521: Company status

"One is responsible for drilling. I have very high requirements for the drill bit. It needs to drill to a depth of 50,000 meters, penetrating the Moho discontinuity!

The other is responsible for entering the sea. My requirements for this are also very high. It needs to be able to reach the deepest part of the ocean while keeping costs low and being able to develop a large amount of resources from the seabed."

Guo Hao smiled and said to Zhou Ming beside him.

A trace of confusion appeared in Zhou Ming's eyes.

He didn't understand why Professor Guo would suddenly propose these two strange requirements.

Drilling?

And drilling to 50,000 meters underground?

Entering the sea?

Needing to reach the deepest part of the ocean while the cost needs to be the lowest, and needing to be able to develop a large amount of resources from the seabed?

No matter how he looked at it, it felt strange!

Based on the current situation, the deepest humans have drilled is only a little over 12,000 meters. This number needs to be increased by more than four times.

Just thinking about it felt strange.

Because when drilling below 10,000 meters, every meter of increase brings a large amount of uncertainty, and many times, it's simply impossible to continue!

Every meter downwards, the cost is very, very high, and there is too much uncertainty.

More importantly, there is no return.

It can be said that there is not even a little bit of return, after all, drilling such a deep hole is definitely not going to be large.

It can basically only accommodate the size of a drill bit. Under such circumstances, no matter what is drilled into, there will basically be no return because it simply cannot be harvested!

Under such circumstances, except for a certain major country back then that spent a large amount of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to drill the hole below 10,000 meters.

Basically, no other country has gone to do this thankless task again.

It's really meaningless!

Leaving this matter aside, there is also seabed exploration. This indeed has some prospects and some room for profit.

But...

How could the cost of submersibles not be high?

And developing materials from the seabed, how is that possible!

With such high costs, transporting anything upwards from the seabed thousands of meters down requires spending several times the cost of acquiring these materials!

Therefore, currently, besides offshore oil extraction, humans basically do not develop any other materials from the seabed!

No choice!

The cost is simply too high!

Those submersibles, in order to resist water pressure, had to be designed to be very narrow, generally only accommodating one or two people, so they could dive into the deep sea of seven or eight thousand, or even tens of thousands of meters.

Developing the deep sea?

What on earth is Professor Guo thinking?

"Boss, you..."

Zhou Ming looked troubled.

"What?

No money on the books?"

Guo Hao asked Zhou Ming calmly.

"There is money, it's just..."

"If there's money, go do it!

Hire a mature team specializing in this area, and also hire people for materials.

Let them cooperate, and I will be listed in the team!"

Guo Hao said decisively to Zhou Ming.

The purpose of him starting the company was to help him do things, not to let them hinder him from doing things!

Guo Hao naturally saw Zhou Ming's hesitation, but he didn't care.

How much could these things cost?

At most tens or hundreds of billions, compared to the money he earned, it was a drop in the bucket!

It wasn't a loss at all for the preparations to complete the System task!

"Yes..."

Zhou Ming felt a little helpless.

He had originally wanted to persuade Professor Guo, but unfortunately, his Boss's ideas were very formidable.

He simply couldn't persuade him.

He could only agree!

"Alright, go do it!

There is no upper limit on the budget!"

Guo Hao said directly.

"Understood, Boss."

Zhou Ming nodded helplessly. After all, this was not something a small employee like him could interfere with.

He could only execute what the Boss decided.

Guo Hao then roughly asked about the company's operating situation during this period.

The situation was much better than he had imagined.

Since the solid-state battery was launched, it quickly opened up almost all markets, while production capacity was severely insufficient.

With this unique technology, it almost drove all battery giants on the market crazy, including the CATL, all the battery giants.

They all started transforming, beginning to do some battery-related industries, including new energy vehicles, or some high-energy consumption appliances and the like.

There were also super platforms like super fast charging.

Either they relied on industries like the lithium ore they held and began to cooperate with Deep Space Technology.

There were also some factories that wanted deep integration with Deep Space Technology and wanted to become an OEM factory for Deep Space Technology!

No choice!

If it were just slightly better than the batteries currently on the market, everyone could actually accept it. At most, they would increase investment in battery development, it was no big deal!

Competition would still be competition.

But 2000wh/kg, this data, the energy density alone is more than ten times that of all batteries on the market.

Not to mention, the safety performance is even more heaven-defying. After the battery was launched, many people tested it and found that this solid-state battery...

...could not be ignited by puncturing, burning, or other external impacts!

The stability was simply terrifying!

Even when punctured inside the battery, the battery could still operate normally.

What's more, at 2000 yuan per kilogram, this price can be said to be very, very cheap!

You should know that a lithium iron phosphate battery of the same weight also costs nearly 2000 yuan!

Under such circumstances.

Traditional battery manufacturers were instantly despairing.

What kind of business could they still do? The gap was too big!

And BYD's official side, after confirming cooperation with Deep Space Technology, also decisively closed its battery factory.

It was no longer meaningful!

All capital worldwide found Deep Space Technology, wanting to get patent authorization and wanting to buy technology.

But they were all rejected by Zhou Ming!

How could that be!

There could be no leak of solid-state battery technology at all!

Under such circumstances, in less than a year, the money on Deep Space Technology's books had easily reached hundreds of billions, or even more!

Of course, for Guo Hao, it didn't mean much.

At his level of wealth, more money was just a number.

After roughly understanding the company's financial situation, Guo Hao left the company.

And at this time, the Riemann Hypothesis was also published in Spark.

Currently, the mathematicians who came to Dragon Country to attend the report meeting on the Riemann Hypothesis had basically returned to their own countries.

Online public opinion surged again, and many Mathematics students who couldn't understand Chinese left messages on Professor Tao Zhexuan's social media account.

"Hey, did that Guo Hao really solve the Riemann Hypothesis?"

"That '"Xinghuo"' journal, couldn't it be Professor Guo entertaining himself?"

"Yeah!

For a journal of this level, who are the reviewers?

It couldn't possibly be Guo Hao himself, could it!"
