Chapter 1916 Trivia Before the Holiday

July 5, Thursday, before evening, Miyamoto's house.

The international edition of the Evening News carried news about Zimbabwe's inflation, which was getting worse due to the ongoing economic and political turmoil. The country's workers' congress had decided to raise wages by 10,000 percent.

At present, the country's currency is 300,000 for one US dollar.

The country's currency has been inflated by more than 66,212 percent so far, and it is expected to reach 79,600,000,000 percent by the end of next year.

A piece of bread is worth 10 billion.

There may be 100,000,000,000,000 banknotes in the future. ...

July 6, Friday, afternoon, Miko Miyamoto's office.

Miko Miyamoto and Nobumi Oda chatted via video, aiming at a sudden increase in the number of people entering the Katanga region of Zayer from Zimbabwe through Zambia, and it seems that more and more people.

Oda Nobumi said: "There is no shortage of food, drinking water can also be maintained, there are not many language barriers, and management is convenient, but there is a lack of medical supplies."

Miyamoto Miko said: "Understood, the cargo in the next fleet will be adjusted. If you can't wait, let the Dream transport plane run a few times first."

Oda Nobumi said: "Okay, I will contact Uncle Feng when necessary."

Miyamoto Miko asked: "How is the little president, is he stable recently?"

"How should I put it?" Oda Nobumi said, "Running around under the banner of diplomacy, the purpose is to sell arms for profit."

"And he doesn't seem to be interested in army building anymore. Except for routine expenses, the money is squandered. He bought real estate in other countries, raised a lot of beautiful women, supported them to buy luxury goods, and even used his intelligence His girlfriend also left in anger."

"I think it's true about that, because they don't need to play on it."

Miyamoto Miko said with emotion: "It's starting to follow his father's path again."

Oda Nobumi said: "Although his army is relatively well-equipped now, the morale of the army is even more slack because of money."

"There is a good saying in "The Analects of Confucius", don't worry about scarcity but unevenness, that's about it."

Miko Miyamoto said: "Don't worry about his army. Zayer's army is governed by the law. You don't want to interfere."

Oda Nobumi said: "I understand that asking the army for help is all through official deployment."

Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "Well, that's it, just say what's missing."

Oda Nobumi smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you."...

July 8, Sunday, afternoon, Miyamoto's house.

Belinda called and asked for a satellite connection for video, Miyamoto Miko had to give up the TV series and switch channels.

Miko Miyamoto said: "I know, the Airbus A350's rival, Sonic's Dreamland 787, debuted first. If you want to sell something, just say it. I'm watching a TV series."

Belinda said: "In terms of aircraft, my turbofan engine is not enough in terms of fuel efficiency and noise reduction. It is still in the experiment. Now it is mainly to change the propfan aircraft on the old model. It is below the level of large regional aircraft competing for fuel economy. Cost-effective maintenance."

"Actually, it's not a competition. I can't even handle Olivia's plane."

"Don't talk about this, I'm just announcing that the algae biofuel engine can basically be confirmed."

"The non-toxic algae are selected, and the algae that are stressful to the environment will not be given to you."

"In terms of cost, if the scale is small, it is better not to do it. The larger the scale, the lower the cost. But with Olivia, the scale is enough."

Miko Miyamoto said: "You produce the engine, and I'll just buy it. For the production of algae biofuel, you just need to authorize it. Send a copy to Xinmi. Her biofuel is just used to generate electricity for the power plant."

"Okay," said Belinda, "but,

I think it is better to use algae biofuel aero-engines for cargo for the time being, and it does not matter for ship engines and generators. "

Miko Miyamoto smiled and said, "You don't need to say that."

Belinda said: "In addition, you already have an algae biofuel car engine, but you haven't registered it in the United States. If you export your car, you can use mine first."

Miko Miyamoto said: "No, I didn't think about exporting biofuel vehicles to places other than Zayer. Let Olivia and Anne grab the territory."

Belinda waved her hand and said, "Okay, then I won't bother you watching TV, bye."

"Goodbye." Miyamoto Miko waved. ...

Monday, July 16, morning, Miko Miyamoto's office.

At around 10:20, Akihime knocked on the door with a bad face and came in, asking Miko Miyamoto to watch the news on her laptop. At 10:13, an earthquake occurred in Chuetsu, Niigata Prefecture, with a magnitude of 6.8.

Miko Miyamoto asked, "Have we lost?"

Ji Ji said: "The epicenter was in Nagaoka City. We built a vertical farm there under the banner of experimentation. The farm was fine, but some people were injured, fell down and called a helicopter."

"Based on reports from helicopters, the damage from this quake appears to have been substantial."

"It's not about us, we don't know our situation yet."

"It means that in the entire earthquake-stricken area, from the sky, many buildings and roads have collapsed."

Miyamoto Miko rubbed her head, "Let Shifeng Security Guard arrange a few more helicopters to pick up the wounded, and bring supplies by the way. Remember to bring more temporary toilets. You can arrange the rest."

Ji Ji said: "Okay."...

About ten minutes later, Ji Ji came again. At around 10:25, the transformer of No. 3 unit of the Kashiwazaki Kariwa Atomic Power Plant suddenly caught fire. The detection device of the Nagaoka Vertical Farm confirmed that there was radiation leakage, but the intensity was very low. Theoretically It does not affect the environment and human body.

Ji Ji asked, "Are we going to disclose the news?"

Miyamoto Miko said: "Tell the news to the local firefighters who went to put out the fire. We should not expose this kind of thing, but we can follow up when they disclose it."

"Okay," Ji Ji nodded, "I'll notify Maya later and ask her to arrange a reporter to follow up."

Miyamoto Miko said: "Okay, go get busy, I'll just watch the news."...

Noon, garden.

After Miko Miyamoto's lunch, Ji Ji came to report the situation, and no one of her own employees and family members died.

Of the more than a dozen head injuries, several were flesh injuries, and a few had mild concussions; more than a dozen fractures, more than 230 minor injuries, none of which were major problems.

In terms of radioactivity, it is confirmed that it does not pose a threat to the human body.

Miyamoto Miko said: "Okay, that's good, the wounded and sick should follow the procedures..."

Ji Ji said: "The wounded have all been evacuated to Gunma County, and the people whose homes were damaged are concentrating on the Nagaoka Vertical Farm."

"In addition, the military has already carried out disaster dispatch at the request of the governor of Niigata Prefecture. They asked us to cooperate in the rescue, and I agreed."

Miyamoto Miko said: "That's fine, but we give priority to our own people, and supplies can be provided to them, but the delivery must be clear, and there are accounts to check. Even if it is a donation in the end, you must know how much you donated."

"Yes, I am doing it." Juji replied.

"That's how it is," Miyamoto Miko said, "The reserve of emergency supplies needs to be expanded, but let's talk about it."

"Okay, then I'll go back." Ji Ji retreated. ...

July 17, Tuesday, evening, Miyamoto's house.

The front page of the evening paper was still news about the Chuetsuki earthquake in Niigata Prefecture. 15 people were killed and more than 2,300 people were injured. The No. 3 unit of the Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant leaked, but the radiation did not affect the environment and the human body.

The international edition of the Evening News published stories about an aviation disaster at the Congonhas airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil, when a plane skidded off the runway, crashed into a warehouse and blew up an adjacent fuel depot during landing.

All 180 passengers and 7 crew members on board were killed. At the same time, 13 ground personnel were affected. Only 1 survived and 12 were killed.

The cause of the accident is preliminarily speculated to be the poor condition of the airport, waterlogging after the rain, and the runway itself not being long enough. ...

July 19, Thursday, evening, Miyamoto's house.

Evening newspaper front pages carried news that the Kashiwazaki Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant would be closed for at least a year for maintenance. ...

July 20, Friday, morning, Miko Miyamoto's office.

The international edition of the Morning Post published news that the Dow Jones index had closed at 14,000 points. ...

Miko Miyamoto held a satellite video conference with Belinda, Olivia, Enoch, and Annie. Olivia and Annie had lost billions of dollars because of the wrong direction of the investment portfolio, adding up to more than tens of billions of dollars.

Miko Miyamoto couldn't laugh or cry: "I told you all, don't worry, just put it there, don't do anything."

Olivia said angrily: "Even if it is left there, the employees in the investment department will still have to pay their wages."

Miko Miyamoto spread her hands and said: "There is no way to do this, anyway, we have to endure."

Annie couldn't help asking, "How long will you endure?"

Enoch said: "Of course it's time to reverse, I know that."

Belinda asked, "So when is the reversal?"

Enoch said irresponsibly, "I don't know."

Miko Miyamoto said: "By the end of September when the financial report is disclosed, the real estate problem in the United States is already obvious, but what exactly is still to be clarified, and internal personnel will probably know exactly what is wrong in August and a half. The news is out, the rats who know the situation is not right, will start to slip away first.”

"Okay, there are still two months." Olivia sighed.

Miko Miyamoto changed the topic, "You should know about the algae biofuel. You have discussed it. Where are you going to put the factory?"

Olivia said: "We discussed it roughly, but the supply of fuel involves the standards of various countries. It is a bit troublesome to travel around the world. You can use refueling ships at sea, but it is a headache to transit on land."

Anne said: "What is certain is that in North America, I am on the west coast of the United States, Sister Olivia is on the east coast of the United States, and Honduras is also there."

"In South America, I'm in Chile on the west coast, and my eldest sister is in Brazil on the east coast."

"In Europe, I'm in England in Western Europe, and my eldest sister is in Slav in the Balkans. Others depend on the situation."

"In the Indian Ocean region, my eldest sister and I will set up factories in Australia and India, and I will also invest in Bangladesh."

"In East Asia and Southeast Asia, I am in China, Thailand, and Singapore, and my eldest sister is in South Korea."

"The construction of the plant is expected to take one to three years, maybe shorter or longer. It is estimated that the total annual output will reach 100 million tons, so as to effectively meet the demand and resist the drop in oil prices."

"The longer the production time, the lower the cost."

"One hectare of algae cultivated every year can extract more than 30 tons of fuel, a total of about 3 million hectares, or 30,000 square kilometers."

"If vertical farms are used, the land area can be reduced by hundreds of times and thousands of times, but the cost is higher, and the specifics need to be explored."

"In addition, the residue after refining algae can also be used for beauty products, purified water, feed, etc. It can be said that 100% can be used, but the specifics need to be considered slowly."

"In short, although the investment scale is large and the payback time is long, it can solve the fuel problem."

Olivia raised her hand and said, "I know, it's mainly me, I'm a big gas guzzler."

"It's good to know." Belinda laughed. "Actually, the algae biofuel is not the point. The point is the engine and a series of standards that can adapt to the algae biofuel. With this, you can use it widely."

Enoch said with a smile: "This is not the point. Many companies have biofuels. The reason why they are only applied on a small scale is that there is not enough funds to popularize them and use the scale to reduce costs. Therefore, funds are the key point."

Olivia smiled and said, "That's right, I also have a biofuel engine, although it's just a locomotive."

Miko Miyamoto said: "You can completely establish your own standard and use it within a certain range."

"Although we decided to use algae biofuel, waste plants, municipal waste and other raw materials should not be wasted. We can make a supplement and make technical reserves at the same time."

"In addition, for the improvement of algae, you must continue to achieve higher yield per unit area and higher oil yield."

"That's for sure," Belinda said.

"Okay, there's nothing else, that's all." Miyamoto Miko said with a smile, "Good night."

After everyone bid farewell, the video chat ended. ...

In the evening, Mei Dai Restaurant.

Hondo Eisuke, who hadn't come to work for four days, found that Mori didn't show up, so he asked Yamazaki curiously.

Yamazaki said: "Uncle, the old street of Forsythia Town was refurbished. He recently investigated the drop rate of small steel balls there. He heard that he was lucky, so he didn't come here."

Hondo Eisuke was speechless, nothing to say. ...

On Monday, July 23rd, in the afternoon, Miyamoto's house.

When Miko Miyamoto came back from get off work, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko presented the notification form they brought back from school.

Miko Miyamoto looked at it, "637, 639, so-so."

Mei Daizi happily asked: "By the way, Mom, Lan said that Uncle is treating guests to dinner after halftime, can we go?"

Miyamoto Miko said with a smile: "Lan must be thinking, instead of asking Kogoro to spend money to play pachinko, it's better to invite everyone to eat. Okay, you go and help eat, but you'd better eat dinner before going."

"Of course I ate it." Yamazaki said with a smile, "It's too risky to let the uncle spend money. If he misses, he will give the meal money to the small steel ball shop first."

Mei Daizi smiled and said: "That's right, I hope it won't be a treat to eat cup noodles in the end, it's really a cup drama."...
