Super Biological Empire Chapter 025: Fuel Plant

  As they watched the Q7's rounded and understated taillights disappear around the corner, Chen Yunying and others couldn't help but feel envious. After all, he was a generous golden son-in-law, only it seemed that he already had someone special in his life. The happiest people in the entire Audi 4S store were saleswoman Luo Xiaojuan and boss Li Bo, because they each got what they wanted.

  Lu Xiaojuan doesn't need to be said, originally still in the trial period, she easily became a regular employee because of this order, and will also receive a commission of over 20,000 yuan, it's like being hit by a pie.

  As for Li Bo, he took the opportunity to ask his friends about Duan Yue and "Makabi Biology" while handling the car procedures. It turned out that he was able to dig up some information. Although he made a little less this time, it's not bad to be able to get along with Duan Yue, and in the future, orders will not be scarce.

  Sometimes doing business doesn't require being too calculating about immediate benefits, as giving up can also lead to gains.

  …………

  In the spacious car of Q7, full of futuristic technology, Tang Lier looked at Duan Lei driving the car on the road with ease, like a fish swimming in the water. She was indeed surprised, and at first, she was worried that Duan Lei had just gotten his driver's license and would be a bit clumsy on the road. But to her surprise, Duan Lei's driving skills were almost as good as those of Guo Neng, who drove for her grandfather. Sitting in the car, she couldn't feel any bumps at all, and if she didn't look out the window, she wouldn't even know the car was moving.

  To know that Tang Lier's "Guo Neng" brother was selected from thousands of people in the army to drive for leaders, his driving skills can be imagined.

  The man's incredible abilities in every aspect made the sweetness in Tang Lier's heart grow thicker as she sat in the passenger seat. Tang Lier had driven many luxury cars before, but she had never felt this happy.

  …………

  "The quality of your planet's internal combustion engine is really too poor, the air is exceptionally bad." Just as Duan Yue was concentrating on driving, 'ding ding' suddenly came out with such a sentence.

  "It's still okay now, but in the past, we used leaded gasoline, which was even more polluting." Duan Cui had already gotten used to the sudden appearances and disappearances of "Ding Ding", his hands didn't stop moving for a moment. After shifting gears, he asked: "'Ding Ding', on planet Maca, what do people use as energy?"

  It has to be admitted that car exhaust is an important source of pollution in big cities, especially when traffic jams occur in the city center, the pungent smell in the air is really unbearable. Now, what Duanshu got from 'Ding Ding' is not much technology, the most critical one is still the 'pollution treatment' technology. However, 'pollution treatment' can only be used to treat polluted environments, which is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

  So, Duan Yue was very curious about what kind of energy people used in 'Maka Biology'. All along, 'Ding Ding' had only given fragmented descriptions of the planet Maka, and it was hard for Duan Yue to get a complete picture.

  "In the early days of Makka civilization, they also experienced a mechanical civilization similar to that of Earth, with severe pollution. As time went on, energy extraction increased, resources gradually became depleted, and the entire planet of Makka fell into a huge energy crisis." Seemingly having anticipated this problem, 'Ding Ding' spoke enthusiastically, "However, after much research by many scientists, Makka civilization began to develop in the direction of biological civilization, eventually developing many groundbreaking technologies and products. Among them, 'Devouring Grass' was an emergency invention that treated the symptoms, but what ultimately improved the environment of the planet Makka at that time was a new plant capable of producing 'complete fuel'."

  "'Complete fuel'?" Duan Yue listened to this phrase, feeling both familiar and strange. Familiar because the phrase was not complicated, but strange because he had never heard of it before...

  "Generally, when fuel is burned in an internal combustion engine, there will always be incomplete combustion, resulting in the production of nitrogen oxides, sulfur compounds and metal particles, which can easily pollute the air."

  Ding Ding seemed to get excited and started explaining to Duan Lei: "This new plant can produce fuel that can be completely burned, fundamentally solving the problem of air pollution and energy crisis..."

  "Can this plant be replicated on our Earth?" Du Lui asked somewhat impatiently after hearing 'Ding Ding's' words.

  The current energy shortage is to what extent, as long as a normal person can feel one or two, whether it is the rise in oil prices or the rise in electricity prices, it affects everyone's vital interests and moves people's hearts. If there is a new plant that can produce fuel, Duan Lei almost dare not imagine the huge impact it will bring.

  Whether or not to solve the pollution problem is not what Duan Yue is most concerned about, but rather what 'Ding Ding' said can use plants to produce oil, which is the key point that Duan Yue cares about.

  In recent years, in response to the continuous rise in oil prices, many countries have begun to study the use of bio-energy as a substitute for petroleum energy, but with general results.

  For example, in rural areas, using straw and human and animal manure as raw materials to produce biogas, replacing firewood and liquefied gas as alternatives for rural household life, has achieved quite good results. However, the applicable range of biogas is relatively narrow, and it can only be used as a living gas in rural areas, but cannot be widely applied to cities and industrialized production.

  In addition, people also use crops such as corn and cassava to produce methanol and ethanol through various processing procedures, which are then blended with gasoline for use. However, due to the high cost and land and food crises, the promotion of methanol gasoline and ethanol gasoline is not widespread, leaving them in a somewhat awkward position.

  Nowadays, when hearing "ding ding" say that there is a kind of plant on the planet Makka that can directly produce fuel oil, how can Duan Lei not be surprised?

  "This technology is also something I just retrieved from the database, as for whether it can be applied on Earth, that remains to be experimented. 'Ding Ding' hesitated for a moment before continuing: "However, this technology is like Pandora's box, once opened, things will get out of control."

  After reading many books about Earth, "Ding Ding" also started to learn some unique words on Earth, which is also a bit of keeping up with the times.

  "'Pandora'?" Duan Yue's back broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.

  "Plants that can directly produce fuel", once known to outsiders, I'm afraid I will be crushed by the huge national machine and not even a single piece of ash can be found.

  Since the 1950s, a considerable number of regional conflicts and wars have been triggered by oil, the blood of modern industrial civilization. Energy has become one of the most critical issues in the world.

  Although people are now vigorously developing new energy sources such as wind power, tidal power, solar energy and nuclear energy, these new renewable energy sources still cannot replace the important position of oil in modern economy in a short period of time.

  As long as the main oil-producing areas encounter hurricanes, wars or extreme weather, resulting in insufficient production or concerns, it will immediately trigger a panic performance of the global economy, and the importance of oil can be seen. Some people say that oil has become a barometer of modern economics, and even major oil companies have manipulated many governments' power, influencing the development of the entire planet at all times.

  If it were known that Duan Yue had a plant capable of producing fuel in his hands, the consequences would be unthinkable.

  "'Ding ding', this overly advanced technology really isn't something we can possess," thought for a moment, Duan Yue could only shake his head and sigh.

  "So you have to keep working hard, until your strength can ignore any national and organizational pressure, then this fuel plant can be born." 'Ding Ding' encouraged Duan Lei: "In the database, there are still many shocking technologies and products. If you don't have enough strength, you can only stare blankly."

  "That's all we can do" Hearing the "ding ding" suggestion, Duan Lei rolled his eyes.

  To put it bluntly, at the current development speed and trajectory of "Ma Ka Biology", Duanyan becoming a billionaire is only a matter of time. However, to become an existence that can counter national machinery is still too far-fetched. Throughout history, how many wealthy individuals who could rival nations ended up with a tragic outcome under the crushing pressure of national machinery? The most famous example being Shen Wansan from the early Ming dynasty, who was simply because he had too much money and was subsequently arrested and imprisoned by Zhu Yuanzhang, meeting a miserable end.

  To grow from an ordinary citizen to someone who can resist the state machinery, the difficulty is something that any normal person would understand. To describe it with a Hollywood movie, it's like - "Mission: Impossible".

  "Stone, don't think too much, just follow the current situation step by step, this day will come sooner or later." Feeling that Duan Lei seemed to lack some confidence, 'Ding Ding' encouraged him: "All my previous masters eventually became strong rulers of their own domains, there's no reason you can't succeed either."

  In Dindin's view, Duan Yue has now begun to embark on the right track. As long as he persists, success is just around the corner, so necessary encouragement is also essential.

  "Is the development of this oil plant being put on hold for now? Will it be resumed when the time is ripe?" Knowing that the oil plant was indeed too sensitive, Duan Lei could only suppress his inner thoughts and temporarily put it on ice.

  "It's not urgent, anyway you can start doing some research during your free time. After all, the situation on Mars and Earth are vastly different, it's not easy to develop fuel plants." 'Ding Ding' was more straightforward than Duan Lin, saying: "Let's do some preparatory work first, once the 'Diamond Tower' is built, we can speed up the process."

  After hearing 'Ding Ding's' words, Duan Lei still looked forward to what this magical fuel plant would look like.
