Although Chen Yi hasn't said what he wants to use the helium for, everyone has given him a clear path.
"You go to Algeria and Qatar to conduct a large-scale sociological experiment, or you go to the United States to do some py transactions. If that doesn't work, can't you just use flash steam to extract helium at home?"
Helium resources are very unevenly distributed around the world. The United States is the country with the richest helium resources in the world. Although it has been exploited on a large scale for more than 60 years, its helium reserves still account for more than 40% of the world's total reserves.
According to a 2009 survey report by the Mitong Geological Survey: the United States, Algeria, Qatar and Russia own 89% of the world's helium resources.
Blue Star's top helium reserves: The United States' helium resources are estimated to be about 20 billion cubic meters, Qatar 10 billion cubic meters, Algeria 8.2 billion cubic meters, Russia 6.8 billion cubic meters, Maple Leaf Country 2 billion cubic meters, China 11 100 million cubic meters, Bolan 300 million cubic meters.
China's reserves seem to be very pitiful, so in order to avoid being cut off in the future, it has to rely on its own efforts. Recently, the technology of flash gas helium extraction has been successful.
Natural gas will change from gas to liquid and become liquefied natural gas at minus 162 degrees. Generally, natural gas will be stored or transported in tanks at this temperature, but this is an ideal state.
The reality is that no matter how good the insulation measures are, external heat will inevitably be transferred in, or heat will be generated due to friction and other reasons, so the natural gas in the tank will generate flash steam, which will increase the pressure inside the tank. Explosion hazard may occur.
The treatment methods are that when the pressure reaches a certain value, you will choose to let it go or burn it directly, which not only wastes resources but also pollutes the air.
This kind of waste is intolerable to the Qinglong study group who have been trained by Chen Yi to develop obsessive-compulsive disorder.
So what they are doing now is to continue to utilize the natural gas that should be wasted, and then further decompose and store the various components of the natural gas that will be wasted. Helium is also one of the components.
Although not much helium can be produced here, there are still many benefits. At least it relieves some pressure for self-use. After all, helium is everywhere in the air of Blue Star, but it is too difficult to extract. Flash gas helium extraction technology is for the future. It laid the foundation for being able to extract large amounts of helium from the air.
At least the helium extracted from waste natural gas is enough for Chen Yi now, but if you don't think about the future, you will have to worry about the near future, and Chen Yi is unhappy living his life like this.
"There is also a Chang'e moon landing plan?"
As soon as this question came out, everyone looked at him in surprise.
"You can just say you want to build a base on the moon. Why are you beating around the bush?"
"Okay, I do have this idea, and we just happened to do it together this time."
. . .
On October 12, CCTV News Broadcast in the Mainland finally broke a big news.
"The Chang'e-1 unmanned probe will be launched from the Ascension Space Launch Center on Xinneiya Island on November 5 this year.
This time, "Chang'e 1" is responsible for placing Yue Rabbit 1 on the lunar surface for relevant exploration.
This lunar exploration and landing project is expected to provide scientists with information on understanding the moon's geology and early history, which will be of great help to our further understanding of the moon. "
Although there are only a few simple sentences, the melon-eating people in the mainland just lament that the country is getting stronger and stronger, but other Blue Star players, especially Yingjiang, cannot be so careless.
The moon landing is not just a symbolic meaning. Not to mention the collection of various outer space navigation data of the aircraft, it is also an early stage of technological accumulation for the construction of bases on outer planets.
Let alone other planets, even if you want to establish an environment suitable for human survival on the moon, you must conduct a detailed analysis of a series of data such as soil, air, and gravity on the moon.
Speaking of this, I have to lament that Yingjiang and Mao Xiong were also forced into a desperate situation by various competitive pressures during the Cold War, and they directly sent people to the moon without doing anything.
Blue Star's Cold War is simply not the pace of development that should occur in peacetime. According to the normal pace of peacetime, a probe should be launched first to dig out some soil and air from the moon and sent back to Blue Star, and then conduct detailed analysis and testing. Only after this will the design and planning of the lunar base begin.
If you want to establish a base on an alien planet, you must first know what resources are available on this planet. Maybe the common resources on Blue Star are not available, and the scarce resources on Blue Star are abundant on the other side.
For example, fossil resources such as coal and oil have been verified in many aspects and are definitely not available on the moon. If you want to establish a base on the moon, you must plan based on the existing energy sources on the moon.
So of course Yingjiang must pay close attention to the Chang'e moon landing project.
Then Yingjiang watched with horror as Rabbit transported a long and thin Long March 5 carrier rocket and a bloated aircraft to Xinnea Island.
Before Benjamin could swallow this melon, he suddenly received another strange phone call.
"Mr. President, do you remember me?"
After hearing this electronic sound, Benjamin remembered when he had heard this sound before. It was the same voice that persuaded him to parachute from Air Force One a year ago during the Malvern incident.
Although the other party changed his direction and saved his life, Benjamin was only wary in his heart.
"What do you want from me?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that someone in the mainland needs a lot of helium, so I'm here to trouble you."
Benjamin was immediately furious and asked directly: "Who are you?"
"You can call me the banker killer. I'm sure you are familiar with it."
Benjamin's mood is very complicated now. Not only is he no longer a stranger to the dealer, but he doesn't care about the banker's killer!
The whole of Southeast Asia is now like this because of banker killers.
"Although you have saved my life, you know this is impossible!"
"Don't refuse so easily. Aren't you interested in the base vehicle?"
Benjamin suddenly became energetic, and he almost went crazy thinking about the base vehicle.
Although the United States has invested so much money in infrastructure renovation, there are too few people who can work in the country. Although the higher education in the United States is very good, the basic education is really too low.
This is also caused by the national conditions of the United States. Because most of the high-level talents in the United States immigrated from other Blue Star players, the United States has never paid much attention to basic education.
However, now that the critical moment has come, Benjamin feels that there are only a few people when they are used!
Although the U.S. economy has improved a bit, it is still far behind his expectations.
It's already October, and his public support rate is not low, but it's not high either. At this time, Logan Charles has finally publicly announced that he will participate in the general election, and it is obvious that some people in Congress are supporting him. , and even many media are supporting Logan.
Benjamin would be really stupid if he didn't react to this situation. There is indeed a huge force behind Logan supporting him.
"So, are you willing to sell me the base vehicle?"
“I want all the data on the moon from the United States, as well as an annual quota of 15,000 tons of helium imports, and no price increase is allowed.
Mr. President, I wish you good luck in the election. "
After Benjamin heard this exchange, after a long battle between heaven and man, Youyou said: "I agree."
