Chapter 713: Can Seawater Alchemy?(Ask for Subscription!)
The actions of the soldiers have always been to achieve the end and unscrupulous means. Fastest updates
They are all robots, there is no emotion and the difference between right and wrong, they only know that they carry out orders, they exist to complete the task, and they exist to implement Tang Qing's will, without reminding them, Tang Qing is really afraid that the soldiers will mess up again.
Now that the land and sea treasure hunt has begun, it is believed that it will soon bear fruit.
For those 'innocent people' who had clues, Tang Qing had to say sorry in advance for their psychological shadows, after going through so much, Tang Qing's heart slowly hardened, and for irrelevant people, there was a lot less inexplicable kindness.
I don't kill people, I just ask for money, and I still bury it in the ground, and that is an ownerless thing.
Speaking of gold.
Tang Qing remembered one more thing.
That is, it seems that there is gold in seawater, and the content is not low, I have seen a lot of relevant reports in previous lives, and scientists have been exploring effective refining methods since they discovered that gold can be extracted from seawater.
In the end, it worked.
However, the cost remains high, and it is not profitable at all.
And how much gold is in the world's seawater.
Tang Qing didn't know either.
Because there are too many 'brick homes'.
There are different opinions, conservatively say 10 million tons, some say 20 million tons, and optimistic say 50 million tons, this kind of thing cannot be investigated, but it is true that there is gold in the sea.
"Tang Yi, do you say that the prospect of extracting gold from seawater is great, and what is the technical difficulty?"
If you don't understand, Tang Qing really can't be sure of the prospect of this kind of project.
Tang Yi replied: "Back to the commander, the prospect depends on the cost and benefit, as long as the benefit is higher than the cost, then there is a prospect, if you want to study the profitable technology of seawater alchemy, it is not difficult."
The gold in seawater is mainly attached to suspended particles in the form of attachments, and in order to be refined, the world's mainstream method now uses gel-like substances to be sprinkled into seawater, and through its function of adsorbing particles, the effect of collecting these suspended particles is achieved, and then gold is extracted.
The technical difficulty is mainly concentrated in the cost of gel substances and the separation and extraction technology, which are not very difficult, but with the existing ideas, limited by scale and method, it is difficult for us to generate profits, at most flat. ”
"Oh, that can be done. Tang Qing's eyes lit up.
Cost.
It's nothing more than equipment and manpower.
But neither of these costs require money, and this part of the cost is estimated mainly on consumables.
As long as you don't lose money.
This business has to be done.
Because he wants gold.
Losing some banknotes is just a small thing.
"Back to the commander-in-chief, yes. Tang Yi replied.
"Well, the project will be formally established, developed as soon as possible, and I will be notified when the technology is mature and the cost and benefit are balanced. Tang Qing ordered, he still decided to do it, if it was done, there would be another source of gold.
Now Tang Qing.
The love for gold is not only that it can be used as collateral for the issuance of the Asian dollar, but also because it is a natural monetary property, because it is by far recognized by the world as a thing that can be used for trade settlement, in addition to national credit.
Although there are basically not many countries in recent years, they use gold to settle their accounts.
But without prejudice to its status.
Human beings have crossed the long gold and silver standard, and have a natural sense of value identity for gold and silver, and the United States pulled gold down the altar back then, but the United States has never ended its gold reserves, which can be seen.
Central banks still regard gold as an important safeguard of a country's currency.
It's not that countries are stupid.
Rather, they can't erase gold's monetary attributes.
The United States, while vigorously promoting a national credit currency, has not relaxed, and has even continued to hoard gold reserves, which shows that gold is very important, very important.
It is so important that the United States does not dare to relax at all if it abolishes the status of gold.
Because.
It's a move.
At critical moments, chess that can turn the tide.
。。。
United States.
San Francisco.
GLP Shipping Company.
Morning.
Brownette was summoned to the company by a phone call.
He was a little excited to cry at the thought that he could finally sell his company, he was originally a big business owner and collector, he was particularly interested in treasure hunting, and he made a lot of money by taking advantage of the Internet feast of the year.
So I was full of confidence and prepared to go on a treasure hunt to save him.
So he formed a company, bought two shallow sea salvage boats and other professional equipment, and wanted to see how his luck was, anyway, he didn't make money from this, just for fun, and if he was tired of it, it was a big deal to sell it.
It was fine at first.
The company makes money.
Make money in the stock market.
He can try his luck along the ancient route if he has nothing to do, although he finds nothing every time, but what he enjoys is the process, the process of finding treasures, and he doesn't care if he can find it or not, so he will travel to the sea.
Pity.
Millennium.
The dot-com bubble burst.
The crisis has swept the world.
His stock was decisively lost, the company was not well managed, slowly struggled, and finally collapsed, and now he has gone from approaching the ranks of billionaires to the company that now guards a salvage ship that no one wants.
To know.
There is no shortage of companies like him in the United States.
At the beginning, it was a global crisis, and no one would want his company.
Missed the best sale period, the ship is inevitably old, the equipment is also obsolete equipment, under the vicious circle, no one wants this company, the most important thing is that this company is wholly owned by him, and there is no way to even protect the bankruptcy.
The only option is to shut down the company and mitigate the losses.
Right now.
He welcomed his first interested buyer in two years.
This made Brownett, who had retired to grow flowers and grass at home, very happy, because the other party did not seem to be intended, but directly planned to buy it, otherwise, he would not have made an offer on the phone on the spot.
Come to the company premises.
It's already overgrown with weeds.
But there are still guards, a black man who is not young, otherwise he may not be dismantled and sold for scrap iron, and he will ask someone to maintain it regularly, but as long as it is power and electronic equipment, the appearance of the ship has not been repainted.
This is the ship.
Marine steel is used. It is still produced in more than nine years, how can it be corroded by wind and rain so quickly, don't look at the rusty surface, but the outer layer of iron oxide is enough to resist the erosion of the long years.
Come to the place.
He saw a black Volkswagen parked at the gate.
A middle-aged white man in a white suit stood there, next to two black bodyguards, imposing.
Brownit hurried over.
"You're Brownit?" the white man asked, looking at him lightly.
Brownette felt the other party's faint 'extravagance', and quickly nodded with a smile: "Hello Mr. Charing, I am Brownette, the owner of this shipping company, you offered to buy me before... ”
The white man interrupted him: "Take me up and have a look, and if it's suitable, I'll buy it." ”
"Ahh Ok sir, this side please... ”
Although the speech was interrupted, Bronnet was not angry, he also hated it when others said nonsense and wasted his time, how good the main play was, what foreplay he wanted, this is exactly what he wanted.
Or talk about the money.
Brownette leads the way in front.
Half an hour later.
The two 80-meter-long salvage boats were inspected up and down.
Brownett tried his best to introduce the 'advantages' of this ship, that is, 'this girl can still move, I don't believe you try it', and he wanted to sell it, but he was scared by this company, because this kind of ship, unless it is really needed, who will buy it, not to mention that others have money why not buy new and more advanced.
"Yes, the price is as I said on the phone. The white man said lightly.
"Mr. Charing, this price is a bit low... I... He was just about to bargain, but when he said this, Brownit couldn't say any more, because he saw the other party's cold eyes, and Nima was scary.
He was so frightened that he took two steps back.
"I'm only willing to pay this price, not a cent more, agree, pay now, don't agree, you can only wait for them to be scrapped and returned. The white man said coldly, his eyes shining with a dazzling light that seemed to pierce his heart.
"I... Agreed. ”
Brownit wanted to take a gamble, but unfortunately, he was frightened by the look in his eyes.
Two million two hundred thousand dollars.
It's already lost to my grandmother's house, but it's better than selling scrap iron.
"Do you need a crew? Some of my previous crew members are not yet working, I can introduce them to you. ”
"No, you don't. ”
"I know a salvage and diving equipment company that is good and affordable. ”
"No, you don't. ”
“。。。 ”
After Brownit sold the company, he was in a good mood and couldn't stop his mouth. But the white man still didn't have the smiling face of a 'collaborator,' and Brownette was slanderous, what an unfriendly fellow.
