The well was dug, the house was built, and what was next? Surely, one couldn't just open a branch factory in the middle of nowhere! As they left the village, Shi Ye turned to Shi Tian and asked.
Air Force was driving, Lure sat in the passenger seat helping to navigate, while Shi Tian and Shi Ye were in the back. Driving on the left side with a left-hand drive car made it tricky for the passenger to see oncoming traffic, making overtaking a cautious endeavor.
"Let's start with light industry in Marseille! Once we have a foundation, we can expand into heavier industries. This place will become my base in Africa!"
Lighting a cigarette, Shi Tian began to outline his plans. He didn’t need to keep an eye on things at this moment; it was fine to talk about them. As long as they got the branch factory up and running, Shi Ye would definitely let him return home.
"I'm currently teaching those two bodyguards how to brew soy sauce and vinegar. Once they master that, I’ll teach them how to make oyster sauce and chili bean paste. With water available, they can definitely manage these tasks."
Once these products are ready, drying some fruit shouldn’t be a problem! Nut coffee could work too; just a few varieties would suffice. As long as there’s a sales channel, these products could scale up.
Once it reaches a certain scale, would there still be no electricity here? Once power is connected and some outdated light textile equipment is brought over, in just ten years' time, this place could develop into a town.
Shi Ye hadn’t expected Shi Tian to have such plans; it seemed Yi Laotou had taught him quite a bit!
Not to mention, brewing soy sauce here could easily meet high-end quality standards—at least it wouldn’t be watered down. These products could not only be exported domestically but also have a market locally and in neighboring areas. The investment for this plan is minimal and yields quick results; it’s entirely feasible.
Shi Tian had already mentioned the initial phase; even without him saying anything further, Shi Ye could guess the general direction. For light industry, they could either source high-end raw materials from home or send semi-finished products back. After all, focusing on Xia Yan would ensure ample profits for them.
"Alright then, tomorrow I’ll take you crocodile fishing. Don’t you want to hunt leopards too? In a few days, we can take a trip to Zambia. You haven’t been out to sea since coming here! There are plenty of Bluefin Tuna around; I’ll take you out for that as well."
Leaning back in his seat and putting on an eye mask, Shi Ye was anxious to drag Shi Tian back to Dashi—not for something trivial.
"I’m not going anywhere! Dashi is fine as it is; I just want to lie down on Dashi's little bed and catch some sleep. If there are lobsters and crabs again, that would be perfect!"
He had already been tricked twice by them—once sold off to Myanmar and now lured into Africa. Did they really think he would fall for another trap leading him to Zambia? Unless he had lost his mind!
Shi Tian spoke up, causing the three of them to burst into laughter. It seemed this time Shi Tian had learned his lesson; he wouldn’t be so easily fooled again.
By the time they returned to Dashi, it was already past midnight. This time they weren’t heading back to Shi Tian’s villa; judging by its scale, it looked like Shi Ye’s base of operations here.
After arranging for a few people, Shi Ye took Shi Tian back to his room. Flipping through his phone, he pulled out Shi Tian’s major project and placed it on the table: "What does this mean?"
For this 1,200-watt-hour battery pack he received from Shi Tian's message, he had set off with Air Force and others. After two days of travel chaos, he found this guy still out in the wild gnawing on lamb legs while helping others dig wells.
The energy density of the battery was 1,200 watt-hours per kilogram. Opening the Rod Bag, Shi Tian pulled out an Iron Plate Rod battery and placed it in front of Shi Ye while laughing as he tapped on it.
Currently, batteries in electric cars have an energy density ranging from 300 to 400 watt-hours per kilogram; laboratory models are slightly higher at around 700 watt-hours. However, there are still many technical challenges that need overcoming before mass production could begin—if everything went smoothly, it would still take one or two years.
Having taken Simba's land meant they needed to build an energy station. Originally, Shi Tian wanted to use batteries built into Dian Xiao Er's devices but found them too expensive; his points were only enough for a fraction of that cost. He had no choice but to settle for Iron Plate Rod Electric Reel batteries instead.
With 1,200 watt-hours of capacity, if electric cars used such batteries, their range would exceed 2,000 kilometers. Once battery technology breaks through further advancements, who would still care about fuel or hydrogen-powered vehicles?
