"How is that possible? How can we be short of money? Hou Zhong, you can't look at me, right? We're billionaires, so that's just a few days old? How can we be short of money?"
Jin San couldn't accept it, the reason why he reacted so strongly was because he believed that Hou Zhong couldn't joke about it, and it was impossible to lie to him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing Wang Liang come back to be busy again, Hou Zhong lowered his voice: "Boss, it's too expensive for us to build a battleship."
"Battleship? What are you talking about?" Jin San was a little confused.
Hou Zhongdao: "Space carrier, boss, didn't you ask you to prepare materials and plan to copy one according to the Hope?" We're ready now, and we've found a huge sea to make overall arrangements, but even so, our little money isn't enough to toss a few times. ”
"What do you mean by that money? We have more than 350 billion. Jin San still couldn't believe it.
Hou Zhong smiled bitterly: "How much is 350 billion? The US dollar is only more than 50 billion, and such a small amount of money can make a small splash if it is thrown into the international metal futures market. ”
"You're bluffing me, aren't you? More than $50 billion can only make a small splash?"
"I'm still saying it nicely, I'm showing you a piece of information, and you'll know after reading this." After Hou Zhong finished speaking, he used his biological brain to send a piece of information to Jin San again.
After the pass was over, he no longer paid attention to Jin San, but watched Wang Liang cooking again.
Wang Liang scalded the fish, stir-fried the bean sprouts and potato chips, set them aside, got up a pot, and boiled a pot of boiled fish broth. I put some small rape or other greens in it.
He put the bean sprouts and potato chips he had just fried in them and boiled them for a while, and then poured the pot of soup into the large pot of boiled fish that he had prepared next to him. And the fish was stacked on top of each other.
At this time, he poured about half a catty of oil into the pot, and neatly poured a pot of fried chili pepper oil into the pot of boiled fish, and suddenly the whole street was full of spicy smell, this smell came to the nose, very strong, and immediately made the people sitting outside in the cool all snort.
"Whew, that's it!" Wang Liang made the boiled fish. Seeing that the grilled fish was almost ready, it was also served, and then it was fried two green vegetables and stewed a fish.
The people next to Jin San didn't have his thoughts, and when people saw the food, they no longer cared about Jin San, but Jin San frowned.
He never felt like he was a poor man. And at this time, he really felt it.
He wants to build a mothership, build a brand new mothership, because he has the money and the ability to do it.
Even if it is a difficult alloy material, he has a super biological brain with powerful divine sense. to complete the refining steps that can only be completed by a Qi practitioner using his divine sense, and help him make the high-grade alloy materials used for refining weapons.
In this way, not only did he come out, but he was also able to mass-produce high-grade alloys, and even the energy life essence that originally restricted the use of the biological intelligence brain was now solved. But he never imagined that he would be stumped on the most basic link.
Right now. He just built a battleship, and he didn't have enough raw materials.
He has money, he can buy it, he has a lot of mining plants, he can mine for himself, so he has never worried about raw materials, but this time it is different, this time it is really wrong.
Copper-tungsten alloy is worthy of being a high-grade alloy material, and this kind of material is more than enough to refine flying swords, and it is naturally best used to build space battleships.
But Jin San never thought that tungsten ore was so expensive, and he felt distressed in his liver.
The price of first-grade wolframite concentrate with a content of more than 65 is 88,000 yuan/ton, which is basically 8.9-90,000 yuan/ton, which is within his acceptable range and is also his estimated price.
But how much wolframite concentrate he bought now, and other tungsten ores with higher purity traded on the market were a little frightened when he looked at them.
The price of tungsten ore with purity of 99.95 is 2-30,000/kg, the price of tungsten ore with purity of 99.96 is 4-50,000/kg, and the price of tungsten ore with purity of 99.97 is about 100,000/kg, and the price of tungsten ore with purity of 99.99 is about 170,000/kg.
Such a sky-high price is something that Jin San really didn't expect, even if it is the price of one thousand tons, it is a huge burden, let alone 170 million tons.
You must know that a 100,000-ton space carrier, if Jin San directly uses the floating array to offset the gravity of the space carrier, it will increase the material consumption by twenty times.
That is to say, to build a 100,000-ton space carrier, even if only copper-tungsten alloy is used to build the outer shell of the space carrier, and only copper-tungsten alloy accounts for one-tenth of the entire hull, it will require 200,000 tons of copper and tungsten.
If it is divided according to the ratio of one to three, with three parts of copper, there must be one part of tungsten, so that 200,000 tons of copper-tungsten alloy needs 50,000 tons of tungsten ore with a purity of 100%.
If you directly buy tungsten ore with a purity of 99.99 percent, the price of 170,001 kilograms can make Jin San vomit blood.
One ton of tungsten ore of this purity costs 170 million, and 50,000 tons is 8.5 trillion yuan.
Even if you buy tungsten ore with a purity of 65% and refine it yourself, it will cost 1340,000 yuan for every ton of pure tungsten extracted, so that 140,000 times 50,000 is 7 billion.
That is to say, even if you buy low-purity tungsten ore to refine it yourself, just to build the shell of a space carrier, it will cost 7 billion yuan, which is not high, but with this money, it will definitely not be so easy to buy tungsten ore.
Tungsten is a vital but tightly supplied resource and a hard metal that is hard to obtain.
Tungsten is one of the hardest materials in the world, and it is extremely versatile, in addition to vacuum tube filaments, incandescent filaments, and is also widely used in cemented carbide tools, half of tungsten is used for this purpose.
Tungsten ore is also used in oil and gas exploration "hard steel" drill bits, rocket engine nozzles and cathode ray tubes, etc., which have irreplaceable importance in this aspect of the salary.
The main thing is that this metal has an extraordinary ability to withstand extreme heat, especially high heat, which is an important reason why Jinsan uses copper-tungsten alloy to build the warship shell.
In space warfare, energy weapons are the first choice, due to space voyages and logistical troubles, strategic weapons are generally high-power energy weapons, and most of them are laser weapons.
Tungsten can withstand high temperatures, especially high heat, and such materials naturally have an innate advantage in defending against laser weapon attacks.
Jin San knows the benefits of tungsten, and naturally no one in other forces is stupid, and people know the benefits of tungsten, and tungsten is being increasingly applied to new technologies.
Its high hardness, high stability, and resistance to extreme temperatures make it an ideal material for electrodes and components used in touch screens.
With the explosive application of touchscreen technology in smartphones and tablet devices, the world's demand for tungsten has increased dramatically from the original annual growth rate of 6.
Applications have increased, but the problem is that tungsten ore supply has not kept up.
China is a big country of tungsten resources, its reserves account for about 47 of the world's total reserves, there are more than 90 state-owned mines above the county level, with an annual mining capacity of 70,000 tons.
And Jin San needs at least 50,000 tons to build a warship, so much tungsten, Jin San is impossible to buy, at least it is impossible to buy in a short time.
If the domestic and foreign forces know what Jinsan is buying tungsten ore for, then it is even more impossible for him to buy such a large amount of tungsten.
China's tungsten production accounts for more than 80% of the world's total output, so in this regard, Jinsan also has a bit of an advantage.
However, because the domestic people of insight see the strategic position of tungsten ore, so the domestic tungsten export has been greatly reduced, and now it has become a net importer of this precious metal, so that even if Jinsan buys tungsten ore in China, there is not much advantage.
Jin San wants to buy a large amount of tungsten ore, so it is naturally best to buy it in China, but Jin San does not have a good foundation in China, so he has no way to buy much low-cost tungsten.
China is now the world's largest exporter of tungsten gold, usually the purity of tungsten gold should be above 99.95, and must issue an authoritative inspection and analysis test report, such as: the national non-ferrous metals and electronic materials analysis and testing center analysis and test report, before export.
The lowest price of such tungsten ore is about 30,000 yuan per kilogram, which is something that Jin San can't accept at all, and he can't afford it at all.
There is no one in this world who is stupid, it turns out that the country is poor, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt, and a large amount of foreign exchange is needed to buy the products needed in the country, but everyone will be heartbroken if they sell resources at such a low price.
So now that the domestic economy has developed, there will naturally be no such thing as a cub selling his grandfather's heart.
It is clear which of the high added value of 65 percent tungsten ore with a price of less than 100,000 yuan per ton or more than 170,000 yuan per kilogram of tungsten ore has high added value.
With so many times the profits, it is impossible for even a fool to sell low value-added minerals.
With so many restrictions, it is also troublesome for Jinsan to calculate if he wants to buy enough tungsten ore.
Now if you want to buy enough tungsten ore, the only way is to buy tungsten ore, but now the domestic tungsten ore enterprises are complicated, and have been carved up by some big forces, it is already difficult to control, unless you get the right to prospect and explore tungsten ore resources by yourself.
Even so, it would be a lot of trouble for Jin San to sit up now, and if this was the nineties, it might have been easy to do, when there were more than 150 large and small smelters in the country that produced ammonium paratungstate and tungsten oxide alone.
Among them, there are dozens of them in Jiangxi and Western Provinces, and tungsten mines have also set up smelters, from mining and beneficiation to smelting, repeated production, repeated construction, serious waste of national resources, some small factories can not meet the national environmental protection requirements, causing serious pollution to the environment.
