Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 213 Fallout Monster Production Line

In the eyes of those damn capitalists, the only thing they can see is their own interests. They don't care about the natural environment or human safety at all... In the words of a famous scholar in the old era, it is "capital Come into this world, from head to toe, dripping blood and filth from every pore."

In fact, there were many solutions to the wastewater problem. Whether it was digging deep burials or electrolytic purification, any solution was more appropriate than directly discharging it into the ocean... But for those people, the reason why these solutions were rejected There is only one: the cost is too high.

They don't care what the consequences will be after the ocean is polluted... Anyway, the people who mutate due to radiation have nothing to do with them. They live in mansions with complete security measures. Rushing out of the radiation area will not pose any threat to them.

While they advertised to the outside world that the seafood produced in Fudao Island had no problems, and that the radioactive waste water could meet drinking standards after purification, they secretly enjoyed the food and water that had been airlifted from pollution-free areas and had undergone multiple tests.

Their safes are full of precious metals, and their bank accounts are a long list of numbers. For them, the life and death of ordinary people is not a matter of concern at all... Anyway, when they are still holding power and wealth , these changes will not affect their lives.

At the beginning of the accident, in order to keep the reactor worth hundreds of millions, the power company was reluctant to pour seawater into the core for cooling... When the accident escalated and the reactor was completely scrapped due to the explosion, they withdrew again in order to avoid responsibility. All the staff were wiped out, leaving only dozens of "temporary workers" without a formal establishment to put on a show in front of the whole world.

Many of these people owe usury and are unable to repay it, and they have to work hard for it. They don't know how to repair the exploded reactor... Things have been delayed again and again...

Until ten years later, the core deep in the ground was still burning, and a large amount of polluted cooling water was increasing day by day. However, in order to save land and costs, the power company decided to discharge all the waste water into the sea!

And what they said about it was: "We really can't help it..."

But in fact, in the past ten years, not only has their company not lost money, but their financial reports have continued to rise year after year—they even used the loss of nuclear power plants as an excuse to significantly increase the electricity price for ordinary people's household electricity, so as to pass on the cost...

If the beasts who did these things were in this era, they would have been sentenced to death for crimes against humanity.

Ke Lan walked along the edge of the rotunda, and glanced at the ghouls in every glass tube—these specimens were obviously specially selected by the Arasaka Consortium, almost all of which had highly aggressive mutated organs. As for their purpose in doing so, it is self-evident.

"Why do they have samples of ghouls that were more than 1000 years ago on Earth? I remember when the Ark set sail, every inch of space was precious, how could it be possible to bring these things?" Ke Lan asked Victoria.

"...they found an excuse." Victoria pressed her fingers near her temples—on the side of her brain, a microport was installed, connected to the large-capacity data storage embedded in the prosthetic body, allowing him to The required data and information can be mobilized.

"What excuse?" Ke Lan continued to ask.

"Research on radiation sickness and treatment options, as well as the evolution and mutation of human genes... After all, what humans wanted to face at that time was an unknown universe, and radiation and mutation are an unavoidable problem in the future, so this proposal will soon be It was approved... It turns out that these specimens have indeed played an important role in the research of radiation sickness. The radiation-reducing medicines you just took were developed based on these experimental data... It turns out that these ghouls The samples are all stored in the freezer of the research institute...The Arasaka Foundation submitted a written application to the research institute for borrowing samples on the grounds of developing new anti-radiation drugs [-] months ago..."

"There is obviously a problem with this application..." Ke Lan pouted, and said with some disdain, "The key development area of ​​the Arasaka consortium is not in the field of medicine at all, and the pharmaceutical companies under them all produce products with little technical content. The market share of medical consumables is pitifully small...Why do you dare to get involved in the most cutting-edge medical research and development field? Besides, these ghoul samples have a history of more than 1000 years. If it is true In order to study anti-radiation drugs... There are so many living cases among Leviathan retired miners and field troops who are not studied, but to study these mummified corpses from the old era? I suggest that your security bureau check the relevant personnel who have passed this application , if these people are okay, I will cut off my tongue for you."

"Don't cut it, there are indeed two senior researchers who have accepted bribes from the Arasaka consortium, and they have already been disposed of—but the R&D project of the Arasaka consortium's new anti-radiation agent has been established, and no problems have been found in the follow-up investigation...More In addition, these ghoul samples are of little value in the eyes of the authorities, so the matter was over at that time." Victoria's tone was obviously regretful, but she had already felt a trace of regret at that time. Something was wrong, but because she was not responsible for this matter, and she had a more important task at that time, so she didn't go into it...

"I know where these radiations come from, and I also know what the Arasaka consortium wants these ghoul samples for... Look here—" Ke Lan has already walked to the center of the rotunda, pointing to the ground ——The floor here is a huge oval tempered glass. Through this "observation window", you can see that there is a huge "underground space" under this hall.

In this underground space, there are countless chairs made of lead. These chairs are covered with blood-like filth, and even a few lead chairs are tied with a few mutilated corpses in a miserable death...

These lead chairs are divided into dozens of "sections" by thick lead plates, and different radiation sources are set in each section—some radiation sources come from nuclear waste in industrial areas, while others are directly Radioactive minerals brought back from outside the Ark.

"...What a bunch of inhuman beasts." Ke Lan couldn't help but say.

[PS is carrying private goods again. I have been a bit irritable these days. I just brushed up a related question on Zhihu today. In the answer, there are a bunch of official accounts with the label "study in Japan, work" there to wash the devils Oh, by the way, there is a group of banana people licking it and double-standards saying that our domestic network is very hostile. As a result, I commented on "interest related", and a group of people stepped on the fold and blocked it for the reason of insulting and slandering... ...However, after Xidi commented and reported it, he didn't deal with it at all, and was instantly disappointed with the Zhihu platform... and could only vent his anger by cursing Dongdian in his book...]
