"Don, what's going on with that sea mud mine you found?" The voice of President George W. Bush Jr. with an affectionate tone came over the phone.

Tang Feng secretly sighed and thought to himself: "This helium-3 thing is really more attractive to flies than Baba." Just a few minutes after the announcement was made, Bush, the most powerful person in the world, actually made a phone call in person. ”

After organizing his words slightly, Tang Feng said with a smile: "Jeb, you know, since Princess Belle Island rose above sea level, our surveyors have begun to survey the waters near Princess Belle Island for mineral resources. After all, this island is a typical volcanic island, and usually in the process of forming a volcanic island, along with the eruption of magma, there will be many valuable associated minerals. After more than three years of surveying, our surveyors have discovered some sea mud deposits containing strange elements in the seabed near Princess Belle Island at a depth of about 4,000 meters and in the mountains of part of the Great Tamu Volcano. Our experts have finally determined that this sea mud is indeed rich in natural helium-3. ”

The sound of little Bush gasping clearly sounded on the phone, which made Tang Feng a little unbearable. After all, it is the dignified president of the United States, and when he has this kind of gaffe, it can be seen that the helium-3 thing is really extremely attractive to major powers.

Indeed, if there is one best alternative to nuclear fuel in the world, it is helium-3.

Although there is another substance on the earth called "thorium", which is also an extremely efficient and clean alternative to nuclear fuel, thorium is still somewhat weak compared to helium-3.

In terms of energy conversion, one ton of thorium converts about the same amount of energy as 200 tons of uranium or 3.5 million tons of standard coal, and the nuclear waste produced by using thorium as nuclear fuel is only 0.6% of uranium.

But helium-3 is more efficient. One gram of helium-3 converts about 10,000 liters of gasoline into energy, that is, one ton of helium-3 is equivalent to 10.6 million tons of standard coal, which is almost three times that of thorium. Not to mention that if helium-3 is used as nuclear fuel, there will be no nuclear waste at all.

What's more, thorium is not able to be used to make nuclei. weapons. Helium-3 is used as a fourth-generation nucleus. The best material for weapons. From a military point of view, the importance of helium-3 is beyond doubt.

Because helium-3 is mainly derived from the solar wind, the earth is wrapped in a thick atmosphere, so the solar wind is excluded by the earth's atmosphere, so the solar wind rich in helium-3 rarely enters the earth. On the contrary, the density of the Moon's atmosphere is only 1/100 of the density of the Earth's atmosphere at sea level (minus 14 to the power of 10), which is almost none, so the solar wind can blow unscrupulously on the surface of the moon, and over time, this has formed an abundance of helium-3 on the moon.

It is precisely because the natural storage of helium-3 on Earth is so small, so although all scientists know that helium-3 is a good thing, the value of this thing is too high to really be used.

But now, a sea mud mine rich in helium-3 has suddenly appeared on the earth, how can this not move the heads of state of the major powers?

In fact, Mr. Bush Jr. became the first head of state of a major country to talk to Tang Feng because he started quickly. At the same time that Tang Feng and Bush Jr. were on the phone, there were also many heads of state calling, but unfortunately, Tang Feng was talking on the phone with the President of the United States, and the heads of state of these countries could only wait anxiously.

"Don, we're old friends, you must know this very well, right?"

Tang Feng smiled heartily: "Jeb, I have never forgotten this, and I will never forget it in the future." ”

"Well, since we have such a good relationship, and you're still a U.S. citizen, this helium-3 sea mud mine"

Tang Feng didn't wait for Bush Jr. to say it, once this kind of thing is exported, it is really not a refusal, and it is not a refusal, and it will directly let himself fall into passivity. So Tang Feng decided to simply turn the passive into the active and take the initiative in his own hands.

"Jeb, don't talk about those things yet, I know what you're going to say. For the sake of our friendship, I suggest that you don't open your mouth at this time, otherwise I will be very embarrassed. ”

"Then what do you say?" There was some dissatisfaction in George W. Bush's tone.

Tang Feng smiled and said, "Jebu, to be honest, after my subordinates discovered this helium-3 sea mud mine, I hesitated for a long time to consider whether to announce the news. Because I know very well that once this news is announced, I and Princess Belle Island will definitely become the focus of the world, and if I don't pay attention, it will even lead to some very regrettable tragic results. Honestly, I don't want to see anything bad happen because of this helium-3 mud mine. But helium-3 is the treasure of all human beings in the world, and if I hid it, I would be a sinner for all mankind. So after careful consideration, I decided to release this news. ”

"Don, I have to say that you are a person with great courage!" Little Bush gently patted Tang Feng's ass.

Tang Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Jebu, it is precisely because I have thought about it that I released this news, so I hope you can listen to the plan I have considered." ”

"Well, you say, you're a very smart guy, and I'm sure the plan you've come up with should be one that will satisfy everyone."

"That's right, Jeb, I'm thinking about this plan in the interests of the majority. For example, I will distribute the helium-3 produced by this helium-3 sea mud mine in proportion to the level of development and demand of each country. ”

Bush on the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he said: "Don, is there some lack of consideration in your approach?" ”

Tang Feng said: "Jeb, in terms of our friendship, I think there should be nothing that cannot be said between us. Actually, I know exactly what you mean, but I can tell you very clearly that it is impossible. I have to think about the entire Tang Clan's Anglo-American Caronal, and even more importantly, for Princess Belle Island, so there is absolutely no possibility for the United States to monopolize this sea mud mine. ”

There was silence again on the other end of the phone, and after a long time, George W. Bush said: "Don, you know I don't want to have any misunderstanding with you, but this sea mud mine is too important to the United States, so you have to think about it carefully." ”

"No, Jeb, you don't really recognize the current situation. Let me ask you, if I hand over this sea mud mine to the United States, what will Huaxia think? What does Russia think? What does France think? Maybe Britain will stand with the Americans, but don't forget, the United States is not the same in this world, and if I do that, maybe tomorrow the fleets and planes of China and Russia and even France will surround the entire Princess Belle Island. Jeb, do you think that with the strength of the United States, you can really resist the alliance of China and Russia? You want me to do this, have you really thought about me and Princess Belle Island? ”

After a long time, the phone rang with a somewhat weak voice: "Don, what do you want to do?" ”

The corners of Tang Feng's mouth curled up slightly (to be continued.) )
