Caesars is no stranger to the junkyard outside its door. When the Ebola virus was raging in Princeton, it was briefly quarantined here.

And the middle-aged uncle here who is obsessed with research and looks dull is also quite good to them.

So after knowing that this would be the experimental site where it needed assistance, Caesar didn't feel too nervous.

I was even really glad in my heart that I made a good decision.

Soon everyone passed through the rusty abandoned cars and arrived at the incompatible clean laboratory in the middle.

At this time, Walter was bored and leaning on the recliner, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Today is a working day, and Walter, who lied that he still teaches in high school, cannot go home.

So even if he no longer has any raw materials, he can only stay here and spend a boring day.

He called this kind of life lying flat.

After all, even if he is lying down, he still has a steady stream of income to draw from.

If his lungs hadn't throbbed from time to time to remind him that he had advanced lung cancer, maybe he would be quite satisfied with this life.

Just like he had been a chemistry teacher in that unknown high school for decades.

He is such a resigned middle-aged man.

However, after he learned that he was suffering from cancer, the first idea that came to him to make money was to sell banned drugs, a hugely profitable thing.

Fortunately, the appearance of Du Wei prevented him from taking risks and doing illegal and criminal things.

But he still felt a little regretful in his heart. Having followed the rules all his life, he actually longed to be wild at the end of his life, so that his journey in this world would be worthwhile.

But spending the last days of my life peacefully seems pretty good now.

Thinking about these trivial matters, Walter turned his head to see how the mice he was raising suddenly saw a group of people walking towards him through the one-way glass. The leader was... Duwei!!!

Walter suddenly straightened up from the recliner, and then hurriedly began to fiddle with the bottles and cans on the console.

After all, having taught high school for decades, he still knows a little about the unspoken rules of career.

It's OK to fish, but don't let your boss see you fish.

No matter how diligent you are, if you let your boss see it, it will be true.

So when Duwei and his team came in, they saw Walter wearing protective goggles and a focused look, using a microscope to observe the unknown liquid on the slide.

Walter, who was so focused, didn't seem to notice that there were many people behind him.

This serious scene made House, a fishing expert, couldn't help but reflect on whether he should be more diligent?

Only Du Wei and 47 noticed the human-shaped groove on the recliner that had just rebounded. If you reach out and touch it at this time, you will definitely feel the residual heat of the human body.

But Duwei is not the kind of person who is picky. Walter has no work to do and it makes no sense for him to sit in front of the console like he is in jail.

So Du Wei didn't say anything, he just shouted in cooperation:

"Hey, Walter, stop it first, I have something more important to announce."

It wasn't until he heard Duwei's cry that Walter turned his head as if belatedly realized, "Ah, there was a cry..."

Then, as if he had just discovered that it was Du Wei, he hurriedly took off his protective gear and showed respect to Du Wei.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Duwei, what are your orders?"

"There's no need to be so respectful, just call me by my first name.

I heard from Eddie that there is a shortage of nzt recently, and even the research progress has been stalled because of it.

So I brought you the new nzt-48."

After Duwei waved his hand, 47 behind him threw a gun storage bag on the ground in front of Walter.

Looking at the black gun storage bag, Walter felt a little confused for a moment.

You must know that nzt-48 packed in a palm-sized plastic bag can last Eddie alone for more than a month and a half.

Now, if this firearm storage bag is filled with nzt-48, it will be enough to last for decades.

Even if there is some loss in research, it will be enough for Eddie to live through the golden age of his life.

Walter opened the gun storage bag with trembling hands. Sure enough, the inside was densely packed with small transparent particles. At first glance, someone with trypophobia would probably faint on the spot.

"This... so much?"

Walter looked at the bag full of nzt-48 and was so shocked that he couldn't even speak clearly.

After experiencing a shortage of nzt, he understood the difficulty of collecting so much nzt. You must know that even Eddie, who had taken nzt-133, racked his brains in order to collect more nzt during the half month.

Even so, the nzt-48 that was finally delivered was barely enough for Eddie to use.

Because of the addictive nature of these nzts, most people will regard them as treasures, and only corpses will honestly hand over nzt-48.

The manufacturer behind nzt has always been very mysterious, and even Eddie has difficulty finding any clues about them.

But looking at the current situation, Du Wei has obviously taken over one of the opponent's lairs, otherwise there would never be so many nzt-48s in front of him.

Just when Walter thought the matter was over, Duwei took Caesar's plush arm and brought the orangutan wearing a T-shirt with a cartoon gorilla head in front of Walter.

Just when Walter was puzzled, Duwei explained:

"This is Caesar. When the Ebola virus was raging, he was isolated in your place for a period of time.

I think you still remember it?"

Walter nodded, still not understanding what Duwei meant.

Of course he remembered the orangutan who could only talk smoothly to people. Even though it had some problems with enunciation at first, after a brief exchange, it successfully acquired an American Princeton accent.

This kind of learning speed is simply astonishing to Walter, and he will naturally never forget this special orangutan.

"Then aren't you curious why it is so smart?"

After hearing Du Wei's question, Walter realized belatedly that the point Du Wei wanted him to focus on was why orangutans became smart.

It's just that at that time, he was busy testing the effects of nzt-133, so he really didn't have the energy to explore this matter.

But now that Du Wei has mentioned it again, it is obviously related to the nzt he is studying.

Orangutans don't become smart for no reason, so there must be some unknown operation behind this abnormal thing.

"Could it be that it also took nzt?"

Regarding Walter's speculation, Duwei just smiled and did not deny it...

To be honest, no one under his command is stupid, except for Eddie who is not on medication.

Walter was extremely close to the truth with only some vague information, which can only be said to have an extremely keen sense of smell in chemistry.

Seeing Du Wei's acquiescence, Walter's already shocked expression froze even more, and he sighed:

"It's true, but why didn't Caesar have any side effects that nzt should have?

It looks more like the state when nzt is cured.

Could it be that nzt can really be permanently cured?"

As he spoke, Walter fell into deep thought, which was undoubtedly a great inspiration for his research direction.

But Duwei quickly interrupted Walter's thinking.

"Don't think too much about this. If the energy system of the human body is not replaced, it is destined to be unable to support permanent solidification nzt.

Therefore, nzt can only take effect one time at a time.

The reason why Caesar has no side effects is because it does not use nzt that breaks the upper limit of human IQ.

It uses alz-112, which can break through the upper limit of primate IQ.

Orangutans and humans are just on the same evolutionary path

Just two branches on the road.

It turns out that the path taken by the orangutans was wrong, so now it is humans who dominate the earth.

But the brains of orangutans are not much different from human brains, they just develop much slower than humans.

All alz-112 does is delay the activation time of the zeb2 gene so that the neural progenitor cells mature in the same time as the human brain.

In other words, it puts the orangutan's brain back on the correct evolutionary path.

So Caesar just lifted his original restrictions and restored his human IQ. It doesn’t need to consume other things as a price for acquiring intelligence, so how can it have side effects?”

After listening to Du Wei's explanation, Walter still thought hard for a while, and finally had to admit that Du Wei was absolutely right.

Caesar is just restoring his supposed intelligence. What are the side effects of this?

What they use nzt-48 to challenge is the upper limit of human IQ. In other words, nzt-48 uses operations similar to overclocking to make humans display their IQ that they should not have.

In this case, damage to the body is naturally inevitable.

What Walter had done before was to bring this kind of damage into an acceptable range for humans, rather than causing permanent damage to the human body and eventually leading to death.

Walter couldn't help but laugh at himself when he thought that he, a person who almost won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, could not see it as clearly as Duwei, an outsider.

It seems that during the boiling-frog days of teaching in high school, a lot of the talent he was once proud of has disappeared.
