Chapter 29 Open Source and Reduce Expenditure

The desert oasis created out of thin air is only the size of two football fields, which is already the limit of what can be achieved with the cooperation of the transcendents hired by Damien, after all, the only ones who can come in handy are Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze, Harley Quinn is here to be funny, and Deathstroke can only be a security captain.

Terra is even more bizarre, she can control large rocks and fine dust, but she can't do anything about the sand in the middle of the particle size, and Damian had expected her to rise from the ground like a bald man who could rub the pyramids in the desert in his memory, but she was disappointed.

In addition, the center of the desert is limited by energy, and Mr. Freeze's temperature controller cannot operate at full power, and the air conditioning produced is only a kilometer in radius, which is very inefficient in condensing free water in the air.

Some people may ask, how can there be water vapor in the desert that can condense into small lakes?

This is the lack of knowledge, short-sightedness caused by misunderstanding, the desert transpiration rate is high, but it does not mean that there is no water in the air at all, the dry pole of the earth, the Atacama Desert in northern Chile in South America, the average annual precipitation is only 0.1 mm, can be used "fog net" to achieve condensation and water storage.

The average annual precipitation in the Sahara Desert is 50 mm, which is 500 times that of the dry pole, and the efficiency of condensation and water storage is even higher.

With limited energy, Damien's environmental team had to experiment with building an ecosystem covering the area of two football fields, and the only way to completely change the desert ecology was to wait until the seeds of the sacred tree were planted and the towering sacred tree was cultivated.

However, before planting the sacred tree, it is necessary to make some preliminary preparations, but it is not just a matter of throwing the tree species into the sand to make the sacred tree saplings survive, at least a large ecosystem covering an area of tens of kilometers is needed to maintain the nutrients required for the initial growth of the sacred tree.

Now the Konoha Foundation's tree planting brigade is stuck in a bottleneck, due to energy constraints, it is impossible to reduce the temperature and condense water on a large scale, and if there is not enough water source, Poison Ivy will not be able to grow a large number of plants, so she can only build a small oasis ecosystem first and slightly improve the desert living conditions at the top of the foundation.

The energy technology of the DC universe is far inferior to the Marvel universe, and it is replaced by the Marvel universe, and a set of ark reactors will completely solve the energy bottleneck, and no matter how bad it is to invest in the fusion reactor of Dr. Octopus, you can also get a steady stream of energy supply, but the DC universe does not say that there are no new elements, and even palladium cannot be used to make small nuclear fuel reactors to generate electricity, and nuclear energy is resisted by the Holy Mother of Environmental Protection from all walks of life, and it is hard to think that it is not a clean energy.

Damian can also understand this strange mentality, after all, this magical world is not peaceful, super criminals are prone to sabotage everywhere, and the battle with superheroes can also be torn apart, even if the safety factor of the nuclear power plant is high, no matter how rigorous and serious the engineer is, it can't stand being directly smashed and blasted to cause terrible nuclear leakage.

Damian stole the new energy technology data of Wayne Group from the Batcave supercomputer, but it is a pity that these new energy technologies are all around "wind energy" and "solar energy", and he is not keen on the development and utilization of nuclear energy, and the application level of nuclear power technology is completely not up to the level of black technology, and the utilization rate of nuclear energy is not high.

Moreover, the world's major superhero teams are keeping a close eye on nuclear fuel, for fear that supervillains like the Joker will steal to make nuclear bombs and dirty bombs, and even if Damian has the money to buy it on the black market, he is worried that Superman will detect it, and it will take a second or two to fly to investigate.

The tree planting is not going well, and Damian can only put the work on hold until the energy bottleneck is solved, and instead focus on infrastructure construction and build a huge secret base in the middle of the desert to serve as his nest.

Just like what Terra is now engaged in is the construction of a desert airport, in Niger, where there is no road, if you want to transport supplies to the heart of the desert, you can only rely on air transportation.

In the previous few material deliveries, they all relied on helicopters, which was too inefficient, so Damien decided to build a desert airport and use large transport planes to transfuse blood to the Oasis base to support the subsequent construction of the project.

Although when he left the Assassin League, Damian stole a large amount of money from his grandfather and mother, totaling more than 30 billion US dollars, but a large part of it is fixed assets and shares, and the liquidity is not much.

Therefore, Damian seems to be sunbathing leisurely on vacation, but in fact, in addition to worrying about the slow progress of the tree planting business, he is also thinking about how to make money to support his life.

The original money-making business of the League of Assassins generally had two major items.

The first is to kill, as long as you give enough money, whether it is a politician or a celebrity, even if it is a superhero, the League of Assassins will kill you.

The second is to sell the water from the pool of Seralus to prolong the lives of some dying rich people, which is even higher than the income from assassination.

Now that Damien has broken away from the Assassin Alliance and wants to establish a new organization to clear his name, he will naturally not continue to engage in the murderous business, and the pool of Salalus cannot be taken away from the cliff camp, and the life extension business cannot be continued.

Having lost two major sources of income, the new organization he had split off from had fallen into an embarrassing situation of running insane deficits every day.

The basic necessities have to be transported by air by transport planes, you can imagine how much money is burned to maintain this desert oasis base, and at this rate to throw money into the desert for nothing, Damien calculated an account, but he is afraid that before the divine tree can be hit, he will have to sell his assets to fill this bottomless pit.

The top priority is to open up new sources of funding to ensure that the cost of maintaining the growth of the sacred tree is maintained, and the oasis base is built.

After thinking about it for a long time and still not having a clue, Damian sent someone to call Deathknell, who was in charge of guarding the perimeter of the oasis, to ask him for advice.

“…… Above, your road is relatively wide, is there any good deal you can help introduce? ”

Deathstroke blurted out: "Of course there is!" As I mentioned to you last time, there is a sect called the Blood God Cult that is willing to pay 100 million dollars to hire the best mercenaries to help them capture a team of superheroes. With the strength of our team, there is no need to send spies to divide the division, and each one can easily defeat the team composed of that little kid with a frontal attack. ”

"You're really keen on bullying children, and you still can't forget it, do you have any deep hatred with that teenage team?"

Damian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Didn't I say it, there is no need to cause the hostility of superheroes for just a little money, what kind of Blood God Sect, it doesn't sound like a serious sect, we are mixed with this evil force, and if we don't complete the task, we will be hacked and blacked, what do you think, you must take their broken mission, it's just Shi Lezhi!" ”

Knell shrugged and said: "Working and getting money is the way for our mercenaries to survive, the Blood God Sect is willing to pay, and I am willing to accept the task, who makes decent superheroes like to roll up their sleeves and do dirty work, even if they are particularly rich, they refuse to hire me?" ”

"Wait!"

The black-haired boy seemed to get a hint, and slapped his face and said, "Yes, you are a mercenary, I am not a mercenary, I don't need others to hire me, I can do whatever I want." Since the Blood God Sect spent a lot of money to hire you to capture superheroes, it means that their combat effectiveness is not good, so we simply come to the black and eat the black, and destroy the weak chicken sect that can afford to pay 100 million US dollars, won't all their money be mine? Extinguishing the evil sect is a righteous move, and making some money by the way is equivalent to accumulating justice funds, and it will not offend superheroes, killing two birds with one stone! ”

Knell was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "This violates the professional ethics of mercenaries, we can't take action against the employer!" ”

"That's all you have to offer!" The black-haired boy pursed his lips disdainfully: "The boss is not small, and he can be a mercenary for the rest of his life, and he is not ashamed but proud!" Follow me to watch and study hard, and if you can learn a little fur, it will be enough for you to use it for a lifetime! Okay, if you don't want to do it, just go a little later, and I can do this job myself!

Kill dozens of ordinary people, you can get back hundreds of millions of dollars in a day or two, but you are a spy and a behind-the-scenes planner, and it will take a year to prepare in advance, even if you succeed, you will offend a large number of extraordinary people, and leave a bad reputation in the superhero circle, and you can only earn that hard-earned money a hundred times stronger! ”

Death Knell was so damaged by his suspected son that his old face was almost unbearable, and he ran out of the oasis with his face covered, as if his self-esteem had been hit by 10,000 points.
