Chapter 16 Improving NZT48 (Part 1)
In the "Never Endless" plane, under the leadership of Fonu, Wei Ran got the other NZT-48 hidden by Fonu. There were a lot of them, about five times the amount Wei Ran found in Fonu's kitchen. With Wei Ran's strange expression on his face, Fonu told the truth.
It turned out that Fonu had to borrow 300,000 yuan from Jige and the other two because of an accident, but was unable to repay it. Fonu happened to be working in the laboratory where NZT-48 was researching and producing NZT-48, so he had the idea of NZT-48. He stole part of the NZT-48 in the laboratory without stopping.
"After stealing NZT-48, I originally planned to sell it for a good price to pay off my debts. You can't imagine how popular NZT-48 was at the beginning. But I dare not sell it in large quantities to those upper class people who need NZT-48. These people will pay you when they need you, but when there is a problem with their physical problems, it is time for trouble, so they can only sell it in scattered. In this way, I sold about a few hundred pills per pill. I just made some small money, but the three bastards of Jig took away most of my hard-earned money." Fonuo complained. After getting to know him, he found that Wei Ran was not as terrible as he thought, and he would occasionally joke with them.
"You are so stupid. You sell NZT-48, which is even more 'heat' than drugs, but you make less money than drug dealers in Mexico. Why don't you rely on NZT-48 to make money, just thinking about selling it to make some money?" Wei Ran mocked Fonu's rigidity.
"Boss, you may not know that NZT-48 has very big side effects." Fonu hesitated for a moment, and said, "No one who uses it too much will end up with any good consequences. In the end, it will definitely be a disease, which will make your body very bad, and most people who rely on it will die. My sister is the victim. She can't even concentrate at the minimum, but fortunately, God guarantees it, I did not lose her because of it."
“A lot of people who use a lot are dead?”
"No, I'm not saying it's all, it's a lot."
"What is the approximate proportion?"
"Maybe more than 90 percent." Fonu was a little unsure.
Wei Ran took a deep breath and he had already guessed as much as possible about the side effects of NZT-48, but he didn't expect that it would be far beyond his guess. It seems that he would use the time he took NZT-48 to improve NZT-48 and reduce the number of NZT-48 used.
The laboratory where Fonuo worked was easy to find, but what Wei Ran didn't expect was that NZT-48 had stopped production. Wei Ran only spent one million US dollars to buy NZT-48's production technical materials easily.
After paying the money, Wei Ran realized that NZT-48 was stopped because of its side effects. Anyone who knew the side effects of NZT-48 was no longer willing to use it. The people who sold Wei Ran technical information were from the people inside this laboratory. There are three laboratories like this that produce and research NZT-48 in New York City, belonging to the same boss.
The suspension of NZT-48 directly affected the income of the laboratory staff, and Wei Ran's arrival gave them the opportunity to earn extra money.
Wei Ran knew the result a little incredible, but then he understood after listening to Fonuo's explanation. It turned out that the bosses of these three laboratories were the original inventors of NZT-48. Now NZT-48 has been so big that the upper class of society who have taken NZT-48 have suffered heavy casualties. How could he still be happy?
After the NZT-48's basket was exposed, the unknown inventor of NZT-48 disappeared completely. Perhaps it was because of a rich man or a senior official who was retaliated against, perhaps because he was arrested by the government, or it might have discovered something wrong in time and ran away completely.
NZT-48 itself does not have a production license from the Drug Administration, and there is no so-called patent. Strictly speaking, NZT-48 is more harmful than drugs. It is like a key to open Pandora's magic box. Just think about it, if many people on Earth took NZT-48 and learned a profound knowledge for a few days, then everyone began to speculate and pray for wealth, or were used by people with intentions to do all kinds of damage, such as using hacking technology to destroy the network environment and commit technical crimes, wouldn't this world be completely messed up?
The government will never give patent protection when inventing a new drug, let alone NZT-48, which is more harmful than drugs.
Moreover, since the inventor of NZT-48 disappeared, the production technology of NZT-48 has been spread, and confidentiality work is no longer so important. It is a very cost-effective transaction to hand it over to Wei Ran. There is no need to worry that someone will hold them accountable.
After listening to Fonu's explanation, I wanted to say, "Is this OK?"
The NZT-48 technical data that I thought was difficult to obtain was easy, and things went much smoother than expected.
In "Never End", it costs money to build a base, and it costs money to find a laboratory to study NZT-48. It costs money to raise a group of younger brothers to help with things. Wei Ran took the jewelry, bricks, etc. from the "Bank Robbery" plane to this plane for sale.
The base is not in a hurry, and finding a laboratory to study NZT-48 is the most important thing.
In order to reduce the side effects of NZT-48, try to take NZT-48 as little as possible. Wei Ran changed the oral NZT-48 to intravenous injection, which maximized the effectiveness of NZT-48.
It took two weeks for Wei Ran to learn all the knowledge that helped improve NZT-48 in the "Never End" plane, such as biology, chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, etc. that could help improve NZT-48. Wei Ran found that the biotechnology of this plane is more advanced than that of the main plane, and his time travel also had a huge mistake.
Through comparison, the organisms in the "Never End" plane are not 100% the same as the main plane. During the learning process, Wei Ran found several viruses and microorganisms that do not exist in the main plane. Conversely, the main plane also has viruses and microorganisms that do not exist in the "Never End" plane.
Every time Wei Ran travels through time, it is not disinfected, and every time he travels through time, it may carry these viruses and microorganisms that can reproduce wildly in strange environments. This is a very terrible thing, just like the normal flu for Chinese people, it is a very fatal disease when it spreads to white Europeans. If Wei Ran travels through the world of Resident Evil and accidentally brings the T virus to the main plane, the joke will be huge, and some regret medicines are not to be taken.
Every plane is a precious wealth, but if the plane is broken, you can find it again. If the main plane is damaged due to Wei Ran's negligence, it will be gone.
In a blink of an eye, four months passed, and the time spent in "Never End" was longer than all Wei Ran traveling across the planes before.
Wei Ran's persistence in improving NZT-48 is already in a state of madness, and there will be rewards if he pays. With the help of the protagonist Eddie, the researcher who helped him to help, and a large number of experimental subjects, Wei Ran finally understood NZT-48 thoroughly and improved it.
The function of NZT-48 is very simple. It is not as magical as imagined, but its function is the finishing touch to make magical things happen.
Humans have about tens of billions of brain cells, each brain cell has about hundreds of brain nerves, each nerve has about hundreds of synapses, each synapse has hundreds to thousands of proteins, the function of a brain cell is about equivalent to a large computer, and the function of a synapse is about equivalent to a chip of a computer. It can be simply calculated 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 people can store 100 trillion pieces of information in their lives based on memory.
The largest parallel computer in humans, the United States' White Strategic Acceleration Computer (WhiteASCI), is only 8,000 chips, which is about 100 million times different from the human brain, which is 8 to 9 orders of magnitude.
Since the brain is so powerful, why don’t we feel it?
In fact, the brain is cleverly divided into two parts for some reason: conscious and unconscious. Among them, only 10% to 20% are used; the unconscious part accounts for 80% to 90%, and none of them are used. This is what we often say, "Our brain only uses 10%.".
Until now, most people still believe that the human brain is only developed 10%, which is actually just an absurd fallacy.
There are multiple reasons why the absurd statement of "10%" is not credible. First, brain imaging exploration techniques, such as X-rays, magnetic resonance, etc., have clearly shown that most areas of the brain are not in a latent state. Although some simple activities may only use a small part of the brain at a time, those very complex activities or thinking patterns require the use of a large part of the brain. Just as people do not use all muscle tissue at once, the brain does not call all parts of the brain at once. Some exercises, such as eating, watching TV or reading, can be completed by using some special functions of the brain. However, all parts of the brain may be used throughout the day during different activities.
