Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 433 Billion Yuan Deal !

Universal Building, Office:

Liu Yong was seated in his roomy office on a busy level of the iconic Universal Building, engaged in a lengthy conversation with his tireless and devoted assistant, Bawang. The main topic of their discussion was the sizable amount of metallic debris scattered about among the remains of a once-grand spacecraft, which led them to consider whether it would be possible to transfer these numerous metallic fragments to a nearby, invitingly shallow coastal expanse.

With the aid of third-party vision, Liu Yong observed Overlord diligently clearing the wreckage's gaping hole, surrounded by discarded mud and rocks. This cavernous chasm, spanning over 100 meters in width and standing 70 to 80 meters tall, lay fully exposed. Beyond it lay an immense warehouse stocked with two distinct types of metal materials.

Overlord, tirelessly working, had already gathered an astonishing 300,000 to 400,000 tons of grey-black metal fragments from the vicinity of the hole, ranging from small, tens-of-kilogram-sized pieces to colossal fragments weighing several thousand tons each. These metal fragments lay neatly arranged on flat ground not far from the cavernous opening.

Liu Yong couldn't help but express his astonishment, remarking, "So many!"

Overlord replied with a sense of accomplishment, "Master, this is the fruit of my labor over several days."

Liu Yong offered his commendation, "Well done, truly exceptional."

Curious, Liu Yong contemplated relocating these metal fragments to the nearby shallow sea. After consideration, he decided, "Then continue your hard work for a few more days and transport them to the shallow sea."

Two shallow seas were nearby—one to the northwest and another to the southwest of the spaceship wreckage. The latter seemed the ideal choice, closer to both the destruction and Huahai City.

Liu Yong specified, "Move them to the shallow sea in the southwest. I'll arrange for a ship to transport these metal fragments back."

Although the spaceship's massive warehouse housed abundant grey-black metal fragments, Liu Yong prioritized moving the metal fragments from outside the wreckage first. The jet-black alloy bars would also be transported eventually. Still, he instructed, "Overlord, apart from these metal fragments, transport a hundred black alloy rods to the shallow sea. We don't need too many; just a hundred will suffice."

Each black alloy rod weighed over 20 tons, totalling more than 2,000 tons—more than adequate for their current needs.

With Bawang's tasks duly assigned, Liu Yong reached for his phone and began making arrangements. The "Blue Whale" would set sail at the earliest opportunity, followed by four iron ore bulk carriers acting as transport vessels.

This operation aimed to retrieve 200,000 to 300,000 tons of metal fragments and over 2,000 tons of black alloys—a haul expected to meet their requirements.

Shortly after finalizing the arrangements, Han Guang entered the room, brimming with excitement.

"Brother Yong, thank you, thank you so much!" Han Guang exclaimed, his gratitude evident.

Liu Yong sensed the reason behind Han Guang's elation and inquired, "Has the alloy knife been successfully crafted?"

Han Guang eagerly confirmed, "Not only have we successfully crafted it, but we've also conducted a knife test. Here's the test report. The alloy knife made from this black alloy surpasses our wildest expectations."

Han Guang's vivid description of the knife test had Liu Yong captivated, and his spirits soared. This was indeed excellent news!

The alloy knives could machine dozens of parts in a single go, exhibiting minimal signs of tool wear. Holding the test report in hand, Liu Yong perused it briefly before remarking, "It seems that this black alloy is tailor-made for manufacturing alloy knives. It's the most ideal material we could have hoped for."

Han Guang affirmed, "Absolutely, there's no alloy more suited for alloy knives than this."

Excitedly, he continued, "Brother Yong, with this alloy, our Taishan Alloy Cutting Tool Group will revolutionize the entire alloy cutting tool industry. Its impact on the manufacturing sector will be monumental."

Liu Yong shared in the excitement, realizing the transformative potential of this discovery. He mused, "Indeed, the impact will be overwhelmingly positive. With a substantial supply of alloy cutting tools, we may now be able to machine parts previously deemed impossible or too intricate to achieve desired precision."

Han Guang went on to express his intent to purchase this remarkable alloy, asking for a quote. Liu Yong, aware of the alloy's actual value, offered a price of 10,000 yuan per kilogram.

This price initially startled Han Guang, who had never encountered an alloy this expensive. However, he quickly recognized its fairness.

"Brother Yong, I'll take 100 tons to start, and we'll purchase more when we need it," Han Guang decided. This initial order of 100 tons equated to a staggering 1 billion yuan!

After sealing the deal, Liu Yong revealed that he had over 20 tons of the alloy readily available at the Universal Special Materials Company. Han Guang was thrilled to hear this, as it would enable them to swiftly produce a substantial number of alloy knives and blades, seizing the market.

Before parting ways, Han Guang sought Liu Yong's stance on selling the alloy to foreign buyers. However, Liu Yong firmly asserted, "Foreigners may want to buy it, but I won't sell it to them, no matter the price. I'm in no hurry to share this discovery with them."

Han Guang laughed heartily at this response, relieved that their domestic advantage would remain unchallenged. It would be soon that foreign alloy knife manufacturers faced fierce competition in the middle and high-end markets.

Global Scientific Research Center:

In the Global Scientific Research Center, Hu Nan, accompanied by his technical team, had achieved a significant milestone in the development of graphene-aluminium batteries. Their industrial production process was meticulously designed, and there were no remaining technical barriers to mass production.

Hu Nan, now leading his team, transitioned from successfully creating the graphene aluminium batteries for mobile phones to developing batteries for automobiles. These batteries varied primarily in size and specifications but adhered to the same fundamental principles, and progress was rapid.

The first batch of car batteries had already been manufactured, their size resembling small bricks. Observing these promising results, Hu Nan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. He realized that once these batteries hit the market, they would undoubtedly revolutionize the industry, marking the end of the era of traditional fuel-powered vehicles.
