Chapter 225: New Way to Make a Favor

Abdullah finally waited for the issue of rejuvenation that he was most concerned about. He felt nervous and asked, "I wonder how much is the cost of this rejuvenation surgery?"

Liu Hui smiled and stretched out a finger.

Abdullah said in speculation: "One million?" But he himself didn't believe the amount.

Liu Hui began to shake his head.

Abdullah tentatively added: "Ten million?"

Liu Hui continued to shake his head and said, "It's still a long way to go!"

Abdullah was shocked and asked, "Is it one hundred billion?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Not that high!"

Abdullah asked, "What is that?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "One hundred million US dollars."

Abdula sighed with a sigh and said with a smile: "It seems that it's not very expensive!"

Liu Hui continued: "I mean that 100 million US dollars can be one year younger."

Abdullah said in surprise: "What? One hundred million dollars is one year younger?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Yes, you heard it right. Just $100 million can make people rejuvenate for a year. Let me give you a clear idea. The old Superman spent $6.3 billion on me and was 63 years younger, while the Gambler King spent $6 billion on me and was 60 years younger. You should know that my rejuvenation surgery can only be performed once in my life, so if I don't seize the first chance, then there will be no second chance in the future."

In fact, the treatment fees for the Old Superman and Mr. He were all given 20% off by Liu Hui, but in fact they didn't spend that much money. However, it was impossible for Abdullah to find out the specific amount, so Liu Hui was not afraid that Abdullah would expose him. Moreover, this is the seller's market, and the buyer cannot bargain.

When Abdullah heard that everyone had only one chance to rejuvenate surgery in his life, he immediately started to calculate. One million dollars younger than others seems very expensive, but it is acceptable to him. In the end, he still figured out that no matter how much money it is, once the person is gone, it is not all of them. In comparison, his life is the most important. Moreover, this huge amount of treatment cannot hurt him. So he said: "Mr. Liu Hui, is there any danger in this surgery?"

Liu Hui shook his head and said, "Our surgery is 100% safe, and it takes a very short time. It can be completed in just twelve hours."

Abdullah said: "Since that's the case, I want to be seventy years younger at one time. Is this OK?"

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you have enough money, you can do it even if you want to be young as a baby. But in that case, there will be no fun in life for at least a decade."

When Abdullah heard Liu Hui say this, she immediately laughed out loud, and the eyes of both men flashed through the eyes of the men that only men understood.

Liu Hui ended his conversation with Abdullah, and Abdullah received a satisfactory reply. Naturally, he returned to the place where he rested and mobilized the treatment funds and the personnel who negotiated with the Starry Sky Group. Liu Hui came to the Starry Sky Science Institute to find Chen Changsheng.

"Boss, have you been to receive that king? Why did you come to me?" Chen Changsheng joked.

"Haha, that king has left. I came to you to confirm something." Liu Hui said with a smile.

"Boss, what do you want to know?" Chen Changsheng asked curiously.

"You said last time that our seawater desalination technology has matured and can be put into practical use, right?" Liu Hui asked.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Boss, it's right. I've talked about this. We have long developed the seawater desalination technology. Because our "Starry City" will mainly be active on the sea in the future, this future sea city requires a lot of fresh water, so the first project we researched at the Academy of Sciences is this seawater desalination technology."

Liu Hui asked: "Is this seawater desalination technology difficult?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Boss, this seawater desalination technology is actually very simple. The technology we are using now is the simplest multi-stage flash evaporation method. This technology is a technology that uses a large amount of energy to evaporate heated seawater in multiple flash evaporate chambers with gradually lower pressure, and condenses the steam to obtain fresh water. We have now made this large seawater desalination equipment."

Liu Hui was overjoyed and asked, "Why did I hear those people say that seawater desalination technology is very difficult? You should have encountered difficulties when you are studying this technology, right?"

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Boss, in fact, this seawater desalination technology is to put it bluntly, which makes the seawater evaporate and then turns it into pure water through the consumption of a large amount of energy. The biggest problem here is how to improve the ability of a single machine to create water, reduce unit power consumption, improve heat transfer efficiency, etc. However, after the boss provides those magical formations and advanced energy stones, these problems are no longer difficult."

Liu Hui asked: "What you mean is that because of the effect of the formation, seawater desalination equipment can improve water production capacity and heat transfer efficiency. With the use of advanced energy stones, do you not care about the consumption of unit electricity?"

Chen Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right. Not to mention the many advanced energy stones you provide us, the electricity contained in them is an astronomical number. Just the fourteen god-level energy stones in our laboratory can provide 1.4 billion kWh of electricity every day. This electricity is used to desalinate seawater, so I don't know how much seawater will be desalinated. So, in terms of energy, we don't lack it at all, so we don't care about the consumption of energy."

Liu Hui thought for a while and asked, "If calculated based on the production cost, what is our production cost for every cubic meter of fresh water produced?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "This is really hard to calculate. Our seawater desalination equipment is extremely strong and durable, and can be used for at least a hundred years, so our equipment depreciation fee is very low. The only cost to consider is the consumption of electricity and the wage cost of personnel. So if you calculate this way, the cost per cubic meter of fresh water should not exceed RMB 0.3 yuan! In fact, when we are desalinating this seawater, we can also get a large amount of minerals and precious metals from the seawater. So if we calculate this way, our seawater desalination will not only not have any cost, but will be very profitable."

Liu Hui said: "Are you saying that while you are desalinating seawater, you can also separate the minerals and precious metals from the seawater?"

Chen Changsheng said: "Yes, we have distinguished these minerals from precious metals. Boss, why do you ask that?"

Liu Hui was overjoyed and smiled and said, "This is really great. I have forgotten the desalination of the sea water before. Fortunately, the arrival of the old Saudi king reminded me. I originally wanted to do something good, improve the increasingly desolate environment of the earth, and reduce the possibility of those extreme environmental organizations coming to cause trouble for us, but I didn't expect that I would find such a way to make money here."

Chen Changsheng touched his head in confusion and said, "When we studied this seawater desalination technology before, we only considered it as a topic. We just thought that we should do it perfectly, so we spent a little more energy to separate the minerals and precious metals in these seawater, but we never thought that the boss would pay so much attention to them."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Director Chen, I want to thank you this time! Although I am not good at technology, I also know that seawater contains a lot of minerals and precious metals. Although these minerals and precious metals are very low in seawater, they cannot withstand the huge volume of seawater. How many minerals and precious metals are contained in the entire sea? Think about it again, if we intervene in the seawater desalination market now, we can not only make money in seawater desalination, but also win a good reputation. After all, we provide edible fresh water for people who are short of water in the world. Those so-called environmental protection organizations should not come to demonstrate, right? And the most important point is that we can also extract a large amount of precious metals and minerals from seawater, and these things are the big part of our money. Even if these things are not for sale, we can also use them in the construction of our own Star City!"

Chen Changsheng said with emotion: "Why didn't I expect this? For every 4 million tons of seawater extracted, 100,000 tons of sodium chloride, 30,000 Glauber's salt, 5,000 tons of magnesium, 5,000 tons of gypsum, 2,400 tons of potassium carbonate, 250 tons of bromine, 100 tons of boric acid, 6,000 tons of heavy water, 700 kilograms of lithium, 200 kilograms of iodine, and 10 kilograms of uranium can be produced from it. The value of these items and metals is really huge. The boss is worthy of being the boss, and it really makes us look far."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "Director Chen, it's not good for you to be so humble. You should know that I'm not that kind of stupid boss, so don't hide your weakness in front of me."

Chen Changsheng smiled awkwardly, but he didn't say anything.

Liu Hui actually didn't say anything in his mind, that is, if he enters the seawater desalination market with strong pressure. If he squeezes out all other seawater desalination factories with low prices, he will be able to completely control the market and almost control the lifeblood of these extremely water-scarce countries. At that time, whoever makes him unhappy will cut off his water and see who dares to fight him. However, although this prospect looks beautiful, there are also great risks in the middle, and it depends on whether Liu Hui can avoid these risks.

Liu Hui then continued to ask: "What does our seawater desalination equipment look like? Is it big?"

Chen Changsheng opened the computer in front of him, called out a picture, and said, "Boss, look, this is our seawater desalination equipment."

Liu Hui stretched his head and looked over, but found that the computer screen was just a large freighter. He said in surprise: "Director Chen, have you adjusted the wrong picture? Why did I see a large freighter!"

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "The boss is not wrong. The interior of this large freighter has been transformed by us, so it is now a sea desalination factory."

Liu Hui asked silly: "But this looks like a large cargo ship. From the appearance, people simply don't expect it to be a seawater desalination factory."

Chen Changsheng said: "Because we considered that our "Starry City" would float on the sea in the future, we modified this seawater desalination equipment on this large freighter, not to deliberately be innovative. In the future, the seawater desalination plant of the Starry City will be built in the city and will not be built on the freighter."

Liu Hui looked at the large freighter and suddenly laughed: "No, very good! I suddenly thought that if our seawater desalination factory was like this, it would be very good."

"Boss, what are you talking about?" Chen Changsheng asked in confusion, wondering why Liu Hui praised this seawater desalination factory converted from a freighter.

Liu Hui smiled and said, "I'm saying that the idea of ​​converting this cargo ship into a seawater desalination factory is very good, because we don't have to build a seawater desalination factory on land, which will reduce the possibility of our secret being leaked. Moreover, this sea-Shanghai water desalination factory has another feature, that is, it can move freely. Once we supply water in this place, we can also supply water in other places. It is really convenient. Even if we have a quarrel with those partners in the future, we just need to drive the ship away, and we will not leave any benefits to the other party."

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Actually, all of these are your credit for your boss. Because you provided us with advanced energy stones. Only after we have this high-level energy source that is basically negligible can we save a lot of energy space on the cargo ship. After saving so much space, we can install a seawater desalination factory on a large cargo ship."

Liu Hui asked: "How many tons of fresh water can this seawater desalination ship provide per day?"

Chen Changsheng said: "The cargo ship itself has a load capacity of 100,000 tons, so the seawater desalination equipment we installed on it is a medium-sized equipment. If it works at full capacity, it can provide 5 million tons of fresh water every day."

"How many?" Liu Hui was stunned, afraid that he would hear it wrong, so he asked quickly.

"Boss, if our seawater desalination ship drives at full speed, it can desalinate five million tons of fresh water in a day." Chen Changsheng said again.

Liu Hui was shocked. Now all seawater desalination factories in the world can only desalinate 40 million tons of seawater every day. The seawater desalination factory modified from this 100,000-ton cargo ship can desalinate 5 million tons of fresh water every day. This ship alone is already one-eighth of the production capacity of all seawater desalination factories in the world. This number is really exaggerated, and Liu Hui cannot be surprised.

Chen Changsheng seemed not surprising at all. He explained: "Boss, there is nothing to be curious about. The most important thing about desalination in seawater is energy. Previously, desalination was a high-energy-consuming industry and the cost was somewhat uncalculable, so the daily output of those desalination factories was not very high. If the energy consumption was not considered, all the desalination factories in the world were running at full capacity to desalinate the seawater, and the daily output would definitely exceed hundreds of millions of tons. The reason why our desalination ship has such a powerful desalination capability is because of the advanced energy stone provided by the boss. If there was no huge energy in this advanced energy stone, we would not dare to desalinate the seawater in such a large amount. Because in that case, the more seawater we desalinate, the more we will lose."

After hearing Chen Changsheng's explanation, Liu Hui realized his feelings. After all, the seawater desalination was still the light of his own cheap high-end energy stone! If there were no such cheap high-end energy stone, he would not be able to play with this high-energy desalination project.

However, Liu Hui was immediately happy. He now had countless magical crystal cores in his hand, and there was no place to pile them up. Alexander in the magic plane was still providing him with this magical crystal core, which made him able to temporarily store these magical crystal cores in Alexander's super warehouse. These magical crystal cores cannot be sold directly, so when Liu Hui was worried about how to deal with this batch of unrealized wealth, he happened to have this seawater desalination project, which could instantly convert the electricity contained in the magical crystal cores into real benefits. As long as the confidentiality work is done well, he can use these magical crystal cores openly, thereby changing these magical crystal cores to various resources he needs.

"Director Chen, how much electricity is needed to desalinate a ton of seawater and separate out the minerals and precious metals inside it?" Liu Hui asked.

"It can be about one kilowatt-hour of electricity to desalinate a ton of fresh water and separate out the minerals and precious metals inside it. Of course, this is how we can achieve this standard by using other latest technologies such as our formations. Other seawater desalination plants cannot meet such a high conversion standard. They need more than four kilowatt-hour of electricity to desalinate a ton of fresh water, and they cannot separate out the minerals and precious metals inside. Or is their seawater desalination equipment depreciation speed very fast, and it will have to be replaced every 15 years. Unlike our equipment that can be used for a hundred years, their seawater desalination cost is much higher than ours." Chen Changsheng replied.

Liu Hui calculated in his mind that if calculated according to the standard mentioned by Chen Changsheng, the seawater desalination factory on the 100,000-ton cargo ship would consume 5 million kilowatt-hours a day, and would consume 1.825 billion kilowatt-hours a year. In a conversion, it would be 1,825 Level 4 Warcraft Crystal Cores.

When Liu Hui calculated that such a huge amount of magic beast crystal nucleus was consumed, he was shocked. The seawater desalination was worthy of being a high-energy-consuming industry. However, its output was also enough to make people excited. The average desalination per day was 5 million tons, so the average desalination per second was 58 cubic meters, which was equivalent to a small river with abundant water. In this year, 1.8 billion tons of fresh water can be desalinated, which is a great economic benefit. This is not the precious metals and various minerals obtained during the desalination of seawater. The daily output of those things alone is close to 200,000 tons, not to mention their inherent value.
