Taking a deep breath, Steven sorted out his thoughts and slowly began to narrate.

“First of all, from the Golden Apple Project, you may feel what you hear next is obscure, but it is true. The experiment on Golden Apple can be traced back to the Freemasonry’s discovery of extraterrestrial civilization during World War II…”

Jiang Chen raised his hand and stopped him. “You don’t have to tell me the background of the Golden Apple Project. We know what the Golden Apple is for. It is used to communicate with an extraterrestrial civilization, right? But as far as I know, your research has not progressed.”

“We really have no progress with extraterrestrial civilizations,” Steven stressed. “But it does not mean we have no progress in other areas.”

“Such as?”

“For example, I found this in the research institute.” As he made up his mind, Steven took a deep breath and slowly took out a box of cigars from his pocket. “This is a research report.”

Jiang Chen watched him take out and slowly unfold a piece of paper rolled into a cigar.

Looking at the crumpled paper, Jiang Chen moved closer. Although he could not understand academic reports, from the first few lines, he understood the abstract of the report.

And his nonchalant attitude turned more serious.

“The interference of the brain wave resonance effect on the nervous system?”

Steven nodded and patiently explained to Jiang Chen the contents of this report.

“In short, it’s brainwashing. You know, we’ve accidentally discovered a very interesting phenomenon when we used the embryonic stem cell-induced differentiation technology to find a more efficient production method for Golden Apples… First, I have to clarify that I’m not involved in the follow-up experiment—”

“You don’t have to worry, keep going.” Jiang Chen raised his hand and stopped his statement, indicating for him to focus on the topic at hand.

Steven took a deep breath.

“We studied brain extract and found that if the brain extract is exposed to gamma rays, the cells will differentiate into a special substance while rapidly decaying and attenuating.”

“A special substance? What kind of special substance?” Jiang Chen frowned.

“It’s similar to what we’re looking for in the brain extract, but there are a few differences.” A terrified expression appeared on Steven’s face. “We were close to the results. If these substances can be modified slightly, the cost of producing Golden Apples will be reduced by several factors. However, a hypothesis was proposed that this special substance may be related to the mechanism of excitement…”

“Be more specific.” Jiang Chen reminded him.

“The point is the hypothesis suggested by that person. The administration approved the sub-topic research and provided us with human subjects for the experiment. After the experiment, most of the subjects died because of brain death or excessive excitement induced in the brain, but a small number of people survived. And among those who survived, we summed up the results and reached a conclusion.”

“When a certain dose of radioactive material is used to stimulate a specific area of ​​the brain, it can interfere with cognition. For example, we succeeded in getting a certain subject to believe that he is a goat…”

“I’ll take this report.” Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Jiang Chen picked up the report and immediately stood up. “Please stay here for a while, I will get someone to bring you a card. There is 10 million XND in the account.”

Steven stopped, then argued, “I am not doing this for the money—”
