Since Xiangjiang came back, everything seemed to be calm, Li Qingyuan acted as if nothing had happened, anyway, he didn't have to rush his life, and when they relaxed their guard, that was the moment when they went to talk to the Buddha.

Such a big thing happened, Li Qingyuan was severely beaten by Guan Yeyue for a few days, and he slept in the guest room all the time, and he was teased by Gu Tianli and others for several days about this matter.

On October 20, Morgan called him to report the good news: "Qingyuan's oil futures have been safely closed, and a total of 66.7 billion US dollars in profits have been obtained. Congratulations, Qingyuan, you have become the richest man in the world. ”

"Morgan, I'm not interested in being the richest man in the world or anything, but is this profit less than expected?" Morgan closed the oil futures in hand earlier than he thought, and it seemed that he had to go to the research star, and its level unlock requirements were met.

"Yes, in order to avoid being blocked, I dispersed the contract, it took a long time to spread the funds on hand, the contract fee alone cost 300 million US dollars, and then I left the market early before the oil price peaked, the profit margin was not as high as expected, but at least it was safe. ”

"That's fine, with such a huge amount of money, you will first scatter it around and continue to invest in oil futures, and oil prices will rise, but be careful not to enter the market before March next year. ”

"No problem, just during this time, I can put some of my money into bank acquisitions, and I can't wait to see the moment when Helium Star Investment Bank becomes a super giant bank!"

"You are slowly looking forward to the future, I still have to hang up in advance!"

Hanging up the phone, Li Qingyuan couldn't wait to go to the Xixi headquarters, the helium headquarters named "Zhanfan" by Guan Yeyue had been completed, and the new titanium chrome alloy building materials really had an irresistible advantage.

When he arrived at the Yanxing Factory, Li Qingyuan sent Gu Tianli and others to guard outside the factory, and walked in himself.

Now in the factory, except for the large elevator in the center of the field, all the robot assistants have disappeared without a trace, and the huge factory building is empty, and Li Qingyuan can only go inside.

When I came to the elevator, the small elevator telescopic door that could be used for personnel to travel automatically opened, and Yanxing's sonorous metal voice sounded: "Brother Li, please take the elevator to the underground space!"

Hearing this, Li Qingyuan glanced at the inside of the elevator, the four-square-meter space was full of metallic luster, which looked no different from ordinary elevators, but it was full of science and technology.

Li Qingyuan stepped into the elevator, the telescopic door closed automatically, the metal wall on the right side flashed brightly, and the manifestation of the metal egg state of Yanxing greeted him above: "Welcome Brother Li to Xiaoxing's base!"

"Xiaoxing, you don't even have a button in this elevator, how do you use it?" Li Qingyuan looked around left and right but didn't find the selection button, and couldn't help but ask.

"As long as Brother Li sticks his palm against the metal wall, he can choose the level he wants to go to. ”

Li Qingyuan did as he said, his palm was attached to the metal wall, and a white light swept under his palm, and a light screen was displayed on the wall, with only two options on it, and the numbers 1 and 2 framed in a circle were nothing else.

Li Qingyuan casually clicked on the circle of number 1, the blue light in the circle lit up, he didn't feel any difference, and after a slight weightlessness, the telescopic door opened.

The space was white, Li Qingyuan didn't see the light source, but the surroundings were lit, the bright light was not dazzling, everything was displayed in front of his eyes

, 300 meters wide and 500 meters long space made him unable to see things in the distance, but vaguely full of robot assistant activities.

In the middle of the space, there are several circular pillars that are at least five meters thick, supporting this space, and visually measuring the interval between each pillar is about fifty meters, Li Qingyuan's heart is shocked beyond words.

At this moment, a robot with four wheels came up to him, stretched out its slender robotic arm, pinched the hem of his clothes and pulled at it, and then patted the empty seat behind the mechanical body, motioning for him to sit down.

Looking at the robot with small arms and legs in front of him, Li Qingyuan was afraid that he would sit it badly, so he patted its head, stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and walked forward with his legs.

The little robot leads the way ahead, and as the wheels roll, the little head sways from side to side from time to time, and occasionally turns the little head to look at him.

Along the way, Li Qingyuan watched the flowers and flowers, and he didn't understand what these robots were producing, as a liberal arts man, what these science men did was incomprehensible to him.

In the deepest part of the space, there is a chair made of metal against the wall, like an iron throne, the back of the chair is at least three meters high, the wide chair surface can hold Li Qingyuan and a whole person, there is a semicircular tray in front of the lilac armrest on the right side of the chair, and Yan Xing, who is shining brightly, stays quietly on the tray.

Li Qingyuan sat on the huge chair, patted the metal-like egg top, and asked, "Xiaoxing, the third level has been unlocked, is there any good news to tell Brother Li?"

"Report Brother Li, after the third level is unlocked, the helium advanced civilian technology is opened, and the helium star advanced military technology mini nuclear fusion reactor and subsidiary technology are additionally obtained. ”

"Then you can give Brother Li a good introduction to these technologies. Li Qingyuan leaned back to the back of the chair, and the original metallic back changed shape with his support, supporting his back in the shape that he was most comfortable with.

"Helium's advanced civil technology has completely surpassed the technology on earth, from basic processing to high-precision civil aviation equipment, Xiaoxing can already manufacture independently. From mobile terminals suitable for personal wear to in-ground aircraft for long-range transportation, there are no technical defects. ”

Mobile terminal manufacturing is the technology that Li Qingyuan needs, but he can't take a large transport plane, this thing will die when he sees the light, and if he takes it out, he will be pulled to be dissected as a specimen.

"Xiaoxing's miniature nuclear fusion reactor, is there the current conditions to make it?" Li Qingyuan asked with a grin, this is another technology that will see the light die.

"Of course, at present, the power consumption of the helium star factory is huge, and the power supply in Lin'an City can no longer support Xiaoxing's energy consumption. ”

"Although miniature fusion reactors can be made, where do the nuclear materials come from? This thing is a controlled material, and you can't buy it if you want to. ”

"There is a seawater desalination equipment in the advanced civilian technology unlocked this time, as long as Xiaoxing adds deuterium and tritium refining equipment to this set of equipment, he can refine nuclear materials deuterium and tritium in the process of seawater desalination. ”

Yes, this little guy is getting more and more ghostly, and he knows how to hide people's eyes and ears.

"According to what you said, Helium Star Group is about to register another company to operate a desalination plant, how much time does it take to manufacture such a set of equipment

How much does it cost?

"Brother Li, the desalination plant can be large or small, mainly to see the amount of fresh water converted, as far as Xiaoxing knows, Huaxia is currently not investing much in the desalination project, the cost of desalination of seawater needs 5-8 Huaxia coins per ton, the input is not proportional to the output, if the helium star group is involved in this project, it can bring a lot of income to the group, after all, the desalination equipment of helium star has technical advantages. ”

Hearing that there is money to be made and can solve the problem of the source of nuclear materials, Li Qingyuan became interested and asked: "What is the cost of desalination of seawater with our desalination equipment?"

"If we take the construction of a 100,000-ton-per-day desalination plant as the standard, remove the initial investment in desalination plants and equipment, and the rest of the costs include: manpower, electricity and maintenance and replacement of desalination membranes, among which the depreciation expenses of equipment made of new materials are basically negligible, so our production cost is about 1.3 Huaxia yuan per ton. This production cost is mainly generated by electricity consumption, and if Brother Li adds a mini nuclear fusion reactor to the desalination plant to provide electricity, then the production cost will be negligible. ”

A seawater desalination plant with a daily output of 100,000 tons can desalinate 36.5 million tons of fresh water throughout the year, and if it is sold for 3 yuan per ton of fresh water, then the annual profit will be more than 60 million, which is also a lot of income.

"Okay, Xiaoxing, I basically understand, you tell me, the conditions for unlocking the next level!"

"Brother Li, unlocking the fourth level requires you to gain great social prestige and become a leader in the Huaxia business world. ”

He sat up cross-legged and became a leader in the Chinese business community? Is this difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it is not easy to say, the only problem is that if he wants to gain great social prestige and become a leader of the Chinese business community, he must come to the fore and stand in the eyes of all the mass media, which refutes his original intention.

Li Qingyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at the underground space built by Yanxing, the robot assistant was working in an orderly manner, this was Yanxing's robot legion, and it was his confidence that Li Qingyuan was there, and it was a big deal to work with all the people who were hostile to him.

If you don't have to choose, don't choose, he Li Qingyuan is afraid of who will come!

Sitting down and deciding in his heart, Li Qingyuan was full of pride, and said loudly: "Xiaoxing, increase the development of underground space, increase the reserve of humanoid robot assistants, develop the combat function of humanoid robots, and develop simulated human skin, I want to make the appearance of the robot look like a real human!"

"Brother Li, there is a ready-made technology in Helium Star Advanced Technology, but robots with combat functions cannot be developed, unless Brother Li unlocks Helium Star Military Technology. ”

Li Qingyuan, who was just a little arrogant, was immediately hit mercilessly by Yanxing, but he was not discouraged, and asked: "Since the combat function cannot be developed yet, is it feasible to let these robots be used as scientific research robots?"

"These robots have no intelligence and can't work with ordinary people!"

"No, Xiaoxing, the little robot who led me just now looks very spiritual, and knows how to look back at me!"

"That's the only little guy in the nearly 10,000 assistants I made that 'Xiao Qi' has produced primary intelligence, but its intelligence is still too low to provide much help to Brother Li. ”

In this case, Li Qingyuan no longer insists on it, in the final analysis, people still have to rely on themselves!
