"Daddy, welcome home."
As soon as Chen Chen stepped into the main control room, he heard Little X's crisp, child-like voice. "Aunt Xia Yin came to the data center today."
"I know, I asked her to come."
Chen Chen locked the door behind him and placed the miscellaneous items on the ground. "Apart from that, did you find any suspicious people?"
"I found 3567 suspicious people passing by our house," Little X replied.
Chen Chen smiled. "That's not a suspicious person. They just got off work."
"Oh, I don't quite understand..."
Little X muttered.
It had to be said that Little X's learning ability was outstanding. Chen Chen rarely asked questions that were beyond the scope of Little X's intelligence.
After taking out all the items from the boxes and confirming that they were all the tools he needed, Chen Chen sat in front of the computer, removed the USB drive from the tape on his arm, and plugged it into the computer.
After a while, five or six bags of NZT-48 were taken out from the computer screen.
Chen Chen looked at the six bags of NZT-48 and could not help feeling a little emotional.
Ever since he bought the data center, the transformer had been replaced with the largest model permitted by the government. Now, the amount of electricity that could be charged in a day was equivalent to fifty times the previous amount.
This was the so-called exponential growth.
From the first time he took out NZT-48 and raced against time, Chen Chen spent a total of four months to earn his first sum of money. This was also because of the Zheng Jian incident, which had caught the attention of the school's higher-ups in advance.
After that, Chen Chen spent another three months to successfully resolve the side effects of the drug.
However, from this moment onward, Chen Chen had entered an exponential growth phase.
From the appearance of the second tool to the development of Little X Translation Assistant and the collaboration with Facebook, it only took Chen Chen three months.
If before, Chen Chen still had to envy rich kids like Xia Yin, now, most of the rich kids could not compare to Chen Chen.
It had been less than a year since Chen Chen obtained the USB drive.
At this time, Chen Chen suddenly instantiated so many NZT-48 not because he was out of his mind, but to prepare for a rainy day.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen calculated many times and concluded that he might face three crisis situations in the future:
First, he was coerced by someone and did not have the chance to take NZT-48.
Second, he lost both the USB drive and NZT-48 in the country.
The third possibility was that he had lost both the USB drive and the NZT-48 abroad.
With this in mind, Chen Chen walked to the workbench and poured a bag of NZT-48 into a plate. After that, he used the manual roller Xia Yin had bought to grind them one by one.
Beside the roller were a few boxes of Amoxicillin.
Every time an NZT-48 was crushed, Chen Chen would open an amoxicillin capsule and pour out the powder inside, then replace it with the powder of NZT-48.
When he had accumulated enough plastic shells, Chen Chen took out a roll of aluminum foil and used another small machine to heat seal it.
Finally, Chen Chen stuffed all the sealed capsules into the packaging box. Several boxes of "Amoxicillin" were completed.
This method of hiding the drug was to deal with the situation where someone broke into the data center and held him hostage, and he did not have the chance to take the NZT-48.
Regardless of why the other party wanted to hold him hostage, the most important thing to do at that time was undoubtedly to swallow an NZT-48.
Therefore, an NZT-48 disguised as flu medicine might be enough to get him out of danger.
However, a box of Amoxicillin packaging could only hold 16 pills at most, which was only suitable for emergency use.
After that, Chen Chen took out a pot, poured a bag of edible wax into the pot, and used an induction cooker to heat the wax until it melted.
After that, Chen Chen took out a bag of black food coloring and put it in.
In an instant, the wax became a jet-black color.
That was not enough. Chen Chen took out a bag of powder labeled "ammonium benzoyl saccharide". Chen Chen scooped a spoonful of it and poured it into the pot as well.
Ammonium benzoyl saccharide was the most bitter substance known in the world. It was usually unbearable at a concentration of 0.003%. It was often used as a bittering agent and an aversion agent in daily necessities and industrial products.
The most well-known use of it was probably Nintendo's Switch video game card.
As the Switch video game card was only the size of a fingernail, Nintendo applied this bittering agent on the card to prevent children from accidentally swallowing it.
As soon as a person's tongue came into contact with the game card, their taste buds would be overwhelmed by a bitter taste similar to grapefruit peel. It would linger for a long time.
However, after this news was exposed, many people who had nothing better to do went out of their way to buy the game card to try it out. It even became a cultural trend on the Internet.
It could be said that an unintentional effort had led to great results.
With this in mind, Chen Chen poured the rest of the NZT-48 into the pot as well...
As NZT-48 was soluble in water but not in wax, there was no need to worry about it melting in the pot. All the pills only had to do was roll around in the pot. In an instant, they turned from crystal clear to an unsightly appearance.
After that, Chen Chen scooped out the pills and placed them on the table to dry.
After the pills were dried, Chen Chen took out a few boxes of chewing gum that he bought on the way.
Chen Chen did not buy the usual bubble gum. Instead, he bought a flat metal box that contained a type of compressed candy.
Chen Chen opened all the chewing gum boxes and poured out the compressed candy inside. Then, he stuffed the dried NZT-48 inside...
After that, Chen Chen put one of the chewing gum boxes into his pocket.
Spare.
This way, it would not matter even if he accidentally lost it in the future. Presumably, apart from himself, no one would eat this black, unknown candy with a bitter taste.
These two methods would probably be able to deal with the first critical situation.
The second critical situation would be losing the USB drive and NZT-48 in the country at the same time.
For now, there was no need to worry about why he lost the USB drive or what the consequences of losing the USB drive would be. Chen Chen only had to consider how he could turn the situation around or escape after losing two things he could rely on at the same time.
With this in mind, Chen Chen tossed the black pot away and replaced it with a new one. He filled it with water and poured the remaining five bags of NZT-48 into the pot...
NZT-48 had been tested by Chen Chen long ago. He could not be more familiar with the properties of this drug. It was soluble in water and could withstand temperatures up to a hundred degrees without changing its chemical properties. It could also be exposed to the air for a long time without deteriorating.
With these superior properties, Chen Chen was not afraid of any unexpected situations.
After all the pills had dissolved in the water, Chen Chen took out a bag of edible high-strength gel and poured it into the pot as well.
After Chen Chen stirred it evenly, the liquid in the pot had completely turned into a translucent jelly.
After that, Chen Chen took out several sets of molds from under the bed and poured the liquid into the molds.
When the liquid had completely cooled and solidified, Chen Chen took it out.
In an instant, several soft objects that looked like translucent silicone appeared in front of Chen Chen's eyes.
Looking at these "silicone", Chen Chen smiled faintly, then opened the last box Xia Yin had brought.
The inside of the box was bright and shiny. There were twelve gold bars inside.
On the gold bars, there were words such as "Issued by XX Bank in Mainland China", "500 grams of investment gold bar", and so on.
However, Chen Chen did not even look at these gold bars. He took out two transparent plastic boxes from under the bed, then opened them one by one and placed the silicone-like soft objects into the plastic boxes.
Coincidentally, there were six gaps in each plastic box that were the width of two fingers.
After that, Chen Chen stuffed the six gold bars into the boxes one by one.
In an instant, two beautifully packaged boxes of investment gold bars totaling six kilograms were packaged.
Next, all he had to do was store these boxes in the bank.
Modern banks had a business called "safe deposit box". By renting it, people could store items they deemed valuable in a "safe deposit box" opened by the bank.
For example, house deeds, gold bars, important contracts, and so on.
The biggest advantage of this method was that unless there was a natural or man-made disaster such as confiscation of property or the collapse of the continent's government, the things you stored would be absolutely safe.
As the saying went, the most dangerous place was also the safest place. Even if Chen Chen was hunted down by other forces in the future, NZT-48 would not fall into the hands of others.
