Chapter 225: A New Way to Make a Fortune

Abdullah finally waited for the rejuvenation issue that he was most concerned about, and his heart tightened, and he asked, "I don't know how much the treatment cost of this rejuvenation surgery is?" ”

Liu Hui smiled and stretched out a finger.

Abdullah guessed: "A million? But he didn't believe in the amount himself.

Liu Hui began to shake his head.

Abdullah tentatively added: "Ten million? ”

Liu Hui continued to shake his head and said, "It's still a long way off!" ”

Abdullah was shocked and asked, "Is it 10 billion?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "It's not that high!" ”

Abdullah asked, "How much is that?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "100 million US dollars." ”

Abdullah breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It doesn't seem to be very expensive!" ”

Liu Hui continued: "I mean that 100 million dollars can be a year younger. ”

Abdullah exclaimed, "What? A year younger than $100 million? ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Yes, you heard it right, it's 100 million US dollars that can rejuvenate people for a year." I'll give you a thorough explanation, the old Superman spent $6.3 billion on me and was sixty-three years younger, and He Gambling King spent $6 billion on me and was sixty years younger. You must know that this rejuvenation operation of mine can only be performed once in a person's life, so if the first opportunity is not grasped, then there will be no second chance in the future. ”

In fact, the treatment fees of Old Superman and Old Man He were discounted by Liu Hui here, and they didn't actually spend so much money. However, it is impossible for Abdullah to find out these specific amounts, so Liu Hui is not afraid of Abdullah exposing himself at all. Moreover, this is a seller's market, and there is no way for buyers to counter-offer.

As soon as Abdullah heard that everyone only had one chance in their lives to rejuvenate and rejuvenate, he immediately began to think about it. $100 million a year younger may seem very expensive to others, but it is acceptable to him. In the end, he still calculated and understood that no matter how much money there is, once people are no longer there, not all of them belong to others, and in comparison, his own life is the most important. What's more, this huge amount of money for treatment can't break his muscles and bones. So he said, "Mr. Liu Hui, is there any danger in this operation?" ”

Liu Hui shook his head and said, "Our operation is 100% safe, and the time required is very short, it can be completed in only twelve hours." ”

Abdullah said: "In that case, I want to be seventy years younger at a time, is that okay?" ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Naturally, as long as you have enough money, you can even if you want to be young enough to be a baby, but in that case, at least ten years of life will not be fun." ”

When Abdullah heard Liu Hui say this, he immediately burst out laughing, and the eyes of the two men flashed with a look that only a man could understand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Liu Hui ended his conversation with Abdullah, Abdullah received a satisfactory answer, so he naturally returned to his resting place to mobilize the funds for this treatment and the personnel who negotiated with the Star Group. And Liu Hui came to the Star Science Research Institute and found Chen Changsheng.

"Boss, didn't you go to receive that king? Why did you come to me? Chen Changsheng quipped.

"Hehe, the king is gone. I've come to you to confirm something. Liu Hui said with a smile.

"Boss, what do you want to know about?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.

"You said last time that our desalination technology is mature and ready to be put into practice, right?" Liu Hui asked.

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Boss, yes, I said this, we have already studied this desalination technology." Because our "starry sky city" will mainly be active at sea in the future, this future sea city needs a lot of fresh water, so the first research project of our Academy of Sciences is this seawater desalination technology. ”

Liu Hui asked: "Is this desalination technology difficult?" ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Boss, in fact, this desalination technology is very simple. The technology we are using now is one of the simplest multi-stage flash evaporation methods, which is a technology that uses a large amount of energy to evaporate the heated seawater in a number of flash chambers with gradually decreasing pressure, and condenses the steam to obtain fresh water. ”

Liu Hui was overjoyed and asked, "How can I hear those people say that seawater desalination technology is very difficult?" You must have had a hard time researching this technology, right? ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Boss, in fact, this seawater desalination technology, to put it bluntly, is the process of evaporating seawater through the consumption of a large amount of energy, and then turning it into pure water. The biggest problem here is how to improve the water production capacity of a single machine, reduce unit power consumption, and improve heat transfer efficiency. However, after the boss provided those magical formations and those high-grade power stones, these problems were no longer problems. ”

Liu Hui asked: "Do you mean that because of the role of the formation, the seawater desalination equipment can improve the water production capacity and heat transfer efficiency, and with the use of high-grade energy stones, you don't care about the consumption of unit electricity?" ”

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right." Not to mention the so many high-grade energy stones you provided us, the electricity contained in them is an astronomical amount, just the fourteen god-level energy stones in our laboratory, they can provide 1.4 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every day, and these electric energy are used for seawater desalination, so I don't know how much seawater to desalination. So, in terms of energy, we don't have a shortage of energy at all, so we don't care about what energy is consumed. ”

Liu Hui thought for a moment and asked: "If we calculate according to the production cost, for every cubic meter of fresh water produced, what is our production cost?" ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "This is really hard to calculate. Our desalination equipment is exceptionally strong and durable, and can be used for at least more than 100 years, so the depreciation cost of our equipment is very low. The only cost to consider is the consumption of electricity and the cost of personnel wages, so if you calculate it this way, the cost of each cubic meter of fresh water should not exceed 0.3 yuan! In fact, when we carry out this desalination, we can also get a large number of minerals and precious metals from seawater, so if it is calculated in this way, our desalination will not only have no cost, but will be very profitable. ”

Liu Hui said: "Are you saying that while you are desalination, you can also separate those minerals and precious metals from the seawater?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes, we have achieved the distinction between these minerals and precious metals, boss, why do you ask?" ”

Liu Hui was overjoyed and said with a smile: "This is really good, I have always forgotten about the desalination of seawater, but fortunately, the arrival of the old Saudi king reminded me." I originally wanted to do something good, improve the barren environment of the earth, and reduce the possibility of those extreme environmental protection organizations coming to us to trouble, but I didn't expect to find such a way to make a fortune here. ”

Chen Changsheng touched his head in puzzlement and said: "When we studied this seawater desalination technology before, we only studied it as a subject, and we just thought that if we wanted to do it, we would make it perfect, so we spent a little more energy to separate the minerals and precious metals in these seawater, but I didn't think that the boss would attach so much importance to them." ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Dean Chen, I want to thank you this time!" Although I am not good at technology, I do know that seawater contains a lot of minerals and precious metals. Although the content of these minerals and precious metals in the seawater is very low, it cannot stand the huge volume of the seawater. If you think about it again, if we are now involved in the desalination market, we can not only make money in desalination, but also win a good reputation. After all, we provide edible fresh water to people around the world who are short of water, so those so-called environmental groups should not come to the door to demonstrate, right? And most importantly, we can also extract a lot of precious metals and minerals from seawater, and these things are the main part of our money. Even if these things aren't for sale, they can be used in the construction of our own Starry Sky City! ”

Chen Changsheng said with emotion: "Why didn't I think of this? For every 4 million tons of seawater pumped, 100,000 tons of sodium chloride, 30,000 tons of miscanthus nitrate, 5,000 tons of magnesium, 5,000 tons of gypsum, 2,400 tons of potassium carbonate, 250 tons of bromine, 100 tons of boric acid, 6,000 tons of heavy water, 700 kilograms of lithium, 200 kilograms of iodine, and 10 kilograms of uranium can be produced from it. The value of these items and metals is so great that the boss deserves to be the boss, and he really sees us far. ”

Liu Hui smiled: "Dean Chen, it's not good for you to be so modest, you must know that I am not the kind of memediocre boss, so don't hide it in front of me." ”

Chen Changsheng smiled awkwardly, but remained silent.

Liu Hui actually has a sentence in his heart that he did not say, that is, if he enters the desalination market strongly, and if he collapses all other desalination plants with low prices, then he can completely control this market, and he can almost control the lifeblood of these extremely water-scarce countries. When the time comes, if anyone upsets him, he will cut off his water and see who dares to fight him. However, although this prospect looks very good, there are also great risks in the middle, and it depends on whether Liu Hui can avoid these risks.

Liu Hui then continued to ask: "What does our desalination equipment look like, is it big?" ”

Chen Changsheng turned on the computer in front of him, pulled out a picture, and said, "Boss, look, this is our seawater desalination equipment." ”

Liu Hui stretched out his head to take a look, but found that the computer screen was just a large freighter, and he said with some surprise: "Dean Chen, are you wrong with the picture, how can I see a large freighter!" ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "The boss is not mistaken, the interior of this large cargo ship has been renovated by us, so it is now an offshore desalination plant." ”

Liu Hui asked a little stupidly: "But this looks like a large cargo ship, and from the appearance, people can't imagine that it is actually a desalination plant." ”

Chen Changsheng said: "Because we thought that our "Starry Sky City" would float on the sea in the future, we modified this desalination equipment on this large cargo ship, not to deliberately be unconventional. In the future, the desalination plant of Starry Sky City will be built in the city, and will not be built on cargo ships. ”

Liu Hui looked at the large freighter and suddenly smiled: "Not bad, very good!" It occurred to me that if our desalination plant looked like this, it would be very good. ”

"Boss, what are you talking about?" Chen Changsheng asked puzzledly, wondering why Liu Hui praised this seawater desalination plant converted from a freighter.

Liu Hui smiled: "I'm saying that the idea of converting this cargo ship into a desalination plant is very good, because then we don't have to build a desalination plant on land, and then it will reduce the possibility of our secrets being leaked." And this offshore desalination plant also has a feature, that is, it can be moved freely, once we supply water in this place, we can also go to other places to supply water, it is really convenient. Even if we fall out with those partners in the future, we can just drive the boat away, and we won't leave any benefit to each other at all. ”

Chen Changsheng said with a smile: "Actually, these are all the credit of the boss, because you provided us with high-grade energy stones, after having this high-level energy source whose volume is basically negligible, we can save a lot of energy space on the cargo ship, and after saving so much space, we can also install a seawater desalination plant on a large cargo ship." ”

Liu Hui asked: "How many tons of fresh water can this desalination ship provide per day?" ”

Chen Changsheng said: "The cargo ship itself has a load of 100,000 tons, so the desalination plant we installed on it is a medium-sized plant, which can provide 5 million tons of fresh water per day if it works at full capacity." ”

"How much?" Liu Hui was stunned for a moment, for fear that he had heard it wrong, so he hurriedly asked.

"Boss, if our desalination ship is running at full capacity, it can desalinate five million tons of fresh water a day." Chen Changsheng said again.

Liu Hui was taken aback, now all the world's desalination plants can only desalinate 40 million tons of seawater per day, this 100,000-ton cargo ship converted desalination plant can actually desalinate 5 million tons of fresh water per day, this ship alone is already worth one-eighth of the production capacity of all desalination plants in the world. This figure is too exaggerated, and Liu Hui can't help but be surprised.

Chen Changsheng didn't seem to be strange at all, he explained: "Boss, in fact, there is nothing to be curious about. The most important thing in desalination is energy. In the past, because desalination is a high-energy-consuming industry, the cost cannot be calculated, so the daily output of those desalination plants is not very high. If you don't consider the problem of energy consumption, all the desalination plants around the world are running at full capacity to desalinate seawater, and the daily output will definitely exceed hundreds of millions of tons. The reason why our desalination ship has such a powerful desalination capacity is because of the kind of high-grade energy stones provided by the boss. If it weren't for the huge amount of energy in this high-grade power stone, we wouldn't dare to desalinate such a large amount of seawater. Because then the more water we desalinate, the more we lose money. ”

Liu Hui listened to Chen Changsheng's explanation, and then he reacted. In the final analysis, this desalination is still stained with the light of its own cheap high-grade energy stones! If you don't have this cheap high-grade energy stone, you can't play this high-energy desalination project yourself.

However, Liu Hui immediately became happy, he now has countless Warcraft crystal nuclei in his hands, and there is no place to stack them now, and Alexander of the magic plane is still providing him with this kind of Warcraft crystal nuclei in a steady stream, so that he can only temporarily store these Warcraft crystal nuclei in Alexander's super large warehouse. These Warcraft crystal nuclei can't be directly taken out and sold, so when Liu Hui had a headache about what to do with this batch of unrealizable wealth, there was just this seawater desalination project, which could suddenly make the electrical energy contained in those Warcraft crystal nuclei transform into real benefits. And as long as the secrecy is done well, he can use these Warcraft crystal nuclei openly, so as to exchange these Warcraft crystal nuclei for the various resources he needs.

"Dean Chen, how much electricity does it take to desalinate a ton of seawater and separate the minerals and precious metals in it?" Liu Hui asked.

"About one kilowatt-hour of electricity can desalinate a ton of fresh water and separate the minerals and precious metals in it. Of course, this is only possible with the use of our formations and other latest technologies, and other desalination plants cannot meet such a high conversion standard. It takes them about four degrees or more to desalinate a ton of fresh water, and they can't separate the minerals and precious metals inside. Or is the depreciation rate of their desalination equipment very fast, about 15 years to replace, unlike our equipment can be used for 100 years, so their desalination cost is much higher than ours. Chen Changsheng replied.

Liu Hui calculated in his heart, if it was calculated according to the standard that Chen Changsheng said, then the desalination plant on the 100,000-ton cargo ship would consume five million kilowatt-hours of electricity per day, and it would need to consume one hundred and twenty-five kilowatt-hours of electricity a year, which would translate into one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five fourth-level demonic beast crystal nuclei.

As soon as Liu Hui calculated that such a huge consumption of Warcraft crystal nuclei was needed, he was suddenly a little stunned, this seawater desalination is worthy of being a high-energy-consuming industry. However, its output at the same time is also enough to make people excited, said that the average desalination of 5 million tons of seawater, then the average amount of desalination per second is 58 cubic meters, which is equivalent to a small river with abundant water. In this year, 1.8 billion tons of fresh water can be desalinated, and this will have to produce much economic benefits. And that's not counting the precious metals and minerals obtained during the desalination process, which alone produce close to 200,000 tons per day, not to mention their intrinsic value.

Liu Hui calculated this, and his heart suddenly became excited, because after such a calculation, he found that he had found a broad road to fortune again.
