There's a black hole inside me - Chapter 373
c373 Sensational
Tens of millions of tons of rice.
Enough to feed at least 20 million people for a year.
However, the total number of Wei Ming and others who came off the Scientific Exploration Ship was only three thousand, and they would not be able to finish them in thousands of years.
One million tons of polished rice with full grains and the best quality are screened out and stored in infinite time and space gems to always maintain the best taste and freshness.
What to do with the remaining nine million tons?
“How about selling it as a bulk commodity to surrounding countries and forces?” an expert suggested.
“How much money can I make from this?”
Another expert shook his head and said: “Nine million tons of grain, excluding all costs, is only worth a few hundred thousand gold coins at most. But do we lack such a small amount of money? Can it play any role? How cost-effective this kind of business is too low.”
Uh~
The experts fell silent.
This is indeed the case.
Not even selling food, it doesn’t make much sense to sell high value-added technological products or luxury goods that can bring ten or a hundred times profits.
Because they have no shortage of money.
Gold alone, which is an absolute hard currency in Julius Soma’s world, has several trillion tons, enough to buy the world.
money,
Just a numerical concept, not a goal worth pursuing.
“To change my thinking, making money is not as good as making fame.”
Chen Jian said: “We won’t sell the nine million tons of extra grain. We will just put it there and let people take it for free. You can take as much as you can. It’s free. It’s free. You just need to bring your own container.” Just transport it.”
“In this way, we will spread our reputation and attract a large number of indigenous people to develop and settle. In addition, we will spend a lot of money to attract and recruit magician talents, and turn it into a prosperous place.”
“As the popularity increases and business develops, talents will flow to us. Slowly, we can build a magic center, build a large library and a large magic school, and attract the top group of great magicians. Uncover the ultimate mystery of magic.”
“This is a good idea.”
Wei Ming nodded: “Free is a big killer. It can indeed attract a large number of people to come and create a prosperous place. Slowly, it will form a rainbow effect on talents. Easily, it will reach achieved our intended goal.”
“Okay, let’s settle it like this. It’s just food. We can plant as much as we want. We don’t lack the gold coins. Why not use it to earn fame? It will have a greater effect.”
“Yes, boss!”
The experts nodded and said.
Then.
A day or two passed.
Nine million tons of grain were all pulled and stored in nearly a hundred giant granaries with a reserve of 100,000 tons. There were multiple valves underneath, like faucet switches. As long as the switch was turned, the shelling had been completed. The white rice will flow out and can be packed away in a bag.
the other side,
The free food distribution in the Magic Research City was spread throughout every rural area and city within a thousand miles through drones carrying loudspeakers, and was heard by millions of indigenous people.
The environment at that time was a long night with only a faint moonlight, which was not a time when people were more active.
But it still caused a huge sensation.
“Is there free food available in the Magic City to the west?”
“Bring the bags and the oxcart and take as much as you want?”
“How could such a good thing happen?”
“It would be great if the nobles didn’t take away our food. How could they give it to us for free?”
“It’s fake. Don’t go. If you go, you will be arrested, become a slave, and work hard until you die.” Many lords threatened.
However, the fact that Magic City gives away food for free is absolutely true.
Under the bombardment of drone advertisements, the first competitor appeared.
That is the citizens of Doda Town.
One of the families was too poor and had too many children. They thought that if there was not enough food to eat, some people would starve to death. So they sent one of their daughters, Phyllis, to carry a small bag to the big granary in the west of the town. Bring some rice back and see if those true gods are really gifts, not some trap.
Phyllis went out.
This little girl, who was only 10 years old, went out anxiously with a cloth bag in her hand.
Although she is very young, it does not mean that she does not understand anything. She is actually a very smart child.
She also vaguely knew that the true god might send some food out of mercy, but more often than not, it might be a trap.
On this planet, there is also a proverb similar to “pie in the sky will never fall”.
So her plan was that if the food was really free, she would get some food back. If it was a trap and the situation was not good, she would throw away the bag and run home immediately.
Came to the granary area.
In the dark night.
Dozens of giant granaries with a height of nearly 100 meters, like standing warriors, exude an aura that cannot be approached.
Phyllis bent down.
Sneaking around, he approached one of the granaries. He kept his eyes wide open and remained highly vigilant. He carefully looked around before and after to make sure there were no dangers or traps.
Then, with some trembling, he put his hand on a valve and began to twist it slowly.
She was young and weak, so it took her elder brother’s effort to turn the valve, and the white grains of rice flowed out.
Close the bag.
After turning the valve a little more, the white rice grains flowed out at a high speed, filling the bag in a short while, and even overflowing onto the ground.
She quickly closed the valve.
Lying on the ground, she picked up the scattered rice grains with some distress and put them in her pocket, not wanting to waste them.
After that, she looked around again and confirmed that there was no danger. Then she put the bag full of rice on her thin shoulders and hurried home with a staggering step.
And she didn’t dare to look back. She walked faster and faster, as if she was afraid that something would catch up with her.
Until she got home.
She breathed a sigh of relief and saw the surprised faces of her family members.
Twenty kilograms of white rice.
Enough for the family to eat for five to seven days, plus the remaining food, they could barely survive this long night.
So they rested for a few hours.
Phyllis embarked on the second journey of moving grain, and brought her 8-year-old sister Grace with her. Although her sister was very young, she could also carry about ten kilograms of grain.
Soon.
The two sisters carried back another 30 kilograms of rice.
“The true gods didn’t lie to us. There is no guard around the granary. The grain can really be taken at will. You can go with me.” Phyllis said to her parents.
Even so.
Her parents still asked her and her sister to move two more 60 kilograms of rice before they finally confirmed that the true god’s mercy was real.
So the whole family joined the team to move the grain.
They began to move frantically. In just a few days, they moved thousands of kilograms of rice to their home, enough to eat for a year or two. They even used up all the containers in the house, so they had to borrow from neighbors, which spread the message that “it is safe to take the true god’s food.”
After a while.
Hundreds of natives in the entire Duoda Town joined the ranks of frantically moving grain.
The most exaggerated family, with the help of livestock, transported tens of thousands of kilograms of rice to their home in a short period of time, filling all the places that could be placed with rice, and even piled rice in the room, which was bound to cause serious waste.
But even so, no true god came to remind and warn this family to stop and not waste.
It was as if they really let it go and took as much as they wanted.
Doda Town was almost drowned in rice.
Soon, a family in another village was starving, and the natives who came to try their luck transported a cart of 200 kilograms of rice back to their village.
The villages within 20 kilometers around fell into madness.
Then it was 100 kilometers around.
A thousand miles around.
More and more villages and cities fell into madness.
Millions of natives, carrying grain bags and carriages, rushed to the location of the granary and frantically took the grain. In the long night, torches continued, the noise was deafening, and the excitement, scramble, and thanks were endless.
About 20 days later.
As the long day approached, the sky was obviously much brighter.
In the Principality of Yalin, Duke Idiga came with 5,000 elite cavalry.
At first, he wanted to order the massacre of all the lower-class civilians around the granary, control all the granaries, and prevent the loss of precious grain assets.
But hundreds of giant robots fell from the sky and blocked his cavalry corps, issuing a stern warning: No fighting or bloodshed near the granary, and those who violated the order would be killed without mercy.
Duke Idiga was shocked and had to order the cavalry not to kill. He then requested a visit and wanted to meet the adults of the Magic Research City.
Wei Qi appeared in front of him and negotiated with him.
“Dear guests, what do you mean? You suddenly threw out so much food, and the civilians of my duchy left their lords and came to get food. Many people left and never came back, and had to stay in your territory… If this goes on, who would be willing to stay in their hometown to farm and work hard? The people in my dukedom must run away quickly, leaving no one behind.”
“I implore all the distinguished guests to stop this and restore the original peaceful order.”
“We grow too much food and can’t digest it, so we plan to give away some of it. We don’t have any other ideas.”
Wei Qi explained: “I understand that you have opinions, and there is some truth in it, but…we don’t plan to change. All the extra food will be distributed for free. You can take some food, but if you want to kill people and make trouble, don’t blame our robot army for being rude.”
“This…”
Seeing that the representative of the Black Chamber of Commerce spoke so toughly, Duke Idiga felt very unhappy, but he didn’t dare to say anything harsh, such as revenge, so he had to say: “Okay.” He chose to simply admit his defeat.
Because there was no need to try. His five thousand elite cavalry were no match for those hundreds of super weapons. Once a conflict broke out, they would be beaten to pieces and wiped out… He had such a strong premonition.
Since people cannot be killed.
There must be no bloodshed, otherwise they will be permanently blacklisted and recorded in the face recognition database.
So the five thousand elite cavalry led by Duke Idiga all put their weapons aside, took out their bags, and joined the turbulent rice transportation business.
In just a few days, they took away at least several thousand tons of refined rice and put it in their own private granary, with at least a year’s worth of food reserves.
But because they did not get the extra reward, Duke Idiga’s five thousand elite cavalry were very dissatisfied. They were torn apart in an instant, disbanded, and then turned into defeated soldiers. They returned to their homes, took out cloth bags and ox carts, and ran to get food for their families.
The five thousand cavalry became a mess.
If there was a force that launched an attack on the Principality of Yalin at this time, it would take only a few days to destroy the principality and reap huge benefits.
Fortunately, no force had such a bold idea.
Because some of the surrounding principalities and kingdoms also ran to the magic city with millions of refugees and poor farmers, and dragged their families with them, with their eyes full of desire, wanting to live a good life without worrying about food and drink.
But the surrounding countries did not want to see the phenomenon of large-scale population loss, so on the one hand, they strongly obstructed it, and on the other hand, they also sent a large number of grain-collecting teams, wanting to get a share and take away a lot of food… Even if they were hundreds of kilometers away, the cost-effectiveness of transportation was not very high.
Dawn came.
Daybreak.
Another long day came.
But the climax of taking grain has just begun.
After all, it is easier to move during the day, and the road is clearer. Some thieves and criminals who are very active at night will be a little more restrained during the day, or even forbearing, looking for the right time to act.
Therefore, the safety of daytime activities is much higher.
Therefore, during the long day, the number of natives coming to the big granary has increased several times or even dozens of times.
More white rice was taken away.
Nearly a hundred giant granaries, a large amount of rice was taken away every day.
But even so.
Nine million tons of rice cannot be moved in just two months, even if there are many hoarders, crazy transportation and hoarding, filling every corner of the house with grain.
However, as long as the valve is turned on, the white rice seems to be endless, but the flow rate is slower than before.
Until this long day cycle is about to reach the end, when the sun is about to set.
In the outer area of the big granary, there are finally two or three tall granaries that no longer flow out white rice, and the internal reserves have been taken out.
But less than two days passed.
Before the long night came.
Several aircraft came to the top of the granary, first took off the top cover, then used the large-capacity space to store items, and then poured a large amount of white rice into the granary.
That’s right.
The second batch of fast-growing rice matured.
The output was still tens of millions of tons.
Because most of it could not be eaten, it could only be poured into these large granaries, allowing the surrounding natives to take it at will.
After a while, all the granaries were filled.
The tens of thousands of natives who were still frantically taking food finally slowed down their movements and showed stunned expressions.
And?
Inexhaustible?
“Supreme True God, we are willing to offer our eternal faith!”
Countless natives knelt on the ground, with extremely pious faces.
The surrounding forces, big and small, were even more shocked, and they all focused on this special foreign force.
