The transaction went very smoothly. In just over an hour, both parties reached a preliminary agreement.
This is understandable. After he had the handle that was enough to kill Vespania and the Kingdom of Vespania did not have the ability to deal with him, it was like him putting a knife to a person's neck and talking about a deal.
The fact that he didn't directly rob or kill people was considered a sign of strong character. The other party in the transaction had no room to refute the conditions he proposed.
However, he was a very kind person, and he thought that bullying a little girl whose mother and brother had just died was a very tasteless thing, so he was very lenient in terms of conditions. When you really think about it, the Kingdom of Vespania did not suffer any loss.
After the transaction was completed, he went to the room of Maori and others, briefly told them about his own affairs, and warned them not to mention their acquaintance with him after returning home, otherwise they would inevitably get into big trouble. Then he found a secluded place and briefly told Conan about his understanding of the black organization, and then he went directly back to Dubai using the teleportation scroll.
The reason why we can use teleportation scrolls so luxuriously to travel is because there is a serious surplus of resources at present.
After returning to Dubai, he found Wahar, expressed his gratitude for his previous help, and then went into the warehouse again.
More than half a month had passed since he first entered the warehouse to forge equipment, and most of the five billion US dollars in resources had been delivered to the destination.
At present, in addition to refining resources through the Horadric Cube in order to save space, the uranium ore that he had asked Vahar to get was also delivered at this time.
In today's society, although uranium mines are extremely eye-catching and every transaction is specially recorded by the country, it is still possible to buy them unless the concentration reaches weapons grade or is close to weapons grade.
The uranium ore that Vahar obtained through channels was naturally just raw ore, but it was enough for him.
In today's world, why are only Britain, the United States, China, France and Russia among the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, and have rights far exceeding all other countries
Good economic development? Large population? Strong overall national strength
These are naturally one of the reasons, but the real reason is that only the above five countries possess nuclear weapons, and they have intercontinental missiles that can be used to launch nuclear weapons at other countries, and you are basically unable to defend against them.
No matter how well other countries develop, as long as you do not have equal means of deterrence, you will never be able to reach the same level.
For Colin, the existence of the portal allows him to ignore distance and directly attack any location on the planet.
Once he obtains a deterrent means equivalent to nuclear weapons, then, to a certain extent, he will have the basic qualifications to be on an equal footing with the five major powers in the world.
This deterrent method is far beyond the reach of previously created viruses.
After all, the virus cannot really explode, and even if it does explode, current technology can help prevent it. But once it is used and causes a big impact, the probability of being jointly wanted and hunted down by all countries in the world is much greater than the probability of scaring the whole world.
However, weapons like nuclear bombs are different. Since the birth of nuclear bombs, the world's uninterrupted propaganda has long made the horror of such weapons deeply rooted in people's minds. The deterrent to people is far more powerful than a virus that has never exploded, caused any impact, and only exists in the video.
With it, as long as he is willing, it would be easy to change the entire world. The benefits and conveniences that can be obtained through it are absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.
Of course, no matter how many changes there are, they are all in the future. The most important thing at the moment is to build this thing, and then find an opportunity to throw it out so that the whole world can hear it. Only in this way can everything he wants become a reality.
He shook his head slightly, temporarily suppressing some thoughts in his heart, and looked at the alchemy table.
After being refined into a shape, the uranium ore extracted from the Horadric Cube becomes a special magical metal that is fiery red in color and continuously radiates light and heat.
According to the description in the tradition, this metal is called fire gold, also known as the remains of the sun. It is an ultra-rare metal that is even rarer than fine gold and secret silver.
As long as one has sufficient alchemical ability and the formula, one can create a super-powerful alchemical bomb that is absolutely as powerful as ordinary nuclear weapons. It is called the Wrath of the Sun.
Neither the alchemical formula nor the required materials are a problem for him now.
Although the level of alchemy is a little insufficient at present, it has reached the minimum requirement for refining. Not to mention, with the alchemical treasure of the Horadric Cube, the difficulty of its manufacturing is greatly reduced.
He stretched his fingers, looked at the materials piled on the alchemy table, and began his first experiment.
…
Manhattan, New York.
Soldiers wearing dark military uniforms, gas masks on their heads and guns behind them suddenly rushed into the city a day ago. With Pennsylvania Station as the center, they continuously set up checkpoints in a diffuse pattern, tracking down all passengers who had been to Pennsylvania Station in recent times.
Not only that, all the passages leading out of Manhattan are equipped with various detection equipment, making it quite troublesome to travel out or enter.
The official explanation is that a new virus is spreading in Manhattan, and it is recommended that everyone stay indoors and reduce going out.
Gavin, who lives on Manhattan Island, decided to follow this advice to avoid being infected by the new virus.
Anyway, as a programmer who makes a living by computer technology, being at home does not affect his work.
His fingers tapped on the keyboard, and as he finished typing the last piece of code, Gavin stretched his body, opened the web page, and found a website dedicated to publishing some daily short videos.
After work, he likes to watch some interesting videos to cheer himself up, and today is no exception.
There are countless videos on the Internet, but most of them are the same. Just when he was feeling a little impatient and was about to pick one to watch first, the title of a newly released video caught his attention.
"You'll never guess what I saw? Let me see..."
Muttering to himself, Gavin clicked on the video to play.
The pixel quality of the video is not very good, and it seems to have been recorded with a mobile phone. From the dim but not yet dark sky in the video, we can tell that the recording time was roughly two or three hours ago. As for the location, why is it always shooting the ground
Also, what about something unexpected
Apart from hearing some sounds similar to swallowing saliva and the video being very shaky, nothing else can be seen.
Just when he was getting bored and was about to turn it off and change to another video, a muffled voice came from the speaker.
"Listen, everyone who saw this video, I swear to God, this was not a movie, this was not pre-planned, I saw this by accident."
"Also, I'm going to run away from Manhattan..."
He spoke in a very low voice, as if he was afraid that if he spoke a little louder he would be discovered, and one could hear the nervousness in his words. But now, Gavin focused all his attention on the video, which was obviously magnified by a mobile phone and had extremely poor pixels.
From the video, we can see that the person who recorded this video lives in a relatively remote location, where homeless people usually live.
Of course, there are indeed homeless people in the video, and there are two of them. However, unlike normal living people, one of them is lying on the ground, and the other one is lying on the ground biting and tearing, just like the zombies in the movie...
Gulp...
Gavin swallowed his saliva and thought about the recent situation in Manhattan. He felt a little panicked for a moment.
He saved the video first. Just when he was about to send a private message to inquire about the details of the person who posted the video, he suddenly made a discovery that made him freeze.
Video, gone.
