electrical industry. One of his genius researchers, Tesla, invented alternating current, and Tesla and Edison had a dispute over the issue of promoting direct current or alternating current.

Edison learned of the electrocution and lobbied the Justice Department to use alternating current electrocution, preparing to exaggerate in the newspapers and publicize how cruel alternating current was in order to suppress Tesla.

Tesla was also alarmed, he controlled all channels of the alternator and refused to sell it to the Ministry of Justice. Edison secretly got an alternator from the black market and sent it to the Ministry of Justice, and in order to record the tragic condition of the prisoner, he quietly installed a bypass capillary electrometer on the generator to intercept the prisoner's electrocardiogram.

"I didn't expect the great inventor Edison to have such a disgraceful side." Tadashi Ito sighed.

"He has many dark legends, otherwise how could he have made a fortune in the nineteenth century?" Frank took a sip of water and began to speak of himself:

At six o'clock in the morning on August 6, 1890, William Lee, the first death row inmate in American history, was electrocuted. Clem was pressed into the electric chair, unaware that two malevolent men had already manipulated his electric chair.

The warden gave an order, Frank started the generator sent by Edison, Clem trembled for a while, but he was not dead, the warden had to order to increase the voltage, Frank slowly pushed the electric switch up, and then Clem couldn't resist, lying motionless in the electric chair.

From then on, Southwick and Edison began to secretly record their data in the electric chair, and the warden discovered their tricks and ordered the equipment to be dismantled and confiscated.

Edison had to think of other ways to fix Tesla, Southwick was slightly luckier, with his relationship with the Minister of Justice, the warden agreed that he would go to prison to copy the data, and could not take it away, the warden was very angry with the Minister of Justice, but he dared not speak out, he decided to play with Southwick, he lowered all the data on the scale by one ounce.

Southwick copied the data as if he had found a treasure, and wrote an essay "On the Weight of the Human Soul". He did not dare to reveal the source of the data in his papers, so the regular scientific journals were reluctant to publish his papers, and only a few tabloids published his papers as the subject of curiosity, and Southwick had no choice but to sullen.

After Frank began to use alternating current high-voltage electricity to execute prisoners, he found some strange phenomena, one day when a prisoner with epilepsy was executing, he suddenly fell ill, the warden was impatient, and asked Frank to hurry up and turn on the electricity, the electricity was on, the strange thing is that the prisoner was not dead, but he was sick and returned to normal, Frank saw Edison's capillary electrostat on the side beating continuously and steadily, and the warden was on fire, so he had to repeat the old trick and increase the voltage continuously, and finally the prisoner died.

Another time, a female prisoner had just been electrified, and she was not dead, but actually sang, and Frank saw that the mercury on the electrostatic meter was also beating up and down like the female prisoner's pitch, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything, but the result was still the same as before, the warden waved his hand, and the prisoner was tortured again and finally electrocuted.

In this way, strange things kept appearing, it seemed that under the stimulation of high voltage, there was some mysterious bioelectric phenomenon inside the human body, which Frank did not understand, and did not dare to report it to the warden, so he went back and secretly recorded it. Later, the warden demanded that the data be destroyed, and Edison refused to pay, so Frank buried the secret in his heart.

Dr. Ito will be skeptical, and all he can do for a dying man is to patiently listen to Frank finish his story. Frank looked at his hands, and suddenly twitched and stopped moving.

A few years later, Tadashi Ito's son, Tadamichi Ito, was admitted to university, and his son inherited his father's career and also studied medicine.

One night, while the father and son were chatting, Tadashi Ito told the story of Frank to Tadadao Ito, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Tadado Ito had a whim: Aren't the sky and the earth just a giant capacitor? People must be in a charged state all the time in this huge electric field, maintaining an electrical balance, all biological characteristics are premised on electrical balance, once the human body is energized, the electrical balance is broken, the biological characteristics will change, and all kinds of strange phenomena can be explained when electrocuted.

Ito Tadamichi plunged into the laboratory like a demon, he repeated experiments, developed a high-potential therapeutic instrument, is the use of thousands of volts of high-voltage static electricity, in the human body around the generation of a certain frequency of electrostatic field, improve human biological physique, improve the body's immunity, Ito Tadao in the experimental process, found that the electric field frequency set at 32K hertz when the effect is the best, at this time the blood gam-globulin activity is the strongest, now the medical community knows, to improve immunity, can play gam-globulin serum, with a high-potential therapy instrument, No more injections of serum protein.

While Ito Tadado was working day and night to prototype high-potential therapy devices, the Roosevelt Roads Naval Base in the Caribbean was also undergoing tremendous changes.
