Chapter 136 New Energy Development
Link sent the ring and roses into space that night and then returned immediately without lingering, as he still needed to discuss the guest list with Jessica.
Actually, there aren't many, since Link has very few friends, and among his former classmates, there are almost no people worth inviting.
Most of them are now Avengers, plus Wilson and Vanessa, and Jessica's invites are not many, such as Tracy and her adoptive mother, McCall, Frank, plus lawyers Matthew Murdoch and Virgil Nelson.
The rest of the people can simply be treated to a meal; there's no need to invite them to the space headquarters.
After calculating and finalizing the number of people, Jessica said, "Should I invite my adoptive mother?"
"If I invite her, I reckon she'll be inviting me more often in the future."
Link was taken aback, then remembered that Jessica's adoptive mother, Dorothy Walker, had adopted Jessica to give Tracy a companion.
However, this person is indeed greedy. Sending teenage Tracy to the director's room is something a mother would do.
So now, neither Tracy nor Jessica really wants to see her, but Jessica is getting married now, so whether or not to invite her is a question.
Link asked, "Do you want to invite her?"
"I don't know!" Jessica shook her head and said, "I'm not quite sure what I'm thinking, but there's bound to be a lot of trouble after I invite them."
"What trouble?" Link laughed. "What's wrong with giving her a million a month?"
"Is it that we can't afford it, or that she doesn't have enough?"
"Jessica, problems that can be solved with money are not problems for us. We're getting married, and my assets will belong to both of us."
Jessica quickly shook her head and said, "We can't give her that much. You don't know her. One hundred thousand a month is enough."
One hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money, enough for Rosie Walker to live a wealthy life.
Link is not one to treat money like money. The Osborn Group now makes huge profits from the sale of pharmaceuticals alone. Although it follows the path of low profit and high volume, it has quickly occupied the global market and seized the largest share.
Other pharmaceutical groups cannot compete with it, not even in countries where generic drugs are rampant, because they are cheap.
It's not more expensive than prevention, and it's a drug they developed themselves, which they dumped all over the world, creating a situation that no one could stop.
Next is the controlled nuclear fusion power generation project, which has already reached a cooperation agreement with New York City. This does not conflict with Stark Industries, as their electromagnetic arc reactor is not intended for large-scale power generation but is suitable for small-scale use.
Controlled nuclear fusion is suitable for large-scale power generation, and the two follow two different paths.
New York City has built three controlled nuclear fusion power plants in one go at selected locations to provide electricity for the entire city.
In this way, a great deal of resources can be saved, not even counting the annual influx of people in this large city with nearly ten million inhabitants.
The establishment of three controlled nuclear fusion power plants could provide power to the entire state of New York. The Osborne Group funded the acquisition of the power company responsible for New York.
The United States has more than 3,200 power companies, which are roughly divided into five power grids. New York belongs to the Eastern Power Grid.
Most of its power companies are located in the eastern region, and there is no unified management, so the distribution and transmission of electricity are problematic.
The Osborn Group's mastery of controlled nuclear fusion technology caused a sensation across the United States, leading to a sharp drop in the prices of energy industries such as oil and coal. However, it will take time for them to gain market share.
It's not that no one has had ulterior motives, but Link is a member of the Avengers, and the Avengers now possess spaceships and have established a space headquarters, which is truly daunting.
This is a force that even a nation cannot contend with. As capitalists, no matter how crazy they are, they dare not act rashly.
Adding to Link's previous reputation in the underworld, the title of Grim Reaper was not earned casually; it was earned through his achievements.
Now that Link has a nanotech suit, ordinary bullets can't harm him at all.
With the addition of other Avengers, the Avengers are now even stronger, and their technological capabilities are so advanced that no one dares to cross the line.
During this period, the Osborne Group acquired several power companies and merged them into a new energy power company.
The company plans to integrate its power grid and transform its power plants into controlled nuclear fusion power plants. After integrating the power grid, it will gradually expand outwards.
Norman Osborn's ambition was to devour all the power companies. However, with such a strategy, the other power companies were not fools. They came knocking one after another. They would not wait until they were desperate to surrender, but wanted to get involved and get a share of the pie.
However, Norman Osborne wasn't stupid; Osborne was different now than he had been in the past—he had no debts.
Because the profit margin of pharmaceuticals is continuous and stable, even though it's a low-profit, high-volume business, the sales volume is really high. After all, people get sick, which is something that can't be stopped, and a steady stream of revenue comes from this.
At the same time, there isn't much investment. For now, there are only three directions: medicine, weapons, and new energy. As for weapons, one aspect is contract manufacturing, and the other is manufacturing components for the Yan fighter jet and space capsule.
However, after discussing it with Osborn, Link decided not to set up charging stations for the time being. The development of new energy vehicles is a trend, but it will offend energy capital.
Controlled nuclear fusion for power generation actually has little impact on oil but a greater impact on coal. This would split the old energy capital in two, thus reducing the pressure.
The power grid can be set up now. Once the power grid is unified across the country, the Osborne Group will have nothing to fear.
Link also conducted research and development on ultra-high voltage power transmission technology. However, the United States uses 110V voltage, which requires conversion at the end of the transmission line. This is something that cannot be changed because their household appliances are all 110V.
The construction of power plants requires extra reinforcement. Although controlled nuclear fusion is the least dangerous, the problem of external damage still needs to be considered.
It can be constructed as a robust core consisting of an outer shell, a middle shell, and an inner shell, capable of withstanding a nuclear attack.
Three emergency termination measures were also set up to allow for customized fusion reactions to achieve absolute safety. Osborn was even invited to give a talk show called "Tracy Talk" to explain these safety measures.
The Avengers' space headquarters also uses controlled nuclear fusion, so everyone can rest assured.
