Vol 7 Chapter 29: Increase revenue and reduce expenditure

The desert oasis created out of thin air is only two football fields, which is the limit that Damian hired through the cooperation of extraordinary people. After all, the only people who can come in handy are the Plant Girl and Mr. Freeze, Hari Kui Because it is purely funny, the death knell can only be a security captain.
The earth-rock girl Terra is even more exotic. She can control large rocks and fine dust, but she can't do anything with sand with a medium particle size. Damian originally expected her to be like a bald person who can rub a pyramid in the desert. The high-rise building was raised on the ground, but was disappointed.
In addition, due to energy constraints in the desert center, Mr. Freeze's temperature controller cannot operate at full power, and the air-conditioning manufactured by it covers only a kilometer radius, and the efficiency of condensing free water in the air is very low.
Some people may ask, how can there be water vapor in the desert that can condense into small lakes?
This is the misunderstanding caused by lack of knowledge and short-sightedness. The high desert transpiration rate does not mean that there is no water in the air. The Atacama Desert in the north of Chile in South America, the dry pole of the earth, has an average annual precipitation of only 0.1 mm. Both can use "fog catching net" to achieve condensation and water storage.
The average annual precipitation in the Sahara Desert is 50 mm, which is 500 times that of the dry pole, and the efficiency of condensing and storing water is higher.
With limited energy, Damian’s environmental protection team can only experimentally build an ecological circle covering the area of ​​two football fields. If you want to completely change the desert ecology on a large scale, you can only wait until the sacred tree is planted and cultivated. Only after the towering sacred tree can it be realized.
However, before planting the sacred tree, some preliminary preparations are required, but the saplings of the sacred tree can not survive by just throwing the tree species into the sand. At least a large ecological circle covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers is needed to maintain the early stage of the sacred tree. The nutrients needed for growth.
Now the tree planting team of the Konoha Foundation is stuck in the bottleneck. Due to energy constraints, the temperature cannot be reduced in a large area to condense water. Without sufficient water sources, the Plant Plants cannot grow in large numbers. Only a small oasis can be created Ecosystem, slightly improve the desert living conditions of the high-level foundations.
The energy technology of the DC universe is far inferior to the Marvel Universe. It is replaced by the Marvel Universe. The construction of an Ark reactor completely solves the energy bottleneck. No matter how much you invest in the fusion reactor of Dr. Octopus, you can get a steady supply of energy. But not to mention that there are no new elements in the DC universe. Even palladium cannot be used to make small nuclear fuel reactors to generate electricity. Nuclear energy has been resisted by various environmental protection mothers, who insists that it is not a clean energy.
Damian can also understand this strange mentality. After all, this magical world is not peaceful. Super criminals are always going to destroy themselves, and battles with superheroes can also be broken. Even if the safety factor of nuclear power plants is high, the engineers are more rigorous. Seriously, it can't stand being smashed and blasted directly to cause a terrible nuclear leak.
Damian stole the Wayne Group's new energy technology materials from the Batcave supercomputer. Unfortunately, these new energy technologies are all about "wind energy" and "solar energy" and are not keen on the development and utilization of nuclear energy. Nuclear power technology The application level is not up to the level of black technology, and the utilization rate of nuclear energy is not high.
Moreover, the world’s major superhero teams are closely watching nuclear fuel. For fear that super villains like the clown will steal nuclear and dirty bombs, Damian is worried about being detected by Superman even if he has the money to buy them on the black market. It takes a second or two. Flew to investigate.
The progress of planting trees is not smooth, Damian can only temporarily shelve this work before solving the energy bottleneck, and instead focus on infrastructure construction first, and build a huge secret base in the center of the desert to be his nest.
It seems that what Terra is currently engaged in is the construction of the desert airport. In Niger, where there is no road to fall, if you want to transport materials to the center of the desert, you can only rely on air transportation.
In the past few times, the transportation of materials was done by helicopters. The efficiency was too low. Damian decided to build a desert airport and use a large transport aircraft to transfuse blood to the Oasis base to support subsequent construction.
Although Damian stole a large amount of money from his grandfather and mother when he left the Assassin Alliance, which totaled more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, but most of it was fixed assets and shares, and the liquidity was not that much. Over a period of time, I have paid more than one billion U.S. dollars to the government of Niger, and the liquidity has fallen into the warning line. If I continue to spend money like this, my capital chain will break sooner or later, and I may go bankrupt.
Therefore, Damian seems to take a leisurely sunbathing holiday. In fact, in addition to worrying about the bottleneck of planting trees, he is still thinking about how to make money to maintain his life.
The original profitable business of the Assassin League has two main items in general.
The first is killing. As long as you pay enough money, regardless of whether it is a politician or a celebrity, even a superhero, the Assassin League will kill you.
The second item is to sell the water in the Pool of Salar Road to extend the life of some dying wealthy people. This income is higher than the income from the assassination.
Now that Damian has left the Assassin Alliance and wants to establish a new organization to wash away his notoriety, he will naturally not continue to engage in murderous business, nor can the Salar Road Pool be taken away from the cliff camp, and the life extension business will not continue.
Losing the two major sources of income, the new organization he split up fell into an embarrassing situation where he could only get in and out, and was in a crazy deficit every day.
Basic living materials must be transported by air transport. You can imagine how much money is spent to maintain this desert oasis base. At this speed, Damian has settled the bill, I am afraid that the tree has not had time. , He will sell his assets to fill this bottomless pit.
The most urgent task is to open up new sources of funds to ensure the maintenance of the necessary expenses for the growth period of the sacred tree and build the oasis base.
After thinking for a long time and still had no clue, Damian sent someone to call the death knell in charge of the outer guard of the oasis and ask him for advice.
"...Above, your path is relatively wide. Are there any good deals that I can introduce for you?"
The death knell blurted out: "Of course! I mentioned to you last time that there is a sect named Blood God Sect who is willing to pay 100 million US dollars to hire the best mercenaries to help them capture a superhero team. With our team The strength of, there is no need to send a spy to divide and divide. Each is broken, and a frontal attack can easily defeat the team composed of that little kid."
"You are really keen on bullying children, and you still don't forget, do you have any deep hatred with that youth team?"
Damian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Didn’t I say that, there is no need to arouse the hostility of superheroes for mere money. The blood sect doesn’t sound like a serious sect. We are entangled with such evil forces. Together, if you don’t know how to complete the task, you will be blackmailed. Whatever you think, you must accept their broken task. It is Shi Lezhi!"
The death knell shrugged and said: "Working with money is the way for our mercenaries to survive. The blood teaches willing to pay, and I will accept the task. Anyone who makes decent superheroes like to roll up their sleeves and do dirty work. Even if you are very rich, you won’t hire me?"
"and many more!"
The black-haired boy seemed to have been prompted and slapped his face: "Yeah, you are a mercenary. I am not a mercenary. I don't need someone to hire me. I can do whatever I want. The Blood God Cult has paid a huge sum of money to hire you. The capture of superheroes shows that their fighting power is not good enough. We simply come to a black sect and destroy the weak chicken sect that can afford 100 million US dollars. Don't all their money belong to me? Eliminate the evil Religion is a righteous act. By the way, making some money is equivalent to accumulating justice funds, and it won’t offend superheroes. It will kill two birds with one stone!"
The death knell was taken aback, shook his head and said, "This violates the professional ethics of mercenaries. We can't attack the employer!"
"You're so promising!" The black-haired boy curled his lips contemptuously: "The boss is no longer young, and he can be a mercenary for the rest of his life. I'm not ashamed but proud of it! Follow me to look good, learn well, and learn. A little fur is enough for your life! Okay, if you don't want to do it, just go back a little bit, I can do this job myself!
Killing dozens of ordinary people, you can get back hundreds of millions of dollars in a day or two, but you are a spy and a behind-the-scenes plan. The preliminary preparation takes a year. Even if you succeed, you will offend a large number of extraordinary people. To leave a bad reputation in the superhero circle, hard work can only make that bit of hard money a hundred times stronger! "
The death knell was damaged by the suspected son, so his old face was almost unbearable. He covered his face and ran out of the oasis. It seemed that his self-esteem was hit by 10,000 points.
