Chapter 113 Shuo Shu!  Shuo Shu!

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although the Shuo Shu Project was an extremely risky plan, out of curiosity, Sikong Ling still ordered some scientists and engineers to form several project teams to study the feasibility and test it by digging a road from a large oil field in the empire to the port.  Sexually small underground passage.  This small channel is only one foot in diameter and is an adaptive excavation method that does not follow a straight line, but finds a path under the huge rock during the excavation process, mimicking the physical characteristics of an underground river. In this way, there is no need to  The pipeline can dig out a passage, and it is difficult for outsiders to tell whether it is an artificial or natural underground passage. Over time, this is especially true after the excavation track is washed away by the oil line.

    The excavation machine uses a nuclear engine ultra-high-pressure water flow drill. The sand-added ultra-high-pressure water flow can even drill holes in hard titanium alloys. The Shuoshu water drill does not have such high requirements because it only digs soft soil under hard rocks and ordinary sea water.  That's enough, because it is dug from the port side, so there is plenty of sea water, and there is plenty of power from the nuclear engine. Shuo Shuo, Shuo Shuo, just drill in as hard as you can.  When mixed with sea water, the broken soil will turn into a debris flow and be discharged to the seabed by a high-pressure water pump. On the seabed as deep as a thousand meters, the water pressure of the debris flow is controlled at the depth of the seawater, and everything is quiet.  There is a sonar vehicle on the ground that receives the special sound waves of the Shuo Shu machine. Sonar communication is the way the ground control vehicle controls the Shuo Shu.

    Everything is going smoothly, Shuoshu is approaching the oil field at a speed of 30 kilometers per day. This is probably the world's first miraculous project to dig directly from the port to the oil field, combining oil production and oil transportation into one.  This section of the oil pipeline is about 1,500 kilometers. Theoretically, it can be completed in 50 days. However, due to some failures, the first few hundred kilometers often require repairs. The progress is not that fast. It took more than two months in total.  It took a rat's road to dig out.  The small project can produce 10,000 barrels of crude oil per day, enough for a small refinery.

    This is really an interesting and beneficial attempt.  The advantage of the rat tunnel is that it has extremely low construction costs, extremely fast speed, and low maintenance costs. Except for a landslide that needs to be cleared every few days, there are no other costs. The places prone to landslides can be reinforced or another path can be found.  The constant temperature environment thousands of meters deep underground solves the problem of expensive materials and insulation for a large number of surface oil pipelines.

    While Sikong Ling comprehensively explored the location of OPEC's oil fields, he continued to test and excavate multiple oil pipelines. Finally, he found that a pipeline with a throughput equivalent to a diameter of about one meter is the most reasonable. If it is larger, collapses will continue to occur.  Phenomenon, Shuo Shu is exhausted and the oil circuit is unstable.

    After completing the pipelines of all oil fields in the Black Empire, it will be able to produce 1 million barrels of oil per day, which is equivalent to the level of Qatar. If it is sold through the refinery as finished products on the international market, it will make an annual profit of US$50 billion.  The US$60 billion cost of purchasing a large piece of desert to use as land has been earned back N times.

    The huge oil industry of the Black Empire has finally attracted global attention. Although there is no official data, based on shipping data, we can roughly estimate the huge export volume of refined oil products of the Black Empire.  Everyone thought they had found the biggest reason why ZSK bought the desert, and couldn't help but sigh at Lord Sikong's generosity. In fact, Sikong Ling just replaced the sea city plan with the desert nation-building plan. The sea city must be built, but 30 100,000-ton giants  A ship cannot be built in a short time, and once it is built, it seems reluctant to use it to build an artificial island. What a pity.

    The output of the Black Empire is one-fourteenth of the consumption of the 27 EU countries. If we want to appease our EU partners so that they can completely ignore OPEC¡¯s clamor for price increases, Lord Sikong must do a good job of producing at least 8 times the current output.  Reaching the same level as Saudi Arabia!

    ¡°Shuo Shu, Shuo Shu, it depends on your ability.

    While Sikong Ling was cultivating the master rats, he also sent Aite to the heads of government of the 27 EU countries, hoping that they would support nuclear energy and electric vehicles as policies to make energy safer.  Outsiders only thought that Sikong Ling was promoting business for his Zero Wind Nuclear Energy and Tesla. Only the heads of state who had contact with Sikong Ling discovered that Mr. Sikong had an extremely detailed reference plan for energy diversification in Europe. This move has profound meaning.  !

    Following the United States, the Bank of California will invest 100 billion euros in the European Union to build charging stations across the European continent. It is not just charging stations. If you are going on a long trip in Europe, you will find that you can rent batteries and exchange them at charging stations on the highway.  The battery refills faster than you can refuel.  There is also a directly operated second-hand car trading market to allow Europeans to sell used fuel cars to countries other than Europe and the United States.

    The cigarette detoxification process was invented!  Mr. Sikong went to the FDA to apply for approval, and at the same time he went to the most influential medical journal, the New England Journal of Medicine, to publish an article. At the same time, he announced the establishment of a cigarette factory in the Caribbean Federation to produce two types of cigarettes, one of which is 50% detoxified.  One is to retain the taste of cigarettes, and the other is 100% detoxified, which can completely replace cigarettes without health risks.

    In the human brain, there is an area called the reward center, which is used when people are engaged in certain tasks for survival and reproduction.During crucial activities, such as drinking, eating, mating, and socializing, the reward center releases a substance called dopamine, which creates a pleasant feeling, thus motivating people to continue engaging in these beneficial activities.  However, when smoking or taking drugs, although these activities are harmful to the human body, the reward center will also release a large amount of dopamine as a reward.  For example, when smoking, after taking the first puff, a few seconds later, nicotine will reach the brain through the blood and enter the reward center, stimulating it to release dopamine.  This process is very fast and very addictive.  As long as a teenager smokes 4 cigarettes, he may be addicted to smoking for life.  In other words, the nicotine in tobacco kidnaps the reward center in the human brain, giving people the illusion that smoking is beneficial.

    Not to mention that tobacco contains a large amount of carcinogens and other harmful substances, nicotine itself is a toxic substance. If all the nicotine contained in 4 cigarettes is absorbed by a person, it is enough to kill a person (fortunately, when smoking, only  A very small amount of the nicotine is inhaled).  Nicotine is a natural pesticide that evolved in the Solanaceae family, including tobacco, to prevent pests and herbivores from eating them.  How does this natural pesticide hijack the reward center of the human brain?

    The human brain contains many nerve cells. If you look at nerve cells under a microscope, you will find that they are very different from other cells in appearance, with long processes.  Nerve cells contact each other through these processes to receive and transmit signals.  The part where the nerve cell processes contact each other is called a synapse. If you look closely, you will see that the synapses of the two nerve cells are not connected together, and there is a gap in the middle.  How do signals pass through gaps?  At this time, a type of chemical substance is needed as a transmitter.  After receiving a nerve signal, one of the nerve cells releases neurotransmitters at the end of its process. The neurotransmitter passes through the synaptic gap and reaches the end of the process of the other nerve cell. There are many specific receptors on the cell membranes of these ends.  , neurotransmitters bind to these receptors, and the signal is transmitted.

    The earliest discovered neurotransmitter is choline, and the receptor it binds to is choline receptor.  **Choline receptor is actually an ion channel composed of proteins, and the channel is usually closed.  **After choline binds to the receptor, the ion channel is opened, and extracellular sodium ions, potassium ions, and calcium ions enter the nerve cells, triggering a series of reactions.  If in the reward center, these subsequent reactions include the release of dopamine.  Then phosphocholine is quickly degraded and cleared, and the ion channels on the receptors are closed again, waiting for the next batch of phosphocholine to bind.

    The combination of neurotransmitters and receptors, like the combination of a key and a keyhole, is very specific.  But nicotine is like a forged key that happens to bind to a certain type of choline receptor (this type of receptor is called nicotinic choline receptor), open ion channels, and stimulate the release of dopamine.  .  Moreover, nicotine binds very tightly to choline receptors and is not eliminated as quickly as choline. Its half-life (the time it takes to lose half of it) is as long as 2 hours.  But the ion channel cannot always be open. If the key is kept inserted in the keyhole and is not pulled out, the channel will close by itself.  This process is called desensitization.  As the smoker continues to smoke, his body always contains nicotine. As a result, most of the nicotinic choline receptors are occupied by nicotine and are in a desensitized state, unable to respond to choline.  .

    But the nerve signals still have to be transmitted, what should we do?  Nerve cells have no choice but to create more choline receptors so that they can combine with choline to ensure normal transmission of nerve signals.  Therefore, on the nerve cells of smokers, the number of choline receptors is much greater than that of ordinary people. Most of them are occupied by nicotine and have no effect. The number of choline receptors that are left to work is the same as that of ordinary people.  Almost.  If a smoker has not smoked for a long time, such as sleeping or quitting smoking, nicotine is gradually removed from the body, and the receptors originally occupied by nicotine are freed up and can also bind to choline.  Now there is a problem. There are many more vacant receptors than usual, and they are all combined with choline, and the transmission of nerve signals is messed up (the number of choline is more than the receptors, and the number of receptors that can be combined is determined by the receptors.  (the number of smokers in the body is controlled), the body will experience various discomforts and withdrawal reactions, and the smoker will feel particularly uncomfortable and want to smoke one as soon as possible to return the number of empty receptors in the body to normal.  Therefore, once smoking is addicted, it is not mainly to obtain pleasure, but to avoid discomfort.

    50% detoxified cigarettes not only have their own toxicity reduced by 50%, but also add a long-acting factor so that smokers can only get pleasure from smoking once a day, which can be used as a prelude to quitting smoking completely.  If you only take one a day, it is quite beneficial to reduce health risks.  Because 100% detoxified cigarettes are completely detoxified, they do not require long-acting factors. You can get pleasure from one cigarette every two hours. The great thing is that this kind of cigarette will not cause physiological discomfort after you calm down.  Feeling and mental dependence are another matter. If you are not mentally dependentLai, what do I, Da Sikong, do to make money?

    The New England Journal of Medicine is authoritative, and there is no need for Sir Sikong to direct it. The global media is paying attention to this big event, and the Caribbean Tobacco Factory suddenly became a big star in the world's tobacco industry.  In the months to years it takes for the FDA to verify tobacco detoxification agents, it will be the only tobacco factory applying this detoxification process.  Mr. Sikong's strength in biotechnology is so appealing that smokers all over the world are flocking to it. For the first time, two states in the Caribbean Federation have become net importers of tobacco because they are used to produce detoxified cigarettes.

    In the first year alone, Caribbean Tobacco Factory earned US$50 billion in revenue. Because of Tmall¡¯s global sales network, smokers around the world actually have the urge to try something new.  Driven by the cigarette industry, the Caribbean Federation has made another economic leap, with per capita GDP exceeding US$15,000.  The country¡¯s economic strength surpasses that of Greece, and ranks behind Venezuela, one of the main members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, with an extremely narrow gap. Note: Some data say that Venezuela¡¯s oil reserves may be higher than those of Saudi Arabia!

    People in the Caribbean Federation all liked on Twitter - Our great Lord Buddha ZSK may live forever!

    Although the people of the Caribbean are flattering so loudly, it is obvious that Sikong Ling only regards it as a profit base and does not have the important goal of expanding employment as it was at the beginning, because he now feels that it is stupid to sympathize with this gang of black carbon.  The Caribbean Cigarette Factory just makes money and has fun with it. Workers' wages are still maintained at a low level. If you don't like the job, just leave. Your little work is only worth so much.  The huge output value of 50 billion only recruited 3,000 workers, and the wages were only a little more than ordinary cigarette factories.

    "As for the unemployed, go join the army. Lord Sikong's expansion of the federal army is eye-catching, from the original 50,000 soldiers to 160,000 in one fell swoop!  The largest army in the Caribbean was Cuba's 80,000-strong army. This immediately attracted the attention of the Commander-in-Chief of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces Hey, brother, what are you trying to do?

    Mr. Castro, you are worrying too much. Do you understand that you are preparing to send peacekeeping troops to Africa?  We still don¡¯t like your little broken island. Congo Adventure is a good place to go.

    Puerto Rico, a small country in the Caribbean that is second only to the Caribbean Federation in population, has a population of 4 million. It is located on the east side of Dominica. This small island country is amazing, with a per capita GDP of nearly 20,000 US dollars. It is a wealthy country.  This country really wants to join the United States and become the 51st state, but it¡¯s a pity that Americans don¡¯t like your $20,000. You know, the state rights in the United States are quite large. Like Alaska, which only has a population of 7 million, it is still guaranteed to have two states.  What do you think about this tiny little Puerto Rico, a senator in Congress?

    Although Puerto Rico is a small country, its economy cannot be underestimated. It is actually a small pharmaceutical industry center. They recognized Mr. Sikong¡¯s supremacy in the pharmaceutical industry. Many netizens launched an appeal on Twitter to give up the pursuit of the United States, which has been unsuccessful for decades.  51st state status, switching to Caribbean Federation!

    They now regard the President of the United States as their head of state. After giving up, the top leader is the governor. The governor of Puerto Rico pushed for a new referendum on whether to join the Caribbean Federation?  The good thing is that Mr. ZSK is guiding us in the direction we are going. The bad thing is we will become compatriots with the two black carbon states in the future, and their economy is a little worse than ours for the time being. This gap will soon be closed. You know, in a few years  The per capita GDP of Haiti was less than 500 US dollars!

    ? Puerto Rico has 75% white people, and this island looks much more pleasing to the eye.

    Lord Sikong expressed his stance on this referendum: It¡¯s interesting, let¡¯s give it a try.

    The result of the referendum is that a little over 50% are willing to join the Caribbean Federation. The will is not yet firm because there are rumors on the Internet that Mr. Sikong actually implements a dictatorship. This is a bit difficult for Puerto Ricans.

    Not long after, the New England Journal of Medicine published another blockbuster article, Ladder Labs produced a weight-loss drug that instantly beats all competitors!

    Lord Sikong threw out the bait: ¡°After joining the Caribbean Federation, diet pills will be produced in Puerto Rico.¡±

    The Puerto Ricans were still being pretentious, but an accident happened. Jamaica also held a referendum. Subsequently, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Guyana, several extremely poor countries in Latin America, held referendums one after another, demanding to join the Caribbean Federation!

    "Yo Xi, that's great. It's just another poor country, Guyana!"  This country is not only huge, three times the size of Spanish Island, but also adjacent to Venezuela. This is really useful for Shuo Shu's plan to steal oil from Venezuela!  The border is no more than 1,500 kilometers away from Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela's largest oil field, which is exactly within Shuoshu's "combat radius"!

    In order to plot against Guyana, Sikong Ling specially tweeted before their referendum: A country as big as yours has a population of less than 800,000. It is a pity that it has abundant resources. It should build up its infrastructure to attract labor from the Spanish island and move closer to Guyana.?Nereira, well, I could build a large refinery in Guyana.

    This has ignited the enthusiasm of Guyanese people to vote. This matter cannot be rushed.

    The referendum in Nicaragua was sabotaged by the powerful ruler President Ortaga. He instigated the Nicaraguan media to say a lot of bad things about ZSK, especially the inhumane anti-religion and dictatorship.  Even Haiti, which was deeply favored by ZSK, might be incited, let alone Nicaragua under Ortaga's rule.

    It has never been possible in ancient times to annex other countries without great benefits.  Puerto Rico is interested in his status as a pharmaceutical tycoon. Since Guyana has a "strategic position" close to Venezuela, it will take heavy action.  Sikong Ling sent the Ice Blade organization to gather information and contact the congressmen who supported joining the federation.  Poor countries are best at manipulation, just asking for money.  Sikong Ling even formulated a detailed plan for economic assistance. As a junior member of the federation, there will be no tariffs between member states. The military will be borne by the federation. The federation will provide member states with US$10 to 10 billion to build infrastructure.  As a secondary member, diplomacy is determined by the federation and helps member countries develop advanced basic industries.  Senior Member, Central Bank to Federal Government.  These are the three main things ZSK is interested in in a country: military, diplomacy and finance.  The military is the foundation. Without unified national defense, the federation is meaningless.  Diplomacy is also a symbol of a country.  Finance is ZSK's idea for developing a country. Only when all government affairs, business, education, and economy are digitized can a country enter true modernization. Once government affairs and commerce are digitized, corruption will be eradicated, which is the best choice for an ideal country.  In fact, finance is the final blow to the rule of a country. Like during the riots in Haiti, all power returned to the hands of the president who had planned for a long time, but all the money was saved in the hands of Sikong Ling, and in the end Haiti was  The president flipped.

    In order to cover up his excessive attention to Guyana, Sikong Ling sent an invitation to all Caribbean Community members through the Caribbean Community headquartered in Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. Come on, the era of the Caribbean is waiting for you.

    The development of Haiti and Dominica is too dazzling. The leaders of poor countries really need to consider this issue. The more democratic countries are, the more they must consider it. On the contrary, the leaders of authoritarian countries are doing everything possible to eliminate them in order to maintain their rule.  People's desire to get rich.  Puerto Rico did not resist the temptation of weight loss medicine, and finally discussed the details of joining the Caribbean federal government. The Caribbean Federation added 4 million high-quality citizens, and the young man was overjoyed.

    ??Jamaica follows in the footsteps of Puerto Rico, adding another 3 million citizens to the Caribbean federation.

    How can Guyana, the most important country in the world, escape from the clutches of a young man?

    Spontaneous requests are of course the most powerful. The rest of the countries are dragging their feet in the entanglements of various forces and are no longer under the attention of the young man. Guyana has nothing to ask for.

    Beautiful Guyana, 85% of its land area is covered with forests. How good is the air?  Keltur, the largest waterfall in the world, can also be said to be ****.  The capital, George Town, claims to account for 25% of the country's population, but it only has 180,000 people. Chinese people are shocked when they hear this. Is this also called the capital?  There is no doubt that Sikong Ling wants to build a good nuclear power plant for this beautiful little city. In the future, when building a refinery far away from the city center, it must have extremely high environmental protection standards and not cause any trouble to the fresh Guyana.

    Being used to a harsh land like the Sahara, visiting Guyana gave the boy a feeling of first love.  To the west is the oil-rich Venezuela, and to the south is one of the BRIC countries, the great Brazilian Empire!  From now on, we will have to compete with the big players on the world stage.

    The headline of Rupert Murdoch¡¯s Wall Street Journal, which specializes in troubling teenagers: ZSK annexes the third and fourth largest island countries in the Caribbean and lands in South America through Guyana!
