"Friends, you should probably take a look at this."

The fiery red twilight shone into the window. Skate glanced at Si Enzi sitting in front of him and the woman in the corner, and placed the documents in his hands on the old table.

The disaster that destroyed everything has passed. With the help of the Nolanka mercenary group, the city has restored power and network.

From St. John City to the Federation, everyone was narrating the vision that happened last night.

After a fierce battle last night, the city defense army regained control of the high wall. Most of the mercenaries of the Kjet Group chose to surrender. The remaining small number of die-hards are being surrounded and suppressed by the mecha troops.

The main force of the Nolanka Mercenary Group has entered the city in the morning, working with the FBI to clean up the potentially contaminated items left behind by the Kjet Mercenary Group and Virente.

At this moment, the remaining people gather here to exchange the results of the first stage.

Faith, the leader of the Nolanka mercenary group, should actually be here, but he doesn't want to get involved in these non-combat details.

Another key figure, Yin Xiya, is still in the hospital because she was too seriously injured and cannot come.

"What's this?"

Si Enji, who was wrapped in bandages, picked up a document and flipped through it, then his face gradually darkened.

“Preliminary Findings of FBI Investigation at Kjet Group Plant,”

Skate sighed, "In the past, the Kjet Group would never let us enter these factories, but last night's incident allowed us to legally enter the factory to investigate, and they have no power to hinder us.

"

In another corner of the table, there sat a beauty with chestnut hair and a single ponytail in professional attire. She listened to Skeet's words, took a piece of information, and flipped through the title page of the document. After a brief pause, she looked up at Skeet.

kate,

“So, this is the core of the ‘food production’ technology that QJET Group is proud of?”

"Yes,"

Skate nodded slightly.

This was actually the first time he saw the woman in the corner. She called herself Lina and was a representative sent by the Nolanka Group.

Although Skate didn't know how the old gentleman contacted the Noranka Group, the arrival of the Noranka mercenary group last night did play the most critical role.

And after the incident, the city government was basically abolished and the city defense army was half disabled. The Nolanka Mercenary Group also became the core force to stabilize the entire city.

Now the other party also has the right to know everything that happens in St. John City.

He also organized his language, opened the document, and showed a photo that took up a whole page. It was a photo of a 'machine' with fine purple lines carved on it, and continued,

"Our detectives entered the deepest core of the Kjet Group factory and discovered these things."

"This is..." Lina stared at the photo, "carbon dioxide enrichment equipment?"

She is responsible for part of the Nolanka Group's grain business, and she has a certain understanding of grain production.

The Federation's primary source of food is artificial food produced through artificial carbon fixation.

That is to fix the carbon dioxide in the air into different types of starches such as amylose and amylopectin, then mix these different starches according to a certain ratio, add synthetic vitamins and other other substances, and then go through certain processes to form artificial

of food.

For example, by mixing amylopectin and amylose in a ratio of approximately one to three, and adding some water, enzymes, fats, and vitamins, you can prepare flour with a simple taste.

Ordinary flour made from rough mixing has a very bad taste and is very cheap.

Some artificial flours can taste as good as natural wheat flour, or even better in some aspects. The price of this kind of flour may even exceed that of natural flour.

Of course, the blending method can only determine the taste, and the efficiency of carbon fixation is the core that affects grain yield.

At present, in federal food production, the two biggest factors affecting the efficiency of carbon fixation are the utilization rate of carbon dioxide by the fixation medium and the degree of carbon dioxide enrichment in the region.

The reason why St. John City has become a grain-producing city is that the concentration of carbon dioxide near St. Jon City is relatively high. Due to the terrain and air flow, it can be quickly replenished after loss, and the carbon dioxide concentration can be maintained at a relatively high level throughout the year.

stable state.

At present, the main R&D investment of Nolanka Group's grain industry is in the enrichment and utilization of carbon dioxide, so Lina knows a lot about these two aspects.

Although the carbon dioxide enrichment equipment of QJET Group is different from mainstream equipment, its general shape is similar.

"Yes,"

Si Enji glanced at Lina. Lina could recognize the name of the machine at a glance, which proved that at least she was not a layman, and he could explain it more easily.

He turned the document to the next page and showed the diagram on that page,

"According to the food engineers at the KJIT factory, their machine's carbon dioxide enrichment efficiency is 200% of the federal's usual enrichment machines, and its carbon dioxide utilization rate is also higher than that of other large consortiums. Currently, their food output is

It is 167% of the grain output of normal equipment.”

"So, what's the price?"

Si Enji, who was silently looking through the information, suddenly asked.

He doesn't understand food production, nor does he understand enrichment and utilization, but he knows that many people work in the factories of the Kejit Group, and these machines with strange lines don't look very 'technical'.

In this world, any extraordinary power comes with a price.

"The internal information of QJT Group does not say what the price will be,"

Skate shook his head, "But we found some data like this in the factory's files,"

He continued to turn the document down, revealing a new page.

“The average age at which employees leave their jobs?”

Lina glanced at the content on that page and asked with some confusion.

"Or,"

Skate paused and said, "It's called the average age of employees."

Then he continued in the eyes of Si Enzi and Lina, "The average age of ordinary employees working on the front line of the Kejit Group is about forty-three years old, and after these employees leave, they basically leave within half a year.

He will die of illness."

Speaking of this, he had an unnatural look on his face, "In addition to these resigned employees, Kejit also has a large number of missing employees every year, and these cases will eventually be passed by the city government and the employees' families."

Private'."

This kind of large-scale disappearance case involving a cross-city consortium has actually touched the scope of the FBI's powers.

However, the FBI in St. Jon City was basically ignored by the Kjet Group, and the FBI did not even have any news about such missing persons.

And Skate could guess that the so-called 'private' method would not be very 'glorious', as there were also a large number of underground gangs in St. John's City.

"Missing······"

Si Enji slowly closed the information in his hand, his face as dark as water, "The information Nighthawk once left said that the pollution monster was actually a mutation of a 'human being'."

The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became a little dull.

The twilight outside the window shines on everyone's cheeks.

"Speaking of which, are you investigating so quickly?"

Finally, it was Lina in the corner who broke the silence. She looked at Skate, "It stands to reason that these information should be hidden deep in the ground. You found it in one day?"

"Actually, in a sense, we didn't find this out. We got some kind of 'hint'."

Skate sighed and sat on the chair. He turned his hand over and a playing card appeared in his palm. He slowly placed it on the table. "This is the main console of the factory where we found this information."

Found it in a crack."

Lina and Si Enji looked at the playing card at the same time.

It was a plastic playing card that was very common in the Federation. The face of the card was,

King of hearts

At this moment, Lina's bracelet vibrated. She glanced down, then looked up at the other two people, "There is news from Chenxi City. Maybe we can take a look."

——

Chenxi City

The bright sunshine calms the earth.

The streets are full of people coming and going.

Many people looked down at their bracelets and discussed various topics that were on the federal hot list.

"Did you hear what happened last night?"

"That sacrifice last night in St. John's?"

"Yes, yes, it is said that the mercenary group of the consortium was involved in last night's incident. There were killings everywhere. I have a friend in St. John City. He said that the whole sky was filled with lightning last night, and it was flashing.

."

"So scary?"

"Yes, let me tell you..."

······

There were soft discussions in the corners of the street, people going to and from get off work hurriedly, and the huge advertising screen standing on the high-rise building was still playing gorgeous advertisements.
