1020 What is this desert rose?
Jingshu, on the other hand, was looking for more valuable things in this huge warehouse.
I have to say, this warehouse is really big, but it’s not like the kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder that Chinese people have, where things have to be categorized and put away.
It is just messy and chaotic, quite like the comparison between Indian electric wires and mobile electric wires. The Indian electric wires are as messy as a ball of wool, but people can still find what is what. It's almost the same idea.
Soon, Jingshu found a bunch of strange things. She pulled Yang Yang and Zhou Lao over and said, "Look, what are these?"
Logically speaking, someone like Jingshu who has lived two lives should be able to recognize anything, but she still has no idea what this thing is.
"You said it looks like a diamond, right? How can it be piled up here like a mountain of garbage? And whose diamonds are just small crystals larger than sand?"
Mr. Zhou took a look and said, "Does it look like broken glass? Who would leave broken glass here if they have nothing better to do? It doesn't look like broken glass either. It feels quite comfortable to the touch."
Jingshu grabbed a handful. If this thing had some energy, she would have suspected that it was an energy crystal.
"If it's garbage, it can't be put in this big warehouse." Jingshu said.
Yang Yang sighed and said, "Look at you two elders, you always go out without doing your homework. Didn't you give us a Middle East guidebook before we came here?"
Cough cough!
Jingshu thought about it carefully. It seemed like there was such a thing, but it was as thick as a dictionary. Who would read it? There were so many things in it. Why did she care? She would just get back what she could.
Old Zhou touched his nose. He didn't have enough time to play chess with the old man every day. Besides, at his age, he would feel sleepy and have a headache when reading. There were young people around, so what was there for him to read?
Yang Yang said, "This is a specialty of the Middle East. It's called the Desert Rose. It grows on its own when buried under the sand. It's a derivative of sand that resembles a living thing but isn't. It resembles crystals but isn't. It's a very precious thing."
After hearing this, the two nodded. It turned out to be a precious thing.
Jingshu then asked a soul-searching question: "So, what exactly is the value of this thing? Can it be eaten or used?"
Old Zhou also nodded. It was the end of the world now, and things that could not be eaten or used were not precious at all.
Yang Yang sighed, Jingshu, really, and said:
"Before the apocalypse, it was extremely rare and precious, with a single pound fetching tens of thousands of dollars. However, even after the apocalypse, perhaps due to the dark energy, its number has increased significantly.
But they are also very useful. They can absorb all kinds of dust and garbage, and are better than laundry detergent. Just one or two of them, let them sit in water for an hour, and the clothes will be clean. The key is that not only will it not get smaller, but if you put it in the sand on a daily basis, it will slowly get bigger. After differentiation, it can be used as two.
Of course, I heard that the upper echelons of the Middle East are further exploring its other values."
"Laundry detergent for laundry?"
"The more you use it, the more it gets?" "And you poop so cleanly?"
Jingshu's eyes lit up, almost turning into little stars. This thing is great. She grabbed a handful of crystals, then looked at the mountain of desert roses and said, "Mr. Zhou, you said we should take these back to China. A small piece of it can be sold for 10 virtual coins. Isn't that too much? This can be used as laundry detergent all the time, and it won't run out. The key is that it will keep growing."...
Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up: "These are all good things. We don't need any precious and rare things. What we lack is to provide some good benefits to the common people and get some things that the common people can use. 10 virtual coins are too expensive. I think 2 virtual coins are suitable.
Let's take them all back and think of a way to produce more crystals. That way, everyone can use this good thing, which would be a good deed."
Jing Shu gave a thumbs up. "As expected of you, Master. Even if it's only 2 virtual coins, this mountain of crystals must be worth quite a bit of money. Let me research it later and see if I can speed up the process of their growth and differentiation."
Zhou Laodian
Nodding: "Okay, Jing girl will be left to you."
All three of them were in a happy mood.
Especially Jingshu.
Why? Because she was basically certain, why were there so few of these things before the apocalypse, and why did they suddenly become more common after the apocalypse?
There is only one truth!
That is, it must be related to dark energy. If a tiny bit of dark energy can really catalyze these crystals in large quantities, then this would be a really good thing.
The handful that Jingshu grabbed had thousands of particles. Just imagine how many there would be if they were used for large-scale catalysis. And with so many people in the country, every family would need some of this stuff, right?
Although it’s not expensive, it’s impossible to buy several of them, right?
Then you have to buy 10 and get 1 free. Although you will never use them up, this thing is so small and easy to lose. If you lose one today and one tomorrow, then after a month or two, they will all be lost and you will have to buy new ones, right?
So, this is a long-term consumable daily necessity. Although the selling price is a bit low, it is profitable in the long run, which means it is a long-term thing.
So Jingshu planned to study it and then take over this business.
Insects are not suitable for transporting such small particles. Jingshu handed these desert roses, which are worth a lot of money, to the Hulk for transportation. Seeing the Hulk transporting all these beautiful little crystals away, Jingshu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
As the omnipotent Hulk, his advantage is his omnipotence, but his disadvantage is that there are too few of them, which is really a pity.
Boom boom boom!
The entire underground warehouse began to shake.
Yang Yang listened to the voice on the walkie-talkie. Because the bodyguard team was too powerful and killed all the people above, the other side decided to use heavy-damage weapons to indiscriminately bomb this side.
Yang Yang said, "I don't know how much longer we can hold out here, but I think it's almost over. Let's take what's important and take as much as we can. If we can't take anything, forget it. It's almost time for us to withdraw. Their main force has already returned from the dock. If we don't leave now, we'll be easily surrounded."
Jing Shu nodded and said, "Then we'll wait for the main force at the dock to arrive, and then we'll all withdraw. We'll lure the enemy away, and then we can return to the dock and grab another wave."
Yang Yang showed a knowing expression, you are worthy of it, Jingshu!
Old Zhou leisurely wandered around the underground warehouse. This was the most relaxing time he'd ever had as a clerk in all his years. He didn't have to do anything; his subordinates did it all. If he'd had such a complete staff earlier, his reputation as a tyrant wouldn't have become so infamous. Just think about this whole thing.
