Chapter 467 Technology Crushing-Reverse Harvesting
Umbrella's sudden announcement can be said to have directly shocked the world, and even made people feel incredible!
Theoretically speaking, plants form most of today's food by synthesizing carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water.
Whether you are meat-eating or vegetarian, you can use this as a source!
But just like the flagella of many bacteria can have a structure that is more efficient than an aerospace engine, humans themselves are still lacking in this aspect.
In theory, it can be achieved, and it is even possible to complete some operations in the laboratory, but when it comes to use and large-scale practicality, there is still a long way to go.
Moreover, what is currently driving the advancement of technology is ‘interest’.
Traditional grain merchants will suppress and resist similar new technologies. However, when various materials are abundant enough, there is no such urgency at present, and there is a lack of economic benefits.
The investment in this kind of experiment will also be relatively small.
After all, so what if the research is done?
Let’s not talk about whether there are any defects in artificial synthesis, let’s talk about people’s acceptance?
Can the taste exceed that of crops grown today?
Nowadays, the staple food is not just starch. Can it be completely simulated?
What's the cost?
Is it a loss or profit?
At least those who have the ability to research this will not have a food crisis, but those who have a food crisis cannot have the ability to research this. This is a contradiction in itself.
As a result, good guys, just when South Korea entered the stage of driving up food prices, they directly took out such a heavy thing?
It’s simply shocking!
Although there is currently relatively little investment in synthetic starch, it is not an imminent problem.
But the food problem has always been a serious problem for Blue Star.
Africa, South America and other places are still full of hunger.
Since Umbrella dares to speak like this, at this critical moment, it shouldn't be a small batch solution, but it can really be mass produced, right?
Umbrella has also officially released some parameters and generously produced schematics.
In essence, the 'principle' is very simple, the only difficulty is the implementation process.
"As for the combination of ordinary pure carbon dioxide and pure water, we have actually made a breakthrough a long time ago, but because of the difficulty of popularization, we have not announced it accordingly."
In the video of the demonstration, the projection of the Red Queen also has relevant explanations.
In fact, this thing is a very common ability that Wang Yi has in another world.
Food creation and water creation are not things that are formed out of thin air. Water creation is to extract moisture from the air, similar to a high-efficiency dehumidifier.
Food creation is the combination of carbon dioxide and water.
The original principle is simple, and it can be easily reproduced with the help of magic power. What needs to be changed is to use electrical energy to complete the conversion operation in this lazy environment.
Therefore, the first pure food-making machine had long since been gathering dust in Wang Yi's mage tower.
The next step was to take it out and leave it to Lin Shiqin and the hired research team to tinker with.
The direction of tinkering is to enable the instrument to filter out toxic pollutants such as sulfur and phosphorus at low cost, thereby extending the life, productivity and controllability of the instrument.
To put it bluntly, it is the various breakthrough elements of commercialization.
After all, food itself isn’t an expensive thing in the first place, it’s just that it’s in huge demand.
So it is obviously not advisable to burn coal and the like just for this thing.
The best approach is similar to binding thermal power stations.
Burning one ton of coal can produce two to three tons of carbon dioxide. If water is added, it is equivalent to burning one ton of coal to produce several tons of food.
It’s just that there are usually a lot of impurities in coal. For example, a large coal-producing country likes to import coal from abroad. Because of the impurity problem, the cost of processing is lower than that of imported coal.
Lin Shiqin cooperates with the research team to tackle this aspect.
Now Umbrella's machines can directly attack thermal power stations, solving the problem of exhaust emissions while treating synthetic grains as by-products!
With the release of Umbrella's schematics and structural diagrams, there is also an on-site demonstration model.
It can be said that the whole world was shocked!
Damn it!
It really solves the famine problem!
Now the grain can be regarded as ‘dug out’!
"In addition to the industrial mass production version, our company has also launched corresponding home versions and outdoor portable versions, which mainly absorb the carbon dioxide traveling in the air and operate with solar energy. However, the efficiency is slower and the machine cost is more expensive."
In fact, the production difficulty of this portable version is much lower than that of the mass-produced version.
Just like seawater desalination, it is actually not difficult for one person to tinker with a set of desalination equipment, but it is quite difficult to supply it to the entire city to complete hydraulic construction.
"In addition, we also sell 'seasoning packs' that are matched based on nutrition. Synthetic starch itself not only tastes bad, but is also nutritious. We have added various vitamins and minerals to the 'seasoning packs' Trace elements, as well as some proteins, can be mixed according to the proportion and can be consumed for a long time to maintain personal needs. At the same time, according to the different amount of exercise, there are seven levels of different combinations from 'physical version' to 'weight loss version'. Each person can according to his daily needs. To make a rough judgment based on the amount of exercise..."
Seeing Umbrella's serious introduction, everyone gradually understood that this was something Umbrella had prepared for a long time!
No wonder, no wonder it obviously has a huge influence on Pakistan, but it mainly wants some minerals, and the farm is only assigned some tasks of planting medicinal materials, but does not extend its hands to food.
Good guy, I'm going to kill the four major grain dealers with one punch!
In fact, the problem can be seen by looking at the nutritional powder package proposed by Umbrella.
Although it seems that the synthesized thing is very simple, with this foundation, there are infinite possibilities.
From 0 to 1, the follow-up is pure improvement.
You can start the magic transformation by taking the 'synthetic carbohydrate' produced by Umbrella.
This stuff doesn’t taste good, so why can’t it be made into feed for livestock?
How can you directly enter the feed industry without beating people up?
You must know that even though the nutritional package Umbrella took out from behind may look inconspicuous, it actually has a very high technical content.
This is much better than those single protein powders.
Although these may require the use of other materials, they are also destined to be threatening.
But no matter what the four major grain merchants and some relevant stakeholders think.
At least Umbrella's announcement is still a breakthrough that will benefit the future!
Once fully rolled out, it will really eliminate hunger as Umbrella said!
Take data as an example. The annual output of corn is about 1 billion tons, which is the staple food with the highest output. Rice is 700 million tons, wheat is 700 million tons, and soybeans are 300 million tons.
Look, this is a huge number.
But the annual coal consumption is 8 billion tons!
Not to mention the conversion of all coal consumption, even if only one-tenth of the 'waste gas' of coal consumption is utilized, the carbohydrates that can be synthesized far exceed the total global food production.
In fact, the total global food production is more than enough to feed everyone, but businessmen are just chasing profits.
After the four major grain merchants control the upstream and downstream grain industry chains, they are purely serving their interests.
For example, Pakistan finally eliminated hunger in the past. However, because the four major grain merchants controlled the cultivation of some high-economic crops for export, and in turn imported large and beautiful grains, they made a lot of money back and forth, but at the same time, Pakistan became a world-famous country. The people in the granary don’t have enough to eat!
Food is essential and involves the core of survival.
It is something that can theoretically increase in price tenfold, hundredfold, thousandfold in the short term.
Not to mention the large-scale disaster, just say that I was stuck on the highway and my chest was pressed against my back because of hunger. A guy next to me came over and sold a box of instant noodles for fifty, and he would definitely pay without hesitation.
At this time, South Korea had entered such a scene.
With chaebols controlling commodities, it is easy for ordinary people to have trouble eating.
But all this was solved by the machine launched by Umbrella!
It doesn’t matter if it tastes bad, as long as you can survive!
This is really relying on technology to crush, defeating all methods with one force!
No matter how fancy and fierce your operations are, they will all be defeated with one force.
Although it will take time for Umbrella to arrive in South Korea.
But the problem is that South Korea itself is not really short of food, but what is lacking is 'confidence'.
Now Umbrella’s official announcement is to make up for the ‘confidence’!
The urgent matter was immediately solved...
Chapter 599
"Mr. Speaker, the plutocrats have agreed to come to your tea party."
Awen's secretary came forward and said to him.
When Umbrella announced their new results and had begun shipping the finished 'synthetic carbohydrate' and supporting manufacturing machines to South Korea.
The major chaebols who had originally rejected Awen's invitation in every possible way and ignored him began to quickly turn their heads and come to attend the appointment!
They started to dare to take action, that's because the person holding the key to life had to bow his head and had no choice!
But now that they have a choice, they will also have their own concerns and fears.
Now that the speaker has gotten together with Umbrella, the assassination is definitely out of the question.
And with Umbrella's power, other options are quite limited!
You must know that the current situation in South Korea is closely related to Umbrella's defeat in their eating skills.
They are overwhelmed in all aspects of technology, and there are still many factories in South Korea, plus those drones that have begun patrolling.
This...
Now it's the chaebols' turn and they have no choice!
After hearing what the secretary said, Awen couldn't help but laugh while sitting behind his desk.
He smiled brightly and felt a sense of relief.
Looking at the photo of his best friend on his desk, Awen couldn't help but pick it up and wipe it, sighed, and said to himself in front of the photo
"Awu, did you see that? Those arrogant guys bowed their heads..."
Then he sighed and looked up out of the window
"However, I don't know if my choice is right...
"At least for now, this wolf-eating tiger still has its own bottom line, which is much better than those dirty plutocrats..."
Awen is also wary and deeply worried about Umbrella.
But this is the best option available at the moment.
Because he found that there was no other way!
The improvement in Mexico and Brazil shows that that terrible company has its own bottom line while making profits. At least it is more reliable than Big Beauty...
Both he and Awu were born in bad circumstances. Awen's parents were from the north, and Awu was also from a large country in the east. Their childhood conditions were not good.
In South Korea, where class is entrenched, they have few options.
Awu only attended a vocational high school.
However, in addition to the one-in-a-million route of choosing universities and idols, South Korea also has a theoretically more difficult opportunity, which is the judicial examination where they do not look at diplomas.
Although Awu took the exam seven times, he still passed it.
Both of them could be said to have started out this way.
But in the process, they discovered that studying the Fa could not save South Korea.
Therefore, Awu stepped up and successfully won the election, even when faced with a crazy counterattack and impeachment, he still resisted.
And although because of the deep-rooted chaebol, he has room to make compromises with the chaebol, but Awu essentially wants to improve the environment of the entire South Korea.
For example, he is more interested in enhancing South Korea's own initiative, and he also shows favor to the east, and even meets with his neighbors in the north.
In addition, he could not accept that the Japanese who had taken refuge in Neon had a good life, while the descendants who fought against the invaders were in poverty, so he introduced a thorough investigation bill. Those Japanese who had received the "Japanese Emperor's Fund" , and the descendants of the two Japanese who made their fortune need to be liquidated.
When facing the Big Beauty, he also pointed out to his face that the northern neighbors were developing nuclear weapons for self-protection, and that they should be given a more relaxed environment and not be so pressurized. This made the Big Beauty unable to step down.
He is even considering taking back his command authority.
But it was a pity that so many people were offended at the same time. Nan Gaoli seemed to be seriously ill and had been weak for a long time. After a few strong medicines, he suffered serious backlash. He could not change Nan Gaoli who was suffering from a long time ago. In the end, he could only choose despair. of suicide.
After the next term and the next term came to power, they both canceled the bill to track down the Japanese Japs, and most of the other efforts were scrapped and restarted...
"Awu, I don't know whether this choice is good or bad this time. Maybe I will cause greater trouble and become a sinner nailed to the pillar of shame, but I want to try..."
After putting the photos away again, Awen stood up and walked outside. It was time to meet with those high-ranking chaebol figures...
……
When Ah Wen started to quarrel with the South Korean chaebols, Wang Yi encountered something that left him speechless.
"How did she get in?"
Wang Yi pointed at Li Yunxi among a group of warblers and said to Jin Guangyao next to him.
Li Yunxi is pretty and pretty, but she is the eldest lady herself, so she still feels a little out of place among the group of trainees and girl group members.
However, with Wang Yi's current level of attention and status, let alone the daughter of a chaebol, even if he falls in love with the chaebol's wife or even Lao Yin's wife, Jin Guangyao and Tucker will find a way to bring her over.
However, he remembered that he had never made any similar request.
"Ah hey, I came here myself."
Li Yunxi saw Wang Yi found him at a glance, but she spoke happily.
The trainees and girl group members next to them were also a little cautious at this time.
They knew that this lady was not to be messed with, and she could ban them with just one sentence.
At this time, everyone took a step back to highlight Li Yunxi.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Quan is too charming. The last time we met, the little girl couldn't forget him and fell in love at first sight."
Tucker next to him was also laughing at this time.
But now Tucker's appearance has changed again. One of his hands was broken and replaced with an enhanced robotic arm.
He didn't cut it off by himself, but his hand was scratched while participating in the mission together.
The blood flow rate of the human body is very fast, and normal people may not be able to react if they hesitate.
However, Tucker was also cruel and completed the wrist-breaking without any hesitation after being scratched.
Later, it simply underwent a comprehensive transformation.
Now all Tucker's hormones must be maintained by external input. He has no interest in women or anything else, but he is very enthusiastic about continuing to become stronger.
After replacing the robotic arm, he felt stronger!
And at that time, we can also accept some more powerful and unconventional modifications from the organization.
After hearing Tucker's words, Wang Yi also said a little speechlessly
"It's love at first sight, it's just love at first sight."
Wang Yi looked at the young lady and felt a little funny.
He could smell the other person's hormones, and he was indeed right.
But it was just a meeting on a helicopter. The suspension bridge effect plus the good sales of his skin, and the chain reaction caused by the blessing of status.
This is normal.
However, sending yourself as a gift directly shows that the other party is bold and capable of action.
This guy Wang Yi has some impression. He lived in her dormitory when Seoul National University was quarantined. It seems to be a bit of fate.
But that’s not how it’s used...
At this moment, Lin Shiqin's voice came from Wang Yi's headphones
"Boss, there have been preliminary discussions over there, and it is estimated that Hyundai Heavy Industries will be thrown out to take the blame."
Good guy, as expected, every time the organization organizes itself, it cherishes its feathers, and those who get injured are all bastards.
But think about it, although Hyundai was the Big Mac in the past, the Zheng family fell apart after infighting, and now the Four Stars are the leading eldest brother.
Recently, there has been a trend of shrinking again, and it seems normal to suppress it and throw it out.
The most important thing is that Hyundai has also purchased Umbrella's brain-computer debugging equipment in order to study whether it can be linked with other machines.
It can just explain the origin of the brain-computer debugging equipment in the laboratory, perfect...
Chapter 600 Reverse Harvesting
At the beginning, the South Korea chaebol acted unscrupulously even on basic livelihood necessities, and cooperated with international speculators to complete a series of operations, which made them confident.
It was determined that the Awen authorities would compromise.
Because there is no solution!
To put it bluntly, even if Awen can bypass the four major grain merchants and obtain grain from other places, problems may still arise in subsequent distribution.
The feeling that heaven and earth are united makes the South Korea chaebols think that they have become the protagonists.
The international plutocrats have to coax them, and the Awen authorities also need to bow their heads, and the organization has also extended an olive branch.
In this case, they had almost foreseen compromise, foreseen getting involved in their own weapons and becoming a powerful company like Umbrella.
But the sweet dream didn't last long, and everything was defeated by the new technology proposed by Umbrella.
It can be said that he was defeated without any ability to fight back!
In fact, Umbrella's support cannot arrive so quickly, as both finished products and equipment are still on their way to be shipped by sea.
But this can regain "confidence". As long as you have "confidence", many problems can be solved easily.
And even if it were assisted by any other party, their chaebol would still have the final say in this three-acre area of South Korea.
Even if the godfather arranges for someone to come over, they have to cooperate.
The only exception is Umbrella!
Before the battery industry began, Umbrella actually had its own factory in South Korea and acquired battery factories under four-star and other groups.
In the follow-up, Umbrella has also built many related industries in South Korea, including the semiconductor business.
Because many of the businesses were defeated by direct acquisitions of four-star and other groups, South Korea itself was happy to continue to keep the factories.
But it is also under this situation that it is reasonable for Umbrella's own factory to provide its own 'security guards'.
It has always been pretty good, and it doesn't make anyone feel any different.
It wasn't until the outbreak of neon zombies in many directions some time ago and Umbrella dispatched drones that many people's hearts froze, knowing that the 'security guards' in Umbrella's factories might also have such equipment.
It's just that Umbrella has always respected the laws, regulations and customs of various places, turned a deaf ear to what's going on outside the window, and doesn't care at all if he doesn't mess with me, so he relaxed his vigilance a little.
When problems began to arise at the Yongsan base in Seoul this time, and Umbrella's 'security' drones began to attack to cooperate, people were made aware of the horror of this fully intelligent control!
In the past, Umbrella still had satellite, signal and other related shortcomings. If you wanted to do this, you would need to rely on local network or communication service providers.
But now there are more than 20,000 satellites in the sky supporting Umbrella's global network system.
The efficient performance of these drones was immediately apparent.
Even with light firepower, there was a huge sense of intimidation!
At least after South Korea and Umbrella signed an agreement on public security maintenance and granted authorization, there was really no way to play dirty tricks with Umbrella in the land of South Korea.
They already have the power to handle public security matters!
The evidence collection ability is also extremely strong!
With the subsequent "humanitarian" support of food and machines, now that there are no more immediate problems, the chaebols need to worry about the coming backlash.
Helping foreign speculators deal with themselves in times of crisis can give the authorities enough excuses and reasons to deal with them.
With this trend, the chaebols can only give in!
Now I no longer dare to think about forming my own armed force, becoming a new Umbrella, etc. I just want to survive by cutting off my tail!
At this time, the organization can't help them, so it would be nice if they don't add insult to injury.
And...
Umbrella's massive capital tide also began to flow towards South Korea.
Than cash reserves?
Umbrella easily announced a research data collection project with a subsidy of nearly US$200 billion a year!
This money is allocated on a monthly basis and does not require much of Umbrella's capital pool. The amount that can be used in the short term is absolutely massive!
In fact, Umbrella has always spent money lavishly. In various mines and hospitals, it was given "too much", and the bosses who persisted were unable to find the answer.
But Umbrella's own fund-siphoning ability was too strong, so even with such lavish spending, it still kept increasing.
It's just that Umbrella has rarely carried out financial harvests, mainly because the rules of Dameili, the largest capital pool, are too strict.
This kind of strictness has obvious double standards. The upper and lower limits are too large. If you play on other people's territory, you are likely to be targeted.
Besides, there are not many places where such a large amount of funds can be squeezed in to operate, so it is really unnecessary.
But now that the incident took place in South Korea, it was still the size of a developed country, so this was different.
Although the capital base mainly relies on US dollars, Dameili doesn't dare to hinder Umbrella in a place like this that will ruin its reputation.
Just like when the financial crisis protected Hong Kong.
Originally, harvesting the tide relied on rules, but it would be really cool if the red line was broken!
First of all, Hyundai Heavy Industries was thrown out, and Umbrella simply regarded it as 'reward'.
When the beauty is still a mess, there is no time to worry about this.
With the current industrial system of Umbrella itself, there are not many places where Hyundai Heavy Industries can make up for its shortcomings. It would be better if they can distract their attention. Otherwise, it would be really miserable if they really plunge into the newly stabilized Wall Street. .
With the benefits obtained, the next operation is actually simple.
Back then, international speculators, with the cooperation of the Great Beauty Government, attacked South Korea and mobilized a total of US$300 billion!
At the beginning, South Korea had only tens of billions of foreign exchange reserves and its foreign debt was about to mature. It was simply difficult to resist.
Even though everyone was called on to donate gold, they couldn't resist it. Originally, Neon was prepared to spend 50 billion, but was directly warned by Big Beauty on the phone, which ultimately led to the collapse of the entire South Korea and was unable to resist.
In the end, at a cost of only US$55 billion, the International Monetary Fund signed a series of agreements that were humiliating and humiliating the country, and it was completely reduced to a vassal of the United States.
But this time, because things happened so suddenly and Big Beauty itself was in a mess, the funds that speculators could gather in the short term were actually not what they were twenty years ago.
About $200 billion.
However, generally speaking, the money in the hands of international speculators is just an introduction, and it is necessary to encourage others to follow suit by destroying their 'confidence'.
As long as it becomes a trend, if the opponent can't hold it back and is defeated, then they will be left to their own devices.
But when it comes to faith, who can compete with Rabbi Umbre?
"The company will reorganize Hyundai Heavy Industries, mainly to increase the company's production capacity in robots and automobiles. It is expected to greatly slow down the current purchase queue."
An official announcement from Umbrella was a shot in the arm for South Korea.
The purpose of looking at the announcement is to alleviate Umbrella's production capacity issues for its own products.
Most of the profits earned also belong to Umbrella.
But South Korea itself can get some soup!
At least the jobs and taxes are saved!
This is a life-saving straw for Southern Korea, whose main profit industries have been destroyed by Umbrella.
Coupled with the battery, semiconductor and other factories that have already been taken over, Umbrella alone is enough to stabilize the situation!
There is also Umbrella's massive cash flow and stable food.
Offensive and defensive transition!
International speculators themselves also have to invest real money, and this time it is equivalent to the transformation of real money on the side of the South Korea chaebol.
After the momentum that had been speculated for a long time was directly defeated by Umbrella, many funds suddenly saw something was wrong and started to waver.
But the matter has come to this, and it is no longer possible to retreat unscathed if you want to.
Whether it is financial items such as hedging, stock market or futures, in essence, someone still needs to "take over" in order to have an actual price.
Their original intention was to crush South Korea's foreign exchange reserves and kill him while he was sick.
The principle is actually very simple. It is to use the American knife in your hand as a deposit to lend a large amount of South Korea's own currency with high leverage through South Korea's defecting chaebols. Taking advantage of South Korea's multiple problems, it starts selling and destroying the market at the same time. Wait until South Korea After the foreign exchange reserves are depleted, they can then repay the money at cabbage prices to earn the difference.
As long as it breaks down, it can be regarded as a money grab, simple and violent.
However, the operation is a bit complicated. Usually, it is necessary to predict the other party's debt crisis and other problems in advance, which requires a long preparation time. In addition, in the early stage, you still work quietly and quietly obtain a large number of financial products. , wait until he is almost ready, then show his fangs, publicly announce how much he has mastered, and now invite all the heroes in the world to discuss it.
As an introduction, you can cooperate with the swarming speculators and the other party's own debts and other problems, and you can settle the opponent in one fell swoop.
This time, it was the defection of the South Korea chaebol that made the operation much easier. Even if the preparation time was not so sufficient, the goal was achieved.
But even so, this is not something they can withdraw immediately if they want to.
If they reveal their weakness, it will only lead to a panic-like run and be harvested wildly.
This is not just Umbrella, there will always be people in this world who make trouble...
————
Update completed~
Regarding the short-selling situation, those who are interested can learn about Porsche’s classic approach when it acquired Volkswagen.
Shorting currencies is actually similar, because the borrowed money has to be repaid, but the prerequisite is the cooperation of the currency issuer. Raising the price, reducing circulation and increasing the reservoir will create a game of musical chairs before the repayment deadline, which makes speculators If you step on yourself, the sooner you come out, the less losses you will suffer.
Because of this risk, generally speaking, they will attack the other party when there is a problem, which becomes the straw that breaks the camel's back. Generally speaking, these hedge funds themselves also cooperate with Big Beauty.
If this beautiful interest rate hike has depleted anyone enough to make up for their own losses, then they will let these people come out and light fires everywhere.
Generally speaking, South Korea is known as the canary due to economic deconstruction and size problems, and it is the first to fall every time...
But to put it bluntly, you have to be strong enough to be strong enough to be able to cope with all changes by remaining unchanged.
