Chapter 545 Monopolizing the Future (Part 2)
"Hold the stars in your hands", a technological vision that has been debated for decades: controlled nuclear fusion.
The most advanced finished product of this pie is actually in the Stark Industrial Park in New York, where Howard Stark built an arc reactor that can operate continuously. However, it cannot achieve positive energy output and always relies on external energy. Electricity to pressure the reactive elements -
It's purely beautiful, and would only be taken out for a walk on special occasions such as the Stark Industries Expo.
But now that Stark Industries has withdrawn from New York, the legendary marketer and former technical genius Tony Stark has also disappeared for a long time. Even if someone mentions this matter, everyone will only remember that this thing has been around for decades, what? The commercialization of controllable nuclear fusion is a pure pie.
An old idea will become a hot topic again when it is suddenly proposed by a very persuasive contemporary person. In contrast, Dalio used ruthless means to realize "capital without borders" and transferred more than 90% of the world's All the oil is monopolized and pocketed, which makes investors feel happy, but they are also getting used to it.
Dario is a solid professional and a reassuring presence at the helm, but they need something new to counter the new future promised by Lille.
The 800-meter-high high-energy concentrated petroleum refining tower covers an area of more than one square kilometer. Each layer of the multi-stage tower structure has different extraction and refining functions. Using special alloys provided by Stark Industries, it not only It can withstand ultra-high temperatures and pressures and is corrosion- and oxidation-resistant.
There are huge automated robots on the surface of the tower. These robots surround the huge building like building construction machines and move quickly between levels. After all, not all situations require the highest concentration of high-energy concentrated oil. They will be suitable for various scenarios. High-energy concentrated petroleum of different purity is packaged and sent to the logistics park.
But today, Dario wants to demonstrate the highest purity.
The oil is purified by reaction in layers. The central extraction array redesigned by Stark is surrounded by five oil towers. At the top, each has an ultra-long structure pointed towards the center. In the middle is a special circular cone device with current flowing in the cables. Even a faint fluorescence can be seen, and it is difficult to imagine how powerful the current is.
Investors can see that in the multi-stage refining tower, the continuously purified high-energy concentrated petroleum is passed upward after passing through various fractionation technologies. The tower also starts to move upward like an awakening giant beast, constantly emitting energy that makes people's hearts seem to follow. A dull and loud beating sound——
"Gentlemen, this is Roxon's greatest discovery of this century - the compound with the highest energy density in petroleum is octane. The combustion of each mole of octane can release approximately 5470KJ of energy, with a molecular weight of 114.23g/mol and an energy density of 47.9 per kilogram. MJ, that is to say, no matter how refined, the limit of petrochemical fuels may be here, unless we mix in hydrogen
But it has been proven that it is not very useful.
But ten years ago, our engineers accidentally discovered something unreasonable while working. "
The so-called accident was actually a huge explosion at Roxon's refinery. Many employees died suddenly on the spot. However, they later discovered that the explosion yield was inconsistent with the fuel reserves in the plant and clearly exceeded the theoretical limit.
This incident dealt a big blow to Roxon, but fortunately the president at the time was also Roxon's partner.
A few years later, Roxon repeatedly led global oil production cuts to control prices, and even dumped oil directly in the Gulf of Mexico, just to ensure that after the damage, he could continue to study the explosion and ensure the company's normal profits.
They studied the details of that explosion - and finally they concluded that the properties of the oil had changed in the violent explosion.
boom!
The oil tower made a loud noise, and the exaggerated colored pollutant gas was continuously squeezed out by high pressure, and there was even a flame, which shocked the people in the car——
This kind of steam looks like it can blow a living person into pieces.
Dario nodded with satisfaction: “Four years ago, we finally succeeded in stably extracting a truly high-energy concentrated petroleum product.
A super fuel with an energy density exceeding 100MJ per kilogram, but we have never understood its principle, and the performance of the fuel is stuck here——
So I'm thinking that maybe secondary explosions using explosions from purified fuels are the focus of the next phase. "
boom!
There was an explosion at the top of the oil tower, no doubt about it.
The high-pressure air wave generated by the explosion exploded instantly, and the tall tower simultaneously erupted into a ring of flames, and the flames
It looks a little dark.
"We succeeded and observed something that really worked, which I call singularity particles. As the purity of this substance in the fuel increases, the consumption of oil resources increases exponentially, but this is all worth it!
When the purity exceeds 70%, the energy density of high-energy concentrated petroleum can exceed that of hydrogen fuel and reach 130MJ per kilogram, and continued extraction requires large-scale detonation.
When the purity exceeds 90%, its energy density can be twice that of hydrogen, and it triggers some strange effects. Gravity is changed and gravity particles are captured. "
After the flames disappeared, the air seemed to be smeared with a layer of oil, and the colors were colorful. I don't know if it was an illusion.
These distorted colors seem to be painting a picture.
Dario stared blankly at the oil paintings in the sky, as if a wound had been torn open in the air.
".Look, another world——"
It was the first time for other investors to see this scene, and they were extremely shocked by this scene——
Dario poured all the wine at hand into his mouth, drank it mixed with the acidic air in the air, and then slammed the wine glass on the table:
"Forget about that kid's big picture! I have opened the door to a new world!
When the purity exceeds 90%, for every one percent increase in purity, another world becomes closer and closer to us!
Now, let us appreciate the 98% purity of high-energy concentrated petroleum, which consumes a hundred thousand tons of crude oil to obtain one gram of singularity particles——"
boom!
The nozzles extending toward the center of the five giant towers spray out the high-energy concentrated oil of the previous purity level under a pressure of thousands of pascals. The huge platform in the center of the tower array is instantly energized, and these cables seem to have thunder flowing through them!
The strong electric field makes the materials charged in the nozzle at the moment they rush out. When entering the secondary electric field, the impurities and singular particles are purified twice by electromagnetic force. The singular particles are deflected by the Lorentz force. Flying at high speed——
What the naked eye can see is just a little bit of fuel at the end dispersed and burned in the electric field and disappeared - this is what Dario saw, there was an obvious pause.
But what investors see is
The explosion-like sound of the ultra-high-pressure nozzle was instantly suppressed, and the light twisted on the edge of the explosion.
It should have only happened for a moment, but this scene was deeply imprinted in people's hearts, and they no longer thought about bullshit nuclear fusion——
There seemed to be nothing in the middle of the thing, it was pure black, but there seemed to be something there, and they couldn't remember it clearly.
I don’t know if there was something wrong with the time or something wrong with them.
The same goes for Dario: no matter how many times he watched it, all he could feel was shock. He knew there was another world there, but there was no information.
Dalio’s somewhat disappointed voice brought back investors’ consciousness: “The door to the future is right here.
Those cowards who refuse to change, the lazy parasites, the parasites who can’t keep up with the tide, we are not the Holy Mother, everyone.
We need to be quick. Order should be in the hands of civilization. The future should be, or is already, in our hands. All we need is to speed up and open its door.
And yes, the world is a little frantic and we should make it quieter. "
"Bravo" There was no doubt in the eyes of the old man who spoke, "Let's open the skylight and speak openly, I will join.
But clearly, the president is not as obedient as you thought he was, and we all know it. "
"right."
Dario nodded - this is a good trend. They finally stopped hiding it. This is the straightforwardness that partners should have.
There is something wrong with Barnes, he is obviously not resolute enough, and everyone can see that.
"But that old man is not the president yet, and the Congress is organizing the establishment of the Anti-Monopoly Delusion Prevention Act, and it will definitely be passed.
Once this law is passed, we will introduce another bill at the conference - using a presidential decree and signing it immediately. "
"What content?"
"The two terms of the president last for a total of eight years." Dalio said slowly, "It's too short. What big things can be accomplished with this? What we want is continuity, rather than throwing a lot of resources at a group of people every four years. On parasites called 'chosen people'.
Ellis was obedient and let him sit out a few more years."
The answer was about to come out, and investors leaned back slightly to show their surprise——
"We amend the constitution, amend the constitution on the spot, and Ellis will continue to serve as president. He will be the first indefinite president in American history. He can work until he retires! He has done a great job."
"What about Barnes?"
"Atlas will kill him." Dario said coldly. Since everyone is in the same boat, he doesn't like to keep beating around the bush.
“Atlas sent him a funny pickup truck, saying it was better than a tank, but we soon found out what was going on.
Maybe they made false propaganda, maybe they directed and acted on their own, built a garbage truck and waited to kill the president. There are many choices. We can choose a story that the public likes to hear and tell them. "
"But people."
“We have people in Parliament, we have people in the army, and we have a group of good people in society who are ready to enlist as for those disobedient parasites.
We arrested them on the spot in accordance with the Anti-Monopoly Delusion Prevention Act: We mobilized all the troops and implemented comprehensive martial law to detect whoever did or thought something that should not be thought.
You know. "
Investors are feeling chills——
It would still be acceptable to assassinate the president, but what we are talking about now is a bit
One of the bearded guys said: "Do you know what the consequences of this will be? This will trigger a war!"
"Oh, my dear friend." Dario smiled sternly in front of the camera with his big white teeth, "We are already at war, aren't we?
And who would raise a flag in protest in front of an aircraft carrier? If you are dissatisfied, just blow it up. Isn’t that the same for you? "
Aircraft carrier?
Where did the aircraft carrier come from? In your own country?
"Oh, by the way, you may not know that my friends at the United Nations have some new weapons ready to be displayed, and we can hold another exchange meeting like this at that time.
An aircraft carrier flying in the sky, you will like it. "
No one would refuse to monopolize the future on a steel behemoth like that.
Dario couldn't wait any longer.
