"Well, now that you say so."

If you don’t understand politics, asking too many questions will only give you a headache. Not having a hobby of self-abuse, Shi Xiaolei decided to change the topic: "What are the arrangements next? I mean, after we get the island."

"There are so many things to do." Rubbing his eye sockets, Stark poured himself another sip of wine: "Exploring the island's terrain, testing the environment and climate, cleaning up the existing flora and fauna, and producing design drawings... It does not count as breaking ground. There are a lot of things to do in the end, just the preliminary preparations."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Of course." Putting down his wine glass, Stark snapped his fingers: "That's why I came to see you today."

"Really?" He picked up the bottle and refilled Stark's drink, then put a piece of ice in his glass. Shi Xiaolei made a joke: "You don't want to drag me to chop down trees and move bricks, do you? ?The vampires have been cleaned up, and all I can think of is some work left."

"Tch, no matter how capable you are, can you still compare to the engineering team?" Stark rolled his eyes.

"So, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"Two things in total." Stark raised two fingers: "First, as I told you before, animal and plant genetic samples. Second, I need you to take some time to go to the island to help clean up the existing various Plant an animal.”

"..." After hearing the second sentence, Shi Xiaolei was a little puzzled: "Clean up the existing animals? Why don't I understand?"

"Have you ever heard of the Aztecs? They are the ancient Mesoamerican civilizations that are often mentioned in history books and are now extinct." Before Shi Xiaolei nodded to answer, Stark continued: "Except for the Spanish conquest by force, the white people Various infectious germs brought from Europe were also one of the key reasons for the decline and demise of this civilization.

The colonists at that time brought many diseases that were unfamiliar to the Native Americans to the New World. The most notorious of these was smallpox. In addition, there are diseases such as measles, diphtheria, typhoid, influenza, and mumps.

In modern times, these diseases are not considered a threat, but in that era, for the aborigines without antibodies, every foreign infectious disease was an invisible god of death. Faced with these diseases, they had no power to fight back, and they even had no place to escape... There was no record left. If someone could compile the data, perhaps the number of Aboriginal people who died due to infectious diseases would be greater than that caused by colonization. More people died in the war. "

"Emm, I think I've heard of it... I'm not sure."

"It doesn't matter whether you have heard of it or not. What I want to say is the cause and effect relationship in this matter." Stark raised his eyebrows: "The local indigenous people will die due to foreign infectious diseases. By the same token, When we replicate dinosaurs on the island, they may also be infected by modern viruses... To put it simply, they are acclimatized, do you understand?"

"..." Looking at Stark, Shi Xiaolei was silent for a while: "After listening for a long time, I thought you were going to say something, that's it?"

"You already knew?" Stark asked.

"Nonsense." Shi Xiaolei rolled his eyes speechlessly: "I had already thought of this when you asked me to prepare the genetic samples. Please, I'm not one of those uneducated natives on Nihau Island. I'd better know some common sense."

"Then you just..."

"What I'm asking is why do you have to let me go!" Shi Xiaolei said: "The island is so big, how many living creatures can there be? Besides, don't you plan to go through the entire island? Carpet-style push the map, just in time Then we cleaned up the animals. Why did you have to come to me to help you?"

"First, something might slip through the net during the cleaning process. Second, it would be easiest to attack you." Stark raised two fingers again.

"One can understand, but two..." Shi Xiaolei shook his head: "I don't understand."

"It's really hard to talk to you." Stark sighed: "Forget it, let me tell you straight, do you still have the green potion you used last time? It was the one you threw out when we were dealing with vampires that day. , the kind that will explode into a large green mist."

"you mean……"

"Yes, it's what you think." Stark then relaxed his expression, leaned back and crossed his legs: "That thing works quickly, covers a large area, has strong permeability, and has no residue, no matter where it comes from From all aspects, it can be regarded as the best 'insecticide'. I have calculated that based on the ratio of one bottle covering 500 square meters, it only takes 360,000 bottles to clean up the entire island."

"360,000 bottles?!!!" Shi Xiaolei's eyes widened: "Man, are you kidding me?"

"A lot?" Stark shrugged and asked.

"Of course it's a lot, no, it should be exaggerated, okay?"

"Really? Then let me calculate an account for you." Stark snapped his fingers: "Suppose the price of a bottle of green potion...emmm, let's calculate it a little more, let's say its price is ten times that of the red potion. , a bottle costs US$100,000. To clean one square kilometer, it takes two thousand bottles, which is 200 million. Do you think it’s expensive?”

"Isn't it expensive?"

"Of course it's not expensive." Stark replied resolutely: "If the requirements are not so high, you only need to clean up the rats, geckos, cockroaches and the like like cleaning a house. The cost for one square kilometer will only be tens or millions. That’s all. But if the requirements are higher, ants, mosquitoes, flies and even a large number of microorganisms must be cleaned up together... This kind of laboratory-level cleanup costs not to mention 200 million. Even if it costs 2 billion, it will still be enough. It may not be possible.”

"Using conventional methods to clean up the entire island would cost hundreds of billions. But if you change it to the green potion you used that day..." Stark smiled: "Even if you prepare more supplies, according to 400,000 bottles Calculated, the cost is only 40 billion, less than half of the conventional method. Compare, which one do you think is more cost-effective?"

"But……"

"Of course, the set of data I listed has a premise, that is, the price of a bottle of green potion will not exceed ten times that of the red potion. If it exceeds, just pretend that I didn't say anything." After a pause, Stark Finally asked: "So, how much does a bottle of that stuff cost? Is it more expensive than I expected, or..."

"It's not about the price." He just listened to Stark's calculation and never had a chance to speak. At this moment, Shi Xiaolei finally said something: "What I mean is, if the gap is not big, as long as one or two thousand bottles, I can still think of a way. 360,000 bottles... Man, what do you think that is? Coke produced on an assembly line in a beverage factory? Come on, that's a magic potion! Have you seen it in any fairy tale? When a mage makes a potion, he boils it out one ton at a time."
