Chapter 16: Improving NZT-48 (Part I)

In the plane of "Neverending", under the leadership of Verno, Wei Ran got the nzT-48 that Verno had hidden in addition, which was a lot of it, about five times the amount that Wei Ran found in Fono's kitchen. In Wei Ran's strange expression, Funo told the truth.

It turned out that Forno had to borrow 300,000 yuan from the three Jigers because of an accident, but he was unable to repay it. And Verno happened to work in the laboratory where the production of nzT-48 was researched, so the idea of nzT-48 was raised. He stole some of the nzT-48 from the lab without doing anything.

"After stealing the nzT-48, I originally planned to sell it for a good price to pay off the debt, and you can't imagine how popular the nzT-48 was at the top of the list. But I don't dare to sell it in large quantities to the upper echelons of people who need nzT-48, these people will pay you when they need you, but when he has physical problems, it is when trouble comes, so he can only sell it piecemeal. That's it, a hundred dollars a pill, I sold about a few hundred, and just made a little money, the three bastards of Giger robbed me of most of my hard-earned money. Forno complained, and after getting acquainted with it, he found that Wei Ran was not as scary as he imagined, very approachable, and occasionally joked with them.

"You're stupid, you're selling nzT-48s that are even more 'high' than drugs, but you make less money than drug dealers in the state of Mexico, why don't you rely on nzT-48s to make money and just think about selling them for a little money?" Wei Ran laughed at Forno's rigidity.

"Boss, you probably don't know, nzT-48 has very big side effects." Forno hesitated for a moment, but still said: "People who use it too much will not end well, and in the end they will definitely end up with a disease, which will make your body very bad, and the vast majority of people who rely on it will die." My sister was the victim, and she couldn't even concentrate at the bare minimum right now, but thankfully, God forbid, I didn't lose her. ”

"A lot of people who use it a lot are dead?"

"No, I'm not saying all, but a lot."

"What is the approximate proportion?"

"Probably more than 90 percent." Verno was a little unconvinced.

Wei Ran took a sharp breath of cold air, he had already guessed as much as possible how big the side effects of nzT-48 were, but he didn't expect it to be far beyond the scope of his guess. It seems that he wants to use the time spent on nzT-48 to improve nzT-48 and reduce the amount of nzT-48 used.

The laboratory where Verno used to work was easy to find, but what Wei Ran didn't expect was that the nzT-48 had stopped production. Wei Ran only spent one million US dollars, and it was easy to buy the production technology materials of the nzT-48.

After paying the money, Wei Ran learned that the production of nzT-48 was stopped because of its side effects, and anyone who knew the side effects of nzT-48 was no longer willing to use it. It was the people inside the laboratory who sold Wei Ran's technical information, and there are three laboratories in New York City that produce and research nzT-48, which belong to the same owner.

The discontinuation of the nzT-48 directly affected the income of the personnel in the laboratory, and the arrival of Wei Ran gave them the opportunity to earn extra money.

Wei Ran was a little incredulous when he knew the result, but then he understood after listening to Verno's explanation. It turned out that the boss of these three laboratories was the original inventor of nzT-48, and now that nzT-48 has stabbed such a big basket, and the upper echelons of society who have taken nzT-48 have suffered heavy casualties, how can he still be happy.

After the nzT-48 basket was poked out, the unknown nzT-48 inventor disappeared completely, perhaps by a rich man or high-ranking official who was killed in retaliation, maybe he was arrested by the government, or he found out in time that something was wrong and ran away completely.

nzT-48 itself does not have a production license from the Food and Drug Administration, let alone a so-called patent, strictly speaking, nzT-48 is more harmful than drugs, it is like a key that can open Pandora's box. If you think about it, if there are many people on the earth who take nzT-48 and learn a profound knowledge in a few days, and then everyone starts to speculate, praying to make a fortune, or they are used by people with intentions to engage in all kinds of sabotage, such as using hacking technology to destroy the network environment and technological crimes, the world will not be completely chaotic.

The government will never grant patent protection for the invention of a new drug, let alone nzT-48, which is even more harmful than drugs.

And since the inventor of nzT-48 disappeared, the production technology of nzT-48 has been circulated, and secrecy is no longer so important, and it is a very good deal to hand it over to Wei Ran and earn a million US dollars, and there is no need to worry that someone will pursue their legal responsibility.

After listening to Verno's explanation, I wanted to say, "Is this okay?" ”

The nzT-48 technical data, which was thought to be difficult to obtain, turned out to be a breeze, and things went much smoother than expected.

It costs money to build a base in "Neverending", it costs money to find a laboratory to study nzT-48, and it still costs money to raise a group of younger brothers to help with things. Wei Ran took the jewelry, masonry, etc. he snatched from the plane of "Bank Robbery" to this plane to sell.

The base is not in a hurry, finding a laboratory to study nzT-48 is the most important.

To reduce the side effects of nzT-48, try to take as little nzT-48 as possible. Wei Ran changed the oral administration of nzT-48 to intravenous injection, which maximized the effective time of nzT-48.

It took Wei Ran two weeks to learn all the knowledge of biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, and other things in the "Neverending" plane that would help improve nzT-48. Wei Ran found that the biotechnology of this plane was more advanced than that of the main plane, and there was a huge flaw in his crossing.

Through comparison, the creatures in the "Neverending" plane are not 100% the same as those in the main plane, and in the process of learning, Wei Ran found several viruses and microorganisms that do not exist in the main plane, and in turn, the main plane also has viruses and microorganisms that do not exist in the "Endless" plane.

Wei Ran's every crossing has not been disinfected, and every crossing may also carry these viruses and microorganisms that can multiply wildly in an unfamiliar environment. This is a terrible thing, just like the flu, which is normal for Chinese, is a very deadly disease when it spreads to white Europeans. If Wei Ran traveled to the world of Resident Evil and accidentally brought the T virus to the main plane, the joke would be too big, and he regretted that he didn't have to take some of the medicines......

Every plane is a valuable asset, but if the alien plane is broken, you can find it again, and if the main plane suffers a disaster because of Wei Ran's negligence, it will really be gone.

In the blink of an eye, four months had passed, and the time spent in "Neverending" was longer than all the previous times Wei Ran had spent crossing the plane combined.

Wei Ran's dedication to improving nzT-48 has been in a state of madness, and if you pay, you will get something, with the help of the protagonist Eddie, the researchers who helped with it, and a large number of test subjects, Wei Ran finally got through the nzT-48 and made improvements to it.

The role of the nzT-48 is simple, it is not as magical as imagined, but its role is the finishing touch that makes something magical happen.

Human beings have about tens of billions of brain cells, each brain cell has about hundreds of cranial nerves, each nerve has about hundreds of synapses, each synapse has hundreds to thousands of proteins, a brain cell is about the same as a large computer, and a synapse is about the same as a chip of a computer. It can be easily deduced that the human brain is equivalent to hundreds of billions or trillions of chips.

People can record about 86 million pieces of information in their lives every day. It is estimated that 100 trillion pieces of information can be stored in a person's lifetime from memory.

The largest parallel computer in the United States, the white strategic acceleration computer (whiteascI) in the United States, has only 8,000 chips, which is about 100 million times different from the human brain, that is, 8 to 9 orders of magnitude.

If the brain is so powerful, why don't we feel it?

In fact, the brain is somehow cleverly divided into two parts: conscious and unconscious. The conscious part is only about 10%~20%; The unconscious part accounts for 80%~90%, and it is not used, which is what we often say "our brain only uses 10%".

To this day, most people still believe that only 10% of the human brain is developed, but this is just an absurd fallacy.

There are several reasons why the absurd claim of "10%" is not credible. The first is brain imaging exploration techniques, such as X-ray scans, magnetic resonance imaging and so on, which have clearly shown that most areas of the brain are not latent. While some of the simpler activities may require only a small portion of the brain at a time, very complex activities or thought patterns require a large portion of the brain. Just as people don't use all of their muscle tissue at once when they exercise, the brain doesn't call up all parts of the brain at once. Some exercises, such as eating, watching TV or reading a book, can be done by using some special functions of the brain. However, all parts of the brain may be used in different activities throughout the day.

The "10%" statement also indicates that most of the "useless" parts of the brain are taking up space. According to this theory, the effect on the brain should be negligible if the "useless" part is removed or damaged. However, we now know that destroying even a small area of the human brain can have devastating effects behaviorally. Damage to a very small area of the brain caused by a stroke can cause a loss of all abilities; Some neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, also affect only specific areas of the brain. That's why neurosurgeons who remove some brain tissue during epilepsy and brain tumor surgery must carefully map the brain in advance to ensure that the basic areas of the brain are not damaged. "Luckily, the bullet went deep into his skull, damaging only the 90% of your brain that you don't use!" ――Have you ever heard a doctor say that to a patient?
