Research teams in various countries have applied graphene composites to some cutting-edge industries, and the strong performance of graphene composites has amazed everyone involved in the research.

To the southwest of the new base, the previously purchased rocket launch platform has been assembled, and several newly installed production lines are working day and night to print their own low-Earth orbit space station.

The interior of the low-Earth orbit space station is nearly 1,000 square meters, which is several times larger than the low-Earth orbit space station currently in orbit.

Thanks to breakthroughs in the research of new materials, the large-volume orbital space station weighs less than one-tenth of that of other in-orbit space stations, and the orbital space station will be split into three parts, each loaded into three launch modules of the same rocket, and transported to the Earth's low-earth orbit at one time.

Unlike other low-Earth orbit space stations, the low-Earth orbit space station in Wakaba does not have any scientific research equipment, and the interior of the space station is full of various cosmic ray and energetic particle collection devices except for conventional life-supporting equipment.

Due to the strong magnetic field of the earth and the protection of the atmosphere, all kinds of cosmic rays and high-energy particles in the universe cannot directly reach the surface of the earth, and it is almost impossible to collect cosmic rays and high-energy particles from the surface.

In the vast cosmic space, the exotic materials produced by supernova explosions, star failures, planetary collisions and other factors will be irregularly distributed throughout the universe, and these exotic materials are likely to contain some rare materials that are difficult to obtain after refining, some materials are produced in the interior of the star due to high temperature and high pressure, some materials are formed by supernova explosions under the action of powerful particle streams, and even some are because black holes are at the end of their lives. Black hole matter ejected by the inverse effect of gravity.

These things are almost impossible to obtain from ordinary stars or planets, and can only be purified by collecting cosmic rays or high-energy particles, and if you are lucky, you may be able to refine some bits and pieces of matter.

But even just to get these bits and pieces of material can be costly, because they are so critical.

On the land purchased by the new site in the southwest, the construction of three new cracking furnaces began, and the new cracking furnaces were all made of safer and more efficient materials, and graphene composite materials were widely used in the construction of new cracking furnaces.

Graphene composites are very suitable for the cracking reaction of the new pyrolysis furnace because of the different bidirectional properties, and the inner wall of the new pyrolysis furnace is constructed with it, which will hardly produce any radiation escape in the cracking process, and at the same time, the good isolation effect can greatly improve the yield of high-purity olefins.

At present, Saudi Arabia has completed most of the orders for the new base, and only needs to produce and ship the remaining thousands of sets of exoskeleton armor, and the remaining 100 billion US dollars will be remitted directly from international banks to the account of the new base.

The order of one trillion dollars really almost made Li Mingyu's production line scrapped, and the entire military factory in the northeast has been in a state of high-load operation, so Li Mingyu even specially arranged hundreds of maintenance robots to inspect the production line around the clock to ensure that there will be no problems in the production line of the military factory.

Fortunately, the quality of the production line designed by Xiaoyu is excellent, even with such a high-intensity overload operation, there are almost no systemic problems in the entire production line, at most there are some minor failures due to mechanical wear, and the final delivery of the order is not delayed.

After the products on the order were delivered to Saudi Arabia, the new equipment was quickly applied to the army, whether it was exoskeleton armor or Mach 50 missiles, as well as the artifact particle cannon, all of which were unanimously praised by their military without exception.

Bunier and Colbert were originally just ordinary crown princes, and the degree of attention in the royal family has been limited, this time because of the outstanding performance of arms procurement, Bunier has been promoted to the head of the Ministry of Energy, and Colbert was also transferred to the military command post as a staff officer because of the merits of this procurement, and the two people who were previously outside the center of power suddenly became a pivotal role in the political whirlpool.

On the day of Bunier's inauguration at the Ministry of Energy, he called Li Mingyu, warmly thanked Li Mingyu, and also expressed his willingness to cooperate with Wakaba in the field of energy, and invited Li Mingyu to visit their country.

In order to realize the mass production plan of high-purity olefins as soon as possible, Li Mingyu took the initiative to call Bunier, the local tyrant's father who left a deep impact on Li Mingyu.

"Dear Buniel, how are you doing?" Li Mingyu greeted on the phone.

Buniel's voice on the other end of the phone was a little tired: "Don't mention it, since I came to the Ministry of Energy, I haven't had a day off, oh my God, I can't imagine that I will have to live such a busy life in the future." ”

Although Bunier's words were full of complaints, Li Mingyu could hear from his tone that he should be in a good mood now, a crown prince who has been isolated from the center of power for a long time, has lived a life of eating and waiting for death for decades, and suddenly one day comes into contact with the power that was once unimaginable, no matter how tedious these tasks are, Li Mingyu believes that he is very willing to bear the pain of this job in his heart.

Saudi Arabia, a state power that is completely dependent on oil, the center of power is completely built around this black gold, the influence of international politics, fiscal taxes, and foreign exchange income are all closely related to oil, and the position of the head of the Ministry of Energy is completely above other departments.

"My friend, the body is the capital of the revolution, if you feel tired, you might as well take the time to come to the new base for a vacation, I believe you will forget all your troubles here." Li Mingyu warmly invited.

A tyrant father like Bunier, it is not too much for Li Mingyu to come, and the consumption of a meal for these people can be worth the fiscal taxes of Wakaba in the previous year.

"Wakaba is indeed a place to linger, although it has only been two weeks, but to be honest, I already miss your steaks a little, but I have been too busy lately to take a break, my friend, you should not call to catch up, is there anything I can do to help you?" Bunier asked Li Mingyu while greeting.

Li Mingyu smiled and said in a joking tone: "You are a busy person now, I don't dare to delay your time, tomorrow the exoskeleton armor you ordered will be produced, and our fleet will still transport the equipment to the Persian port, please sign for it at that time." ”

"Oh? Was it done so quickly? I'm really surprised by your efficiency, our military department is very happy with your new equipment, and I've heard from Colbert that they are planning to add a purchase order for exoskeleton armor to equip all units with exoskeleton armor. Bunier revealed.

Li Mingyu, who heard this, swallowed his saliva, it is worthy of being a country that is used to local tyrants, the price of a set of exoskeleton armor is not low, if all the troops are replaced with exoskeleton armor, how much budget will it cost to buy it?

Besides, the current exoskeleton armor is only relatively strong in land combat, and there is still no way to encounter air units, energy cannons and particle cannons are weapons with a low rate of fire, not to mention supersonic fighters, even ordinary fighters can't hit, in the weapons currently sold by Li Mingyu, there are basically no anti-air weapons, even if it is the fastest Mach 50 missile, it is also a pure ground weapon.

can think of replacing all the troops with exoskeleton armor, except for the local tyrant, Li Mingyu really can't find a more appropriate adjective.

"My friend, is this news reliable? While I do want to make this money, the capacity of the new base is limited at the moment, and if it is a large-scale order in the near future, we may not be able to complete the delivery in a short time. Li Mingyu hesitated for a moment, but still asked Bunier.

"This Corbett may be clearer, I'll ask him again when I go back, did you just say that the production capacity of the new base is not enough, did you encounter any trouble?" Bunier replied.

Li Mingyu said with a hint of embarrassment: "This is also the second thing I want to talk to you about." ”

"You also know that the new base production line has a large demand for olefin-3 type, although the amount of crude oil we import is already very large, but it is still unable to support the demand of the new base production line, the current major oil producing countries are giving priority to ensuring long-term orders in the case of limited production capacity, and Wakaba has fewer partners and has been unable to obtain more crude oil import production."

"I'll just figure it out and see if I can buy some crude oil from you."

Bunier was silent for a moment: "I have a general understanding of the situation of the new base, your demand for crude oil is indeed huge, and I have reported to the king before that Wakaba is likely to return to our next important export partner." How much output do you need, if it is less than 30,000 tons, I can directly grant it to you. ”

"Uh..." Li Mingyu heard the output of 30,000 tons, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Bunier asked intimately: "What's the matter, my friend, is 30,000 tons too little?" If you need more, I should be fine with intercession with the Secretary of State. ”

"That's... I want to buy 100 million tons, okay? Li Mingyu asked cautiously.

"How much? 100 million tons ??? Bunier on the other end of the line was like a cat with its tail stepped on.

"Oh my God, what do you want so much crude oil for? That's all we have at the moment. ”

Li Mingyu hurriedly added: "I can pay for 50 million tons of crude oil in advance." ”

"When are you going to do it!"

"As soon as possible!"

"My friend, did you investigate our crude oil reserves beforehand? To tell the truth, our current total emergency reserves of crude oil are 150 million tons, and the total amount that can be called up is just 100 million tons, I think it should not be a coincidence. Buniel's tone was a little stiff, as if he was dissatisfied with Li Mingyu's seeing through their details.

"Bunier, I think you're mistaken, I really need 100 million tons of crude oil, and the high-purity olefins at the new base need to use a lot of crude oil for refining, and you know how much demand this thing has." Li Mingyu's tone was full of sincerity.

After a moment of silence, Bunier sighed: "Well, I believe you, I will report this matter to the king." ”

Hanging up the phone with Bunier, Li Mingyu breathed a long sigh of relief: "I almost overturned..."

After only two weeks in power, is this guy's political sense already so sharp? Sure enough, the speed at which power transforms people is astonishing.

Of course, the survey has been investigated in advance, and the reserves of 100 million tons cannot be obtained by any country in the world.

Li Mingyu folded his hands and prayed:

"Second Master Guan bless, this thing must be done, whether I can go to heaven or not depends on this wave."
