Please don't misunderstand. NZT-48 was not the 48 series of girl idol groups loved by Heisei trash. Instead, it was from a 2012 movie.
This was a drug that could stimulate the brain's potential.
What was the brain's potential?
In theory, the human brain could remember everything it had seen, heard, and felt.
However, in reality, human memory was the most unreliable thing in the world.
For example, during an exam, the key points and complicated questions were all studied and reviewed before. However, due to memory and brain problems, if one could not answer them, one could not answer them.
Research on the brain's neurons showed that although the utilization rate of the brain was 100%, from the perspective of evolution, the human brain still had potential that could be exploited.
The potential here was not "the brain is only used in part and the rest is idle". Instead, it was "on the basis of fully utilizing it, one can become even smarter".
NZT-48 was a drug that could make people smarter.
It allowed people to extract memories from the depths of their mind at any time and automatically integrate the knowledge in their mind.
By taking this drug, the user could achieve a photographic memory and obtain amazing insight and logical thinking. They could even reorganize some details and information that were not easily noticed and quickly come to a conclusion in their mind.
For example, the thoughts and memories of an ordinary person were like a messy, damp warehouse. Inside, all kinds of memory books were piled up in a messy manner. It was extremely difficult to read anything from them.
After taking the drug, a person's thoughts and memories would become rows of library-like bookshelves. Each memory was categorized and placed in a corresponding position, which could be found at a glance.
However, just like the previous drugs, NZT-48 had significant side effects.
In the original novel, this drug was a reference to drugs. It was a novel that satirized the current North American society.
In the movie, this drug was like drugs that would cause dependence. Once it was stopped, there would be severe withdrawal symptoms.
This included headaches, dizziness, memory loss, and even...
Brain death.
However, this was not a reason to scare Chen Chen off.
Even the drugs in the movie had no side effects. How could Chen Chen not understand that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world?
Moreover, Chen Chen was a biology major. If his specialty matched, he could learn from the protagonist in the movie and develop the corresponding antidote to eliminate the side effects.
With this in mind, Chen Chen immediately turned on the computer and downloaded the entire movie Limitless.
"Ding!"
After more than ten minutes of waiting, the movie was successfully downloaded. Without hesitation, Chen Chen copied it into the USB drive and clicked play —
As the camera zoomed in, the iconic blue eyes of the protagonist, Eddie Mora, appeared on the screen …
Chen Chen pressed on the movie's progress bar and dragged it slowly. Finally, the scene was paused at the scene where the protagonist found his brother-in-law, Vern, and hid a large bag of NZT-48 in the oven.
"It's here!"
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice. At the same time, he reached out his hand toward the screen.
Then, a shocking scene happened …
On the screen, the bag of NZT-48 wrapped in a sealed bag floated into the air and slowly floated toward the camera.
At the same time, Chen Chen's hand seemed to penetrate the screen and approach the other party bit by bit...
With a slight touch, Chen Chen subconsciously clenched his right hand!
When he came back to his senses, there was a palm-sized sealed bag filled with unknown pills in his hand!
Success!
Chen Chen stood up with a bang, his eyes filled with ecstasy.
He looked at the plastic bag in his hand with great curiosity, feeling like he was dreaming!
"Relax, relax. Chen Chen, you still have a lot to do..."
Chen Chen forced himself to calm down and then deleted the USB drive's symbol. When the computer indicated that the USB drive could be removed, Chen Chen dared to pull it out of the computer.
USB drive...
It was only when he saw the USB drive's current state that Chen Chen finally calmed down.
After instantiating an entire bag of NZT-48, the USB drive had become extremely dull. There was not a trace of luster at all. It was like a piece of trash that had been weathered by the elements and abandoned for decades.
Hopefully, it could be recharged...
Chen Chen prayed silently. He touched the pockets of his clothes, but he did not know where to put the USB drive.
Put it in the pocket? The quality of the pockets was so poor. What if it got leaked?
Put it in the closet? What if someone picked the lock?
Hide it under the bed? That was even less safe...
At this time, Chen Chen was like a farmer who had suddenly obtained a treasure. No matter where he hid it, he would feel uneasy.
In the end, Chen Chen simply found some tape and tied the USB drive tightly to his left arm. He only stopped after wrapping it four or five times around it.
After that, Chen Chen started the anti-virus software, deleted all the records on the computer, and turned off the computer.
"Oh right, there's still these..."
Chen Chen took out the notes he had made earlier and the two Pikachu hats. At the same time, he found a lighter in the drawer and got up to go to the toilet.
When he arrived at the toilet, he immediately lit the notes and threw them on the ground. Then, he tossed the two hats into the fire.
Five minutes later, Chen Chen walked out of the toilet. He swept the ashes into the urinal and flushed them down the drain. Once the ventilation fan cleared away the smell of smoke, he would be safe.
Chen Chen touched the bag of drugs in his underwear pocket. Instead of returning to the dormitory, he went downstairs and headed for the Animal Experiment Center.
As a student of the Institute of Sciences of Shangdu Jiao Tong University in Mainland China, although he had yet to specialize in any field, he understood that any new drug had to go through clinical trials.
After all, who knew what the composition of NZT-48 extracted from the USB drive was. Chen Chen was not foolish enough to test the drug on his own body.
He did not have the conditions to conduct clinical trials at the moment, but he could still conduct a few animal experiments.
When he arrived at the Animal Experiment Center, Chen Chen bought eight Kunming mice and a pair of M1 model white mouse cages, as well as some equipment.
With these, Chen Chen did not return to the dormitory nor did he go to the laboratory building. Instead, he went outside the school.
There were too many people in the dormitory and there were surveillance cameras in the laboratory. It was not suitable for experiments.
In the end, Chen Chen took the two cages of Kunming mice and booked a standard room in a hotel not far from the school.
When he arrived at the room, Chen Chen locked the door from the inside. Then, he took out a black marker and numbered the mice in the two cages. Each cage was numbered from 1 to 4. There were two groups in total.
After that, he could begin the experiment.
Chen Chen needed to conduct a toxicity test of the NZT-48 drug on the mice.
The mice Chen Chen bought were pure medical mice. The organ structure and immune response of these mice were similar to humans. Their genome was highly similar to that of humans. Many human diseases could be found in mice.
In short, theoretically, if these mice did not die from taking NZT-48, then Chen Chen would not die from taking it.
First, he sterilized the experimental equipment he bought before taking out an NZT-48 tablet and weighing it. He calculated the dosage for the mice according to his own weight. After that, he mixed it into a solution and diluted it according to the ratio.
After the preliminary preparations were done, Chen Chen took out mouse number 1 from the cage and used a gastric enema needle to inject the NZT-48 solution in proportion to his own weight into No. 1.
As for mouse number 2, Chen Chen gave it twice the dosage. No. 3 gave it three times, and No. 4 gave it four times.
It was the same for the mice in the second group of cages.
After administering the drug, Chen Chen stored the remaining NZT-48 solution in a sealed bottle. Then, he carefully observed the reactions of the two groups of mice.
To Chen Chen's relief, mouse number 4 did not change much even after giving it four times the dosage.
If he had to comment on its reaction, it seemed to be more lively than before...
Chen Chen waited until six o 'clock in the evening. There was no sign of abnormality in the mice in the two cages.
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. At least he could confirm that the NZT-48 instantiated by the mysterious USB drive did not have acute toxicity.
As for chronic toxicity, he still needed to observe it for a while.
Seven days. This was the amount of time Chen Chen expected.
As long as there were no abnormalities in seven days, Chen Chen would begin his journey of cheating.
