In Leon's previous life, Earth, there were all kinds of video games. Among so many games, combat and competitive games accounted for the majority, especially those of the gun battle genre.
From "Life and Death xx", "xx FireWire" to "xx Survival", and then to "xx Elite"... I believe that as long as people like to play games, even if they are not interested in gun battles, they will be more or less affected by the general environment.
I've also played one or two of them.
In these gun battle games, the characters controlled by the players can be said to be "supermen." Normal people will be crippled even if they take a bullet, but these characters can march in an orderly manner despite the hail of bullets. If the player's operating skills are good,
Medical supplies are sufficient, and the character may be able to witness the dawn of victory without dying. While celebrating the victory, there are probably half a catty of bullets in the body...
These characters are not afraid of bullets, and they can resolutely execute orders and go into battle to kill enemies even if they are hit by bullets. This is because they have no consciousness of their own and are entirely controlled by players outside the screen. However, with current technology, it is obviously impossible for players to feel this.
To the pain of being shot (which no one probably wants to feel), players can move the mouse and control the character while drinking Coke.
But now, a new type of stimulant can make people suppress all unnecessary emotions, ignore physical pain, and faithfully execute simple orders like a machine, such as - charge, fire, kill.
When such people appear on the battlefield, they are definitely a terrifying force.
As a price, once stimulants are discontinued, users will feel anxious, irritable, and panicked. In more serious cases, they may experience phantom pain. In short, it is not much different from drug addiction.
If the public knew that such a stimulant was being used in the military on a large scale, not only would there be an uproar in public opinion, but the grassroots soldiers would probably also protest against being made slaves of stimulants. After all, no one wants to
He got addicted to drugs for no reason - even though his superiors would explain that the reaction that appeared like drug addiction was not drug addiction.
Therefore, it is no wonder that "Theseus Life" refuses to support the research and development of this stimulant. Once there is a problem, no, judging from the side effects of the stimulant, even if there is no problem with the drug itself, as long as it is exposed, the entire company will be affected.
Your reputation will be affected.
I don’t know where “Giant Industries” got the courage to do something like this…
"'Giant Industries' naturally does not dare to bring the doping matter to the table." Groka sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of scented tea. "Not to mention off-site factors, this cross-industry behavior clearly violates the Three
The purpose of 'division of labor and cooperation' at the beginning of the establishment of a giant company is that 'Theseus Life' will not tolerate 'Giant Industries' encroaching on its own base."
Li Ang said: "'Giant Industry' wants to occupy the market of the medical industry, so it starts with stimulants and gradually embezzles them?"
"This is just one consideration." Before Groka could answer, Wein answered for her, "The ambition of Titan Industries is greater than you think."
"What?" Liang was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed after thinking, "Could it be... they plan to use this to control the army."
"It sounds unbelievable, but Titan Industries does have this intention." Groka said, "From the time it took over the research and development of that new stimulant to now, only Titan Industries has mastered the production method. If the giants in the army
Most of them have become puppets of stimulants, so in a sense, these armies have become private soldiers of the Titan Industry, and they obtain stimulants that relieve their addiction by taking orders from the company."
"'Theseus Life' originally requested to weaken the addictiveness of this stimulant, but a few years later, under the leadership of 'Tiant Industry', the addictiveness of this stimulant has become further exacerbated compared to the past.
Already."
Liang thought for a while and asked again: "They shouldn't have brought the research and development and production of this stimulant to the table yet?"
"No." Groka shook his head, "Compared with rationing coupons, the production and manufacturing of this stimulant is obviously easier to leave traces. The factory buildings and equipment can explain the problem. Therefore, 'Giant Industry' does not produce on its own territory.
But..."
"The Blood Howler Gang?!" Liang's eyes lit up, "'Colossus Industry' handed over the production work to the Blood Howler Gang!"
The production of this new stimulant is similar to that of red ice, and the Blood Howler Gang has been engaged in privately manufacturing and smuggling red ice. If they slightly change the formula, add some more things, and add some less things, I am afraid that many people will not be able to do it.
Realizing that what was produced in the Blood Howl Gang's small workshop was no longer red ice, but another novelty.
At the same time, Leon also remembered that the middleman Henderson said that the purity and quality of the red ice that the Blood Howler Gang has recently flowed into the market is higher than before, and the Blood Howler Gang's relationship with the 'Colossus Industry' has become increasingly close.
