Chapter 417: Divide the Spoils? (Additional Chapter because the Bookworm Account Has Lost Its 10,000-Dollar Reward)
Of course, everyone just glanced over this idea, and then the main event came, and everyone began to discuss their respective possessions.
8 million pounds is a huge sum of money after the end of the world, and only in Austin, a city of science and technology, can so many farmers have various materials and food.
But Dr. B's request is to bring so many materials at one time, and it is inevitable that some people will not be able to move around for a while. After all, food has become a hard currency now. Many cities are independent. Why do they issue currency? It is to have more food and materials in their hands. This is what the power and capitalists like to do most.
But this time is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so what can they do? So these people have to invest a large amount of materials while borrowing food from the people in power in Austin and from relatives and friends.
Jingshu seemed to see some deceived old ladies in China in the eyes of these people. They not only took out all their retirement money but also borrowed money from relatives and friends, thinking that all of them would be doubled in a few days! It seems that investing less is a loss!
At this time, there should be an advertising slogan: The more you invest, the more you earn.
Dr. B usually advises: "Don't invest too much, I have a quota." But it has the opposite effect, causing these people to write "receipts" and become even crazier.
After a while, the 8 million quota of various materials were divided up. Among them, the director representing Austin invested 3 million pounds, the slave owner invested 2 million pounds each, and some local high-level people who are doing well now invested 1 million. The rest were all divided up by the farmers. Of course, Jingshu, a retail investor, took up several thousand pounds, which was embarrassing.
Now, the situation is no longer under the control of Dr. B. Austin's execution is very strong. The doctor doesn't even have to do anything. The next day, all his belongings and test products were carried outside the city of Austin. The gaps were cracked by the earthquake, but there was a different world in the gaps. It was more like a bowl that was turned down.
Everyone's supplies were also brought in by truckloads. Even the whole set of equipment Jingshu wanted, which occupied a hundred square meters, was neatly disassembled and transported here, which really saved a lot of trouble.
This should have been a big mountain, but it was shaken down by the earthquake and the peaks all collapsed into the inside, leaving such a big gap. Looking down from the top of the bowl, the middle hundreds of meters down is boiling magma, and the concave areas around are like the inner walls of the kang. The whole mountain is supported by only the inner wall and looks like it will collapse at any time.
It's really dangerous!
Austin is very confident about Dr. B. Although more and more people have nosebleeds recently, no one thought that because of the problem of the glowing wall, including this time, they withdrew after delivering all the supplies, leaving only thirty bodyguards to "protect" Dr. B.
The farmer sent more than 200 "supervisors" to stay outside the gap. They also brought sufficient food and equipment for camping in the wild. Of course, these people were fully armed to protect their own food and supplies. It is worth mentioning that the slave owner learned a lesson this time and sent two A-level mercenaries to guard here.
Dr. B complained all the way: "This damn place is too dangerous. Why can't you send more people to protect me? If there is danger, you must protect me as soon as possible..." The bodyguards around him relaxed. It must be said that this scene is too safe!
There is magma underground, and there is only one exit. Everyone is guarding the exit of this gap to protect the doctor. Now all they have to do is wait for five days for the doctor to complete the conversion, and then they can find someone to move it back.
What is the concept of 8 million pounds and 3,000 tons of cargo? Large trucks can be seen on the road, the kind that pulls about 50 tons of cargo, and it takes dozens of trucks to pull all the supplies!
Therefore, Austin and the farmers are very relieved. As for the doctor and his people, even if they have to move boxes by boxes, they will move them until next year. You have to know how many people they have dispatched for these materials so quickly this time!
Even if robbers come, they are not afraid. If there are fewer people, these armed forces can destroy the other side. If there are more people, they can come in waves by helicopter. The other side can't steal 3,000 tons of materials in one second, right?
The most of these materials are strategic materials and food stored in the United States, that is, the food stored before the end of the world, corn, wheat, etc. There are too many types, and there are also minerals with the highest value for slave owners. There is no way. The slave owners' food has been stolen almost, and they don't want to rely on the last rare minerals to make a comeback.
Minerals are heavy, and the smallest one is several tons. On the contrary, those corns look so big, but the container is only a few hundred kilograms.
Austin is not short of oil, and it is not troublesome to transport it. The key is that it is not far, just a few dozen kilometers. The goods are placed in the gap of the mountains. It is said that the closer to the new raw material, the water of life, the better the conversion effect, and everyone is very active.
After putting so many tons of cargo in, it was discovered that the inner wall of the mountain was really large. The space occupied by these cargoes was less than one-tenth of the gap in the mountain.
Dr. B lived up to expectations and led his slaves to quickly refine the finished product of water of life. The 30 people who were "monitoring" Dr. B were at the top, looking down from time to time. No one could get close to Dr. B when he was conducting experiments. They knew this.
While they were monitoring, they also had to protect Dr. B's safety. In this case, there was magma below and there was only one exit above, so they only had to guard the top.
All the things were transported here, so what were Jingshu and the others doing?
Of course, they were sharing the spoils, as everyone would like to see!
First of all, all the seeds belonged to Jingshu personally; secondly, the vegetable dehydration technology equipment was the target of this mission and also belonged to Jingshu. Furthermore, all the minerals belonged to all members of Jingshu's team equally, and those that did not belong to the country did not need to be handed over! 2 million pounds of minerals are equivalent to about 900 tons of minerals. Although it does not seem like much, its value is really scary because these are all rare minerals.
Everyone made a fortune! Of course, everyone had to pay a lot of contribution points for this. If it was not enough, they would use minerals to offset the contribution points, and the amount they got might be half less. However, if the country did not help you transport it back, you would not be able to take it back. After all, only by letting everyone make a little can we achieve a perfect ending.
All the remaining food and grain belonged to Dr. B's team.
So why was Dr. B willing to give Jingshu and her team a quarter of the total value of all the minerals?
Because this time, the tunnel digging, transportation, and escape work were all done by Jingshu's team!
