Silicon Valley

Watching Bruce Hope leave, Henry couldn't help feeling a little excited and unspeakable. He thought, when the flying saucer went up to the sky, would people be shocked and point at the flying saucer and shout 'UFO'?

"Ha ha……"

Henry smiled to himself, and then began to review the documents.

A week later, Steve Huggins, the head of Gene Umbrella X Laboratory, suddenly called Henry and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, we have discovered a substance that plays a vital role in the development of genetic evolution medicines." , with it, we will soon be able to develop genetic evolution medicine!"

Henry was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but asked quickly, "What kind of substance is it?"

"It's the unique plant on Socotra Island - the dragon's blood of the dragon's blood tree!!!" Steve Huggins replied.

"Dragon blood from the dragon's blood tree?!" Henry murmured and repeated, and the picture of the dragon's blood tree suddenly appeared in his mind, which is the most famous and unique plant on Socotra Island, with a unique and strange appearance , its branches and leaves are upturned, densely forming an inverted umbrella-shaped crown. It grows in the arid semi-desert area. It is said that when the dragon and the elephant fought in ancient times, the blood of the dragon spilled on the ground, and the dragon's blood tree grew out of the soil later. When the dragon's blood tree is damaged, it will bleed out a dark red plasma-like mucus - this kind of mucus is considered to be dragon's blood in legends, hence the name of the dragon's blood tree! No matter what disease the local people have, they will use the "dragon blood" of the dragon blood tree for treatment!

"Yes, Your Majesty, but ordinary 'dragon blood' is useless, it needs to be extracted by Gene Umbrella Company in a special way. The dragon blood of a whole dragon blood tree can be extracted It is enough to satisfy a bottle of gene evolution potion. In other words, only one dragon blood tree can make a bottle of gene evolution potion!"

"How many dragon blood trees are there on Socotra Island?" Henry immediately asked a key question!

"The number is not much, less than 100,000! "IUCN" included it in the Red List of Threatened Species - Vulnerable List! Due to deforestation by local people, overgrazing and urban development, etc., the dracaena's The number is decreasing year by year!"

Steve Huggins continued, "According to the current discovery of the scientific community, the longest-lived tree in the world is the dracaena, which has lived for more than 8,000 years. Because the lifespan of the dracaena is so long, it The extracted essence has a unique effect!!!”

"Steve Huggins, can dragon blood trees be artificially cultivated?" Henry asked again.

"Of course! But the longer the lifespan of the dragon blood tree, the better the quality of the 'dragon blood' it secretes!"

"Well, I see. Now that dracaena can be cultivated, Gene Umbrella will immediately plant more dracaena in Socotra Island! For those long-lived dracaena, find a larger place , transplanted all these trees, in order to ensure the survival rate, transplanted together with the soil!!!”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he was very excited. The dragon blood tree is very important for the development of genetic evolution medicine, so it must be well protected.

"It seems that Socotra Island must be protected by heavy troops! In the future, it will not only be the military base of the Williams Empire, but also a very important experimental base for the Gene Umbrella Company!" Henry muttered to himself, holding Pick up the phone and prepare to give an order.

Henry decided to send more troops to Socotra Island.

Socotra Island is composed of 4 small islands and 2 rocky islands. One of the islands is designated as a military forbidden area, and any irrelevant people are strictly prohibited from going to the island. The gene umbrella experiment base and the longevity dragon blood tree are all placed here! There is no doubt that Henry must keep the top grade "dragon blood" for himself and his relatives, and distribute the rest to his subordinates. In the future, even if the genetic evolution medicine is developed, it will not be sold to the outside world. Henry wants it to strengthen the Williams Empire!

At this moment, Henry stared at the map and couldn't help frowning. After all, Socotra Island is a bit far away from the Williams Empire. Only by taking Somalia can we increase the control over Socotra Island!

Today, the situation in Somalia is very chaotic. Austin's armed forces have good weapons, but the number of coalition forces is large. For a while, Austin and the coalition forces formed a stalemate, and various small battles almost never stopped every day.

"Order Austin and the Alliance Army to fight decisively as soon as possible to unify Somalia!"

Henry issued another order.

Henry didn't have the time to wait for them when it would take a small fight to unify Somalia. Unify Somalia as soon as possible, and let Somalia belong to the Williams Empire as soon as possible, so that Henry can justifiably develop in Somalia and prevent Somalia from holding back the empire. If Somalia is strong, it will be able to echo and rely on each other with Socotra Island!
