The three people briefly talked about some things, and after getting satisfactory answers, they left the Marching Ant Company.
The news of the casualties from the earthquake in the island country has attracted the attention of the world.
One reason is that the earthquake was so large that it had to attract global attention. The Fukushima nuclear accident became more serious and made people fearful. Another reason is that before the super earthquake arrives, the Army Ant Company has already given predictions, but the casualties are still surprisingly large, which is somewhat unreasonable.
Ordinary people are concerned about earthquake disasters, but governments in various countries are concerned about army ant companies. Earthquake prediction may be a coincidence once, but not a coincidence the second time.
Natural disasters cannot be controlled. What they can do is try to reduce casualties in disasters. Now that seismometers are out, it is undoubtedly a great news for earthquake-prone countries.
"The ambassador of the island country has contacted us." Xiaoyu walked into Chen Mo's laboratory and said softly: "They want to know about the seismograph. Sister Zhao has not made up her mind. Let me come up and ask what you mean."
Chen Mo put the synthesized silicon carbon into the bottle and stopped what he was doing.
"We haven't returned the seismograph we salvaged. You still want to buy a seismometer? Leave them alone without giving them a reply. Wait for them to understand, send the seismometer back obediently, compensate us for the loss, and then talk about the seismograph. Otherwise, No need to talk." Chen Mo said without thinking.
When I salvaged the seismograph, I also wanted to trick the Army Ant Company. He holds a grudge. The island country hates him, and now it's his turn to go back.
He would never let go of such a good opportunity.
"Okay." Xiaoyu said.
In the past two days, ambassadors from many countries have contacted Army Ant Company.
The seismograph business, as Zhao Min said, is not about working with individuals or companies. Their partners are countries.
In countries where earthquake disasters occur frequently, the losses caused by earthquakes are in the hundreds of millions every year. One-tenth of these losses would be enough to install seismometers in every corner of the country.
Therefore, as long as the seismometer is mass-produced, he has no worries about no one buying it.
In addition to the need to deploy an earthquake early warning network in China, there is another country that has shown strong purchase intentions, namely New Zealand in the South Pacific.
New Zealand is one of the countries most eager to get a seismometer.
In recent years, the number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes has increased significantly around the world. Experts predict that the earth will undergo major changes in the next few years, and it will be a year prone to earthquakes.
Scientists have discovered that the Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand's largest fault, has been awakened from its slumber by the earthquake the year before. Experts predict that if three faults in New Zealand become active, New Zealand will have a devastating earthquake. The most terrifying thing is the tsunami that the earthquake may trigger.
So after Army Ant Company confirmed that it could predict earthquakes, New Zealand couldn't wait to send people over to discuss seismometers with Army Ant Company.
In addition to New Zealand, several other countries have also contacted them, but the price is too high and they are still hesitant. Chen Mo is not in a hurry. The output is not large now. Domestic networking will be provided first. If the island country wants to buy it, it depends on his mood.
After Xiaoyu left, Chen Mo continued to focus on the experimental equipment.
During this period of time, I continued to experiment and finally synthesized some room-temperature superconducting materials. However, in terms of purity, it still falls short of the requirements. It is no problem to make these materials into ordinary conductors, but if you want to make superconducting chips, you need to purify the ultra-temperature superconducting materials.
In order to save costs and achieve mass production, the purity of the material must meet the requirements during the first synthesis process.
Island country embassy.
Inada Jinnan's face was very ugly. He did not expect to contact someone from the Marching Ant Company, but was directly rejected by the other party. After all, he was also an ambassador to China, and he was very upset that he was rejected like this.
The Army Ant Company didn't even say the reason for rejecting him, which made him even more upset.
The earthquake and tsunami have just passed, and the country is busy with disaster relief. But now in China, aftershocks continue, making people worry about when the next major earthquake will come.
After experiencing this disaster, the country is now in urgent need of seismograph technology. If this technology is available to predict the arrival of the next earthquake, those voters will definitely support their current party to be elected as the prime minister of the next government.
The order given to him now is that he hopes to obtain the seismograph technology. If not, he can buy a seismometer and go back.
The Army Ant Company has been able to predict earthquakes. If they cannot predict the next big disaster before it comes, this is the government's inaction, and they will be in endless trouble by then. They are more likely to be attacked by the opposition parties and forced to resign.
As far as he knew, New Zealand, Chile, Indonesia and other countries with frequent earthquake disasters had begun to contact the Army Ant Company and received certain information.
But when he came to contact him, he was rejected, leaving him suffocated and unable to get out.
Now that Army Ant Company has seismograph technology, it is unlikely to obtain these technologies through abnormal means.
The Army Ant Company has already attracted the attention of the Chinese high-level officials. If one of their people is caught like last time and angers the Army Ant Company, not even a single part of the seismograph can be obtained.
"Inada-kun, could it be that the Army Ant Company ignored us because of the last seismograph incident? The seismometer we picked up was not returned to the Army Ant Company." said Yokoi Mi next to him.
He is the counselor of the embassy and is responsible for assisting the embassy in its work. This time, the superiors asked them to get the seismograph, and he also wanted to assist. If this thing is completed, he will also get a share of the credit.
Inada Jinnan patted his head and suddenly realized.
The last time the Army Ant Company's seismometer was fished out, they ignored the Army Ant Company and even refused visas for Army Ant Company staff to travel to the island country.
I originally thought that the Army Ant Company would make a fuss over this incident, but in the end, the Army Ant Company just gave a mild response. The Army Ant Company must be very unhappy with them over this matter.
"What did you do?" Inada Jinnan looked at Yokoi Yu: "What happened last time has already offended the Sin Army Ant Company."
"The best way is to return the seismometer to the Army Ant Company." Yokoi said.
"Wouldn't this be too embarrassing?" Inada Jinnan thought for a while and said.
If a government compromises with a company, it will lose face.
"Let's not make too much noise. The media's attention is now on the earthquake. As long as the noise is not too big, we won't be noticed."
Inada Jinnan nodded thoughtfully and picked up the phone: "I'll contact the country."
Now the island country government is under great pressure. After hearing Inada Jinnan's request, he immediately agreed. The core circuit boards and chips of the seismometer they fished out had been burned, and no useful technology was obtained.
Now the government of the island country is in a lot of trouble, so it can only try its best to import seismometers to appease the emotions of the people. The damaged seismograph was of little value to them, and all the research had been done.
