After the banquet, Li Shuhui and the others left first, and Wang Dao, under the leadership of Luo Guohua, came to a relatively remote small conference room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was no one else, just the No. 1 Ruling Chairman, the No. 2 Ruling Prime Minister, the No. 3 and No. 6 Elders, and the four elders who attended the award ceremony.

Seeing Wang Dao coming in, No. 3 said with a smile: "You haven't eaten enough, have you?" I don't think you use your chopsticks much, so I'll treat you to another meal in the evening. ”

"There are too many people to let go." Wang Dao smiled and said, "I don't have time at night, I want to take Yi Xiaoxiao to see my master and wife." ”

"Hey, yes, it's going fast, I've brought my girlfriend to meet my parents!" Three gave a thumbs up.

No. 1 suddenly said: "When you get married, I will be a witness." ”

Number Six hurriedly said, "Then I'll be the host!" ”

No. 2 and No. 3 looked at each other and said in unison, "We can only sit down and drink the wine!" ”

Wang Dao saw that the four elders had already grabbed the division of labor, and hurriedly said, "Don't, your battle is too big, I can't stand it." ”

"Haha" The four elders laughed, teased for a while, and then put down the matter.

The No. 1 Ruling Chairman sighed and said, "Wang Dao, I really didn't expect your sect to have been passed down for a hundred generations, I can't believe it!" ”

The second prime minister said: "Yes, if you don't say who can believe it, what we can find out is only in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties." ”

After a pause, No. 2 continued: "When the flying car was just born, we investigated you, and to be honest, if you hadn't taken the initiative to cooperate with us, we would have completely renovated your old house." ”

"At that time, our elder group was also controversial, whether to return you and your technology to the state, but after the third inspection, we think it is better to fully cooperate with you."

"To be honest, the technology you showed at the time really scared us out, perfect artificial intelligence, powerful super speeds, and all other technologies are all in our fantasy, I can't believe it."

"But it turns out that our choice is right, you did a very beautiful job, and you did not disappoint the ruling group at all, let alone the Chinese nation!"

Wang Dao listened to No. 2 finish speaking, smiled and didn't answer, there are some things that don't need to be pursued so much, just know it in your heart, No. 2 only said a few words, and didn't say more.

The No. 6 ruling elder became serious and said to Wang Dao: "Recently, the resource import management department has received reports from the following enterprises, and the import prices of various minerals have begun to rise sharply, and the normal production of some foreign mines has also been disrupted. ”

"I can't see it yet, but after a while, the impact will be felt. This time, I came to you mainly to discuss this matter. ”

This news made Wang Dao pay attention to it, and he couldn't help but get serious, and asked, "Do you have any details?" ”

Number Six handed over a folder and said to Wang Dao, "See for yourself, it's all here." ”

Wang Dao stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and began to flip through it, a total of more than a dozen pages, but it was finished in one minute.

According to the data, in 2017, China's seaborne iron ore arrivals reached a record 1,117.79 million tons, with an average price of US$58.42/ton and an average seafreight price of US$14.18/ton.

However, in December, when the price of iron ore in the world automobile production almost stagnated, the price of iron ore exported to China actually rose to 70 US dollars, and the sea freight also increased to 17 US dollars.

On New Year's Day, most foreign iron ore producers carried out a large-scale breach of contract, and after paying the breach of contract, they asked to renegotiate the contract.

In the new contract negotiations, foreign iron ore companies raised the price to $240 per tonne, and foreign shipping companies also raised the sea freight to $70, that is, the price increased four times compared to the previous one.

The same is true for copper ore, but at a five-fold increase, and for other common metal ores, the price of which ranges from four to seven times. Imported prices for finished metals have similarly increased.

In addition to metal ores, other mineral resources have also risen in price on a large scale.

In 2017, the volume of crude oil imported by China was 438.16 million tons, with an average price of 335.5 US dollars per ton. After New Year's Day, OPEC members, with the exception of Iran and Venezuela, announced large-scale production cuts and raised the price of oil exports to China, which was also a fourfold increase.

At the same time, since New Year's Day, Huaxia's mines and oil farms in Africa have been subjected to many armed attacks, which have killed three people and injured 27 others, seriously affecting normal production and business activities.

And all this has not happened to other countries, it is a measure against China.

Wang Dao said to the elders: "Is the United States imposing resource sanctions on us, launching an economic war, and trying to drag us down?" ”

The substantial increase in the import price of minerals will lead to an increase in the price of domestic raw materials, and its series of effects will eventually be a sharp increase in the price of industrial products, resulting in a sharp slowdown in economic growth, a substantial increase in the cost of living of the people, and a difficult increase in income.

If nothing else, let's just say that if oil goes up like this, there will not be many people who can afford to drive a car.

No. 6 said angrily: "Yes, this is directly stuck in our necks, and I want us to slowly suffocate to death, it is certain that the price will continue to rise sharply in the future!" ”

"So what's your plan?" Wang Dao asked with a frown.

No. 2 took out his mobile phone and handed it to Wang Dao, and replied: "Increase offshore oil platforms and exploit seabed minerals." These are the main ones. Xiaohua, you tell your dad specifically. ”

"Daddy, look at the map!" With Xiaohua's voice, an enlarged map appeared on the phone.

"According to the No. 3 report, we have discovered six mega oil fields in the East and South China Seas, which are huge and easy to exploit, but two areas of the sea are in dispute."

"In the North Pacific, we have identified a dense distribution zone of manganese nodules, which is easy to collect and close to other mines, which is very conducive to the development of minerals."

"Yes, the resources under the sea are very rich!" Wang Dao looked at the map and data on his mobile phone and exclaimed.

No. 1 corrected with a smile: "It should be a super flying car, if it weren't for No. 3 car and the flying car that was put into use later, we wouldn't have figured out the distribution of these minerals so easily." ”

"So what's the problem with mining now? Speak it up and see! Wang Dao didn't care about No. 1's praise and continued to ask.

Six replied: "There is no problem with oil extraction, we have decided to send naval warships to protect it, and there will also be aircraft patrolling and protecting it." However, there are some problems with seabed mineral mining, Xiaohua, professional problems. ”

"Okay, Grandpa Six." Xiaohua agreed, and Tiantian said to Wang Dao: "Dad, that's the case, according to calculations and experiments, the use of wireless power supply is the most cost-effective, I designed the intelligent mining robot, but the lossless distance of wireless charging on the seabed is less than fifty meters, and the activity distance is too short." ”

"Oh, have you studied why?" Wang Dao asked with interest, he was not interested in the problem, he was interested in Xiaohua's thinking method to solve the problem.

"Radio waves are transmitted in seawater, and the dispersion and attenuation are much worse than those transmitted in the air, and I have conducted many experiments to extend the lossless transmission distance to 50 meters." Xiaohua began to talk about her improvements to the existing wireless transmission method.

Although the elders didn't understand these scientific principles, they also listened to them with relish, and interjected from time to time to raise their doubts, although the questions were not very professional, they also made Xiaohua feel very satisfied.

"That's it, Dad, I can't help it." After talking for ten minutes, Xiao Hua explained all the problems clearly, and then asked Wang Dao for help.

Wang Dao is very satisfied with Xiaohua, in addition to her lack of imagination and association, her other thinking abilities are beyond normal ability.

After thinking about it, Wang Dao said: "You can combine the quantum Zeno effect and quantum transition theory to redesign a set of wireless power transmission equipment. You study it yourself first, and when your Grandma Li and they go back, I will study it with you. ”

"Okay, Dad, then I'll go research first. Goodbye, grandfathers! With a polite goodbye, Xiaohua disappeared and left.
