Chapter 15 Chapter Thirteen The Fallen Heart
Nakai Shinsaku, 31 years old, 1-12 Nakamura Kita, Nerima-ku, Tokyo.Service unit: Nippon Chemical Co., Ltd. T factory.
Takahashi Shengli, twenty-eight years old, is at 1-28-19 Harumi Street, Fuchu City.Service unit: Same as above.
Toyoji Honda, 29 years old, 1-28 North Street, Ichikawa City.Service unit: Dadong Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
"Nippon Chemical Company again!"
Akita looked at the medical record and murmured.Among the three medical record cards in his hand, two were transferred from the T Municipal Hospital that had sent that strange patient, Sadaichi Tabe.The remaining one was sent by a general hospital in S City, Chiba Prefecture.
The service position of the patient transferred from City S Honda Toyoji is Daito Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., which has set up a factory in S City to manufacture pesticides, which is also an organization under Nippon Chemical Corporation.During this period of time, the three patients who were successively sent to the Central Clinic of the Japan Industrial Accident Prevention Association were all employees of the Japanese Chemical Industry System, and their symptoms were roughly similar to those of Tabe.The general similarity is because these three medical records have added some items that have not been checked by Tianbe in the past.
This item is "leukopenia".The normal number of white blood cells in an adult male is about 6,000 per cubic millimeter.White blood cells between 4,000 and 8,000 are considered normal, but these three people have less than 2,000.Leukopenia is caused by drug poisoning, radiation damage, or conditions such as intestinal tumors, influenza, and granulocytopenia.Those with unknown causes are usually more serious diseases.
There was no abnormality in the white blood cell count of Tabe Joichi at that time.Therefore, it can be considered that the harmful substances these three people were exposed to may be completely different from those of Tabe, and their leukopenia may be due to their old diseases.However, after careful inspection, no old illnesses were found.Moreover, these three people are all employees of the Japanese Chemical Industry System, and it is impossible to suffer from the exact same disease one after another. This kind of chance is really too small.Except for the symptom of leukopenia, other conditions were similar to those of Tabe.Based on the above situation, it is most likely that they are exposed to harmful substances in the same environment and become ill.Leukopenia and insanity, medically proved that there is no necessary connection between the two.Looking at these four people in the same unit and having similar symptoms, we have to conclude that this is caused by a harmful substance or a substance with similar properties.In addition, the symptoms of the three people who were sent later were much more severe, and Tabe woke up in just one day.The Honda that was delivered late last night has almost recovered.Takahashi, who was brought in the day before yesterday, was still talking nonsense. Even though Nakai had been treated for more than a week, he hadn't shown signs of recovery yet.Moreover, Tabe "slipped away" before the full body examination at that time. If the examination could continue, the abnormal white blood cell count might also be found.
From the above, it can be considered that the harmful substances that caused the four of them to suffer from insanity were similar in nature, and the toxicity of this harmful substance gradually intensified during the period from Tabe to the three people's onset.Judging from the insanity and complications of these three people, this unknown harmful substance seems to have the "effect" of reducing white blood cells in addition to insanity.So what exactly is this substance?After the three patients came, the Central Clinic mobilized all forces to carry out detailed examinations, but they still couldn't find any clues.Except for the medical record reports from the T City Municipal Hospital sent along with these patients, there was no other progress.
"Wukopenia!" Akita whispered resentfully.He got up to check the ward.Because they are all seriously ill, they cannot come to the consultation room.As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and couldn't stand upright.
"Sir!" The laboratory technician Yoshida just sent the patient's body examination report a few days ago. Seeing the situation, he rushed over to support Akita.
"Is it important?" Yoshida looked at Akita worriedly.
"Thank you. It doesn't matter." Akita said with a forced smile.
"You can't be too tired, sir is really very dedicated."
"No, it's really nothing. I stood up too quickly just now, and I was a little anemic." Akita said this, and he knew in his heart that this was not ordinary dizziness.The low-grade fever that has not subsided for the past few days has gradually spread, causing pain in the joints of the whole body, and Akita knows that his body is indeed deteriorating at an accelerated rate.
"Let's not talk about this, Yoshida-kun, do you have any new discoveries?" Akita tried his best to resist the feeling of fatigue caused by the low-grade fever, and said casually on purpose.The honest Yoshida was deceived.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, there's nothing new to discover." As if he had made a mistake, he bent his tall body and scratched his scalp.
"It's not your fault." Akita comforted, took the inspection report, and watched Yoshida leave. "I'm afraid my stay is coming to an end." Akita murmured, and then browsed through the report.
"You have to hurry up." He seemed to have given an order to himself, pulled himself together from the cold, and walked towards the ward.
Onishi-kun:
Hello.It will be the season of heavy snow on Yatsugatake Mountain over there.Kenichi is growing vigorously and is currently learning to walk.Now he has to do everything by himself, and he has a big idea.Once he didn't like it, he would try his best to gesture and say: "No!" He liked the disturbing "adventure" the most, and he was interested in everything, turning the drawers upside down one by one, He often used his hands to dig out those nooks and crannies, and stuffed everything into his mouth. Not only did he have to watch him when he was awake, but he couldn't take his eyes off him for a while at any time.Now, the scope of his exploration is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and his "territory" has also begun to expand.It's amazing how quickly a child grows up.I haven't visited a shrine yet, and it's really discouraging to think about it.If possible, I would like to go with the whole family when you are here.But the rest of the year is running out.
Everyone says that it is time to visit a shrine in the first month of life, but I think it is really meaningful that the child should be brought to the shrine by the parents.However, your work was so busy at that time, so I had no choice but to give up this idea, and ask the patron saint of the shrine to wait until that day.I found a guardian deity and a good shrine for Kenichi, and that shrine is not as famous as Omiya Shrine.Behind our house, there is a small river flowing in the direction of Hamada Mountain. At the place where there are no houses, there is a small flat land. In the most unobtrusive low-lying part of the flat land, there is a very, very small shrine. , it is hidden in the thin tall wild sumac and bushes, low-lying, can not build any house.Here is a lonely open space, with dense weeds.Needless to say, the shrine does not have a name. In the temple that is about to collapse, it is full of spider webs, and the statue is covered with dust. This is the patron saint.It seems that there is no one who came to pay homage, and the incense box has been lost somewhere.It seems that this patron saint has been forgotten by the people of the world. However, it is this kind of unlucky patron saint. Although it is not as popular as Omiya God and Meiji God, I think it will definitely be better than those "stars" among the gods. More conscientious, able to protect the future of children for a long time.That kind of lucky gods have too many stepsons, they can't take care of them one by one.
I made up my mind and took a fancy to this shrine as Kenichi's patron saint.You won't object, will you?So can you come back on Kenichi's birthday this time?I also know that your work is very busy, but Kenichi is one year old, let's celebrate his birth together.Please come back this time no matter what.Let's go to the shrine together as a family to fulfill our long-cherished wish.
Attached is a close up of Kenichi.Kenichi and I are waiting for your return.
Please take care of all the inconveniences outside.
Sincerely.
On Xiangzi
Onishi-kun:
What about the results of human trials?According to your report, the manager and the others are very happy to learn that the development of N gas is about to be basically completed.As far as the current quality has reached the delivery standard, but according to the manager's opinion, it is necessary to further explore the impact on disease patients and fetuses.I also completely agree with this opinion.The use of chemical weapons such as gas bombs will also have an impact on non-combatants, so it is necessary to thoroughly study the sequelae of fetal and patient poisoning and the persistence of toxicity in this case.Only after the information is complete can it be delivered to the US military as a "finished product".For this reason, I hope you will try your best to make N gas more perfect.
I am sorry that the test subjects of pregnant women and patients who were thought to be the easiest to find, especially women in the first trimester and patients with heart and lung diseases, have not been able to find them.It is difficult to recognize women in the early stages of pregnancy only from their appearance. When the pregnancy period is long, the abdominal bulge is already obvious, and most of them have already sent a pregnancy declaration to the local government, so it is not easy to start.As for patients with milder conditions, several patients have been found, but they all have similar reactions to healthy people, so it is of little significance.Moreover, most patients with such diseases are undergoing treatment, all under the jurisdiction of the hospital, and it is extremely difficult to "buy".Now let Ohara keep searching.For now, please continue to experiment with the original test subjects.
Also, your friend, Shuhei Akita, a doctor at the Japan Labor Accident Central Medical Center, has been asking about your whereabouts several times.Could there be a clue of some N gas already smelled?Given his role, it's a bit worrying.This was also a major miscalculation on our part.Among the workers who went home from Kiyosato on vacation, three of them fell into a state of poisoning for a while. Their family members did not know the details, so they rushed them to the hospital, and later they were transferred to the Japanese labor disaster clinic.Fortunately, the symptoms of these three people were not too serious. In less than two weeks, they recovered one after another and entered the affiliated hospital of the company according to their own wishes.These three people are all excellent employees selected from various units under All Nippon Chemicals, so I am not worried that they will casually leak information that is not good for the company.However, after they wake up, they are in a state of forgetfulness that they can't remember the situation at that time. When they are unconscious, they don't know whether they will say something.Even without this incident, since the occurrence of nitroethylene glycol poisoning incidents many times, it has quickly attracted the attention of the Japanese labor disaster hospital, and this time it will undoubtedly cause more trouble.I hope that before the development of N gas is completed, it will not be interfered by the Japanese labor disaster.This is a major event that will determine the fate of the company, so I hope you will not have contact with people like Akita at the moment, or he may want to meet you as a friend.However, at this time, it is better to keep a respectful distance from all dangerous characters.
The existence of the Kiyosato factory is also an extreme secret within the company, known only to a few people.Of course I trust you.Right now, it seems a bit of a disregard for human rights to ban staff from taking vacations and sending letters to their families, but please explain it well to everyone, don't be defensive, it's not a business order, Instead, it asks you to manage it by asking for cooperation.From the above-mentioned incidents, we know from the lessons we have learned that these people all fell ill when they went home to visit their relatives, which shows that N gas is time-sensitive.The symptoms of the three people all occurred in their own homes at night after returning home.Due to the rotation of vacations, the days of the onset were different, but it was unusual that they almost all became ill after leaving Kiyosato for the same period of time.It can be considered that they inhaled N gas unknowingly during the operation, so how much dose do they need to inhale to produce such an obvious time effect?If the inhalation amount can be controlled, can the aging be controlled?And so on, these questions have yet to be resolved.If the effect of N gas is time-sensitive, this is really a great invention.It was not a good thing for those three people to fall into the net of Japanese labor disasters.As a fluke, this gave us the opportunity to prompt new discoveries in the properties of N gas.At present, there are twelve people who have gone home for vacation, and these three are the only ones who have symptoms of poisoning.The other nine people don't know when they will get sick, so they have been sent to the company's affiliated hospital for observation.
The symptoms of these three people when they fell ill, the copies of the medical records of the Japanese labor accident clinic and the medical record card of our hospital are attached for your reference.Hope to continue to spare no effort in research.
Recently, I would like to accompany the manager to your place, but the date has not yet been determined. Once the decision is made, I will contact you again.Looking forward to meeting then.
Ono
This morning, Daxiong Xiong received two express letters one after another, and read them over and over again until noon.Especially the letter from his wife made him so excited that he wanted to pick up his travel bag and run to the station immediately.
Xiangzi's letter also included several photos of his children. As a father, he couldn't help but feel an indelible nostalgia for his hometown.It was perhaps shot just to make him feel strongly about home.But as a layman photographer, it is not an easy task to skillfully capture the vivid life scenes of children into the lens one by one.Those innocent eyes that don't know the dirt in the world, the infinitely joyful look full of trust in the surroundings, the firm and fat body like a ball not long after giving birth, and the chubby red cheeks, showing innocence His demeanor, as if he is curious about anything new, and his naughty expression of often daring to take risks in order to seek new knowledge, is printed on bright color photo paper.This warm family is very attractive to Onishi who is dragged down by work.
"Kenichi!" Onishi called several times in a low voice, and even pressed the photo tightly to his cheek.He used to be very contemptuous of people who were devoted to their families.Is there any other more important center than career in being a man?Career is the lifeblood of a man, and family is just a "restaurant" for obtaining the "energy" to continue working.Usually, he has this belief, and often warns himself not to indulge too much in the comfortable family life.In the past, I didn't spend any energy on my family.For him, a job is far more fulfilling than a family.However, it just feels today that many excellent hard workers in the past have become family obsessives so easily; and this is why.Onishi soon looked down on that little comfort and happiness.But now that there are children, with children as the center, this concept of happiness is infinitely expanding and expanding astronomically.The standard of values has also changed from "career is the essence of life" to "all for the happiness of children" at an alarming speed.Who can put his career above the happiness of his children?Before having children, the wife is like an outsider, not keeping it in her heart.
The Kenichi in these photos seemed to be babbling to him, which made Onishi forget his work and duties all of a sudden, and deeply missed his home in Tokyo.However, this does not make Onishi change the purpose of his life. This is just the novelty and temporary emotional fluctuation of being a father for the first time.Will he become a family supremacist in the future, or a person who is desperate and devoted to his career?Let's wait and see when the child grows up.
"Should I go back and have a look tonight?" Daxi flashed this idea in his mind, but it can't be said that his mind has completely changed.The cheerful mood when I looked at the picture of the child turned completely serious when I read the second letter.
This is a letter from Ono, director of the Central Research Institute, his immediate boss.For the development of N gas, the company's instructions were issued to him through Ono.The call to Kiyosato has not yet been automatically connected, and must be relayed through the switchboard.Therefore, in order to keep it secret, Ono wrote to him for important instructions, except for those that were extremely urgent.All letters are written in secret ink, and the handwriting on the letter will disappear automatically after a certain period of time.
In Ono's letter, he mentioned: The three people who returned home on vacation were sent to the Japanese labor disaster clinic; Akita is looking for himself.Onishi intuitively felt: "If Akita catches something, it will be troublesome."
Since graduating from school, I have hardly seen Akita, and I seem to have seen him at my wedding.However, at that time, I was surrounded by congratulators, and I didn't even have a chance to speak a word.What's more, I didn't say goodbye to him before coming to Qingli.After that, their contacts with each other were not close.Although I also want to meet my nostalgic friends from my youth, but I am busy with work every day, and I don't have time to make an appointment to meet them.I wanted to have time to catch up on the old days, but firstly, I didn't have time, and secondly, there was nothing that I had to talk about.
A friend in youth is like a piece of cake. Of course I like it if I have one, but if I don’t have it, it’s just a bit of a pain in the mouth, and it doesn’t really hinder my life.I haven't seen Akita for a long time. Ono said that he is looking for himself. I don't think he is looking for me to talk about the old love in his youth.No, Onishi knew quite well that Akita was looking for him because he connected the three people who went home to visit relatives with Onishi.
"I've been interested in gunpowder since I was a student. The guy whispered in my ear. Of course it's a bad thing in the eyes of the pacifists. But it's a bad thing for me. My life's work. He is my only climbing partner, but I can't listen to him on this point. But, the bad thing is, I'm in debt. Because of the debt I owe on Mt. Hotaka I haven't repaid it yet, so it's not good to ask him to tell you the truth. However, these are completely different things. The debt I owe can be repaid in other ways, but the trouble is..." Thinking of this, Daxi couldn't help His eyebrows were furrowed. "What if he finds out about N gas, what should he do? Not only does this terrifying chemical weapon run counter to his pacifist beliefs, but the sequelae of N gas require him to devote his entire life to it." The subjects that he came to study and solve are very similar. Maybe he has found something similar to his own research subjects from the symptoms of these three people. This must be the case. That's why he wanted to come to see me again after two years of separation. It will be very troublesome if we meet like this."
Onishi thought of his friend's passionate and persistent eyes again.On several occasions, the two of them tied each other's bodies with ropes and struggled to climb the snow-covered cliffs and canyons.Akita's eyes are always full of warm yearning, struggling to climb up.It would be a bit unbearable if Akita gave me advice with the same gaze this time.Indeed, as Director Ono said, it is better to keep a respectful distance.However, the aging problem of the N gas has never been discovered. If it really has such an effect, it is really a remarkable new discovery.Although Ono Shinchu's tone was very flat, Onishi knew he was very excited.No, it's not just Ono, it seems that he has also seen Manager Ogata's joy.Otherwise, he would not have rushed to this deep mountain in person.
The Kiyosato plant is the "keystone" that determines the fate of Nippon Chemical Corporation. It is responsible for the research and development of secret N gas products, so it has always been extremely confidential, and even tried its best to avoid contact with the company.Only Ono sometimes showed up as a person from the company. On the surface, the Kiyosato Plant had nothing to do with Nippon Chemicals, and it was an independent unit.This is the policy set from the very beginning.In order to stand up to the company's decision, all personnel are carefully selected from all Nippon Kasei companies.On this desolate plateau far away from the world, he lived a life isolated from his family and society.The feeling of loneliness and loneliness that seemed to be forgotten by the company gradually penetrated into people's hearts and could not be eliminated.As the leader, Onishi is like this, let alone the young staff under him.At this time, even Onishi was very happy when he got the news that the manager was going to visit.The employees must be excited too.
However, no matter how discreetly the manager wants to come here, it is always very conspicuous.The existence of this secret factory in Qingli must be absolutely avoided from the eyes and ears of the society. The manager's visit to the factory in person is undoubtedly a great risk for the company.Because of this, Onishi was delighted by the urgency of the company leaders, and the image of Kenichi gradually became indifferent in his mind.Xiangzi's earnest plea: "Let us all visit the shrine together on the child's birthday." It was also ruthlessly erased in front of the "big event" of the manager's visit.
Onishi quickly put Kenichi's photo on the table and went to call Deputy Director Murayama.
"Please check as much as possible. Nakai, Takahashi, and Honda who went home for vacation at the end of November, what kind of work did they do last before their vacation? Especially to what extent did they inhale N gas during the operation? Their operations are investigated separately from the surrounding environment." After the loyal Murayama carried out his order and left, the faces of Kenichi and Shoko, the small shrine hidden in the open space at the end of Suginami District, and a family came to mind. The scene of the three of them going to visit the shrine was completely forgotten.Xiangzi's confession is to call back her husband who is only focused on his career, but Onishi's confession to his wife's lonely heart does not listen at all.Xiangzi's letter expresses a wife's desire to tie her husband with her most ardent thoughts.However, it can be seen that whether Onishi is a career fan or a family oriented person does not need to wait until Kenichi grows up.
"Nakai, Takahashi, Honda...and Sadaichi Tabe." Akita crossed his hands and fell into deep thought.
Tabe was transferred from T City Hospital at the end of May last year.At that time, I didn't know the cause of this strange illness. I happened to think of asking Onishi who worked in a company in Wadabe, and I might know something about it.I went to find him, but he was on a business trip at the same time.Onishi did not inform Akita before his business trip because he could not let outsiders know.Before this, Akita did not think about the connection between Tabe's symptoms and Onishi; later, he suspected that there was an internal connection between the two, so he went to visit a big merchant and met Shoko.Under Akita's interrogation, Shoko leaked that Onishi's business trip location was "Yatsugatake Mountain", which is consistent with the "Yatsugatake Mountain" that Tabe said in a coma. "The unknown harmful substance that caused Tabe's disease may be related to Onishi." This suspicion suddenly sprouted in Akita's heart.Moreover, Xiangzi's demeanor at that time was really abnormal. "Where did Onishi go?" "Where did she go on Mount Yatsugatake?" Although Akita asked her repeatedly, pretending to be nonchalant, Xiangzi refused to say anything.Based on this, it can also be seen that Onishi is not just on a business trip.Since then, nearly a year and a half later, Onishi still has no news of returning to the company.
Akita tried his best to inquire about some relevant parties, but couldn't find Onishi's whereabouts.In fact, the employees of Nippon Chemicals would not know.Onishi's whereabouts seem to be hidden in the minds of very few company leaders.This is no ordinary business trip, and it appears to be a promotion or job transfer.So what was he doing in such a strictly confidential place? ...Moreover, there have been cases of three employees of the Nippon Chemical Company since then.Just after Onishi's whereabouts disappeared, it happened that four strange patients were employees of Nippon Kasei Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Akita suddenly remembered another thing: he had gone to Daito Chemical Industry Company in S City, Chiba Prefecture according to the service unit of Honda Toyoji recorded in the medical record card.He took a lunch break on purpose.To do such a thing, you can't use the phone to ask the personnel department.If the other party is on guard, the investigation will be wasted.To this end, he specially spent a day's work.
Daito Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. is a branch of Nippon Chemical Corporation. It has more than 400 employees. It is a fairly large enterprise in S City.The company's headquarters and factory are located in City S, and it mainly undertakes pesticide orders from Nippon Chemical Corporation.During the lunch break, the employees play baseball and volleyball.Akita took the opportunity to find a staff member and inquired about Toyoji Honda, and as expected, he got an answer right away.Since the city was originally small, almost all the people who asked about this company knew Honda.
"Honda has been transferred to work. It was last April, and I heard that he was transferred to the Osaka factory of Nippon Chemical Corporation. What a great promotion, this man has wrists!" They stopped playing baseball and told Akita.From the branch to the important factory of the head office, in their view, it is really a "remarkable promotion".Akita asked some more information and learned that Honda is one of the top "chemical fertilizer experts" in Dadong Chemical Industry Company (the name in Dadong Company for those skilled people who are different from ordinary employees).At the same time, several players were transferred to the Osaka factory together with Honda.The staff here are almost all local youths, and Akita, who claims to be a friend of Honda, said these things without any doubt.He went to Nippon Chemical Corporation's T factory again, using the same method, and got roughly the same answer about Tabe, Nakai, Takahashi and Honda.Since it was said that they were transferred to work, Akita directly called the Osaka factory of Nippon Chemicals, and the answer was that they were not in this factory.
"Then, the four Honda, Tabe, Nakai, and Takahashi all 'transferred' to Osaka in April last year, at about the same time as Onishi's 'business trip'. However, they did not go to Osaka. At the same time , in Daito Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. and T factory, some other people have also been transferred. There is nothing suspicious about this incident. Maybe at this time, Nippon Chemical Co., Ltd. has carried out a large-scale personnel adjustment. .However, the target of the transfer is limited to the personnel of the technical department, that is, the gunpowder and pesticide department. What is going on? Moreover, this series of transfers is carried out very secretly. From what we have learned, in In Factory T and Daito Chemical Industry Company, more than a dozen technical experts in organic chemistry disappeared almost at the same time. After further inquiring, it was found that the factories in the system of Nippon Chemical Company and the whereabouts of the technicians in related offices were It is very mysterious and treacherous. Nippon Kasei must manufacture some kind of product in a secret place, and the manufacture of this product requires a large number of technicians in organic chemistry." Thinking of this, Akita suddenly heard the sound of coming to the clinic for the first time. The delirium uttered by the patient Tabe at the institute, and the later patient Nakai and the others in a coma.The delirium spoken by these four people is not the same. If you listen carefully, you can still tell that they all said these few words: "Yatsuyue Mountain", "Prison", "Spider", "Poisonous Gas".
"Poison gas!" Akita couldn't help shouting, and raised his head in surprise.
With the continuous escalation of the Vietnam War, the order volume of military supplies for the US military stationed in Japan is also increasing.People have long doubted it, especially the leader in the gunpowder industry-Nippon Kasei Corporation, which has undertaken and manufactured the inhumane and notorious weapon used in the Vietnam battlefield-napalm bombs.Since August of the previous year, Nippon Kasei Corporation has ordered a large amount of sulfur from the sulfur mines in Shirane, Manza, and Kokushi in Gunma Prefecture, which further confirms people's suspicions.Onishi, as a rising star of the Central Research Institute of Nippon Chemical Corporation, was keen on the development of napalm bombs.At that time, he had just joined the company and didn't know much about the company's internal secrets.But from his smug and indifferent words and deeds at the time, one can guess one or two.No, this is not speculation. From Shoko, who had a love for Akita at the time, he also heard about the fact that Onishi has become the main backbone of the company and is developing high-performance napalm bombs.At that time, Onishi didn't understand that Shoko was in love with Akita in his heart. Like most men in the world who have no love experience, in order to win the favor of a woman, he would be eager to pour out everything about himself, even the content of his work. Also confided to Xiangzi.Among lovers, the one who is passionately pursuing will tell the other more about himself.Therefore, Xiangzi learned a lot about Onishi, which just showed his affection for her; and Xiangzi told all these things to Akita, which also showed her love for Akita.
At the time, Akita didn't seem to appreciate the narrator's affection, but carefully selected some of the things he had heard, and persuaded Onishi in a roundabout way.But at that time, Daxi sneered and replied:
"Inventors only do research. As for how to use the invented things, this is beyond the inventors' knowledge."
"Is a maker completely irresponsible for the use of his wares? No, not at all," Akita thought. "It is true that the use of gunpowder is not only used for weapons. In modern industry, the role of gunpowder is important and indispensable. However, due to the different methods of use, it can bring disasters to human beings and benefit human beings. This seems to be It is a double-edged sword, and the person who makes this "double-edged sword" has to bear the heavy responsibility of strict control in order not to expose the sharp edge that kills human beings. However, enterprises whose only survival condition is to pursue profits If you come to produce this "double-edged sword", which side of the edge will be exposed depends entirely on the profit. In short, whichever side has more benefits, use which side of the edge, rather than using it for the benefit of mankind It is better to use the other side of killing human beings, which will often bring more benefits to the enterprise.
"Right now, since Nippon Kasei Corporation has won the big market of Vietnam and the unprecedented big customer of the U.S. Army, the gunpowder has long been changed from its original use to mass production for new markets. Now, in this 'Vietnamese market' In fact, in defiance of international law, poisonous gas is being released, and it seems that it is all Japanese."
"Poison gas!" Thinking of this, Akita rushed out the words through his teeth.
"Yes, it's poisonous gas. The Nippon Kasei Corporation, which manufactures napalm bombs, will not stop making poison gas bombs. This is not a problem with technology and equipment, but the kind of 'If you don't do it, you will never stop' Spiritual and moral depravity. Moreover, converting the original pesticide production technology and factories to the production of poisonous gas is not troublesome at all. No wonder last April, Nippon Kasei Corporation’s pesticide technicians were transferred, and then there were those strange things. disease, which tells me that Daxi is dealing with poisonous gas."
"What did you do!"
In the mountains, we used to be like-minded friends, but in society, we actually went to study the most hateful thing.We once crossed snow-covered valleys, climbed snow-covered walls, and climbed mountains. On a rope of friendship, we shared countless hardships and dangers.Now, this incomparably sincere friend is going to engage in the production of this vicious and terrible weapon of hell!
Poison gas—this is not just any poison gas, this is a horrible gas that deranges people and destroys white blood cells.My time in the world is short, but I devote all of it unsparingly to the study of this strange disease.Unexpectedly, this illness turned out to be very similar to the terminal illness I was suffering from.And because of this incurable disease, I was about to be forced to go to the end of my life.
The person who developed and produced this poisonous gas is Onishi!He even risked his life for this.
Although they have different understandings of life, they did not expect such a disparity.If it is possible to be desperate just to live in this world, then, in these short few years, my only friend in this world has been unable to be considerate, but the distance between them has become wider and wider.How cruel and ruthless this society is.
What makes Akita even more sad is that Onishi dedicated all his knowledge and talents to make those businessmen who caused death rich, but he himself was insensitive and never awakened. "Da Xi'an Xiong is definitely not this kind of person. We shared the joy of youth together on the high peak with dry climate. At that time, he once described to me the magnificent ideal of becoming the master of organic chemistry in Japan. When the heart is full of longing and youthful anxiety, when looking up at the blue sky through the forest at the foot of the mountain, when sharing the joy of climbing the peak on the top of the mountain with the wind and snow that makes people unable to breathe, when Under the setting sun, when we walked down the mountain full of pride, Da Xi'an Xiong was not such a person at that time, but a young man who loved nature, pursued his chosen career persistently, and was full of enthusiasm. What made him become What about the quality? On the watershed. Yes, it was at that time. To celebrate graduation, the two of us climbed Mount Hotaka. We fell into Hida and The abyss on both sides of Shinshu. Fortunately, the two people were tied by the same rope, and we were supported by the peak. But the hearts of the two people fell into the abyss on both sides of Mt. Hotaka like two raindrops. Never met again."
