Chapter 289 Factory Output
"Uncle! You are so polite, get up quickly." Xiao Hai received the fruit given by the one who gave him.
The couple kneeling in front of him were Song Xiuliang's parents. Song Xiuliang's success in this operation made the couple cry. First of all, I would like to thank Xiao Hai, who is his son's future boss.
In fact, Song Xiuliang's surgery has attracted great attention from the provincial surgical community.
Some surgical experts in the province rushed to Shaxin Island to observe this world-class difficult operation. During the operation, Han Cong's surgery technique was amazing and amazed all the experts who came to observe the operation.
After the operation, they had a heated discussion with Han Cong and exchanged their experiences and experiences of the operation. All the visitors felt that they benefited a lot.
Some people also threw olive branches to Han Cong on the spot and wanted to poach.
In their opinion, the small hospital on Saxin Island is simply a disgrace to Han Cong's talents and should be developed in a larger hospital.
The result was obvious, they all hit the wall and returned in a defeat.
"I heard about the operation. Although it was very successful, the next one or two months will be a time to recuperate. Please let him have a good rest and don't have to think about work for the first time." Xiao Hai said.
Song Xiuliang is a talented and a student from a prestigious university. If he does not have this disease, he will have a good future in a large company.
Not long after graduation, I was diagnosed with this disease. I was helpless. Not only did I not apply for a good company, but I couldn’t even collect the cost of treatment.
After seeing off the couple who were grateful for each other, Xiao Hai took a helicopter to Haitang Town and headed straight to the industrial park.
As soon as they got off the plane, Mayor Tang and others came up with him, looking happy. I don’t know, but I thought they had made how much money they made!
The reason they are so happy is that this factory with unprecedented investment has finally come out.
After Xiao Hai returned from Antarctica, the factory held a simple production ceremony, officially starting the machine and extracting various rare elements from the sea water.
In fact, Mayor Tang and other leaders were also quite worried.
Xiao Hai has such a large investment, and without revenue, it will be difficult for this industrial park to survive for a long time. Therefore, they are very concerned about the output of Xiao Hai's factory.
Nowadays, this factory has only built a small part of the factory and consumes electricity from 10,000 yuan every day, which is surprising.
You should know that this is only one-third of the first phase of the project. If the entire factory is completed and operated, the factory will consume more than 100,000 yuan a day, and the electricity bill of more than 30,000 yuan a year will be numb as long as you calculate this account.
Therefore, output is what everyone cares about, and it is related to the future of Haitang Town Industrial Park.
Fortunately, there was finally good news today. The leaders of the National Nuclear Power Headquarters attached great importance to it and photographed a heavyweight to come to Haitang Town to have a cooperative conversation with Xiao Hai.
It is because this factory extracted more than 100 kilograms of high-concentration uranium in just over a week.
I believe many people have heard of the element uranium. The atomic bomb is made of this element, also known as the nuclear element.
In fact, this element is not very large on the earth, and its content is higher than that of tungsten, mercury, gold, silver and other elements. However, its mining and refining cost is relatively high, so it is expensive.
Internationally, a pound of uranium mine is thirty or forty dollars. At first glance, many people will be surprised: Is it so cheap? You know, this is the raw material for making atomic bombs! Shouldn’t it be very expensive?
See clearly that this is uranium ore, not high-purity uranium.
The uranium content in uranium ore is generally 0.72%, which means that it is not counted as the cost of refining. A pound of high-purity uranium costs more than 4,000 US dollars, and a kilogram costs about 9,000 US dollars. Adding the cost of refining, it is better to count as 10,000 US dollars per kilogram.
More than one hundred kilograms, that is more than one million US dollars, more than seven million yuan.
This is part of the factory's output in more than a week, which makes Mayor Tang and others stare out.
"He is General Jiang of the National Nuclear Power." Mayor Tang quickly introduced.
Mr. Jiang smiled and stretched out his hand at Xiao Hai: "Master Xiao, I have long been famous! Your seawater uranium extraction technology is probably far inferior to Japan!"
He was shocked to understand the factory a little.
The extraction of uranium in seawater is a technology that has existed decades ago. Japan has been developing this technology because there are not many uranium mines in China, so it can only turn its attention to the ocean.
Traditionally, the adsorbent is to put adsorbent into a mesh nylon bag, drag it on a boat and float in seawater, or put the adsorbent into an adsorption column, pump seawater into the adsorbent column, and adsorb uranium through contact between the adsorbent and seawater.
However, after a series of purification processes, low-purity uranium is produced.
This low-purity uranium has abundance of only about three percent, but it has met the requirements of nuclear power. Japan can control the cost to produce this low-abundance uranium to about three hundred dollars.
According to the definition of the International Atomic Energy Agency, uranium-235 with an abundance of 3% is low-enriched uranium for power generation in nuclear power plants, and uranium with a concentration of more than 80% is highly enriched uranium. Among them, the abundance of more than 90% is called weapon-grade highly enriched uranium, which is mainly used to make nuclear weapons.
Although the uranium extracted by Xiao Hai's factory does not reach the weapon-level high-concentration uranium, it is also quite rare.
To be honest, even the country is a little tempted by this technology. If it were decades ago, it might have been taken over to the country. Now, the country has become much more open to private enterprises and will not force it.
So, this time he came here with a national mission to seek cooperation.
Uranium is a resource that is very important to the country, and the country intends to acquire all the uranium produced by this factory.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang! Let's talk inside!"
Mr. Jiang seemed a little anxious: "Can you look at the product first?"
He brought several technicians, and also brought measurement instruments, just to see the quality and abundance of the uranium.
"Haha! Since Mr. Jiang is so anxious, let's look at the product first and then discuss it slowly later. Since this is the resource needed by the country, I will definitely satisfy my own country's first, and the prices are easy to negotiate."
OK! When Mr. Jiang heard this, he felt relieved.
Sure enough, as the data shows, this young man is a very patriotic young man. It can be seen from the incident in Antarctica that it is very likely that the country will open an account and it will be fine if he resells the icebreaker at a low price to the country.
It is also true that the boss above specifically instructed not to be too tough during negotiations, nor to let the young man suffer losses. He should make money, so he should make money.
Anyway, according to their understanding, the money Xiao Hai earned is basically invested in construction and always falls into the pocket of his own country. What's the point?
Unlike some other business wealthy people, who earn tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, they immediately took money to travel abroad.
