Galaxy Technology Empire

Chapter 69 X-Ray Base

The Spring Festival has just passed.

February 18th.

Shanmei's hotels were suddenly full, especially the Paris Hotel, Tiancheng Hotel, and the Miramar Hotel under the Planet Infrastructure Construction Company.

They were all crowded with companies bidding for large-scale X-ray laser projects.

Representatives or CEOs of hundreds of related companies came to Shanmei to participate in the bidding meeting.

Of course, many media outlets that get first-hand news also send people here.

The bidding was initially completed in one morning, and the next step was the review by Galaxy Technology.

Huang Haojie also treats these bidding companies equally, whether they are state-owned enterprises or private enterprises.

However, five companies have already been confirmed, because there are no competitors for the parts that these five companies are bidding for.

During the next review, Huang Haojie did not directly choose the one with the lowest price. After all, a low quotation meant that the technology may not be good, or corners were cut.

It took more than a week for Huang Haojie and researchers from the X-ray Laser Laboratory of Galaxy Technology to finally identify 32 winning bidders.

"Lao Li, these are the list of winning bidders. You go and notify them."

Li Jianhua quickly took over the list and went to arrange the notification matters.

Huang Junjie turned his chair.

Staring at the map of Shanmei, he finally decided to build a large X-ray laser base in Luhe County.

After all, the mountainous terrain of Luhe County can isolate X-rays from outward radiation to a certain extent. At the same time, the population here is relatively small, making it easier to move out.

Of course, we can also build it in the northwest region. The problem is that Galaxy Technology there really has no foundation, and electricity consumption is also a huge problem.

Tens of billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity are consumed every year. If we don’t generate our own electricity, the electricity bill will be high.

The cost is already very high, and the electricity bill makes it even higher.

Huang Haojie previously calculated the cost of iron-silver superconductors based on the cost of Galaxy Technology's own power generation. If it were based on the Dongtang Power Grid's electricity rates, the cost would have doubled.

Therefore, only by building your own wind power station can you effectively reduce production costs.

Of course, mountains can only isolate radiation to a certain extent, but other radiation protection facilities are essential.

After all, the damage caused by ionizing radiation to the human body is very extensive and difficult to predict.

The impact of radiation on the body has various clinical reactions due to the influence of various factors.

When the damage caused by rays to the human body appears on the irradiated person, it is called the somatic (body) effect. If it affects the offspring of the exposed person, it is called a genetic effect.

Long-term exposure to X-rays can cause many harms to the human body, such as autonomic nervous system disorders, low hematopoietic function, lens turbidity, sperm production disorders, and even tumors.

Damaged cells, tissues, and organs can also cause secondary damage to the body, causing the body to produce a series of biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, functional disorders, and pathological changes. Severe damage can lead to death.

Clinical symptoms that may be caused by X-ray radiation include fatigue, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sleep disorders, memory loss, sweating, palpitations, etc.; followed by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and distension; a few people have toothache, and gums bleed easily, but there is no obvious Bleeding spots and ecchymoses on the skin; some people are prone to colds, low back pain, joint pain, etc.

Similarly, X-ray radiation can have serious effects on the fetus. The harmful effects in the fetus can be divided into lethal effects, teratogenic effects, severe mental retardation and carcinogenesis.

Obviously the dangers of X-rays are no joke, these are still small doses of X-ray radiation.

The large-scale X-ray laser to be built by Galaxy Technology is a high-power X-ray. This radiation hazard is even more terrifying. If protective measures are not taken, I am afraid that no one will be willing to work at the X-ray base.

Therefore, the three companies responsible for the construction of protective measures that won the bid this time were all the companies with the highest price.

This protective measure alone has increased the original planned 6 billion yuan project by 700 million yuan.

After all, X-rays are high-energy rays with amazing penetrating power. Even the blocking effect of lead blocks is not particularly good.

A lot of composite materials must be used to build the isolation layer. After discussing with laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie decided to build three layers of isolation layers, namely a radiation-proof special reinforced concrete layer, a lead alloy layer, and a composite material radiation-proof layer.

Once the X-ray is activated, no one can exist within a radius of two kilometers in the core area.

Of course, to do this, Galaxy Technology must use large-scale automation equipment and industrial robots for remote control.

Even if you go in for inspection or maintenance, it must be done when the X-ray laser stops working.

As for the staff who enter, those special protective suits cost more than 200,000 yuan.

But Huang Haojie still bought it. After all, if he didn't buy it now, it would be more troublesome in the future. If the staff were exposed to radiation hazards and contracted diseases such as cancer, it would have a bad image for Galaxy Technology.

There is a bottom line in being a human being, and you cannot save this kind of money.

Obviously, the investment in this large-scale X-ray laser project has exceeded Huang Haojie's previous budget.

He made a preliminary estimate and found that the total amount reached 7.8 billion yuan.

In addition, low-temperature refrigeration equipment, high-pressure pressurization equipment, and special magnetic field control equipment are also needed.

Together with other miscellaneous items, the total investment is expected to reach about 13.5 billion yuan.

If Dongtang Power Grid hadn't just placed an order of 23.75 billion yuan, he really wouldn't dare to play like this.

These scientific research projects are really burning money, not 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, but 100 million yuan.

If this project is completed, once the large-scale X-ray laser is started, it will consume 5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per hour and 120 million kilowatt hours per day.

Thinking about it can make people's scalp numb. This is really not something that ordinary companies can afford.

Another issue is the spare parts of the laser. After discussing with the laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie felt that if the laser is operated for a long time, the laser head and other components of the laser will age very quickly, which is another huge expense.

He is making plans.

Beep...suddenly the phone rang.

"Hey! Zhiqiang!"

"Boss, I have found out what happened to Zhai Shaojun and Huang Zefu. I made an oversight this time. I'm very sorry!"

Listening to Wang Zhiqiang's frightened words, Huang Haojie said calmly:

"Be more careful in the future and deal with those two in accordance with the company's regulations!"

"Yes! I have already fired two of them, and I have also fired several other people they brought with them."

"Well! I believe you can handle it. If you don't have anything else to do, just go and get busy!"

"Boss, thank you very much for your trust."

"Um!"

Hearing Wang Zhiqiang's grateful voice, Huang Junjie hung up the phone. Whether it was false feelings or true feelings, what he needed was Wang Zhiqiang's attitude.

Obviously Wang Zhiqiang's handling attitude made him quite satisfied. If Wang Zhiqiang had come to plead for mercy just now, then Huang Haojie would never let him continue to be the president of Orion Company.

"Brother Jie, your coffee!" The little secretary handed a cup of instant coffee to his desk.

Although Huang Junjie already has tens of billions of dollars in assets, he still can't change his past habits.

He still likes to drink instant coffee. After taking a sip of instant coffee with just the right temperature, Huang Junjie looked at the booking status of Pengpai Elegant.

I found that the booking situation of The Paper is quite optimistic.

As of February 23, a total of 3,187 Pampers electric vehicles had been ordered across the country, with the Lingnan region having the largest number of orders, reaching 974 vehicles.

It may be related to the fact that Galaxy Technology is a Lingnan company, or it may be related to the relatively complete coverage of charging stations in Lingnan.
