Chapter 327 Ten Years of Change (Part 2)

Building a radiation power factory is not just as simple as it seems.

Lei Luo has strict safety standards for it to prevent the leakage of radiation power, and has implemented maximum rescue measures for possible accidents.

As a result, the investment standards required to build a radiation power production factory will naturally rise sharply, which is simply beyond the reach of some small businessmen.

With so much investment, all you can get is only 1g of radiation power per month.

After the factory obtains the power of radiation, the Principality will purchase it at a high price of 5,500 gold coins per gram, and then the Principality will centralize it to the Solar Energy Laboratory, where Lei Luo will convert it into Radiation Capital, which will be used as a raw material for the research of fission radiation weapons.

So converted.

The gold coins required to produce 1000g of radiant essence on paper alone reached 5.5 million!

This kind of terrifying figure can be regarded as an astonishing profit for any chamber of commerce.

You must know that the annual tax revenue of the Principality is about 1 billion gold coins, 5% of which is invested in military construction, which is 50 million gold coins, including the replacement of equipment and daily consumption of major fortresses, and Lei Luo actually accounts for one-tenth of the Principality's annual military investment. one!

Of course, this is just the minimum investment in raw materials on paper.

According to Lei Luo's calculations, the actual investment required to make a fission radiation weapon is likely to exceed 15 million gold coins!

What's even scarier is...

Once this kind of weapon is successfully developed, the Principality's investment in it may be bottomless in the long term.

Although the chamber of commerce does not know the power of this weapon, but with a keen sense of gold coins, they can discover the huge profits in it, so they are sparing no effort to build it. However, because Lei Luo's safety review standards are too strict, there are only 14 so far. They are just production factories, most of which were built in recent years.

Safety is the bottom line that Lei Luo promised M.

It is worth noting that one of these 14 factories is invested by Xiao Kang's Star Chamber of Commerce.

The so-called Star Chamber of Commerce is of course because of White Star.

this day.

Lei Luo called the heads of the eight major chambers of commerce belonging to the 14 factories to the laboratory and held a secret meeting.

"I'm here to call you all today because according to the principality's policy, we are required to speed up the production of radiation power as much as possible and complete weapons experiments as soon as possible. However, we must not let up on the safety of the factory. What suggestions do you have?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Compared with these chamber of commerce bosses, Xiao Kang is both the founder of the Star Chamber of Commerce and the person in charge of the factory, so his strength is really not worth mentioning.

If it weren't for his special relationship with Lei Luo, even the giants of the principality's chamber of commerce would not even look at him directly.

"I have a proposal."

The person in charge of the Red Ridge branch of Baicaoxiang Chamber of Commerce is a middle-aged woman.

She likes folding fans very much. Even now in autumn, she still plays with them from time to time in her hands. The rich scent of perfume on her body can almost make people unable to breathe.

"According to my observation, the speed at which the power of radiation is collected is closely related to the intensity of sunlight. Although Dubit Redridge is almost the hottest and most arid place in the Principality, there are more..."

"stop!"

Lei Luo interrupted her.

He said straightforwardly: "Factory construction must not leave the Principality. All information about the power of radiation is classified as a first-class secret of the Principality, on the same level as Vladik's King of War Munitions Factory."

Behind the Baicaoxiang Chamber of Commerce, there are some shadows of the Principality of Wellland. Both Lei Luo and others know this.

The female person in charge was interrupted by Lei Luo and refused outright. She couldn't help but sigh.

The person in charge of the Donggu Merchant Alliance said slowly: "Master, do you want us to invest more?"

This is a lean old man. He shook his head and said: "It's not that we are unwilling to invest more. The key is that the future development of your weapon is unclear, but the cost of investing in a factory is indeed not low. In case of such a situation in the future, Weapons have no future, and if the principality cancels investment, won’t our factory construction be in vain?”

After a pause, the old man's eyes flashed.

"More importantly, as far as I know, our production technology is to collect the power of radiation by consuming crystal stones, but the master's laboratory can already replace it with some kind of energy source. The price difference is every A full month of nearly a thousand gold coins, if..."

"The confidential knowledge of the solar energy reactor involves the principality's confidentiality treaty and must not be sold."

Lei Luo's words were very direct and left no room for discussion, which made the head of the branch of the Chamber of Commerce frown.

Lei Luo was naturally aware of this.

He hesitated and then said: "However, after the laboratory's solar energy reactor was upgraded two years ago, the energy generated has far exceeded the daily consumption of the laboratory at this stage. Therefore, the laboratory can use the energy at a preferential price. Selling it to your factory will reduce the energy consumption cost of your factory to about one-fifth of the original value."

Well?

Everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Selling energy?

This is unprecedented in the principality!

The source of energy is too large in size, and the design is extremely sophisticated, so only the towers of major research institutes have it. Even the advanced Vladik in the principality has no precedent of selling energy.

The Solar Energy Laboratory's reactor, if used in the right place, is of great value. It's amazing!

Lei Luo's words moved several people.

After half an hourglass.

At the end of the meeting, several people left, leaving only Lei Luo and Xiao Kang.

Xiao Kang chuckled, took out the small gold abacus on his waist and said: "Each factory has a monthly energy cost of 200 gold coins. If there are 20 factories, the laboratory can generate an additional 4,000 gold coins per month. This is every month. , It’s a huge profit!”

Xiao Kang looked at Lei Luo with longing and said, "When I was in school, instructor Jenny was right, knowledge is money!"

Lei Luo's forehead darkened.

"knowledge is power."

…

Corleone quietly came to the Solar Energy Laboratory.

Along with it, there is M.

The two of them looked at Lei Luo in silence, which made Lei Luo quite nervous and confused, "What's wrong?"

"The Guardian Conference will be held on Thunder Arc Island in three months."

M's voice was quite depressed.

"I want to recommend you. According to the organization's practice, the title of M will be reserved for you for 30 years. Within 30 years, you can choose the time to compete with the dark network leader in the organization for this position of great guardian."

Thunder Arc Island?

Lei Luo had never heard of this place.

Compared to M, Corleone's expression is more serious.

"Lei Luo, you may not know much about the Guardian Conference. This is not a simple meeting, but a meeting related to the life and death of mankind. It must be a great guardian who discovered something major that may endanger the life and death of mankind."

Humanity's survival?

Seeing the old monster being so serious, Lei Luo couldn't help but look stern.

He frowned and said, "Could it be that the Dark World is about to take action?"

"Unless the Dark World launches the Black Death again, even if he overthrows the Holy See, according to the Guardian Agreement, it cannot be used as a reason to open a Guardian Conference. In addition to the convention of once every hundred years, such a conference must be held in advance. It is a matter of life and death for mankind."

Lei Luo took a deep breath.

"Is it possible that Ye Mu Xueyan is doing something big?"

M said slowly: "It should be... that's probably the case. After all, the war in the Death Swamp has been going on for more than two years. It seems that the Holy See has not gained an advantage yet, and we don't know what the plans of the blood derivatives are. Do they really Do you think that by uniting with the Dark World, you can plan the land of Star Curtain?"

"Anyway, Lei Luo, please make arrangements as soon as possible these days. As my recommender, you will accept the mission together with other shadow leaders. I hope this conference is just an ordinary extermination mission."

"Extermination mission?"

Corleone said solemnly: "Just like the literal meaning, in the death storm outside the Star Curtain Land, there will occasionally be some eye of the evil god temple that expands rapidly, and may develop to a higher level at any time, so the size of their eye It will also expand rapidly at the same time, and it will be easier for us to discover. For such a dangerous civilization, it must be exterminated before it grows up, otherwise it is likely to grow into a new night place in the future!"

M added: "Every long-range crusade, in addition to the main goal of the expedition into the night, is also part of the crusade's mission to eliminate these lower civilizations that may threaten humanity in the future."
