1557 What Should Be Done (Part 2)

General Chu really didn't expect that he could hear such good news when he came here to find Guo Tai for a meal. Suddenly, the meal became more delicious.

The mutton in Gusu is slightly different from the mutton in the north, but they are really delicious in their own way. The mutton pot is gurgling, and you can continue to add more when there are not many things. It is very enjoyable to eat hot in winter.

While eating and chatting, General Chu also conveyed the personal thanks of the leader of the final assembly. Guo Tailai also happily accepted it.

General Chu didn't go into the Treasure Boat Hotel, Guo Tailai invited him, but he didn't go, he came in the morning, and took the evening train to return to the capital at night, didn't stay overnight, even Guo Tailai wanted to arrange a car to take him off Would not go back.

Guo Tailai could only send General Chu to the train station and watch him get on the train.

Although General Chu came here in his personal capacity this time, with no awards, no military medals, and really only a bottle of 30-year-old Luzhou Laojiao as a condolence gift, Guo Tailai was even more heart-warming than receiving a special merit. The reluctance of the senior sister to leave is also somewhat relieved.

It was time to start working, but before working, Guo Tailai still made a video call to Abu to express his thanks.

"Thank you!" Guo Tailai and Abu's relationship is already very irresistible, so you don't need to be so pretentious and polite, just say something straightforward: "Will you be blamed by Emperor Pu for giving me five years' share at once?"

"Not at all!" Abu was quite confident. Guo Tailai gave him another opportunity to master strategic resources, which greatly increased the importance. He was very grateful to Guo Tailai: "In recent years, the consumption of rhenium metal in Russia is not large. It’s better to pay you this part at once. Although the government has paid you for five years of rhenium metal, if the production increases within these five years, they will definitely not give you more.”

Guo Tailai immediately understood that this is something that is beneficial to both parties. On Guo Tailai’s side, the one-time bag is safe, while on the Russian side, firstly, it saves storage costs, and secondly, if the production increases within the five years, they don’t have to make up for Guo Tailai’s share, which is a simple win-win situation.

In the future until 2015, the output of rhenium metal in the world will not exceed 50 tons. With limited resources, it is not so easy to increase production. Therefore, Guo Tailai believes that there is almost no possibility of increasing production in Russia in the next five years. Not much to lose.

"That's good!" Abu is very good to his friends, Guo Tailai still doesn't want to lose Abu as a friend: "However, thank you very much."

"I'm right to thank you!" Abu responded with a smile in the video: "Because of your analysis, I made billions of dollars in the last financial operation. You don't have to pay for the cost of these tons of rhenium metal." Never mind, I'll treat you! It's an early New Year's gift for you!"

Rhenium metal is very scarce, so the buying and selling price is calculated by kilogram, which is about 5,000 U.S. dollars per kilogram, and 5 million U.S. dollars per ton. Fifteen million dollars for three tons is not a big number for Guo Tailai or Abu. Abu is willing to treat, and Guo Tailai doesn't care.

"Then I won't be polite." Guo Tailai was not polite to Abu at all, and just accepted it with a smile.

"You're welcome!" Abu spread his hands, "My friend!"

Three tons of rhenium metal was obtained in vain. Although the value is not very large, this thing is a strategic resource. Now the world is a scarce material and cannot be bought with money. Guo Tailai is still very happy.

The happiness brought by General Chu and the happiness brought by the gift from Abu made Guo Tailai full of energy.

The engine test is obviously not a short-term activity, and the senior sister will definitely be away for a long time. Guo Tailai happened to be thinking about polishing the silicon crystal ball by himself.

In order to be able to process the circle to the limit, Guo Tailai almost used all the means he could use. Of the 2 trillion nano-robots, a full 1.9 trillion are used as observation and measurement tools, and the remaining 100 billion are processing tools.

Measuring tool robots are distributed in almost every space around the silicon crystal, almost directly turning into a ball to wrap the silicon crystal ball. The more measuring tools, the more accurate the measurement from all directions, and the rounder the ball can be made. Of course, even with such a large number of nano-robots, the measurement can only be done by dynamic rotation. It is impossible to measure every point on the ball, and there will always be small errors. This is not based on Guo Tailai’s will. .

But even so, this ball is already the roundest ball that Guo Tailai can make so far. Measured with existing tools, the error can be small to negligible. It's just that Guo Tailai has higher requirements for himself, so he will make the processing more and more perfect.

With a machining allowance of three nanometers in radius, Guo Tailai began to try symmetrical point grinding. That is to say, at the same time, two points on the symmetrical part of the ball are ground together, and 3 nanometers are ground together, so as to ensure that there is no eccentricity.

All nano-robots have been replaced with synthetic diamonds. The molecular weight of diamonds is surprisingly consistent, and the particles are completely uniform. The silicon crystal balls polished in this way are also the most uniform and smooth. It's just that this grinding work takes longer. In order to pursue the ultimate effect, Guo Tailai can almost be said to grind in an area of ​​one square micron by one square micron, which is so fine that it is outrageous.

Of course, the speed is also extremely slow. According to this polishing speed, Guo Tailai will need at least two months to complete the final polishing work. Even so, it is much shorter than the one and a half years required by the Australian laboratory.

Just half a month before Christmas, Guo Tailai received good news that the old 10,000-ton oil tanker had been rebuilt in the shipyard in Shanghai. The upper and lower two hidden spaces of 2,000 cubic meters each have been remodeled. All the equipment and materials that Guo Tailai needed were prepared, and a crew of reliable retired navy soldiers under the command of an experienced and reliable captain set sail for the port of Fao in Iraq.

The tanker will arrive after the New Year, and Guo Tailai will also rush to Fao Port after completing the intensive care of major customers during the Christmas and New Year. However, before that, Guo Tailai may find an opportunity to go to Jordan to absorb the new nanorobots. Of course, this depends on the opportunity, go if you have the opportunity, and go directly to Faol if you don't have the opportunity.

After working patiently for ten days, it was almost Christmas, Guo Tailai said hello to the country, and boarded the plane to Geneva, Switzerland with his team again. The annual Christmas and New Year holiday warm-up activity for VIP customers of Zhengyifang Beauty Salon is online again.
