The smell of monster feces was much stronger than that of ordinary beasts.
No matter how harmless the treatment was, it still had a smell.
Therefore, it had to be placed downwind.
Meng Chao was an insider and very familiar with the layout of this type of biochemical industrial park.
Soon, he found the intersection of dozens of sewage pipes. There was a glint from something silver, like the closed fermentation tank of a reactor.
Many monsters were sleeping.
It was not yet the peak period of excretion, and the public treatment center was running at a minimum.
There were only a few sleepy and lazy workers.
The place was for small- and medium-sized enterprises that raised less than five hundred to six hundred monsters.
It was not a heavily guarded military area.
Meng Chao easily avoided the staffâs attention.
From his empty office, he stole the inventory list of consumables from the past month, as well as the related data table.
This was because there had been a great explosion in the Red Radiance Jade vein around Raging Waves Mountain Range.
Until now, the spirit magnetic interference had been very strong.
Many instruments and equipment were easily interfered with, resulting in data loss and system paralysis.
Therefore, most of the data still required manual records and physical ledgers.
Meng Chao flipped through the two ledgers labeled âHorizon Biotechnology Co. Ltd.â from beginning to end, then closed his eyes and did some mental calculations.
When he opened his eyes again, a suspicious glint flashed in his eyes.
He muttered, âThe data in here doesnât seem to follow common sense.â
Ai lei asked, âSenior, did you notice anything unusual?â
âItâs just that thereâs nothing unusual. Thatâs why itâs So Strange.â
Meng Chao patted the warehouse receipt on his left hand first, âIn this ledger, it records the various biological additives and chemicals used in the past month to ferment and degrade the monster feces transported over from Horizon.
âI took a look and found that most of them were common goods such as bacillus, Acetobacter, protease, growth-promoting factor, and so on.
âJudging from the types and amounts used, these additives and chemicals can at most handle the feces of three to five hundred ordinary monsters, such as the halberd demon pig and the iron-armored rhinoceros.
âThe higher the level of the monster, the more psionic residues there are in the feces. Using these common goods wonât solve the problem at all.â
After pausing for a moment, Meng Chao opened the account book on his right.
âThis account book records the return points that the public processing center should give to Horizon. Because after the monstersâ feces are processed, they can become a very good fertilizer. Therefore, not only does the public processing center not have to collect processing fees from the farmers, but it can help the farmers find a market. After the farmers sell on behalf of the farmers, they can use the sales to deduct the processing fees, the farmersâ rent, and the management fees for operating in the park.â
Meng Chao pointed at the figures for the past three months and explained to Ai lei, âJudging from the flow of water in the past few months, the selling price of the monster feces at Horizon isnât too high. If we extrapolate from this price, they would only be raising 300 to 500 normal monsters.
âIf they werenât raising the sword-halberd demonic boar but the tyrant mammoth, or if they were raising more than 1,000 monsters, the monster feces wouldnât have been sold for such a small amount of money.â
Ai Lei agreed with Meng Chaoâs point of view.
But she still did not understand. âSo, is there a problem? What if Horizon is really a small and medium-sized enterprise that is operating legally, and it really only raises three to five hundred halberd demon pigs
âIf Horizon is really relying on these three to five hundred halberd demon pigs to make a living, then thereâs no need to set up the breeding base in the depths of Raging Waves Mountain.â
Meng Chao analyzed calmly, âThe artificial breeding technology of the sword-halberd demon pigs is already very mature. In the market, the price of pre-processed pork is almost cheaper than that of chicken breast. Thereâs not much profit at all.
âMoreover, the omnivorous monsters with thick skin and meat are very adaptable to the environment. They can set up a large-scale breeding farm with tens of thousands of animals in a place where transportation is convenient and birds donât shit.
âIn fact, because the technical threshold is very low, the related farming industry has long been slaughtered into a red sea for the common beasts that can be raised easily and produce a lot of meat like the halberd demon pig and the iron-armored rhinoceros.
âThose who can survive in the highly competitive Red Sea are all super-large enterprises that can raise tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of animals.
âAfter all, Wild Waves Mountain is a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy. Setting up a breeding base here would be very expensive just to buy or rent the land.
âHorizon is located deep inside wild waves mountain. The rent might be a little cheaper, but no matter how cheap it is, it is still as cheap as a deserted area. Moreover, the cost of building and maintaining the highway and setting up such a tight defense system has been raised by a lot.
âMay I ask, in such a place, what is the core competitiveness of raising only three to five hundred sword-halberd demon pigs? Can they be compared with the powerful large-scale breeding enterprises?
âBy the way, speaking of the impregnable defense system â if we are only raising sword-halberd demon pigs and iron-armored rhinos, there is no need to pull up so many high-voltage power grids and set up so many machine gun turrets.
âEven if these pigs, dogs, cows, and sheep run out, perhaps the cleaning lady in the park will wave her broom and chase them back. Is there a need to surround the breeding base so tightly that itâs impenetrable?â
Ai Lei suddenly came to a realization.
She thought for a moment and then said.., âThen, is it possible that Horizon is researching some kind of high-tech technology, such as making the demon pig taste more fresh and tender, or making the demon pigâs flesh have the quality of the flesh of a tyrant mammoth, and so on?
âIf itâs such an experimental project, it doesnât seem like thereâs a need to raise too many monsters.
âOr perhaps, Horizon is a shell company with a big appetite. On the surface, it has a decent breeding base, but in reality, itâs just to cheat the investors of their money. In that case, it doesnât matter what kind of monsters it raises. Of course, the cheaper and easier it is to raise the monsters, the better
âFirst, if we are developing more advanced breeding technology, Horizonâs location is too bad.â
Meng Chao said, âThe more spiritual energy is concentrated in a place, the easier it is to stimulate the cell division and genetic mutation of the monster to produce a new subtype of the monster.
âLook, this is the layout of the biochemical industrial park that I just got from the Office of the public processing center.
âThese are all serious, small-scale start-ups that are researching high-end technologies. They are all gritting their teeth and building their breeding base in the center of the industrial park, the place closest to the Honghui jade vein where the spiritual energy is densest.
âEven if Horizon doesnât have that much money and canât afford to buy or rent the Fengshui land in the center of the park, they wouldnât have gone to such a remote corner.
âIf the money chain is really that tight, they shouldnât have set up such a waste of money project in the first place.
âSecondly, if theyâre selling dog meat just to cheat the investors of their money, whatâs the most important thing? Of course, itâs publicity!
âLook at other shell companies. which one of them doesnât have to boast in the major media and boast to the Sky?
âTheir registered capital is only three to five million, yet they dare to say that they can beat the universe with their fists and kick the sky with their feet.
âThere are only two to three one-star transcendents in the company. Theyâve only bought a few battle videos of godly state experts, and theyâre even pirated. Yet, they dare to say that theyâve received the careful guidance of godly state experts.
âThey can even raise the halberd demon pig to death, yet they dare to say that theyâre about to overcome the technical problem of artificially cultivating the diamond nine-headed dragon.
âThere are even people who claim that they have solved the core technical problem of the âspace-time bridgeâfrom the Otherworld to Earth. Now, they are only short of hundreds of thousands of startup funds to open the space tunnel and return to Earth!
âOnly such audacious swindlers can cheat the investors of their money.
âBut look at Horizon. Since when did they do any publicity?
âThey are not even willing to do door-to-door interviews. They only came up with a press release the size of tofu. How can they cheat money if they keep such a low profile?â
Ai Lei often dealt with shell companies.
She was very familiar with the style of these scammers.
After Meng Chaoâs advice, she indeed felt that Horizon Biotechâs business strategy was completely illogical.
âAll the possibilities have been eliminated. Thereâs only one answer.â
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and said, âHorizonâs legitimate business on the surface doesnât make money, and it doesnât need to make money at all, because itâs just a cover.
âI guess that there must be an even larger underground space under Horizonâs breeding base, where some secret projects that can earn high profits are being run.
âBut to get to the bottom of this secret project, I have to do aerial reconnaissance.â
Meng Chao explained to Ai Lei that Horizon Biotechâs secret project must be big.
Otherwise, there is no need to go to the mountains and forests to build a secret base, in the Dragon City to find a random biochemical laboratory can do.
And large-scale R & D projects, no matter which field they involve, must consume a lot of psionic energy, and discharge a lot of wastewater, waste gas, produce crystal ore slag and monster feces, and so on.
Since Horizon had been so secretive, it was impossible for them to do so.
It was impossible for them to build a pipeline of spiritual energy openly through the regular channels.
It was also impossible for them to release real waste to the public treatment center.
In that case, they must have their own crystal reactor and a secret sewage pipeline.
However, no matter how secretive they were, as long as their waste entered nature, even a gram of crystal slag would have an impact on the environment.
However, many changes would be hard to notice from the ground, since they did not know the real face of the mountain.
Even if they did, it would be difficult to connect them to Horizon.
Only when he looked down from the sky did Meng Chao have absolute confidence that he could catch Horizon by its tail in the shortest time possible!
