"Success!! I completed it!!"
Dr. Yi looked at the messy modification blueprints on the desktop. Both hands that were frozen red began to tremble. He ecstatically picked up all the modification blueprints. Underneath the messy hair was a pair of bloodshot eyes.
He took a glance at the time on the corner of the desk.
"Thirteen minutes and forty-five seconds... I did it!!"
He laughed heartily, hugging all the modification blueprints and then charged towards Tan Xin's office. He completely disregarded the other Law Enforcers hurriedly walking in the corridor, pushing and bumping to charge past the crowd, like a madman wearing a White Coat Wearer.
"Get out of the way! Everyone get out of my f*cking way!!"
"Motherfcker!! Do none of you have eyes? Everyone get out of my fcking way!"
"I'm going to save humanity! I've waited for so many years! Finally waited until this day... everyone get out of my f*cking way!!"
Bang——!
Inside the office, Tan Xin was currently sitting there with a solemn complexion. Opposite him was also a person standing, exactly the Han Meng that Dr. Yi had just seen not long ago.
Han Meng seeing Dr. Yi make an appearance in this kind of manner, slightly blanked out, doubt emerging in his eyes.
But Dr. Yi fundamentally didn't even take a glance at him, charging straight before Tan Xin, slapping all the modification blueprints onto the desktop with a smack, panting heavily and speaking:
"The modification blueprints for all Pump models of the heating system at present are all here! No need to make any big changes, just need to take down the original electric motors, and install the steam-driven devices anew and it will be fine!"
Tan Xin looked at the table full of modification blueprints, just about to open his mouth to say something, Dr. Yi immediately followed up saying:
"I know what you are going to say! Time! We don't have time to manufacture so many small-scale steam-driven devices on site, so my plan is replacing them with the small-scale steam-driven devices inside the automobile factories! No need for production! Only need to take those things down from the factories, and then install them onto the pumps! The only thing needed is an adapted power conversion device... I have already designed it out, the processing is extremely simple, with the Aurora City's industrial speed, at most it only needs three hours to completely finish making it!
I have calculated it! Water pumps driven by this kind of device, the power will not be much worse than the original electric drive! At least covering ninety percent of the Aurora City's areas is enough! This is merely an emergency plan, wait until this Cold Disaster passes, I can make improvements again, to let its pressure be enough to cover the entire Aurora City!"
After saying the last sentence, Dr. Yi's both hands forcefully slapped heavily onto the table full of modification blueprints anew, emitting a "thump" sound.
He took a deep breath,
"Fifteen minutes... I do what I f*cking say!"
The office plunged into a patch of dead silence.
Tan Xin looked at Dr. Yi whose eyes were full of red. A touch of guilt emerged in his eyes. He was silent for a long time, still speaking:
"Dr. Yi... this plan, is already useless."
Dr. Yi blanked out. "...Why is it useless? Is... is it that someone has already designed it out in advance? Then have you guys already begun processing?? Or could it be, all the pumps have recovered? No need to modify?"
"No." Tan Xin shook his head. "Dr. Yi... right now the outside temperature, is negative forty-one degrees. Under the circumstance of no pumps driving, the water that wasn't sufficiently circulated has already entirely frozen into ice.
As early as eight minutes ago, the majority of the heating pipes, had already been frozen cracked, unable to be used..."
Dr. Yi's pupils slightly shrank. He stood there blankly staring, still maintaining the posture of slapping the table just now, hoarsely speaking,
"You are saying..."
"Even if all the pumps were restored to use anew, the heating also couldn't be restored..." Tan Xin opened his mouth comforting him. "Regardless of what, thank you for the contributions you've made for the Aurora City."
Dr. Yi's breathing instantly became heavy. He clearly didn't drink alcohol, yet he was like he was drunk, his face and neck both flushing red, stumbling backwards.
"...Contributions?" Dr. Yi smiled miserably. "Contributions? What contributions did I make... In the Aurora Base is fine, coming here is also fine... I didn't accomplish anything... I still fcking couldn't change anything! Fck!!!"
Dr. Yi was like a wild beast forced into a desperate situation, furiously roaring. What he roared at wasn't the Tan Xin or Han Meng before his eyes, but his own powerless self before despair.
He turned his head directly charging outside the office, heavily slamming the door shut, not knowing where he headed.
Tan Xin seeing this, let out a long sigh.
At the same time, another figure pushed the door and entered.
"Teacher, changes have occurred to the matter." Chu Shiduo hurriedly walked in.
"Which aspect?"
"Coal!" Chu Shiduo's complexion was incomparably solemn.
"Coal?" Tan Xin's brows slightly frowned. "Didn't we already calculate it just now? With the Coal reserves inside the Aurora City at present, even if distributing it to the commoners, it is also enough to continuously supply for ten days... Haven't you ordered to open the supply yet?"
"Opened!" Chu Shiduo gritted his teeth saying, "But when we opened the supply, there wasn't the slightest bit of commotion from over at the Three Great Merchant Associations, not a single piece of Coal was sold outside, so the people of the entire city all came to us frantically fighting over it... Although we indeed have Coal reserves, normally they are all for internal supply, the reserves are not much, in over an hour it was completely grabbed empty.
After our Coal was finished distributing, the Stars Chamber of Commerce united with the two major Chambers of Commerce Silver Moon and Cold Spring, and began to raise prices on the spot. They speculated the price of Coal up to five hundred thousand times. Now one kilogram of Coal, then requires five hundred thousand Copper Coins!"
Hearing this, Tan Xin's gaze instantly turned cold, a burst of killing intent pouring out from his body!
"Five hundred thousand Copper Coins??" Han Meng's brows tightly frowned. "Did they go crazy from wanting to earn money?? This fundamentally is exactly relying on monopolizing Coal, making a fortune from human lives!"
"They speculated the price so high, didn't you send people to put a stop to it?" Tan Xin spoke with a cold voice.
"Have already sent two waves of people to negotiate with them, but there wasn't any commotion... I even sent over a Sixth Stage powerhouse, but not knowing what benefits they gave, up until now they are still safely and soundly selling Coal at the price of five hundred thousand for one kilogram.
I was just preparing to report to you a bit, and then personally make a trip."
Tan Xin sat behind the office desk, his eyes becoming increasingly icy cold, he laughed coldly:
"What a fine Stars Chamber of Commerce, on account of their previous financial aid, I still planned to let them have a Way Out to live... Now, they directly rode onto my face. Does he really think, I don't dare to kill him?"
"But Teacher, right now the majority of our manpower is all searching for the Lord of the Aurora... And beside that Yan Shang there are also several hired people from other Realms protecting him. Wanting to kill him, we have to temporarily mobilize people."
Before Chu Shiduo's voice fell, Han Meng at the side then silently walked towards outside the door.
Tan Xin seeing this, had already guessed Han Meng's intentions, but still asked: "Where are you going?"
Han Meng's black windbreaker piercingly fluttered in the cold wind. He pulled out the icy cold gun from his waist with one hand, faintly speaking:
"...Go kill a few beasts."
