Cao Chuan, standing in the production hall full of smoke and dust, said: "The demand for resources has reached a new height, and the traditional resource processing method is increasingly difficult to meet the requirements. ”

What he said is actually a summary of the experience of the East Galaxy Company in the past few years, there are as many as 5,000 kinds of conventional minerals on the earth, and there are 1,000 more types of newly discovered minerals on the moon, and each mineral is different from mining to processing, resulting in a large number of complex equipment needs.

For example, different hardness, such as different temperatures, such as soft geology, such as multi-mineral association, so no matter how to mine, you must first select the appropriate mining equipment according to the type of mineral.

Mining is still relatively simple, and so far, the joint production plant of the East Galaxy Company for the production of second-generation unmanned units has the ability to process a wide range of minerals, the most complex of which is the processing stage.

Therefore, Cao Chuan also hopes to find a universal resource processing solution, at least to deal with the world's most widely distributed minerals, so that the range of ore types processed and produced by the factories within the joint production workshop will also increase, and the efficiency will increase many times due to integration.

Such a technical solution is also attractive to the polar bear country, as Cao Chuan initially judged, the current polar bear country has too much resource production and insufficient internal digestion capacity, and through the technology provided by itself, it will solve its own disadvantages in this regard.

However, how to find a universal solution, in fact, is very difficult, human processing of raw ore conventional methods include - grinding, screening, chemical treatment, heating, etc., it seems that even if you get such as vacuum processing, ultra-low temperature treatment, there is still no way to achieve universal.

So after a long and clueless simulation of the rules, it occurred to him that he had to find another way, why not give up something? For example, energy prices are already quite low, and if needed, further liberalization of helium-3 production capacity will further drive down the cost of energy in the processing of materials, and if you follow this path, you may find a solution.

With ideas, the efficiency of rule simulation will be improved, this is the truth he summed up, Cao Chuan finally wanted the plan after spending 10 days.

"The core of this solution, called hot melt ore treatment technology, is to use the principle that any substance is weakened and easy to process in a high-temperature environment."

Cao Chuan explained: "With the current raw ore processing technology of the Polar Bear Country, it has been quite efficient in terms of resource collection, and through the general crushing and filtration process, all the ore entering the mining vehicle and mining spacecraft warehouse has a certain purity. ”

"But what's next... If you look at how many different factories there are here, we have to build different plants to handle all kinds of raw ore, and with this technology, you just have to build one, and it can process 100% of the raw ore, from high purity raw ore to refined material. ”

Cao Chuan demonstrated a model, a production workshop of about 10,000 square meters, the old scientists stared intently, only to see a variety of mixed ores after being fed into the furnace, immediately heated to 4,000 degrees Celsius, at this temperature, a large number of metals are even vaporized, and then through complex multi-layer filtration, condensation, centrifugal equipment, along different outlets, and then condensed into a pure more than 99% elemental material.

"It's kind of like gas filtration technology." An old scientist said.

"That's right..."Cao Cao said in approval, many outdated techniques. In the new era, it will play a new role. "You may have noticed that in order to make such a processing unit, the performance requirements of the equipment have increased dramatically, and the energy consumption is at least five times higher than it is now."

"Indeed...", the scientists agreed, and they have demonstrated through the demonstration of the model and the related techniques used, and found that it is possible.

Exchanging energy for resources is a good business, just because the human beings who have mastered fusion energy are not short of energy at all, and if there is no way to find an outlet for these excess energy to be consumed, it is actually worthless for economic development and civilization progress.

Looking at Cao Chuan's demonstration, these old people seemed to foresee the grand scene of huge factories standing in the city, smelting hundreds of materials day and night.

For them, such a technology is no less than a milestone technology that changes the basis of productivity, and if it is mastered by the polar bear state, what advantages will they gain?

Mr. President stood beside him, wisely he looked at these old scientists who were in tears and crying with excitement as if they had obtained a treasure, and concluded that the technology was absolutely real, even if what he wanted was the technology that immediately made the polar bear country strong, not this hot melt processing technology, and put himself in his shoes, why did the East Galaxy Company give such good things to outsiders, and really thought that they were a group of philanthropic virgins?

If someone told him this a few years ago, he would probably believe that through the exchanges between the East Galaxy Company and the Free Lighthouse Country in the past 5 years, he would have found that the truth is definitely not the case, and if you want to say what the East Galaxy Company is like, Mr. President will tell the questioner that the East Galaxy Company is similar to the Night Rabbit Country, which is clearly a group of bad guys who are dressed in rabbit skin on the surface and hide from the big lion inside.

Standing at his level, accustomed to this kind of thing, he walked up: "Mr. Consultant, thank you for the technology you demonstrated, I believe that this technology will bring a new flashpoint to the progress of human civilization." Let's talk about the specific cooperation. ”

"Cooperation?" Cao Chuan blinked, he seemed to be too involved just now, and he had to say that when he stood in front of a group of seekers who were determined to dedicate themselves to science, his inner defense line would loosen slightly.

"Of course." He recovered quickly, recalling the conditions he had thought of earlier.

Different from the past, from the past to ask for resources from several major countries, to now, led by the East Galaxy Company to support the five hooligans, the change is huge, anyway, the East Galaxy Company is not in a hurry to integrate human civilization, so it is most in their current interests to let the countries on the earth compete with each other, they continue to lie on the earth human beings to suck blood, mainly to further absorb outstanding talents, so that they become stronger.

After a friendly conversation with Mr. President, the specific cooperation plan was determined, first of all, the East Galaxy Company enjoys the priority of preferential procurement resources, and guarantees that the total amount is not less than 100,000 tons per year, mainly rare metals, super heavy metals, and precious metals are available everywhere, so they do not need to import at all.

As for the other achievement, it is actually at the military level, but it is mainly proposed by him to balance the military strength of all parties on the earth, to let the polar bear country keep an eye on the development of the free beacon country, and to build an asteroid belt defense circle, so that if the two sides show each other's muscles in the asteroid belt, it will be extremely helpful to relieve the pressure on the East Galaxy Company.

The so-called cooperation, in fact, is still an intention plan, and there are still a lot of details to be determined, such as the minimum amount of each material, if the polar bear country helps to keep an eye on the free beacon country, what specific extent do they have to go, if it is too coarse, it means that it may be at any time in the future, Cao Chuan doesn't want to make it like this.
