The war between Capcom and Sony's Microsoft alliance is destined to be a protracted war, because due to various concerns, it is impossible for either side to really shake out the reasons why they are tearing up, so they can only slowly accuse each other in the media.

But although this tearing war is destined to be fruitless, the strange thing is that whether it is Capcom or Sony Microsoft, they actually recognize this situation.

In Sony's eyes, this has played a role in killing chickens and monkeys, not only pulling out the disobedient nail of Capcom, but also giving a warning to other game manufacturers who are about to move, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Capcom was happy to accept this result, because through a series of tearing battles, they succeeded in making players change their so-called demanding and arrogant impression of Capcom, so that these players no longer blame themselves ********.

At the same time, the series of confrontations with Tong Guò also disguised Capcom, a banned game manufacturer, still appears in the media from time to time, so that when they really announce their cooperation with the Asgard console, it will also attract more attention.

As a result, the two sides continued to accuse each other in this secret tacit understanding.

……

Wang Xiao didn't care too much about what happened to Capcom in Japan, because he received a call from the military, or the navy to be exact.

"Minister Zhang, are you saying that the navy wants desalination technology?"

Wang Xiao asked with some surprise, "Shouldn't this kind of technology be wanted by the government?" ”

Desalination refers to the process of obtaining fresh water from seawater for direct human use by means of guò.

And about the technology of seawater desalination, in fact, as early as hundreds of years ago, but the real rapid development of seawater desalination technology still has to start from the fifties of the last century, after half a century of development and application, the current formation of multi-stage flash evaporation, reverse osmosis and multi-effect evaporation as the main representative of the industrial technology, of which reverse osmosis method with the rapid development of ion exchange membrane technology, in the desalination market is accounting for more and more proportion.

After the last upgrade, Wang Xiao already has all the scientific and technological knowledge known in the world, including seawater desalination technology, and under the effect of supernatural powers, Wang Xiao can also use the power of science and technology to change the seawater desalination equipment of an era higher than the existing technology.

Therefore, in the face of the military's needs, Wang Xiao was not worried that he would not be able to come up with the technology, but was a little strange about the navy's request.

"We wanted to install a relatively small desalination plant on the island."

Zhang Junshan didn't say much, just explained a little.

"Island?"

Although Zhang Junshan didn't say much, the word "island" still flashed a flash of inspiration in Wang Xiao's mind, and he couldn't help but think of the Philippine coast guard's arrest of Chinese fishermen a few days ago.

According to the Philippine Coast Guard in the news, the Chinese fisherman's boat was in Philippine territorial waters and flying the Philippine flag, and tried to escape after ramming the coast guard vessel, but was blocked by another coast guard ship in the process of escaping.

At that time, this incident was in a uproar in China, and even Wang Xiao had heard about it.

And now, Zhang Junshan is asking himself for seawater desalination technology, which has to make Wang Xiao not connect the two.

"That'...... I don't know what level of desalination equipment you plan to have, Minister Zhang? ”

Wang Xiao asked casually.

"Can you provide the finished product?"

Hearing Wang Xiao's words, Zhang Junshan was also stunned, if Wang Aiguo could come up with desalination technology, Zhang Junshan would not feel strange at all, but if the other party could directly take out the desalination equipment, it would surprise Zhang Junshan, after all, this kind of thing is not a standing item.

"Hehe, Minister Zhang probably forgot, as long as Wang Aiguo is willing, he can come up with any finished product of science and technology products!"

Wang Xiao pretended to be calm and said, "Why don't you give the military a device that desalinates 1,000 tons of seawater per day?" A thousand tons of fresh water per day should be enough for the daily life of more than five thousand or even ten thousand soldiers, as well as some other uses. ”

"1,000 tons ......"

Zhang Junshan sighed slightly, "The amount of water is enough for the soldiers, but how big is the area of this equipment?" What about power consumption? ”

From Wang Xiao's words, Zhang Junshan heard that Wang Xiao had guessed where he wanted to use the desalination equipment he requested, so he didn't hide it.

"The area is not large, if the equipment is directly placed on the ground, it covers an area of about two or three hundred square meters, and as for the power consumption, one ton of water is about one kilowatt-hour of electricity."

Wang Xiao thought about it for a while and replied.

"Multi-...... How much? ”

Hearing Wang Xiao's answer, Zhang Junshan almost stared out his eyes.

Covers an area of only two or three hundred square meters?

It takes one kilowatt-hour of electricity to desalinate a ton of fresh water?

What an international joke are you making!

At present, the amount of seawater desalinated on the earth every day is about 50 million tons, and the majority of it is the Middle East, and therefore, the latest area of international Shanghai desalination technology is the Middle East, but even the most advanced seawater desalination equipment in the Middle East covers an area of several thousand square meters.

Of course, it doesn't matter what area you occupy, but it's a bit of a brag that you can dilute a meal of fresh water with one kilowatt-hour of electricity, right?

After receiving the request of the Navy, Zhang Junshan once consulted relevant information, even if the most advanced seawater desalination equipment is used to desalinate seawater on a large scale, the electricity consumption per ton of fresh water is about 3.6 kWh!

But what about Wang Xiao?

Directly increased the desalination ability by nearly four times!

Zhang Junshan really suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Wang Xiao knew what the other party was thinking when he heard Zhang Junshan's reaction, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Minister Zhang, are you doubting Wang Aiguo's technical strength?" ”

"Uh...... Ahem, of course not. ”

Zhang Junshan was inevitably a little embarrassed when Wang Xiao directly broke his mind, and said: "The higher your scientific and technological level, the better. ”

You must know that the desalination equipment he is asking for now is to be used on the three major islands in the South China Sea, and there are isolated islands overseas, and electricity is not as convenient as on land on weekdays, and they all use oil motors to generate electricity.

According to their calculations, the average ton of oil can generate about 4,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, and if you use seawater desalination equipment in the Middle East, it can only desalinate 1,100 tons of seawater with a full ton of oil.

But with Wang Xiao's seawater desalination equipment, one ton of oil can desalinate 4,000 tons of seawater!

In this way, an average of more than 20 tons of oil can be saved every month, and the savings in a year are not a small number.

"By the way, I wonder when the Navy plans to need this desalination equipment?"

Wang Xiao asked directly.

"Naturally, the sooner the better."

Zhang Junshan hurriedly replied.

At present, the soldiers stationed on the border islands of the South China Sea are most worried about loneliness every day, nor the danger of enemy attacks that may be brought at any time, but the lack of fresh water!

Although the military has arranged for ships loaded with fresh water to replenish the island every day, it is still a little powerless in the face of the use of soldiers.

"Okay, I can provide you with these devices at any time, and the price will be calculated according to the market price......

Wang Xiao also said happily, "But I have one condition. ”

"Oh, on what terms?"

Hearing Wang Xiao say that the desalination equipment is calculated according to the market price, Zhang Junshan was overjoyed, but when he heard Wang Xiao say that there are still conditions, he couldn't help but mention it.

"I'm going to get the equipment to the island myself."

Wang Xiao said in a calm but resolute voice.

Since the conversation with Zhang Junshan just now, Wang Xiao has already ordered the avatar to go and find out which island needs desalination equipment, and just now, the avatar has heard the news that the island mentioned by Zhang Junshan is one of the three major islands in the South China Sea - Yongshu Island!

Even if there is no incarnation of the information about Yongshu Island, Wang Xiao knows a thing or two.

It is an artificial island, which is an artificial island with an area of 2.8 square kilometers created by the Chinese government blowing sand in just a few years.

And such an island full of military and strategic significance will not be open to ordinary people, so Wang Xiao became curious about it and decided to go to the island to see it in person.

"This ......"

Hearing Wang Xiao's request, Zhang Junshan couldn't help but hesitate, "I'm sorry, this request is beyond my handling authority, I need to report to the leader." ”

"Of course."

Wang Xiao nodded in agreement, and then said: "In addition, if your military agrees to my request, I can help you upgrade the desalination equipment a little." ”

"Upgrade?"

Zhang Junshan was stunned.

"Yes, I can add a little feature to this desalination plant......"

Wang Xiao said as if to say something simple, "It can desalinate seawater and produce salt directly for human consumption at the same time." ”

"It can't be!"

After hearing Wang Xiao's words, Zhang Junshan subconsciously blurted out, "These are two different processes, how can it be completed with one machine?" ”

Although seawater desalination and seawater salt production both use seawater, but the process of the two can be completely different, Zhang Junshan has never heard of this kind of equipment in the world that can refine salt while desalination seawater, not to mention that Wang Xiao said that it can still be used for human consumption of refined salt!

"Minister Zhang, a friendly reminder, never underestimate our scientific and technological strength."

Wang Xiao said lightly, "What you think is impossible, it is just a conclusion based on the current level of science and technology, but please don't use the existing backward technology on the earth to measure our scientific and technological strength, there are many things that seem to you to be like myths, but for us, they are just ordinary things." ”

After finishing speaking, Wang Xiao himself had to secretly give a thumbs up to his pretending table: "99 points!" The remaining 1 point is to encourage yourself not to be proud. ”

Sure enough, after hearing Wang Xiao's words, Zhang Junshan was speechless for a long time.
