The Left Roof, A Walk through the Mysterious World, Chapter 1, Episode 3

Episode 2

10:30 a.m. the next day

Defence communities and health ministries belonging to different nations from all over the world, gathered today in the city of New Jersey as many important documents are going to be exchanged between them. Two of the top competitors who will be introducing their chemical products to the guests assembled were DCL’s Uthen and his archrival Leebrian of the company FIECC.
Greeting everyone in the meeting room, Uthen started to describe his new product. "I proudly introduce to you my latest invention, Kulapus Neo. This is one-of-a-kind electrochemical chip that can be easily inserted into your cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem, which are the three most important parts of a human brain. We are already aware of the fact that the cerebral cortex present in our cerebrum plays a vital role in our daily lives in being cautious, making decisions, having an opinion, staying focused, general awareness, languages that we use, etc. Usage this chip increases the capacity of the cerebral cortex by 25% more in an average human.
"This chip is manufactured on the basis of a new formula called Y2Y, hence making this chip into the size of a yoctoparticle, and its absorbing capacity to store a wealth of information is equal to that of one yottabyte. We are also aware of the fact that it is the neurons in our brains that help the nervous system to communicate and transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells. There are almost 100 billion neurons in our brain, and our single package of this chip contains close to 150 billion chips, which increase the performance of the cerebral cortex by an additional 15%.
"Kulapus Neo helps you in remembering every tiny thing that you performed yesterday or even thought of doing. This electrochemical chip, when inserted in the brain, will try to keep you away from all kind of illnesses in your brain."

"Could you please elaborate in a clearer and simpler way?" One of the ministers of the health department interrupted.
"Now imagine this," Then Answered. "If any part of your body is hurt, we inject this chip into your brain as well as into the damaged part of the body. This chip is absorbed into your body, and then it closes your bruises and acts as a replacement for that part. Eventually, the damaged part of your body works better when compared to that of an average healthy adult.

"For example, Mr Leebrian, if you happen to lose your eyesight for any reason, then this chip will act as the retina, cornea, pupil, or iris of your damaged eye. Moreover, you’ll have better vision compared to others."

"Impressive Mr. Uthen! Now Please tell us what happens when we inject this chip into an average human body." one of the officers in the room asked.

"Sir!" very patiently he answered, "first of all, this chip isn’t made for a normal person. We have yet to decide if this chip can be used for the cause of the army or medical science or our educational sector so that we may be able to nurture more intellectual students in the near future.
"I now seek your permission to take this chip into its final stage as it is near completion. I let you gentlemen decide as to which sector this chip can be used best. Lastly, after knowing the most important factor of this chip, you’ll rise from your seats in amazement."

Just then, Uthen receives a phone call from Alfred.

"Hello Dad, I got to share something vital regarding our old house."
"Son, I’m in an important business meeting right now. I’ll call you later."
" Listen Dad, it won't take too long."
"Alfred, try to understand." Uthen makes a pressure, "I’m in the middle of an important meeting here."
"Dad, why don’t you understand what I’m trying to say? I need to tell you something about our old house."

"Shut up" Uthen in an angry tone, "I’ve said a thousand times that I’ll explain everything once we win the case."
Saying this, Uthen ends the call. "I apologise . . . and yes! As I was saying, the most important factor of this chip is that if it will be injected into a person and if that person dies for any reason, then this chip can be taken out of his brain. And we will be able to read all the past, present, and future activities that were stored in his mind.
"In the same way, this chip can be injected into a scientist. And after his death, we can remove it and insert the same chip into a different scientist’s brain. Then their research-based calculations will be doubled. Henceforth, we will be making advance progress in the field of science."

All the government officials rise and give a standing ovation to Uthen except for Leebrian. Then the chief of the International Weapons Control Committee asks Leebrian, "Do you have a similar or better electrochemical chip that can compete with this?"

"Well, sir, I’m glad you asked. Even I’ve come up with a similar electrochemical that, if injected into your body, will allow you to listen to the conversations happening in a house or an office thirty-five miles away from where you’re standing. If I was able to finish my demonstration earlier than Mr Uthen, then Kulapus Neo today would’ve been my invention. My chemical is called frequency listener, and it will increase your hearing capability. I’ve developed it as a weapon that could be useful for the army. The chemical is a groundbreaking product."

Uthen asks Leebrian, "So if your electrochemical was injected into a person’s body, will he be listening to all conversations nonstop every day?"

"The antidote for this is in the process of completion." Leebrian replied.

Just then, the chief of the International Weapons Control Committee said, "I appreciate your efforts. But as you’ve said, the chemical antidote is not ready yet. I’m sorry to say this, but we can’t permit you to develop this compound any further."

After listening to this, Leebrian leaves the room, knocking away his chair in a furious manner. And talks to someone over the phone, "Why didn’t you tell me that DCL made Kulapus Neo?"
A female voice responds, "Sweetheart! Sorry, but Uthen never talked anything about developing such a product, and there is no research being done here on Kulapus. We’re still working on our existing products."
"Is I'm paying you for this type of spying? This is my first loss in eight years. Just gather all the info that you can about that chip for me."
