Whether the efficiency of energy acquisition is high or not can be compared to oil.

The global oil production per day is calculated in 10,000 barrels, and the daily oil production in Saudi Arabia alone is about 10 million barrels, and as of March 2022, the global oil production per day is about 100 million barrels.

As I said before, the size of the dark owl is about the same as the real owl, and about 100,000 owls sound like a lot, but if you pinch them together, they may not be able to produce less than the global oil production in a minute, how can such efficiency work?

As a result, Schiller began to organize everyone to further improve production efficiency, and the main solutions were those on the one hand, to reduce time costs, and on the other hand, to automate the whole process.

In terms of time cost, because it is really difficult for these children to concentrate for a long time, and if they don't want to sing and fool around with the pronunciation, they can't attract owls.

Moreover, it is difficult to ensure that all these children attend school on time, one will have something at home, and some will be sick, and the essence of doing this is actually to protect the children, so you can't put the cart before the horse to exploit them, in this case, the time cost is incompressible.

The use of human employees has such shortcomings, so everything falls on the head of mechanization development, if the machine can replace the human, then as long as the energy is sufficient, he can work all the time, there is no problem of absenteeism or bad state.

In this regard, Konstantin was almost driven crazy by Schiller, saying: "You want robots to use magic??? Do you hear that?! ”

"They don't even have souls! Even if you can produce that kind of syllable with a recording device, you can't attract an owl! ”

"That's why I need you." Schiller looked Konstantin in the eye and said, "You're just going to figure out how to make something that doesn't get tired, and then let them trick the owls."

Hal looked at Konstantin with some sympathy, he had never seen Konstantin so embarrassed and haggard.

Usually, Konstantin is a scumbag, and he still takes care of his image, otherwise he can't flirt everywhere, in the past, he always looked like a British ruffie, and he had a unique charm when he was serious, which made people unconsciously attracted to him.

Although he occasionally looks crazy and decadent due to overdoping, it imbues him with a punk aesthetic, and there are still people who eat it.

But now, Constantine can no longer be called punk, and there is only a distance between him and Robinson by a homemade spear.

Among the plans proposed by Schiller, Konstantin was the most tiring, because he had to arrange hundreds of squares around the entire school room, and he had not closed his eyes for more than a week, and his whole beard was unshaven and extremely haggard.

If Schiller hadn't promised him one percent of the energy, he wouldn't have done this kind of work, and now, even if Schiller promised him one percent of the energy, he wouldn't want to do this work.

Konstantin scolded: "You damned capitalist, vampire! Give me a little benefit, and you want me to work for you like this......"

Schiller stretched out another finger, shook it in front of him, and said, "Add another 10%, you can alone have 20%, Hal and I can only share 10%, Bruce doesn't even have 10%."

Konstantin was really going crazy, he felt that a demon called greed had found him again, and he could almost see the black flame burning behind Schiller, which made him even more crazy than any demon.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me, it looks like I'm going to have to talk to my old friend."

After saying that, Konstantin left, Schiller didn't know who his old friend was referring to, but he knew that he was afraid that some demons were going to be unlucky.

Two days later, the more emaciated Konstantin returned, along with a small voodoo doll, saying, "I contacted all the friends I could reach, and finally found a way."

He put the voodoo doll in his hand, then put it in front of several people, and said, "This is a kind of magic from Africa, a bit like the kind of spell used by the ghost mother, it is all for children."

"Among the tribes of Africa, they would put the soul of a dead child into a special voodoo doll, and the special devil would sense this soul, and then send the power into the voodoo doll, and exchange it for a soul, and the priests of the tribe could use this energy to cast spells."

"But where are we going to get the soul of a child?" Hal asked, "Don't tell me, you want ......"

"I didn't think I'd be a good person." Konstantin said with a sigh.

Bruce glanced at him, as if he was a little surprised, but Konstantin was telling the truth, whether it was in deeds or in heart, Konstantin was actually a good person, and in matters of principle, he was as unshakable as Batman.

"I contacted the devil who would respond to this spell, and he told me that human sacrifice is really very cunning, and that with the development of modern medicine today, fewer and fewer babies are dying, but the priests still want to continue using spells, and they have come up with another way."

"It may be possible to kill innocent children, but it is too inefficient, and they choose to deceive the devil and use a special ritual to forge the child's soul to attract the devil and then trap them there, so that they can use the power of the devil."

When Konstantin said this, he didn't think there was anything special at all, but Hal looked at Schiller, who looked at him and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" This only shows that human beings are like that, and I am not special. ”

Konstantin nodded approvingly, and he said: "If you want me to say, the best thing for human beings is to deceive and deceive, and we have a lot of tricks in this regard, even if it is a cunning devil, we will occasionally be fooled."

"However, their deception has been eliminated, because the devil has been fooled once, and he will not be fooled again, at most he will lose a little power, so now they have developed many other versions, but we don't need them."

"I found someone to contact the priest who would use this version of the deception, and he told me that the other materials needed to forge the child's soul were relatively simple, but the only thing that was a little difficult was the need for breast milk."

"That's easy." Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "The Wayne Group should be able to solicit breast milk from the society for a fee in the name of medical experiments, and as long as the price is high enough, it should be collected quickly."

"And one more question......" Schiller looked at Konstantin again and said, "Can the soul of a forged child sing?"

"Of course not, it's just a decoy, so I'll have to use another kind of magic to control this voodoo doll to sing."

"Do you need to control them all the time? So what if you're tired? Schiller asked a question again, and Konstantin took a deep breath and said: "Although I don't need to control them all the time, you are really a little too greedy, and you don't even want me to rest for a while......"

Schiller tilted his head away from him, and said, "On the extremely efficient production line, no one can rest, including me."

Several people shook their heads, obviously a little unbearable for him, even Bruce, who likes to pursue efficiency, felt that this was a bit too extreme.

But fortunately, it was not they who were exploited by Schiller, and it was the owl that was unlucky in the end.

After a few more days of preparation, Konstantin began to make raw materials with all his might, and in order to prevent Konstan from dying of exhaustion, Schiller also asked Hal to treat him with green light energy on the side.

As long as Konstantin is tired, Hal will give him a healing operation, and so. He was full of energy again, and under such inhumane exploitation, Konstantin made thousands of voodoo dolls in a matter of days.

Then, he began to cast a spell on each doll to manipulate the puppets, the same one he had used to control the ghosts, and when he had done so, he could make the voodoo dolls sing on their own.

Then, after placing the dolls in the center of those formations and starting the same process again, the efficiency increased several times, but Schiller was still not satisfied.

What he is not satisfied with is that every time he needs to manually clean the magic circle, and then go to inject energy into the Ark Reactor, although he is not tired, nor is he afraid of boredom, but it is still a waste of time, otherwise time is money, and there is no room for waste in the extremely efficient production mode.

Therefore, he forced Constantine to start a technical reform, allowing him to establish a line for automatic energy transmission between several magic circles, and then connect the line to the Ark Reactor, so that the plan to automatically extract the owl's dark energy can be realized.

Konstantin was really unlucky, he wanted to run several times, and he didn't even want the sunk cost, but he was still caught by Schiller.

In the end, he also broke the jar and began to bury himself in researching how to get the energy pathways between the various magic circles.

As we all know, optimizing the circuit is the biggest difficulty in the automation game, and Konstantin got stuck on it for more than a week, but in the end, Konstantin, who was brought to his full potential, still came up with the most efficient version.

In the end, this huge device that automatically extracted the energy of the dark owl was made, and when the entire assembly line was running, the efficiency reached its highest, and even one storage module of the Ark Reactor was no longer enough, so Bruce added a few more temporarily.

If you look at it from the perspective of the spirit world, the entire living hell has become a huge oil well, countless magic circles are connected into lines, forming a circle of red light, and countless dark owls rush there like moths to fire, and finally all of them are annihilated in the light of the magic circle, and the extracted energy pulsates into the ark reactor along the energy channel like blood vessels, and is stored.

Until one day, all the owls disappeared, and Schiller, who was standing in the monitoring room, turned back to everyone and said, "...... It seems that this plan ends here. ”

"Not unexpected." Bruce came to the conclusion that "even if the rules were automatic, they would react very quickly based on the efficiency with which the device extracts energy."

"I'm more inclined to say they're out of power." Hal thought and said: "If they could find out, they should have found it as early as when we completed the automation, after all, so much energy is suddenly pumped at once, if someone really watches, it will definitely brake urgently."

"Back when I first devoured energy, I knew that this kind of rule should be unregulated." Schiller shook his head and said, "And the reason why it will stop this time is probably because the energy has been drained by us."

The reason why Schiller dared to extract this dark energy so unscrupulously without worrying about Barbatos's attention was because he found that this energy should not be Barbatos's original energy, but had undergone some special treatment.

In other words, they weren't picking up Barbatos' wool in real time, the Dark Owl Priest had already helped them get the wool, and had even woven the wool into blankets, and what they were stealing was actually the blankets in the inventory.

As for why Schiller felt that this kind of rule was unsupervised, it was not only because the dark owl didn't react when Aisha and them devoured energy before, but also because, according to the history of Gotham, the era of owl nursery rhymes has long passed.

In modern history, this song is no longer popular, and no child can sing it, which means that this set of rules has been abolished for a long time.

And if it is woken up again, it will still take effect, probably because the battery that was thrown here still has some residual power, and Schiller's purpose is to drain this residual power as soon as possible.

Some people may think that since the batteries have been discarded, when is it okay to steal electricity? However, this brings us to Schiller's previous arrangement at the Met.

He had long known that the Mets had owls, so he deliberately gave the medal to Pikachu, and then borrowed Clark to tell Lex about the agent's trespassing, and then asked Lex to go to the CIA agent.

Schiller, who had experienced the incident at the Metropolitan Mayor's Mansion, certainly knew very well that after Benjamin's death, the CIA's resident head in the Metropolitan was replaced by a female agent Kayla, who was a KGB and a student of Alfred.

When Kayla learns about this and receives the medal, she will definitely notice that there are other mysterious forces within the Metropolis, and according to the KGB's way of doing things, after a month, the owl of the Met may be in bad luck.

In a secret conference room under the sewers of the Metropolis, a mysterious man in a black robe and a bird's beak mask spoke: "Those godless lunatics are almost here, and although the Great Lord of Darkness is everywhere, we need to stay out of the way for the sake of his cause......"

"But where are we going?" Another mysterious man in a black robe asked.

"Originally, we left Gotham just to grow the power of the Met, and now we have several secret bases in the Met, as well as many members of the Owl Council who remain here...... It's time to return to Gotham. ”

"That's right." Another low, hoarse voice spoke, "When we left, we left the most precious dark statue there, because because of our departure, the Gotham people have not recited our names for many years, and this time we can go back just in time to reuse those essence energy......"

"Remember that spell?" A shrill female voice chanted, "Muliz...... Muliz ......"

Suddenly, she paused and said, "What's the matter?" Why didn't the statue answer my call? …… Come on...... Owl...... Come to me, and I will return to the Promised Land under your guidance......"

"Muliz...... Muliz ...... "All the black-robed men began to chant.

However, no owls flew over, they gradually stopped chanting, the room was silent, the leader waved his staff, and the circle in the room was lit up, and everyone disappeared in an instant, and then came to a room with a huge owl statue.

This room is not only located in the Gotham underground, but is also protected by mysterious spells, inaudible and invisible, and can only be accessed by using a special teleportation array, which is a covert means set up by the owl priests to protect their efforts.

And as soon as the leader of the Dark Owl Sacrifice landed, he was stunned, because the black owls that were originally full of dark energy had turned gray at this time, and the dark energy they had purified by praying to the Lord of Darkness and using their bodies for many years was gone.

While they were going berserk, the four electric thieves, Schiller, Bruce, Hal, and Constantine, stood in a row in the underground room.

Schiller took the lead in taking a step forward and asked, "Recently, the energy of the Dark Owl Sacrifice has been very badly lost, do you have any clue?"

Then, looking up at the dark energy storage modules that had formed a small mountain, he said:

“…… I didn't have it anyway. ”
