Chapter 14 Chapter 12 "X Physical Examination"

"Chairman, the manager is waiting for you!" Imai told Ohara who had just arrived, as if anxiously. "The manager is waiting for me? It's still early!" Ohara said dissatisfiedly, looking at the watch on his wrist. There are still half an hour before work, and there are few people in the office.After Ohara became the head of the class, he often went to work half an hour earlier than others.It's not that he is particularly hardworking, but that he hates meeting Saeko face to face.Saeko fell asleep and slept late, because there was a maid serving, Ohara did not feel any inconvenience in going to work.But Saeko probably felt a little embarrassed, and even got up to see him out.For him, this was really a dumbfounding thing, and it turned out that he had to sneak out of the house earlier than the average staff.

Ohara also knew that Saeko never got up to take care of him at work.This is just to show off her gorgeous costume and arrogance in front of Ohara. The important leaders of Nippon Chemical Company usually go to work around ten o'clock in the morning.Ohara walked suspiciously towards the office of the person in charge on the top floor of the Nippon Chemical Corporation building.In the past, as soon as I approached the door of the person in charge's office, my legs would tremble involuntarily, but now I can push the door and go in relatively easily.It all depends on Saeko's background, Ohara only feels Saeko's great value at such times.

"Good morning, we are waiting for you." Ogata Daisaburo was thinking about something, and then raised his face and said to Ohara. Daisaburo was born in the concubine of the younger brother of the former manager Tomonotsusumu, and he had no heirs after his wife, so he inherited the family business of Ohnosumi and was promoted to an important position of executive.He and the current manager, Xing Zhijin, are cousins. Compared with Xing Zhijin's agility that sparks at the first contact, although he does not have the style of resolute and sharp-edged, he has the courage to weigh even a small weight.He is the right-hand man of luck.But he maintained his own style, and he was able to cooperate tacitly and get along well with Xing Zhijin, without the factional struggles that often occur in general family companies.All the company's affairs can be carried out smoothly under this "centralized" rule, which is also related to the tacit cooperation between these two people.

There was another person beside him, a thin man with a very stern look in his eyes.Although Ohara is under his jurisdiction, he seldom interacts with each other.He also knew that this person was Fairy Ono, the director of the Central Research Institute who had a certain potential power in Nippon Chemical Corporation.Ohara saw that the two pillars of the Nippon Chemical Company were indoors, so why did he summon him before going to work?The relaxed mood that the son-in-law felt when he saw his father-in-law disappeared suddenly, and he couldn't help being a little nervous.In order to relieve Ohara's uneasiness, Daisaburo smiled slightly, his small eyes that were disproportionate to his face narrowed into a slit. "Oh, sit down." Dasaburo raised his head, indicating the empty chair on the left.That smile is the business smile he has for everyone.Dasaburo's smile, as son-in-law, Ohara felt strange intimacy, and Daisaburo's tone was very cold when he spoke to his subordinates.

"I called home just now. If you haven't left home, I'll drive to pick you up. Who knows that you've already come out, which will save trouble." "It's not just today, I come to work very early every day." Da Yuan originally wanted to be informal, say some homely words, and swallowed those words immediately after listening to Dasaburo's tone. "The thing is like this." Dasaburo's expression suddenly became serious, and he started his conversation.His calm expression does not make people very nervous, but the piercing gaze of the eyes embedded in the "elephant" face indicates that the next conversation is very important.

Sure enough, Dasaburo's words surprised Ohara. Negotiated directly with the U.S. military, undertook the research and development of poison gas bombs, and established a secret factory in Qingli, Shanli County.The poison gas bomb developed by the chief engineer of the E special research group of the Central Research Institute, Xiong Xiong, according to the requirements of the US military, finally achieved the first successful trial production. This is the first time Ohara has heard these words.He worked in the pesticide department. As a general member of management, although he had heard a little about the fact that the company was secretly producing munitions for the Vietnam War, he never thought that such a thing would happen.It was only then that Ohara deeply felt the greedy nature of the company’s desperate pursuit of profits. At the same time, he felt that the company even disclosed such secrets to me and let me participate in such secrets.

"The poisonous gas that can weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness and make people temporarily insane has finally been successfully trial-produced. Onishi named this poisonous gas N gas, which contains the meaning of 'manufactured by Japan's chemical industry'. However, it brings a difficult problem .” Dasaburo suddenly paused and stared at Ohara.Daisaburo's broad, dignified face has a well-defined small nose and chin, and the white and large teeth in the thick lips are slightly protruding.On the big mouth and face, there are two small eyes that don't match. Sometimes they look like the kind eyes of a loyal elder, and sometimes they look like the eyes of a businessman who is good at hiding his true feelings. Now he is staring at Ohara He didn't know which kind of vision he had.Anyway, that expression is a bit unpredictable.

"Please tell me what kind of difficult problem it is." Seeing Dasaburo always staring at him without saying a word, Ohara finally couldn't bear to urge him. "En." Dasaburo only nodded, but still didn't continue, staring at Ohara, whether to say or not, showing a very hesitant look. (That was not looking at my son-in-law, but the merchant's eyes looking at the value of the goods.) Ohara finally couldn't bear it anymore, and at this moment, Dasaburo spoke again: "Well... After all, N gas is only a theoretical demonstration that this product can be made, and its effect is just a theoretical inference."

"The stuff that Onishi trial-produced was based on the chemical composition of a poisonous mushroom that can make people hallucinate. At first, its toxicity was not as great as the LDS25 chemical weapon used by the US military. After the derivatives are synthesized, the toxicity of the poisonous gas far exceeds that of LDS25." "..." "It is said to be very toxic, as I just said, it is only deduced theoretically based on the chemical composition. We still don't know the actual effect." "Then... haven't you done an experiment?" "Of course I did. Experiments were done with mice and rabbits."

"The effect..." "The effect is excellent! It's very interesting. It is said that the mouse has gone crazy and will not run away when it sees a cat. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'a poor mouse gnaws a cat, but a dog jumps over the wall'. I heard that the mouse even took the initiative to attack the cat. It's really brave." "In this way, the mouse will become daring when it is poisoned." Ohara felt that the crazy mouse was really funny, and said a witty thing, and regretted that he had talked too much after he said it. Dasaburo still said in his unhurried manner: "That's the thing, if it's just the mouse going crazy..."

"what?" "What I'm saying is, if it's just to drive the mice crazy..." "You mean..." Ohara hated his stupid head for not turning the corner, so he could only ask tremblingly. "I mean, the experiments on mice and rabbits have been repeated several times, but is it really effective on humans? It's not sure yet." At this time, Ono, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.Although his position in the company is far above Ohara, he speaks in a respectful tone as if facing his elders, which makes the listeners very uncomfortable.Ono's wording and meaning make people feel that there is an important secret to discuss.Indeed, there are important secrets to tell. It turned out that it was much easier to conduct a lethal chemical drug test than a non-lethal test.The lethal dose to the human body can be deduced from the results of lethal animal experiments, but such non-lethal chemical drugs like N gas, which only take away the ability, have little value in animal experiments. "Why?" Ohara thought to himself. "This is due to the fact that humans and animals respond differently to these types of chemicals." "So that's it!" Ohara understood the meaning of Ono's words, and even shouted out loud. "That's right." Ono smiled quite satisfied, it was just a slight relaxation of the facial muscles, but there was no smile in the eyes. "For us, N gas only has a strong effect on small animals, and until the effect on the human body is clarified, it cannot be delivered to the US military as a finished product." "However, if human experiments are to be conducted..." Dasaburo interrupted before Ohara finished speaking. "Indeed, if you conduct human experiments, you not only have to bear the moral responsibility, but you will also be prosecuted by the law. The production of poisonous gas alone will be severely criticized. If you use humans for experiments, this kind of It is hard for Nippon Kasei to deny the facts when the inhumane things are revealed. But if you don’t conduct human experiments, it is tantamount to losing the US military, the biggest customer since the company was founded. Ohara-kun, if you were in this situation, what would you do? " Unexpectedly, there would be a problem for Ohara in the end, he said a little flusteredly: "Then, is it okay to use an animal that is closest to human beings, for example, a monkey, for the experiment?" Dasaburo smiled and said: "We don't intend to do this kind of experiment. Monkeys, they are monkeys, and..." At this point, Dasaburo glanced at Ono, and motioned for Ono to continue the conversation in the same way as before.Sure enough, just like what Ono said earlier, the words were vague and ambiguous: "When it comes to human experiments, we need to do them, not only to understand some of the effects within a certain period of time after accepting the experiments, but also to continue to conduct medical clinical observations. N gas is completely developed as a humane weapon , it is a product that works for a while without sequelae, but this is only a conclusion drawn from theory and previous animal experiments. In practical applications, how much mental disorder will be caused by the effect on humans? , How long does the so-called temporary effect last? In addition, the dosage for adults or children is only a theoretical inference. If there are sequelae, not only the mental aspect, but also the impact on internal organs and endocrine functions must be considered. It is impossible to accurately measure all these from animal experiments." "So it's very difficult not to conduct human experiments?" "Is that so?" Ono smiled faintly at Ohara.Ohara suddenly felt a chill hit his body. "We also obtained some information from the employees who worked in the Qingli factory in the past. When manufacturing products and performing operations, they inhaled a small amount of N gas into their bodies, and unintentionally became our human test subjects. However, this It was a completely accidental experiment, and the environment was not well managed, and the relationship with the main indicators of the 'X Physical Examination' is still unclear... That is to say, it is not yet possible to fully grasp how much inhalation will cause the symptoms to appear. But again You can’t take a job test specifically. Our company’s trade union organization is still relatively moderate, and the employees sent to Qingli are all loyal to the company. If the situation is serious, the trade union will not stop talking. This will train us for many years The spirit of loyalty to the company was ruined. Even if there are staff members who come to apply for human trials, they cannot be used.” "Won't it cause more trouble if we use outsiders?" "Really?" Ono's mouth had that subtle smile again.This made Ohara tremble. "Some people in the world don't cherish their own bodies. Some people don't say they are alive, even if they exist, they are still a piece of trash. Not only do they live in this world, they will affect and hinder others, but they are always world-weary, but they don't have the courage to end it by themselves. Life is just living by biological instinct. There may be only good for society if there are fewer such people in the world. Moreover, such people themselves do not have any hope of living." "That's some criminals?" Ohara was unknowingly attracted by Ono's words. "No, not the criminals. They're the moths of society, but they want to live. The kind of guy I'm talking about, who doesn't want to break the law because he's alive, the kind of slob, who just has to live because there's no other way. If you can Give them some courage to take their lives from the sidelines, and they will die happily. As for their reluctance to do so, it is because they do not have such courage and courage.” "Aren't these people tired of their families?" "There will always be some lonely people in the world, not just spiritual loneliness." "Is it just to find this kind of object?" Ono nodded deeply, as if to say, indeed. "However, if it is not done well, it will become a murder." Da Yuan said hesitantly, like a fish that has been baited in a daze. "That's why I called you here!" Dasaburo answered this time.The two of them cooperated skillfully with each other like professional wrestlers and attacked Ohara.Dasaburo and Ono's every move is a step-by-step approach, not allowing Ohara a chance to think and take a breath, effectively coordinating and lobbying in turns.They made Ohara unable to carefully consider the importance of the content of the conversation, and they were not just exerting pressure as a superior, but leading to the conclusion they hoped to draw. "You called me to..." "Yes, I would like to ask you to take on the job of finding people." Dasaburo said without any concealment. "Looking for someone?!" "It's better to call it 'collection of experimental animals'. I don't want to go into details, and you understand that although it is 'non-lethal', the effect must vary according to different ages and physiques. It usually causes mild mental confusion. The dose may be fatal to young children, the elderly, or those with internal organs. Then, how many doses should such people inhale so as not to die and achieve a satisfactory result? Also, the toxicity of poisonous gas will be How long does it last in the human body and to what extent? We haven’t figured out these issues. Therefore, men, women, old and young, healthy people and sick people, if there is a way, should be from the sensitive to the weak. This kind of For us, the more test subjects, the better. Now, I am borrowing a saying from Ono just now, that is, the more quantity and types of "X physical examination" required, the better." This is to study the interrelationship between the "X Physical Examination" that plays a leading role in the experiment and various main factors that affect the subjects of the "Physical Examination".In precise scientific experiments such as physics and chemistry, in order to control the influence of external factors, it is often carried out in an environment that excludes other factors.It is also necessary to continuously change the main factors to observe the impact on the "physical examination" and the relationship between them.In this case, the main factor is N gas. "X Physical Examination" refers to the people who were tested by Dasaburo.However, unlike the animals used in experiments, this kind of subjects are not so easy to recruit.Even if they are recruited, after accepting different amounts of N gas tests, how do they plan to deal with them?That is to say: after the experiment is over, they cannot be let out easily. "This..." Ohara didn't know what to say, so he couldn't help but stared at the other party in a daze.Although I dodged and made a big bend just now, I have already explained everything.Even if Daisaburo didn't say these words, he could still feel that the company trampled on human dignity in order to obtain huge profits and conduct creepy scientific research. "Yes, this is a tricky matter." Dasaburo took Ohara's words and said. Does this difficulty refer to the difficulty of finding test subjects, or does it refer to the practice of going against ethics?It's hard to tell.Anyway, from his face, there was no embarrassment at all.The expression of this person is clearly: what the enterprise needs is everything, as for what it needs, there is no need to ask.In order to get everything the business needs, I am convinced that any means and actions are justified. In a corner of this modern building that symbolizes the camp of capitalism, there is actually this shameless feudal retainer living in seclusion. For the benefit of his master, he will do anything by hook or by crook.All actions are done to benefit the company's certain interests, and the value of the actions is not considered at all.This philosophy of life is really incomprehensible to those employees who only work for monthly wages. At the beginning, people gathered together in order to obtain food and happiness for themselves and their family members with few members around them. They gathered more and more to form an organic organization such as "enterprise".Although the expectations of each member of the enterprise are different, how did it evolve into a huge monster in the naked pursuit of material and power? Ogata Daisaburo might not have been this kind of person earlier.He did his best for the business and made it a strong limited company.But Nippon Kasei is not owned by him alone. After all, he is just a cog in the giant monster that is Nippon Kasei.Compared with Ohara and others, his importance may be vastly different, but he is still a "part of the body". From this point of view, it is exactly the same.Although he occupies a higher position, he is not the master of the company.He acts like a devil, and compared with the rewards he gets from the enterprise, it is still incomparably small, and these rewards, if you don’t do it, you won’t have it.However, Daisaburo and Ono standing in front of Ohara now exude a stench like Nippon Kasei itself.In the enterprise, which is an organization composed of individuals, although they are in the highest decision-making body, they provide advice and suggestions; they are really the "big loyal ministers" of the company, perhaps because of these loyal employees. It took a lot of hard work to form the behemoth of the enterprise.It can also be said that these employees do not hesitate to self-denial and serve the public in order to swallow the bait. They are nothing more than poor physical parts poisoned by the corporate monster.At this moment, Ohara felt that Ogata Daisaburo had become the incarnation of greed and gluttony of the Japanese chemical company, spewing poisonous gas straight at people. "If you don't do it well, you will turn people into waste. In the worst case, you have to kill them. You have to do it no matter what." Dasaburo's last sentence, like speaking to a deaf man, is clear and clear . Ohara has not been officially instructed, but it is very clear that this must be done, and the obligation and action refer to himself.Once it is lost, it is a crime of homicide; even if it goes well, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the crime of participating in suicide.But Daisaburo gave the order as if nothing had happened, as if he was giving a very ordinary business instruction. Under such circumstances, Ohara could refuse, although it was an order from his superiors, but it violated the law after all.When the orders of the company conflict with the requirements of society, you are not allowed to hesitate for a moment, and you must make a choice.However, for employees, refusing to implement the company's will is tantamount to ruining their own future.Even if you don't get knocked out of your job, the door to promotion will be closed forever, and you will see that there is a gap with your colleagues, and even let the latecomers take the lead until the day when you retire within a certain number of years.For ambitious employees, this is a humiliation that is more unbearable than death... Because of this, these employees always absolutely obey the orders of their superiors regardless of their content, even if they violate social requirements, they will not hesitate , faithfully executed.This is not a sense of obligation, but a kind of complacency and complacency produced by being valued by the boss. We exist as a member of society, but we do not directly participate in this society, but belong to the various small groups that make up society, and become indirect members of the large group of society.It can be said that they are ministers of the society.As a minister of a subject, in theory, he should obey his lord or the lord's orders; but in reality, he only absolutely obeys his immediate superior.If there is a slight disobedience, then your future future will be ruined.As an individual, I told him that everything should be far-sighted; but in real life, he had to only focus on immediate interests. "Immediate interests" are often more closely related to one's own survival.Fully understand the order, but if the content of the order conflicts with legal, moral, emotional, rational and other values ​​to a certain extent, the company will carefully select those simple-minded , short-sighted and ambitious staff to faithfully carry out orders. The reason why Ohara was chosen to do this is to let Kuai's son-in-law do some credit for the company.This is Yue Weng Dasaburo's painstaking efforts, and at the same time, it is nothing more than seeing the weakness of this young man who is simple-minded and named Li Xunxin.Ogata Daisaburo was convinced that Ohara would not refuse this task, so he unknowingly used an orderly tone, as if to give him the company's instructions: "'Medical examiners', there must be at least four people. Generally, they are the elderly, adults, young people and children. In particular, there must be an equal number of men and women, and one of them must be a patient, preferably a terminally ill patient with no hope of cure. Women, in order to observe The impact on the fetus, I hope it is an early pregnancy. Although human life is not valuable, it is still very difficult to find these people with different types and requirements for life-threatening experiments. Therefore, it is not easy to recruit .In case of the most serious situation, all traces of the existence of these people should be erased, so that they disappear without a trace. Is that okay? In the worst case, all four people will be erased. It is up to us to consider how to deal with them. You...well, you go to find these four types of objects, and completely cut off our company from the social environment and historical connection with these people. But you are not required to illegally abduct, but to obtain the parties involved Agree and give sufficient compensation, and sign a decent contract that both parties can accept. In short, such a contract must be recognized by the law. If the parties agree, it will be very troublesome if the relatives around come to make noise. Therefore, it is best It would be the most ideal to find a "bachelor" who has no parents, brothers, or children. This kind of person is only greedy for money for his own pleasure. People who are greedy for life and afraid of death are definitely not suitable for our human experiments. The most suitable person is the person who urgently needs a sum of money for the illness of his relatives or the poverty of his wife. People may pity their lives for themselves, but they will give their lives without hesitation for the ones they love the most. Ah. To find this kind of person, sign a contract and send it to Qingli. However, you have to pay a high amount of remuneration to prevent accidents. You can first go through the formalities according to the opinions of the person concerned. The money can belong to relatives. But the payment unit of the money, and the whereabouts of the bribed parties, all these clues must be cut off. Is it difficult? Can it be done?" Dasaburo stared into Ohara's eyes, and Ohara had a dazed expression. Feeling that Dasaburo's gaze is like a sharp sword, piercing into his own pupils. "This is just in case, if you can't completely cut off contact with the outside world, it will be troublesome. I don't think the test results will be as bad as I just said. From previous animal tests, as long as there are not many bad situations combined Together, there will be no fatal accidents. It can be said that the focus of the experiment is to study the effect of residual toxicity, that is, the sequelae." These words were said by Daisaburo Ono. "So, if you have a mental illness and you can't recover, have you ever considered this?" "It's a pity." Ono nodded and said again. "Judging from previous experimental data, there is no guarantee that all of them will recover. Therefore, human experiments are even more necessary." Ono sneered, but it wasn't a sneer.When talking about this kind of thing, he can still laugh, which really makes Ohara feel chills.In Ono's eyes, whether it is a human or an animal, it is only valuable when it is used as an "X physical examination" in an experiment.Ohara is afraid of this scientist who is as cold as metal, but he doesn't realize that he has acted as a pawn to bribe "X", and his conscience has also fallen unconsciously. Afterwards, they made various plans meticulously, and Ohara was finally freed, only to realize that it was already late for lunch. "The only people who know about this plan are the manager, Ono-kun, you and me, and a very small number of people in the Kiyosato factory. This matter is extremely secret. Please take care of everything." Daisaburo said finally. These words echoed in Ohara's mind for a long time.As a result of participating in the company's extremely secretive planning activities, the original hesitation about this eerie plan was swept away, replaced by the pride of young people. Ohara was about to leave the special office, Dasaburo suddenly showed a little emotion on his indifferent face, and said, "Don't spoil Saeko." "yes?" "When you first arrived at the company, it was already 8:20. At that time, I went to make a phone call, and this girl was still sleeping late. She was still in bed after eight o'clock. How could a staff member have such a wife? You I'm too afraid of her." Dasaburo's tone did not blame his daughter's laziness, his attitude was simply encouraging Saeko.But only at this time, his elusive expression became like a naughty boy playing a prank, squinting his eyes, showing the look of a father, and at the same time, the look of a father-in-law to a son-in-law.This is also the only time in this "secret meeting" that Dasaburo showed an ordinary person-like demeanor.The flattered Ohara had to withstand such a strong impact. After Saeko went to work in Ohara, she got under the covers and went to sleep again. It wasn't because she was sincere as a wife to send her husband to work, but because she wanted to be self-willed and didn't want Ohara to see her bleary-eyed appearance, so she got up.That's all.But once the husband went to work and started a day of hard work, the wife slipped into the hot quilt and slept comfortably. Ohara could not forgive her.Maybe that's a good thing, there are plenty of lazy women like that in the uptown.However, when the day's work was over and all the strength in her body seemed to be squeezed out, she returned home, but Saeko was on edge, holding on to airs. It's annoying!In front of her husband, there is no need to put on a pose, even if she exposes her own weaknesses, showing the delicacy of a young wife, isn't that what makes a wife lovely?Saeko's posturing didn't come from a woman's shyness either.This contrived attitude cannot be maintained for long.A virtuous woman will deliberately let her husband see her reserve gradually disappear.But Saeko wasn't like that, really wasn't.She thought she was superior to Ohara, put on airs, and treated her husband as a subordinate, even if she didn't sleep for a while, she deliberately pretended to be that superior.Therefore, every morning, I don't want to send my husband to work, and I don't want to sleep late. I deliberately get up early and go to bed later to confuse my husband.From Ohara's point of view, Saeko is the kind of lazy person, and he doesn't have to hide it in front of him. He still falls asleep when he is at work, and feels closer to him instead. "It's unforgivable." Ohara thought to himself.However, you can only think about it in your own heart. When you are with her, what to eat, when to have sex, and what TV shows to watch, all of these are up to her.His identity is very clear, he is just a poor male slave.Thinking of this, his hatred for her was even more aroused in his heart.In order to calm this anger as soon as possible, it is necessary to surpass Saeko as soon as possible and stand on top of her.At this stage, the most important thing is to carry out the orders of the company before us. With the skills of a well-trained staff, Ohara calmed down the turmoil in his heart for a moment, saluted the two people in the room, and retreated to the deserted corridor.
