Regarding the situation of this new material, many managers are also confused.
The person in charge of the Mining Department was the first to speak: "Currently, we can mine 2.4 to 2.8 tons of gold every month, and we can also extract 86 to 95 tons of gold from seawater every month."
Liu Zhifan looked at this data and asked Jiang Mingxuan, the head of the Science Department: "How much gold does a set of three-layer composite 100-megawatt thermoelectric generator need to use?"
"..." Jiang Mingxuan did not answer, but directly connected to the researchers at the 8092 laboratory and the researchers at the Electric Power Research Institute.
After more than ten minutes, I finally came up with a rough figure: "About 240 to 250 kilograms of gold need to be used."
"Too many!" Liu Zhifan had a headache.
According to this usage, Homo sapiens' monthly production of nearly 100 tons of gold is enough to manufacture 400 sets of 100-megawatt thermoelectric generators.
But no one got too carried away because this production capacity is far from enough.
If this part of the gold can be collected, then Homo sapiens' own gold alone can complete the upgrade of the power generation system.
Using gold's temperature difference material can increase thermal efficiency to the extreme, which is actually a disguised energy metal.
After all, the thermal efficiency has increased from an average of 45% to 99.41%, which means that the same power can be obtained by consuming less than half of the previous fuel.
Hearing this, the person in charge of the Space Department looked helpless.
"Jianxiong, your field department must increase its efforts to obtain more gold for the company, especially in Asia, where they have huge private reserves of gold resources."
And this material can't just be used in generators.
The person in charge of the Mining Department nodded: "This is an idea. Currently, the gold reserves in the underground ore seams and seabed mines we have discovered are quite good, about 700,000 to 900,000 tons, but mining is more troublesome."
In addition, the Field Service Department came forward to ask compradors from Tianzhu and Africa to help purchase gold from other regions.
Li Qingye left Chen Jianxiong alone.
Regarding this issue, everyone has a different opinion.
But it's different now.
Liu Zhifan's mouth twitched slightly: "The asteroid belt is too far away and is not operable for the time being."
"Yes, Chairman."
The gold dollar must not be untied from gold at this stage, otherwise it will affect the layout and promotion of many plans.
"Chairman, please rest assured that I will lead the field department to go all out." Chen Jianxiong replied seriously.
The same situation exists along the coast of Luzon Islands.
His subtext is to make money quickly to support the Department of Space.
Gold is endowed with "energy" properties.
Strive to complete the upgrading and transformation of the power generation industry within 10 years.
According to a sampling survey by the Ministry of Mines, the gold content in seawater in the Hongsawady coastal area where golden seaweed has been cultivated for a long time has dropped by about 40 to 50%.
Other executives also tend to be more conservative.
At the same time, he calls on all new humans to sell the gold jewelry in their homes to the company.
Of course, if Homo sapiens swallowed Tianzhu and then scraped it thoroughly, tens of thousands of tons of gold should be squeezed out.
We can even consider installing nuclear reactors in space stations and spacecrafts to generate electricity.
Although expanding the scale of gold seaweed cultivation can indeed quickly increase gold production capacity in a short period of time.
Liu Zhifan hesitated for a while, but still raised objections: "Chairman, I think the application of new materials can be promoted step by step. With the current gold production capacity of the company, it can still be satisfied in the initial stage."
The value of gold has become more and more popular with the emergence of new materials.
Even if it is used in batches, the current inventory will still not last long.
That's right, it's energy characteristics.
If this technology is acquired by the great powers, their productivity will be greatly improved, and they will also compete with Homo sapiens for limited gold resources.
In addition, the automobile heat engine can be replaced with a thermoelectric generator, and combined with a battery, the currently used micro gas turbine power generation system can be eliminated.
Spacecrafts, artificial satellites, and space stations in outer space all require temperature difference materials. After using this temperature difference material, the heat dissipation problem that has been plaguing spacecrafts will be solved.
Especially Tianzhu, which has a huge private gold reserve, has become a key target of Homo sapiens.
At this time, the installed capacity of Homo sapiens' thermal power generation devices is 3.62 million megawatts. If all of these thermal power generation devices were to be replaced with thermoelectric power generation devices, 8,900 tons of gold would be consumed.
Li Qingye also knew about this situation. He ordered the Ministry of Mines: "Add gold seaweed planting fields in the Malay Archipelago, Western Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and Ceylon to increase gold production capacity to 200 tons per month."
Thermoelectric conversion materials can also be applied to refrigeration.
The gold reserves of Homo sapiens are 2743 tons.
It's just that it's not suitable to annex Tianzhu at this stage. Many layouts of the Field Support Department have not yet been completed. Forcible annexation may cause the situation to get out of control.
Space mining is indeed immature at this stage, and the asteroid belt is too far away.
After more than three hours of intense discussion, we finally came to the conclusion that we should increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
And the gold content in seawater is not unlimited.
These applications will push Homo sapiens further.
After the meeting.
Li Qingye continued: "Now we need to discuss how to transfer the reserve gold to industry without affecting the stability of the gold standard of the gold dollar."
Increase the scale of gold seaweed cultivation, fully launch the mining of deep underground gold mines and seabed gold mines, and increase gold production capacity to 300 tons this year and 500 tons next year.
According to estimates, there is currently a large amount of gold held by Homo sapiens employees, about 6,000 to 7,000 tons in size.
At the same time, Li Qingye also ordered the blocking of relevant information to prevent this material from being discovered by the outside world.
The changes brought about by new materials tempted everyone present.
We must know that there are currently about 190,000 tons of gold mined in the world, 47% of which is used in jewelry, and the rest is used for investment, official reserves, and as industrial raw materials.
In particular, the manufacturing process of this material is a top priority.
After listening for a long time, Garfield suggested: "Maybe we can find a solution from the bottom of the sea and deep underground."
But looking at the situation now, it is definitely not a few hundred tons, but most of the gold must be invested in new materials.
If a few hundred tons are secretly transferred, it won't be a big problem.
Li Qingye also agrees with Liu Zhifan's point of view: "Space mining will not start until at least 2025. It may take until 2035 to exploit the resources of the asteroid belt. Space mining will not be considered in the short term."
In the past, the value of gold was mainly due to its scarcity and stability. Its industrial application was not very large, so the price seemed tepid.
At this moment, the head of the Space Department also quickly spoke for his department:
"In fact, there are many asteroids rich in gold in the asteroid belt. If we can capture such asteroids with extremely high gold content, our gold production will greatly increase in the future."
"There is one more thing I want to tell you..."
After hearing this, Chen Jianxiong's eyes changed slightly, but he still nodded without hesitation: "I will arrange it as soon as possible."
"Go for it!"
Looking at Chen Jianxiong who disappeared into the holographic conference room, his eyes were calm and seemed to be filled with various complex emotions, and then he clicked to log out.
