Tech Life Chapter 751-753

 Chapter 751

The research significance and strategic importance of metallic hydrogen is so great that it is just as well if it is not encountered, once it is encountered, if it is let go, Fan Lao feels that he can go and resign.


        "Fan Lao, you also know that metallic hydrogen can't be found, so if you think it's expensive, it's fine. This piece of metallic hydrogen, you can take it back and study it for yourselves, and when you have researched it in ten or eight years, you will know how difficult it is for our company."


        Li Linfei shook his head and spoke in a serious and at the same time somewhat sighing manner.


        "Mr Li, it really can't be cheap?" Tan Gang asked.


        "Minister Tan, we're both old acquaintances."


        Li Linfei frowned and said, "Believe it or not, if I put out the samples of metallic hydrogen, within three days, someone will definitely come to me, and I can sell fifty tons of metallic hydrogen for two hundred and fifty billion."


        Tan Gang's face paled, he subconsciously did not believe it, but after thinking it over, he had to believe it.


        Because the value of metallic hydrogen was too high, he had previously read the academic report sent by the people below him, saying that the value of metallic hydrogen was between one thousand and thirty thousand yuan per gram, and the price Li Linfei wanted was indeed not expensive, only over three thousand a gram.


        However, since Li Linfei had said that he had 50 tons of hydrogen, this guy must be able to produce it.


        With so much metallic hydrogen in front of him, Tan Gang couldn't let go of a single gram, he had to take it all.


        "Alas ...... let's do it this way, Little Li, 200 billion is 200 billion, but I have three demands." Fan Lao said.


        "You say." Li Linfei's eyes lit up, this old man, he really agreed.


        "First, from the day you sign the contract, you have to have fifty tons of metallic hydrogen ready within two months."


        Li Linfei showed a difficult look and said, "This ...... Fan Lao, you also know that the production of metallic hydrogen is very difficult and the conditions are harsh, two months is too short, right?"


        Although it was feasible, it could not be shown too directly, otherwise it would not be fun to let the military think that Li Linfei could mass produce it.


        "This is not negotiable, you won't even lower the price if I ask you to, if it doesn't work, our cooperation is terminated!" Fan Lao said categorically.


        "Fan Lao, there's really no way, at least six months."


        Li Linfei spread his hands, he was not going to be bluffed by Fan Lao's three words.


        "Three months!" Fan Lao was silent for a few breaths and loosened his mouth.


        "Six months."


        "At most, I'll give you four months, so you can pull out a little more manpower to get it done, this 200 billion, do you still want it or not?" Fan Lao looked at Li Linfei with some anger.


        Seeing this, Li Linfei knew that he could not continue to fool around, so he coughed and said, "Fine, fine, four months is four months, by then, I will definitely have everything ready for you."


        "It's not that we'll give it by then, it's that we have to deliver a portion of it every month, and we're taking some away to take back to study today." Fan Lao said.


        "That's fine too."


        "Hmm."


        Fan Lao continued, "Secondly, in terms of transparent aluminium material, we want the best quality of transparency, we also want your company's laser cutting machine, and also the holographic projection technology, which must also be provided to our military."


        After hearing Fan Lao's words, Li Linfei bristled, "Fan Lao, transparent aluminium is no problem, but laser cutting machines and holographic technology, you have to spend money to buy them, that said, your military should have technical reserves in this area, don't they?"


        Li Linfei looked at Fan Lao somewhat strangely, now the internet is blowing what laser cutting, water cutting and three-dimensional imaging, and also the whole set, the country should have quite sufficient technical reserves in these aspects ah.


        "Ahem, there is, but it's not very mature, so ......" Tan Gang interjected.


        "OK, the technology is no problem, but you have to pay." It wasn't considered core technology, so Li Linfei didn't intend to have a monopoly in this area, and there was no harm in selling it to them.


        "That's for sure."


        Fan Lao added: "Thirdly well, you can only supply metal hydrogen to our military, you can't sell it to other countries and organisations, otherwise ......"


        Li Linfei interrupted Fan Lao with a wave of his hand and said unhappily, "Fan Lao, you are going too far by saying that. Graphene was just a request before, but metallic hydrogen, no way, unless ......"


        "Unless what?"


        Li Linfei smiled heatedly and said, "Unless your military can guarantee to purchase three hundred billion of metallic hydrogen from my company every year for a ten-year contract."


        He was not a fool, nowadays, all countries in the world were researching metallic hydrogen, and the Yanks had even made it once, even though it had disappeared, but who could guarantee that the next time they made it, it would not disappear and could still be produced?


        Therefore, he had to take advantage of this period of time to apply the principle of "scarcity is precious" to the utmost, otherwise, after ten or eight years, the yellow flowers will be cold.


        At these words, the corners of Fan Lao's lips twitched. 300 billion of metal hydrogen was traded every year, thanks to Li Linfei for saying that. They bought the hydrogen back, partly for building a controlled fusion device at room temperature, and partly for research, so 50 tons was enough.


        How can they sign a ten-year contract worth a trillion dollars?


Chapter 752

"Alas, okay, no hard and fast requirements for you, but you have to promise that you are not allowed to sell it to other countries until the deal is completed, and the material, metallic hydrogen, has to be announced as a successful development by the state."


        Fan Lao's face became smiling and he said, "Little Li, your company is too popular now, and metallic hydrogen is also an epoch-making product, if your company announces the success of the research and development, it will not be good news for you.


        The wind will destroy the wood when it's in the forest, any Chinese knows this saying.


        However, as long as the military didn't trip him up, Li Linfei really wasn't afraid that others would mess with him.


        The group of guys were eating big fish and meat every day. However, since Fan Lao had given in, Li Linfei was too embarrassed to continue to be insistent and bite the bullet.


        They military wanted this R&D right, he understood in his heart, or to beat the face of other countries in the international arena.


        Moreover, once Metal Hydrogen announced the R&D right in the form of the state, and after the future deal was over, Li Linfei then released that Metal Hydrogen future technology was developed, then by then everyone with a clear eye would know that Super Dimensional Technology and the state had a great relationship.


        Such an invisible umbrella, of course, Li Linfei had to borrow it and use it.


        So, in the end, Fan Lao's proposal was a mutually beneficial and win-win strategy for both sides.


        After verbally agreeing to cooperate, the two sides immediately set off for the Future Technology Building, quickly drew up a contract and signed it.


        Then Fan Lao and Tan Gang returned to Yanjing on a warplane.


        Li Linfei next also kept defeating his family and doing tasks.


        During this period, Vice Dean Tian of the Medical Department of Central South University, with a few several students, insisted that Li Linfei show him the medical system, Li Linfei could not refuse and could only take them to have a look, then Vice Dean Tian went back with great enthusiasm.


        Look at that happy look on his face, as if he had eaten honey, alas, strange people.


        ......


        Time soon passed a month, this month the sales of super generation one mobile phone has been high, the orders on the network is slightly down, but the physical shop mobile phone is robbed crazy.


        And only a short month had passed since the Super Generation II and Transparent Aluminium phones, and more than 800 of the more than 1,000 physical shops across the country had indicated that the phones were about to be sold out, requesting the main assembly plant to hurry up and transfer them.


        Naturally, under the arrangement of the company's senior management, those physical shops that were out of stock were quickly replenished.


        However, as the current situation developed, the production of more than one hundred sets of mobile phone production lines on the Chinese side, with a daily output of more than one million mobile phones, was still not enough.


        According to the company's analysts, the super generation has gradually become a trend, and given four or five months, it will completely replace the influence of Apple, Huawei, OPPO, Vivo and Xiaomi in the market.


        According to their projections, by the end of December this year, the sales of perfect mobile phones in China will be at least 500 to 600 million.


        If we take into account the explosive purchasing power of the market, a daily production line of nearly two million mobile phones will be needed to keep the sales volume of mobile phones at a normal level at all times.


        In other words, there would have to be more than a hundred production lines on the Chinese side, and there is still a shortfall of a dozen.


        In fact, the mobile phone production lines are not a problem, as Li Er has already assembled enough production line equipment, the only thing missing is the robots.


        A dozen sets of production lines would require two hundred robots to play around with.


        In the afternoon yesterday, Li Lin went to the general assembly factory, exchanged the five hundred robots, casually exchanged a hundred robots with divine pride points, purchased enough robots, and then had them quickly put into production.


Chapter 753

Just as Li Linfei was exchanging robots in the factory to speed up the production of super-generation mobile phones and transparent aluminium phones.


        In the office of the Military Commission's Science and Technology Committee, the Director of the Science and Technology Committee, Lu Liang, was sorting out documents when the Deputy Director rushed in with an important report.


        "Director, there's some major news!"


        "What is it?" Lu Liang looked at him with a smile.


        "Just now, Harvard University in the United States published a paper claiming that metallic hydrogen has been made again, and it comes with a drawing of the metallic hydrogen material, look!"


        As he spoke, this deputy director handed the report in his hand to Lu Liang.


        The latter took a look at it and frowned.


        "None of us have ever seen metallic hydrogen, but ......"


        Lu Liang said with a slightly sullen expression, "Haver's group dares to post the graphics and explain the uses so blatantly, then this is something that they have probably already worked out!"


        The deputy director added, "I think so too, except that ...... before Academician Zhai of the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that metallic hydrogen could not be made at the 5 million standard atmospheric pressure given by the Yankees, but now they have made it again, so there is only one possibility, that is, the data given by the Yankees are wrong, or that metallic hydrogen is simply not made that way."


        "Well, you've analysed it well." Lu Liang nodded.


        "Metallic hydrogen is of great importance, this thing is a key to unlock the new energy era of the future, if the Americans get it first, for our country, it is not a good thing!"


        Ambient temperature controlled fusion technology is a technology that every major country in the world is now extremely eager to have, but limited by the lack of materials, no one can control this technology. And once it is mastered, it will give them absolute initiative in terms of energy.


        Although the main source of energy in this era is still oil, coal, etc., but with the passage of time, the future of new energy development, especially fusion nuclear energy, will become the most cutting-edge energy.


        ......


        General Logistics Department of the Military Commission, in the Minister's office.


        Tan Gang took a copy of the data report and, after taking a closer look, his heart surged.


        "Minister, it's really amazing, the sub-stable nature of these metallic hydrogens exceeds the data given by Harvard University in the US by a factor of three!" On the side, stood a blue-clad scientist who was over the age of his armour. He was the same expert who had gone to the Institute of Future Technology with Fan Lao and Tan Gang that day and had seen the metallic hydrogen with his own eyes.


        After returning to Yanjing, Tan Gang had him lead people to start secretly testing the nature of metallic hydrogen, and after more than a week of testing, he finally got the full data report out.


        He could not contain his excitement and said, "After our repeated tests, we found that this quality of metallic hydrogen does have the effect of directionally bound plasma and can remain superconducting at room temperature ......."


        Tan just put down the data report and let out a long breath, "Future technology ...... Li Linfei that kid really did not lie, good good."


        With a flash of brilliant light in his eyes, Tan Gang said, "According to you, a controlled fusion device can be actually made out of metallic hydrogen?"


        "Yes, it can, but it will take some time."


        "How long?"


        "Maybe a few months, maybe a year or more, but definitely no more than two years."


        "Two years? Well ...... isn't that long." Tan just clenched his fist and a smile appeared on his face. Just then, someone knocked on the door and came in.


        "Minister, new information has arrived from the United States." A man in his thirties knocked on the door that was left open and stood in the doorway.


        "Come in and talk." Tan Gang said.


        The man answered and entered, greeted the expert in blue, then recounted, "I just received news that Harvard University in the United States has once again announced that it has researched metallic hydrogen, and this time it has produced three samples, with pictures, take a look."


        He handed the document in his hand to Tan Gang.


        The scientist in blue looked at it and snorted, "How dare you show off a few grams of metallic hydrogen?"


        The man did not understand this, he did not ask, and continued, "Minister, many academicians and scholars below have called to discuss this matter, what do you think?"


        "How do I see it? Naturally, I am looking at it with open eyes."


        Tan just stood up, looked at the man, handed him that data report on metallic hydrogen just now and said, "Print some of this report, send part of it secretly into the hands of the President and Fan Lao, and the other part ...... Well, immediately convene a seminar, let the group of scientists from the Energy Bureau and the Materials Research Bureau all come, when the time comes this data will be shown to them."


        The man took the data report and scanned it, his eyes showed surprise, what did he see?


        What did he see? A full-scale data test report on metallic hydrogen, a test report on metallic hydrogen! Has China already developed metallic hydrogen?


        My God, it's not true!


        "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up."


        Seeing that the man was not moving, Tan just frowned and barked at him.


        "Yes, I'll go immediately!" Suppressing the speculation in his heart, he hurriedly answered and went down to arrange things.
