Chapter 575: Dragon's Blood !!
Watching Bruce Hope leave, Henry felt a little excited and indescribable, thinking, when the flying saucer goes into the sky, I wonder if people will be shocked and point at the flying saucer and shout 'ufo'?
"Hehe......"
Henry smiled to himself, and then began to review the papers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
A week later, Steve Huggins, the head of the Gene Umbrella X Lab, suddenly called Henry and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have discovered a substance that plays a vital role in the development of genetic evolution potion, and with it, we will soon be able to develop genetic evolution potion!"
When Henry heard this, he was immediately shocked, and he couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "What kind of substance?"
"It's the dragon's blood of the dragon's blood tree, a plant endemic to Socotra!! "Steve Huggins replied.
"The dragon's blood of the dragon's blood tree?!" Henry muttered, and the image of the dragon's blood tree suddenly came to his mind, the most famous and unique plant in Socotra, with a unique and bizarre appearance, its branches and leaves upturned and densely formed an inverted umbrella-shaped canopy. It grows in arid semi-desert areas, and it is said that in ancient times, when dragons fought elephants, the dragon's blood spilled on the earth, and later grew from the soil as dragon's blood tree. When the dragon's blood tree is damaged, it emits a crimson plasma-like mucus - a slime that is believed to be dragon's blood, hence the name of the dragon's blood tree!
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that the ordinary 'dragon blood' is useless, and it needs to be refined by the Gene Umbrella Company in a special way. The dragon blood of an entire dragon's blood tree is just enough to refine a vial of genetic evolution elixir. In other words, it takes a dragon's blood tree to make a vial of genetic evolution potion!"
"How many dracaena trees are there on Socotra?" Henry immediately asked a crucial question!
"There are not many of them, less than 100,000! The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has included them in the Red List of Threatened Species -- the Vulnerable List! Due to deforestation, overgrazing and urban development by the locals, the number of dracaena trees is declining year by year!"
Steve Huggins continued, "According to the scientific community, the longest-lived tree in the world is the dragon's blood tree, which has lived for more than 8,000 years. Because the dragon's blood tree has such a long lifespan, the essence it extracts has a unique effect!!"
"Steve Huggins, can the dragon's blood tree be cultivated?" asked Henry again.
"Of course, but the longer the lifespan of the dragon's blood tree, the better the quality of the 'dragon's blood' it secretes!"
"Yes, I see. Since dracaena trees can be cultivated, then the gene umbrella company immediately planted more dracaena trees on Socotra Island! For those long-lived dracaena trees, then find a relatively large place, transplant these trees, and in order to ensure the survival rate, transplant them together with the soil!!
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
When Henry hung up the phone, he was thrilled. The dracaena is essential for the development of genetic evolution potions, so it must be protected.
"It seems that Socotra Island must be heavily protected!In the future, this will not only be a military base for the Williams Empire, but also a very important experimental base for the Gene Umbrella Company!" Henry muttered to himself, picking up the phone and preparing to give orders.
Henry decided to send more troops to Socotra.
Socotra Island is composed of 4 small islands and 2 rocky islets, one of which is designated as a military forbidden land, and it is strictly forbidden for any unrelated people to enter the island, and the genetic umbrella experimental base and the longevity dragon's blood tree are placed here! There is no doubt that the best "dragon blood", Henry will definitely keep it for himself and his relatives, and the rest will be distributed to his subordinates. In the future, even if the genetic evolution agent is developed, it will not be sold to the public. Henry wants it to make the Williams Empire strong!
At this time, Henry stared at the map and couldn't help but frown. After all, Socotra is a bit far away from the Williams Empire, and only by taking Somalia can we increase our control over Socotra!
Today, the situation in Somalia is very chaotic, the Austin armed forces are well armed, but the coalition army is large in number, for a time, Austin and the coalition army formed a stalemate, and all kinds of small battles almost did not stop every day.
"Order Austin to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces as soon as possible and unify Somalia!"
Henry gave another order.
When will the petty fight be fought to unify Somalia, Henry does not have the kung fu to wait for them. Reunify Somalia as soon as possible and let Somalia be annexed to the Williams Empire as soon as possible, so that Henry can justifiably engage in development in Somalia and not let Somalia drag the empire back. When Somalia is strong, it will be able to echo and rely on Socotra from afar!
