Chapter 608: Stealing Electricity 4 (Part 2)

Whether the efficiency of energy acquisition is high or not can be compared to oil.

The global daily oil production is calculated in terms of 10,000 barrels. The daily oil production in Saudi Arabia alone is about 10 million barrels. As of March 2022, the global oil production is about 100 million barrels a day, although it is now 1989. In recent years, the output has not reached such a high level for the time being, but it is certainly not a lot.

As I said before, the size of dark owls is similar to that of real owls. About 100,000 owls sound like a lot, but if they are pinched together, they may not be able to produce less than one minute of global oil production per day, so How can the efficiency work?

As a result, Schiller began to organize everyone to further improve production efficiency. The main solutions are those on the one hand to reduce time costs and on the other hand to automate the whole process.

In terms of time cost reduction, because it is really difficult for these children to concentrate for a long time, and if they are unwilling to sing and fool their pronunciation, there is no way to attract owls.

Moreover, it is also difficult to guarantee that all these children will go to work on time. Sometimes there will be family affairs, and sometimes someone will get sick. The essence of doing this is actually to protect the children, so it is not possible to put the cart before the horse and exploit them. In this case, the time The cost is incompressible.

The use of human employees has such a disadvantage, so everything falls back to the development of mechanization. If a human can be replaced by a machine, as long as there is enough energy, he can work all the time, and there is no problem of absenteeism or bad state.

In this regard, Constantine was almost driven mad by Schiller when he said: "You want to make the robot use magic??? Do you listen to this nonsense?!"

"They don't even have a soul! Even if they can produce that syllable with a recording device, it's impossible to attract an owl!"

"That's why you are needed," Schiller said, looking Constantine in the eyes. "You're going to figure out how to make something that doesn't get tired, and let them lie to owls."

Hal looked at Constantine with some sympathy, he had never seen Constantine so embarrassed and haggard.

Usually, Konstantin's scum is slag, and he still takes care of his image, otherwise he can't be idle everywhere. In the past, he always looked like a British yuppie, and when he was serious, he had a unique charm that made people feel Unconsciously attracted to him.

Although he occasionally looks crazy and decadent because of overdose, it fills him with a punk aesthetic, and there are still people who eat this set.

But now, Constantine can no longer be said to be a punk, and the distance between him and Robinson is only a self-made spear.

Among the plans proposed by Schiller, Constantine was the most tiring, because he had to arrange all the hundreds of grids around the entire school room in a magic circle. He had not slept his eyes for more than a week.

If it wasn't for Schiller agreeing to give him 10% of the energy, he wouldn't do this kind of work, and now, even if Schiller promised to give him 10% of the energy, he doesn't want to do this work.

Constantine scolded: "You **** capitalist, vampire! Give me a little favor, and want me to work for you like this..."

Schiller stretched out another finger, waved it in front of him, and said, "Add another 10%, you can have 20% alone, and Hal and I can only share 10%, and Bruce doesn't even have 10%. "

Constantine was really going crazy. He felt that a demon called greed had come to him again. He could almost see the black flame behind Schiller, making him crazier than any demon.

He gritted his teeth and said, "You forced me, it seems I have to talk to my old friend."

After that, Constantine left. Schiller didn't know who the old friend he was referring to was exactly, but he knew that there might be some demons that would be bad luck.

Two days later, the more haggard Constantine returned with a small voodoo doll, saying: "I contacted all the friends I could and finally found a way. "

He put the voodoo doll in his hand, put it in front of several people, and said, "This is a sorcery from Africa, which is a bit similar to the magic used by ghost mothers. It is aimed at children."

"In African tribes, they put the soul of a dead child into a special voodoo doll, and a special devil will feel this soul, and then send power into the voodoo doll and exchange for the soul, tribe. Priests of the priests can use this energy to cast spells."

"But where are we going to get children's souls?" Hal asked. "Don't tell me, you want to..."

"I never thought about it, I'm a good man," Constantine said with a sigh.

Bruce glanced at him and seemed a little surprised, but Constantine was telling the truth. Whether it was an argument or an opinion, Constantine was actually a good person. In principle, he was as unshakable as Batman. .

"I contacted the devil who would respond to this kind of spell, and he told me that human sacrifices are really very cunning. With the development of modern medicine, there are fewer and fewer babies dying, but the priests still want to continue using spells. They came up with a different way."

"It may be possible to kill innocent children, but the efficiency is too low, they choose to deceive the devil, use a special ritual to forge the children's souls, and after attracting the devil over, trap them there, so that they can use the devil's strength."

When Konstantin said this, he didn't think there was anything special at all, but Hal looked at Schiller, Schiller looked at him and said, "What are you looking at me for? This can only show that human beings are like this. , I'm not special either."

Constantine nodded in agreement. He said, "If I were to say that what humans are best at is to be deceived, we have many tricks in this aspect of deception, and even a cunning devil will occasionally be fooled."

"However, their deception has been eliminated, because the devil has been fooled once, and will not be fooled again. At most, it is only a loss of power. Therefore, now they have developed many other versions, but we are of no use."

"I found someone to contact the priest who would use this version of the deception. He told me how to forge a child's soul. The other materials needed were relatively simple, but the only thing that was a little difficult was the need for breast milk."

"This is easy to handle." Schiller looked at Bruce and said, "The Wayne Group should be able to solicit breast milk from society for a fee in the name of medical experiments. As long as the price is high enough, it should be able to collect it soon."

"There's one more question..." Schiller looked at Constantine again and said, "Can a faked child's soul sing?"

"Of course not, it's just a bait, so I have to use another kind of magic to control this voodoo doll to sing."

"Do you need to control them all the time? What if you're tired?" Schiller asked another question, and Constantine took a deep breath and said, "I don't need to control them all the time, but you're really kind of Greed is too much, you don't even want me to rest for a while..."

Schiller turned his head away from him, and said, "No one can rest on an extremely efficient production line, including me."

Several people shook their heads one after another, obviously a little unable to stand him. Even Bruce, who likes to pursue efficiency, thinks this is a bit too extreme.

But fortunately, it was not them that Schiller exploited, and in the end, it was still the owl who suffered the worst.

After a few more days of preparation, Constantine started making raw materials with all his strength. In order to prevent Constantine from dying from exhaustion, Schiller also asked Hal to treat him with green light energy on the side.

As soon as Constantine was tired, Hal would give him a healing spell, and that's it. He was full of energy again, and under such inhumane exploitation, Constantine made thousands of voodoo dolls in a few days.

Then, he started casting puppet-manipulation spells on each of the dolls, the same ones he used to control ghosts, and when done, he could make the voodoo dolls sing by themselves.

Then, after placing these dolls in the center of those formations and starting the same process again, the efficiency doubled several times, but Schiller was still not satisfied.

The point of his dissatisfaction is that every time he needs to manually clean the magic circle, and then go to infuse the Ark reactor with energy. Although he is not tired or afraid of being bored, it still wastes time. In other words, time It is money, and no waste is allowed under the extremely efficient production mode.

So, he forced Constantine to start a technical reform, let him establish a line for automatic energy transmission between several arrays, and then connect the line to the Ark reactor, so that the dark energy of the owl can be fully extracted. 's plan.

Constantine was really unlucky. He tried to run several times, and he didn't even want the sunk costs, but he was still caught by Schiller.

In the end, he also broke the jar, and began to immerse himself in researching how to make the energy paths between the various circles.

As we all know, optimizing the route is the biggest difficulty in the automation game. Constantine was stuck on it for more than a week, but in the end, Constantine, who was stimulated to his full potential, still came up with the most efficient version.

Finally, this huge device that automatically extracts the energy of the dark owl was completed. When the entire assembly line was running, the efficiency reached the highest level. Even one storage module of the Ark reactor was not enough. Bruce added a few more temporarily. .

From the perspective of the spiritual world, the entire living **** has become a huge oil rig, with countless magic circles connecting the dots to form a red sphere, and countless dark owls rushing towards the flames like moths. There, all of it was finally annihilated in the light of the magic circle, and the extracted energy pulsed into the ark reactor along the energy channel like blood vessels and was stored.

Until one day, all the owls disappeared, and Schiller, who was standing in the monitoring room, turned back and said to everyone: "...It seems that this plan is over."

"No surprises," Bruce concluded, saying: "Even if the rules were automatic, with the efficiency with which the device draws energy, they would react very quickly."

"I'm more inclined, they are out of power." Hal thoughtfully said: "If they could find out, they should have discovered it as early as when we completed automation. After all, all of a sudden so much energy is drawn, if anyone really sees it If it hits, it will definitely brake hard."

"As early as when I devoured energy for the first time, I knew that this kind of rule should be unsupervised." Schiller shook his head and said: "The reason why it stopped this time is that the energy was taken up by us. already."

The reason why Schiller dared to extract this dark energy so recklessly without worrying about Barbatos' attention here is because he found that this energy should not be Barbatos' original energy, but had undergone some special treatment.

That is to say, they are not picking up the wool of Barbatos in real time. The Dark Owl Priest has already finished picking up the wool for them, and has even woven the wool into a blanket. What they are stealing is actually the blanket in the inventory.

As for why Schiller feels that this kind of rule is unsupervised, it is not only because the dark owl did not respond when Elsa and the others devoured energy before, but also because, according to the historical records of Gotham, the age of the owl nursery rhyme has passed. For a long time.

In modern history, this song is no longer popular, and no children can sing it, which means that this set of rules has been abolished for a long time.

And being woken up again, it will still take effect, probably because the battery thrown here still has some residual power, and Schiller's purpose is to drain this residual power as soon as possible.

Some people may think that since the batteries have been discarded, why not steal electricity at any time? However, this is about Schiller's previous arrangement at the Met.

He has long known that there are owls in the metropolis, so he deliberately gave the medal to Pikachu, and then borrowed Clark to tell Lex about the illegal invasion of the agents, and then asked Lex to go to the CIA agent.

Schiller, who has experienced the incident at the Mayor's Mansion of the Metropolis, is of course very clear that after Benjamin's death, the CIA's resident head in the Metropolis was replaced by a female agent Kayla, and Kayla was a KGB or Alfred's. student.

After Kayla knew about this and got the medal, she would definitely notice that there were other mysterious forces in the Metropolis, and according to the KGB's way of doing things, after a month, the owls in the Metropolis would probably be out of luck. .

In a secret conference room under the sewers of the metropolis, a mysterious man in a black robe and a beak mask said, "Those madmen who don't believe in gods have already found their way here, although the great master of darkness has nowhere to go. No, but for the sake of his career, we need to stay away from the edge..."

"But where are we going?" asked another mysterious man in a black robe.

"In the beginning, we would leave Gotham just to develop the power of Metropolis, but now, we have several secret bases in Metropolis, and there are many members of the Owl Council who stay here... It's time to return to Gotham ."

"That's right." Another low and hoarse voice said: "When we left, we left the most precious dark statue there. Because of our departure, Gotham people have not recited our names for many years. Going back this time~www.readwn.com~ just happens to be able to reuse those quintessential energy..."

"Remember that spell?" a shrill female voice sang: "Muliz...Muliz..."

Suddenly, she paused and said, "What's the matter? Why didn't the statue respond to my call?...Come on...Owl...Come to me, and I will return to the promised land under your guidance. land……"

"Muliz...Muliz..." All the people in black robes began to chant.

However, no owls flew over, they gradually stopped singing, the room became silent, the leader waved the staff in his hand, the magic circle in the room was lit, everyone disappeared instantly, and then came to a man with The room with the giant owl statue.

This room is not only located underground in Gotham, but also protected by mysterious spells. It cannot be heard or seen. It can only be accessed by using a special teleportation array. This is a concealment method set up by the owl priests to protect their own efforts. .

As soon as the leader of the dark owl sacrifice landed, he was stunned, because the black owl, which was originally full of dark energy, has now turned gray. They have prayed to the dark master for many years and used the dark energy purified from their bodies. There's nothing left,

While they were going crazy, Schiller, Bruce, Hal, and Constantine, the four electricity thieves, stood in a row in the basement room.

Schiller took the first step forward and asked: "Recently, the energy of the dark owl sacrifice has been lost very much. Do you have any clues?"

Then, he looked up, looked at the dark energy storage modules that formed a hill, and said:

"...I don't have it anyway."
