Chapter 90: Hands-off Store Manager

His identity was the person in charge of the overseas investment company in the country. As for the overseas investment company, it was set up by Wu Hao through acquisitions and injecting funds, essentially just a figurehead.

The reason why Wu Hao did this was to facilitate various procedures and operations for the factory in the future. After all, having the identity of a foreign investor could at least eliminate many unnecessary troubles.

Moreover, if the factory developed well in the future, this identity could be used to better safeguard the interests of the factory itself. Just like many large companies in the country, they establish offshore companies overseas to evade high taxes and certain policies.

Furthermore, in various parts of the country, government officials pay particular attention to foreign investment. This can be considered a normal phenomenon in the country.

A few days later, after delegating the construction of the factory to Hong Lei and taking care of some matters at home, Wu Hao returned to the base located deep in the Qinling Mountains.

The first thing Wu Hao did upon returning to the base was to once again take on the role of a transporter. He would order raw materials online and secretly transport them to the base during the night.

Although the base could already produce various components, it couldn't produce raw materials on its own and had to purchase them from the outside. Among these raw materials, the majority were not voluminous, but the heaviest and most needed ones were various types of metal materials.

These metal materials were not large in volume, but they were heavy. When Wu Hao made a round trip transporting several tons of metal materials, it might only be enough to manufacture a component for a device in the end.

After Wu Hao transported these metal materials he purchased from outside back to the base, many of them couldn't be directly processed. They needed to go through a process of being melted down and refined to remove impurities and improve the quality of the steel.

It's not that Wu Hao didn't want to purchase high-quality metal materials directly from the outside. The best metal materials in the country are currently controlled by the national defense industry, particularly the so-called specialty steels.

These things aren't something that can be easily purchased within the country, especially considering the military-grade alloys. Wu Hao might not even be interested in them at the moment.

After constructing the nuclear fusion reactor, Wu Hao utilized the technology of the fusion reactor's arc magnetic field to create a new type of arc metal refining furnace. Using the high temperature and pressure generated by electrical energy and electromagnetic fields, impurities are removed and the metals are purified. Then, according to the new alloy composition, some other metals are added. Finally, using Wu Hao's newly manufactured 3D metal printing device, the required components are directly printed.

The alloys Wu Hao has currently produced are comparable in strength and hardness to the highest-level alloys internationally. So now, Wu Hao only needs to purchase some refined steel from steel mills and some other additive metals from the outside.

However, the only trouble that bothers Wu Hao is not the purchase of these metals or their prices, but rather the cumbersome transportation. Every time, he has to act as a transporter during the night.

"It seems that in the future, the raw materials used in the base must be self-sufficient to a certain extent," Wu Hao murmured to himself after finishing the transportation work that evening.

Of course, although Wu Hao has this idea, implementing it specifically is not an easy task. From mining ores to preliminary smelting, these metal materials require a complex process. Unless Wu Hao designs and manufactures equipment capable of automated resource extraction in the future, it will be challenging.

Moreover, the most important point is that Wu Hao must carry out this task underground. Although the Qinling Mountains have abundant mineral resources, including iron ore and other metal veins, they are not gold mines.

However, the majority of these unexploited veins are deep within the Qinling Mountains. As for the veins in the peripheral areas, they have already been extensively developed by the country.

Wu Hao doesn't want to haphazardly exploit the veins in the deep parts of the Qinling Mountains, considering the serious impact it would have on the surrounding terrain and environment.

However, about 1,000 meters below the slope of the mountain range where Wu Hao's base is located, there is a good-quality underground iron ore vein. Although the reserves are not too large, it is more than sufficient to meet the needs of the base.

Moreover, the most important aspect is that this vein is close to the base. While mining the vein, the depleted sections can be reinforced and developed into a dedicated area for extracting raw materials.

Anyway, Wu Hao's base will definitely undergo expansion in the future as it develops. It's not impossible for his base to become a massive underground fortress.

This time, Wu Hao stayed at the base for almost a month continuously. During this month, he mainly maintained communication with the outside world through phone calls.

To justify his busy work at the base to the outside world, Wu Hao simply explained that he was engaged in investment work outside, specifically in the financial industry.

Anyway, Wu Hao had already used the excuse of being his source of income before. In reality, during this month, in his spare time, Wu Hao actually conducted a series of stock and futures trading through the companies he had previously acquired. These trades were based on his analysis of current data.

Although the final profits were not substantial, they did add some amount to his account. Considering that he didn't spend much money, especially now that his base could already produce various small and large parts and finished equipment at reasonable prices.

The expenses mainly revolved around purchasing raw materials, which, apart from a few rare materials that were relatively expensive, were generally cheap.

Ending the research at the base this time served two purposes. First, because the base was already capable of meeting Wu Hao's remote command needs. Second, because the series of documentaries he filmed in the Qinling Mountains was about to finish airing.

A few days ago, Wu Hao received emails from several media outlets that were granted the rights to the documentary. Naturally, they inquired about when Wu Hao would release the next series.

The documentaries Wu Hao had filmed could be considered among the top in the world when it came to nature documentaries. It wasn't that the animal videos he filmed were particularly rare or unique, but rather because the lenses and perspectives he used in his documentaries surpassed the standards previously achieved in nature documentaries.
