Chapter 782 A New Generation of Seawater Extraction Technology
Chapter 782 A new generation of seawater refining technology
The plane took off slowly, and on the other side, Zhang Hongbin received the notice that Gao Jin's special plane had left Rizao Market.
"How come this time is so immediate? Could it be that Gao Jin got some news in advance?" Zhang Hongbin looked at the invitation in his hand and said this to himself.
The economic forum was held in the imperial capital. This time it was a forum jointly held by six ministries and commissions to discuss the impact of scientific and technological development on the economy.
This is the highest-level forum in China. No foreigners are invited to participate. The only people invited are the bosses, CEOs, and presidents of domestic high-tech companies.
As the world's leading technology giant, Xingling Group, if Gao Jin does not participate, the level of this forum will be lowered by several levels.
Zhang Hongbin also just received the invitation, and the person who sent it is still in the compound.
Things happened by chance.
Zhang Hongbin picked up the phone and started dialing. After a short time, the call was connected, and a middle-aged man's voice came out, "Old Zhang, is that you?"
"it's me"
"Old Tang, I just received a report from the airport. Gao Jin's special plane just took off. Someone saw with his own eyes that Gao Jin was on the plane." Zhang Hongbin said this helplessly.
"No way, what a coincidence." Tang Zhiyuan said this in surprise. He had just told Zhang Hongbin about it when Gao Jin left the early morning market.
How could things happen by such a coincidence? If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would never believe it.
"That's how it is," Zhang Hongbin said with a wry smile.
"Lao Zhang, please contact Gao Jin and see when he will come back. Otherwise, brother, I won't be able to do the job." Tang Zhiyuan said this very uncomfortably.
"no problem"
"While I'm contacting Gao Jin, you should also report this matter to your superiors. It happened too suddenly."
The thing happened too suddenly. Understanding Tang Zhiyuan's difficulties, Zhang Hongbin said this politely.
The two communicated for a while and then hung up the phone.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening. Zhang Hongbin, Xiao Yunxian, and Tang Zhiyuan were having a drink together.
After a glass of wine, Tang Zhiyuan started asking, "Lao Zhang, what do you say over there?"
"My call was answered by Gao Jin's assistant Sonia, who said that Gao Jin had fallen asleep. This sudden departure was because Gao Jin received a call from Patis Island. It seemed that there was something urgent."
"She doesn't know what the specific matter is. It's hard to say when she will come back. She will convey the matter and ask Gao Jin to call me back."
Zhang Hongbin told the truth about what happened in the afternoon. Xiao Yunxian and Tang Zhiyuan were both stunned. A phone call could make Gao Jin rush over.
Could it be that something big is going to happen on Pattis Island?
"There is only one Oceanographic Research Institute on Pattis Island. Are there any special projects going on there?" Xiao Yun frowned and said.
"Old Xiao, it's wrong of you to say that." Tang Zhiyuan looked at Xiao Yun with deep meaning and said first.
Xiao Yun first looked at Tang Zhiyuan's expression and knew that Tang Zhiyuan knew something that he didn't know, so he said rudely, "You must know more than me, tell me."
"Although the outside world thinks that Dorenado Island is a research and development base of the Protoss Group, there are also many projects being carried out on Patis Island."
“In terms of safety, Patis Island is not much weaker than Torenado Island.”
"I also accidentally heard from the big guys that the Protoss Group is carrying out several very special projects on Pattis Island, and the security level is very strict."
"The only news I got is that the satellite accidentally photographed a very strange aircraft taking off from Patis Island. According to analysis, new aircraft are being developed on Patis Island."
"This is just one of the items discovered. It is not yet known what the other items are."
"However, from the perspective of security level, the value of other projects is also very great, definitely exceeding the currently known projects."
"Didn't Gao Jin say it at the forum in Dubai? If Xingling Group commercializes all the technologies it has mastered, it will definitely change the course of human science."
"This sentence is really not nonsense, this is our internal analysis!"
Tang Zhiyuan said these words with profound meaning. Zhang Hongbin and Xiao Yun were both stunned at first, and looked at Tang Zhiyuan seriously.
"I thought this kid was just showing off when he said this, but I didn't expect it to be true." Zhang Hongbin said this with a shocked expression on his face. Xiao Yunxian nodded immediately, fully agreeing with Zhang Hongbin's words.
At that time, Xiao Yunxian also thought that Gao Jin was showing off.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Xiao, you have to work hard on the Xingling Group, maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"The scientific and technological power of Xingling Group is stronger than you think!"
Tang Zhiyuan said that there is no need to talk about it here, and it would violate the confidentiality regulations. He could only use words to enlighten these two people. If they don't understand, the higher-ups will probably make adjustments.
Although the two of them have done well in the past few years, they have not met the requirements of their superiors. Especially in terms of high-tech cooperation with the Xingling Group, there has been very little progress.
It's a bit of a reversal of priorities, and this is the most dissatisfying part of the above.
In the evening, Gao Jin's special plane landed slowly at Pattis Island Airport. Jesmi, the person in charge of Pattis Island, was waiting at the airport with a simple hydrogen vehicle.
As soon as Gao Jin got off the plane, Jasmine came over to greet him. They shook hands and asked Gao Jin to get in the car. The motorcade immediately drove to the airport towards the villa.
It was a bit late today. Gao Jin chatted with Jesmi for a few words and then asked Jesmi to go back and rest. He would wait until he finished inspecting the Oceanographic Research Institute before discussing in detail.
One night passed.
Early in the morning, Kang Shouhai, the head of the Institute of Oceanography, arrived at the villa where Gao Jin was staying. Gao Jin invited Kang Shouhai to have breakfast with him and then left in a simple hydrogen car.
Jane and Sonia were in the villa next door. They knew that Gao Jin would not let them participate in the institute's affairs, so they planned to take a late nap today.
The vehicle drove for more than 20 minutes and arrived at the Institute of Oceanography. After Kang Shouhai conducted three verifications, he took Gao Jin into a newly completed experimental building inside the institute.
Originally there was only one Oceanographic Research Institute building on Pattis Island. In recent years, three buildings have been built one after another.
The building Kang Shouhai and Gao Jin entered today was eight stories high. They needed to be verified to enter the elevator. After passing the verification, they went directly to the eighth floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Dr. Haisha, the project leader in charge of this time, came over. Gao Jin shook hands with Dr. Haisha and walked forward with a smile on his face.
Arriving in a specially built safe house nearby, Dr. Haisha said, "Boss, you can clearly see the entire experimental process through the large window here. I'll go prepare it and show it to the boss right away."
"Okay, I look forward to the miracles you bring, Dr. Haisha," Gao Jin said with a smile.
Dr. Heisha smiled, left the safe house, and began to instruct the researchers on the team to start preparations to show the latest results in front of the boss.
This is related to everyone's bonus, no one dares to neglect, and starts busy according to the instructions.
"Lao Kang, when did Dr. Haisha make a breakthrough?" Gao Jin asked calmly.
"Boss, the day before I call you"
"After I got the news, I watched it myself, and then raised the security level of Dr. Haisha's project by two levels. The news has been blocked."
"Apart from me and Dr. Haisha's team, only the boss knows."
Kang Shouhai understood the intention of Gao Jin's question, so he made a report very calmly. Gao Jin nodded with satisfaction after listening.
Seawater is a very complex multi-component aqueous solution, and various elements in seawater exist in certain physical and chemical forms.
In seawater, copper exists in more complex forms, most of which exist in the form of organic compounds.
Seawater contains various salts, about 90% of which is sodium chloride, which is table salt.
It also contains magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium carbonate and other salts containing potassium, iodine, sodium, bromine and other elements.
The manufacturing of aircraft, ships, missiles, and spacecraft are all related to magnesium metal.
Obtaining materials from seawater is a project Gao Jin has always had high hopes for. In the entire Xingling Group's R&D system, there are more than 20 project teams and more than 400 people working hard in this general direction.
Progress is very slow. After all, the Protoss Group is the only one in the world that has invested heavily in this general direction.
Moreover, it involves many unpopular subjects and there are not many talents.
It is quite rare for Xingling Group to be able to recruit more than 400 high-quality talents.
This number of people is more than all other teams in the world combined.
Xingling Group lags far behind in other projects, but in the research and development of seawater utilization, it is definitely No. 1 in the human world.
The accumulated technology is quite rich and has formed a basic foundation.
Regarding seawater refining technology, Xingling Group has completed the first-generation technology reserve, and the researchers responsible for the first-generation technology have retired with generous bonuses.
After Haisha took over the project, it directly started the research and development of the second generation. According to Gao Jin's requirements, the refining efficiency must be visible to the naked eye.
If this is not achieved, the second generation research and development will not be completed.
Soon, the equipment on the eighth floor began to start up. As each piece of equipment started up, the pipes leading to the sea from the outside began to start up, pumping seawater through the three layers of filtration.
Time passed slowly, and the equipment ran for a full thirty minutes before it stopped.
The researchers started to get busy. It didn't take long. They followed Dr. Haisha to the outside of the safe room with nine plates. Gao Jin and Kang Shouhai also walked out.
"Boss, this is the result of half an hour. We have extracted sodium chloride, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium carbonate and potassium and iodine."
"Of course, there are two other unexpected gains: plastic particles and some toxic impurities."
Gao Jin took a step forward and looked at the tray in the researcher's hand. Sodium chloride, also known as table salt, was the most extracted.
Next are elements such as magnesium chloride.
"How come so many plastic particles are extracted?" Gao Jin asked curiously. There was a small pile of plastic particles on the tray in the researcher's hand, which was obviously abnormal.
