Episode 3 Late Alonium Era
In the later years of the Alonium era, the Alonium research institution, under public backlash, experienced a significant decline in credibility and authority. Consequently, there was no way to sustain the institution. Scientists apologized for using live animals in experiments and ultimately agreed to demolish the Alonium research institution.
However, a new problem arose. Due to the continued high reliability of Alonium research results, governments and terrorist organizations sought to exploit Alonium as a weapon. They especially focused on Alonium's repulsive force and toxicity. A thriving black market emerged, driven by the scarcity of Alonium. People sold fake Alonium at plausible prices, buyers sought Alonium at high prices, and planners aimed to steal Alonium. While the residents of the black market displayed various reactions, their objectives all revolved around one point: making money.
Scientists had no way to stop them. They could reduce it but never eliminate it. Once again, scientists faced the ultimate dilemma. Would they accept the risk of Alonium being used as a weapon alongside the development of chemistry, or would they reject it in favor of ending experiments and research if it could not be beneficial to people's lives?
The scientists' answer was a refusal. If it could not be useful in people's lives, it was better to stop experiments and research. Many scientists who continued activities in Alonium research labs scattered worldwide in the early Alonium era decided to halt Alonium research.
Afterward, it remains unknown how Alonium was disposed of. Was it dispersed in the air or buried deep underground? Because of this uncertainty, even after the Alonium era, whenever someone's death was reported in the media, people whispered and speculated. Perhaps they died from inhaling Alonium.
