Chapter 155: The Island Nation Seeks to Buy
The three of them briefly talked about a few things, and after getting a satisfactory answer, they left the marching ant company.
The news of the casualties of the earthquake in the island country has attracted the attention of the world.
One reason was that the earthquake was so big that it had to attract global attention, and the Fukushima nuclear accident became more serious and fearful. Another reason is that before the super earthquake came, the marching ant company had already given a prediction, but the casualties were still surprisingly large, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Ordinary people pay attention to the earthquake disaster, but the governments of various countries pay attention to the marching ant company. Earthquake prediction, one may be a coincidence, the second is not a coincidence.
Natural disasters are uncontrollable, and what they can do is to minimize casualties in disasters as much as possible. Now that the seismograph has come out, it is undoubtedly a great joy for countries with frequent earthquakes.
"The ambassador of the island nation contacted us." Xiao Yu walked into Chen Mo's laboratory and said softly, "They want to know about the seismograph." Sister Zhao didn't have an idea, let me come up and ask what you mean. ”
Chen Mo put the synthetic silicon carbon into the bottle and stopped the movement in his hand.
"We haven't returned our seismographs, and you still want to buy them? Hang them, don't give them an answer, wait for them to open up, send the seismometer back obediently, compensate us for our losses, and then talk about the seismograph, otherwise don't talk about it. Chen Mo said without thinking about it.
At the beginning, the seismograph was salvaged, and by the way, I wanted to pit the marching ant company. He is resentful, the island country disgusts him, and now it is his turn to disgust him.
He will never let go of such a good opportunity.
"Okay." Xiao Yu said.
In the past two days, the ambassadors of many countries have contacted the marching ant company.
The seismograph business, as Zhao Min said, is not to work for individuals or enterprises, their partners are based on the country.
In countries with frequent earthquake disasters, the losses caused by earthquakes are hundreds of millions every year. A tenth of these losses is enough to install seismographs to all corners of the country.
Therefore, as long as the seismograph is really mass-produced, he will not worry about no one buying it at all.
In addition to the need for an earthquake early warning network in China, there is another country that has shown strong purchase intentions: New Zealand in the South Pacific.
New Zealand is one of the countries most desperate to get a seismograph.
In recent years, the number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes around the world has increased significantly, and experts predict that the earth will move in the next few years, and it will be a year of earthquakes.
Scientists have found that the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand's largest fault, has been awakened from its slumber by the earthquake the year before. Experts predict that if there is activity on the three faults in New Zealand, New Zealand will have a devastating earthquake, the most terrifying of which is the tsunami that the earthquake could trigger.
So after the marching ant company confirmed that it could predict the earthquake, New Zealand couldn't wait to send someone over to negotiate with the marching ant company about the seismograph.
In addition to New Zealand, several other countries have also contacted them, but the price is too high and they are still hesitating. Chen Mo is not in a hurry, the output is not large now, first provide domestic networking, and the island country wants to buy it, depending on his mood.
After Xiao Yu left, Chen Mo continued to focus on the experimental equipment.
During this time, continuous experiments finally synthesized some superconducting materials at room temperature. However, in terms of purity, it is not up to the requirements. These materials are no problem to make ordinary conductors, but if you want to make superconducting chips, you need to purify ultra-temperature superconducting materials.
In order to save costs and achieve the purpose of mass production, the purity of the material must meet the requirements in the first synthesis process.
Embassy of the island nation.
Inada Tsunan's face was very ugly, he didn't expect to contact someone from the marching ant company, but he was directly rejected by the other party. Anyway, he is also an ambassador to China, and he was rejected like this, which made him very unhappy.
The Marching Ant Company didn't even say the reason for rejecting him, making him even more upset.
The earthquake and tsunami have just passed, and the country is busy with disaster relief. But now in China, aftershocks are continuous, and people have to worry about when the next big earthquake will come.
After this disaster, there is now an urgent need to obtain seismograph technology in Japan. If there is this technology, predicting the next earthquake, those voters will definitely support their current party to become the prime minister of the next government.
Now the order given to him from above is to get the seismograph technology, and if it doesn't work, buy the seismograph and go back.
Marching Ants are already able to predict earthquakes, and if they can't predict it before the next catastrophe, it's government inaction, and they'll be in endless trouble. They are more likely to be attacked by the opposition parties and make them resign.
As far as he knows, New Zealand, Chile, Indonesia and other countries with frequent earthquake disasters have begun to contact the marching ant company and get some news.
But when he came to contact, he ate a closed door, which made him unable to get out of breath.
Now that the marching ant company has seismograph technology, it is unlikely that they will be able to obtain it through abnormal means.
The marching ant company has been noticed by the high-level of Huaxia, if their people are caught like last time, and they will anger the marching ant company, not to mention the seismograph, they will not be able to get a single part.
"Inada-kun, could it be that because of the seismograph incident last time, the marching ant company ignored us? The seismograph we fished up was not returned to the marching ant company. Yokoi Mi next to him said.
He is the counselor of the embassy and is responsible for assisting the embassy in its work, and this time he will also assist in the work of the seismograph when they get it. If this is done, he will also get a piece of credit.
Inada Jinnan patted his head and suddenly realized.
The last time the seismograph of the marching ant company was fished up, they ignored the marching ant company, and even refused the visa of the staff of the marching ant company to go to the island country.
Originally, I thought that the marching ant company would make a fuss because of this matter, but the marching ant company just gave a painless response. The marching ant company must be very unhappy with them in this matter.
"What are you going to do?" Inada Tsunan looked at Yokoi Yu: "Last time, I have already offended the army ant company." ”
"The best way to do this is to return the seismograph to the marching ant company." Yokoi said.
"Wouldn't that be too shameless?" Inada Jinnan thought for a while and said.
A government that compromises with a company can't save face.
"Let's not make too much of a fuss, now that the media is focused on the earthquake, as long as the movement is not too big, we will not be noticed."
Inada Jinnan nodded contemplatively and picked up the phone: "I'll contact the country." ”
Now the government of the island country is under great pressure, and when it heard Inada Jinnan's request, it immediately agreed. The seismograph, the core of the circuit board and chips that they fished up have burned out, and they have not gotten useful technology.
Now it is a lot of trouble for the government of the island country, and the only way to import seismographs is to calm the emotions of those people. Damaged seismographs, which are no longer of much value to them, have been studied.
