After this upgrade,
Tang Qing’s life returned to calm.
He didn’t send his fighters out to do anything.
Furthermore, aside from the clinical trials for various types of cancer opened up by the upgrade, there didn’t seem to be much else to do, but that did not mean he was idle all day. Tang Qing added more than a dozen significant scientific research plans.
He invested a total of ten billion Asia Dollars.
So much so that it even caused Tang Qing some pain in the liver.
No.
It was really painful.
Fortunately, after reviewing the content of the technology,
Tang Qing finally felt that it was worth the cost.
However, turning technology into money would still take some time.
’Integrated solution for the harmless filtration, dissolution, and recycling of solid waste.’ The technology it contained was comprehensive, possessing strong processing capabilities for daily and industrial products, including plastics, fibers, metals, chemical waste liquids, and more.
In the future, whether it be polluted rivers, land remodeling, or various waste recycling, the effects would be very promising.
But there were still drawbacks.
This comprehensive technology could not simply take a family’s household waste and automatically sort and dissolve it, and then happily solve the global waste disposal problem for everyone.
That was impossible, at least not with this technology.
If it really were like that,
the system would not just put a price tag of one trillion RMB on it—Tang Qing would have to eat his own flowerpot.
This technology was impressive,
but it was also within a reasonable scope.
This technology targeted single-type solid waste. For example, it could decompose various kinds of plastics together, but it couldn’t separate mixed waste consisting of plastics, leftovers, rotten fruit, grease, metals, glass, soil, paper, and so on.
This required advanced waste sorting.
As a consequence, the process became much more complicated. However, compared to incineration, the changes brought about by this technology were epoch-making. In an era where people are increasingly focusing on the environment, recycling, and the Earth’s ecology,
making money would not be difficult.
Especially one piece of technology that greatly intrigued Tang Qing.
That was the hazardous solid particle filtration technology.
This.
That was what Tang Qing considered to be the main source of profit in the future: think of vehicle exhaust fumes, think of industrial emissions, think of those cities in the North wrapped in smog for most of the winter.
Returning from the trip to Thailand and heading to Beijing, Tang Qing had already set his sights on solving air pollution, ordering the Command Room to focus on pollution control research.
He even considered developing a technology to manage nuclear pollution.
After such a long time,
there were certainly results.
The waste gases mainly contained two types of harmful substances: solids and gases. In fact, all countries had methods for handling the gases, as many harmful gases could react with other substances,
thereby being absorbed onto certain materials to eliminate the emissions. This was not surprising. The problem was that the cost was too high, making it impossible to popularize on a large scale, but the Command Room’s technological breakthroughs had solved this cost issue.
However,
the technology for filtering solid matter was the most challenging issue.
After all, once those particles formed in the gases, along with the already existing suspended particulates within the waste gases, what kind of sophisticated technology would be needed to miniaturize the system for use on car exhaust pipes? If a filter mesh were to be used, are you supposed to change it daily?
If the car owner forgot to change it and the exhaust pipe got clogged halfway through a journey, what then?
While these are issues that could be addressed with human intervention, you also have to take into account consumer habits. Changing the filter daily, then collecting the solid particle receptacle and fitting it into the car every day?
The customer experience would cause the Official Website to explode daily, keeping Customer Service perpetually busy.
Unless the government enforced it,
only a fool would install such a thing.
But now,
this technology offered a new filtration solution.
That was,
collect as it is generated,
discard as it is collected.
The key to this technology was a type of magnetic semi-metallic particle which reacted with the waste gas reactants, also metallic chemical substances, to form harmless solid particles that would be attracted by the magnetic particles.
They would then be directly expelled out of the device.
Because these magnetic metallic particles are heavy, they won’t be ejected into the air. Moreover, along with the attached compounds, they are the size of rice grains, but much heavier, and not even the wind could lift them.
They would then fall onto the road,
and a specially designed vehicle with a magnetic device would simply drive along the roads to recover them.
This effectively resolved the issue of frequent filter replacements.
Now with the filtration technology and the finished product finally emerging, Tang Qing felt somewhat relieved. The pollution control project had been initiated for nearly eight months, and while the results were impressive, no mature commercial products had come out yet,
which made Tang Qing a bit frustrated.
All is well now.
The filtration plan has been resolved.
It’s time to make money.
He was having the scientists start the final product design and testing based on the newly acquired technology, striving to reduce the cost as much as possible while also addressing some ancillary environmental protection and recycling issues, so it could officially hit the market.
...
February 8th.
Three o’clock in the afternoon.
Accompanied by a few families.
Tang Qing and Lin Jiaxue boarded the plane to Shanghai.
School would start the day after tomorrow, and they were arriving a day early to get settled in as usual. Tang Qing remembered he had never spent the 15th of the first lunar month at home; he had always been at school.
Wang Yan and her mother were also traveling with them.
Li Kai had left yesterday, traveling by train with his girlfriend. With no other choice, since the beginning of the school term was just like Kai’s potential father-in-law personally seeing his daughter off on the train, even with the wealth of Kai’s family, they didn’t dare to be too ostentatious.
On the plane.
This time, their seats were next to each other.
Since the working class and business people had left before the 8th, the majority of the passengers at this time were students. Not many of them were wealthy, so there were quite a few empty seats on the plane. However, Tang Qing had not chosen to sit in first class.
Because the first class cabins on medium-sized jets were just so-so, not luxurious at all, he preferred to squeeze in with Lin Jiaxue.
...
Six o’clock in the evening.
Shanghai.
Tang Qing’s car drove into the villa.
As soon as they got out,
Lin Jiaxue looked towards a certain direction in front of the villa,
paused for a moment,
and asked, "Tangtang, what’s that?"
There, on the vacant area in front of the villa that was originally designed for walking dogs and hosting outdoor parties, stood a snow-white, colossal vehicle about eight meters in length and three meters in height, resembling a bus.
Lin Jiaxue recognized the Mercedes-Benz symbol.
Tang Qing walked over and chuckled, "Didn’t I tell you before? My motorhome arrived after the New Year, but the underground garage couldn’t accommodate it, so I had to park it in the courtyard. It seems the villa is too small."
Indeed, it was a Mercedes-Benz motorhome.
He had purchased it, with proper procedures.
Tang Qing wanted to create a better-looking motorhome, but there wasn’t enough time. After all, you can’t just manufacture a vehicle and put it on the road. If he made a new model, he wouldn’t be able to get it approved in China.
So he had to make do with the Mercedes-Benz for now.
After some time, he would import a nicer-looking one from his territory. Tang Qing was very dissatisfied with its appearance.
However, despite bearing the Mercedes-Benz badge, the vehicle had been transformed by scientists inside and out, with a major makeover of the interior and the layout, and multifunctionality. After the scientists had modified it, Tang Qing even took it for a test drive in the training area, and the driving experience was quite good.
Upon hearing this,
Lin Jiaxue realized.
She remembered.
Tang Qing had indeed mentioned that the motorhome would arrive after the New Year before he went back; she just hadn’t expected it to take up so much space.
"Are you planning to go somewhere fun?" Wang Yan’s voice could be heard from behind.
They needed to register at school tomorrow, and she came here for dinner today. Now, her relationship with Lin Jiaxue was excellent, and facing Jiaxue’s warm invitation, Wang Yan was happy to come over for a nice meal.
"We don’t really have any plans, just thought it might be convenient for traveling. I guess we won’t be using it many times in a year," Tang Qing shook his head, as he hadn’t really decided where to test out the shock springs of the car yet.
"Oh," Wang Yan sounded a bit disappointed.
Seeing Wang Yan’s expression, Lin Jiaxue thought she wanted a taste of the experience and, soft-hearted, immediately said, "Wang Yan Sister, next time we go around Shanghai for fun, you can join us."
As soon as she finished speaking, she met Tang Qing’s reproachful eyes.
It was as if she remembered something again.
Lin Jiaxue’s face turned red, and she looked away, too shy to meet Tang Qing’s eyes.
"Sure!"
Wang Yan replied cheerfully.
Tang Qing rolled his eyes. Oh well, Wang Yan wouldn’t be tagging along every time—no big deal.
"Let’s go inside, dinner is ready," Tang Qing called out.
"Great, I’ve been looking forward to this."
With that,
they entered the villa.
Over dinner,
Tang Qing gained another person who was constantly thinking of coming over for free meals.
