"Since the beginning of the twentieth century, mankind's science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and a number of research stations have been built on the Antarctic continent one after another, and each one is closer to the South Pole." Endel said.

"A few years ago, the Americans tried to build a research station at the South Pole, less than 200 kilometers away, and we were afraid that they would find out about the existence of the Valley of the Hearth, so we secretly caused them a little trouble to abandon their original construction plan and move to a farther outlying area."

After a pause, he continued: "But in the second half of this year, the Americans and the Europeans joined forces and came to the South Pole again to prepare for the construction of the research station, this time they have a large number of men and sufficient materials, and the little trouble we have created cannot affect their plans at all, and now they have laid the foundation, and it is estimated that the research station will be built soon." ”

Luo Wei was silent for a moment, and then said: "If they want to build, let them build it, isn't it still more than a hundred kilometers apart, and here is surrounded by mountains [567 Chinese], the terrain is hidden, it should be unlikely to be discovered." ”

"In case ...... is discovered"

Luo Wei said again: "It's not a big deal if it is discovered, the research stations are all led by the human government, and they will be measured." ”

"Okay, I see." Ander nodded.

"Knock knock." Rowe and Andel were talking when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As he spoke, Luo Wei turned his head to look, and saw a man with a Sven appearance walking in, and came to him with a somewhat restrained movement: "Great Lord." ”

When Endel saw him, he couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Dufran, are you going to recommend your idea to the Great Lord this time?" ”

"Yes." Duflan nodded.

Luo Wei was a little curious: "What thoughts?" ”

"Before joining the Order, Dufran was a good banker and a good businessman, but unfortunately he was framed and sent to prison until one of our old knights found and rescued him. ”

However, although he is now a paladin, he still has a mind for mundane commerce, and has repeatedly proposed that the Knights make commercial investments. Now many people call him "Merchant Knight". ”

Rowe looked at the restrained Dufran and Dufran said, "That's right, Grand Lord. I think more money is necessary, at least not harmful, even for the Silver Hand. If the Order invests in secular business, I am willing to contribute voluntarily to manage the wealth of the Order. ”

At the beginning, someone in the Supreme Sanctuary also suggested that Luo Wei make a business investment in the world, but he was too troublesome so he refused.

However, Rowe does not reject business in his heart, after all, as Dufran said, more money at least does not hurt. And if you think about it, it is sometimes much more convenient to have some worldly resources at your disposal on Earth.

So he thought for a moment: "Is this your interest?" ”

Dufran hesitated: "So to speak. For me, managing a business is really a challenging and fun activity. ”

Luo Wei mused: "Although money does not equal sin, people who often deal with money will inevitably encounter more temptations and traps. Dufran, can you guarantee that you won't get caught up in it? ”

"Absolutely. In fact, as a banker, I had been tested by money for a long time, otherwise I would not have been qualified to enter the hands of silver. Dufran said.

Luo Wei nodded, the Silver Hand has always had character requirements for recruiting newcomers, at least it is also a moral character above average, and the liquidation colors are all pale yellow or even almost pure white, and profiteers and the like will definitely not be able to enter.

"I think I can try, Andre." He looked at Ander.

Andrew: "This...... But we don't seem to have much money in secular circulation. ”

"Just exchange some gold for some, and I still have some dollars in my hand, and I don't need them most of the time." Rowe said.

Dufran shook his head and said, "Great Lord, I think it's best not to exchange gold for currency, it's very uneconomical. ”

"Do you have any good advice?"

Du Fran: "You are the god of Asgard, I think you should be able to easily get some things that Earth does not have, such as the technological creations of alien civilizations, and the entrepreneurs of Earth will definitely be willing to pay a high price for them." ”

Luo Wei felt that this was indeed the case, some technological creations were not expensive in the universe, but they were of great value to human beings at this time, far more meaningful than gold.

He thought about it and took out a fist-sized round stone from the Holy Covenant space, the round stone emitted a pale blue light, and it looked very beautiful, and those who didn't know the goods might think that it was some kind of jewelry.

In fact, this is the high-level energy he got on Emperor Shia's spaceship.

Luo Wei handed the cobblestone to Dufran: "This is an energy stone, it is a fairly high-level technological creation, ...... it Well, sell it to a guy named Howard Stark. ”

"Stark Industries?" Dufran said.

"Yes." Rowe nodded, he was sure that old Stark would be interested in this kind of thing.

"As for what you can sell, it's up to you, Duflan Knight."

……

A few days later.

Stark Industries' headquarters tower is quietly located in the bustling city of New York City, and as one of the world's top technology companies, it enjoys extraordinary treatment even in New York.

In many people's minds, Stark Industries is the mecca of technology and industry.

At this moment, Howard Stark, the founder of the company, is standing alone in a small conference room, with all kinds of drawings on the table in front of him.

Flipping through these complex industrial drawings, Old Stark frowned, obviously encountering a huge problem.

A round-faced middle-aged man came in from outside the door, and Old Stark, who was obviously familiar with him, said without raising his head, "You're here, Vanke." We'd better solve this problem before the end of the year, otherwise the next stage of the Ark reactor will be postponed again. ”

Anton Vanke shook his head: "Stark, we should have made this preparation a long time ago. The Ark reactor is so much ahead of its time that I wouldn't be surprised if I don't see it in my lifetime. ”

Old Stark was silent.

Anton Vanke added: "But if our plan succeeds, maybe the whole world will be changed because of it, which is definitely a great achievement." ”

"yes."

The two began to discuss all kinds of difficult terms around various industrial drawings, sometimes arguing, sometimes pondering.

Just then, a secretary knocked on the door and entered, "Mr. Stark, there's someone downstairs who wants to see you." ”

"Who?" Stark Sr. asked.

"He calls himself Dr. Duflan and says he wants to make a big deal with you," the secretary said. ”
