After a cordial and friendly in-depth conversation, the two sides reached a lot of consensus on cooperation in the field of medicinal chemistry, and frankly exchanged views, but unfortunately the two sides have no further intention to cooperate.

Howard doesn't care, his business field is arms, and it is already an unexpected surprise to be able to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry.

And Qin Rongshuai didn't care much about the 10% stake in the penicillin production plant, which was a very cost-effective deal for him, and through the 10% stake, Howard, a businessman with a deep connection, was tied to the chariot.

Judging from the results, it seems that everyone is happy, but Qin Rongshuai actually has other plans.

Howard is indeed a genius scientist and a shrewd businessman, with a keen business sense and a good market eye, but his opponent this time is no ordinary person.

He's a hanger.

Because in this era, there is still a long way to go for the industrialization of penicillin, and it will not reach the scale of large-scale mass production for at least two or three years.

Before that, he could slowly sell the penicillin in his carry-on space, which was not produced by the penicillin factory, so naturally he didn't have to share the money with Howard.

And when the penicillin factory is set up, the price of penicillin will plummet.

You must know that in the first half of 1943, the monthly output was only 60 grams, and 1 gram of penicillin was more expensive than gold, and in 1945, the monthly output of penicillin reached 4.7 tons, and the price would drop to a touching price of $25 per gram.

Continuous improvement of production technology and fermentation processes is important, but the real breakthrough in penicillin production is the cultivation of high-yielding strains.

The discovery of the high-yielding strain was made by chance, after the Institute for the Study of the Industrialized North brought back soil samples from around the world through the U.S. military's global transportation capabilities, and then screened to breed suitable strains.

But by chance, they discovered a high-yielding strain suitable for the deep fermentation method at the location of the institute, the famous "melon strain". This strain became the original strain of several high-yielding derivatives.

Since then, the institute has been mutating strains such as "melon strains" through X-ray induction and other methods to obtain extremely high-yield industrially produced strains.

In other words, at this time, it is not much use to have factory equipment and advanced production and fermentation technology.

The biggest role of their factory is to make a little more money than other production factories, but for Qin Rongshuai, this is the first foundation of his business empire.

Of course, Qin Rongshuai naturally carried high-yield strains from the decades of cultivation in the later generations, and he was not ready to take them out.

When he makes enough money, he will open another production plant and crush the factory that Stark is working with with high-yielding strains.

However, before leaving, Qin Rongshuai exchanged a few gold bars for some dollars in Howard's hand.

Early the next morning, Qin Rongshuai found a well-known law firm and entrusted them with company registration and patent-related applications.

Then, after paying a large sum of dollars, the firm promised to help the client with all the formalities in the shortest possible time.

How short is this minimum, which is determined by the amount of money paid by the client, and ranges from three days to one month.

Qin Rongshuai thought about it, paid another sum of money, and asked them to do it within a week, and the law firm swore to Franklin's avatar that they would do it.

After completing this matter, Qin Rongshuai returned to the FBI office building in a relaxed mood and walked into the office located on the basement floor.

He then received a notice from a senior executive that Director Hoover was going to speak with him on the phone, and because there was no phone in his office, he called his immediate boss.

When Qin Rongshuai picked up the phone, Hoover's deep voice came from the microphone, "Yesterday, Colonel Phillips of the Strategic Science Corps protested to me, and the person who said it reached out and crossed the line......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Director, I'll pay attention next time." Qin Rongshuai replied casually.

"Bruce, you're impulsive." Hoover continued, "But next time, be careful not to have too many conflicts with people from other departments, especially those from the Strategic Science Corps. ”

"Yes, I understand, Mr. Director." Qin Rongshuai immediately replied in a serious tone, "I have a report to you, the spies of Hydra have already begun to prepare for activities, and their target is a certain scientist of the Strategic Science Corps, aiming to disrupt a considerable scientific research program. ”

"Huh?" Hoover was a little surprised, "You have a clue so soon?" ”

"Yes, Mr. Director, if you allow it, I will launch a counter-action." Qin Rongshuai replied.

"Child, you are doing a very good job, you are energetic and smart, very similar to me when I was young, I am very optimistic about you, let it go." Hoover seemed pleased, he thought for a moment and asked, "What else do you need?" ”

"I need some weapons, vehicles, and some safe houses, plus a small amount of blank identification." Qin Rongshuai replied carefully.

"Don't you need some human support?" Hoover felt a little strange that Qin Rongshuai made many requests, but the only thing he didn't mention was manpower-related.

"I've recruited some of the best guys in the military to do the operation, and they don't know who I am as an agent for the Bureau of Investigation." Qin Rongshuai replied, "If there is an accident in the operation, then it will not involve the bureau." ”

"You're very thoughtful." Hoover thought for a moment, then said, "Let's use someone from the bureau, I'll have some experienced agents send you to help." ”

"Yes, Mr. Director." Qin Rongshuai hung up the phone with a smile.

It seems that the old thing is not easy to fool, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to stuff all his people into the new department, but he didn't expect Hoover to insist on inserting people in.

But it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than a matter of writing a few more casualty reports, which is normal in this era of lack of various inspection techniques.

Then Qin Rongshuai's office was moved from the basement floor to the sixth floor, and the office area on the half floor was divided into him.

The newly made sign was also hung up, and several letters of the Department of Strategic Defense Support for Homeland Security shone brightly.

Eight federal agents were assigned to him one after another, and the two leaders were veteran agents who worked hard during Prohibition.

One is Corkins, thirty-five or sixteen years old, tall and thin, and the top of his head is very sparse before he reaches middle age. The other Leno was in his forties, fat, pot-bellied, and often smiling.

Several of the other agents were in their twenties, and two of them were newcomers to school.

Qin Rongshuai looked at these agents assigned to him with a smile, ready to say a few words casually to boost morale, although he didn't count on these people, but he still had to do some superficial work.

"Gentlemen, welcome to the new department, I am your boss......"

"What are the main tasks of our new division?" Corkins suddenly interrupted Qin Rongshuai's words and interjected directly.

"Huh?" Qin Rongshuai glanced at the agent with a worried hairline, and didn't say anything, "I'm your boss, Bruce Wayne, and the main task of our new department is to deal with a new secret agent organization, Hydra. I'm sure you've seen the briefing on this organization......"

"So how reliable is the information on these briefings?" Corkins questioned with a smirk expression.

Well?

There is a person who is not convinced.

"This reliability is the same as your hair." Qin Rongshuai asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's more or less?" ”

"......" Knockins' face suddenly began to turn red.

The muscles on the faces of the other people in the room began to twist, and they used great willpower to restrain the corners of their mouths from upturning.

It seems that this Corkins has some ideas, and if he didn't think it was very inappropriate to beat up his colleagues at work the next day, he would have to ask this Corkins to have a drink.

And Agent Leno is much more stable, he doesn't interject when Qin Rongshuai speaks, he looks like an old fritter.

The rest of the young people are not very worry-free, and they are all ambitious, ready to do something big in this new department.

However, Qin Rongshuai has a way to train them, just give them a few pieces of information, and they can let them run around New York City for a day.

And Qin Rongshuai sent plainclothes rangers to keep an eye on Dr. Egins twenty-four hours a day, as soon as he went out, Qin Rongshuai would immediately rush over and observe from a distance.

There was no unusual movement for several days, and there were no suspicious people around Erkins, except for the bodyguards, there were regular plainclothes guards around his residence, and from time to time there were police patrolling the neighborhood.

This made Qin Rongshuai a little puzzled, did they have already taken pictures and withdrew.

Then Qin Rongshuai immediately rejected this idea, and the people of Hydra were not sure about the progress of Dr. Erkins' research, so they naturally kept an eye on him.

So where will this person hide?

It can continue to track the target without suspicion, and can also take photos at close range, and frequently appear around the target without alerting the security personnel.

After a few of them, the answer is about to come out.

There is only one truth.

That is, there are internal ghosts in the defense system.

But this person must not be an agent of the inner circle, because the purpose of Hydra is to assassinate, and if Hydra's spy could really get that close, he would have done it a long time ago.

Moreover, the members of the Strategic Science Legion in this era have undergone strict background checks, which is different from that of S.H.I.E.L.D. later.

Then the scope of suspicion was narrowed, and Qin Rongshuai quickly locked his eyes on the policemen patrolling nearby, and soon found suspicious characters.

Although Germans are one of the largest ethnic groups in the United States, many of the police in the United States are Irish, and Germans are very prominent.

Once you've set your goals, it's time to arrest them next.

But the identity of the other party as a police officer is very tricky, you must know that the American police are actually similar to gangsters, father and son, often a large family is a policeman, and they pay attention to each other's attention.

If the police are mobilized, they will not care what the reason is, and they will protect the shortcomings first, which will easily cause conflicts.

So Qin Rongshuai gathered all his new subordinates and announced the newly discovered clues to them.

Corkins stood up at once and took over the task first, he didn't care what kind of police officer was not a police officer, as long as he had merit, he was willing to let him arrest the president.

He has been in the Investigation Bureau for many years, and his position has not been promoted, and his resentment is very big, especially after being transferred to Qin Rongshuai, a young man, as a deputy, which makes him even more envious and jealous.

His only thought now is to make a big contribution, so that Director Hoover will notice him and discover his shining point.

In that way, you can also be like this rookie newcomer, and get promoted and raised.

All the personnel of the Department of Strategic Defense Support of Homeland Security poured out of the nest, carrying typewriters straight to the target's single apartment.
