"...Do you want to conquer them?" As soon as Huw Jones opened his mouth, Josie basically guessed what he wanted to do.
Vampires in this world do not have any hierarchy of titles, such as grand duke, earl, knight, etc. Most of them are just titles or disguised identities during their lifetime, which have nothing to do with their strength level.
There is not even a clear division of strength levels.
The only clear thing is that in most cases the older the vampire, the more powerful it is.
However, it is not impossible for blood vampires to have the chance to kill those ancestor-level vampires by relying on external force.
Therefore, as a new vampire, it is not delusional for Huw Jones to conquer other vampires in the United States, including some of the old ones.
Even if you have enough force, it is not impossible for you to get a top vampire ancestor like Dracula to work for you.
"Yes, I only learned after getting to know that the vampires have quite a lot of power in the United States, and they usually hide around us. This is a very good force, but you know, my strength is limited.
The armed forces are also limited, so I need your help to sell me a batch of those electromagnetic weapons. Of course, if you are willing to sell me the technology, that would be the best!" Huw Jones also admitted himself very simply.
the goal of.
"...I don't quite understand. Although ultraviolet rays are the best weapon to deal with vampires, artificial ultraviolet rays are not a particularly advanced technology. With the industrial capabilities of the Roxon Group, there should be no need to purchase electromagnetic weapons from me, right?" Qiao Xi said slightly.
He asked with a frown.
While in Europe, Josie and Huw Jones conducted experiments on some low-level vampires.
Among non-extraordinary substances, basically things like garlic essence and silver have a certain killing effect on vampires, but they only have a certain killing effect and are not guaranteed to kill.
For example, with silver weapons, you have to cut off or pierce the vampire's head or heart to achieve a one-hit kill effect.
Otherwise, if you just cut the vampires, it will only make these vampires injured, instead of being wiped out like in movies and TV shows.
The same goes for garlic. Pure garlic can only make vampires feel scared or injured. Only refined garlic essence can cause enough damage to vampires.
As for the holy water and the cross... Hahaha! Maybe there may be genuine ones, but at least Qiao Xi hasn't seen any useful ones yet.
Some other chemical toxic substances can also cause harm to vampires, but these substances are also more harmful to the users.
Therefore, after comprehensive testing, for vampires, at least for regular vampires, ultraviolet light is the most effective in killing vampires.
Ultraviolet rays could be produced artificially as early as the beginning of the 20th century. It was not a high-tech technology in this era. If the Roxon Group could not produce it, Qiao Xi would not believe it.
"That's true, but those vampires are not primitive people. They can also use guns and bombs. As long as they find that my people are using ultraviolet devices, they will prioritize the devices as attack targets. Also, if there is no fixed
Without the power supply, my bunch of rubbish guys can't make a battery that can keep the high-power ultraviolet lamp running!" Huw Jones said with some helplessness.
Now Qiao Xi understood that in fact, the protective capabilities of ultraviolet devices and the like were all excuses.
Huw Jones is interested in the battery technology of the magnetic explosion infantry suit.
The energy used by the magnetic blast infantry armor cannot naturally be generated out of thin air, and it mainly relies on the extremely advanced battery technology on the armor.
Although this kind of battery technology is incomparable to the Ark Reactor, in terms of efficiency, even the battery technology of the 21st century in Qiaoxi's previous life cannot be compared. In this era, it is a black technology.
More importantly, the battery of the magnetic explosive infantry armor is also equipped with the unique regenerative feedback current circle technology of the Red Alert World Bear.
Anyone who has played Red Alert knows that the power plant of the Bear camp is something called a magnetic energy reactor.
But to be precise, the magnetic energy reactor is not a generator in the traditional sense, but a secondary generator.
What does it mean? It is that this thing itself is actually just a large battery. The key point is that a device called a regenerative feedback current loop is installed on it.
When the reactor is discharging, this device will rely on the voltage generated during the discharge to generate a new current.
To put it bluntly, it means that electricity can be used to generate electricity.
It's just that the newly generated current will be greatly attenuated compared to the original current.
So this is not a perpetual motion machine, it does not violate the law of conservation of energy, and the power generated is far inferior to that of a normal turbine generator.
The only advantage is that it increases the utilization rate of electric energy by 30-40%, greatly reducing the cost of electricity, and at the same time, it also increases the battery life by 30-40%.
Well, this one advantage alone is actually awesome.
Energy is a hugely profitable industry, which is equivalent to 30-40% more profits out of thin air.
"It turns out that they are interested in my battery technology! My friend, you Roxon are also involved in energy. I don't think you are aware of the huge benefits involved!" Qiao Xi said with a smile.
Whether it is battery technology or this regenerative feedback current coil technology, any of them is enough to change the pattern of the world's energy industry. Is it what you, the Roxon Group, say you can eat?
"Of course I understand, but the development of new technology also requires a huge cost investment, and there will be various obstacles during the process, right? But if you have a partner who is already strong enough, the situation will not be the same.
It’s the same." Huw Jones also said with a confident smile.
"Haha... Do you think you've got me?" Josie couldn't help but sneer after hearing this. Of course, the problems Huw Jones mentioned do exist, but will Josie care about this now?
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong. I'm not threatening you, but I think the conditions I offer will definitely satisfy you!" Hugh Jones shook his head slightly when he saw this.
"Oh? Tell me?" Hearing Huw Jones say this, Josie couldn't help but feel a little interested.
"15% of the shares of Roxon Energy Group!" Huw Jones offered the price.
Good guy, Josie was really shocked now, this increase was indeed beyond his imagination.
Regardless of the price offered by Huw Jones, it is only the shares of Roxon Energy Group, not the shares of Roxon Group - although the only difference is the word energy, the value is very different.
After all, Roxon Energy is only part of the Roxon Group.
Although Roxon Energy Group does not represent all of Roxon Group, it is also the most elite part of it.
It includes all the upstream and downstream industrial chains of the Roxon Group's petroleum, coal mines, gas stations, power plants, etc., and these industries of Roxon Energy account for 40% of the total related industries in the United States.
And 15% of the shares is definitely not a small number.
After all, the energy industry is not an ordinary industry, and there are not many joints that need to be opened up, even if this is the United States, which is known as free business.
Even if Qiao Xi builds a new energy company by himself, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would retain more than 50% of the equity using normal business methods. As for 100% control? Stop making trouble. Then maybe he can directly launch an army to conquer the entire United States.
A little easier.
Therefore, even if Qiao Xi's battery technology is advanced enough, he will definitely not lose money in exchange for 15% of the shares of Roxon Group.
After all, it is just battery technology, not resources or power generation technology.
Of course, there is also a very important point here. Josie seems to be very rich now, but in fact he does not have much money and energy to invest in the energy industry.
However, if regenerative feedback current coil technology is added, 15% will be a lot less interesting.
"Not enough!" So Josie shook her head.
"Josie, you can't be too greedy!" Seeing Josie's refusal, Huw Jones couldn't help but frowned.
"No, it's not that I'm greedy, but there is another technology here." So Qiao Xi brought up the regenerative feedback current coil technology.
"So that's it, the 15% shares are indeed a little less." Huw Jones was stunned when he heard this, and then quickly made a decision, "In that case, let's take 30%!"
"It's a very fair price, and I can't find any reason to refuse it, but if I remember correctly, you only own less than 30% of the shares of Roxon Energy, right?" Qiao Xi nodded and then said.
Although Hugh Jones is one of the founding family members of the Roxon Group, he is also the current helmsman.
But as mentioned before, it is almost impossible for a country's lifeline industry, energy, to be completely monopolized by a single family or individual, unless the family or individual itself is the ruler of that country.
Therefore, the entire Jones family's shareholding in Rosen Energy does not reach 50%, and Hugh Jones's personal shareholding is even less.
"That's right, I can't come up with it myself, but I can convince other shareholders to share some shares together and give you 30%!" Huw Jones said very confidently.
"Then there will be no problem, happy cooperation!" A smile appeared on Josie's face, and he immediately stretched out his hand and held it with Huw Jones's cold hand, announcing that the deal was concluded.
…
After sending Hugh Jones away, there was finally no third visitor.
After looking at the sky, it was almost evening, so Josie was going to Brooklyn to see another old friend.
