One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty-Six: Prepare for a Rainy Day

The country has its own needs, and for high-purity helium, it will definitely restrict casual trading.

Especially for our self-produced ones, the basic functions are allocated on demand.

First of all, it will definitely be allocated to those large-scale national scientific research projects, such as aerospace or nuclear energy laboratories.

As for companies like Xinghuo Technology, they may also give you some, but the amount will definitely not be much.

In the future, Xinghuo Technology will definitely usher in a leap-forward development process.

So at this stage, the demand for helium will definitely skyrocket.

The current situation is that under the deliberate control of the United States, the global annual production of helium is only so much, about 23,000 tons.

As for the countries that mainly produce helium, Mao Xiong basically strictly controls exports, and the United States depends on the mood. As for the kangaroo country, although they also export, considering the relationship with us, it will definitely increase the price.

The only country that has opened up its exports is the State of Qatar.

But because their technology and equipment are all provided by Americans.

At that time, if the carbon nanotube chips produced by Xinghuo Technology really make the Americans anxious.

At that time, the American people will really attack, and the ban against Company H will definitely be thrown out again.

If by that time, it will be too late to prepare.

Don't think that Americans won't do that.

The ban on Company H this time has made Americans realize the importance of holding core technology in their hands.

Look at Teji, and Sansang, 90% of the shares in Teji are controlled by foreign capital, of which 49% are American capital.

It can be said that if the American capital joins forces, they can control the extremely extreme board of directors.

There is also Sansang, with 55% of the shares, in the hands of **** and Citigroup.

So if counted by shares, this is also a US company.

To put it aside, the attitude of Americans towards this kind of company is that as long as you can make money for me, it doesn't matter about technology, you can do whatever you want.

If not, we can still help.

It is precisely because of this attitude that Sansang and Tejiji have their own unique skills in chip manufacturing.

Even Apple and Qualcomm have to find them as OEMs, but the Americans' own Intel chips have been stuck in the process of breaking through from 14nm to 10nm, and there is no way to break through.

Although Intel focuses on computer chips, in fact many of the principles are the same as the mobile phone chips mastered by Sansang and Teji.

So in fact, the Americans are coveting, and the technologies of these two companies have been around for a long time.

However, due to the face of his big brother, he has never made any demands on these two companies. Anyway, as long as the energy continues to make money for them, it will be fine.

But because of the sanctions against Company H this time, the American people realized that it would be impossible to pamper their younger brothers like this.

Because they were a bit disobedient, and the ban had already been issued repeatedly, but they were still flirting with Company H.

So they resorted to various means and asked these two to go to the United States to build factories. In fact, they just wanted to search for the core technology of these two.

And Sansang and Tejiji didn't know the wolf ambitions of the Americans, so they pushed left and right.

Shouting slogans, we will go, we will go, we will definitely go, the land has been sold, but the factory has not been built for a long time.

In fact, the reason is here.

But how can the arms be twisted more than the thighs? The Americans also saw that the two younger brothers were doing foreign work there.

So he spoke directly through Asmail under his control,

If they are not obedient, they will limit the production of lithography machines for them next year.

With just this sentence, the two little brothers were frightened into submission.

Not recently, Sansang's factory in the United States has started construction.

And the extremely special factory has also started construction...

It can be seen from the fact that Mi Guo put down his face this time and threatened and lured his younger brother, if they are really cruel, they can really do anything.

Not to mention Spark Technology, which is destined to become their life and death enemy in the future!

So now Xiao Feng has to plan ahead. Before that, he had conducted many review sessions with several leaders in the company.

In fact, it is similar to the kind of extreme survival test that H company has done before.

Let's see what shortcomings they still have if the United States cuts off supply in all directions.

The first problem that was discovered first was helium.

They are different from company H, which is a pure software company. The reason why company H is good is in software design and 5G development.

Americans do not need to do anything about hardware, as long as they are not allowed to use EDA tools and chip companies are not allowed to supply them.

Just these two punches alone have already KO'd Company H.

If Company H can produce its own hardware, the Americans can also kill Company H by restricting the export of helium.

So if we want not to be threatened by the Americans, we must first achieve freedom in terms of helium.

But our homeland is a helium-poor country. Even though Xiao Feng and the others have mastered the BGO flash helium extraction method, LNG is not so easy to deal with!

However, after discussing with the cloning experts, Xiao Feng changed his mind.

They no longer put the source of helium on LNG, but on other natural gas reservoirs.

In fact, the natural world is very amazing. In the land under our feet, there are not only gas deposits with high economic value such as oil, coal, and natural gas.

There are also many non-hydrocarbon gas reservoirs, such as carbon dioxide gas reservoirs and so on.

However, because the economic value brought by such gas reservoirs is not high, there has been little international interest in developing such gas reservoirs.

After all, they cannot be converted into shapes like petroleum and sold.

And the problem of greenhouse gas is very serious now, you still want to use carbon dioxide to make wool?

Therefore, after such non-hydrocarbon gas reservoirs are basically proven, once they are found to have no economic value, they will be abandoned.

However, this kind of non-hydrocarbon gas reservoir has a characteristic, and generally there is not only one kind of gas reservoir.

Most of them are mixed gas reservoirs of various gases, such as carbon dioxide gas reservoirs, which must be accompanied by a large amount of nitrogen and a certain amount of helium.

And the content of helium is not low.

But why, people don't exploit such gas reservoirs to purify helium?

The main reason is economic value.

If it is a natural gas reservoir, then the main component is natural gas. In fact, when people exploit such a gas reservoir, it is easy to purify helium.

The main purpose is natural gas. After all, this is a very tight energy source in the market and can be bought at a good price.

As for the purification of helium, it's all done with ease.

As for gas reservoirs like carbon dioxide, even if the content of helium is high, that is another matter entirely.

Because no matter how you mine, the main output is carbon dioxide, and almost 90% of it is carbon dioxide.

Although this thing has a wide range of industrial uses, the price is limited after all, and the annual usage is also very limited.

That is to say, it is used in the manufacture of dry ice, fire extinguishing agent, artificial rainfall, alkali production, and sugar production.

Other uses are not very extensive, and because there are too many ways to obtain carbon dioxide in society, it seems unnecessary to mine it exclusively from the ground.

Moreover, this thing is also very corrosive, and if you are not careful, it will cause a serious safety accident.

Therefore, although many gas reservoirs have been discovered, although the content of helium and nitrogen is very high, no one is willing to mine them.

First, the mining cost is high, and second, the separation cost is high.

But that's because they didn't have mature technology before, and the BGO flash helium extraction method that Xiao Feng and the others have now mastered can just be used in this kind of gas separation and purification.

Helium can be purified even from flash steam, let alone this carbon dioxide gas pool?

Speaking of gas reservoir resources, people may have to lament that God is so favored by Millikin.

You said why the natural gas with very high economic value is buried under their land, and the helium content is still so high.

However, most of the buried under the land of our country are carbon dioxide gas pools, which basically have little economic value.

Are you angry?

We must know that there are 22 large-scale gas reservoirs that have been identified in our country, and the content of some gas reservoirs is still world-class.

For example, a large carbon dioxide gas reservoir in the Hailar Basin has proven reserves of tens of billion cubic meters.

And the most interesting thing is that the reserves of this gas reservoir are still changing every year.

The reason for this is related to the unique local geographical environment.

Because this area happens to be located on a mantle fault zone, the top layer is a fault-staggered granite, which supports a solid ground.

Under the granite layer, there are many honeycomb-shaped fault zones and holes.

And these gases continue to spread and seep from the magma layer under the mantle, and are finally absorbed in the large holes formed by the granite.

After exploration, the gas reservoir here is a carbon dioxide gas reservoir rich in helium.

Overall, the carbon dioxide content in the entire gas reservoir is about 90%, the remaining 8% is methane, and 1.5% is ethane.

The helium content can reach about 0.02%. Compared with our country, it is already considered a "rich" mine, and has industrial mining value.

And it can also contain a certain amount of nitrogen. To be honest, if the technology is right, it is worth mining at first.

But before that, we hadn't mined it.

why? Te Niang's technique is not good enough!

Do you think carbon dioxide mining is so easy? When this thing is underground, it mostly exists in liquid form.

Once mined, this thing will gasify quickly, and in the case of electricity, this thing is still very unstable, it is easy to turn into carbonic acid, corroding the mining equipment...
