At first, the experiment made no progress at all; all the money invested was wasted. Not even a sound was heard.
Later, perhaps due to improved living conditions, life expectancy generally increased, but it still fell far short of their expectations.
Just when everyone was about to give up.
Some people saw a news report featuring an interview with a place called Longevity Village.
According to news reports, the people in this village generally live longer than those in other places, with over a hundred centenarians, all of whom are in good health.
Some people say that after staying here for a long time, patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, and even cancer have experienced improvement.
Locals also say that people here rarely go to the hospital.
The people in the lab thought it must be a problem with the local water and soil, so they took people to collect samples. After testing, they found that the mineral content in the water there was indeed different from that in other places.
However, it is still far from meeting their requirements.
So they went to great lengths to find out the secret of the longevity village.
I learned from some elderly people who are over seventy years old that the people here didn't live that long originally.
But one day, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in their lake.
Back then, they didn't have running water, so they always used the water from this lake to wash vegetables and clothes.
Later they discovered that the elderly people in the village were living longer.
Later, the village was connected to running water.
They rarely used water from the lake anymore, so they fetched water to bathe in.
They call it "Wentang".
So this is the secret of the longevity village.
The people in the laboratory began collecting these meteorites from all over the world.
They went unnoticed when we weren't paying attention, but when we started looking, we discovered that there are actually many meteorites all over the world.
Some people are living peacefully in their rooms when a meteorite falls from the sky and destroys their houses.
They began studying the meteorites when they collected them. However, meteorites are radioactive, so the radioactive material in the middle needs to be removed before the minerals contained inside can be studied.
In the living room of Royal River Castle.
Ye Qinchuan told Su Ya everything he knew.
"A meteorite falling from the sky?"
Suddenly, Su Ya had a thought, "Ye Qinchuan, was that stone at the antique market last time the meteorite you mentioned?"
"Yes, that's a meteorite, but it's small. Someone found it."
"And then what happened? Did something happen in the lab?"
"Yes, but this story begins with your family."
"My home?"
Su Ya thought about what Su Qingsheng had done; could it be related to this? That had harmed quite a few people.
"Don't the four great families of Kyoto take turns protecting this laboratory? That time it just so happened to be your family's turn. Then, when your father took you to the laboratory, for some reason someone ran in, which caused the ongoing radiation extraction experiment to be interrupted. The laboratory door was wide open, and the laboratory was full of radiation. The experimental personnel who were there at the time were all exposed to the radioactive material."
After listening to Su Ya's calm analysis, everyone knows that radiation can be dangerous. In hospitals, doctors always make you protect sensitive areas during X-rays, and pregnant or breastfeeding women are prohibited from having X-rays because the radiation is too high. It can cause birth defects. Imagine the damage caused if the laboratory door were suddenly opened, revealing a room full of radiation. No wonder Grandma Yan's husband was getting increasingly ill; his bodily functions had been severely damaged.
"In that case, wouldn't it only be the researchers in those laboratories who had the accident? What about the eight great families and four powerful clans of Kyoto?"
"By then, the experiment had made initial progress, and those people couldn't wait for the research to be completed. They wanted to come to the island to see it."
Ye Qinchuan said.
"It just so happened that there was a problem with the laboratory, and then the whole island was filled with radiation, so those people also suffered damage to their bodies to varying degrees."
Suya added.
"So, this is the real reason why our Su family withdrew from the four major wealthy families. It wasn't because we were too heartbroken and had no desire to manage affairs that we withdrew."
Su Ya thought of her father, Su Qinghai.
In that case, making Su Qingsheng pay 100 million is a bit too little!
He has harmed so many people.
And the punishment for the Gu family was too lenient.
"At that time, your grandfather was missing because of you, your mother was in a car accident, and the family was in a state of chaos, so no one was in the mood to go. My grandfather also couldn't go because of his health. And the Tang family patriarch also couldn't go because of your mother. So we all escaped a disaster."
"How did you know all this? You weren't much older than me back then?"
Suya asked with some doubt.
"My father told me all this. Actually, our Ye family had wanted to withdraw from this experiment for a long time. But at that time, the eight great families and four powerful clans in Kyoto had all signed agreements. It would be very troublesome to withdraw."
"Later, the heads of the eight great families ran into problems one after another, and then they found that their children were also having problems. Only then did they realize the seriousness of the situation."
"What's the problem?"
"If they are a married couple, they can infect each other."
Ye Qinchuan said with some difficulty.
Su Ya understood.
Back then, the people in power were young and vigorous, and probably had more than one wife, so they probably had more than one child as well.
"So what happened next? What was the story behind the white film?"
Then Ye Qinchuan continued, "Do you know that most of China's assets are actually controlled by these people? If something happens to them, it will have a huge impact on China, and the most direct impact will be on the economy."
"So the research institutes in China spent several years developing an inhibitor for them, which is called the 'Little White Tablet.' However, this 'Little White Tablet' needs to be taken long-term, once every quarter."
"Yes, to avoid suspicion, all the wealthy families in Kyoto would receive this little white pill, which was publicly called a health supplement. Later, we found the original group of people from the lab, some of whom had passed away, some of whom were children, and some of whom were still alive. Then, the little white pill would be sent over every quarter."
Su Ya finally understood. No wonder Grandma Yan was so ill that the doctor was about to advise her to give up, but then she received the white pills. After taking them, Grandma Yan recovered quickly, and afterwards, the other party would contact her every quarter to send her the white pills.
Therefore, the compensation that Grandma Yan received at that time should have been from the Su family, that is, her father Su Qinghai.
He must feel guilty. His negligence harmed so many people.
Therefore, the Su family withdrew from the four major wealthy families at that time, partly because they were forced to, and partly because they had no other choice. It is estimated that Su Qinghai had already spent almost all the usable money in the family.
