Chapter 35, Henry, Henry
Denison Henry found that every time he visited the Doge's camp, he saw a new surprise.
At this moment, after a business trip and another visit to the governor, he was accompanying Gu Hang to inspect the newly established synthetic starch production line.
He saw workers mix together the corpses of decomposed xenomorph monsters, wood scraps used for post-construction scraps, leaves and branches from the nearby woodland, and other things mixed together and fed into the machine. After crushing, decomposing, and reconstructing, the other end of the machine outputs a rectangular starch block.
Each piece weighs a standard fifty grams, and a few pieces are enough for an adult to starve to death.
Despite the raw materials used to produce it, it looks somewhat ...... Strange, but Henry still realized the great value of this technology.
Poisonous xenomorph monster corpses, wood waste, weeds with very low nutritional value, old clothes, rags, ...... These things that were originally of very little value can be transformed into precious food in the wasteland through this machine.
What's wrong with raw material nausea? When people are going to starve to death, what do they care about so much?
It's a serious food, it's carbohydrates, and it's high in calories.
Isn't this much better than finding some wild vegetables, weeds, and bed bugs, mixed with some grain to cook a bowl of thin porridge?
Henry pinched his nose and tried to eat a piece himself.
Flavor...... It can be said that there is no taste, like eating gypsum powder, at most a little starch is slightly sweet after being simply broken down by saliva, and a little salty.
But again, none of these problems are a problem in the wasteland.
Not to mention the environment where people are going to starve to death in the wasteland, even if it is the Imperial Astral Army and the Imperial Navy, when the supply is not so smooth, there is still a large food ration through the 'corpse starch', who is more noble than whom?
It's scary technology.
Henry's eyes straightened, and he said, "Incredible, I ......"
Before the words came out, Gu Hang raised his hand and interrupted: "Don't talk about it, I'll take you to take a look." ”
"Uh......"
Henry's face was a little red from choking.
But then he immediately understood that this part of the business, especially the production line and technology, could not be obtained from the Governor.
In a sense, this technology has the potential to change the whole world, and it is huge.
He could only regret it, plus he was even more determined to cling to the governor's thigh.
After visiting the newly established synthetic starch production line, Gu Hang took Henry to his office.
Henry, who had just finished a business, had a lot to report to Gu Hang.
Sitting in front of the governor, Henry was a little restrained: "This time fortunately, the mission was not dishonored, and the alloy plastic steel caused a sensation among the material merchants in Fuxing City. In the past, only Blackbird Heavy Industries would have a small amount of outflow of this material, and they controlled it very strictly, but now there is an additional channel, and those merchants are very happy, and our goods are also very good. ”
"I've basically exchanged everything you wanted. The generator set using hot limestone should be enough to build a small power plant, and at the same time, I mobilized the garbage town to allocate a batch of hot limestone. The textile machine is also enough to open a production line. The porridge shop propaganda station we opened recruited more than 2,000 homeless people in one go......"
"However, there has been some turmoil in Fuxing City lately, which has affected our prices. The Council of the League went crazy and searched for cults and heresies, and many people were affected, causing panic in the hearts of the people. I heard that there was a councillor in charge of food, who was found to be in collusion with the cult, and it is said that ...... It is said that the Governor, you are also angry? ”
Henry paused and glanced at Gu Hang. Seeing that he didn't answer this question, he also understood, that is the acquiescence? Maybe the people were killed by the governor.
He continued: "This matter has caused a lot of trouble, and the whole Fuxing City is full of chickens and dogs. And the councillor is finished, and the grain trade he controls is in chaos, and the whole market is in turmoil. If it weren't for that, our alloy plastic steel would have been sold at a better price. ”
"But it's not bad now, Fuxing City is the largest market in the vicinity, not only has a strong consumption capacity for various raw materials, but more importantly, it is the core of a trade hub that connects multiple forces and regions. I have also reached long-term agreements with many agents, and they can eat a lot of production without worrying about sales. ”
"Plus, we sell those bulletproof vests, which are even more popular in Trashtown, and they can withstand a single shot from a Greenskin! Now our merchandise is completely on fire in Junk Town! Recently, the range of those green-skinned beasts has increased, and scavengers and adventurers have come into conflict with them more and more frequently, and arms and bulletproof equipment are now the best-selling items. ”
"This is an opportunity, Lord Governor, and I don't want to have all the exclusive rights, but if you are willing to give me the exclusive rights to sell the armored vests, it will be of great help to me in my quest for the status of an agent in Junk Town! When the time comes, I will be able to serve you better! ”
After a lot of reports—mostly after the invitation—Denison Henry couldn't help but mention the exclusive license that he had on his mind.
In his opinion, Lord Governor, you asked me to prove my loyalty, so I can do it this time, right?
I have tried my best to get you the materials and equipment you want; If you want to fool the people who come, I will bring it to you out of my own pocket.
Is that enough proof of my loyalty?
The full authorization of the alloy plastic steel production line is not willing to give me an exclusive bulletproof vest, is it not too much?
"Henry, Henry......" Gu Hang muttered his name, "Do you want me to say that you are smart or stupid?" ”
"I ...... I don't understand? ”
"You are so smart, you are showing me that you have made a contribution and you are also expressing your loyalty to me, saying that you will do more and better in the future, and hope to get exclusive authorization from me. You're worried that if you open up the market for materials and bulletproof armor, more businessmen will come to me and do the same, so that you won't be able to make this exclusive business anymore. ”
Speaking of this, he said that he was praising him for being smart, but Denison Henry only felt embarrassed.
What Gu Hang said was indeed what he thought, and it was not so difficult to guess.
But......
Where did you say that directly? Where do you want me to put my face?
He didn't speak, and Gu Hang was still saying, "But you are so stupid that you can't see the essence of things clearly. The production capacity of alloy plastic steel is not much, and it will take time to expand the scale, now and in the short future, you can eat all the goods, so what are you worried about? ”
"Are you worried that you won't be willing to do things for me wholeheartedly in the future, and I will change to a better collaborator?"
"Are you worried that you can't manipulate the price of goods at will, and I will restrict you from making money in the future?"
"Are you worried that you won't be able to make me rely on you all the time, and that I won't be the master behind the governor in the future?"
"Henry, Henry, tell me, is that what you're worried about?"
