Chapter 166, Half a Year to Regenerate Oil? Too slow!

Kusataro Cretsuki, a researcher at the Miyamoto 301 Research Institute, is 28 years old, a junior genius with a double doctorate at the University of Tokyo, with an IQ of 143, and is just a stone's throw away from entering the Mensah Club. He has been involved in the reverse reduction project of petroleum products since two years ago, and now he has become an elite team leader, leading many companions to work the project.

Today was supposed to be an ordinary day, they were going to test the product's ability to decompose again, but before the work began, the director led a young girl to break in. Kusataro is having a headache for the slow progress of the project.,I wanted to blame the leader for a few sentences.,But I was unexpectedly informed.,The beautiful girl in front of me is the future owner!

Just as he instinctively looked at Midon, Midon was also looking at him.

It's not easy to deal with a thin man with glasses, a nerd with wandering eyes, especially a female member who has strayed into his private territory, let alone a young girl. Although he hasn't spoken yet, Midong can fully expect what he will think of himself, the so-called straight man in the true sense, he must be more suitable for this title than his uncle.

"It's an honor to meet you, Crescent Moon."

Midong nodded to him calmly, and said first: "I heard that you are a double doctor of the University of Tokyo, please allow me to call you a senior, because in September this year, I will also go to the graduate school of the University of Tokyo to study finance." So, you are in charge of this pilot project? ”

"Ah...... Well, yes. ”

The right to speak was snatched by the other party, and Kusataro suddenly held back all the speeches he had planned, and subconsciously nodded: "I am the leader of the product testing team, that is, when the group of waste hands over their things, I will measure their qualification." ”

"Uh-huh, Crescent Moon!"

The director was following alongside, and his face was extremely ugly at this time: "You can't judge your colleagues like this!" Also, in front of Miss Miyamoto, pay attention to politeness! ”

"But what they're sending is rubbish, Miss Miyamoto, and you'll think so if you've seen the test."

Kusataro was really unceremonious, and held his glasses and said: "We are about to conduct a new round of testing, why don't you take a tour and see how inefficient the garbage they create!" ”

Mei Dong smiled gracefully, covered her mouth and said, "No problem, Xinyue-san, then I will bother you to show it." ”

Sure enough, he is a nerd with a very personality, so he can exert his strength in this kind of field the most, and when Midong saw this, not only did he not blame him for being rude, but he was also full of interest in this young man. Then, the test work began non-stop, and she was led by Kusataro to a complex and huge precision instrument.

It is a metal round-bottomed platform covered with a hemispherical tempered glass cover and a metal pipe that extends from top to bottom, while the port is closed. As a typical test subject, Kusataro placed a plastic garbage bag inside, then closed the glass door and opened the port of the conveyor pipe.

"Our reverse reduction project is based on this black viscous substance, which is the garbage product ...... made by the R&D department."

The black liquid, which was the color of crude oil, began to flow out very slowly, condensing into a huge droplet of water through the drooping fracture, and it took five seconds for it to drip down. Crescent Moon closed the valve in the next second, and he, like Midon, began to stare at the liquid silently.

The plastic bag is a newly opened product folded in multiple layers, about a millimeter thick, and it is a lovely pink color. The sticky oil dripped, slowly spreading out, and began to slowly penetrate each layer of the bag, staining it all black.

"The current process is that the conversion solution is eroding the raw material to be transformed, that is, destroying its original molecular chain deconstruction. The speed of this step is still very fast, and as you can see, the plastic bag is quickly turning black. ”

Indeed, the volume of the huge oil droplets is indeed not small, probably the same as the tips of a woman's little fingers, and at this time, it is expanding wildly like termites eating wood, drenching the entire plastic bag into charcoal-like black, which is by no means the same as the corrosion of strong acids. Soon, the thin wad of plastic bags became crisp and tearable to the touch like air-dried straw paper.

"The speed is very good, I'm looking at the time, it took three minutes."

Midong directly picked his head at the timer next to him: "This is obviously not efficient, so what really takes time is the next step?" ”

"Yes, that's it."

Kusataro Shinzuki was quite surprised, a little girl who was about to study finance knew so much about his biochemical experiments, it seemed that he was really not brainless!

"The current three minutes are the process of the transformation solution destroying the original molecular chain of the reactive substance, and this speed is indeed very fast. But the real difficulty lies in the fact that it also needs to recombine the crushed elementary particles into the constituent substances of crude oil, that is, various alkanes, naphthenes, aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. ”

He pointed to the circular metal chassis of the container and said, "The reconstitution of matter requires energy support, and since the beginning of the experiment, this chassis has been providing a high temperature of about 800 degrees. You might be wondering if we can't raise the temperature any more, but in fact we've tried it, and even heated it to 3000 degrees with a tungsten alloy chassis, but it has no effect on the reaction speed. ”

"Three minutes of breaking molecular chains, 300,000 minutes of regenerative petroleum-like substances, you can't imagine how rubbish its efficiency is. 30,000 minutes, that's 5,000 hours! You might think that we can take as much time as we do to produce soy sauce or sake brewing...... But that's soy sauce and sake brewing, and it's industrial production! ”

5000 hours......

Midong let out a long sigh, including the director who led the way next to him, and the other researchers around him, who were not.

Which industrial large-scale production company will slowly free up 5,000 hours of your time?

"In other words, the materials processed today will not be converted into crude oil-like substances until more than half a year later. If this is really just brewing and making soy sauce, it is really easy to say that it is enough to give up the initial cost input stage, but in the case of industrial production, how much will it cost to have 180 "giant conversion tanks"? ”

Mei Dong's words were really to the point, and the director also responded on the side: "That's right, and you must know that the converted substance is like crude oil, so there are also the cost of oil refining equipment and storage tanks, as well as the cost of the site." Unless there is really no oil to extract in this world, no oil tycoon would want to go around such a big circle. ”

"Unless it's the dump operator who is responsible for supplying the crude oil, and then the oil tycoon buys it?"

Midong chuckled, just like the people around her: "180 giant conversion tanks...... Okay, we're really going to have to work on the catalyst, so get on with it, and I'll do the job of getting talent. ”
