When Hans introduced the set of toys, he also found a piece of information for Li Du on the Internet.
The information was the autobiography of A. C. Gilbert, the owner of Gilbert Toys. He wrote in his autobiography:
"The toy I am most proud of is the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory. The development of this product was supported by the government and was beneficial to the public's understanding of atomic energy. We had the help of the country's top nuclear physicists and developed it with MIT...
"There are no fakes or substandard products in the Atomic Energy Laboratory toys. They are all real, safe and authentic. Although we put radioactive materials in them, none of them have been proven to be harmful to the human body. All the accessories are carefully designed and manufactured. "
Li Du read the introduction of the toy in the autobiography and smiled bitterly. "If he had skimped on the materials, maybe the results would have been better?"
Hans said, "We like it because it is real. When I was young, I wanted to make a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately, I couldn't find uranium 235."
Li Du said, "That caused you to fail to develop into a physicist, right?"
Hans said regretfully, "Yeah, I asked my dad for Uranium-235, but my dad gave me a piece of dried mud. D * mn, how can mud generate electricity? "
Li Du laughed. Hans was embarrassed. "Who didn't have a stupid childhood? Didn't you have such an experience? "
After thinking for a while, Li Du shook his head. "Not really. When I was young, I also had the idea of studying science. In the end, I took apart a television and was beaten half to death."
The only time he repaired an electrical appliance when he was young was when he accidentally broke the plug board at home. At that time, plug boards were very rare, and each family only had one.
Little Li Du remembered the experience of almost being beaten to the point of paralysis when he took apart a television, so he connected the wires inside by himself.
He thought he had fixed it, but in fact, he just connected the zero wires together. At that time, how could he know the difference between the zero wires and the zero wires?
Then, the moment Li Du's father came back to plug in the electricity, a small fireball rose in front of him, and then the fuse exploded...
Thinking back, Li Du felt lucky that he was able to live to grow up.
When he was young, with the condition of the household circuit in the suburbs of the county, they were lucky that the zero wire and the fire wire didn't explode after being connected together.
When he told Hans what had happened, Hans looked at him with disdain. "It's just a circuit repair. Can't you do something as simple as that? When I was young, my dream was to develop a new type of beverage, Iced Nut Cola … "
Li Du gave him a thumbs up. "You're awesome!"
"I also want to design a small nuclear reactor and install it in my children's motorcycle so that it has more power. It would be best if it could fly …"
"It's not easy for you to survive until now," Li Du said.
But then again, if this toy could be launched in China, then China's atomic bomb might have exploded a few years earlier.
In 1950, the children of China did not even know what electricity was. Yet, the children of the United States were already playing with nuclear energy. To be honest, the gap between the two was huge.
Ever since the beginning of the 20th century, the gap between China and the United States had widened. China had been trying to catch up, and the results were obvious. In terms of toys, children in China and the United States were playing the same way.
This Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory could have been sold for fifty dollars more than sixty years ago. Now, its value had increased by hundreds of times.
Hans said, "I just checked on the Internet. There are people who want to buy this thing. The highest price on eBay is forty thousand dollars!"
Li Du said, "The value has increased by eight hundred times?"
Hans nodded proudly. "Yes, I think the price is a little low. Back then, fifty dollars was equivalent to ten thousand dollars today. In the 1950s, workers' salaries were at most twenty dollars."
"At that time, there were toys like this on the market, and they could be sold for fifty dollars. Now, where can you find it? So it should be worth more. "
They had collected a total of eleven Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory sets. Some of the gadgets inside, such as canopy batteries, could not be used anymore.
Li Du asked Hans to deal with these things. When Brother Wolf came back, he said, "I have other things to do. You're responsible for cleaning up the warehouse. You'd better get rid of these toys as soon as possible. Don't take them home."
They were seriously radioactive, and Li Du did not want them to come into contact with Sophie and the children.
Brother Wolf took him out of Blackstone Town and went to a hotel in the suburbs. He said, "The Tucson Gang is staying here. How do we deal with them?"
Li Du thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry. Let me see."
He released the little bug into the hotel, searched inside, and found Princeps, who was taking a bath.
Princeps was soaking in the bathtub, with a towel over his face, and was humming a tune.
Li Du smiled and continued to search. In a backpack, he found the silver coins that Princeps had taken from him.
Seeing these silver coins, he released the little bug to absorb the time energy in them.
Princeps had dug his own grave. He could not blame Li Du for being merciless.
When Princeps broke the Taser, Li Du had this idea.
He first gave the silver coins to Princeps, and then let the little bug absorb the time energy in them.
These silver coins were very old. Although silver was a stable metal that would not rust or rot, its chemical properties were more active and easily reacted with oxygen in the air.
Without time energy, it began to oxidize rapidly. The patterns on both sides of the silver coins became dull and eventually blurred, turning into small black silver plates.
The value of a silver coin came from its identity. When its identity could not be identified, it had no value and could only be sold as ordinary waste silver.
Ordinary waste silver was not worth much. A silver coin was only about 20 grams. If it was sold as waste silver, it would be worth more than ten dollars.
After dealing with the silver coins, he waited for a while to see how Princeps would react when he found out that the silver coins worth more than ten thousand dollars had become more than a hundred dollars.
In the end, Princeps did not look at the silver coins. After taking a bath, he lay on the bed and watched television. Then he made a phone call. After a while, a coquettish girl came in.
Seeing this, Li Du was amused. What a pleasant surprise! Princeps actually had sex with a prostitute!
In the United States, prostitution was illegal. Only in Nevada was it legal. In Las Vegas, the police in other places liked to catch prostitutes, and the law allowed the police to enforce the law in this area.
Li Du hurriedly called Luo Qun and asked her to come quickly.
