When Jiang Chen left the apocalypse, he took three things with him: a quasi-experimental quantum computer with an area of 40 square meters, an industrial 3D printer, and 100 amphibious construction robots.
The quantum computer with an area of 40 square meters looked like a fake mountain in the backyard of the mansion. If it wasn't for the qualitative change in Jiang Chen's storage dimension, the quantum computer might not have been moved there.
Serial number L-0008, this quantum computer was produced in 2150 and had a history of more than 40 years. It was used as a sub-framework of Suhang's virtual reality system to provide basic virtual reality access services for all users in the province. The reason it was called quasi-experimental was because its computing power was still a step away from the experimental quantum computer, but its memory and multi-threading were already at the top of the civilian-class quantum computer.
The computer was stored in a special fallout shelter during the war. Recently, the fallout shelter in Su City was opened. The mining pit, who learned that NAC was interested in high tech products, immediately sent out their subordinates to take control of the fallout shelter.
With NAC's power, the mining pit's boss didn't dare to ask for a higher price. With a price of one million credits, he sold all the scientists and the quantum computer in the fallout shelter to Zhao Chenwu's merchant fleet, and then Zhao Corporation sold them to the NAC military government.
After more than a week of repairs and maintenance, this antique could finally work.
The computing power of the virtual reality MMORPG was terrifying. The quantum computer running at the bottom of the Future Building could barely handle the operation of Godly Land. To build the virtual reality network, Jiang Chen would need an astronomical number of quantum computers. Based on Jiang Chen's information, Fallout Shelter 027 allocated 40% of its research budget to the restoration of quantum computer technology. Apart from the heavy electromagnetic pulse cannon that was currently being researched, this was the research project with the highest priority.
The operation of the quantum computer signified that Future Group's virtual reality business had the hardware to expand into a broader field.
It also signified that Coro Island's power grid was at its limit.
As to the industrial 3D printer and the 100 amphibious construction robots, Jiang Chen had other uses.
…
Ever since Celestial Trade's Guardian-class frigate entered the Sulu Sea and forced Country F to recognize Moro's independence in front of the UA, New Guinea's attitude toward their powerful neighbor immediately became respectful.
Originally, the New Guinea government was wary of Celestial Trade, a semi-military company, increasing its influence within their borders. The local government was also uncooperative with Future Group's investments within their borders. They welcomed Future Group's money, but they didn't welcome Future Group's people …
Now they dared not be unwelcome.
The sovereign state of Australia could not bring them more sense of security. Even the UA made concessions. What kind of trump card did Xin hold?
The New Guinea Prime Minister did not know, so he chose to play it safe.
At least they were not showing any hostility at the moment. Their investments in New Guinea had indeed boosted the economy and brought benefits to the locals. As for the environmental pollution caused by heavy industry … Anyone who opened a factory would also cause environmental pollution.
At the very least, they should not provoke this borderless dictator before they conspire against him. What if they supported the cannibals in the New Guinea jungle to establish a nation?
At noon, Jiang Chen took a private jet to Vanimo port in the northern part of New Guinea and met with the president of BHP Mining Group, Luke Joyce.
"100 million tons of iron ore, 20 million tons of aluminum ore. Sh * t, are you sure you didn't fill in an extra zero? "As soon as they met, before they even greeted each other, Luke grabbed Jiang Chen and asked.
"This is only the first batch. I remember in our agreement, there is a total of 50 million tons." To the suspicion in Luke's eyes, Jiang Chen only smiled and didn't provide any explanation.
Something unpleasant had happened between the two of them some time ago. BHP sent commercial spies to Future Group in an attempt to steal the mining technology, and Jiang Chen's Ghost Agents took out all the rats they hired.
However, as they stood there, the two of them did not mention that matter at the same time.
"Even building an aircraft carrier doesn't require this much steel."
"Aircraft carrier? Who said I was going to build that thing? "Jiang Chen laughed.
"What do you want?" Luke frowned.
"Trade secret," Jiang Chen said mysteriously to Luke's question.
Jiang Chen's mysterious expression tickled Luke's heart. But the easterner didn't want to reveal any information, which made him feel helpless. Based on the agreement made at the Rothschild family dinner, Future Mining would take a step back on the deep sea mining technology, and BHP would supply 50 million tons of ore to Future Group at 80% of the market price.
With a 20% discount on 30 million tons of ore, it was already close to the cost of some of BHP's ore production. Although Luke felt the pinch from not making a lot of money, when he thought about the ore that had been piling up for a long time, he felt relieved.
A total of 30 million tons of ore was transported into Vanimo port by Hua Ocean Group's ships and containers to the steel plant in the northern part of New Guinea. The boilers in the steel plant operated day and night, and the workers worked in three shifts on the production line. Under the instructions of Future Group's senior engineers, the steel and aluminum were processed into the desired shape.
When Jiang Chen returned from Frankberg, the steel plants were already under construction. Until the last diplomatic visit of Xin's vice president, Future Mining owned ten large scale steel plants in the northern province of New Guinea. A total of 27,000 New Guinea workers worked for Future Mining.
It was close to the total population of Xin!
With the steel plant as the core industry, it obviously boosted the economy of Vanimo port.
Future Group offered high overtime pay, and the New Guineans who worked in the steel plants became the first to become rich. With money, people naturally had to spend. Restaurants, supermarkets, bars, malls, and even cinemas, facilities that the citizens of Vanimo didn't even dare to think about, popped up like mushrooms after a spring rain.
The low red brick houses were torn down one by one and replaced with cement houses, apartment buildings, and even mansions built by Celestial Trade. The land was sold to Celestial Trade by the Vanimo port government. The officials who tasted the sweetness wanted to give all the undeveloped land in the city to Celestial Trade.
As for the central government's vigilance against Celestial Trade? More and more pollution?
Who cares!
Before New Guinea's cities were modernized, they were originally ruled by various tribes. Even now, the local government still possessed a high degree of autonomy. The exponential increase in local tax revenue already made the mayor so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He obviously didn't want to do anything that would make Future Group uncomfortable.
A good company could revitalize a city. This sentence was perfectly illustrated by Future Group.
Boxes of industrial products were hauled by trucks to the port and loaded onto ships to Ange Island. Like a blood vessel connecting New Guinea to Xin, it formed a scene that the locals were accustomed to. A portion of the goods were sent to the assembly plant on Ange Island to be assembled into housekeeping robots and MIX1 batteries.
But the majority of the goods were dragged into a semi-enclosed warehouse …
