Chapter 112: The Mechanical Flagfish's Ambition (Part 1)

  "Why must the sailfish be transformed?" Although buying a sailfish wasn't expensive, Yang Yawei thought it was better to ask clearly, who knows what this guy hasn't revealed yet, and then spend extra energy later.

  "The sailfish's body structure is most effective for speed, it is one of the fastest swimming fish in the ocean, reaching speeds of around 97 km/h! Although ordinary fish can also reach such speeds with energy support, they will consume extra energy, given the current energy reserves, and don't mind modifying ordinary fish. Because the nearest deep sea with manganese nodules near S city is 420 kilometers away, at sailfish speed, plus energy support, under normal energy consumption, it can roughly reach 2, and about 5 hours can make a round trip. According to the most optimized processing scheme calculation, carrying 20 kg of manganese nodules, energy consumption and results are most effective, which takes about 7.6 hours for a round trip."

  Yang Yawei suddenly felt that this auxiliary system with logical thinking ability was more useful. "Optimal processing, can you elaborate?" Yang Yawei thought carefully for a moment, but he couldn't calculate it and still needed the auxiliary system to do the calculation.

  Carrying 20 kg of thorium nodules, 7.6 hours per round trip, the mechanical sailfish itself consumes 5 points of energy. The minerals contained in the 20 kg of thorium nodules can synthesize 11.7 points of energy according to the maximum synthesis scheme, synthesizing its own consumption of 2.1 energy, storing 4.6 energy for each round trip, and storing 13.8 energy per day. Adding the system's daily minimum consumption of 2 points of energy, it can store 11.8 energy per day. With a remaining energy reserve of 240.335, it is expected to be able to modify the second mechanical sailfish in 55.5 days! After owning the second mechanical sailfish, it is expected to be able to modify the third mechanical sailfish in 37.8 days! It is expected that after 200 days, there will be 10 mechanical sailfish, and the daily energy storage will reach 118 points. The auxiliary system spat out a string of numbers.

  Yang Yiwei was stunned, 200 days, which is roughly 7 months later, he could get an extra 118 points of energy every day! This is under the condition that no external force is used. Calculating in this way, after about a year, he would probably be able to have dozens of mechanical flagfish, which is obtained with the help of external forces! And after having dozens of mechanical flagfish, if he lets the biological modification instrument output materials, the daily output number wouldn't be small either?

  This is a complete snowball, and after two years, I'm afraid the energy I have will be astronomical. At that time, use Mao's flagfish to transform a mechanical blue whale, with nothing in its belly, how many kilograms of thorium nodules can it carry at once? Although the speed may not be comparable to that of the flagfish, but for such a long time, I can completely find a place near the deep sea, no need to go so far!

  In fact, the auxiliary system's calculation completely ignored the most crucial thing. Although manganese nodules are free, if Yang Yawei buys these minerals with money to increase energy, how much will the speed of obtaining energy increase? Moreover, if a small amount of these minerals is purchased, the consumed funds are not particularly huge either.

  Here is the translation:

  Thinking of this, Yang Yawei didn't even greet the auxiliary system and directly switched pages, opening Baidu to search for the price of titanium ore. Titanium concentrate with over 46% TiO2 and less than 10% iron costs only over 1,600 yuan per ton. How much would it cost to buy one ton each of the minerals needed to synthesize energy? Moreover, the biological modification device doesn't even need to be purified, as it can automatically purify, although the energy consumption will be a bit higher, but that's not a problem. How much energy can these synthesize? About 20 kilograms can synthesize about 11.7 points of energy, excluding consumption, pure income is about 9.6 points of energy. Buying a few more tons of ore and making a few thousand points of energy shouldn't be a big deal, right?

  In that case, won't his own army of flagfish be realized soon? After passing through the initial stage, Yang Yiwei can reduce energy income, convert some minerals into material output, and then turn them into money. This is simply a huge cycle process, and the energy of the biological modification device will also start to snowball crazily.

  It has to be said that a person's thinking can really get stuck in a dead end, although now only an auxiliary system is awakening Yang Yawei, but this also gives Yang Yawei the greatest motivation. Calculating according to this situation, he may become the world's largest supplier of mineral raw materials in just a few years!

  Damn it, what's there to be afraid of at that time! Although Google, Microsoft and other companies are awesome, the truly awesome ones are industrial enterprises like Standard Oil, Shell, Sinopec, and various mining companies. These companies are the real deal. Are IBM and Intel not awesome?

  Damn it! Even if you're super capable, you can't produce anything without raw materials! Although Yang Yawei can't monopolize the raw materials, he can provide better materials! However, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, Yang Yawei must first set up his own company, otherwise, consuming so many minerals, there should be a name for it, unless you want to make everyone suspicious.

  As for the future, let's talk about it after it happens. People have some small secrets and will be suspicious, not to mention that what Yang Yawei has now may be the biggest secret on the entire planet. Before even starting, Yang Yawei had already begun thinking of ways to cover himself up, although it may not be necessary to be so cautious at this stage, but these things will eventually need to be prepared for, and it's better to prepare early rather than late, steady and steady is good.

  "Actually... if you have any questions, you can just ask me directly, no need to search for information online." Yang Yawei's search seemed to make the assistant system "understand" something, and it suddenly came out with a sentence. Yang Yawei rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked: "Hey, do you have a name? Do you know what a name means?"

  If the auxiliary system had emotions, I don't know if it would be covered in black lines. "There is a detailed explanation of names in my database, do you need me to read it out for you?" The tone of the auxiliary system's voice couldn't be discerned, so it was unclear whether it was being serious or not.

  Yang Yawei wiped the sweat and thought to himself, "How did I also become so silly, arguing with a computer system?" He thought for a moment and said, "Since you understand, then let's do this. I'll give you a name. From now on, when I call that name, you'll know it's you I'm calling."

  "Directive acknowledged."

  "Alright, from now on I'll call you Wang Cai." Yang Yiwei said after a moment of contemplation.

  "Command recording complete, auxiliary system renamed as Wang Cai." The auxiliary system's voice confirmed Yang Yawei's command without any hesitation.

  "Uh, I was just kidding. From now on, your name will be Xiao Xi! The 'xiao' in Xiao is small, and the 'xi' is from the West." Yang Yawei didn't have any malicious intentions; he had only said that to verify something.

  "The command recording is complete, Wangcai's title has been corrected to Xiao Xi."
