After rushing back to the farm, Li Sheng immediately found Feng Xiaoting to learn about the experimental progress of the stone frog extract. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this experiment, Li Sheng has promised to let the researchers from Huaxia fully participate. There is a lot of power in numbers, and the direction of the experiment has not been found wrong for the time being, so Feng Xiaoting gave him an optimistic result: "For the time being, those extracted substances can have an effect on experimental animals, but we still need a while to determine whether it will cause sequelae." ”

That said, everything was fine with the experiment. And he was relieved. This thing is no longer just medicine, nor is it just a tool to make money. More importantly, it could bring about a qualitative change in the human healthcare system. Li Sheng didn't want the project to fail. Of course, he also wants the interests of this project to be monopolized.

As soon as Li Sheng returned to the office, Zhang Dingbian was already waiting outside the door. It turned out that there were already more than fifty veterans from Huaxia who wanted to enter the security team of Silent Farm.

Li Sheng thought for a while and asked, "Can you trust it?"

This time, Zhang Dingbian couldn't give a positive answer. He hesitated and said, "It doesn't feel like a couple of veterans." ”

Li Sheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "These people let them come." You observe. ”

Zhang Dingbian knew what Li Sheng asked him to observe. He nodded and said, "Boss, don't worry." I'll take notice. ”

"Also, don't let them go to the lab and the production area to the north just yet. ”

Zhang Dingbian knew that the word "temporary" in his mouth meant before confirming that the newcomers really trusted. He nodded and said, "I understand." He paused. "The boss, as well as the American team members, also introduced six people. These people were all investigated by Mourning. There is no question of their identity. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Treat them the same as the new players from Huaxia." ”

After Zhang Dingbian left, Li Sheng called the persons in charge of other work to the office one by one to understand the situation. Knowing that everything was going well, he was truly at ease.

However, he received a call from Finn that night, saying that his team's analysis of the recent international crude oil market had been sent to his mailbox, and he hoped that he could read it as soon as possible. Their team will be in action in early April.

Li Sheng downloaded the analysis report and absentmindedly. He looked at the computer and thought to himself that it was indeed the small lake in space that could produce oil.

Before dawn the next day, Li Sheng entered the space. When he flew over the small lake, the air smelled of oil and gas. The volatilization of oil and gas here is very serious. If the terrain of this small basin is still relatively open, it may be an extremely dangerous area, and a little spark can turn the air here into a bomb.

The small lake is pot-shaped and almost round. Hundreds of meters of water with a layer of viscous crude oil of less than half a meter floating on it. He wanted to find out where the bottom of the lake was leaking. It turned out that he couldn't find it at all.

Although he did find a few springs at the bottom of the lake, there was still quite a bit of water. Several springs add up to at least fifteen cubic meters of water per second. It's just that he wonders where all this water goes?

It took him two days to carefully examine the entire bottom of the lake, and he found no underground outlets. In addition, the groundwater level in the surrounding area is the same as the water level of this lake, so there is no need to replenish the surrounding groundwater.

The only outlet of the lake does not flow more than three meters per second at most. Where did the remaining ten cubic meters of water go?

He had a vague guess in his mind.

When he could not sense the crude oil gushing out of the spring, but found that he sensed some small droplets of oil at a certain depth, his judgment was basically confirmed.

His previous guess was wrong. The crude oil on the surface of the lake does not come from the ground, but is produced by the lake's water. He speculated that there was a bacterium in the lake that used nutrients brought in by groundwater to metabolize, and their metabolites were the hydrocarbons that form petroleum.

Carbon and water are required for the synthesis of these hydrocarbons. As a result, the water in the lake is constantly replenished, but not enough water is leaking out. Some of the hydrocarbons produced by the lake water are directly gases and are dispersed in the air, and some volatile components are also dissipated into the air. So there may be a lot of fossil products being produced in the lake every day. A lot of them also escaped.

A technology that has the potential to produce crude oil artificially is, of course, more valuable than an oil field. If that's the case, it should be a big surprise. It's just that until it's certain, everything is still speculation.

It wasn't hard to verify his guesses. But this is not something he can do alone. Feng Xiaoting is still his first choice.

He took some water out of the depth where small oil droplets were generated from the small lake, and then called Feng Xiaoting to the villa.

Feng Xiaoting was not excited when he first heard that he might have discovered a way to produce crude oil artificially. He just said to Li Sheng, "Are you going to do that kind of experiment? When I was in the United States, I went to a factory that used cow dung to produce crude oil. There is still some understanding of this aspect. ”

Cow dung?

Li Sheng knew that he had misunderstood. The United States had already invented the production of crude oil from cow dung, and he had heard about it. But the water he found from that little lake clearly didn't need cow dung. As for how much the unit production is, he also can't assess.

He simply said, "There doesn't seem to be any obvious organic matter in the water." But it seems that the bacteria in this water need to be at a pressure of eight to twenty atmospheres to form oil. "He can still determine the depth of the water that produces small oil droplets.

Feng Xiaoting became interested when he heard this, and asked, "Are you sure that oil can be formed at only eight atmospheres?"

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "It's basically certain." Also, the bacteria in this body of water should be anaerobic and do not need light. ”

Feng Xiaoting nodded and said, "I'll take this water back to the laboratory for some analysis first." "If the bacteria in this water can really metabolize crude oil, then there must be some substances. Matter cannot be created out of nothing. The carbon atom in the alkylate must have a carbon source. And organic matter is a very good source of carbon. Of course, it could also be carbon dioxide. As long as these are analyzed, it is possible to roughly understand what kind of carbon source needs to be used in this water body.

When he went to the Southern District with Feng Xiaoting, he went to his office, found Zhang Feng and his wife, and told them about the recipe for treating rheumatism.

"Lao Zhang, Aunt Luo, that's the way it is. We're going to buy your formula. Li Sheng said. "I don't know what you mean?"

Zhang Feng glanced at Aunt Luo, who was smiling toothless, and knew that his wife had no objection, so he said, "Boss, we are willing to sell formulas." ”

Li Sheng heard him say this, nodded, and said slowly: "Then let's talk about the price of this formula." I have two options here, one is that I will pay you a one-time buyout fee, which is more than money, and I will transfer it to you as soon as the contract is signed. The other is that my company in Huaxia will give you a certain percentage of the sales of this medicinal wine as patent royalties. And this money will not be given to you until the end of the annual sales statistics. ”

He paused and asked, "Do you think that's appropriate?"

Zhang Feng didn't think about it, and said, "Let's choose the latter way." ”

Li Sheng smiled and said, "That's good." Then let's talk about this share now. I intend to give 2% of the sales as royalties. What do you think?"

Zhang Feng and Aunt Luo glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. Zhang Feng nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Li Sheng was a little stunned, he smiled and said, "I still want to bargain with you." ”

Zhang Feng also smiled and said: "If it weren't for you, boss, maybe we would have used this formula ourselves, and now we can get some income because of this thing, why are we not satisfied." ”

Aunt Luo also said: "No, young people nowadays don't believe in traditional Chinese medicine, maybe this prescription will be gone." ”

"That's not what I said. Li Sheng shook his head and said.

"Boss. This recipe might be good. But I think the bees you have here are the most important thing. I used to brew this medicinal wine in my hometown, but I still used tiger bees, and the effect was not as good as here. Zhang Feng said with a smile. "The boss now gives us a 2% share and we've earned it. ”

Li Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'm welcome." However, this matter still needs to adjust Aunt Luo's work. You look at the bees, what other medicinal materials do you need, Aunt Luo, you have to be responsible for leading someone to help me find it. I plan to plant on the farm, and I will leave this matter to Aunt Luo in the future. Do you think about it?"

When Aunt Luo heard this, she glanced at Zhang Feng, saw him nod, and hurriedly said, "Boss, you can rest assured." I'll help you find all the herbs. I don't know this herb though. You see......"

"There is no difference between Chinese herbs and growing herbs. Li Sheng said with a smile. "You take some young people who have studied agriculture with you. Let them help without a problem. ”

The main thing about growing this thing is careful observation. As long as the rules are observed and summarized, there is no problem with herbal cultivation.

After negotiating the matter, Li Sheng asked the farm's legal counsel to go on a trip, and he signed a patent licensing agreement with Zhang Feng and Aunt Luo.

After this matter was completed, Aunt Luo's work was immediately adjusted, but Li Sheng did not have to worry about these things personally. He replied to Finn first.

In Finn's plan, it was hoped that Li Sheng would agree to him to use his funds to go long with eight or even ten times the leverage. But he felt it was too risky. Although he thinks it is possible that OPEC will agree to cut crude oil production. But no one knows when this agreement will be reached.

So he asked Luo Zheng to help take a look at the operation, which was four times the leverage. If Finn is allowed to operate with more than eight times leverage, leaving $2 billion in reserves to prevent liquidation, he will lose all his money as long as the oil price falls by $20.

He didn't want to take that risk. So he asked Finn to operate with a maximum of five times the leverage. And he also told Ali his thoughts. As for what Ali will judge, he can't control. (To be continued.) )
