Some newly collected historical relics are revealed for the first time in the exhibition, as the electric incubator is one of them. According to GaoYubao, a director of the exhibition, the electric incubator is a piece of special equipment for bacterial incubation and production. It shows how Unit 731 conducted bacterial research and produced it in the lab from the side.
He also mentioned that Japanese military’s Unit 731 dug pits to bury a large amount of evidence of crimes before it fled from China. These burial pits are the "criminal evidence of destroying evidence by the Japanese invaders". Eighty-two items on the exhibition, mostly experimental glassware, are digged from these pits.
