Chapter 1866 As expected of a BUG-level scientist

"What?! Dr. Kaji and Dr. Aoyama have been diagnosed with depression?!"

As the sunlight streamed into the hotel room through the window the next day, Gu Chen, who had just finished washing up, received a call from Yi Chuguanghong from headquarters.

"Yes, so far neither of them has shown any suicidal thoughts, but they have shown obvious signs of depression and social withdrawal."

On the other end of the communicator, Mitsuhiro Ichika's tone was unusually serious, which showed just how serious the situation was for Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama.

"What exactly happened? How did they suddenly become depressed and withdrawn?"

Gu Chen frowned deeply. For a moment, he even wondered if this was the work of the Dark End.

"I suspect this might be because their experiments were successful."

Upon hearing Yi Chuguanghong say those words, Gu Chen's expression clearly froze for a moment.

What does this mean? Does the successful experiment lead to depression and social withdrawal? Is this correct?

"I will be right back!"

Still unable to figure out what was going on, Gu Chen decided to go back to headquarters.

A short while later, Gu Chen explained the situation to Hayata and the others, then hurriedly got into Hoshino Isamu's car, which had arrived shortly before, and sped back to the UGM headquarters.

As soon as Gu Chen got out of the car, he saw Yi Chuguanghong waiting for him in the parking lot.

"How are they doing now?"

As Gu Chen walked quickly toward the medical department, he asked Yi Chuguanghong.

"We are still observing the situation, and so far there has been no indication of any deterioration."

Yi Chuguang shook his head slightly, his face devoid of any smile.

Soon, Gu Chen and Yi Chu Guanghong arrived at the medical department and saw Kaji Yoichi and Dr. Aoyama, who were completely lifeless.

"Where's the inspection report?"

Seeing this, Gu Chen looked at Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama through the glass while extending a hand.

Ichika Mitsuhiro immediately placed the examination reports of Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama into Gu Chen's hands.

Gu Chen quickly flipped through the documents and soon saw that both Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama had severely low serotonin levels.

Then, Gu Chen asked, "What kind of experiments were Kaji and Dr. Aoyama doing?"

Ichika Mitsuhiro immediately responded: "About the experiment with repetitive energy weapons."

Gu Chen frowned immediately: "How did it get to this point?"

“Sigh…” Ichika Mitsuhiro sighed softly, then said, “This all starts with Kaji’s latest concept for repetitive energy weapons. Advisor, let’s go to their laboratory together.”

After saying that, Ichika Mitsuhiro led Gu Chen toward the laboratory where Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama had previously conducted research.

On the way, Mitsuhiro Ichika continued, "After Kaji failed in his attempts to develop new weapons using new materials to target negative energy, he changed his approach."

He thought that since negative energy is essentially an aggregate of negative emotions, could an aggregate of positive emotions be developed to serve as a weapon specifically targeting negative energy?

"So, he contacted many authoritative experts in biology during this period to discuss and eventually created a 'positive energy extraction machine'."

"Perhaps taking a chance, Kaji didn't follow the reporting procedure for the experiment and directly used himself and Dr. Aoyama to conduct the experiment to verify the performance of that positive energy extraction machine."

"From the results, they succeeded, but the price they paid was quite high."

As he spoke, Ichika Mitsuhiro led Gu Chen to the laboratory where Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama were conducting their experiments.

On the experimental table, the device named the Positive Energy Extraction Machine sat quietly, while the experimental data on the table were simply organized.

The moment Gu Chen saw the positive energy extraction machine, he sensed something and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He could sense that the machine in front of him stored positive energy, which was the complete opposite of negative energy.

Although the content is extremely low, the energy fluctuations it emits are indeed positive energy, without a doubt.

Gu Chen never expected that Kaji Yoichi would actually bring out the positive energy that did not appear or even mention in the original plot.

This was far beyond Gu Chen's imagination.

At the same time, isn't Yoichi Kaji's research ability a bit too over-the-top?!

"I have to say, Kaji's research capabilities are really too strong."

As Yi Chuguanghong walked to the positive energy extraction machine and organized the experimental data on the table, he couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen also came to his senses, walked over to Yi Chuguanghong, took the experimental data from his hand, and immediately began to look through it.

A moment later, Gu Chen put down the experimental data in his hand, then took out his communicator, dialed a number, and said, "Meng, there are special circumstances. I need you to come to headquarters."

"Okay, I'll have someone pick you up."

The call ended immediately, and Gu Chen dialed the number again.

Before long, Sakata Jiro drove the UGM tank away from headquarters at breakneck speed and sped towards the ski resort.

Soon, Yashiro arrived in a hurry.

"Consultant, is there something you need?"

Ya's first words were spoken immediately, his tone revealing a hint of ease.

It seemed that Gu Chen's communication had temporarily freed him from his misery.

"Look at this."

Gu Chen nodded, then handed the experimental data to Ya Demeng.

Yagi took the documents with curiosity and began to look through them.

Then the more he looked, the wider his eyes widened.

Once he finished reading the experimental data in his hand, he couldn't take his eyes off the positive energy extraction machine.

This is so positive!

That's a special energy that even the Land of Light has never encountered before, and yet two Earth scientists managed to discover it?!

Doesn't this mean that Yoichi Kaji and Dr. Aoyama's research capabilities are comparable to, or even surpass, the Space Technology Development Bureau of the Land of Light?!

"Advisor...this..."

Thinking of this, Yi Demeng couldn't help but turn around and look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded and then said, "It should be a success, but the side effects are too great. Kaji and Dr. Aoyama are still hospitalized in the medical department for observation."

Upon hearing this, Yato Takeshi's expression immediately changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Side effects?! Hospitalization for observation?!"

Upon seeing this, Yi Chuguang explained, "Because they used this machine, it caused serious emotional problems for them. They have been diagnosed with depression and autism."

"If the situation continues to worsen, he may have thoughts of self-harm or suicide."

"Even without it, if the depression worsens, it will have a huge impact on their physical and mental health."

"In that case... they will very likely be unable to continue their scientific research work."

"Even daily life..."

When it came to leaving, Mitsuhiro Ichika hesitated to speak.
