Chapter 113 Murdering Techniques

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

But the data shows that this specimen actually contains potassium.

this means……

Wang Zhi's spirit immediately became tense.

After eliminating bit by bit and analyzing bit by bit, when the final result was presented before his eyes, he let out a long breath.

found it.

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

Its structure is very complex, and a long list of molecular formulas can be written.

However, a new problem emerged.

Is this brand new organic compound what is claimed in the document handed over by the superior? It can enter the blood system through the skin, follow the blood system, break through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, stimulating relevant brain areas and causing extreme fear. Feeling, even the one who was scared to death?

He couldn't be sure.

At this moment, he did not know the chemical synthesis path of this compound and could not synthesize it artificially. It cannot be synthesized, nor can it be used to test the effects on animals such as mice, rabbits, pigs, or monkeys.

I can't test the effect, how can I be sure?

This is a difficult question.

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.

However, 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. In other words, the human body model constructed in the supercomputer is quite imperfect and is very likely to deviate greatly from reality.

Moreover, even if the simulation is quite imperfect, the amount of supercomputing power required to execute the simulation process is astronomical. 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.

"No matter what, this is a breakthrough. The credit for the discovery of a new organic compound cannot be taken away for sure. Please submit the application first. If the supercomputing share application cannot be approved, it is not my responsibility."

It's late at night now. He didn't call Director Shi, he just sent an email, then calmed down and planned to go to bed.

but……

Something unexpected happened to Wang Zhi.

At this moment, it was only 20 minutes at most before his email was sent. Manager Shi's call suddenly came.

"Old Wang, have you discovered a new compound? Do you need super computing power? No problem, you can write me an application document and I will apply right away."

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and was a little unable to react: "Now...it's two o'clock in the morning. What about computing power? I'm afraid I need at least 9% of the computing power of the 'Galaxy' supercomputer. I can't apply for this." Right?"

The Xinghe supercomputer is one of the top supercomputers in the world and plays an extremely important role in major scientific projects. Applications for its computing power have been scheduled for three years. Even applying for 0.1% of the computing power is not a big deal. It’s an easy thing, not to mention that the computing power required at this moment is at least 9%.

"Also! The construction of the simulation model is not an easy task. It requires at least a dozen experts from several disciplines such as biochemistry, organic chemistry, human body science, and computer science to come over. It can take at least a week to complete. , this, don’t be so anxious, right?”

Director Shi's words were full of doubts: "You don't need to worry about these. The expert team to build the model will be in place tomorrow, and the superiors have specially dispatched almost a dozen teams to assist you."

Wang Zhi was startled again.

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

Wang Zhi, who had not yet recovered from the shock, said hesitantly: "About...about a week?"

Director Shi once again left no room for doubt: "The superiors have spoken. If necessary, the entire Galaxy supercomputer's computing power will be allocated to you. But you are only given one day, can you do it?"

Damn it!

Wang Zhi was really shocked at this moment.

What kind of noodles is this? What happened? Why do superiors pay so much attention to it?

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that your title of full professor has been approved, and I can make the decision this time. If the follow-up tests are completed well, you will also have an advantage in being rated as deputy director."

"Director Shi, tell me." Wang Zhi swallowed hard and felt his lips were chapped: "What on earth is going on?"

"You don't need to worry about the specifics. Lao Wang, you just need to know that among the 21 teams participating in this mission, you were the first to discover a new compound. You have greatly improved our research institute. Continued below Work hard, come on!”

Wang Zhi was numb at this moment.

He just found out that the team he led was just one of the 21 teams.

There were actually 21 teams working on this task at the same time, and I was the first to discover the new compound!

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

This night, it seems that I have to go to bed a little later.

Just early in the morning the next day, more than a dozen hurried teams, totaling nearly a hundred people, arrived here. After the brief meeting hosted by Director Shi, there was no time for any courtesy, and people immediately got into work.

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

Because the time was too rushed, the simulation process was almost full of loopholes. All kinds of small problems and glitches emerge in endlessly. Hundreds of experts from various disciplines are ready and do not dare to relax at all.

But fortunately, there was no big trouble after all.

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

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

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Manager Shi let out a long breath. Only then did he realize that his back had been soaked for some time.

At this moment, this almost impossible task was completed, and the control hall was filled with excitement. Especially Wang Zhi, with an unconcealable smile on his lips at this moment.

He has almost seen the beautiful life of his old wife who is obedient to him, beating her back when she is asked to beat her, stewing pig's trotters when she is asked to stew them, and getting wine when he is given wine.

"Comrades, we have successfully completed the current stage of our tasks, but it is not time to relax yet!

In the next stage, we need to find the artificial synthesis route for this compound and conduct in vivo animal experiments to verify our simulation results in reality!

But the follow-up tasks are not so urgent. Now, everyone goes to rest and continue tomorrow! "

…

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

"The simulation results are out. The conclusion is that the probability that this newly discovered organic compound has the ability to be absorbed through the skin and enter the brain to stimulate the human body to produce fear is as high as 69.31%."

Lu Ming knew that at a time when the human body's structure and mysteries were not fully understood, how accurate the model simulation was was highly debatable. But in any case, this can be regarded as an extremely important evidence.

A piece of evidence that is enough to support our side to continue to speculate based on this!

Now that nearly ten days have been wasted because of waiting, this conclusion is undoubtedly of extremely important significance.

Lu Ming's spirit immediately lifted.

"Are you sure it's absorbed through the skin?"

"Basically certain. First, this compound was not detected in the air samples at the 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 is not 100% I am 100% certain that it must be absorbed through the skin, but I am 100% certain that it must not be absorbed through the lungs.”

“How long will it take to get more accurate data?”

"That's not certain."

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 the results will be available."

Zhang Dingshan said: "The current results are enough."

It must be said that this is the first major breakthrough achieved by the second operation team since the "haunted house" case occurred.

Until this moment, people were almost certain of Lou Shen's killing methods.

That's right, the victims who died in the Binhai Building were not scared to death by the ghosts, but were "poisoned" by this compound!

Lou Shen used some unknown method to put this highly toxic compound that can induce intense fear in humans onto human skin, thus achieving the purpose of killing people.

Therefore, the descriptions of various ghosts and monsters claimed by businessmen such as Yan Hai, Master Zhiguang, Zheng Peng and others in Binhai Building can be completely overturned.

However, new problems emerged.

First of all, it is still unknown what exactly Lou Shen is. Secondly, how does it unknowingly put this highly toxic substance on human skin?

Through contact? However, how did it make a place where there was no such poison before become highly poisonous?

Moreover, the entire process was under surveillance and was not noticed by people at all.

How is this highly poisonous drug produced? How did you get it?

Although our side has made a relatively significant progress at this moment, everyone feels that the fog shrouding their heads at this moment has not dissipated, but has become thicker.
