Reborn Before the Apocalypse: My Backing is the Nation

Chapter 39 120 million

A large notification box appeared on the computer screen in front of Gu Changshan at Doomsday Base 7.

"Material number 66548..."

He sent a search command to the Heavenly Secrets System, and information about the material was immediately displayed before him, including its chemical formula, preparation method, cost, raw materials, and so on.

And most importantly, which factories in China have the capacity to produce this material, and what is the output value, scale, number of workers, etc. of these factories?

He then issued two instructions simultaneously.

The first order was relayed to the action teams waiting in various cities.

In an instant, dozens of convoys roared out from military camps, state security departments, and other locations across the country, heading towards the factories on the list.

"Immediately summon all workers, halt all current production, conduct inspections, maintenance, and repairs of the production lines, and then urgently adjust operations to dedicate all production capacity to producing this material?"

The factory manager stared at the guard in disbelief: "This, this, our factory has a heavy production schedule, we signed a contract, and there are penalties for breach of contract..."

"We will handle everything."

The guard in front of me remained stern, his words still filled with unwavering authority and resolve: "We will pay the penalty for breach of contract."
In the event of any legal disputes, we will respond to the lawsuit.
All fees and costs will be paid at a premium of no less than two times the original price.
According to the law, in times of emergency, we have the right to requisition all civilian or non-civilian facilities.

This factory has now been requisitioned by us. Execute immediately—that's an order!

"……Yes!"

Similar events occurred in factory after factory, and the progress was displayed in real time on the computer screen in front of Gu Changshan.

He shifted his attention away from that and turned to the implementation of the second instruction.

Simply passing screening in the laboratory does not mean that it can be applied in reality.

The real-world environment and variables far exceed those of a laboratory setting. To truly utilize this material, real-world experiments are necessary.

The purpose of requisitioning those factories and starting production ahead of schedule was simply to save time.

In a factory laboratory, a container made from this material has been completed.

It is a cylinder with a length of 2 meters and a radius of 0.9 meters. It looks like an ordinary white plastic bucket. If you threw it on the street, people would probably not even bother to look at it.

But those who participated in the experiment knew that such an ordinary plastic bucket cost as much as 50,000 yuan!
Because it possesses almost absolute stability. When pure water is contained within it, the particles that make it up will hardly diffuse into the water, causing only a negligible amount of pollution.

At this moment, the pre-prepared pure water was slowly poured into this huge white plastic bucket in a highly cleanroom, and then tightly sealed.

It was placed on an experimental platform.

Once the sealing was completed, the test bench immediately began to shake randomly and irregularly, sometimes gently, sometimes rapidly, sometimes violently, and sometimes slightly.

This is a simulation of the transportation process in a real-world environment.

The experiment lasted for more than two hours before it ended. A group of lab technicians wearing white lab coats, dust caps, and goggles immediately gathered around and began analyzing the water samples.

The test results were displayed to Gu Changshan in real time.

"After a 150-minute simulated transport test, the average concentration of impurity particles in the water was 26 ppb, which is about 18% higher than the concentration of 22 ppb before the experiment, but less than the upper limit of 30%."

Actual simulation verification shows that the material meets the requirements! Upon seeing this result, Gu Changshan turned his attention to another part.

He saw that all 36 factories on the list had been requisitioned and had already started production.

It is expected that the first batch of 50 plastic buckets, each capable of holding 1 ton of pure water, will be produced in about an hour.

After that, various sizes of plastic buckets, such as 1.5 tons, 2 tons, and up to 5 tons, will be produced.

Of course, production will only continue after usable conclusions have been reached in the laboratory.

Otherwise, the on-site working group will immediately inform the factory to stop production, lift the requisition, compensate for losses and pay expenses before withdrawing.

One helicopter after another roared into the air and landed in front of their respective factory buildings. Once the first batch of plastic buckets was produced, they were immediately hoisted and transported to other factories that had been identified beforehand, located near the Moriyama base, and possessed the necessary qualifications for pure water production.

Pure water is often used for scientific research, and there is also a certain market demand for it, resulting in a considerable number of production plants.

Of course, the pure water produced by these factories was still some distance from the standards of the neutrino telescope, and the containers did not meet the requirements.

Raising the purity standard again at this point would significantly reduce production capacity. But that's okay; this can be addressed by requisitioning more factories, operating them at full capacity, and providing sufficient manpower, electricity, and logistical support.

Helicopters landed one after another at the pre-selected factory, and the bottling process began.

In the highly cleanroom, almost completely transparent pure water entered the large plastic drum, slowly and steadily filling its entire interior space and squeezing out all the high-purity air inside.

After being sealed, it was placed in a large steel barrel that was built to its exact size.

While plastic drums are clean, they lack strength and are prone to breakage. Encasing them in a steel drum for support solves the problem.

The total weight of the pure water and its container reached six tons.

The heavy helicopter roared into the air, carrying the large barrel straight to the Moriyama base, hundreds of kilometers away.

It must be transported by helicopter, not by large truck. Even on smooth roads, there will be bumps, which could cause the concentration of impurities to exceed the limit.

A maximum of five tons of pure water can be transported at a time. Gu Changshan knew that the neutrino telescope required 50,000 tons of pure water.

Taking into account losses, we need to transport a full 60,000 tons of pure water. Assuming that each helicopter can transport an average of 2 tons of pure water per trip, this means that 30,000 helicopter trips are needed.

Assuming an average transport cost of 40 per helicopter flight, 3 flights would amount to a total of 120 billion.

This does not even include the costs associated with the requisition of factories and other related expenses.

but……

It doesn't matter.

These efforts were worthwhile.

One after another, large plastic barrels with steel shells were placed outside the ground building of the Moriyama base.

Five freight elevators worked non-stop, frantically shuttling back and forth, piling one large barrel after another next to the main body of the neutrino telescope in the underground base, quickly forming a small mountain.
