Chapter 200: Super Submarines
Three months have passed since Liu Hui began to pay attention to Wang Xiaoer's incident and help him take revenge.
A lot has happened in those three months. The previous nuclear explosion has slowly subsided, and the U.S.-led nuclear accident investigation team has not been able to find useful evidence at the scene to prove who was responsible for the nuclear weapon. They had no choice but to make mistakes and hold down the al-Qaeda in Afghanistan to beat them up and vent all the grievances in their hearts. The world's nuclear-weapon states have also begun to check their own stockpiles of nuclear weapons to see if there is a possibility of leakage. This inspection has plugged many security loopholes and reduced the hidden danger of the possible loss of nuclear weapons.
After months of worry, people around the world realized that their lives had not been affected much, and they slowly forgot about the nuclear accident. After all, there are too many hot events that happen every day in this world, and no one will keep an eye on a certain event, even if the scale of this event is large, it will be forgotten after a long time.
The Star Charity Association has completed the rescue work in the disaster area, and they have spent all the two billion US dollars in materials and funds allocated by Liu Hui, and now they have begun to return home. Liu Hui's father has been unanimously praised by the affected countries for his effective disaster relief, and those affected by the disaster even call him the Buddha of Wanjiasheng, and want to set up an immortal tablet for him, and even the reputation of the Star Group has reached a new height in these countries. And Liu Decheng has also behaved jerkily at the beginning to calm and calm now, and he has matured in this disaster relief, so Liu Hui's goal has basically been achieved.
But Liu Hui's father is still a little unhappy, Chen Shaokang of the Amy Group has often stayed with his mother in the past few months, Chen Shaokang told his mother about Chen Lang's growth when he was a child in his spare time, Chen Shaokang used this hand to successfully achieve some common topics with his mother. Seeing that they were talking happily, Liu Decheng felt very uneasy, but fortunately, with the completion of the disaster relief mission, Chen Shaokang's Amy Charity had to go back to the United States, and there was no excuse to stay with his mother. Seeing Chen Shaokang's departure, Liu Decheng breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
Alexander of the Magic Plane had already surveyed the production of the black liquid of the Stinky Tree, and he told Liu Hui that he could provide about 100,000 tons of black liquid stock solution a year. After detailed calculations, Liu Hui found that he could extract 10,000 tons of white condiments from the 100,000 tons of black liquid stock solution. According to the average amount of 0.5 grams of white condiments used per dish, this 10,000 tons of condiments can make 20 billion dishes.
The number of gourmet restaurants opened by Star Group in the world is 3,000, which means that if these 20 billion dishes are broken down into these 3,000 restaurants, each restaurant can produce 6.6 million dishes per year. On average, 18,000 dishes can be made per day. And if a restaurant has 18,000 dishes a day, it can already meet the needs of external business.
Once Liu Hui calculated the account clearly, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. If he made a pure profit of twenty dollars on each dish, he could make a huge profit of four hundred billion dollars a year from this white condiment. And with the deliciousness and delicacy of his dishes, there is no problem in making a pure profit of twenty dollars on each dish.
But Liu Hui thought about it again, it seems to be a bit difficult for each restaurant to sell 18,000 dishes a day, so it is necessary for him to speed up the pace of opening new restaurants, with the big killer of super condiments, even if he opens 30,000 stores, there will be no loss.
Although the research team has come to the conclusion that this white condiment is absolutely safe, Liu Hui is still not ready to use this white condiment on Chinese people, and he plans to open more new stores abroad to make money from foreigners. After all, this white condiment is perfectly safe, but it doesn't have any nutrients.
Alexander also reported on the miraculous bark trees, telling Liu Hui that the number of bark trees in the extreme cold and heat was about 21 million per tree, and that their growth cycle was about ten years. He also said that he could provide Liu Hui with one million trunks of two types of barking trees every year, and the standard for trunks is one meter in diameter and 40 meters in height.
Liu Hui calculated and found that he could make at least 40 billion pairs of stockings or underwear every year from these magical barking trees, which each numbered one million trees. And with the practical function of keeping warm and cooling, he is sure that he can make a net profit of twenty dollars on each pair of stockings or underwear, which means that he can make a huge profit of 800 billion dollars a year on the bark tree.
Alexander brought Liu Hui great wealth, and Liu Hui also prepared a huge amount of supplies for Alexander. Because the current Star Logistics Company is extremely large, there are many warehouses under it. Liu Hui hoarded enough living materials without anyone noticing, and when he handed over these living materials to Alexander, he also handed him a set of remote monitoring equipment. It's a pity that Alexander didn't find the person who was spying on them from the surveillance equipment.
And Zege also brought good news to Liu Hui, the drugs he streamlined according to Liu Hui's requirements were finally manufactured, and the effects of these drugs fully met the requirements of Liu Hui, a businessman. Therefore, although they are very effective, they need to be repeated by people to achieve good health care or makeup results.
However, in the health care products and cosmetics industry, Liu Hui does not dare to guarantee how much profit he can make, after all, everyone uses health care products or cosmetics have their own habits, this habit can not be changed in a short time, nor is it who uses whoever has good product quality, not to mention that there are many well-known health care products and cosmetics brands in the world today, and they have already carved up the market. However, Liu Hui is still very confident, after all, the effect of his health care products and cosmetics is very good, and those people should become his loyal customers once they start using them.
Liu Hui also began to build a super condiment refinery workshop and a production workshop for insulated cold stockings and underwear. Although Star Group had early plans, a large plot of land in the remote suburbs of Hong Kong was set aside as a potential factory area. However, after the leapfrog development of Star Group, Liu Hui found that the empty factory area reserved by him had been filled with various production workshops and workshops, and now there is no new development space. Liu Hui had to renovate some of the facilities that had already been built, and he was able to reluctantly move the two newly built workshops into them.
Star Group also applied to Hong Kong Political Axe to acquire the land around the factory to expand the scope of the factory. However, this application is facing many problems, and there are too many entanglements of interests involved, which cannot be solved in a short period of time. Therefore, even if Hong Kong's political axe fully supports the development of Star Group, it is impossible for them to hand over the surrounding land to Star Group for development in the short term. In the case of a shortage of industrial land, Liu Hui can't wait to own the land that belongs to him.
Fortunately, it will take some time for those health products and cosmetics to be launched, otherwise there will be no place for health products and cosmetics to be produced. However, Liu Hui must prepare in advance now, otherwise if this situation really occurs, it will affect the speed at which he can make money.
Since three months ago, after some customized components from international shipbuilding companies have been put in place, the establishment of Star City has officially kicked off.
The parts were towed by tugboats to the shores of Po Toi O, Hong Kong, where they were towed by construction machinery that had been waiting there for a long time, and assembled according to the numbers on the parts. Because the parts are built to strict standards, their assembly is very simple, they just need to be assembled separately according to the number.
Because the 0.5 km × 0.5 km × 10 m platforms were just the prototype of the Star City, and there were not many secrets involved, they were quickly assembled and turned into a floating island floating in the sea.
After the floating island was assembled, Chen Changsheng led his scientific team to the floating island and began the first round of renovation of the floating island according to the previous design. They began to arrange various formations in key parts of the floating island, and then installed various high-tech monitoring equipment and inspection instruments in the reserved space in the floating island. And it didn't take long for the exterior of this floating island to look like it hadn't changed, but inside it had already changed a lot, completely different from when it was first assembled.
Then, all kinds of large-scale machinery and equipment that the Star Group had purchased long ago were transported to the floating island, and some houses and factories with different purposes began to be built on this floating island, and the entire floating island suddenly became a large-scale construction site. And now, the most critical step of the Starry Sky City has finally been completed, this floating island has been transformed, and the entire Starry Sky City will take this floating island as the center and begin to spread outward.
Immediately after that, the second batch of parts ordered by Star Group to various manufacturing plants will be shipped. The number of parts in this second batch is very large, and in Liu Hui and Chen Changsheng's plan, after the second batch of parts are assembled, the area of this floating island will reach four square kilometers. When this large four-square-kilometer floating island is built, more machinery and factories will be moved to this large floating island. And at that time, it was the peak period of the construction of the Star City. At that time, Starry Sky City will turn into a gold-swallowing monster, devouring Liu Hui's huge amount of money in a steady stream.
After Liu Hui got off work that day, he was pulled to the submarine factory by Chen Changsheng, saying that he was asked to attend the launching ceremony of the first submarine of the Star Group.
Liu Hui knew that his first submarine would be launched tonight, and he had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. He and Chen Changsheng came to the submarine manufacturing plant, in a large closed workshop, after three months of intense construction, under the premise of using a lot of advanced technology, this 10,000-ton submarine that can sail in the deep sea has finally been manufactured, and today, it is a good time for it to be launched.
Liu Hui and Chen Changsheng both knew the important surname of secrecy, so they did not publicize it to the outside world in this festive day. The people who attended the ceremony, in addition to some construction personnel, were the scientists involved in the design of the submarine and some submarine workers trained by themselves. And because the submarine was built in a roofed workshop, no one knew that Star Group already had a large submarine to be launched.
Liu Hui stood in front of this huge submarine with some emotion, the length of this submarine reached 120 meters, the width was 20 meters, and the height was 15 meters. Just looking at the shape is very impressive.
"Dean Chen, I don't think our submarine seems to have anything special except for being tall, why can it dive to a depth of 11,000 meters underwater?" Liu Hui asked.
"Boss, you can't tell the difference with the naked eye alone. First of all, the materials used to make this submarine are all strengthened by solid formations, making them more than a hundred times tougher than ordinary submarine materials, so just with this sturdy hull, you can dive to a depth of 11,000 meters. Of course, we don't know what the maximum depth of this submarine is, because the deepest trench in the world is only 11,000 kilometers. Chen Changsheng said proudly.
"You said first, then there should be a second, right?" Liu Hui asked.
"Yes, this is because we have adopted a completely new technology on the outer hull of the submarine, which is deep-sea decompression. The hull of our submarine actually has two layers, and the outermost layer is movable, which reduces the water pressure. In fact, this kind of technology has been used by many foreign countries, but the difference between us and them is: the strength of our hull material is very high, so when our submarine dives into the deep sea, its outer layer of the ship will be compressed inward because of the strong water pressure, we connect this layer of the hull to a generator, when they are compressed inward by water pressure, you can drive the generator to generate electricity, and the water pressure is converted into electricity, and then it cancels the pressure of this part of the water. The outer hull will return to its original position, then it will be compressed again, and it will generate electricity again, and the water pressure will be reduced again, and it will be restored again, and so on and so on. With such a conversion device, the water pressure on the inner layer of the ship can be reduced. Chen Changsheng explained.
Liu Hui sighed and said: "You mean to say that because of the flexibility of our materials, we can make a machine that generates electricity under the water, so as to convert the strong water pressure into electricity, and then under the protection of this layer of equipment, the inner hull will not be squeezed by the water pressure at all, so our submarine can dive into the deep sea?" ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Although there are some deviations in it, the actual situation is like this." However, with our original design, we can dive into the deep sea just by virtue of the sturdiness of the submarine hull, and this device is only the icing on the cake at most! ”
Liu Hui pondered for a moment and said: "No, this deep-sea power generation device is very useful, and I have a hunch that this deep-sea power generation device will have a very big effect in the future. By the way, who invented this deep-sea power generation device? ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "This was invented by a young scientist, his name is Yang Hua. ”
"Yang Hua?" Liu Hui's eyes immediately flashed out of the young man who only knew how to read scientific magazines and books, that young man had met Liu Hui when he was in Bashan, and he later joined the Star Science Research Institute and wanted to pursue Li Zhi. Liu Hui thought that he was just wishful thinking, but he didn't expect that this young man really had some strength, and he actually invented this device that can generate electricity in the deep sea.
"Dean Chen, what is the power of our submarine?" Liu Hui asked again.
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "We used a seventh-level power stone to propel this submarine, and the power contained in the seventh-level power stone reached one billion kWh, which is equivalent to the energy contained in the nuclear reactor of a medium-sized nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the United States, so it can be used as the power source of this submarine." This submarine uses all-electric propulsion, so its noise decibels are very small, which is already lower than the background noise of the ocean, and it will not be detected by the enemy at all. And because it's all-electric, we've added four super-powered engines to it, making it reach a maximum speed of 70 knots, which is currently the fastest submarine in the world. And this seventh-level power stone can allow this submarine to travel a million kilometers at the limit speed. What's more, we have also prepared another level 7 power stone for this submarine, and if the two power stones are used together, its endurance will become even more terrifying. What's more, we have the constant power generation of underwater generators, which still have some flaws, but can provide some electricity. So as long as the submarine is still in the water, it can continue to generate electricity. In this way, it is possible to extend some of the battery life. ”
Liu Hui said with emotion: "I didn't expect this submarine's endurance to be so strong. Then he went on to ask: "I know that the United States has nuclear submarines, what is the difference between them and our current submarines?" ”
Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Boss, the biggest advantage of US nuclear submarines is that they are nuclear-powered, so they can dive for a long time without floating and charging, which greatly reduces the chance of exposure." In addition, its size is also large, and the living conditions of its internal personnel, the number of weapons loaded and the detection equipment are also relatively strong, so its comprehensive combat effectiveness is not the same as that of conventional diesel-electric submarines. But the American nuclear submarines have all of them, our submarines have all of them, we can dive for a long time, we don't need to recharge at all, our volume is much larger than that of nuclear submarines, and our noise is also less than theirs. Therefore, our submarines have far surpassed the nuclear submarines of the United States, and it is not an exaggeration to call them super submarines. ”
Liu Hui sighed with emotion: "Did we surpass them all at once? ”
Chen Changsheng blinked his eyes and said, "That's nature, boss, I'll take you to the submarine to visit!" ”
