Alchemy Greater China

() There are exactly the same small fish on both sides, both of which are dead red fish!

Pulitzer asked in surprise: "Why, you also found this strange dead fish?"

An intelligence officer nodded: "Yes, these red dead fish were all found in our three base villages!"

Pulitzer ordered people to bring up the 'street lamps' containing dead fish, and there were more than 20 of them!

They were all discovered in Mingyue Village during this day!

It turned out that after coming out of the experimental mine, Pulitzer and King Klay ordered people to search for this strange hexagonal 'street light' in Mingyue Village. Dozens of 'street lamps' were found on the ground, in the rubbish dumps of the work sheds, and behind the soil slopes outside the mine. According to the situation, it was too late for the villagers to destroy them when they evacuated!

By the way, Mingyue Village was completely a 'dead village' when King Klein moved in, and none of the villagers who 'welcome foreigners' stayed. ..

"Do you know these things?" Pulitzer stared at the intelligence officer and asked, while King Klay and the others behind him were also full of anticipation.

Looking at those 'street lights', the intelligence personnel nodded affirmatively: "I know you, these are the 'constant temperature towers'!"

Constant temperature tower?

The eyes of Pulitzer and others were wide open: What is that?

The intelligence officer swallowed, and continued: "The constant temperature tower is the equipment that Schmidt uses to ensure the normal temperature of each mine. Basically, every base village has it!"

"Why didn't you report it earlier? How could you miss such an important thing as the constant temperature tower?"

After figuring it out, Pulitzer, Kinclair and the others roared loudly: Why was there no mention of this miraculous device that can guarantee a constant temperature in the previous intelligence?You bastards, do it, this is serious dereliction of duty!

The intelligence officers were aggrieved.He opened his mouth, wanting to make an excuse but didn't know where to start.

Speaking of which, the term "constant temperature tower" was not told to them by Schmidt kindly, but they bought it from the villagers through hard work and spending money. But when they learned about this constant temperature tower, it contained information about the parameters It has been sent back, and the interval is not short.These intelligence personnel did not want to take responsibility, so they concealed it.

In their fluke mentality, the constant temperature tower is an important resource to ensure the normal operation of the base village, and Schmidt will never remove it, but who would have thought that Pulitzer and his group of elites came to Alaska to kill Schmidt in one fell swoop. Such a special idea, when these intelligence personnel found out that something was wrong and wanted to remind them, they had already been thrown into limbo and abandoned in the base village along the way.

"Let's not hold you responsible for now. Tell me, what's going on with this constant temperature tower?"

Pulitzer took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed to these intelligence officers and said, "Why are there so many small red fishes inside? How can the temperature be kept constant with these small fishes alone?"

After the anger, Pulitzer remained a little sober. Before that, he repeatedly checked those 'street lamps', which were simply ordinary containers.If this container is really what the intelligence personnel said it is a 'constant temperature tower'.Then the key must be on those weird little red fishes!

"I, we don't know much..."

The intelligence officers looked puzzled.Before Pulitzer and other big bosses got angry again, he quickly told the information he knew about the 'Constant Temperature Tower' like pouring beans.

Let’s start from the beginning. When the intelligence personnel followed Schmidt into Huaxia Town for field investigation, they were surprised by the “high temperature” in each base village and each mining cave, but Schmidt tweeted that this was Because of the geothermal heat nearby.A flicker made the intelligence officer faint.

Naturally, these intelligence personnel sent back the wrong information that 'the temperature in Alaska will never be below minus 20 degrees' in a dazed state.

Of course, they wouldn't know if they hadn't written such a message.These information cannot be sent out at all, and will be intercepted by Chen Yulun's intelligence personnel.

Near the end of the trip, these intelligence personnel felt that something was wrong. If there is geothermal heat, it must be only one or two places. But why every base village, every mine, and every place where people live... All so?Moreover, the careful intelligence personnel also discovered that every once in a while, the flagpole at the entrance of the village would be replaced with a 'street lamp'-like object, and this weird object was also hung in front of every house!

Every family is like this, and every household is changed, which is very suspicious!

Before leaving the area of ​​Huaxia Town, the careful intelligence personnel finally bribed a few Chinese with pigtails with US dollars, and learned from them that this weird hexagonal 'street lamp' is called a constant temperature tower. !Every time after hanging, it can ensure that the surroundings have a 'constant temperature like spring' for a long time!

But it's a pity that these pig-tailed Chinese have too low authority, and they don't even have the qualifications to hang a constant temperature tower on a regular basis, let alone know what the principle of a constant temperature tower is and what it is made of!

Regarding the endless information about the constant temperature tower, several intelligence personnel thought about it, and chose to keep it in their hearts, so as not to report it back and be scolded by their superiors for being "brainless".

"...It wasn't until a few days ago, when the base village suddenly became cold, that we suddenly remembered this constant temperature tower!"

The intelligence officer continued: "Sure enough, we found several abandoned thermostatic towers in the corner, opened them, and found that there were small fish that had frozen to death inside. We were quite surprised at the time!"

After the intelligence officer finished speaking, Pulitzer and others asked several times unwillingly, and finally admitted the fact that they didn't know anything except that this thing was a constant temperature device that could maintain the temperature!Especially the small fish with red scales and red tails, the origin is still mysterious!

Pulitzer and the other seven bosses are not just waiting to die. They also carried combustion aids. Since they can't find out the origin of the constant temperature tower and the little red fish for a while, the most urgent task is how to solve the problem of freezing weather.

It is not a big deal if the machinery and tools are damaged by freezing, but if the freezing to death happens a few more times, the morale of the whole team will drop to the bottom. Escape, or two words.

The brazier and quilts were distributed one by one.Coal was consumed faster than food, and within a few days, King Klein had to order miners and security guards to cut down trees around and replace the huge consumption of coal with wood.

The weather was so cold that the seven major consortiums could only hide in Mingyue Village, struggling to survive.As for prospecting, digging, and laying railroad tracks...that's something that only a dream can have free time to do!

After a few more days like this, and seeing that January is about to pass, Pulitzer, King Klay and others discussed: I have so many people coming to Alaska to play a game of "survival in the wild". Now I have two choices. One is to turn around and go back to the south, and re-prepare the cold protection materials before coming in. The other is to try to figure out what the red fish is. Why can Schmidt use the constant temperature tower but not himself?

Moreover, these days in the process of felling trees.Both the security guards and the miners suffered losses. I don't know if they were dragged away by the ferocious wild beasts in the jungle or what. Anyway, bad news came every day. Such non-combat attrition caused everyone's morale to drop again and again.

It’s okay not to make a change!

"I'll choose one, I don't want to stay in this damn place for a day!" Wulf Taser, the head of Lehman Brothers, howled.

"I also don't think it's an option to stay like this. There are losses every day. That's a living life!" West made an excuse for retreating with compassion.

"Hmph, it's safe to turn around and go back!"

Pulitzer was smoking a cigar.His eyes are red. In the past seven or eight days, he hasn't fallen asleep for 20 hours in total. His beast-like eyes swept around: "But have you ever thought that if there is no constant temperature tower, we will have enough coal and electricity?" The quilts come in. How do you dig mines? How do you fight wars? Hey, these security guards, I can assure you that as soon as they leave Anchorage, they will come together and end the employment contract with us!"

before coming.The veterans of the Security Army signed similar contracts with the major consortiums: as long as they left the Denali Mountains, they had the right to terminate the contract early and get a huge commission!

"Then what do you say? Choose the second?"

Aymoang said: "Mr. Morgan, can you figure out what the little red fish is? Even if you figure it out, do you know where to get these fish?"

"correct."

Jinclair was also frowning: "Mr. Morgan, if you have a way to get these small fish, we will choose the second, if not, we have to choose the first! After all, we are still businessmen, not crazy desperadoes!"

"Hmph, of course I can do it!"

Pulitzer Morgan straightened his back suddenly, tilted his cigar up, and clapped his hands: "Mr. Nord, please come in!"

After the words were finished, the door curtain was lifted, and a foreigner with a smiling face came in, wearing a thick fur with snow on it.

"This is the head of the Monroe family, Mr. Charlie Nord!"

Pulitzer introduced to King Klay and others: "Mr. Nord arrived yesterday, and he brought us a wonderful gospel... He can get these warm, warm, fish!"

"Wen Wen, fish?"

West was the first to react, and exclaimed strangely: "Wow, is that the name of the red-scaled red-tailed strange fish?"

"Yes, the little red fish is called Wen Wen Yu."

Charlie Nord bowed, with a respectful expression on his face.The Monroe family he belongs to is just an insignificant little fish in front of the chaebols represented by these seven, whoever opens his mouth can swallow him!Of course, the other way around, whoever leaks a finger, the benefit of falling, can feed him enough!

"Do you have a way to get warm fish?" Jin Kelai's eyes flashed, and he said with a serious expression: "Mr. Nord, please explain carefully!"

"Ahem, okay..." Charlie Nord straightened his face and began to speak in detail.

It turned out that Fuyuan Village, where Zha Li lived, also encountered a sudden cold weather.The extremely cold temperature made the mining work of the Monroe family stagnant, and even though ten families including Duan Bada tried their best to dig that small gold mine, the output of raw ore per day was only 500 kilograms. This Zha Li was furious, and vented all the anger accumulated due to the abnormal weather on Duan Bada and the others!

After three days, a total of eight people from ten families died in the gold mine. As for whether they died of exhaustion, freezing to death, or being killed by the security guards, it is unclear.

Seeing that Charlie was indiscriminate and insisted on forcing the ten families to die, Shan Shorty gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and said to Charlie Nord: "I have a solution to this cold weather, but you have to promise us conditions of!"

He dared to raise conditions for the ants in his eyes.Charlie is very disdainful, but what Shan Shorty said is too tempting, Charlie is still willing to give it a try.

Because the news from the surrounding base villages is the same, the weather has changed rapidly, and the mining work of all consortiums has come to a standstill, and people are not used to being frozen to death every day.Some small financial groups have already started to pack up and prepare to retreat.

"What's the condition, let's talk about it first."

"We demand equal treatment. We still dig mines for you, but you must pay your wages, and we can't work more than ten hours a day! This is a very reasonable request!" Shan Xiaozi said: "Otherwise, we will die together! "

Charlie thought for a while, and agreed to Shan Shorty's request.Then, Shan Shorty asked for two people and slipped out of the base village. After a while, they brought back ten hexagonal 'street lamps'.

"That's a constant temperature tower!" Wuftaser exclaimed.

"It is indeed a constant temperature tower!"

Charlie nodded, with fascination on his face. Although it has been a few days, the magic of that day is still vivid in his memory...

Seeing that the single dwarf brought back ten unknown things.Charlie almost kicked it, but followed Shan Shorty to hang one of them in the room.As the temperature in the room slowly increased, Charlie's mood changed from anger to surprise!

These ten gadgets can actually change the surrounding temperature!This, this is amazing!

Overjoyed, Zha Li ordered people to hang up the ten temperature-controlled towers separately to let his men who were suffering from the cold.Enjoy the long-lost warmth!

After enjoying it, Charlie asked the dwarf to get more thermostatic towers, but ten is still too few, and the coverage is not enough.

Shorty Shan said in embarrassment: "It's not easy to do, these things are controlled by Schmidt Company...that's the ten. We also spent a lot of effort to get it! Also, the constant temperature tower has a time limit, one The constant temperature tower can no longer function after more than a day and a half."

Charlie didn't believe it, so Shorty Shan opened a constant temperature tower, and saw the warm fish swimming in it, Charlie had to believe it or not!

The life cycle of these warm fish is one and a half days. When the fish die, the constant temperature tower becomes a waste.

"So, these warm fish can really adjust the temperature difference?" Jin Kelai's eyebrows twitched. Obviously, this kind of fairytale rhetoric made it hard for him to accept the natural science education since he was a child. .

"There's nothing strange about it, the world is so big and full of wonders!"

Pulitzer is very open-minded: "Maybe this kind of warm fish can produce some kind of wonderful chemical reaction with water, thereby releasing heat? Everyone, the key now is not to study whether this kind of warm fish is reasonable, but How to get it!"

When Pulitzer was young, he went to Europe to study for three years, majoring in chemistry.

"With Wen Wenyu, we can overcome the terrible weather here!" Pulitzer flicked off his cigar, his eyes burning.

"That's right, Mr. Nord, we have a general understanding of Wen Wenyu, now, please tell me about your relationship!"

King Klay agreed with Pulitzer's words, and then looked at Charlie Nord: "How can we get warm fish, and a lot of warm fish?"

Zha Lidao: "It's very simple. According to the Chinese, Wenwen fish is raised by the aborigines in the north. After Schmidt came, he spent a lot of money to widen the fish pond and gave the aborigines a high salary. Let them raise warm fish on a large scale, and buy them regularly! But now Schmidt’s escort team has abandoned most of the villages and retreated to the north, so the production of warm fish is in excess. Recently, many local fishermen raised warm fish. They are very dissatisfied that the lukewarm fish cannot be sold...so, as long as we spend some money, those aborigines will happily sell the surplus lukewarm fish to us secretly!"

"what price?"

"One piece is 50 cents, and 20 pieces can guarantee a constant temperature tower to work for a day and a half!" Charlie quoted the price.

All the people present here are elites in the financial world, and soon, the approximate cost of buying Wen Wen Yu was calculated mentally.A constant temperature tower does not count the cost, and the temperature fish inside is only 10 US dollars. If Mingyue Village is covered, it is conservatively estimated that at least 2 constant temperature towers are needed, which costs 24 US dollars per month, and [-] US dollars per year!

"too expensive!"

Kinclair frowned. 24 U.S. dollars, although this money is not too much for Rockefeller, but it is an additional expense. Besides, this is only a Mingyue Village. When the mining area is gradually developed and the number of mines is gradually increased, this figure will not be able to increase rapidly. Flip?

"It's not expensive. Think about it, everyone. We have already spent several million dollars to buy a mining right. What is this small amount of money?"

Zha Li persuaded: "If there is no Wenwenyu, and there is no constant temperature tower, we can only be frozen here and achieve nothing. What's more, except for me who can get Wenwenyu, people from other consortiums may not even be able to get Wenwenyu." Didn't figure out anything!"

Charlie’s words were half-truth and half-false. Shan Shorty offered him 20 cents per lukewarm fish, but he came here and offered 50 cents, which would be a 250% profit as soon as he changed hands. This made Charlie very excited: Yes, yes!You are all big families and big consortiums, what's wrong with me earning this little money?

"That's right, spend money to buy something warm!"

"A constant temperature tower is only 10 dollars, compared to its magic, this money is nothing!"

"Besides, we can still take Wenwen fish back for research. Maybe within half a year, we will be able to raise them ourselves!"

……

For a while, the heads of the consortium such as Goldman were whispering and seemed to agree.They also knew in their hearts that Wen Wenyu must have made a lot of money through this Charlie Nord, but this small amount of money was really not in their eyes. (To be continued.)
