Chapter 12 Windfall~
"Mia, from today onwards, you are not allowed to drink Coke! Until you regain your figure, you will be allowed to drink again. ”
"But..."
"Obedient!"
"Oh..."Mia pursed her lips, and her angry appearance became even cuter~
It's still early today, so it's better to teach Mia about science~
"Have you read the book you were given?"
As soon as the book was mentioned, Mia's eyes revealed horror, and she took three steps back tactically and pretended to have a stomachache, waved her hand and said: "I can't understand it at all, I just know the words on it, and I faint when I form a sentence..."
Ted smiled and picked her up, put her on the stool and said gently: "If you don't understand it, it's right, I can't understand it either~"
"Then you still let me see it!" Mia lifted her foot and gently stepped on Ted to coquettishly.
"Good ~ I'll teach you something that you can understand, and it's very interesting, it's very good!" After saying that, Ted searched the system for books suitable for girls around the age of 13.
In order to make Mia realize the darkness of society and prepare her, Ted chose a set of "Hamlet", which he had read by himself, and it was not bad, so he printed it out and put it in front of Mia.
"Can I understand this book?" Mia looked up at Ted and reached for his ear.
"It should be okay~ The relationship may be a bit messy, but I believe that for your smart mind, there is no problem!"
After doing this, Ted was lying on the bed, haggard these days, but there were also results, and the rest could be thrown to Chris to deal with, and he could rest for half a day!
...
"Bell~Bell~"
"Are you there, my lord? There's something waiting for you to sign here~"
"Yes!" I thought I could fish for half a day, but it seemed that it was enough to choke.
When he came to the office again, Chris held a meter-thick document in front of his desk.
Ted was stunned, he was dealing with government affairs every day these days, how could there be so many? "Butler! Where did all this come from? Did it pop out of the cracks in the stones? ”
"Uh... That's how it goes... Recently, there has been a lot of change, and yesterday, these documents were processed, and we have to go through them again..."Chris shook his head, he was also helpless, the most feared thing by the city people was 'change'
Because the butterfly effect caused by the 'change' will make more and more things happen, the original urban operation is connected by a fragile cycle, and every broken link has to be reshuffled.
"My lord, look at this, most of the capital of the city's operation comes from the income from the sale of grain, and you distribute food for free, so that the recent income is zero... And the operating costs have become six times as much, and this part is now paid out of your own pocket..."
"There is also this one, the wages and food expenses paid by the hired citizens..."
Gradually, listening to the butler's explanation, Ted put on a mask of pain, and at this rate, it was easy to become a poor bastard, and then he had to live as a pants...
"Chris, is there anything we can curtail..."
"My lord, these are already after the reduction..."
It wasn't until the evening that the two of them finished dealing with the matter in front of them, but Ted had something new to do.
If you don't find a way to make money, next year today, you will sell your property and live on the street, I originally thought that this winter, I can make some small inventions, and then take them out to sell in the spring...
In this way, the idea is out of play... He needs to make a big profit, not a small one.
...
At noon the next day, Ted's brain seemed to have been gnawed by something, and he couldn't concentrate, so instead of being stupid at home, it was better to go outside the city for a walk~ Clear your mind, maybe you can think of a way to make money~
"Chris, come with me outside and let go of my mind!"
"Yes, sir!"
The northern part is covered with snow all year round and the road is rugged, which is not suitable for relaxation, while the northeast has a plain that is very good for cycling.
It's already noon, and the wind blowing on the plains still makes people feel a little cool, and the coolness from the snow-capped mountains gets into my mind, gradually disintegrating the recent troubles.
Half an hour later, Ted crossed the plains and came to the foot of a strange-looking snowy mountain and sighed, "How can you make money quickly...?" ”
At this time, a strange sound of elves came into my ears, like a call or reminder, as if there was an anxious brother on the other side of the system, asking you to read the unread message quickly.
The sound had been ringing in his ears since a few minutes ago, and Ted thought it was a tinnitus caused by his stress, but now it doesn't seem to be...
"Drop! Drip! Drip! ”
After another half a minute, Ted saw that a green light in the system had been flashing, and when he clicked on it, and after carefully reading the prompt message, his eyes widened, and he turned back with a face full of incredulity, staring at the strange-looking mountain in front of him.
"Are you kidding me?"
Hearing the lord's words, Chris hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what happened?" ”
Ted didn't answer, but crouched down and peeled the soil open a little with his hands.
The next moment, the system locked onto the surface, and when the results came out, Ted didn't let out a breath and sat on the ground.
In addition to the buzzing in his head, it was the sound of his heart beating violently, and at this moment, he even forgot how to breathe...
Ted took off his helmet, leaned on the car and laughed, and after a few seconds his facial expression turned into a fool again, as if his facial features were no longer controlled by his brain...
"Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey..."
Standing beside him, Chris looked confused, he had no idea what was going on, so he could only kneel on one knee, and with years of experience, take off his gloves and gently peel off Ted's eyelids.
"Alive..."
"Don't make a fuss!" Ted pushed Chris away and emphasized: "I'm living well, I'm happy!" ”
"Happy?" Chris looked at him puzzled: "My lord, is there any good news?" ”
Ted didn't speak, but picked up a few black stones from the ground and handed them to the butler.
The butler took the stone in disbelief, repeatedly confirming that Ted wasn't joking with himself.
"My lord, what are you going to do with me a stone?"
"My dear butler! There you have this thing! I can lie flat for 8000 years! Hahaha! ”
When he came to his senses, Ted picked up a few large pieces and put them in the trunk, pulling Chris back to the city quickly.
[Discovery of natural resources: open-pit coal mines.
Total stock: 170 billion tons
It can be mined with current technology: 20 billion tons!
Cause: Originally an underground coal mine, after a continental plate collision, this coal mine was squeezed up, forming several strange-looking mountains. 】
Several mountains are covered with snow, and the people of the north have only known to drink the melted snow water for generations, and have never thought about what this dark mountain is.
After thousands of years of silence, this resource has finally been discovered! The reserves are not too much, and they are still a little short of the 230 billion tons of reserves of the largest state-owned coal mine that they know, but they are enough for a while!
Wait until next spring, and Ted will be able to bring people here to mine coal.
Unlike traditional coal mines, this kind of open-pit coal mine forms a mountain that is almost zero difficult to mine, as long as a few bombs are placed at the balance point of the mountain, the mountain is blown to pieces, and then the coal mine is picked up.
After returning to the territory, Ted sat on a chair and used the resource composition analysis function attached to the system to immediately parse out the specific ingredients!
Compared with the kind of smoky bituminous coal, this one in my hand is still a high-quality anthracite, with high carbon content and higher calorific value.
At this moment, Ted suddenly had the idea of lying down completely! In my last life, I thought about having a mine at home day and night, but I didn't expect this dream to come true in this life!
A mountain of gold turned into a thin and long whip, and whipped it mercilessly on his body, pulling out the whip marks, although painful, but happy! This sudden wealth even made him think he was dreaming!
If you master science and technology, you can produce 20 million tons per year, and you can lie flat for 8,500 years, and you can just sell resources! Not to mention the resources in the northern mountains, if there is a little oil and gas, Ted can even use it to bulldoze the world!
It's just that... Now there is still wood mining technology... But even 20 billion tons on the surface are enough for Ted to mine for a while...
"Whew..."
After a sip of cold water, he came back to his senses! It's just a little natural resource, why do you want to jump out of it so much?
Some coal mines, what's the big deal! I haven't reached the point of Majack yet, but sooner or later, this B will have to pretend to be, preferably in front of the whole country, a large-scale speech scene! Show yourself Versailles and say the famous phrase that everyone off: "I don't care about money, I'm not interested in money!" Money is a bastard, respect dreams..."
For the sake of this goal, you can't lie down yourself! The meaning of life is to pretend to be B, and I haven't had Versailles yet!
Thinking of this, Ted raised his hand fiercely and slapped himself, and printed out a book, which he learned and sold now.
It's not a good idea to always rely on the function of the system, and you have to train talents yourself to become a good lord!
Just do it! As soon as he opened the first page of the book "Energy Harvesting", he persuaded himself to quit...
"What is this about?"
