Chapter 119: Development (I can't help but ask for a subscription, the data has fallen in half, and it's already going to be cold)
"Brother Xiongchai! No...... It's gone! It's gone again! β
"What's missing? Make it clear."
A Southeast Asian man named Xiongchai is carefully filling a bamboo tube with "flour", which is all the result of the past three months, and he is now packing it and shipping it out in the image of a simple disguise of bamboo rice.
But just now he was so frightened by this startled little brother that his hands shook, and he almost didn't let it out, and a little white face fell on the table, which made him feel distressed and quickly stretched out his tongue to lick it clean.
Tsk~ The taste is good, Nima has to see how those old boys still make excuses that Lao Tzu's goods are not pure, and they are desperate to reduce the price.
"By the way, what did you just say? Who's missing? β
The little brother behind him trembled, his face was nervous, and sweat poured back: "It's all ...... It's all gone! β
"Ah Luo, who was standing guard, Dadamu who released water, and Lao Gan, who went out to buy rice and noodles, didn't come back!"
"The whole camp...... Just, it's just us and the group of small workers! β
Xiong Chai was suddenly shocked, he had been concentrating on loading the goods here, and he didn't care about what was going on outside, and he was suddenly blindsided when he heard this kid say so bizarre.
At the same time, he grabbed a portable Type 88 pistol and rushed out of the mountain tent, and then it was dark in front of him in an instant.
Li Heng walked out of the dark jungle in the distance with a glass ball in his hand, the glass ball was a marble that children would play with when he was a child, and he just put it on his thumb and took away Xiong Chai with a strong jump.
Immediately a group of men poured out behind him, all of them from the town of Kathu, and they rushed into the camp with quick movements, quickly moving everything that could be useful.
It doesn't seem like the first time I've done this kind of work, and I'm as quick as a moving company.
"Drag out the bodies of those gang members just now, and then simply fire two shots to leave some bullet holes out"
"All the things that can be eaten, drunk, and used in the camp are taken away, and all the finished forbidden drugs and the raw materials that have just been harvested are corroded and destroyed by the methods taught to you before."
"Weapons and ammunition are also taken away"
Li Heng paced in this mountain camp and commanded in an orderly manner.
Immediately, he came to a larger shack, which was relatively remote, with more than a dozen bunk beds erected, and the snoring was coming and going, and it was obvious that they were still asleep.
A loud bang woke the group of people from their night's sleep, and they got up from the bed in a panic, not even having time to put on their shirts and pants.
Whewβa bright flame rose and lit up the place.
The camp was built directly by the drug dealers, with no cables, and the only diesel generator was installed in the "pharmaceutical workshop" for production there, and the dormitories of these small workers were unlit at night and had to rely on open fires.
A dry and emaciated figure crawled out of bed in fear, and some looked left and right and tried to sneak away and run away, and then a sharp gunshot stopped his movements.
Most of these people are farmers from the villages below the mountain, who have been caught, deceived, or lured by drug dealers to help them work as pharmaceutical workers in the mountains with lucrative rewards.
It is a mature industrial chain to plant poisonous herbs in the farmland, provide raw materials for these gangs, and go up the mountain to make them the forbidden drugs that the workers labor to process and manufacture the finished products.
After all, the economic benefits of growing and selling these things for a short period of time do far outweigh those of food crops, and few of these poor farmers can withstand this temptation.
In a sense, they are also members of a gang of drug dealers, or at least an accomplice.
But Li Heng didn't come up and attack them, but spared their lives.
"It's the peasants, they all go down the mountain and go back to their respective villages, eradicate all the poisonous weeds in their fields, and continue to grow grain, cotton, and crops."
"It's not a farmer, if there is a person who has his own job and craft, go back and do a good job, if he is forcibly abducted and sold homeless"
Li Heng's gaze swept over them like a torch.
"Then join us"
With that, he turned around and left the place, leaving the rest to the people of Rukavin.
"Ignition"
Boom - a bright pillar of fire rushed up from the mountain, and Li Heng watched as the people below poured gasoline on a wooden shed in front of him and ignited it, and it burned into a ball in an instant.
After chemically destroying the finished forbidden drugs and raw materials, Li Heng ordered the rudimentary pharmaceutical factory to be burned as well.
The chemicals he used to destroy the forbidden drugs were still obtained from some industrial waste dumped in the town of Kathu, which would have been used only as poisons that constantly polluted the earth and caused diseases, but now they have a good use.
"Chief, we have figured out the identities and addresses of those workers, and now we will divide their routes."
"Hmm"
Li Heng nodded.
To be honest, the title of "leader" is not very good, and I always feel like a villain, but I can't find a good replacement for a while, and it's not good for them to call their names, and no one dares.
There are a total of 23 small workers, of which 18 are villagers more than 10 kilometers away, and the remaining five are abducted and trafficked, and they are the kind of people who don't know how many abducted and sold people and end up here, and some of them come out to work and are attracted by the high "salary" here.
What really caught Li Heng's attention was one of them, this guy turned out to be a serious college student!
His real name is Gu Chief, a graduate of Mai Ching University in Siam, an undergraduate in chemistry more than ten years ago, and a chemistry teacher for several years, but later due to fraud, he owed huge debts, and was involved in a gang fight, and finally reduced to working for this group of drug dealers.
Speaking of which, if it weren't for him, the pharmaceutical factories of this group of drug dealers would really not be able to set up, and the proportions of those chemicals were provided by him.
To be reasonable, if such a guy comes according to the law, even if he has a way of surviving, this crime is not trivial, not to mention eating guns, it is inevitable to squat for 20 years.
But after Li Heng learned about his complete life experience, combined with the "customs" of this land, he can somewhat understand his struggle on the road to survival.
At least, it wasn't his intention to help these gangs make banned drugs.
At this point, he really didn't lie, Li Heng could see it very simply.
"So, I'll give you a chance to put your abilities and knowledge to good use on the right path."
Gu Chieftain squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, originally preparing to welcome a gunshot and say goodbye to this world.
However, the young man in front of him with a deep breath told him that now he had another way to go.
"Take these bottles and jars of yours, come to Kathu, and do things for me"
I saw a board truck not far away, piled up with all kinds of glassware and chemical experiment tools, as well as a large number of chemical raw materials, which were all things in his "laboratory".
Yes, in addition to producing banned drugs on weekdays, his greatest pleasure is to constantly tinker with chemical experiments, after all, there is no shortage of many chemicals in this drug dealer gang.
Now, there is a real chance that the mountains of waste that are piled up will turn into "gold".
This is also what Li Heng has been asking the people of Katu Town to do, first classify and treat those garbage and waste products into a summary and encapsulation, and then process them through physical and chemical means to extract the valuable parts.
Although Li Heng can do this with his level of chemical knowledge, if he does this, it will be like driving an aircraft carrier to fish.
Therefore, Gu Chieftain is a very good candidate, with sufficient professional knowledge, and he has nowhere to go because of his complicated life experience and black background, and at the same time, deep down he is not an incorrigible person who goes all the way to the end.
It is very suitable to be the person in charge of his "chemical production line".
All the loot in this gang camp is taken away, and the guns and ammunition can further supplement the security forces of Kathu, at least so that they don't leave themselves and become lambs to the slaughter.
"Remember, after those farmers put down the mountain, they must watch them shovel all the poisonous herbs in their fields and destroy them, and there is not a single one left! And arrange for people to go down to inspect regularly, if there are farmers who have multiple crops, you don't have to be polite, let them increase their memory."
Li Heng said in a serious and firm tone, once the order is ordered, it cannot be changed.
After all, the profits from growing these things are bound to make those farmers jump over and over the edge, and the slightest slack will repeat the mistakes of the past.
In addition to Li Heng's own dislike of forbidden drugs, there is also a deeper actual situation in setting such strict regulations.
He is promoting a trading network centered in the town of Kathu that connects multiple villages, where the main commodities traded are grain, vegetables and other agricultural crops.
You know, many villages here have been plagued by drug dealers in the delta for many years, and large areas of farmland have been abandoned or replaced with poisonous seedlings, and the end result is a massive reduction in grain production, and they rely heavily on external purchases to fill the gaps.
Many farmers who grow poisonous seedlings use the money they get from selling raw materials to buy grain to eat!
As a result, the price of grain is often inexplicably high, and then these village farmers are still poor, and only the real drug dealers and middlemen get the most profits, and this extremely contradictory "economic phenomenon" is the biggest dead end that plagues the place.
If Li Heng wants to build an organization with a solid foundation, then it is this knot of the dead cycle that must be eradicated.
It is important to know that for every kilogram of KK produced, about 500 kilograms of coca leaves, 4 kilograms of carbide, 8 liters of toluene, 8 liters of acetone, 72 liters of kerosene, 40 liters of sulfuric acid, 20 kilograms of quicklime and 20 kilograms of toilet paper for filtration are consumed...... All this consumption results in a huge waste of resources.
And because of the need to ensure yield, a large number of mold agents and chemical fertilizers will be used in the planting area of poisonous seedlings, resulting in a change in the nature of the land, which directly causes the land planted with poisonous seedlings to be unable to grow other crops for a long time.
If you keep dropping this root, the venom will only seep out in a steady stream, and eventually corrode all the ornate superstructures.
Li Heng doesn't have any twists and turns, and he is currently being directly and simply violently manipulated.
This is already the third gang of banned drug dealers he has eliminated, and the previous two were also in the deep mountains not far from here, and they were all "small workshop" gangs with only a few dozen people.
It is conceivable that here, in this land, the manufacture and sale of banned drugs have become commonplace.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is poisoned into the bone marrow, but what Li Heng wants to try is to pull out the poison of the bone marrow, which is an unprecedented move.
Extraordinary things can only be done by extraordinary people.
The first step was to kill these three gangs and let nearly hundreds of peasants go down the mountain and return to the village, which was equivalent to adding hundreds of acres of arable farmland in disguise, and when they went down the mountain, Li Heng also arranged for the fertilizers and pesticides that those drug dealers had purchased that were originally used to plant poisonous seedlings to be brought down to plant crops.
As long as the ratio and dosage are changed, they are agricultural fertilizers.
Secondly, there are some homeless people who are arranged by Li Heng to join his "disposable population" and arrange corresponding jobs according to their skills.
If they don't know anything, then they will do some pure labor there, digging up mountains of garbage, carrying burdens, carrying soil and rocks, etc., and they will not be idle, but they will not be allowed to work day and night like they did in the forbidden drug factory before.
They are indispensable when they should be done, when they should rest, and they are indispensable when eating.
In terms of money, there is indeed not much money at present, after all, in addition to collecting "garbage disposal fees", the current economic resources of the entire Katu can only rely on "robbing" various small gangs, such as this one.
If it happens that when they just ship a batch of goods, then the amount of cash "harvested" will be relatively large.
But the main purpose of this money in the first place is definitely not to pay "wages" to the people under him, but to buy grain and establish a trade chain with those peasant villages.
It is necessary to give confidence to that group of farmers, after all, it was Li Heng who forced them back to the field, and they could not be allowed to run to eat white food after planting grain.
In this way, it not only solved the life-threatening food problem of a large group of people in Kathu, but also allowed the group of farmers to go home and farm with peace of mind.
In this way, the new "Katu", which was disintegrated and reconstructed by Li Heng, is constantly growing and growing, and new personnel are joining and supplementing it every day, and it is slowly approaching a complete "organization".
In this border area where dragons and snakes are mixed with various forces, an unusual force is slowly growing, expanding little by little under their noses......
In the middle of the night, Katu Town was still the ruins that were half buried in the ground, and Li Heng stood quietly in the innermost room.
Although Kathu has now been reorganized into a larger, more suitable residence, he has not moved away, and is still staying in the place where he first came.
It's just that it's more neat and clean now.
Maybe it's because this basement allows him to get close to the breath of the earth.
At this moment, there were three strangely shaped glass containers in front of him, and the transparent solution in the containers raised strings of small bubbles from time to time.
This is where these isolated fetuses are breathing.
It's been several days since he'd had acquired these suspected test subjects, and the simple life-sustaining device seemed to be running to its limit.
All kinds of nutrient solvents are about to be depleted, and although the low temperature restricts the metabolism of the fetus, the metabolic waste products that accumulate over time also make the simulated amniotic fluid gradually cloudy.
It is clear that the vital activities of these isolated fetuses are weakening, or they will completely fail and die in a few days.
And Li Heng didn't have any good means to stop this process, although he would at least spare some time every night to study the reasons for this.
What exactly is the point of these fetuses?
What was there about them that made this kind of [living specimen] made by that subunit company, and intended to ship it somewhere?
Without a suitable biological laboratory and a professional team, Li Heng was unable to complete those complex experimental operations on his own.
"If these isolated fetuses continue to be placed in containers, it is estimated that they will soon fail and die, but if they are taken out directly, their bodies are not fully developed, and they are super premature babies in the true sense, and they are estimated to die faster when exposed to the external environment."
This is a dilemma, unless the fragile constitution of the fetus can be solved, so that it can survive the initial development process and grow up as soon as possible to become a baby, so that it can be "born" to the external environment to raise.
The complexity and change of life are difficult to grasp.
Li Heng stood in front of the three containers, thinking quietly for a while, and finally he raised his head and his eyes moved slightly.
He used his fingernails to cut a crack in his palm, and red blood seeped out.
Drops of red blood are dripping into the nutrient solvent that has dried up, and it is fully fed into the life-supporting device, where it is absorbed by the fetuses through the interaction of body fluids.
