In Ariel Hansen's lab, a new culture tank has been set up, and inside the culture tank are two floating knail-sized Kedarin crystals.

"The Kedarin crystal is indeed growing, but this production rate is almost undetectable, and the demand for energy is extremely large, if it is according to the normal industrial electricity on the earth, it is estimated that it will not grow a cubic centimeter for hundreds of years, even if our reactor is fully powered, it can grow one or two cubic centimeters in a month," Ariel Hansen said to Chris on the side while operating the instrument.

Hearing the answer given by Ariel Hansen, Chris was heartbroken, and after working for a long time, he still didn't need the Kaedalin crystal for a while.

“Shoo-ee！” Next to Chris is a floating probe, Probius.

It's just that compared to the active probe when Chris was first pulled out, the current Probis seems a little sluggish, if you look closely, you can find that the Kedarin crystal that is the core of Probis is missing two small horn ......, which is also the reason why Probis seems to be a little sluggish.

Although Chris really wanted the Kedarin Crystal, he was obviously not so mad as to really drop a cute thing like Probis, he only intercepted two small pieces on the crystal core of Probis.

This will not cause any irreparable damage to Probis at all...... Probis looks languishing just because it's unhappy...... It's like a person who originally had handsome (beautiful) hair, and suddenly someone clicked and cut a few general gaps that a few dogs had gnawed on you, no one would be happy, let alone the extremely smart artificial intelligence Probius.

Chris touched Probius's head, comforted this cute thing, and quickly recovered his mood, hawkers, anyway, draw cards once a month, there will be opportunities in the future, what are you afraid of, and isn't it energy supply, one reactor is not enough, just build a few more.

"By the way, didn't you say you were going to add some trouble to S.H.I.E.L.D., I feel like you're having a lot of idleness besides releasing that evidence," Ariel Hansen asked, snatching Probis from Chris's hand.

"Why not, it's just that I don't have to do those things myself" Chris touched the bridge of his nose, walked behind the female doctor, and hugged the other party's waist.

"Don't make a fuss, Probis is here," the female doctor slapped Chris on the hand.

Chris looked at the hand that had been slapped, and then at Probis, who was enjoying the facial cleanser in the arms of the female doctor...... As the door to the lab opened, a cute probe was thrown out of the door and snapped against the wall.

“Shoo-ee！” Probius, who came down from the wall, wandered around the laboratory gate twice unwillingly, but the door would not open, and finally the helpless little detective found a place to play by himself...... Encountering an owner like Chris is considered to have been molded for eight lifetimes.

………………

Asia, 38th Parallel Demilitarized Zone.

Since the Korean War, the North and South Sticks have been based on the 38th Parallel, and the demilitarized zone of two kilometers from the north and south has been demarcated on the basis of this military demarcation line.

And now, the arrival of a group of uninvited guests will turn the situation here upside down......

In a Beibang military camp near the demilitarized zone, Major General Li Zhengxi of Beibang stood on the tarmac with a group of subordinates waiting for something.

It was September, and the weather in Beibang had begun to get cold, but Li Zhengxi didn't feel it at all, and still looked into the distance against the cold wind.

Finally, a Mi-8 helicopter appeared in view, and from far and near, finally slowly landed on the tarmac.

Seeing the plane landing, General Li Zhengxi immediately led a group of his men to meet him.

On the helicopter, an Eastern European man also walked down with a group of men, this person is the current leader of the Russian extremist organization, Makarov.

"Mr. Makarov, I didn't expect you to be able to come in person" Seeing Makarov, Li Zhengxi smiled and gave the other party a big hug.

"General Li is polite, I am very much looking forward to our cooperation, after I lost my business partners in the Middle East, my business is quite bleak, and after the United Nations embargo, there are really not many people who can get rebel diamonds," Makarov said with a smile.

The sources of profit for Russian extremist organizations are mainly arms, population, and drugs, which are basically how to make money.

And a chaotic place like Africa has always been their main arms dumping ground...... Uncle Black is not picky about weapons at all, as long as he can fight loudly and kill people, he basically does not refuse to come.

And don't think that Africa is very poor, although the people of Africa are very poor, but the African continent is actually a very rich land, rich in gold, diamonds, and all kinds of precious stones, these things are very valuable in the Western world, and these resources are basically in the hands of the main customers of the Russian extremist groups, those rebel warlords.

Therefore, exchanging arms for gold, diamonds, and jewelry in Africa has always been a major source of profit for extremist organizations.

However, if you want to sell arms to Africa, the Middle East is an unavoidable hurdle.

In the previous Zakhaev period, because of the Alasad in the Middle East, local snakes such as the Ten Commandments Gang were allies, and the arms sales of Russian extremist groups to Africa were not a problem at all.

But now everything has changed, Zakaev is dead, Alassad has become a mourning dog, and the Ten Rings have become the main target of the US military because of their cooperation with two allies, and they have to temporarily withdraw from the area, and the remaining umbrella branches led by Wesker are still clinging to their own acres and three-thirds.

As a result, the control of Russian extremist groups in the Middle East has now dropped considerably, and arms sales to Africa have become a major problem.

This is not counting, if the US military strikes Persia and the Middle East is stabilized and withdrawn, Makarov will not find allies to resume the arms trade in Africa.

But the problem is that the US military's attack on Persia not only did not make the Middle East more stable, but became more chaotic, and countless small organizations of all kinds sprung up like mushrooms.

In particular, an organization called al-Qaeda is the most active, and it has carried out suicide attacks against Western forces, so now the US military has not withdrawn its troops in the Middle East, but is still strengthening its forces in the region.

As a result, Makarov's arms trade in Africa was basically cold, and he barely got in touch with customers during this period, and traded twice, but instead of making money, he lost goods and lost manpower because of the intervention of the US military.

To do this, Makarov had to find a way to find new customers.

And the North Stick, just like that, came into Makarov's line of sight.

Originally, Makarov was interested in the line of the North Stick.

Because the North Stick is too poor.

And unlike Uncle Black, who is poor on the surface, but in fact has all kinds of rare resources and can't use them, the North Stick, which has nothing, is really poor.

But the object of Makarov's deal this time, this General Li Zhengxi, is a capable person.

Because under the condition that the forces of Russian extremist organizations are constantly losing in Africa, this product can actually get extremely high-quality diamonds from Africa.

This couldn't help but surprise Makarov, and even rushed to participate in the transaction in person in order to avoid accidents.

Of course, there are also special reasons for the special content of this transaction.

Because this time, what Makarov wants to sell to the North Bat is not only the backward weapons of the former Soviet Union that have been basically eliminated by the first world, but also real high-tech weapons, and even new weapons that even the United States has not fully mastered - space-based weapons.

Of course, space-based weapons, something that the United States has not fully mastered until now, and Makarov would not have been able to get it under normal circumstances.

But someone had no choice but to hang him...... That's not right, either, because it's not humans who are hanging on Makarov, it's Transformers, Decepticons.

Before Zakaev died, he handed over the Decepticon line to Makarov, the heir, but after a few contacts, Makarov knew that it was impossible for him to get any benefits from these Decepticons.

Even he had given up the idea of in-depth cooperation with the Decepticons.

However, at this time, the Transformers Hurricane, who had helped Zakayev, once again extended an olive branch to Makarov, Zakhayev's successor.

This situation made Makarov a little surprised and ecstatic at the same time, especially since Hurricane also provided him with some very special military technologies, and this time the space-based weapon as a trade item was one of them.

"Okay, I hope we can cooperate more in the future, by the way, Mr. Van Beek has been waiting for a long time, let's not delay too long" In the face of Makarov's international arms dealer boss, Li Zhengxi, although he is a general of a country, does not dare to slack off, and said very respectfully.

"Yes, yes, we can't keep our Protos (the god of wealth in Greek mythology) waiting" Makarov nodded, and the Van Beek in Li Zhengxi's mouth was the international broker who provided the African blood diamonds, and he was also a very important party to this deal.

Makarov was still very curious about this international broker, because the other party had an incredible number of African blood diamonds in his hands, and he had never heard of the name of this broker in the underground world before, which couldn't help but make Makarov's heart rise to curiosity and at the same time, he couldn't help but have an extra heart.
