Chapter 190: Stark's idea

"Well, since you said so."

If you don't understand politics, you will only give yourself a headache if you ask too many questions. Without the hobby of self-abuse, Shi Xiaolei decided to change the subject: "What will be the arrangement next? I mean, after Kojima gets it."

"There are a lot of things to do." Rubbing his eye sockets, Stark poured himself another sip of wine: "Explore the terrain on the island, check the environment and climate, clean up the existing animals and plants, and come up with blueprints... It's not like breaking ground. After that, there are a lot of preparatory work alone."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Of course." Putting down the glass, Stark snapped his fingers: "I came to find you today just for this."

"Really?" Picking up the bottle and refilling Stark's drink, Shi Xiaolei put a piece of ice in his glass, and Shi Xiaolei made a joke: "You don't want to drag me to chop down trees and move bricks, right? ? The vampires have been cleaned up, and as far as I can think, there is still some energy left."

"Che, no matter how competent you are, can you still compare to the engineering team?" Stark rolled his eyes.

"So, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"There are two things in total." Stark raised two fingers: "One, I told you before, animal and plant genetic samples. Two, I need you to take some time to go to the island to help clean up the existing various animals."

"..." After hearing the second sentence, Shi Xiaolei was a little puzzled: "Clean up the existing animals? Why am I a little confused?"

"Have you heard of the Aztecs? It's the ancient civilization in Central America that is often mentioned in history books." Before Shi Xiaolei nodded to answer, Stark continued: "In addition to the conquest of the Spanish by force, the white people The various infectious bacteria brought from Europe were also one of the key reasons for the weakening and demise of this civilization.

Colonists at the time brought many diseases unfamiliar to the Native Americans to the New World. The most notorious of these was smallpox. In addition, there are measles, diphtheria, typhoid, flu, mumps and other diseases.

In modern times, none of these diseases can be called a threat, but in that era, for the aborigines who did not have antibodies, every foreign infectious disease was an invisible **** of death. In the face of these diseases, they have no power to fight back, and they don't even have a place to escape... This is because there is no record left. If someone can count the data, perhaps, the number of aborigines who died due to infectious diseases would be higher than that due to colonization. More people died in the war. "

"Emmm, I seem to have heard... I'm not sure."

"It doesn't matter if you've heard of it or not, what I'm talking about is the causal relationship in this matter." Stark raised his eyebrows: "The local indigenous people will die because of foreign infectious diseases. For the same reason, When we replicate the dinosaurs on the island, they may also be infected by modern viruses... In short, they are not acclimatized, understand?"

"..." Looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei was silent for a while: "After listening for a long time, I thought you were going to say something, that's all?"

"You already knew?" Stark asked rhetorically.

"Nonsense." Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I already thought about it when you asked me to prepare a genetic sample. Please, I'm not one of those natives on Nihao Island who haven't gone to school. I still know a little common sense."

"Then you just..."

"What I'm asking is why do you have to let me go!" Shi Xiaolei said: "The island is so big, how many living creatures can there be? Besides, aren't you planning to turn the whole island over? Pushing the map in a carpet style just happened to happen by the way. I cleaned up the animals. Why do you have to come to me when you take care of yourself?"

"One, there may be some leaks during the cleaning process. Two, it's the easiest way to find you." Stark raised **** again.

"One can understand, and two..." Shi Xiaolei shook his head: "I don't understand."

"It's so hard to talk to you." Stark sighed: "Forget it, let me tell you the truth, do you still have the green potion you used last time? You threw it out when we dealt with vampires together that day. , the kind that explodes a large green mist."

"what do you mean……"

"Yes, that's what you think." Stark relaxed his expression, leaned back and raised his legs: "That thing works quickly, covers a large area, has strong permeability, and there is no residue, no matter where it comes from In terms of aspects, it can be regarded as the best 'insecticide'. I have already calculated that, according to the proportion of one bottle covering 500 square meters, to clean the entire island, only 360,000 bottles are enough."

"360,000 bottles?!!!" Shi Xiaolei's eyes widened: "Man, are you kidding me?"

"A lot?" Stark shrugged and asked rhetorically.

"Of course a lot, no, it should be exaggerated, okay?"

"Really? Then I'll give you an account." Stark snapped his fingers: "Assuming the price of a bottle of green potion... emmm, calculate a bit more, let's say its price is ten times that of the red potion. , a bottle of 100,000 dollars is fine. It takes 2,000 bottles to clean up one square kilometer, which is 200 million. Do you think it is expensive?"

"Is it not expensive?"

"Of course it's not expensive~lightnovelpub.net~ Stark answered decisively: "If the requirements are not so high, just like cleaning the house, clean up the mice, geckos, cockroaches, etc., the cost of one square kilometer, just Dozens of millions. But if the requirements are higher, ants, mosquitoes, flies and even a large number of microorganisms must be cleaned up together... This kind of laboratory-level cleaning, let alone 200 million, even if it costs 2 billion, it may not be possible. do it. "

"Using conventional methods to clean up the entire island, the cost will be calculated in hundreds of billions. But replace it with the green potion you used that day..." Stark smiled: "Even if you stock up more, it will cost 400,000 bottles. Come to think of it, the cost is only 40 billion yuan, less than half of the conventional method. By comparison, which one do you think is more cost-effective?"

"But……"

"Of course, the set of data I listed has a premise, that is, the price of a bottle of green potion will not exceed ten times that of the red potion. If it exceeds, you should think I didn't say it." After a pause, Stark Finally asked: "So, what is the price of a bottle of that thing, more expensive than I expected, or..."

"It's not about the price." Just listening to Stark's reckoning, he never had a chance to speak. At this moment, Shi Xiaolei finally said one sentence: "I mean, if the gap is not big, as long as one or two thousand bottles, I can still think of a way. 360,000 bottles... Dude, what do you think that is? Is it Coke produced on an assembly line in a beverage factory? Please, is that a magic potion? When other mages make potions, they boil them one ton at a time."
