Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 113 Murder Technique

Indeed, according to theory, there should be no potassium in this specimen.

But the data show that there is actually potassium in this specimen.

this means……

Wang Zhi immediately tensed up.

Elimination bit by bit, analysis bit by bit, when the final result was presented in front of his eyes, he let out a long breath.

found it.

This is a brand new organic compound.He specifically searched the information and confirmed that no one had ever discovered such a thing before.

Its structure is very complicated, and its molecular formula can be written in a long string.

However, a new problem emerged.

Is this brand-new organic compound, as claimed in the document handed over by the superior, able to enter the blood system through the skin, follow the blood system, break through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, and stimulate the relevant brain regions to cause extreme fear? feeling, even the one who was scared to death?

He couldn't be sure.

At this moment, he does not know the chemical synthesis path of this compound, and cannot synthesize it artificially.If it cannot be synthesized, it is impossible to hold it and test the effect on animals such as mice, rabbits, pigs or monkeys.

Can't test the effect, how can I be sure?
This is a difficult problem.

Of course, there are other ways.This method is to use supercomputers to simulate the phenomena that will occur after this organic compound enters the human body.

But the human body is so complex that even today, no one dares to say that they understand the structure and mysteries of the human body.That is to say, the human body model constructed in the supercomputer is quite imperfect, and it is very likely that there will be a great deviation from reality.

Moreover, even if the simulation is quite imperfect, the supercomputing power required to execute the simulation process is an astronomical figure.Such a huge supercomputing share is simply not something that a biochemistry research institute can apply for and afford.

After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.

"Anyway, this is a breakthrough. The credit for the discovery of a new organic compound cannot be escaped with certainty. It is not my responsibility to apply for the supercomputing quota first."

It was already late at night.He didn't call Director Shi, but just sent an email, calmed down, and planned to go to sleep.

but……

Something unexpected happened to Wang Zhi.

At this moment, it was only 20 minutes before his email was sent out.Director Shi's phone call suddenly came.

"Old Wang, have you discovered a new compound? Need supercomputing power? No problem, just write me an application document, and I'll apply right away."

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, a little unable to react: "Now...it's two o'clock in the morning. As for the computing power, I'm afraid the 'Xinghe' has to exceed at least [-]% of the computing power. I can't apply for this. right?"

The Xinghe supercomputer is considered to be the top supercomputer in the world, and it plays an extremely important role in major scientific projects. Its application for computing power has been queued for three years, and even if it only applies for 0.1% of the computing power, it is not a big deal. It's easy, not to mention that the computing power required at the moment is at least 9%.

"Also! The construction of the simulation model is not an easy task. At least a dozen experts from several disciplines such as biochemistry, organic chemistry, anthropology, and computer science have to be recruited, and it will take a week at the fastest to complete. , this, don’t be so anxious, right?”

Director Shi's words are full of doubts: "You don't need to worry about these. The expert team for building the model will be in place tomorrow, and the superior has specially dispatched about a dozen teams to assist you."

Wang Zhi was taken aback again.

"One day! You only have one day to build the model! Also, if Xinghe exceeds 9% of the computing power, how long will it take for the model simulation to produce results?"

Wang Zhi, who hadn't recovered from the shock, hesitated and said, "Probably...about a week?"

Director Shi said again without doubt: "The superior has spoken. If necessary, the computing power of the entire Xinghe supercomputer will be allocated by you. But you are only given one day, can you do it?"

What the hell!

Wang Zhi was really shocked at this moment.

What kind of noodles is this?What happened?Why does the superior take it so seriously?
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that your title of full professor has already been approved, and I can make the decision this time. If the follow-up experiment is completed well, you will also have an advantage in evaluating the deputy director level."

"Director Shi, tell me." Wang Zhi swallowed hard, feeling his lips were dry and chapped: "What the hell is going on?"

"You don't need to worry about the specifics. Old Wang, you just need to know that among the 21 teams participating in this mission, you are the first to discover a new compound. You have given our institute a big face. Continue later Work hard, come on!"

Wang Zhi was numb at the moment.

He just realized that the team he led was only one of the 21 teams.

There are 21 teams working on this task at the same time, and I am the first to discover new compounds!

After hanging up the phone, he went to the bathroom and washed his face vigorously.

This night, it seems that I can go to bed later.

In the early morning of the next day, a dozen or so hurried teams totaling nearly a hundred people came here.After the brief meeting hosted by Supervisor Shi, there was no time for any politeness, and people immediately threw themselves into work.

When the simulation model was finally built, the computing power of the Xinghe supercomputer was also cleared, and it was waiting for it.After uploading the simulation program and starting it, countless high-performance CPUs and GPUs immediately started running at the Xinghe supercomputing base hundreds of kilometers away.

Because of the rush of time, the simulation process was almost full of loopholes.All kinds of small problems and glitches emerged one after another.Hundreds of experts in various disciplines are waiting in battle, not daring to relax at all.

But fortunately, nothing major went wrong after all.

When the final data appeared in front of Director Shi, he glanced at it, immediately walked into the secure communication room, and made a call.

"Planet Safety Agency? The simulation results are out. The conclusion is that under the current simulation conditions, the probability of the compound meeting the standard is 69.31%."

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Director Shi let out a long breath.Only then did he realize that his back had been soaked through at some point.

At this moment, this almost impossible task has been completed, and the control hall is boiling.Especially Wang Zhi, with an unconcealable smile on his lips at the moment.

He has almost seen his old wife docile in front of him, beat her back as soon as she is asked, stew pig's trotters as soon as she is stewed, and have a good life when she is asked to get wine.

"Comrades, we have accomplished the tasks of the current stage excellently, but it is not time to relax yet!
In the next stage, we will find the artificial synthesis route of this compound, and carry out animal experiments to verify our simulation results in reality!
But the follow-up tasks are not so urgent.Now, everyone go to rest and continue tomorrow! "

……

At this moment, in a special office of Yangyuan City Public Security Bureau, Lu Qingliang's figure reappeared in the video screen.

"The simulation results came out. The conclusion is that the probability that this newly discovered organic compound has the ability to absorb into the brain through the skin and stimulate the human body to produce a sense of fear is as high as 69.31%."

Lu Ming knew that, given the incomplete understanding of the human body's structure and mysteries, how accurate the model simulation is is a very debatable matter.But in any case, this can be regarded as an extremely important evidence.

A proof that is enough to support our own side to continue the speculation on this basis!
Now that nearly ten days have been wasted because of waiting, this conclusion undoubtedly has extremely important significance.

Lu Ming's spirit immediately cheered up.

"Are you sure it is absorbed through the skin?"

"Basically certain. First, the compound was not detected in the air samples at that time, nor was it detected in the lungs of the victims. Second, the simulation showed that the environment in the alveoli would cause the compound to decompose. Although it cannot be 100% Definitely it must be absorbed through the skin, but 100% sure it must not be absorbed through the lungs."

"How long will it take to get more accurate data?"

"That's not sure."

Lu Qingliang shook his head: "There is no chemical synthesis route for this compound yet. Experts are working on it, but no one can say when it will have results."

Zhang Dingshan said: "The current result is enough."

It has to be said that this is the first major breakthrough made by the second action team since the "Haunted House" case.

Until now, people are almost sure about Loushen's method of killing.

That's right, those victims who died in the Binhai Building were not scared to death by the ghosts, but were "poisoned" to death by this compound!
Loushen used some unknown method to put this highly poisonous compound that can cause strong fear in human beings on the skin of human beings, thus achieving the purpose of killing people.

Therefore, the claims of Yan Hai and other businessmen, Master Zhiguang, Zheng Peng and others that they saw all kinds of ghosts in the Binhai Building can be completely overturned.

However, new problems emerged.

First of all, what exactly Loushen exists is still unknown.Second, how did it unknowingly put this highly toxic substance on human skin?

By contact?However, how did it manage to make a place that had no such poison before become highly poisonous afterward?
Moreover, the whole process was under surveillance, without anyone noticing at all.

This highly poisonous, how is it produced?How did you get it?
Although our side has made a relatively significant progress at this moment, everyone feels that the fog that hangs over our side at this moment has not only not dissipated, but has become thicker.
