Homo sapiens.

In the afternoon, 02:30.

Holographic conference room.

Li Qingye summoned the management of the company.

Regarding the situation of this new material, the management is also full of entanglements.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Mining was the first to speak: "At present, we can mine 2.4-2.8 tons of gold every month, and we can also extract 86-95 tons of gold from seawater every month."

Looking at the data, Liu Zhifan asked Jiang Mingxuan, the person in charge of the science department, "How much gold do you need for a three-layer composite 100-megawatt thermoelectric generator?"

"..." Jiang Mingxuan did not answer, but directly connected to the researchers of the 8092 laboratory and the researcher of the Electric Power Research Institute.

After more than ten minutes, a rough figure was finally obtained: "About 240-250 kilograms of gold will be used."

"Too much!" Liu Zhifan felt very headache.

According to this amount of use, the monthly production of nearly 400 tons of gold by Homo sapiens is enough to manufacture 100 sets of [-]-megawatt thermoelectric generators.

The same is true of the coast of the Luzon Islands.

In addition, the automobile heat engine can be replaced with a thermoelectric generator, and the current micro gas turbine power generation system can be eliminated by cooperating with the storage battery.

The gold dollar must not be untied from gold at this stage, otherwise it will affect the layout and promotion of many plans.

Li Qingye left Chen Jianxiong alone.

Other executives are also leaning a bit more conservatively.

In particular, Tianzhu, which has a huge private gold reserve, has become a key target of Homo sapiens.

Gold is endowed with "energy" properties.

"Yes, Chairman."

After more than three hours of intense discussions, the final conclusion was to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

Thermoelectric conversion materials can also be applied to refrigeration.

If it's a few hundred tons secretly transferred, then it's not a big problem.

According to estimates, there are not a few gold held by Homo sapiens at present, with a scale of about 6000 to 7000 tons.

But looking at the situation now, it is definitely not hundreds of tons, but most of the gold must be invested in new materials.

Of course, if Homo sapiens swallowed Tianzhu and then completely scraped it, tens of thousands of tons of gold should be squeezed out.

But everyone was not too complacent, because this production capacity was far from enough.

At this moment, the person in charge of the space department also hurriedly spoke for his department:
"Actually, there are many gold-rich asteroids in the asteroid belt. If such asteroids with extremely high gold content can be captured, our gold production will greatly increase in the future."

In the past, the value of gold was mainly due to its scarcity and stability, and its industrial application was not too large, so the price seemed tepid.

"Chairman, don't worry, I will lead the Field Service Department to go all out." Chen Jianxiong replied seriously.

Hearing this, the person in charge of the space department looked a little helpless.

At the same time, all new humans are called to sell the gold ornaments in their homes to the company.

His subtext is to play fast money to support the space department.

We must know that the gold that has been mined in the world is about 19 tons, of which 47% is used in jewelry, and the rest is investment, official reserves, and industrial raw materials.

The use of gold temperature difference materials can increase the thermal efficiency to the extreme, which is actually an energy metal in disguise.

And the gold content in seawater is not unlimited.

"Jianxiong, your field service department should step up efforts to obtain more gold for the company, especially in Asia, where they have huge private reserves of gold resources."

Liu Zhifan hesitated for a while, but still made an objection: "Chairman, I think the application of new materials can be promoted step by step. With the company's current gold production capacity, it can still be satisfied at the initial stage."

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."

The value of gold, with the emergence of new materials, has become increasingly hot.

It's different now.

Li Qingye was also aware of this situation, and he instructed the Ministry of Mines: "Increase gold seaweed plantations in the Malay Archipelago, the Western Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and Ceylon, and increase the gold production capacity to 200 tons per month."

Li Qingye also agrees with Liu Zhifan's point of view: "Space mining will not start until at least 2025. To mine resources in the asteroid belt, it may take until 2035. The channel of space mining will not be considered in a short period of time."

That's right, it's energy characteristics.

After listening to it for a long time, Garfield suggested: "Perhaps we can find a way from the bottom of the sea and deep underground."

In particular, the manufacturing process of this material is a top priority.

Although expanding the planting scale of golden algae can indeed rapidly increase gold production capacity in a short period of time.

And the material isn't just for generators.

At the same time, Li Qingye also ordered to block relevant information to prevent this material from being discovered by the outside world.

At this time, the installed capacity of Homo sapiens' thermal power generation devices was 362 million megawatts. If all these thermal power generation devices were to be replaced with thermoelectric power generation devices, 8900 tons of gold would be consumed.

Space mining is indeed immature at this stage, and the asteroid belt is too far away.

If this technology is obtained by the great powers, their productivity will be greatly improved, and they will also compete with Homo sapiens for limited gold resources.

The changes brought about by new materials tempted everyone present.

According to the sampling survey conducted by the Ministry of Mines, the gold content in seawater in the Hongshawadi coastal area where golden seaweed has been planted for a long time has dropped by about 40-50%.

The corner of Liu Zhifan's mouth twitched slightly: "The asteroid belt is too far away, so it's not feasible for now."

It can even be considered to install nuclear reactors to generate electricity in space stations and spacecraft.

These applications will push Homo sapiens a step further.

Even if it is used in batches, with the current inventory, it still cannot last for too long.

In addition, the Ministry of Field Service came forward to ask compradors in Tianzhu and Africa to help buy gold in other regions.

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.

Spaceships, artificial satellites, and space stations in outer space all need temperature-difference materials. After using this temperature-difference material, the heat dissipation problem that has plagued spacecraft will be solved.

after the meeting.

Homo sapiens reserves 2743 tons of gold.

Strive to complete the upgrading and transformation of the power generation industry within 10 years.

The person in charge of the mining department nodded: "This is a way of thinking. At present, the underground mines and seabed mines we have discovered have good gold reserves, about 70 to 90 tons, but mining is more troublesome."

If this part of the gold can be collected, then the upgrade of the power generation system can be completed with Homo sapiens' own gold alone.

Increase the scale of gold seaweed planting, fully start the mining of deep underground gold mines and seabed gold mines, increase the gold production capacity to 300 tons this year, and increase it to 500 tons next year.

It's just that it's not suitable to annex Tianzhu at this stage. Many layouts of the Ministry of Field Service have not been completed, and forceful swallowing may cause the situation to get out of control.

For this problem, everyone has one head and two big ones.

"There is one more thing I want to tell you..."

After Chen Jianxiong finished listening, his eyes changed slightly, but he still nodded without hesitation: "I will arrange it as soon as possible."

"Go!"

Looking at Chen Jianxiong who disappeared into the holographic conference room, his eyes were calm and full of complex emotions, and then he clicked to log out.
