Sure enough, right after Harvard University published this paper, Professor Parkinson's worst fear came true. Yang Yunhe, who had been in contact, suddenly broke off contact. According to the report submitted by the informant planted in the research institute, Yang Yunhe had not appeared in the cafeteria for a week.
However, Yang Yunhe had not left the research center either. Therefore, there was only one conclusion: the Jiangnan Group, upon learning that Harvard University had also discovered Black Gold, immediately began to suspect Yang Yunhe.
If Yang Yunhe's resolve was strong, he was likely being investigated now. But if his resolve was not strong enough, Yang Yunhe would probably be completely finished.
However, Professor Parkinson had no other options. After all, it was an inside job that exposed Black Gold before Yang Yunhe could be evacuated. What was even more fatal was that although these people had nominally renamed Black Gold as graphene, pretending they had never known this substance was Black Gold.
However, the professor's company had immediately released a research report. In this report, using a series of extremely detailed data and comparisons, they directly informed everyone that the underlying material of graphene and the proprietary five-dimensional chips produced by the Jiangnan Group were the same, thus graphene was the underlying material for the 5-dimensional chips.
This problem, which had plagued the entire academic community for more than a decade, was finally answered at this moment: what material was the Jiangnan Group's proprietary chip made from.
The academic community had spent over a decade struggling with this, only knowing that this material was named Black Gold by the Jiangnan Group. But what Black Gold was, remained an unsolved mystery. Now, the mystery was finally solved: Black Gold was graphene.
Although they did not know what graphene was, and the company's report did not mention the specific preparation method of graphene, it only vaguely stated that it was a material obtained by peeling graphite.
Obviously, this company also intended to treat graphene as a treasure trove, just like the Jiangnan Group.
The subsequent facts proved that this idea was completely correct. As more and more experts and professors came forward to confirm this fact, quickly informing the world that graphene was Black Gold, this small company, whose market value was only less than 500 million US dollars, ushered in the largest single-day increase in its history... no, perhaps the largest single-day increase in the history of the entire US stock market. xxs1
Because the US stock market does not have circuit breaker restrictions like the domestic stock market, the US stock market often records incredibly huge increases. The historical record was set by a pharmaceutical company, which was rumored to have developed a miracle drug to conquer cancer and had the endorsement of many large institutions.
Therefore, on the first day this news was exposed, the company's stock directly soared by 3872%, an increase of nearly 39 times. The price rose from 1.2 US dollars per share to nearly 50 US dollars per share, setting a record that had remained unbroken for 40 years.
However, this company eventually went bankrupt because the miracle drug they eventually produced was a product called Radium Water.
Note that "radium" here refers to the radium from the radioactive element radium, the same radium that caused Marie Curie and Madame Curie to fall gravely ill and meet an unfortunate end in their later years.
It was the 1930s, and research into radioactive elements at that time was very simple and crude. It was believed that this was merely a radioactive element that was not only harmless but even greatly beneficial to the human body.
Therefore, at that time, radioactive elements were met with great enthusiasm and openness worldwide. Even American children's toy manufacturers produced a science experiment kit, a research toy specifically for studying radioactive materials, which even contained a mineral with radioactive elements.
Children who purchased this toy could use this mineral for radioactive detection at any time, play with it in their hands, and even lick it in their mouths. Children, of course, have the notion that everything in the world can be eaten, and they don't mind putting anything that looks edible into their mouths.
It was in this context that a US pharmaceutical company introduced Radium Water, a miraculous product that could treat cancer and strengthen the body.
At the same time, they designed a set of rigorous experiments to prove the efficacy of their product by directly sprinkling Radium Water onto tumor tissue surgically removed from a cancer patient.
As a result, the cancer cells in the tumor actually died off within three days. This decisively proved the potent killing effect of Radium Water on cancer cells. Subsequently, the entire world began to believe that this was a miracle drug for treating cancer, and many hospitals began to prescribe drugs like Radium Water directly to patients.
Furthermore, according to the company, Radium Water could not only treat illnesses, including terminal diseases like cancer, but also greatly enhance the body's physical fitness.
Even a healthy person who drank Radium Water would have the radioactive element radium contained within their body continuously release mild radioactive energy. This energy could recharge aging and dying cells, returning them to a healthy state, thus making the entire person healthy and strong again.
Let's not even discuss whether radioactive energy can truly recharge human cells. Even if it were true, any student of medicine would feel a sense of dread upon seeing this marketing slogan.
This is because the aging and death of cells in the human body are extremely normal. As these cells age and die, a continuous stream of new cells are divided and produced, filling the vacancies left by the aging and dying cells.
It is through this mechanism of cyclical elimination that the human body always maintains a large number of healthy cells functioning.
However, if radioactive elements could indeed restore aging cells to their youthful state, then these cells would naturally not die.
But the problem is that the new cells produced through continuous division are also constantly growing.
If old cells refuse to die and new ones are constantly produced, it would be obvious to anyone that human tissues would undergo continuous proliferation, eventually forming large masses of tissue. At that point, the person themselves would become a giant tumor.
The reason cancer is considered incurable is that a portion of the body's cells lose their ability to die and be eliminated. These cells can then replicate continuously, proliferating indefinitely within the body, eventually leading to the death of the entire body due to insufficient nutrient supply.
Therefore, if Radium Water's claims were true, it would be a miraculous drug that, while treating cancer, would also turn the entire person into a giant cancerous tumor.
In any case, it's hard to know what to say.
The rest, as one could imagine, was that this ludicrously obvious lie would eventually be exposed. Many people who consumed large amounts of Radium Water developed various strange illnesses. Eventually, conscientious medical experts came forward to reveal the harm of Radium Water, and this dangerous substance was banned worldwide. Consequently, the company that saw its stock rise 39 times in one day naturally went bankrupt.
Among those harmed by Radium Water, the most tragic was a wealthy young heir. Because his family was rich, and he firmly believed in the health benefits of Radium Water.
Thus, for the remainder of his life, drinking Radium Water became a daily staple, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
According to investigations, after he started drinking Radium Water, he basically never drank normal water again, only Radium Water. He drank a total of 1400 bottles. As a result, his skin and muscles became like the cream on a cake, appearing normal and beautiful on the surface. However, if one were to gently scrape with a finger, large amounts of skin and flesh could be scraped off.
The radiation remaining in his body was so strong that it caused three household maids and two attending physicians in his family to contract radiation-related illnesses, leading to unfortunate ends in their later years.
After his death, relevant authorities had to use thousands of kilograms of lead to construct a coffin and bury him 10 meters underground to prevent his body from continuing to emit radiation and harm those around him.
However, this was considered a rare specimen. After all, no one in the world could drink 1400 bottles of Radium Water at once like him. This provided immense benefits for investigating the changes in the human body due to radiation exposure.
So, 30 years later, scientists opened his coffin again. They found that even after 30 years, the coffin was still as hot as in summer and continuously emitted radiation.
However, it is worth noting that after the company went bankrupt, it was acquired by another medical company. This company later developed opioid drugs, which are essentially legal narcotics and pain relievers that have caused great harm to countless young Americans.
Therefore, anyone with normal reasoning should never believe that capital has a conscience, nor should they believe that capital can do better than the government. Capital is free, and countries controlled by capital are described as having beautiful happiness, free lives, etc. All of this is nonsense. Capital only wants you to eat coarse food and drink thin gruel, and then excrete gold for them to exploit.
The harm caused by a thousand corrupt officials combined is not as severe as the harm caused by a large capitalist.
One would have thought that such miraculous phenomena as those brought about by Radium Water would not be replicated for centuries.
However, this record was broken this year. As countless people believed that graphene was Black Gold and that this American small company had mastered the Jiangnan Group's core technology, the company's stock set a new record.
At the opening of trading on that day, the company's stock was only 60 US cents per share.
However, by the close of trading that day, the company's stock price had reached nearly 40 US dollars per share, an increase of up to 6666.6666%, which is an infinitely repeating decimal.
