[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully processed an energy polymer block for the first time. You have been rewarded with a 100-ton quota for this. Please keep up the good work!]
Chen Ming ignored the system’s reward and quickly picked up the black object and began to study it.
According to common sense, this thing should not have appeared from the processing equipment!
[Don’t worry! The system will automatically rationalize everything it produces. The public will be none the wiser.]
Even though Chen Ming heard this, he was still a little worried.
At this moment, Chen Zhao walked over. He had already finalized the terms of the acquisition.
“Is this the result of your new research?”
Chen Zhao took the black object and walked off to the side.
“You mentioned that you were studying energy crystals or something like that. Is this it?”
Then, Chen Zhao cut off a small piece of the black object and threw it into the testing machine.
Moments later, the small piece started burning, and the number on the testing machine started jumping up.
As Chen Zhao watched, shocked, the number finally settled on a terrifying figure.
“This is…”
Chen Zhao pointed at the black object with a trembling finger.
“It was such a small piece, less than 500 grams, yet it managed to produce such a large amount of energy?!”
The amount of energy generated from burning that small piece was equivalent to 10 kWH of electricity!
Then, what about this bigger piece?
Chen Ming was dumbfounded as he looked at his father’s reaction. He recalled the system’s words about rationalization..
This was really something else…
There was no need for him to explain anything at all…
However, this thing was really good!
It had to be known that there was a serious shortage of energy in the city, and electricity rationing was a common practice here.
Burning of this black object also produced a large amount of heat, which meant that it could also be used for heating and electricity.
Unbelievably, such a thing was a product of garbage processing!
Chen Ming’s eyes lit up.
“Dad, quickly look for the testing department! We can monopolize the energy market!”
They were the only ones with the technology and materials, so why should they not reap the profits?
Chen Zhao nodded.
“I’ll leave the plant’s operations to you. I’ll go now.”
Without waiting for Chen Ming to reply, Chen Zhao left quickly.
At that moment, a car slowly pulled up at the entrance of the plant.
“Oh my God!”
Someone’s complaining voice was heard. A woman walked in in her high heels.
“I’ve finally found you.”
“Qin Qing?”
Chen Ming raised his head in surprise.
“You’re back?”
Qin Qing was his highschool classmate. She looked carefree, but was very meticulous.
She had studied abroad for university, but they had never stopped contacting each other. They were very good friends!
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing rolled her eyes.
“I’m definitely back. Back to help you!”
“However, can you charge my car first? I still have to go out to eat later.”
Chen Ming looked left and right, and then asked in his mind, “System, is there a machine that can directly convert the energy blocks to power?”
He had the energy polymer block, but he could not convert them into power.
The system was silent for a moment. Then…
[Oh, there is. This is the reward from earlier. I almost forgot to give it to you.]
As it said that, a black box appeared under the table in front of Chen Ming. It was hidden in a blind spot so that no one could see it.
Chen Ming’s eyes lit up. He picked up the box and walked out.
He placed an energy polymer block into the input slot, and then connected the machine to the car.
“This is good stuff!”
Chen Ming turned on the machine as he spoke.
A few seconds later, the engine started emitting black smoke.
Qin Qing swallowed.
“This is good stuff?”
“Your good stuff just destroyed my new car!”
Chen Ming smiled awkwardly and walked over to check on the car.
After inspecting the car, the two of them sat on the steps and looked at each other.
“So, it…”
“It overloaded?”
The two of them looked at each other and then looked at the machine in front of them.
It could actually overload the car’s batteries. How terrifying was this thing?
Qin Qing then came back to her senses. She ignored her ruined car, and stood up and patted Chen Ming’s shoulder.
“This thing is pretty amazing!”
It usually took a long time to charge her car, but now it had been overloaded within a few seconds. Both the machine and its power source were amazing.
However…
How could they deal with its massive power output?
[Host, you forgot to adjust the power output option on the machine…]
The system reminded Chen Ming helplessly.
He glanced at the dial that had been set to maximum and fell silent. His carelessness had ruined a car.
Chen Ming looked at the ruined car briefly before inviting Qin Qing into his seven-seater van, before driving her back to his house.
At home, Chen Zhao smiled as he prepared a meal, and the three of them chowed down.
…
The next morning, in the office.
Chen Ming looked at the man in front of him, his face full of black lines.
“Boss Chen, I’m doing this for your own good.”
The man sat on the chair with a smile.
“You have the skills, and I have the supply. I’ll take a cut if you process it. It’s not a loss.”
Hearing this, Chen Ming sneered.
The man in front of him was also the owner of a garbage processing plant.
When the news about the energy polymer block was released yesterday, it dominated the headlines.
Today, this person had come calling in order to send over the garbage that his plant ‘could not handle’ to Chen Ming in order to take a commission.
He obviously wanted to make use of Chen Ming’s technology to earn easy money. That was wishful thinking.
Chen Ming sneered, “Boss Lin, I won’t say anything else.”
“My family has the technology, and we also don’t lack supply. There are only a few garbage processing plants in the city, and we’ve already bought one.”
“With this technology in hand, there will be no shortage of customers in the future. What can I gain from working with you?”
“Why don’t you go home, wash up, and take a nap? You seem to be daydreaming.”
After saying this, Chen Ming looked at the plant’s supervisor beside him.
“See our guest out.”
The supervisor smiled and nodded politely, and then escorted the man out.
At this moment, Qin Qing entered the door with a serious expression.
She closed the office door and whispered, “How many energy polymer blocks did you produce yesterday?”
Looking at Qin Qing’s expression, Chen Ming’s heart skipped a beat.
“About a hundred…”
He had used up his quota yesterday, and he could only produce one per ton of garbage.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing’s expression changed.
“We’ll send five pieces for inspection. Let’s experiment on one piece.”
“But I went to the warehouse just now. There’s only 90 blocks left.”
Chen Ming’s expression changed when he heard that.
The energy polymer blocks had been stolen!
There was a mole in the plant!
Chen Ming remained silent for a moment before he checked the surveillance footage on his computer.
In the surveillance footage, a figure in a white coat quietly entered the warehouse and left with a suitcase.
Looking at the figure, Chen Ming fell silent.
He knew this person.
“Isn’t this…”
Qin Qing’s face changed.
“Isn’t this from yesterday…
She was familiar with the people in the plant, but this person…
