If you can’t buy or sell, you can only rely on harvesting wool.

Looking through the metal inventory in the warehouse, Zhou Jimin found that there were quite a lot of metal materials he needed now.

The metals that lose the most are rhodium, uranium, molybdenum and other metals, which are also the rare metals with the largest demand.

They are needed when matching various aircraft alloy materials.

After checking the information, the Pogo Mine in Alaska is the most suitable place for him to harvest wool.

Because it is one of the three largest gold mines in the world and the largest gold mine in the country. It is located southeast of Fairbanks and is a mixed mine.

The metal molybdenum alone has a huge storage capacity of 199.5 tons.

It directly made Zhou Jimin's mouth water.

If you are not a family member, you don’t know how expensive money, rice, oil and salt are.

The consumption of various rare metals is the fastest in the laboratory.

For example, in the small town of June Fourth, more than 20 kilograms of aluminum, titanium and other metals are consumed every month.

The various scrap alloy materials they produced exceeded two tons.

If it were other research institutes, such losses would actually be very, very outstanding.

Capitalists will be moved to tears when they see it.

However, Zhou Jimin provided relevant experimental data and asked them to debug the production line according to the data, but they could still produce so much waste.

One can imagine how serious this loss is.

The greater the loss, the greater the demand.

But he looked at the name Alaska, shook his head and crossed it out. Now he has to be patient and don't provoke the mangy Yingjiang.

Don't eat nothing by then, but instead get into trouble. That would be a tragedy.

Then he set his sights on the island near the equator, which also has the world's largest mineral deposits.

Grasberg Mine, the world's largest gold mine and third largest copper mine.

This place is located near Jaya Peak, only a two-hour flight from the capital.

If it were his new plane, flying at Mach 3, it would only take a little more than an hour.

Of course, distance is not the point, the current situation over there is!

Due to historical background, after independence in this area, the Grasberg Mine was still owned by a Dutch company.

Although it is no longer the Dutch-Indian Federation, the forces within the territory are complex and various conflicts are particularly prominent.

However, the local miners have their own demands, such as higher wages, improved welfare benefits, etc.

As a gold mine with huge reserves, the Grasberg Mine has also been targeted by local government departments.

Therefore, there are many parties fighting, and the mine is in chaos.

Such a chaotic situation is perfect for fishing in troubled waters.

However, we have to find out the specific situation clearly before we can make a better start.

The most ideal situation is to pay for it directly. In that case, he doesn't have to take risks.

After all, a place like a mine is definitely one of the most chaotic and darkest places.

"Well, let's wait a little longer. After this period of busy work is over, we can go over and have a look."

After consulting the relevant information, Zhou Jimin finally played it safe and did not act immediately.

Two days later, a new plane was built.

Two aircraft were tested together in a wind tunnel, but their sound insulation materials were different.

This supersonic aircraft with four tons of sound insulation material has a maximum flying speed of only Mach 3.4, which is slower than the previous aircraft with only two tons of sound insulation material.

Other data have not changed much, but the sound insulation effect has exploded.

At the ultimate speed of Mach 3.4, it seems to be completely silent, very quiet.

This cliff is the biggest surprise.

Zhou Jimin grinned directly at this effect.

Therefore, the old supersonic aircraft will be stored in the warehouse after the test is completed.

His follow-up direction is to develop engines with greater thrust, and then build transport aircraft, bombers, etc.

Secondly, reconnaissance aircraft can also be put on the agenda.

Anyway, the engines and everything are ready-made, and the relevant design plans can be adjusted step by step, and the key points can be highlighted according to the needs of different aircraft.

For example, for transport aircraft, the carrying capacity is the key, and flight speed can be slightly ignored. There is no need to think too much about these.

As for reconnaissance aircraft, it is more necessary to consider speed, concealment and stability, etc., and at the same time, it is necessary to strengthen its communication capabilities.

After all, the most important purpose of a reconnaissance aircraft is actually its reconnaissance capability. After obtaining the most valuable information, it must be delivered in a timely manner.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?"

That evening, when Zhou Jimin was sitting in the study reading a paper, he suddenly laughed, causing Zhou Qingxian, who was also reading next to him, to cast a doubtful look.

"Dad, you can shave your beard tonight. Are you happy?"

What?

The children immediately put down their books and gathered around.

Ding Qiunan, who had just arrived home from get off work, also carried Xiaowan to the study door and said with a smile:

"Jimin, are you done with your research?"

More than a month has passed, and the whole family did not expect that he would stay at home for such a long time.

Although everyone knows that he is conducting experiments in seclusion, they still don’t know what he is doing in the study every day.

Most of the drawings, small experiments, etc., except for himself, the whole family cannot understand.

You can often see him frowning and thinking hard. Everyone wants to help him, but they don’t know where to start.

In the end, I had no choice but to remain silent. Not disturbing him was the greatest support.

So, now that the experiment is successful, no matter what, the family can feel more relaxed.

Zhou Jimin nodded and just said that it was successful, and there was no more news.

"Then I'll tell Zhao Di to make dinner more generous."

"Well, Nannan, thank you."

"What are you thankful for? We are both a couple, so we have to support each other."

After spitting, Ding Qiunan hugged the child and went out.

The little one has already brought his father's shaving tools:

"Dad, hurry up and shave your beard. I'll bring you the razor."

Xiaoyi also shouted excitedly. She went to get hot water, while Zhou Qingxian went to get a towel.

The two other children, Liang Wanzhou and Zhou Xiaobai, saw that they had nothing to do to help, so they had no choice but to help by pressing shoulders and legs.

The five children are all very good, which makes Zhou Jimin very happy.

After shaving, he felt much refreshed.

In the evening, there is a cheerful atmosphere in the living room.

Lao Yang originally picked up his wife, but he didn't expect to be left to have dinner with him.

While eating, Lao Yang mentioned the construction progress of the tractor factory in the suburbs. It is estimated that it will be completed in another month.

Speaking of which, this tractor factory is also somewhat difficult to produce.

He and Lao Yang submitted the application for building a factory years ago, but they didn't expect to be asked to discuss it. After a long time, it was not approved.

In the end, Zhou Jimin went to Lao Lin to urge him, and the matter was finally implemented.

Even so, there are still many tractor factories coming to fight the autumn breeze.

If Lao Yang hadn't stopped him, Zhou Jimin would have wasted a lot of time.

Regarding the follow-up construction progress, Zhou Jimin only learned about it from Lao Yang, otherwise he would not have the time to take the initiative to find out.

"Old President, they are all very grateful to you. If I hadn't stopped you, your house would have been filled with eggs and other gifts."

"I didn't do anything. It's all your credit. If I want to give it as a gift, I'll give it to you."

When Lao Yang heard this, he glared and said, "Why don't you get any credit? Don't look at me carelessly. If you really think so, I will tell the old president your home address immediately. Do you believe it or not?"

Zhou Jimin smiled bitterly and quickly said that Thaksin believed in him and not to tell the old president and others.

However, Lao Yang suddenly laughed again and gloated:

"Even if I don't say anything, the old president will probably be able to find out. You'd better think about how to deal with it in advance."
