Section 80 Before Departure [I]

Qin Lang decided to leave San Diego for a while...... There may be a few months. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

It was a trip he had planned for a long time. He would travel to the eastern part of the United States, then make a detour to the Transvaal in South Africa, then visit Abyssinia, and finally cross the Indian and Pacific Oceans back to California.

A globetrotting trip, but not a tourist. There were things he had to do personally: contacts with the consortia in the east, marketing his weapons, "spam" luncheon meat, and methamphetamine to the Boers, Abyssinians, and Italians.

By the way, he can also avoid the upcoming California gubernatorial election and stop thinking about Henry Henry for a short time. The task given to him by Markham.

Migrating Chinese has now become a headache. With the governor's orders and the joint efforts of white supremacists, the "Phoenix Environmental Protection Technology Research Center" recruited more and more Chinese, and soon exceeded 2,000 people.

The vast majority of these people can only be relocated to the Devil's Island base - although the facilities on the island can only support 600 workers and 50 mercenaries to live normally, the conditions in Area 51 are even worse, and 500 workers and 30 mercenaries are its limit.

And these people are just barely surviving there.

There was no such problem at the Devil's Island base, where food, drinking water, and other supplies were easily transported, and the biggest effect of increasing the number of people on the island was the deterioration of living conditions - many workers could only live in makeshift tents on the beach, but this was not a problem for them at all.

As long as the number of Chinese does not continue to increase in a short period of time, this terrible and difficult period can be passed quickly.

But who knows? The situation in California is not at all under the control of Qin Lang or Rachel, not even Henry. Mark Ham and John. B. Reddick also had no way to control it. So Rachel had been cursing them and using all the vicious words she knew and could think of.

If it weren't for the fact that Elizabeth's methamphetamine had been officially put into production, she might have learned some words that men would blush to curse two idiots who were losing a lot of dollars every day...... Two of the stupidest idiots California has ever seen.

She was really miserable by them!

"If I had the right to vote, I would definitely vote for James. Bud. She announced through gritted teeth.

"I don't think that changes anything." Qin Lang shrugged. In fact, he was telling him that California did not approve women to vote until 1911, and that women did not have the right to vote nationwide until 1920.

Male politicians these days usually don't take women's opinions seriously. That's another reason why Rachel hates the governor and lieutenant governor so much. Every time she attended a Republican rally, she was seen as a vase by the Republicans present.

For the shrewd businesswoman Rachel. For McBride, this was a serious blow to her pride and glory.

But the problem is that this is still the case at Democratic rallies. Therefore, it is extremely unwise to side with the Democrats because they are despised at Republican rally.

"Patience, you need more patience." Qin Lang said.

"I'm patientβ€”at least more patient than you, Qin." Rachel replied without showing weakness, "Do you have to leave now?" Duncan hasn't come back yet, O'Connor is still in Nevada, and at least one person in the company needs to be left to help me. ”

"You can find easy water."

"He's now spent all day aboard the Agile, with Captain Hamilton, learning seamanship." She was very angry, before buying the "Agile", Yi Shui's daily task was to learn and accompany her. But what about now? That stupid boy has completely taken the boat for his wife......

Uh, what the hell was I thinking? Rachel shook his head, back to the topic. "You should wait a few more days, Qin, Duncan is back from South America in a week."

"A week? I doubt he'll ever be able to come back on time...... However, since you insist, I can wait another three days. Qin Lang stood up, turned around, and walked towards the office door.

Rachel stopped him. "Where are you going?"

"Where else can I go? To find Elizabeth, of course. "He just took it for granted." We have some chemistry questions to explore. His purpose, to be precise, was to discuss with her the synthesis of anandamide and various poison gases, including mustard gas.

Elizabeth was the most perfect chemist he had ever met. It has nothing to do with her academic level. Qin Lang praised her so much for just one reason: Elizabeth only cared about what she could make, and didn't care what what she made would be used for, and she wouldn't reach out for money first like other mercenary guys.

She has all the potential to become an arms dealer's favorite type of chemist.

Of course, there are still some teachings......

But Rachel has his own views on Qin Lang's relationship with Elizabeth. "Qin, I have to warn you, I don't care if you're with Elizabeth, but," she suddenly accentuated her tone, "you'd better remember that she comes from a conservative Catholic family, so you'd better not do things you shouldn't do." ”

"Don't think of me as the kind of idiot who only thinks about things in the second half of Shen!" Qin Lang gave her a roll of his eyes in return. He knew exactly what she was talking about, which made him feel rather annoyed.

Why would he do that stupid thing? And, while Elizabeth is indeed attractive, he is not a hillbilly who has never seen a beautiful woman, and will be seduced by her to the point of desperation.

"Don't put your boring thoughts on me, Rachel."

"I'm just giving you a quick reminder, Qin." She certainly doesn't think there's something wrong with her ideas. And Rachel was even more convinced that it was perfectly natural to think that way. "I'm thinking about your future."

"Oh, really? That's a great thanks, but you'd better mind yourself, Rachel. Don't let Yi Shui slip out of your hands. Mind you, he's the kind of who needs you to take the initiative. ”

Then, Qin Lang strode out of the office, leaving the angry Rachel alone and angry.

For the next three days, Qin Lang spent most of his time with Elizabeth, studying the synthesis methods of amphetamines and various poison gases. It's easier than synthesizing methamphetamine β€” both the work of German chemists β€” and Elisabeth, who studied at a university in Germany, knew how to synthesize it, but had heard about it.

Only Lewis gas is slightly more troublesome. This chemical agent, which is usually mixed with mustard gas, has not yet been invented, nor is it the result of the research of German scientists, so Qin Lang and Elizabeth have to spend more time studying it.

Of course, three days is simply not enough to do this kind of thing.

Even the synthesis methods used to discuss other poison gases that have been developed are completely insufficient.

Therefore, Qin Lang planned to put aside the plan to synthesize poison gas for the time being, and wait until he returned to San Diego from Abyssinia to conduct a detailed study.

It's just that he's a little worried. According to Elizabeth's character, it is likely that she will synthesize poison gas on her own while he is gone. However, poison gas is not amphetamine or methamine amphetamine, and if you are not careful, it can have serious consequences, and the laboratory at Umbrella headquarters does not have the necessary equipment and safety conditions to synthesize poison gas.

So he warned her: "You must not synthesize any kind of poison gas alone while I am gone, Elizabeth." ”

"Are you worried about my death?" She was laughing, "Don't worry, I'm not going to be that careless." ”

"It's not a matter of being careful or careless, or even a matter of yours alone." Qin Lang frowned, "I don't want to hear that a serious tragedy has happened in the company's headquarters when I come back. ”

Elizabeth's eyebrows raised imperceptibly. "Do you care how many people die? Qin, you are an arms dealer, and what you sell is death. ”

"One million deaths is a statistic, but one hundred deaths is a tragedy." He had said this to Yi Shui, and now he had said it again to her. And he also issued a more serious warning: "If you must synthesize poison gas yourself, I can only travel with you." ”

"It's not a good idea, Qin." Her face changed, "You can't let me wander out with you for months with nothing to do, and besides, what if my father comes to Seattle to look for me?" ”

"You're not in Seattle right now, anyway. As for your father, let Rachel and O'Connor make up another lie. He shrugged, "Of course, even if your father finds out your secret, it's better than dying unexpectedly in the company's lab." ”

"Walking, this thing is absolutely not okay. I would never give up my chemistry studies and go on a boring trip. Her attitude was very resolute - too resolute, which made Qin Lang feel very depressed. He suddenly realized that after he had traveled back to 1893, most of the people he met were stubborn.

He didn't like that. "It's not up to youβ€”"

"But it's not up to you, Qin." It's not Elizabeth's voice, it's Rachel's. She's been in the chemistry lab for a while. "I agree to forbid Elizabeth from conducting dangerous chemical experiments, but she can't travel with you."

Her remarks didn't make Qin Lang feel strange, but he didn't understand why she came to the chemistry lab. "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to inform you that Duncan has returned."
