Black technology starts from the steel suit

Chapter 51
"The test results are very good. Can we solve the problem of mass production as soon as possible?" Chief Ning couldn't restrain his excitement and asked impatiently.

"It is still very difficult, and there is still a long way to go from laboratory preparation to industrial production!" Wang Feng introduced: "The hydrothermal crystallization method is currently the best method for preparing this material. However, the process is extremely cumbersome, and the yield is not high, and if there is a problem in any step, all previous efforts will be wasted; and another point is that many experienced experimenters are needed, and the scrap rate for novices is very high.”

"For these 20 batteries, our laboratory mobilized 200 experienced brickworkers... Experimenters, can you accept this method?" Wang Feng said helplessly: "And this is still a laboratory preparation. If you use the same method Put it in the factory..."

"If your demand is relatively small, I can improve the process and let it be launched in the factory. Although the output is low, it is not a problem to provide hundreds of tons of negative electrode materials!"

"That is to say, if it is replaced by the weight of the battery, it will only be thousands of tons?"

"It's almost the same. We can provide a standard battery for a power suit worth about 10 yuan, which should be enough at this stage, right?"

"No, the output is still too small. Is there a solution?" Chief Ning calmed down: "Our demand here is huge, so if possible, it's better to change the way of thinking. If the money is not enough, we will Additional investment can be made, please make sure to speed up the progress!"

"It's not a question of money, and you just invested more, so you won't be able to spend that much money in a while!" Wang Feng thought for a while: "We don't have a better idea for the synthesis method. The only way is to increase the number of people. Let’s explore suitable synthetic routes together”

"At present, if we plan to produce on a large scale, the calcined crystallization method is our more optimistic idea, but although its process is simple, it has no fewer problems than the hydrothermal crystallization method. The most important thing is the control of the laser and the level of automation. High and low, this is equivalent to transferring the difficulty to the equipment."

Chief Ning: You might as well not say...

As we all know, the problem on the equipment has always been a chain that binds the dragon. Solving this problem is better than solving... Wait, laser control. If I remember correctly, they have done a good job in laser control. After all, for To solve the energy problem, they have already spent an astronomical amount of money in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, and countless projects have been hatched.

"If it is the control of the laser, we may think of a way, and then the automatic control, this may need your help..." Chief Ning said embarrassedly: "Your power suit control system, our experts have seen it They all say that they are ashamed of themselves, and I still have to rely on you in this respect!"

Wang Feng: Yes, you can do more if you can...

"Could it be?" Wang Feng asked curiously.

"In order to light up the little sun of controllable nuclear fusion, we have gone a long way on the road of laser targeting, far beyond your imagination!" Chief Ning explained.

"If this is the case, then the requirements for the light source should indeed be in place, but I have to see it in person to judge. In this case, one problem is barely solved; the other is the control problem. If the hardware conditions can be guaranteed, If so, I can try my best to spare time to complete the design of the control program, but of course you have to handle the electrical engineering design yourself!"

Lasers are the key to sintering quality, but as Director Ning said, lasers must be sufficient to meet the requirements of nuclear fusion "targeting", provided that there are no oolongs like "Hanxin", so when Wang Feng spoke There is also room for it.

Moreover, the equipment must not be stopped at the beginning of production, but the high temperature of thousands of degrees of high-temperature sintering is absolutely unbearable for people, so the low level of automation directly affects the time for continuous production; so the level of automation must meet the standard, otherwise it will be just The cost of manual intervention and the cost of starting up can make the final price of the product skyrocket, and the output is not high.

Ashamed to say, although he majored in electrical engineering, he really doesn't have much experience in this field.And the hardware is also a big pit, it is better not to touch him or not.

When it comes to the level of automation, you have to mention industrial robots. This point... is hard to say. In short, there are no high-end products, and there are no high-end products, even if they can be used. The industry is a hanging sample.

"May I ask, even if we plan to equip the entire army with tens of thousands of power suits, the demand for batteries will not be huge, right? The output of 10,000+ yuan is completely enough!" Wang Feng wondered: "Of course, If it’s a confidential project, don’t say it.”

Why, according to your tone, do you still plan to change the whole army?
As we all know, in the current situation where there is no war, it is already extraordinary to install tens of thousands of sets of this new equipment. It would not cost hundreds of billions to replace it, because it is not just a matter of one set of equipment; Supporting facilities, such as maintenance personnel, replacement of parts, battery replacement, etc., just thinking about it makes people feel dizzy.

In comparison, the difficulty of changing the equipment of the entire army is no less than that of rotating the huge five pairs of heavy-duty equipment into 99a. The money required is in the trillions and the time required is hovering between 5-10 years.

"The power suit is equipped with tens of thousands of sets first. The battery output is indeed enough, but what if the navy also has a relatively large demand for batteries?" Chief Ning said in a low voice: "Have you read the report on the launch of the Phoenix Dragon?" Yet?"

"The world's first submarine equipped with lithium batteries, I must have heard of it!" Wang Feng asked: "Should we also plan to build a diesel-electric submarine?"

"Since someone has started, of course we have to follow up quickly. After all, in the new round of shipbuilding plans, all countries have put lithium battery submarines on the agenda. This is the general trend, and we can only keep up with the trend."

"That's right. In this way, the output of new materials must at least be doubled. Otherwise, it will really be impossible to keep up..." Wang Feng said to himself: Judging from the speed at which countries launch water, Huaguo should be the same every year. To launch about 3 ships, based on the displacement of [-] tons, the battery required is about [-] tons.

"Hey hey, look at what you said, how can we use twice as much? I think it needs to be increased by at least ten times!" Chief Ning showed a pair of big dies, very much like the rabbit from before.
