Chapter 254 Give me a set

Governor Newsom looks more like a typical redneck, but his attitude towards the high-tech and automation industries is very friendly, even positive.

According to his words: We have large tracts of arable land. If a tractor is paired with some high-tech fertilizers, it can do the work of 100 people and feed 10,000 people.

Why not like these things?

".Farming, farming, and then working in a factory. You may not know how damn boring these jobs are, but fortunately I have better luck.

What about the Green Revolution, Internet technology - I watched these technologies enter the small towns, and they were much more interesting than pure farming.

So before we get started, let me tell you that even though I look like a rugged old redneck, I love machinery and high-tech gadgets.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made a movie. "

After a night of rest and reflection, he is now much more awake and closer to the image he displays in front of the public.

Leal nodded happily.

In the discussion just now, he learned more about the current state of politics.

The first is President Ellis, who is a typical member of the ruling party. His coming to power was supported by traditional resource groups, and he also favored them in terms of policies.

About two and a half years ago, the Republic Oil and Gas supertanker Nok dumped a million gallons of crude oil in Pensalaco.

This matter was suppressed by Ellis, and it ended in an "accident" inexplicably.

As a result, oil prices have skyrocketed around the world, especially within the country——

"That's the funny thing. The skyrocketing price of oil is one of the reasons why he advocates rekindling the war, but he has absolutely no intention of trying the companies that did it."

"Speaking of oil--what about Roxon Oil?"

Newsom was stunned for a moment: "What company?"

Lear shook his head: "Forget it if I don't know."

Roxon Energy has always been the background company in the Marvel world, but what Leal found on the Internet showed that this company was acquired by Republic Oil as early as the last century.

Not only the acquisition, but also the name of Roxon Petroleum was hidden——

So now the largest oil giant in the United States is Republic Oil and Gas Company, but the different name does not mean that Lear can relax its vigilance against it:

The Republic Petroleum Company has grown at an astonishing rate in the past decade or so, growing bigger and bigger without being subject to antitrust investigations.

It is also a major sponsor of the ruling party.

Something is wrong.

In addition, in this world line, Ellis won the election and launched a war after 9/11. Under his adjustment, the ruling party underwent considerable changes.

The most obvious thing is to abandon the rural people, increase support for urban industry, and change the strategy of the small government.

Now they not only emphasize strengthening national defense, but also emphasize the Taisho Prefecture policy, hoping to unify many standards of each state.

“So in summary—” Governor Newsom moved his head, “our president and the ruling party intend to use military action to revive the manufacturing industry, and—

I hate to say it, but the world knows we fucking love oil.

If we can monopolize resources, many problems can be solved, at least for a period of time.

On the contrary, we here have long wanted to get rid of oil in terms of energy, such as solar, hydropower and wind power, but that stuff is so delicious.

To be honest, we were really beaten and confused.

So whatever you want, we will fully support it, because honestly, there is no business left that can support it. "

How sincere, Mr. Governor.

Politicians are politicians. If they want to control political power, they must first have an economic entity as a foundation. If not, they can just rely on the political power they still have.

The two complement each other to a certain extent.

Leal was slightly surprised, surprised by the governor's sincerity.

Newsom continued: "If anyone else comes here, they will definitely have to fight with you for a long time, so let's be honest."

"Okay." Lear replied decisively, "First of all, the chip. I will let Dr. Toombs take charge of this in San Francisco. We need it."

"I know that on behalf of the California government, I can give you grants, tax exemptions, and large tracts of land. If you are willing to go to campus, I can also help you connect."

Newsom said very confidently: "Don't worry, I will give you the greatest support within the limits of my power."

"It would be great."

Lille does have such plans.

Whether it is brain-computer interface surgery, blood production, or the production of technical equipment used in this process, more doctors, engineers, and workers are needed.

From the University of California to some community colleges and junior colleges, they are all sources of labor force.

"But how are you going to use these chips? With all due respect, it seems like only you will use them."

"It is true that only we can use it at the moment, but blood is not." Leal explained, "The production scale of artificial plasma is proportional to the demand for chips, and we will use a lot of automation technology.

The production process requires many workers and engineers, as well as production facilities and equipment."

"Can you give me a rough number?"

"Okay." Lille opened his laptop, "A standard plasma production line can produce 8,000 units of whole blood a year. A factory can arrange 8 production lines, taking into account multiple costs and factors that affect production.

Each factory requires about 240 workers, managers and engineers of various types.

In New York, we estimate that we can support 3-5 such factories to implement production. "

Based on the current plasma cost of Yale University of 200 US dollars, the revenue of a factory is 12.8 million US dollars, and New York alone can have about 50 million US dollars in revenue a year.

The key is that this is entirely based on cost, and the real selling price must be more than that.

Whole blood products can also be refined into various types of plasma, platelets, and red blood cell drugs

In short, the potential is huge, and it is not a problem to expand the flow of tens of billions of funds every year.

The key is that the tens of billions of capital flows from these factories can also stimulate other industries. Unlike real estate and finance, which is causing problems now, medical needs will always exist.

This is a long-term and stable industrial chain.

Plasma is the big one, and there are also a large number of various medicines that are about to be released: immunosuppressants based on lizard biliverdin, various stimulants and cardiotonics.

“This is just the beginning.” Leal pointed to the interface behind Newsom, “Here, based on this, we can change the lifestyles of tens of thousands of disabled people and elderly people.

It is even possible to develop more auxiliary production exoskeletons suitable for civil engineering to increase engineering speed with higher labor efficiency. "

Come full circle, back to those chips.

The market demand is completely sufficient, and the combined impact of the upstream and downstream of this industrial chain on society is definitely heavyweight.

In fact, the governor still doesn’t think far enough: because brain-computer interface will completely change the logic of human-computer interaction, what he says now is just the tip of the iceberg.

But that's enough, the pie is full of flavor.

This cake is so delicious that it makes people drool just by looking at it.

The governor spoke slowly: "It was so good that I thought I was dreaming.

But speaking of which, you know, we have a huge problem right now. The Department of Defense purchased a batch of secret weapons from Cybertech.

The release of this secret weapon may change the attitude of some swing members in Congress towards the AMF-13 bill, but we don’t even know what it is now.

If the bill is passed, many resources must be allocated to the military industry, especially the batch of banknotes that will be printed immediately. "

If AMF-13 is passed, more supportive policies will be gone in the short term.

And if this thing really plays a huge role on the battlefield.

Victory will greatly increase the inertia of social development, and public opinion will be easily changed in this case.

Leal closed the notebook: "But we can only focus on the matter at hand now."

".yes."

The governor looked out the window. After a brief silence, he suddenly said: "Give me a try on your new technology. Give me a set, and I will stand up for you."

"That's very dangerous. There will be a first time for that kind of thing, and there will be a second time."

"I know." The governor smiled, "But believe me, if I appeared on the podium like the image in the movie, I would definitely be awesome."

The support rate will also explode.

Since this governor is so brave.

Of course I'll accompany you there.
