Chapter 416: Divide the spoils?
Of course, this thought only flashed through everyone's mind, and then the main event came, and everyone began to discuss their respective shares.
The figure of 8 million pounds is considered a huge sum of money after the apocalypse. Only in Austin, a technology city, can so many farmers have various supplies and food.
But Dr. B's request required so much material to be brought in at once, and it was inevitable that some people would be unable to manage it. After all, food had become hard currency, and many cities were rioting. Why did they issue currency? It was to gain more food and materials, which was what the powerful and capitalists loved to do.
But this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so what could they do? So these people had to invest a large amount of supplies while also borrowing food, from those in power in Austin, and from their relatives and friends.
Jingshu seemed to see in these people's eyes some of the old ladies in China who had been deceived. They not only took out all their retirement savings but also borrowed money from relatives and friends, thinking that it would all be invested in a few days and doubled! As if investing less would mean 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 limit." But it has the opposite effect, causing these people to write the receipt immediately and become even more crazy.
In a short while, all kinds of materials worth 8 million were divided up. Among them, the director representing Austin invested 3 million pounds, the slave owner invested 2 million pounds each, and some local senior executives who were doing well now invested a total of 1 million. The rest were all divided up by the farmers. Of course, Jingshu, a retail investor, also took up a few thousand pounds, which was quite embarrassing.
Now, the situation was no longer under Dr. B's control. Austin had a strong execution ability, and the doctor didn't even have to do anything. The next day, all his belongings and experimental products were carried out of the city of Austin. There was a gap created by the earthquake, but there was a different world in the gap. It was more like an upside-down bowl.
Everyone's supplies were brought over in truckloads. Even the complete set of equipment Jingshu wanted, which occupied a full 100 square meters, was disassembled and transported over, which really saved a lot of trouble.
This should have been a big mountain originally, but it was shaken down by an earthquake and the entire peak collapsed into the inside, leaving such a large gap. Looking down from the bowl-shaped place above, the middle hundreds of meters below is boiling magma, and the concave areas around it are like the inner walls of a kang. The entire mountain is supported only by the inner wall and looks like it will collapse at any time.
It's really dangerous!
Austin was very confident in Dr. B. Although more and more people had nosebleeds recently, no one expected that there would be a problem with the glowing wall. 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 enough food and equipment for camping. Of course, these people were fully armed to protect their own food and supplies. It is worth mentioning that the slave owner learned his lesson this time and sent two A-level mercenary teams to guard here.
Dr. B kept complaining the whole time: "This damn place is too dangerous. Why can't you send more people to protect me? If any danger happens, you must protect me first..." He kept talking and talking, which made the bodyguards around him relax. It must be said that this scene made people feel 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 the doctor to complete the transformation, and then they can find someone to move it back.
What does 8 million pounds, or 3,000 tons of cargo, mean? On the road, you can see large trucks carrying around 50 tons of cargo. Dozens of them would be needed to haul all that cargo!
So Austin and the farmers are very relieved. As for the doctor and his men, even if they have to move all the supplies box by box, they will have to move them until next year. You have to know how many people they mobilized to move these supplies so quickly this time!
Even if robbers come, we are not afraid, as there are fewer people with these armed
The strength is enough to destroy the enemy. If there are more people, they can come in waves by helicopter. The enemy can't steal 3,000 tons of supplies in a second, right?
The largest amount of these materials is the strategic food stored by the United States, that is, the food stored before the end of the world, including corn, wheat, and so on. There are also minerals that are most valuable to the slave owners. There is no way, the slave owners' food has been almost stolen, and they don't want to rely on the last rare minerals to make a comeback.
Minerals are heavy, and the smallest lump weighs several tons. In contrast, the corn looks so big but only weighs a few hundred kilograms in a container.
Austin has no shortage of oil, and it is not difficult to transport it. The key is that it is not far, just a few dozen kilometers. The goods are placed in the crevices of the mountains. It is said that the closer to the new raw material, the water of life, the better the conversion effect. Everyone is very enthusiastic.
After putting so many tons of cargo in, we realized how big the inner wall of the mountain is. The space occupied by these cargoes is less than one-tenth of the gap in the mountain.
Dr. B lived up to everyone's expectations and began to rapidly refine the finished product of the Water of Life with his slaves. The 30 people who were monitoring Dr. B were at the top, looking down from time to time. They knew that no one could get close to Dr. B when he was conducting the experiment.
While they are monitoring, they also have to protect Dr. B's safety. In this place where there is magma below and there is only one exit above, they only need to guard the top.
All the things have been transported here, so what are Jingshu and the others doing?
Of course, as everyone likes to see, the spoils are divided!
First, all the seeds belonged to Jingshu personally. Second, the vegetable drying equipment, the target of this mission, also belonged to Jingshu. Furthermore, all the minerals were to be divided equally among all members of Jingshu's team; those not belonging to the state did not need to be turned over! Two million pounds of minerals, equivalent to approximately 900 tons, might not seem like much, but their value was truly astonishing, as they were all rare minerals.
Everyone made a fortune! Of course, everyone had to pay a lot of contribution points for this. If it wasn't enough... you could use minerals to offset the contribution points, and you might get half as much. But if the country doesn't help you transport it back, you can't get it back either. After all, only when everyone makes a little can we achieve a perfect ending.
All remaining food and provisions belong to Dr. B's group.
So why is Dr. B willing to give all the minerals and a quarter of the profits in total value to Jingshu and others?
Because this time the work of tunnel digging, transportation and escape were all taken care of by Jingshu's team!
