Chapter 994 Murder Is Invisible (Plus 1)
Compared with the University of Chicago, the guards here are much stricter. Such a large group of scientists must be well protected. Just outside the venue where they are meeting, there are more than a dozen policemen with guns and live ammunition. The commanding heights of the roof, as well as snipers.
For any country, scientists are the most valuable asset.
Now, these scientists are determining the future of the United States. They want to build a laboratory here, integrate the resources of several universities, and work together to conduct nuclear bomb research here.
They didn't know that at this moment, just above their heads, in the air passage, a person was crawling gently.
This man's body is very thin, so that he can crawl slowly in the ventilation duct, but there is a burden on his head.
Rubber products, covering his entire face, only the front two lenses let him see what's going on outside, under the mouth, and a large filter canister.
Familiar people will know that this thing is a gas mask!
He was careful every time he moved, without making a little sound, and finally, he stopped, and through a shutter below, he could see the lights below, where a meeting was going on!
Using his rubber-gloved hands, he carefully took out a small bottle from his body, and turned the switch gently. Inside, the colorless and odorless gas slowly evaporated.
He crawled hard again and stepped back in the air passage. It was impossible. He could only continue to climb forward to the room at the corner of the corridor before he could come out.
At the same time, he had to speed up, because the poisonous gas was so powerful that it would kill all the people below in just a few minutes.
During the First World War, poison gas was used on a large scale, and even Hitler was a victim of the poison gas, causing temporary blindness in his eyes.
However, in World War II, there was no large-scale use of poisonous gas, because World War I had already made people realize that poisonous gas warfare is a lose-lose style of play, and even a sudden change in the wind direction will lead to bad luck.
Therefore, no one is devoted to the development of new poisonous gas, and only the islanders have a soft spot for it.
Just two years ago, researchers G. Schrader, O. Ambrose, G. Lüdiger, and van der Linde of Germany's Farben Company first discovered a by-product of a new type of pesticide. It is very toxic, so they named this poison "Sarin" with the 5 letters of the surnames of their 4 people.
Yes, this is the famous sarin gas! It was only during World War II that no one used it, and it was not until after the war that this poison began to be produced worldwide. The U.S. military code name is GB, the Soviet military code name is P-35.
Now, Germany is only used in secret agents, because it is the latest development, even if it is done, there is no direct evidence that it is Germany.
The poisonous gas has been slowly spreading.
Generally speaking, industrially manufactured sarin is light yellow or yellow-brown, and has a fruity fragrance, but pure sarin is absolutely colorless and odorless, killing invisible.
"Since everyone has agreed to establish a laboratory here, then we must be quick." In the conference room, Oppenheimer said: "I propose that the research institutions of several of our universities will be relocated within a month. It will be a paradise for our scientists across the United States, where PhDs are nothing."
After Oppenheimer said these words, everyone present laughed, but at this moment, Oppenheimer felt that he was a little out of breath?
He wanted to continue talking, but he couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then, he felt that the more he breathed, the less he could breathe. His feet were also unstable, and he fell to the ground with a thud. Then, his legs began to violently. twitched.
"Quick, call someone..." Before Oppenheimer's words were finished, he could no longer speak, or in other words, he couldn't breathe at all now.
When he breathed in sarin, the acetylcholinesterase in his body was irreversibly inhibited, his pupils began to shrink, his breathing was difficult, his bronchi were shrinking, and he was involuntarily twitching.
At this time, the others present reacted in the same way. Everyone realized what had happened. They wanted to call for help, but no one could.
In order to protect them, there are guards guarding them outside, but for the sake of secrecy, their rooms are soundproofed. After all, the guards are not completely reliable, at least they can't hear what they shouldn't hear.
But now, this has had the opposite effect. They want to call for help outside, but no one can make a sound!
When sarin poisoning occurs, it will suffocate within a few minutes. It is a nerve gas, and its lethality is quite powerful. Even if it is rescued, this poisonous gas can also cause damage to the nerves, brain and liver, attracting countless sequelae and complications, and eventually people die from this complication.
And now, the people present died painfully and walked quickly...
Half an hour later, Robert's secretary hurried over.
"I have urgent information to notify Secretary Robert." The secretary said, holding a document just sent by the White House in his hand.
A terrifying explosion occurred in one of our own bases, and that base has connections with these scientists!
After checking his documents, the guard let him go, and the moment the door was pushed open, the secretary was dumbfounded.
All the people in the room are dead!
The secretary pulled his legs and rushed inside. As a result, after walking a few steps, he collapsed. The guard outside reacted and quickly put on a gas mask and walked in. Unfortunately, there was no need to call an ambulance.
The entire scene was sealed off, and the FBI agents investigated for several days and failed to catch the murderer, and they didn't even know what kind of poison was in these people.
…
"This is definitely not an accident, this is completely premeditated!" In the White House, one by one bad news came in almost like a revolving beacon, which made all the high-level officials in the United States dumbfounded.
Roosevelt was angry.
When he was awakened from his sleep, it was the Oak Ridge base that exploded, and when he came to the conference room, more murders were reported.
Obviously, this is aimed at the Manhattan Project in the United States. This time, the Manhattan Project is broken, and there is even a risk of miscarriage.
who did it? Not an island country, but Germany! These two countries will not watch the United States develop nuclear weapons.
Wait, how did the US nuclear program leak?
