Gerst walked out of his laboratory excitedly. One of his protégés had recently made a major discovery, a substance extracted from plants.
He took the samples and some messy reports, got into a car specially prepared for him, and came all the way to the palace in Chang'an.
The main part of the palace in Chang'an is still a construction site, and professional construction teams are laying complete pipelines underground for the entire palace.
The pipeline here can be driven directly and is very huge. The purpose is to pave the way for future improvements. The remaining underground works can be completely constructed within the pipeline.
Therefore, the whole project is very time-consuming. After all, it is definitely not an easy task to build a huge underground fortification with current technical means.
Naturally, Tang Mo would carefully build his own lair. He built an underground bunker that could withstand nuclear attacks, and also planned to build a doomsday subway that would allow him to quickly evacuate from his palace and take the train in half an hour. Driving 50 kilometers within the area and taking shelter in a more professional underground facility.
Of course, this system is not yet called an underground nuclear bunker, but is built in the name of an underground fortification. No one knows why a 10-meter-thick reinforced concrete fortification was built at the core of this system. It was even rumored that the emperor was building his own treasury.
Walking through the busy construction site, Gerst handed his ID to the guard at the guard post and passed the first security check.
Soon, he came to the second checkpoint, and the guard took out some documents and a small glass bottle from Gerst's document bag.
He looked at the powder inside, and then his expression darkened: "Dr. Gerst, I hope you know that you brought an unknown substance into the palace. This is a very dangerous thing."
Gerst could only explain to the lieutenant the medicine he was carrying: "Mr. Lieutenant, I came to meet His Majesty this time just to present this medicine to him. If you don't let me bring this medicine in, I will How can I show it to His Majesty?"
"Okay, I understand." The lieutenant walked to the guard box next to the checkpoint, grabbed the receiver of the phone, shook the handle, and said: "I am checkpoint 2, and Dr. Gerst hopes to bring a new type of drug. To meet His Majesty...Yes, yes, I understand."
"Please wait a moment." After hanging up the phone, the lieutenant walked back to Guest, stood at attention and saluted and said: "You need to wait here for a while, someone will take you in."
Soon, a major led four soldiers to the checkpoint, and then walked in surrounded by Dr. Gerst.
After passing the third checkpoint, Gerst finally saw Tang Mo at work in a room full of modern atmosphere.
Tang Mo saw his chemical consultant coming, put down the document in his hand, and asked: "Dr. Gerst, I'm glad you have made new progress. You said you discovered a substance that can make a lot of money. I'm very interested, tell me to listen and see what you find."
"Your Majesty! It wasn't me who discovered it, but one of my students. He specializes in plant extracts, and he discovered a very strange substance."
"Oh? Please tell me carefully." Tang Mo raised his hand to signal. Weiss, who was becoming more and more like a butler, immediately took out two glasses from the wine cabinet behind him and poured them into each glass. Half a cup of Bounas four years old.
This kind of wine is really becoming more and more expensive nowadays. Only Tang Mo can drink it as much as he wants.
Gerst was very excited because he felt that his student's discovery was simply too great: "In the jungles further south in the Chu Kingdom, there are some orc indigenous people, and they have a very beautiful flower."
He felt that Tang Mo would definitely like something like this, and would soon turn it into a new money-making project.
Tang Mo happened to take the cup from Weiss's hand and frowned slightly when he heard Guest say this. He is very sensitive, especially to this kind of thing.
"Poppy?" Tang Mo's eyes glanced sharply at Gust. Weiss also noticed that something was wrong with Tang Mo. When he handed the remaining wine glass to Gust, he deliberately looked at the chemistry doctor.
"The locals call it Yinju... I didn't expect that His Majesty, who is so well-informed, actually knows this flower." Guest praised excitedly, and then continued to introduce his student's great discovery: "My students heard about this flower. It is particularly famous locally and can extract a substance that can make people excited, happy, and forget pain!"
"Your Majesty, if your soldiers use this substance on the battlefield, they will be unafraid of death and become a hundred times more brave!" With a smile on his face, Gerst took out the substance from his briefcase as he spoke. The crystal powder purified from the bottle: "And as long as..."
"And as long as you use it a little, you can forget the pain, be inspired, and even feel like you are facing the gods, right?" Tang Mo played with the glass in his hand, but his eyes fell on the bottle of opiate extract.
"Your Majesty...you, you haven't studied this kind of thing, have you?" Hearing Tang Mo say this, Gust immediately stopped smiling.
He originally wanted to show merit to His Majesty for his students, but if what the students were studying took away from His Majesty's research progress, then things would be bad.
Everyone knows that His Majesty is also a research madman, or that he is the greatest researcher in the world. Gerst didn't find it strange at all that Tang Mo had studied similar projects.
In fact, Tang Mo also secretly worked on something similar in the laboratory. His secret force would also use this kind of thing to control some important people to achieve the purpose of controlling a certain country's intelligence or influencing a certain country's decision-making.
But Tang Mo hated this kind of thing from the bottom of his heart. He tried his best to control the development of this thing, and even concealed the fact that he had made some similar things.
As a result, someone else has come up with this kind of thing and put it in front of him full of irony.
"I have indeed studied this kind of thing..." Tang Mo acknowledged Gerst's speculation, and then continued: "Since your student has studied it, he must also know that this thing is addictive and can damage the human body. Organize it?"
"What?" Gust was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up: "This thing is poisonous? He, he said he..."
"He has already used it? Right?" Tang Mo stared at Gust: "That stupid young man has no idea of the dangers of this thing. Once used, this thing will become addictive, and it will make people... It’s so painful after withdrawal!”
"So, I will not allow this kind of thing to appear in the Tang Kingdom! Except for medical use, anyone involved with it will be killed without mercy." Tang Mo looked at Guest and said, "You understand what I mean. Do you mean Dr. Guest?"
"I, I understand." Cold sweat broke out on Gust's forehead. This was the first time he saw Tang Mo speak in such a gloomy tone when discussing technology.
When Tang Mo discussed chemical techniques with him before, he always felt like spring breeze, but this time, he heard a strong murderous intention in Tang Mo's words.
"Go and find Roger, Leo, You Lin... John... and Leif." Tang Mo looked at Weiss and said, "Have a meeting, I want to take care of this matter myself. Tell me."
Soon, these Tang Dynasty elders entered Tang Mo's conference room one after another. In the spacious and bright hall, a set of super huge chandeliers hung.
Leo and the bartender control Tang Mo's intelligence department. You Lin has another intelligence security system of Tang Mo's. The one who has been managing the police system is Dino, who always wants to join the army. These people gathered around the conference table and looked at each other. I don’t know why Tang Mo held the emergency meeting.
Soon, Gerst gave a speech at the meeting and introduced in detail the purified substance studied by his students.
"No matter what the reason, I cannot use this kind of drug! If I knew someone was secretly using this kind of thing, I would kill him personally." After talking about the disadvantages of this kind of thing, Tang Mo gave his attitude.
"It cannot be sold, it cannot be made, and as many as it is found must be destroyed! I don't care what other countries do. Within my territory, anyone who grows such plants, anyone who manufactures such drugs, anyone who touches the relevant interest chain, anyone who uses this Those who use such items...are destined to die! Kill without mercy!" Tang Mo glanced at the crowd and stressed every word.
"Yes!" Everyone stood up, and they finally understood why His Majesty the King came to them this time.
Fortunately, most of them didn't know this kind of thing existed, so they were all calm about it. This attitude also made Tang Mo feel relieved.
For a person whose soul traveled from Earth, Tang Mo's aversion and hatred towards such things can be said to be innate.
He has had zero tolerance for this kind of thing since 1840. It is the memory of being burned by the flames, the suffocation of being choked by a hemp rope, and the shame and unbearable feeling of a nation after it stood up in the sea of suffering.
"Investigate the whole country! Any plants that grow such plants will be destroyed. Anyone who tries to bring such plants into the Tang Dynasty will be punished with death!" Tang Mo stood up and glanced at Leo. Li Ao understood and gave Tang Mo a reassuring look.
Tang Mo is not a good person. He has never felt sorry for his evil and cruelty. Some things are done and he doesn't regret them.
And ten or even fifteen years later, everyone present today will understand how great and sacred Tang Mo's meeting today is.
