The crazy alchemist
Thealchemisthad always beenalienatedfrom his peers because of hisalarmingtheories. Only the mostalternativeuniversities were willing toallocatesmallallowancesto him to further research his ideas. When he found evidence ofaliensliving in the highest altitude mountains of the world, he was recognized as anall-roundfailure. It was therefore even more unfortunate that he was right,
The alchemist ignored' the furtheralienationand built anallianceof extremists to get physical proof of the alien and toalterthe world's view of his theory. When they returned with photos and video of the alien he was sure he would walk down manyaislesto claim international awards and financialallocationsto test all of his other theories. However, this proof did nothing toalleviatethe concerns of his peers that he was truly insane.
When the alchemist wasalertedthat the aliens were coming down from the mountains andalightingon the roofs of buildings his peers still did not believe what healleged. When an alien finally walked into the conference room everything changed. In addition to being named chief ambassador to the aliens, the alchemist wasallottedmore honor than he had ever dreamed. All of his dreams had come true.
The aliens unfortunately suddenly developed anallergyfor human beings and started dying. The alchemist found that they were allergic to human hair, developed a cure, and saved the aliens. Now he was the hero of the galaxy!
瘋狂的煉金術(shù)士
由于這位煉金術(shù)士提出的理論令人驚恐,他總是被同僚們疏遠(yuǎn)。只有最另類的大學(xué)肯撥小額的津貼讓他進(jìn)一步研究他的思想。當(dāng)他找到證據(jù)證明世界上海拔最高的山上有外星人居住時(shí),他被認(rèn)為是個(gè)全面的失敗者。而更為不幸的是,他居然是對(duì)的。
煉金術(shù)士沒有理會(huì)人們對(duì)他的進(jìn)一步疏遠(yuǎn),他成立了一個(gè)極端分子聯(lián)盟,以尋找外星人存在的真憑實(shí)據(jù),借此改變世人對(duì)他的理論的看法。當(dāng)他們帶回外星人的照片和錄影帶時(shí),他確信他將走過許多條過道領(lǐng)取各種國際大獎(jiǎng)和撥款,這樣一來他就能證明他提出的所有其他理論了。然而,這一證據(jù)并沒有減少同僚們的擔(dān)心,他們認(rèn)為他的確是瘋了。
當(dāng)煉金術(shù)士注意到外星人正從山上下來并且降落在屋頂上時(shí),同僚們還是不相信他的斷言。最后一個(gè)外星人走進(jìn)了會(huì)議室,一切才發(fā)生了改變。煉金術(shù)士不僅被任命為首席駐外星大使,而且還被給予了超出他夢想的殊榮。他所有的夢想都變成了現(xiàn)實(shí)。
不幸的是,外星人突然開始對(duì)人類過敏起來并且開始死亡。煉金術(shù)士發(fā)現(xiàn)他們對(duì)人類的毛發(fā)過敏,于是研制了一種解藥,拯救了外星人。現(xiàn)在他成了星系英雄!
