Lithium is a rare element on the earth, and its reserves in the earth's land are relatively small, and its reserves in seawater are not large. However, lithium is the main element that is essential for the manufacture of energy blocks. Even in the interstellar society, lithium is also a mid-range or above material with a relatively large demand and frequent transactions.

The lithium used in the production of energy blocks is mainly extracted from seawater, and some of it is purchased from real lithium companies. The purchased lithium is nominally used for scientific research.

No matter how mature the technology of Huaguo Starry Sky is to extract substances from seawater, the energy consumption of this technology is quite staggering. Before the cold nuclear fusion power plant was built, Huaguo Star could not get enough lithium from seawater. And if you buy out, you can only keep it to a certain extent. Because the number of outsourced purchases is large, it will cause a chain reaction from the outside world, not to mention, the outside world may not be able to supply it.

In this case, Chen Yue thought of recycling lithium batteries and extracting the lithium elements in the waste lithium batteries for reuse. The efficiency of lithium obtained in this method is much higher than that of seawater extraction.

The lithium content in seawater is as low as a fraction of the decimal point. The lithium content in waste lithium batteries is basically about one to two or three percent. With such a large content, as long as the extraction technology of Huaguo Starry Sky is used, the extraction is quite convenient.

After all, the principle of Huaguo Starry Sky's extraction technology is quite simple, that is, the extraction object material is placed in a special furnace, the object substance is completely vaporized and made to present an ionic state, and then the electric ions of the related substance are adsorbed into another container at a specific magnetic field frequency and condensed into a solid state.

The purity of the substances extracted in this way is surprisingly high, infinitely close to 100 percent.

To extract a substance from seawater, it is necessary to vaporize countless tons of seawater to obtain a small amount of physical goods. However, if lithium is extracted from discarded lithium batteries, the efficiency of obtaining lithium can be countless times higher than that of gasification and ionization of seawater.

Until cold fusion technology becomes a reality, and before there is an almost endless source of energy, Huaguo Starry Sky will not have the ability to extract the required substances from seawater on a large scale. Therefore, Chen Yue has to take the expedient measure of recycling waste lithium batteries.

As the head of Kada Island, who is in charge of all day-to-day affairs and all administrative affairs, Chen Suping is naturally aware of these factors. But she doesn't need to explain it in detail to the outside world at all, does she?

Since Chen Suping was reluctant to talk about this issue, the on-site order meeting entered the next process and began to discuss the payment of goods.

In the current international transactions, although the digital currency has begun to be gradually implemented, the military hegemony of the United States has not collapsed after all, so the status of the rice dollar as a settlement currency in international transactions is still maintained. Many countries will give face to the United States and use digital currencies in small-scale transactions, but in really large-scale transactions, it is still necessary to use the meter dollar for settlement.

This lithium battery transaction with Huaguo Star can also be regarded as a large-scale international trade. Because no matter which company needs to order the value of the new lithium battery, it is hundreds of millions of meters, billions of meters or even tens of billions of meters.

Representatives of the companies are now interested in what kind of settlement will be adopted in Kada. If Kada Island were to settle in a digital currency, it would be a pretty serious blow to the settlement status of the Mi Dollar. After all, even if it is a conservative estimate, in a year, the world will have to purchase no less than trillions of yuan worth of new lithium batteries from Kada Island!

Ending the financial hegemony of the Mi people is one of Chen Yue's ultimate plans, but Chen Yue will not rush it now. On the one hand, he oppressed the hegemony of the rice people from various angles, and on the other hand, he had to pay attention not to let the rice people completely flip the table.

With the support of a high-energy laser transmitter and the support of a relatively strong superpower, he is not afraid of the rice people lifting the table. But this will affect the stability of the planet to some extent, and his long-term plans will not be carried out smoothly.

The live order meeting was broadcast live to the world. At this time, the mood of human beings all over the world is relatively nervous, for fear that Chen Suping will say that he will not use rice dollars for settlement.

In that case, it is equivalent to immediately forcing the people of the United States into a corner. It's hard to predict what will happen next, but it's certain that the planet will be in turmoil as a result.

"For this payment settlement, we use the meter dollar as the settlement currency. Under the attention of the world, Chen Suping said this sentence indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, people around the world who paid attention to this matter breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Star Group has no intention of stirring up trouble.

The meeting room of the Presidential Palace of the Green Palace of the United States.

"Counting their acquaintances, this transaction did not leave the meter yuan behind. If they dare to settle accounts in other ways, then we, we ......," President Payne breathed a sigh of relief and spoke.

But he 'we' for a long time, but he still can't say the following, and he can't say the words of how the United States will retaliate.

Banksy and the others all looked inexplicable. Because they don't know if Qatar really uses other settlement methods, they will brazenly launch war methods to launch sanctions against the Star Group.

It's hard to say, it's hard to say. Fortunately, the Star Group can carry it clearly, and they don't need to make difficult choices.

In the conference room of the Huaguo House of Elders, all the elders exhaled softly.

"Fortunately, the Star Group did not rush this time and did not directly force the people of the United States into a corner. An elder said.

As the only Lordship in the world who knows most of the truth, the Elders are aware of the great responsibility that rests on the shoulders of the Star Group. The elders also knew that if the Star Group wanted to gather the power of the global human race, it would have to end the four hegemony of the Mi people.

They have always been worried that the Star Group is not politically mature enough and will force the people of the United States to take risks. After all, the extremely large number of nuclear weapons in the nuclear arsenal of the United States, even if they cannot be lifted into the air, but only explode on their own soil, it is enough to bring the process of human civilization on the earth to an end.

"They did a beautiful job of ending the food hegemony of the rice people, and they did it right this time. If they do not use rice dollars for settlement this time, it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the financial hegemony of the rice people, but it is also likely to make the rice people really anxious and cause serious consequences. Another elder commented.

"Yes, their forbearance this time is good. After all, as long as the new battery is introduced, the energy hegemony of the United States will quickly end. Star Group doesn't have to be in such a hurry. One of the elders said.

"Not really. I heard that the Congress of the United States is now discussing a complete withdrawal from the Middle East region and a complete return of the autonomy of the people in the Middle East. And those countries in the Middle East that were originally oppressed by the United States are wailing. They seem to be extremely reluctant to evacuate the Mi army, completely forgetting that they have been strongly urging the Mi people to leave the Middle East before. An elder said with a smile.

"It's normal. The Middle East has nothing but oil. Now, their life is indeed not easy. Fortunately, even with the new type of battery, the role of petroleum will not be completely lost, at least it can still exist as a chemical raw material. So although the value of oil has plummeted, Middle Eastern countries can still survive. It's just that from now on, the title of 'Middle Eastern tyrant' will disappear from now on. Another elder said.

"Well, let's not talk about the United States and the Middle East. Now let's discuss how to redeploy our domestic industrial landscape and social planning with the help of new batteries. The Great Elder knocked on the table and said.

The topic of the meeting immediately shifted.
