Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 586 Chemical Reagents
He immediately issued the order on Sunday, and soon a huge platform appeared before them, with temporary houses slowly beginning to gather there.

"Time is of the essence. We must act quickly to take control remotely and ensure the basic living needs of these people are met," Lin Chen said.

However, at present they can only build houses, and some facilities inside the houses still need to be provided by the military.

Even so, the current efficiency is already quite high.

In fact, the rescue operation has been underway for less than a day, and the speed has already far exceeded the level of more than a decade ago.

Elizabeth was shocked when she saw all this through the video. She never expected that Lin Chen could make the aircraft play such a significant role this time.

“This country has a limitless future. With such strong organizational capabilities, I don’t think there are any difficulties that cannot be overcome,” Elizabeth exclaimed.

Although the situation seems optimistic, things are still constantly changing, which shows that everyone is well prepared and that only through unremitting efforts can we meet various challenges.

“I think we shouldn’t just sit idly by. Why don’t we just form a rescue team and go there to participate in humanitarian aid? At least we can do our part.”

However, the locals didn't think much of it at the time. Originally, Elizabeth's friends came to this place intending to negotiate, but things developed in a far more complicated way than they had imagined.

"We have to follow the leader's instructions on this matter. We can't make decisions on our own. If we are found to have acted on our own, the consequences will be serious." One member of the delegation looked worried. After all, the trouble this matter was causing was getting bigger and bigger, and no one dared to take it lightly.

Elizabeth was at a loss; in fact, she saw this as a good opportunity to please all parties.

Fortunately, the situation on site is gradually improving. The hospital has been built, and various systems have been put into use one after another, so people can basically live a normal life here again.

Moreover, various rescue equipment arrived one after another, playing a huge role, especially in those ruins.

Lin Chen is racing against time, leading everyone to do their utmost to advance the final rescue work.

He firmly believed that where there's a will, there's a way.

Now, the most difficult time has finally passed. Roads have been cleared, rescue teams are arriving one after another, and conditions here are vastly different from before.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Lin Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Chen has been extremely busy lately, with a mountain of things piling up, but things are finally starting to look promising.

"Do you know what kind of person you are now?" At this moment, the captain walked over.

"Let me tell you, I haven't been paying attention to the online media reports about you. They're everywhere, completely different. You were originally a scientist, yet you built a hospital with so many advanced instruments. That's unimaginable at any time."

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised to hear this. Putting aside the equipment, the key point was that these instruments were all things he had painstakingly built up, and to him, they were nothing rare.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated. I just did what an ordinary person should do. However, I discovered some problems in the area this time, and if they are not resolved, they will definitely cause more trouble in the future."

Lin Chen knew that many locals were still unaware of the seriousness of the situation even now.

"Anyway, you're practically a national hero now, so whether you like it or not, you don't have a choice."

"A national hero?" Lin Chen himself was somewhat surprised.

Indeed, his story has spread online. Many netizens are completely unfamiliar with this suddenly appearing figure. In their minds, apart from those two renowned scientists and military-industrial entrepreneurs, they had no idea there was such a newcomer.

Actually, it's not accurate to call him a newcomer. His previous act of donating the aircraft carrier factory directly to the country had already shocked people.

But this matter made Elizabeth very upset.

"We're both scientists, so why is he a national hero while I have to slink here and negotiate with them?"

Because she didn't get approval from her superiors, Elizabeth could only wait there, and the results were not satisfactory.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's go back first. I still have a lot of things to deal with."

Lin Chen didn't want to put too much pressure on himself; at this stage, there was basically nothing to worry about. Now, apart from leading the robot team to continue digging in the ruins on Sundays, he didn't need to worry too much.

Back in the lab, Lin Chen began to ponder the matter.

This rescue operation in the ruins put him under immense pressure. Perhaps if he could gradually clear away the debris, he could find a better solution.

Moreover, he thought that if these things could be made to disappear completely to some extent, or to be presented in a new form, perhaps those trapped people wouldn't have to be buried under the rubble for so long.

However, this idea was rather ahead of its time, and he wasn't sure how to implement it. If something went wrong, it would be a real problem.

"Is Master thinking of a new idea?" Sunday noticed Lin Chen's unusual behavior.

“Indeed, I’m thinking about a big problem, but I’m not sure if it will work out. I’ll just think about it and see, with my current abilities…” Lin Chen said.

On Sunday, he was a little worried, because once Lin Chen had a new idea, he would keep researching it endlessly.

The trouble this matter has caused must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Don't rush, let's study it slowly."

At this moment, Li Xue walked over.

"President Lin, the Elizabeth delegation is still waiting there. What should we do?"

“I’ll contact the general about this; he should be able to resolve it.”

Fang Weihai's phone rang.

"You've already gone back?"

"The situation here has basically stabilized, so I came back first. However, the negotiations with Elizabeth are not over yet."

Fang Weihai felt utterly helpless.

"Let me tell you my plans. I'm planning to start a new project based on the existing one. But if Elizabeth and the others continue to interfere, it won't do me any good. So, who can take over this project? Li Xue is my assistant; I can't keep having her negotiate with Elizabeth and the others indefinitely."

Fang Weihai felt a bit annoyed; he was busy dealing with earthquake-related matters and couldn't spare the time.

Having no other choice, he took advantage of a break in his work to quickly call his superior, the general, and report the matter.

Upon hearing this, the general immediately found Elizabeth and told her to leave immediately so that a new round of negotiations could begin.

Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lin, are we really going to develop a new product?"

“That’s right. I think it’s quite suitable for Master Huang to be in charge of the design of this fourth-generation aircraft. He should be able to do a good job. If any problems arise in the future, I can help solve them.”

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Master Huang immediately flew into a rage.

"Are you asking me to be the designer of a fourth-generation aircraft, or the chief designer?"

"Yup!"

Lin Chen sat there with a smile on his face. "Please spare me. I can't even draw properly. I can make things based on drawings, but you want me to design something so advanced? How could I possibly do that?"

It was clear that Master Huang was extremely flustered at the moment; in his view, this was simply unrealistic.

"Don't forget, we also have 'Sunday,' which can be a big help in crucial moments. Have you forgotten?"

"'Sunday'."

Master Huang then gradually calmed down.

"Master Huang, are you questioning my work ability? I've put in a lot of effort during the time I've spent with my owner, and I think I'm one of the best learning computers in this regard."

"You said you were fat and you were breathless."

Lin Chen teased him on purpose.

"However, we do need to research some new things. I'm sure we need to find a material that, at least in critical moments, won't pollute the Earth."

In fact, this is what happened.

In the disaster area, everyone is racing against time to repair houses or rescue people from the rubble.

However, we always find some useless plastics. These things can pollute the environment at critical moments. Although the impact is not big, it cannot be ignored.

Many people in the military deal with this plastic waste every day, and many of the things doctors use are also disposable.

If this situation continues, it will not benefit anyone and may even make environmental problems more serious.

This is also the main reason why Lin Chen was determined to start the next project.

Lin Chen simply built a new house on the vacant lot behind the "Everything Can Be Repaired" factory and installed various facilities such as the internet inside.

This new house is much more spacious than the old one.

"Haha, with this place, I don't have to worry anymore. As long as I keep working hard, this place will all be ours, and that's what I want most."

Lin Chen was particularly pleased; this new place, which combined offices and laboratories, was several times larger than the previous one.

Moreover, it can also conduct various large-scale experiments.

"Master, from now on we have two systems. There will definitely be no problems with the servers."

Lin Chen spent a week building a larger laboratory. It contained a dedicated server and various large computers.

Thanks to Lin Chen's tireless efforts, the new imaging equipment has also been greatly improved.

Compared to the previous generation, this imaging technology represents a qualitative leap.

Now the crucial question arises. If this task can be completed smoothly, the future results will undoubtedly be better and better, which is one of the outcomes they are most looking forward to.

"Alright, it's settled then. In any case, I've finally found a breakthrough. We'll see how things go from here."

The first thing Lin Chen needs to do is to gain a comprehensive understanding of various materials, especially plastics.

His previous idea was to directly separate and recombine the plastic materials, which should solve the problem.

The problem is, if all this plastic is turned into raw materials, it's hard to say what the final result will be.

“‘Sunday,’ how about this, let’s look around the globe first. I heard there’s an eighth continent that’s full of garbage. People have tried all sorts of methods to recycle it, but none of them have succeeded, right?”

"That's right!"

On Sunday, he quickly retrieved all the information he had collected and presented it to everyone.

It turns out that this trash is all marine debris, most of which is plastic.

"According to previous information, a cargo ship was involved in a maritime accident and sank. Some of the toys on board sank to the bottom of the sea, while others drifted around in the Pacific Ocean with the ocean currents. These were mainly toys like rubber ducks. Did you know that when these ocean currents reach a certain place, they will merge with another ocean current, creating a compression, and the garbage will continue to accumulate there?"

Sunday's presentation silenced the entire laboratory instantly.

Data shows that this garbage has accumulated into a "continent".

"Let's not talk about that now. We need to go and see for ourselves, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. If this trash pollutes the ocean, then what about our home, the place we humans depend on for survival..."

Lin Chen was momentarily at a loss for words to express his inner worries.

He walked directly into the third-generation fighter jet. As the sunroof slowly opened, Sunday immediately determined the coordinates based on the data, and the third-generation fighter jet flew straight over.

The scene before him greatly shocked Lin Chen.

The sight of the garbage floating on the sea was shocking to him.

"Is this what we humans have been doing all along?"

Much of this trash has faded from its original color due to the sun, and it looks like it has been there for at least several decades.

"Isn't it shocking? I understand what this means to you. People have tried to collect garbage here before, but they all failed because the amount of garbage is just too huge. Even if all the ships that humans have were brought here, it wouldn't be possible to transport all this garbage away in one go!"

"Let's go back!"

This time, Lin Chen truly felt the weight of his responsibilities and the long road ahead.

He began to think about how to solve this problem.

Someone previously invented a biodegradable agent, but during the test, a chlorine gas leak occurred, forcing the test to be terminated.

To date, humans have no way to artificially degrade plastic.

Therefore, the garbage that drifts in with the ocean currents can only continue to accumulate.

Although humanity has begun to pay attention to this issue, garbage continues to accumulate, even to an intolerable degree.

“Master, perhaps now is the time for us to show our skills.”

"Indeed!"

However, Lin Chen discovered a problem while reviewing the researchers' technical data. So far, all experiments related to the biodegradability of plastics have ultimately been terminated due to various unforeseen circumstances.

"Good heavens, this is a high-risk experiment. Looks like I need to hurry up and build a usable machine."

As the saying goes, self-reliance leads to abundance. Since chlorine gas might hinder my research, I might as well take this opportunity to build a safety chamber.

This safety chamber can reliquefy chlorine gas under various circumstances and then convert it into a substance through some means.

Unexpectedly, what was made was a small-scale matter generator, and it was even more advanced than the ones in the previous factory.
