Chapter 849: The Moon Landing Plan
Living up to Jiang Chen's expectations, the graphene research institute of Futureman Heavy Industry came up with a solution, turning the floating planting field he imagined into reality.
One hundred floating fields with an area of one hundred mu are floating in the southwestern waters of Penglai City. They are connected to each other by graphene cables that have fallen into the sea. The ebb and flow of the jolt.
All the sap produced is collected by the employees on the floating field and poured into the designated area. Through the interconnected graphene pipelines, the sap is transported to the oil storage tank, and waits for the tanker to transport it to the refinery in Mindanao for processing. into fuel oil and other chemical raw materials that can be produced from petroleum.
Yes, although he doesn't plan to build plantations abroad, Jiang Chen still doesn't mind sharing this highly polluting industry with his allies. The industrial foundation of Moro country is very weak, and half of the finances depend on the few mining areas developed by the future mining industry. Santos hopes that Jiang Chen will build all these highly polluting factories on his side.
On the one hand, it can solve employment, on the other hand, it can also increase tax revenue.
Whether it's dirty or not, let's fill up the stomach first!
In this way, a relatively complete oil industry chain has been formed from Penglai City to Mindanao Island. Petroleum products produced in Mindanao will be exported to Anga Island and the New Mata Special Zone through the Davao Port to support the oil demand of local chemical, food, and clothing companies, while the excess oil will be exported to China.
At present, both the oil refinery in Mindanao and the hundreds of acres of offshore plantations planned by Penglai City are under construction.
According to the evaluation of the Ministry of Finance, once this oil industry chain is completed, it will bring in direct profits of at least SGD 20 billion a year to the Future Group, and completely reverse the current situation that Singapore's industry is subject to the international crude oil market.
...
After hearing that the Future Group has found a new way to solve the energy crisis, various countries have sent their own researchers to Koro Island. In name, it is to exchange experience, but in fact, it is trying to get the dna code of this oil palm from the Future Group, and it is best to get the breeding technology.
Whether it is bright or dark, all countries have also tried their best.
However, these researchers who were sent to Xinguo, not to mention exchanging experience with the researchers of the Future Group, didn't even see anyone.
No matter what reasons they put forward for "academics without borders" and "for the sake of all mankind", the soldiers of the star ring trade guarding the entrance of the future man building are completely unmoved.
As for the spies who came secretly,
Without exception, they were not countered by Ghost Agent. If the circumstances are minor, they will be deported from the country, and if the circumstances are serious, they will be dealt with secretly. Although overseas activities are not as good as those of cia and Mossad, the anti-espionage activities in the country and the home court advantage brought by high technology protect the national security of the entire new country like an iron barrel.
Although trying their best to get benefits, the countries obviously did not give up.
Among them, Switzerland directly offered a price tag of 2 billion US dollars to acquire the DNA code, but Jiang Chen threw the letter of intent into the wastebasket without even reading it. Not to mention that the price is seriously underestimated, it is impossible to sell it to you just because of your NATO status.
Mobil Oil Company is a private company, and the asking price is relatively high, reaching 3.7 billion US dollars. However, even this figure is still far lower than Jiang Chen's own valuation of this technology.
Even the Liu family in Huaguo was interested in this thing, and asked Jiang Chen if he had any plans to cooperate.
"If you lack land, we just have land here." During the phone call, Liu Xiangguo said with a smile.
"Okay, we can export crude oil to you at a price that is relatively lower than OPEC's. As for the technology related to oil palm, don't even think about it. I can't sell it." Jiang Chen directly pierced his small thoughts and said .
It is because you happen to own land, so it cannot be sold to you. The only advantage of the Future Group lies in technology. If this technology is sold, any larger inland country can use its land area to take tens of millions of acres to plant this oil crop.
One is at sea and the other is on land. Without a technological advantage, what a competition!
Jiang Chen is not short of money enough to sell technology.
"Don't show affection at all?" Liu Xiangguo pretended to be confused.
Jiang Chen laughed.
"Doing business, what's the point of being affectionate?"
Liu Xiangguo shook his head, licking his tongue, thinking to himself what a pity.
Having dealt with the Future Group for so long, he can be regarded as getting to know Jiang Chen pretty well. He knew very well that Jiang Chen's words were so absolute that he didn't intend to give him any thoughts. There will be no results if we continue to talk about this issue. On the contrary, the relationship between the two companies will become stalemate.
"Let's not talk about that, are you doing something new in outer space recently? That space colonization plan... are you serious?"
Although it was in a chatty tone, Jiang Chen could feel the temptation in Old Man Liu's words.
However, regarding this matter, he did not intend to hide it, and he was outspoken.
"That's right, I even thought about the name of the first city."
"Oh? Haha, this is not a secret." Liu Xiangguo smiled kindly, and said in an elder tone, "Let me tell you."
"Guanghan City." Jiang Chen also said with a smile.
...
Guanghan City is named after the Guanghan Palace in the myth.
As the name suggests, the first ring of the space colonization plan of the star ring trade is the moon.
The construction of Guanghan City can be carried out simultaneously with the space elevator. After the space elevator is completed and the transportation cost is reduced, the size of the lunar city can be expanded. There is no need to wait until the space elevator is completed step by step before starting.
Colonizing the Moon has strong practical implications.
In addition to rich titanium, manganese, chromium and rare earth resources, the most important thing is the helium 3 on the moon!
Taking control of the abundant helium-3 reserves on the moon, the Future Human Group will rely on controllable nuclear fusion technology to set off a wave of energy revolution again after the material science revolution led by graphene!
As early as after the astronaut training center on Anga Island was completed, the Starlink trade had launched a lunar probe to search for lunar ice buried under the soil layer to determine the colony's landing site.
Fortunately, in a crater with a diameter of more than 100 kilometers, the lunar probe found a reservoir of lunar ice. The proven reserves are more than 56 million tons, distributed in the lunar soil at an altitude of 500 meters to 1,000 meters.
When Kerwin reported the news to Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen immediately ordered to launch a rocket to the moon, and sent space volunteers to land on the moon, taking the first step of space colonization. (To be continued.)
