Chapter 69 The Arms Deal is a Traditional Affair
The Wakaba public resource trading website soon received its first overseas order.
A total of 1,000 small solid-state hydrogen fuel cells were purchased, and the delivery address showed that the buyer was from the Americas, and it was a hydrogen fuel research institute.
Solid-state hydrogen fuel cells are widely used, usually used as an energy supply for some small mechanical equipment, and there are a large number of hydrogen elements in the universe, which also leads to the easy availability of raw materials for solid-state hydrogen fuel cells and can be quickly replenished.
At present, the solid-state hydrogen fuel cell of the new base adopts seawater hydrogen production technology, after using the arc decomposition device to decompose the seawater with electrolyte into hydrogen and oxygen, the hydrogen will be transferred to the solid-state hydrogen fuel cell production line, and the oxygen will be transmitted to the medical area to supply oxygen to the patients in the medical cabin, and other substances contained in the seawater will also be stored in different categories, and the salt contained in the seawater will be further refined to become edible salt and other rare substances on the table of the residents of the new base. For example, deuterium and tritium will be properly stored with special equipment as a material reserve for the new base.
Although the hydrogen after electrolysis is of high purity, the gaseous hydrogen is not only easy to explode, but also large in size and low in density, and the use of pipelines to transport the gas is actually very inefficient.
Between the arc decomposition unit and the solid-state hydrogen fuel cell production line, a high-pressure reactor covering an area of nearly 300 square meters, the hydrogen transported from the arc decomposition device will be transferred to the high-pressure reactor first.
The main function of this reactor is to achieve high-density compression of hydrogen, and tens or hundreds of tons of hydrogen undergo physical phase transformation under the action of high-pressure reactor to achieve close arrangement and combination between molecules.
The hydrogen treated at the high-pressure reactor is specially treated into a 60*60mm solid-state structure, which is then transported by a conveyor belt to a military factory for the production of small solid-state hydrogen fuel cells.
This treated solid hydrogen is not only easy to transport and store, but also has a stable molecular structure in most environments and does not explode easily, and because of its square shape, it is similar to a sugar cube, and this high-density solid hydrogen is called hydrogen sugar.
Solid-state hydrogen fuel cells have very good portability, because hydrogen combustion only produces water, so this fuel cell is a completely green product, solid-state hydrogen fuel cells can also be recharged multiple times after consuming the hydrogen energy stored inside, and reused after filling hydrogen sugar.
At present, the hydrogen sugar production of the new base is considerable, there is a large coastal area in the western part of Wakaba, the seawater is almost inexhaustible, and the arc decomposition unit is powered by solid hydrogen fuel cells, and the entire production line can be operated in a closed manner without even additional energy delivery, and it is expected to provide hundreds of thousands of solid-state hydrogen fuel cells for the new base every day.
Under the condition that the production capacity is sufficient, Li Mingyu has taken all the orders for solid-state hydrogen fuel cells on the official website, and at the same time allocated the ships to deliver the orders.
The main body of the solid-state hydrogen fuel cell is hydrogen sugar, and the outer wrapped metal shell serves as the energy release device of hydrogen sugar, which can release the energy in the hydrogen sugar according to the rated power, but according to the current general standard, high-density hydrogen sugar cannot pass the aircraft security check.
Although Lee Ming-woo is confident that this thing will not explode even if it is thrown into the fire, hydrogen is a flammable and explosive variety that is recognized all over the world, and in order to avoid a confrontation with the Gangjin airport, Lee Ming-woo decided to use the logistics system of Wakaba.
There is no airport in Wakaba, which is Li Mingyu's biggest headache at present, but this kind of large-scale infrastructure construction can not be made up for in a short time, Li Mingyu can build planes for Wakaba, and can also build a site, but it is useless to get an international air transport permit, foreign tourists cannot enter, and domestic people still can't get out.
At present, the mainstream means of transportation in Wakaba are still roads and seas, in order to be able to quickly transport goods out, Li Mingyu docked with the customs department of Wakaba, of course, it is only a nominal customs department, and the entire Wakaba is actually only a few administrative units, basically all the affairs are covered.
After obtaining the customs clearance, the construction robot will load 1,000 small solid-state hydrogen fuel cells onto the new speedboat, which will be transported by three experienced crew members, and the new speedboat will be more than 10 times faster than an ordinary cargo ship, which is expected to reach the Americas in two days.
On the Wakaba resource information trading network, a small solid-state hydrogen fuel cell is sold for $8,000, and the amount of this order is a total of $7.2 million after a nine-percent discount, while the manufacturing cost of a small solid-state hydrogen fuel cell is around $300, of course, this is without counting the equipment investment.
Overall, it's still blood-earned!
After securing the order for solid-state hydrogen fuel cells, the website unexpectedly received a purchase order for particle cannons, and the most bitter thing for Li Mingyu was that they actually applied for the use of Antarctic krill exchange.
The price of the particle cannon on the official website is not high, only around 50 million US dollars, and it is a friendship price for Sogan and Joseph, after all, they are also potential allies.
On the Wakaba Resources Trading Information Network, each product sold can be applied for an equivalent exchange using local specialty goods.
This is actually a concession to backward countries, and Li Mingyu does not want to make money from the poor, which is a principle he has always adhered to.
Take Antarctic krill as an example, in fact, the price of Antarctic krill in the international market is very expensive, and the Antarctic krill in high-end restaurants are sold by the individual, and the price of Antarctic krill in the market is also about tens of hundreds of dollars a catty.
But in areas where Antarctic krill is abundant, the price of Antarctic krill is generally less than $10 per catty.
When some international buyers are willing to use goods for barter, the official website is usually settled at the average international market price, which is a very cost-effective transaction for international buyers.
The reason why he chose to use this method to trade is that Li Mingyu also has his own considerations.
With the increasing number of tourists absorbed by the new base, a variety of needs have also burst out, such as catering needs, accommodation needs, entertainment needs, education needs, etc., Wakaba is a place with low resource abundance, and a large number of items need to be imported, which can import a large number of advantageous products from other countries into the country, so as to meet the needs of its own people.
To be able to think of this way, the inspiration came from a long-ago advertisement: "No middlemen make the difference!" ”
After carefully browsing the buyer's information, this is a country on the western coast of the Americas, the southern extension of the Americas is almost enough to reach Antarctica, and this country also relies on such a geographical location to catch a large number of Antarctic krill every year when it goes north along the ocean current into the west coast of the Americas, which is also one of their main pillar industries in China.
As for the reasons for the purchase of the particle cannon, they also wrote very clearly.
Every year there is a large amount of ice floes in Antarctica, which floats on the surface with the currents, causing great problems for local Antarctic krill fishing boats, and now is a good time to catch Antarctic krill, and they are ready to buy particle cannons to blast the ice floes off the sea.
"What a simple and kind man." Li Mingyu said with emotion.
That's the right thing to do with particle cannons, okay? Those brainless politicians know how to fight and kill every day.
The particle cannon was originally designed to equip interstellar mining ships, this weapon can melt meteorites that threaten mining ships into powder with a single shot, isn't this principle the same as theirs, one for mining, one for shrimp fishing.
How nice it would be to have a little more of these peace-loving countries in the world.
Approved the country's application for the purchase of three particle cannons, in exchange for three million tons of Antarctic krill.
On the Wakaba Public Resources Information Exchange Network, the information on the purchase order is completely public, and anyone can check and browse it on the website, and the news that the country used three million tons of Antarctic krill in exchange for three particle cannons quickly exploded.
Is it because this country called Bilu didn't wake up, or was Wakaba kicked in the head by a donkey?
Krill for cannons, and Wakaba really changed?
The Tingen country next to the road immediately became interested, Antarctic krill can be exchanged, I have hundreds of millions of cattle here, hurry up and apply to try, more than 100,000 cattle can really be exchanged for three particle cannons, this will not be transferred to grandma's house?
Not only Tinggen country, but also Lufei's bananas, Tans's cotton, and all kinds of agricultural and sideline products have applied for it on the Wakaba Public Resource Information Network, hoping to exchange for particle cannons and energy cannons, but it's really good to exchange a few sets of exoskeleton armor.
For a while, the military information interface on the official website, which was originally lightly traded, suddenly became lively, and all kinds of cattle and geese were sold in an endless stream, and the painting style was not much different from the vegetable market.
Even country M got involved and offered to exchange 8,000 tons of wheat for particle cannons.
In the northern Great Lakes region of country M, there are large areas of wheat and corn planting areas, and large areas of land have become one of the important grain exporters in the case of mechanized planting.
However, for a large number of trading orders on the website, only a small number of products are approved for trading after being screened by artificial intelligence.
For example, Antarctic krill, deep-sea cod, which are agricultural and sideline products with regional characteristics, and some high-end agricultural and sideline products that cannot be produced by the current agricultural cabin.
As for those conventional agricultural products such as wheat and corn, bananas and apples, they are all screened and eliminated by artificial intelligence, just kidding, the production efficiency of the agricultural cabin is several times that of mechanized planting, not to mention the efficiency of manual planting, this kind of thing can be produced as much as you want, the new base is not an agricultural and sideline products processing center, not everything is collected.
Other countries that have been rejected, then buy it with real money, or try it again with another thing.
For example, a superpower like country M, when there is a lot of money, is naturally reluctant to try again, according to the options on the military trading interface, almost every product is bought.
This behavior is obvious, and it is ready to be bought back for research.
However, there are also some countries that are relatively tight on funds, after the failure of agricultural and sideline products, they have replaced them with other things and continued to try, from agricultural products to industrial products to mineral raw materials, one by one.
As a result, they really tried it successfully, and some special minerals in some countries happened to be insufficient in the new base or ready to be purchased in the future, and artificial intelligence would also approve the transaction.
The model of exchanging military weapons for various new bases in short supply to other countries has begun to work initially, and it is believed that after the completion of a batch of transactions, the new bases will usher in more orders.
After all, arms buying and selling is a traditional project!
