Alchemy Greater China

The loose man hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be pessimistic, wait another five, no, 10 minutes..."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then the door of the wooden house was knocked: "Open the door, it's me, Podson!"

The voice passed through the wooden door, as low as a mandrill, but the loose man heard it as if he was listening to fairy music: "Open the door, it's Podson, he's back!"

Tesla was not so happy. He turned to one side, avoiding the route facing the wooden door, and hummed: "Before opening the door, you need to confirm first? He can lead a battalion of people in three hours."

"Mr. Tesla, you are right to be cautious, but Podson, you won't do such an outrageous thing!"

The stern man was also a little dissatisfied with Tesla. He went to open the door himself, and he still muttered: "What our group can give, others can't! Saltpeter mines are rich, but no matter how rich they are, they can compete with iron and steel. Mine ratio?"

The saltpeter industry is the pillar of Chile. The saltpeter merchants are very rich, but at the same time they have to pay a lot of profits to the big boss behind it (the United Kingdom). Moreover, because it is a monopoly, the saltpeter merchants are very greedy and stingy. Buyers are really inferior to the Carnegie Group.

The door opened, and outside the door was a face that looked like a viper, with wrinkles like snake lines and eyes like snake eyes. Facing him was like bumping into a poisonous snake, and you would feel uncomfortable all over your body.

"It took so long to open the door?"

Viper Podson frowned, didn't enter the house, but quickly turned around: "The ticket is already in hand, come with me!"

Viper is a nickname, and it is also suitable to describe Podson's current state, coming and going like the wind, slippery without holding back... It's just that the wind seems to be a dark wind.

"Go, Mr. Tesla!"

The loose man pushed the Tesla, and the stern man 'guarded' the still vigilant object one after the other.Striding to keep up with Podson: "Let me just say, your worries are unnecessary! Look, the ferry ticket can't be faked. We will be safe when we leave San Diego and reach the open sea!"

Tesla's brows were still untied.It's just that his body is too thin under the 'protection' of the two men: "Is it safe? I'm not optimistic... Those saltpeter merchants have good hands and eyes, and Chile's navy is also the strongest in South America! Hey, you don't think things are going well. Is it too smooth? The electrolysis method, they can't give up!"

"It went well? It took three hours to get the boat ticket. You said, this is beyond your expectations, isn't it, Mr. Tesla?"

"...That's why we can't take it lightly. Are you sure we're not heading towards a trap that took three hours to lay?"

"You're too suspicious. Is that a trait of an inventor? Oh, that's a nuisance!"

"I think it's because you don't understand the importance of electrolysis..."

"Shouldn't you be happy to get out of this ghostly place smoothly? It's a pathetic outlook on life to always be pessimistic!"

"An optimistic attitude can easily make people complacent and fall down! You don't understand the electrolysis method. The saltpeter merchant won't let us easily, huh..."

"Shut up. Long-winded Mr. Tesla, don't you want us to be happy? I don't want to use my precious little pistol..."

A mass of cloth of indescribable material blocked the uneasy Tesla. Two Carnegie employees changed from one in front and one in back to one left and one right, erected Tesla, and stepped on the leaf paved road. On the path, rustling.Like a viper spewing a message...

Electrolysis, something that Tesla has been emphasizing constantly, is the reason why he came to Chile, and it is also the reason why he is forced to flee at this moment!

Electrolysis, the full name should be called 'nitrate high-efficiency electrolytic purification method'.Before Nikola Tesla came to Chile, this method only existed in his imagination, but in less than two months, with the assistance of Carnegie, this method became a declarable patent!

Unlike later generations who can even apply for a patent for a "box guessing device"... What does a patent mean in this day and age?

It means that it can be put into production quickly, can generate excess profits, and can crush commercial opponents with backward technology!

That's right, this electrolysis method has been perfected by Tesla. Once it is put into industrial production by the Carnegie Group, the production cost of nitrate (that is, saltpeter) will drop by 45% to 60%!

Cut the cost in half, what a scary concept!

Theoretically speaking, if this patent is established, the profit of the nitrate company will shrink by [-]% to [-]%, and the global nitrate price will show a steady step-wise decline in the next year!

And Chile, which regards nitrates as the backbone of the country, will face the collapse of workers' unemployment, government bankruptcy, and civil riots...

Of course, the above are just theories. The powerful nitrate companies will not let this happen easily. They monopolize the saltpeter mines in Chile. Whoever dares to use this electrolysis method to produce nitrate will be punished by them. Joint strike.

Although the price of nitrate is lowered, the backstage of these companies will benefit the UK, but who made this an era when capital dominates politics?

Whoever dares to cut off the wealth of these saltpeter merchants, they dare to chop off their claws!

In other words, although this set of patents is awesome, in Tesla's personal hands, it is a reminder!

However, if this set of electrolysis patents falls into the hands of the Carnegie Group, the situation will be different, and the actual consequences will be infinitely close to the theory!

Carnegie has the capital and resources to fight a nitrate price war. The final result is nothing more than two. One is that the saltpeter merchants in Chile, Peru and other countries are forced to go bankrupt and jump into the sea; The base group entered the nitrate interest circle and shared the high nitrate profits.

To sum up, the powerful electrolysis method developed by Tesla is something that Carnegie and the saltpeter merchants want to get quickly!

After explaining the electrolysis method, the judges should be confused: Tesla does not seem to have made any invention contribution to the extraction of nitrate in history?What kind of medicine did he take wrongly, what kind of butterfly wings slapped his head, and he actually tinkered with the nifty pen technology that can lead the revolution of the saltpeter industry? !

If this question can be submitted to our Tesla expert, his answer will probably be like this: "This inspiration is indeed to take medicine... No, maybe it's a flash of light in the head, um, maybe it's that girl... Hey , in short. I seem to have seen this electrolysis method in a dream, and this dream is very clear and real, as if I have really experienced it myself... Haha, with my knowledge, I have inspiration and direction, two months It's not easy to come up with a high-efficiency electrolytic purification method for nitrate. It's a piece of cake, hahahaha..."

That's right, you don't have dizziness or tinnitus. The inspiration for this electrolysis method came from a dream of Tesla, a dream that seemed real during a serious illness.

After encountering the stock 'Waterloo', Tesla was ill for several days in Costa Rica. When he woke up, he began to think about this magical and weird dream: In the dream, I actually invented a saltpeter electrolysis method?And the efficiency seems to be...much higher than the existing ones?

Tesla was a scientist.He quickly verified that according to the dream, this electrolysis method is indeed advanced, and it is nearly 100% possible to 'restore' it!

With this hope, Tesla, who was at the bottom of his life, seemed to be given a shot in the arm. He immediately contacted the Carnegie Group, and at the same time went one step ahead and went to Chile for field investigation.To prove that this electrolysis method is effective in Chile's saltpeter mines!

After a month and a half of hard work, Tesla finally made the electrolysis method 100% perfect.But at this moment, he and his team of assistants were being targeted!

The bizarre deaths of his assistants one after another scared Tesla to hide in this remote cabin, and asked Carnegie for help: My patent was exposed, and the saltpeter merchant wanted to kill me, and then hurry up!

It was under such circumstances that two Carnegie employees, Stern and Loose, came to San Diego with guns.The mission was to escort Tesla safely out of Chile.

It was already very dark, and Podson, two employees, and Tesla and his party walked out of the remote cabin and walked forward in the lush forest of the phantom shadow.

The cabins are very close to the nearest port.This was carefully selected by Tesla, even if it is a walk, half an hour is enough to arrive, which is why "three hours" will drive Tesla crazy, firmly believing that Podsen has betrayed himself.

"It's over, Paterson, where are you taking us?"

In a blink of an eye, a group of people had passed the port, and the grim employee called out, "You won't betray us like Mr. Tesla said?"

'Click', the loosening employee didn't make a sound, but let go of the Tesla, and the bullet was loaded.

Podson paused, turned around, and opened his snake-like mouth under the moonlight: "What do you think? Here is the ticket, can't you read?"

Four tickets, crude paper written: Port Renka, Brusso...

The grim employee looked away from the ticket: "Port Renka? Isn't it the port of Cuilera here?"

Puerto Guillera is the closest port to the cabin. It is a small and private port, while Renka Port is a few kilometers away. It is a medium-sized port and a public port.

"The public port is safe. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, even if you expose your identity, who would dare to insist, right, both of you?" Podson laughed until his pupils turned into vertical ovals.

"Then the Brusso?"

"American Cruise Line, a regular company, sails to Panama City. Each ticket is 35 dollars, which is not cheap! The ship leaves in 40 minutes. If you don't go, you have to post the money to me!" Podson shrank long tongue.

"Who says no? Well, let's go to this Brusso."

"Mr. Tesla, the public port is safer. The Chilean military would not dare to detain an American ship!" Some of the demeanor of a big brother.

Of course, [-]% of this demeanor comes from typing.

Renka Port is a dual-use port for both military and civilian purposes. At this moment, a silver-white cruise ship is docked at the pier. People in twos and threes drag their luggage and pass through the strip-shaped channel surrounded by colorful flags to check in and board the ship.

Podson led three people and boarded the ship smoothly. The ticket price is 35 US dollars, which is a four-person cabin.When the cabin door was closed, the grim employee heaved a sigh of relief and patted Podson: "It's done well, and I will pay the rest of the commission... Hey, why are you on board too?"

Podson lay down on the bed, like a poisonous snake entering a hole: "I also bought a ticket, why can't I get on the boat?"

Loose employee surprised: "Are you leaving San Diego?"

"Is it okay if you don't leave? Do you think there is little movement this time? Don't look at the smooth journey just now, and I didn't even meet a ghost. That's because I, Podson, chose the right time to escape!" Podson Rolling his eyelids, he said, "I heard that even the president was alarmed this time, so I won't go out to avoid the limelight. Maybe I'll be in class tomorrow!"

After talking for a while, the hull began to shake, and the Brusso left the port.

The boat started, and Tesla, who had always been suspicious, finally let go of his hanging heart. He lay half-lying, reviewing the core steps of the electrolysis method in his head.In a daze, he fell asleep.

"boom!"

I don’t know how long it took before Tesla was awakened by a shrill gunshot. The first thing he did when he was out of his body was to jump up on the spot, wanting to scream: “Shot, murder, the saltpeter dealer is catching up!”

But before Tesla's head hit the bed board above his head, a strong force pressed down on his shoulder.

"Get down on the ground! Pack your things, hurry up!"

The powerful master's voice was urgent and majestic.Tesla's body almost fell to the ground, but he could hear the anxious shouts of loose employees.

The pain and heart palpitations made Tesla quickly wake up. He looked around and saw the cabin door ajar, silver-gray moonlight pouring in, and the four-person cabin was already in chaos: things smashed in a circle.Three people were lying across the open space, two of them soaked in a pool of blood.The other arm rests on the bed frame, convulsing.

The twitching man was obviously the local snake Podson. He was obviously shot, and before he could groan in pain, he was kicked back by the grim employee.

The grim employee was also injured, with a bloody hole in his shoulder.He kept bleeding, which made him pale, like a vampire in Yeyue: "You bastard, you dare to betray us! Grass, I peeled your skin. Grass, damn Podson..."

The grim employee was so ruthless, his big leather boots stepped on Podson's wound and rubbed vigorously, which made the viper roll his eyes, and passed out without breathing. His head hit the steel bedstead heavily, clang The sound of clanging is heart-wrenching: this, at least an intermediate-level concussion!

In just this moment, Tesla judged immediately with his meticulous head: Podson was a traitor. He took advantage of everyone's sleep and led two companions to sneak attack on Leng Jun and Loose. Hold!Triggered a gun battle, but he died twice and fainted!

"Is it packed? Podson may have accomplices, maybe even this ship was arranged by him!" The loose employee helped up the injured cold employee, raised his gun, and urged Tesla.

"Okay, right now! Just one box..."

Tesla didn't have much luggage, and he didn't even bother to take his hat. He just grabbed a small suitcase, bowed his waist, and retreated with two employees.

As soon as he went out, there were already a lot of footsteps outside, making the deck thump, and Tesla glanced out of the corner of his eye, and a figure appeared on the stairs in the distance!

"Stop, drop the gun, ah..."

The figure only shouted halfway, the bullet that loosened the employee hit him, fell back to the stairs, and then heard a 'bang bang', and people cursed, probably hitting the companion who was trying to get up from behind.

It has to be said that the skills of these two Carnegie employees are quite high!

"Go this way, there's no one here!"

Loose employees are like Jagged Rambo, holding the grim employee in one hand and holding a gun in the other, striding towards the other side. In the darkness, the obstacles along the way seem to have eyes, and they avoid them one after another. Even the occasional sporadic The attacker was also shot by him and the injured cold employee one by one, and they were dealt with cleanly.

Tesla's hair was bristling, and he followed behind with his head crouched. He was startled by the irregular gunshots and his heartbeat almost stopped: My god, how can I escape?This boat is full of people recruited by Podson, the sea is vast, do we have to jump into the sea?I'm not good at water...

In the next ten minutes or so, a live-action version of a lone hero was staged on the Brusso, where loose and cold killing was useless.

The Brussel is a medium-sized cruise ship with three floors and a height of nearly 15 meters. Its highest point is a platform of more than 50 square meters surrounded by iron fences, which can be regarded as an enlarged watchtower.

The three climbed onto the platform, loosened the murderous look of the employee, slammed the entrance and sealed it, and then helped the stern employee, who was already out of breath and his face was as white as paper, and walked towards an edge of the platform.

Tesla didn't dare to neglect, wiped off his sweat, pulled the small suitcase, and hurriedly followed: he had summed up his experience in the past ten minutes, and if he wanted to save the day, he had to keep up with these two gods of death.

"Huh, huh, Neo, I'm dying, you take Mr. Tesla and go by yourself..." the cold employee said.

"Stop talking nonsense, I won't leave you, Murphys..." Loose employee Neo interrupted coldly, dragging Murphys to the fence stubbornly.

Outside the fence, there is a pitch-black sea with sparkling waves. It must be beautiful during the day, but at this moment, it looks like the entrance to hell, eerie and terrifying.

Tesla leaned forward and said to Neo: "It's a wrong run, it's a dead end! If we just ran down and snatched a lifeboat, we might still have a chance..."

Tesla is an afterthought, but it’s true. When he ran to this rooftop, he was safe for the time being, but he had no way out. When the enemies below rectified and launched another attack, the three of them would die.

"Mr. Tesla, you are an expert in inventing things, but I am an expert in escaping!"

Perhaps because his companion Murphys was seriously injured and dying, Neo's face was a little grim under the moonlight, and Tesla was speechless with his murderous aura.

"Huh, huh..."

Murphys leaned against the fence, blood flowing down like he didn't want money. After the life and death rush just now, his wound was so open that he couldn't close it, and his life was like a candle in a strong wind, which was extinguished in an instant. (To be continued..)
