Chapter 72 Technological Innovation in Oil Refining

What does $200 billion in fiscal funding mean for Wakaba?

The total population of this small country on the equatorial continent does not exceed 30 million, of which nearly 20 million are in extreme poverty, and nearly 7 million are on the verge of poverty.

In this regard, Li Mingyu's suggestion to Wuma is: the great migration of the population.

The population of Wakaba scattered throughout the country will be concentrated in relatively developed cities, villages and towns for intensive management, and vigorously develop urban urbanization, on the one hand, a large area of industrial land can be reserved for future industrial development.

This is the line taken by the vast majority of developing countries around the world, and there are very mature examples in Wakaba to learn from.

Mature cases mean low risk, low cost of trial and error, and can make full use of late-mover advantages to avoid possible problems in the future in the development process.

Mr. Lee's new base is not yet able to fully accommodate all of Lower Wakaba's population, as he also needs a large area of land to plan future factories and other high-tech sites, and the nationwide planning can only be controlled by Wuma.

After a brief chat with President Wuma, Li Mingyu pushed him several sets of more mature planning plans for reference, as for what kind of development direction to choose, this is what he should worry about as a president.

Now the top priority of the new base is to expand production capacity again, and the eight military factories built before are now 150 percent overloaded, but they are still unable to meet the current production capacity needs.

A trillion orders is not a small amount, and it takes a lot of things out to get it back.

The new base is now basically lacking in everything, and the daily delivery of various mineral raw materials and oil to the ports of the Gulf of Guinea is still unable to fill the huge demand gap.

Among them, the most lacking is the olefin-3 polymer material.

This thing is currently being used in almost all parts of the production line at the new base, and the demand gap is too large when the production line is overloaded.

The planning and construction of the production line of the new base are quantitatively designed by intelligent programs, how many raw materials are needed for each production line, how many products can be produced by each raw material, and what is the production capacity of the production line, which are all planned in advance.

When Li Mingyu forcibly increased the production capacity of these production lines in order to complete the blowout of massive orders on the official website, then what awaited him must be the problem of insufficient supply of raw materials.

The lack of supply of other raw materials is okay, and spending money to buy it can naturally pull it back one by one, but olefin-3 polymer materials cannot.

Some links of many production lines have quite high requirements for the quality of olefin-3 polymer materials, and the products that can be purchased in large quantities in the world cannot meet the needs of the equipment.

Therefore, it is necessary for Li Mingyu to expand the production capacity of olefin-3 polymer material production line.

This is a very headache, the current new base of olefin-3 smelting equipment has been planned, if a new production line, in the case of insufficient orders in the future, the new base will face a long-term overcapacity, but if a new production line is not built, then the current production capacity will certainly not be able to meet the demand for raw materials.

To this end, Li Mingyu's solution is very simple, use more efficient crude oil smelting technology!

The traditional crude oil smelting method is carried out by distillation, and the purpose of separating objects is achieved through the different boiling points of the substances contained in it, while the current crude oil smelting technology of the new base uses X-ray cracking to smelt crude oil, which is hundreds of times that of traditional crude oil smelting.

The crude oil smelting line that is going to be renovated will smelt crude oil by gamma ray cracking, X-ray and gamma ray cracking are two completely different concepts, X-ray is obtained from an artificial ray ray device, and gamma ray is emitted by the spontaneous decay of radionuclides.

The use of gamma ray modification devices requires the use of a certain amount of radioactive material.

In the past, although Li Mingyu knew that the efficiency of gamma-ray cracking was higher, he still used X-ray cracking with relatively low efficiency, largely because this thing has radiation, of course, poverty is also one of the very important reasons.

Radiation is something that cannot be seen or touched by the naked eye, but it does not have a practical impact on the surrounding environment and organisms all the time, and the radiation produced by excessive radioactive substances can lead to cancer, albinism, deformities and a series of extremely terrible diseases, and if one is not done well, it is a disaster.

And in the current situation, Li Mingyu has to put this plan back on the agenda.

Not only for the production of olefin-3 type, but also for the production of materials with better performance!

At present, the material base has been relatively perfect, and the new base has formed a relatively complete material production system in the rapid development, and the radiation protection device that was originally difficult to build can be realized under the existing manufacturing process.

The original pyrolysis furnace for olefin-3 was completely dismantled and transported deep into the jungle to the southwest, where a pit of several kilometers deep will be built to fill the industrial wastewater produced by olefin-3.

Xiaoyu has used a detector to map this area before, the geological structure of this area is very stable, it is not prone to wastewater leakage, and there is no underground water source to pass through, so there is no need to worry about radioactive wastewater contaminating the underground water source.

The entire cracking furnace is surrounded by a layer of radiation-proof alloy structure, and a layer of zeolite is laid on the periphery of the alloy structure, which is formed by volcanic eruptions and can effectively isolate the radiation generated by radioactive materials.

On the periphery of the zeolite, a thick shell was poured with steel and concrete, and the entire cracking furnace looked like a huge taro half-inserted in the ground from the outside. After the radioactive material is transported in, the entire pyrolysis furnace will be fully enclosed, and a radius of several hundred meters will be designated as a quarantine area to prevent the surrounding people or tourists from entering the area.

These measures are the best way Li Mingyu can think of at present, if there are still problems in this way, it can only be said that it is destined to be a lone star.

The new pyrolysis furnace was quickly built, and a large-diameter steel line stretching from the port of the Gulf of Guinea to the southwest of the new site was laid on a mobile loading and unloading platform at a depth of 30 meters.

Tankers from overseas can dump imported crude oil directly into huge outlet tanks at ports in the Gulf of Guinea, and the crude oil will flow down the laid-up website to the cracking furnace.

The efficiency of the new gamma-ray cracking furnace is more than ten times that of the original X-ray cracking furnace, and thousands of times the smelting efficiency of the traditional distillation method.

The construction of the new pyrolysis furnace took nearly two days, and this process was undoubtedly extremely slow in the construction of the entire new base, but after all, it involved the problem of radiation, so Li Mingyu did not dare to be sloppy in the slightest.

After the construction was completed, Li Mingyu called Wuma and reported to him the problem of radiation in the new pyrolysis furnace.

"Radiation? Are you kidding me??? "When President Uma heard that Lee Myung-woo had built a cracking furnace in Wakaba that would produce radiation, he felt bad.

"Did you know that the use of radioactive materials needs to be reviewed by experts, and what if it affects the population?" President Uma said angrily.

Li Mingyu smiled: "How professional can those experts of yours be, don't worry, the people from the Matrix Research Institute have come to see it, and the radiation generated will not affect the surrounding residents." I am calling you to discuss this matter, and for the sake of insurance, I am going to expropriate all the villages in the area near the pyrolysis furnace, and I need to discuss with you the issue of compensation for the residents. ”

Hearing that the people of the Matrix Research Institute had seen it, Wu Ma was relieved, the strength of the Matrix Research Institute was obvious to all, and they said that there was no problem, which was more reliable than the half-experts under their command who said that there was no problem.

"In the past, we paid compensation of $10 per square meter for the expropriation of residents' land, and an additional $50 per square meter for the residence."

After a pause, President Wuma changed his joking tone: "Your new base has such a high profit, so you won't be reluctant to spend money on the residents' compensation." ”

Li Mingyu on the other end of the phone rolled his eyes and gave his compensation opinion: "What age are you all paying for compensation, you can listen to the conditions of the new base." ”

"We are ready to buy that piece of land at a price of 200,000 US dollars per mu, as for the compensation and compensation, your government will do it, I have no opinion on whether you are willing to give 50 US dollars per square meter or 100 US dollars per square meter, and I can give an additional subsidy of 300,000 US dollars per household in this area, and at the same time provide a new base of real estate, if these residents are not willing to accept the new base of real estate, then it can be exchanged for a million dollars in cash."

Hearing Lee Myung-woo's offer, President Uma asked in disbelief, "Are you sure you're here to do business and not to do charity?" The first time I heard that there are active price increases, I know you can make money very much, but the money is not spent like this, your plan is simply using a helicopter to throw money! ”

Lee Myung-woo did not answer President Uma's question head-on.

"You can't always measure Wakaba in the eyes of the past and the present."

"Do you think the price of land in the center of the world, 200,000 US dollars per mu, is it expensive?"

"I'm not doing charity, I'm just investing in the future!"
