Chapter 52 Preparing for the production of astronomical telescopes

For these three astronomical telescopes, Zhang Yi plans to launch all of them for mass production.

The first type is the refracting type. There are many manufacturers of this type of telescope, but Zhang Yi noticed that the aperture of this type of telescope is generally not large, basically below 100 mm, even if there are more than 100 mm. Many, and the focal length generally rarely exceeds 1000 mm.

对于这种望远镜张毅准备生产五种口径型号，即50、70、90、110、150毫米，每种口径的望远镜又分成三个焦距型号，即350、600、900毫米。

The reflection type is just the opposite, that is, there is basically no reflection type with a diameter smaller than 100 mm, of course it is not without it, but there are not many.

Reflective Zhang Yi plans to produce three models, namely 120, 150, and 203 mm.

After all, for ordinary astronomy enthusiasts, an astronomical telescope with an aperture of 203 mm is enough. If someone needs a larger one, then they need to come to their factory for special customization.

The last is the catadioptric type, which is also ready to produce the same model as the reflective type.

So after the equipment ordered by Zhang Yi arrived, Zhang Yi asked Xiaohua and the others to modify the equipment.

At the same time, he also began to purchase raw materials for making this special optical glass. Like ordinary glass, the main raw material for this glass is quartz sand. Naturally, these materials are very easy to purchase. The key is to have money. Money, then as much as you want.

He is most concerned about some rare metals used in the production of this glass, but fortunately, the special glass developed by Jia Qing does not contain strategic elements, so he still found a supplier on the Internet business, but the price is naturally expensive.

In the following month, Zhang Yi, Xiao Hua and others have been busy modifying the glass production equipment. Although the glass production equipment has finished products in front of them, they want to change it into a special glass production equipment. , that is not an easy task.

In fact, the difficulty is no less than that of redesigning it yourself. You must know that it took Jia Qing, Xiao Hua and the others to build the production line of aerodynamic bicycles in less than a month.

However, it took them a full month to make this glass production equipment, but until now, it has not been successfully transformed. One can imagine the difficulty.

Even Zhang Yi, in order to speed up the transformation of the production line, he hired fifteen Xueba Xueba in the Xueba Employment System during this period of time to renovate and upgrade this equipment together.

It wasn't until the middle of the second month that Zhang Yi and the others finally completed the modification of this set of glass production equipment, making it capable of producing the special glass developed by Jia Qing, and also satisfied Zhang Yi's proposal. requirements.

Unfortunately, since this equipment itself is a small-scale glass production equipment, it can theoretically produce lenses with a diameter of up to two meters after the transformation, but this is only in theory.

In fact, it is thankful to be able to reach a diameter of 1900 mm. You must know that the diameter of Hubble is only 2.4 meters, so Zhang Yi is already satisfied with this diameter. After all, his current equipment is just a small glass production. Equipment only.

In addition, the thickest lens can also produce 150 mm thick, of course, these are only in theory, in fact, no one knows whether this device can achieve the level they want.

Looking at the equipment in front of them, all the people who participated in the development were very excited. If the equipment can be successfully operated and meet their expected requirements, then there is no doubt that this equipment will be the most advanced large-caliber Lens manufacturing equipment also belongs to the absolutely advanced ranks in the world.

It should be known that all large-aperture lenses in the world are basically artificially ground, and there is no equipment that can directly manufacture large-aperture astronomical telescope lenses.

Grinding large-aperture lenses is very demanding on precision, especially for the main lens of large-aperture astronomical telescopes, such as vertical, horizontal, and string grinding, and it can also be divided into coarse grinding, fine grinding, and polishing.It took a lot of time and energy. Hubble's mirror was ground off by one millionth of a meter when it was processed, and the resulting image quality was far from the sky.

Because the reflective mirror surface of Niufan must be parabolic, the small-diameter lens can be approximated by a circular mirror, and the error is acceptable, and the large-diameter lens must be processed into a parabola, so it is not easy to polish. ,

"It's finally finished. I'll treat you tonight." After the equipment was completed, Zhang Yi first looked outside and found that the sky outside had already darkened. I haven't had dinner yet, so Zhang Yi happily said to those who participated in the transformation.

"Thank you boss!" After listening to Zhang Yi's words, everyone said happily.

Although all the people who participated in the transformation of the production line were hired by Zhang Yi in the system, and all food and lodging were counted as his, but the usual expenses were still their own.

The source of the money is naturally that they exchanged it from the system, and the system deducted a part of the handling fee, so they were naturally very happy to hear that Zhang Yi wanted to invite them to eat out.

Although the food in the factory is usually not bad, it is naturally not comparable to the restaurants outside.In fact, after these people just came to this universe, their first impression of Zhang Yi's human civilization was that the food here was very delicious, and they were all full of praise.

Even the Red Alert humans are the same. Although the military technology of the Red Alert Universe is very advanced, it is far inferior to the humans in this world, especially the Dahua Empire, in terms of food.

After eating with these bullies, Zhang Yi returned home, chatted with Zhang Yingying on the chat software of his mobile phone for a while, and fell asleep at some point. During this period of time, he was exhausted from transforming the production line. Basically, after coming back every day, there is no such thing as insomnia and so on.

Zhang Yi woke up early the next morning, and after rushing to eat breakfast, he immediately drove his car towards the factory, but before he could drive to the gate of the factory, his phone rang.
Zhang Yi picked up his cell phone and found that it was Zhang Yingying who was calling, so he immediately parked the car on the side of the road, and then answered the call.

"Yingying! What's the matter with calling so early?" Zhang Yi said.

It's only past six o'clock, and it's still early for many people. Of course, this includes him in the past, but since the glass equipment was refitted, he basically got up around six o'clock.

"Zhang Yi! That's it. Next weekend is my birthday. I want to invite you to attend. I wonder if you have time!" Zhang Yingying's voice rang through the phone.

During this period of time, Zhang Yi and Zhang Yingying met in reality twice, but they only met when they went to Zhoutai City for business, and each time they came and went in a hurry.

Basically, he came back after having a meal, but they would chat for a while every night in the chat software of the mobile phone, so the relationship between the two of them became ambiguous, this time it was Zhang Yingying It was the first time to invite him, and it was Zhang Yingying's birthday party.

So he said, "Okay! It's your birthday, Yingying. Of course I want to come. Even if I don't have time, I still have to make it."
