Chapter 70 Professor Shen
In the end, Rey Diaz's plan to drill through the earth was not approved, but his plan to mine the earth's current was approved because the energy contained in it was indeed amazing.
Nowadays, nuclear fusion fuel is far away on the moon, and the price is not cheap. Even relatively expensive fossil energy and traditional clean energy have not been completely eliminated, not to mention the low-cost mining of earth current.
This also makes people wonder. The compass was invented thousands of years ago, but no one has thought of exploiting a treasure like earth current until now.
Therefore, PDC plans to build three geocurrent mining drilling rigs in the initial stage. If the results are good, it will establish a geocurrent energy industry.
As for the development of Antarctica, it will be a matter for the future. The nine major council members are interested in exploiting the earth's current, not the resources in Antarctica.
And Sai entered hibernation again, and this time the conditions for her to wake up were still the same two, the wall-facer was broken, or the Nanfu plan made progress.
After Sai hibernated, the world was still moving, and the most eye-catching thing was the earth's current.
Even under the influence of controllable nuclear fusion, the earth's current mining industry is still expanding rapidly, and it took only six years to replace most of the original petrochemical industry and traditional clean energy.
Especially for countries with relatively backward technology, because they do not have controllable nuclear fusion power stations, their energy structure is basically completely dependent on the earth's current industry.
"Mr. Rey Diaz, when will we start building underground spaceships?" asked the thin Asian man known as Professor Shen.
"Hey, we are eating and drinking with public funds anyway. The PDC helped pay for this meal. How polite is that?" Rey Diaz seemed to be in high spirits today and kept talking.
"Professor Shen, those losers from the PDC have passed the Sunset Project, and they will provide us with resources."
"We have a general understanding. You want to understand the underground structure and prepare to drill through the earth, right?" asked the Indian representative.
"Yes, the Earth Tunnel is still in the theoretical exploration and design stage and needs a lot of experimental data support, at least that's what Professor Shen, the chief scientist of my research team, said."
Near Caracas, there are many tall high-voltage towers. Because of the use of nanomaterials, these towers are very light and agile. One end of the high-voltage wires is led from the ground and connected to the giant electrode deep in the earth.
This also restored his infamous reputation a little bit, because he could at least exploit the energy source of earth current.
"Okay, as you wish." Professor Shen said with a graceful smile, and then walked towards the restaurant.
"Okay." The rotating chairman of the PDC knocked the hammer helplessly and said: "Let's go back to Mr. Rey Diaz's Sunset Project. The cost of this project is not high and it is completely acceptable."
"Yes, the depth of ultra-deep drilling is too shallow now. It must at least reach the Gutenberg discontinuity, so I need to start the sunset project." Rey Diaz demanded.
"But the details still need to be discussed, regarding the underground spacecraft."
He liked the earth's current energy very much, so when the earth's current mining project was launched, Rey Diaz used his identity as a Wallfacer to take the lead in building a large number of ultra-deep drilling wells in Venezuela for mining electricity.
"Mr. Rey Diaz, do you still want to continue to drill?" asked the PDC rotating chairman thousands of miles away.
"Who is this Professor Shen?" asked the American representative.
"Crazy?" Lei Diaz said dissatisfied: "Without wise men like me and Professor Shen, how can you wastes want to exploit the earth's current industry? Your simple brains can't think of anything!"
Because Professor Shen was a close confidant of Rey Diaz, he was not inspected when he entered. At this moment, Rey Diaz had already opened a bottle of red wine.
"You are too polite." Professor Shen still had a smile on his face. This smile seemed to be a mask and would never change.
With the support of the Earth Current Industry, the economy of this country with a population of over 100 million entered a state of rapid development. In less than six years, Venezuela's economic aggregate surpassed that of France.
Rey Diaz likes to see these ultra-deep drillings using laser drills. In his opinion, they are like the oil drilling of the past, which brought endless wealth to his "Grand Colombia".
"Polite manners!" Ray Diaz yelled.
"What is Sunset Project responsible for?" the Russian representative asked curiously.
"It is a standard expedition voyage. The difference is that these spacecraft are responsible for diving into the depths of the earth and conducting geological exploration work."
After the Sunset Project passed, Ray Diaz threw the V-equipment aside and called over a thin Asian man who looked kinder.
"That's pretty much it. I'm the Wallfacer. You can give me whatever I want." Ray Diaz sneered.
"I know this man, who is as unrealistic and crazy as you are."
Coupled with its huge nuclear arsenal and Rey Diaz's status as a Wallfacer, this South American country is like a new great power and seems to be qualified to become a permanent member of the PDC.
"Mr. Rey Diaz, please pay attention to basic courtesy." Seeing that their allies were insulted, both the Russian and Japanese representatives condemned.
"Professor Shen Yuan, he is the former director of the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Resources of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is specialized in geographical exploration work and is also the designer of the Antarctic Garden Project Plan."
"Have a seat, Professor Shen. The others will be here soon. This is a feast. It must be delicious. The fish for the appetizer alone cost hundreds of thousands. What is this? Oh, bluefin tuna."
……..
Venezuela, Caracas, Rey Diaz Residence
It seems that Rey Diaz has overcome the condemnation of his conscience this time. He no longer suffers from heliophobia. In addition, his relationship with the PDC has hit rock bottom. He has been living in Venezuela instead of Isla Verne.
And maybe because he is worried about assassination, he rarely leaves his official residence now, and even meetings are conducted online through V equipment.
"Now you go get ready, but first eat the celebration banquet before you go. You can start eating soon. I'll open a bottle of red wine first." Ray Diaz put his arm around Professor Shen's shoulders and laughed.
But as the saying goes, great joy brings sorrow. Just as Rey Diaz and Professor Shen were eating and drinking, a man wearing the uniform of the Venezuelan National Army slowly walked in.
This man does not look like a Latin American, but a sturdy African-American bald man who looks a bit like Da Shi.
His first words made Ray Diaz almost pull out a gun and kill him.
"Manuel Reydiaz, the Wallfacer, I am your Wallbreaker."
