Chapter 289 Exchange of Interests
In just half a day, countless people took planes to the Magic City, making the already busy airport even more lively.
There are many celebrities in this group of people, some of whom even appear on TV frequently, but none of them are very successful businessmen, and their net worth is not measured in hundreds of millions.
"Hey, Mr. Gao, nice to meet you!"
"Mr. Ma, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you in Magic City today. Mr. Liu, you are here too. Let's have a good drink then."
"Hahaha, it's necessary. We haven't met for almost a year. We really have a good drink this time."
Scenes like this are happening all the time. For this group of people, it is not surprising that they gather together for business discussions more or less every year or several years, and they get to know each other.
Their main purpose this time is naturally to have a battery with five times the capacity.
Because China belongs to the mainland, the first batch of people who came were naturally Chinese businessmen, but the business they did was all closely related to batteries. As for foreign businessmen, many are on their way, and even those who have not yet started are discussing corresponding countermeasures.
As for those who came directly to the Science Fiction Group, Ye Xuan also had people send them back and come back tomorrow at noon.
At this moment, a senior colonel was sitting in Ye Xuan's office. He had cooperated with Ye Xuan many times, and they were already old acquaintances.
The colonel said bluntly: "Mr. Ye, I don't know how far your research on batteries has reached. Do you have something with a capacity higher than five times?"
"Of course." Ye Xuan nodded affirmatively. He didn't prepare much secrecy about the battery at first, so he simply admitted it directly.
"Oh." The colonel's eyes suddenly lit up and he said with a smile: "I don't know if this technology can be handed over to the country. You also know that there are a lot of batteries that need to be used in some military affairs. If you have a large-capacity battery, the performance of the weapon will be very high." It has improved a lot, and of course, we will give you corresponding rewards.”
Last time, the representative of the country was directly ignored by Ye Xuan because of his unauthorized assertions. But this time, it is obvious that this senior colonel was slightly allowed to be the direct representative. At least the previous cooperation between the two was very good. With this foundation, he has It will also be much simpler.
Ye Xuan said without reservation: "I'm not satisfied with what you said. Now my scientific research team has developed a battery with six times the capacity, and it will be able to reach ten times the capacity soon."
Ten times, Ye Xuan is ready to use the maximum capacity, but as for the rest, he is not ready to use it yet.
"Ten times!" The colonel stared with a shocked expression.
He had done some homework before coming here. Most of the batteries on the market are not as good as military batteries. Many military batteries have a much higher capacity than those outside, but the price will naturally increase a lot.
The price for military use can be more than twice or even three times that of the outside, but the price is not as simple as two or three times, but ten times or a hundred times. This is why it is only suitable for military use and not for civilian use. The price is too high, which will undoubtedly increase a lot of costs.
However, the five times the capacity that Ye Xuan launched was already much higher than that used by the military, so he was asked to come over, but now he actually heard that the other party would soon be able to develop ten times the capacity.
This is not only higher than that used by the military, but several times higher!
If it can be used on weapons, the power of some things will increase even more.
Take drones for example. They will fly longer and the threat distance will be wider. They will also play a vital role in China's drone project.
This is just one aspect, as for the others, they are naturally countless.
Therefore, this battery is also particularly important for the military and is a part that cannot be ignored.
The colonel calmed down and asked, "If we exchange for your battery technology with ten times the capacity, I wonder what price we would have to pay?"
No matter what, he must obtain such technology, which will play a vital role in the entire national defense industry.
Although it has not been thoroughly researched, the other party actually said that it will be successfully developed soon, so there must be a certain degree of credibility. Even if it takes a little longer, it doesn't matter.
"Is this it?" Ye Xuan groaned, asking the country for something, naturally something he couldn't buy himself, and said, "I need a lot of nuclear raw materials, the more the better."
"Nuclear raw materials?" the colonel repeated in surprise, looking at Ye Xuan, wondering why the other party wanted this thing.
Moreover, this thing is not something that ordinary private companies can master, at least the state does not allow it. After all, what it represents is obvious. But he still asked, "What do you want this for?"
Ye Xuan said nonchalantly: "Our group is researching controllable nuclear fusion, so we naturally need this thing. If it wasn't difficult to buy, we wouldn't make it a request."
Although this thing is difficult to obtain privately, and some small countries do not have it, but for a big country like China, you basically have as much as you want, and the country naturally has no shortage.
The colonel suddenly shouted in a high-speed voice: "Controllable nuclear fusion!"
No wonder, controllable nuclear fusion is a topic of research in all major countries, and is even listed as one of the cleanest energy sources in the future. If the research is successful, it will greatly reduce the energy consumption of the entire earth.
Nowadays, many countries have joined the European research project, and China has spent a lot of effort to become one of them. However, there has been no progress for so many years.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was actually planning to study this project, or he had already studied it.
I remember that we got a lot of nuclear materials from Japan last time. Could it be that they have used up all of them?
With doubts in his heart, he asked again: "I wonder how far your research in this area has gone?"
Although I asked this question, I didn't hold out the slightest hope. After all, so many countries had no clue in their joint research, and it was even more impossible to count on one of their companies.
"It went pretty smoothly."
Ye Xuan said perfunctorily, at least now he didn't want the other party to know the details. You can save a lot on the battery, but definitely not in this regard.
The senior colonel did not ask any further questions. He believed that, like other countries, there was no progress at all. He said in a deep voice, "I can't make the final decision regarding nuclear materials. I have to report to my superiors."
"no problem!"
Of course Ye Xuan knows this. The transaction of nuclear materials is not something that can be decided by one or two people, let alone with a private group.
