Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 633 Making a Dyson Sphere?

Making money is really attractive.

Even if Zhao Yi is already the world's top rich man, he will not refuse to make more money to continue to improve his net worth.

In addition, it is very attractive that this is a project that can make Yixing Technology Company make money.

Zhao Yixing is very affectionate towards Yixing Technology, because Yixing Technology is a company that he really puts his energy into and hopes to do well.

He also has companies such as Xingyi Technology and Xingyi Investment under his name, but the two companies were established to serve investment and patent sharing, and they were not really operated with care.

Today, Yixing Technology is a high-end aviation R\u0026D enterprise that studies exploration technologies at the forefront of human science and technology. If a conventional enterprise wants to develop, it must achieve profitability rather than continuous investment.

If it only invests in research and development, it will not be a conventional enterprise, but a pure scientific research institution.

When they decided to establish Yixing Technology, Zhao Yi and Liu Jiankun both had the idea of ​​using aviation technology as a breakthrough to achieve corporate profits, such as providing technical services related to satellites and rocket launches, such as the subsequent manufacturing of small spacecrafts. , becoming a company focused on building functional spacecraft.

If we can develop into planet exploration in the future, we can also find breakthrough points to achieve profits in planet exploration.

What Zhao Yi never expected was that he could find a profit point so quickly, and it was an energy direction that he had never thought of.

In recent years, new energy has become the mainstream of the manufacturing industry.

The whole world is promoting new energy, which has even become a gimmick for companies, including wind power generation, electric transportation, and of course controlled nuclear fusion, etc. Many technologies have been proposed, and the one that is developing relatively quickly is electric vehicles. , many countries have set the goal of no longer producing traditional fuel-powered vehicles in a few years.

Although there are many new energy vehicle technologies on the market, and some manufacturers have rapidly achieved explosive development with new energy vehicles as the core of research and development. However, compared with traditional energy sources, new energy vehicles still have very obvious disadvantages. The most important thing is The problem is that charging takes too long.

No matter how fast battery technology develops and keeps pace with mature fuel power technology, charging still takes a long time.

Electric vehicles also have many other problems. For example, they are not strong in cold and heat resistance. Some electric vehicles may even spontaneously ignite in special environments.

etc.

it's good now.

If there is a continuous supply of solar power, functionality is no longer a problem. As long as the space connection device is turned on, there will be direct and efficient supply of light energy, and it can be continuously converted into electrical energy.

Cars manufactured in this way can have a steady stream of power without charging at all.

Of course, the premise of everything is to have an energy-gathering satellite that orbits the sun and can continuously supply energy.

This is the core.

Zhao Yi set his mind to work on the design. The energy-gathering satellite orbiting the sun was, to put it bluntly, a space linking device orbiting the sun. Its core technology was space linking technology.

After analyzing the technology of space energy transmission, the core design of the satellite is not a problem at all. The accompanying electronic systems, power devices, etc. are all easy to solve. The core problem is the material problem.

One hundred thousand kilometers away from the surface of the sun, it is also a very dangerous area. The maximum temperature can exceed one thousand degrees Celsius. At the same time, it has to withstand the influence of solar activities, high-speed radio particles, electromagnetic storms, ultra-high-intensity radiation, etc.

In this harsh environment, ordinary electronic equipment will be damaged immediately.

Therefore, energy-gathering satellites orbiting the sun must all use Z-wave compression materials on the outside, and most of the interior must also use compression materials.

In this regard, you still need to find a high-end compression material manufacturing company.

Advanced Compression Material Manufacturing Company is a newly established company under the Department of Science and Technology. The core is the original Z-wave compression material group. The purpose of its establishment is to manufacture Z-wave compression materials more efficiently and scientifically.

The current Z-wave compression materials mainly provide the latest technology research and development, and have not been directly popularized in the civilian field. Because of this, high-end compression material manufacturing companies seem to be very idle. They have also made a lot of preparations, but they are all in order to deal with the immediate situation. Arriving spacecraft manufacturing project.

After Zhao Yi completed the design, he immediately contacted the Advanced Compression Material Manufacturing Company, as well as the Space Information Technology Company and the Space Administration. He found the relevant person in charge and officials from the Science and Technology Department, and together they gathered energy around the sun. Conduct research and discussion on the manufacturing of satellites.

In fact, it is also a negotiation.

Yixing Technology Company is also a company under the Aviation Group, but it operates independently and must be responsible for its own profits and losses.

Whether it is the application of technology or the use of materials, relevant fees must be paid, and the manufacturing of satellites that surround the sun is a key project. To a certain extent, it is also to achieve profitability, and it must be normal business negotiations.

This morning, representatives from the two companies and the space agency came.

In addition, they also included officials from the Science and Technology Department, who was Minister Liu, whom Zhao Yi was familiar with.

More than an hour before the meeting started, Minister Liu found Zhao Yi and asked about the details.

Minister Liu also knows some news, which seems to be about the creation of a satellite that orbits the sun, related to space link technology. Because it involves confidentiality issues, the Science and Technology Department needs to be supervised, but what it is specifically is not clear. .

"Minister Liu, I don't know if you have heard a word."

"What."

"Dyson ball." Zhao Yi said three words calmly.

"Dyson ball?" Minister Liu opened his mouth immediately. Of course he had heard of Dyson ball.

"Dyson sphere" is a theory proposed by Freeman Dyson.

The so-called "Dyson sphere" is actually an artificial celestial body with a diameter of 200 million kilometers, which is used to surround stars and mine stellar energy.

This is a natural nuclear fusion reactor that uses stars as a power source. A "sphere" is composed of satellites orbiting the sun, completely surrounding the star and obtaining most or all of its energy output. Dyson believes that such structures are a logical necessity for civilizations that have long existed in the universe and have rising energy needs, and he recommends searching for such artificial celestial structures in order to find alien supercivilizations.

Since then, various designs, including building artificial celestial bodies or a series of such structures to surround the sun, have been proposed by some crazy engineers or science fiction novels, and are known as "Dyson spheres" .

These subsequent ideas do not stop at solar energy collection stations.

Many engineering designs also include the construction of human colonies and industrial bases.

Minister Liu has been the leader of the Science and Technology Department for a long time and has also learned about Dyson spheres. Especially with the research on controllable nuclear fusion, he has studied it carefully. Some time ago, he was thinking about whether to combine controllable nuclear fusion with Dyson spheres. Linked together, of course the result was that nothing came up.

Suddenly hearing what Zhao Yi said, he subconsciously said, "Are you planning to build a nuclear fusion device that will orbit the sun and use the sun as energy?"

"of course not."

Zhao Yi directly gave a negative answer, and then continued, "But the principle is similar. Some time ago, I developed space energy transmission technology, and I wanted to build a satellite close to the sun to transmit light energy around the sun. .”

Minister Liu nodded, "So that's the case, but what's the point? It's just light energy -" He didn't continue, as he had already expressed his meaning.

Compared with the high energy of nuclear fusion, the efficiency of light energy is really far behind.

"It's a high-end research after all!" Zhao Yi said with a smile. He didn't explain it in detail, but he still said, "I plan to start with light energy transmission technology to solve the problem of solar energy conversion power of Z-wave satellites. , maybe we can also rely on this to make the company profitable.”

"So that's it!" Minister Liu suddenly realized.

He subconsciously ignored the last sentence and focused on the previous question -

Z-wave satellite power.

Minister Liu is familiar with Z-wave satellites and knows that Yixing Technology is a company that produces spaceships. He must hope to rely on Z-wave satellites to assist in completing space shuttles.

Obviously.

The power of current Z-wave satellites cannot reach the level that allows a spacecraft to shuttle.

Minister Liu has done some research on this issue. He believes that launching energy-gathering satellites around the sun is to pave the way for space shuttles.

It was almost time for the two to talk. When they entered the conference room, they saw other people and then started negotiations.

Yixing Technology is still very professional. The main core is Zhao Yi, and there is a team of six others.

The Advanced Compressed Materials Company and the Space Information Technology Company also sent a team, and the space agency also had two representatives, one of whom is an engineering academician related to aerospace technology research and development.

Both companies are not opposed to cooperation with Yixing Technology, but their main concern is confidentiality, and they are also concerned about the profitability of the project.

Even the latest technology companies that are newly established will definitely care about income issues. The purpose of any company operation is to achieve profits.

However, the company representatives have almost the same idea as Minister Liu.

Although Zhao Yi has submitted space energy transmission technology, the cost of manufacturing a concentrated energy satellite that orbits the sun will only transmit light energy. No matter how you think about it, the cost of implementation will be very high, and it can even be said to be an astronomical figure.

If there is even a little problem in the middle, it may be all in vain.

Even if everything goes smoothly, it is absolutely impossible to recover the cost by relying on light energy transmission.

This kind of thinking is very normal.

Because the same energy can be easily produced by relying on ordinary generator sets, making ultra-high-end satellites orbiting the sun for transmission is simply not worth the gain.

So they all subconsciously ignored the fact that Zhao Yi has always emphasized that "energy transmission can achieve profits", and believed that Zhao Yi personally provided funds to develop cutting-edge technology. At the same time, it was also for Yixing Technology to manufacture small spaceships in the future and realize Space shuttle foreshadowing.

"Academician Zhao, you are so great!"

“For the development of science and technology, we even pay for it out of our own pockets!”

"Yixing Technology is a company under the Aviation Group, and the losses seem to be mainly caused by the Aviation Group, but Academician Zhao will definitely pay part of the money."

"There is definitely no problem with the direction of technological research and development, but similar projects have very low returns, so it is indeed difficult to get them approved."

Speaking of this project, it feels like launching a satellite around the moon. It is difficult to say how useful it will be by simply transmitting some energy back.

But one thing that is certain is that the amount of money consumed to manufacture satellites around the sun, whether they are exploration satellites or energy-gathering satellites, will definitely be very huge, easily reaching billions.

Taking out so much money at once would strain even Yixing Technology.

Of course.

In any case, they are only participating parties, and they only assist in completing the manufacturing, and they are only the profit-making party.

The negotiations went smoothly.

Zhao Yi introduced the manufactured energy-gathering satellite and confirmed that the design had been completed. The main reason for the negotiation was that it required the use of space transmission technology. The manufacturer was a space information technology company, and it also required the cooperation of a high-grade compression material company.

In the final meeting, several points were clarified. Yixing Technology is responsible for the design and bears all costs related to manufacturing. At the same time, it has the right to use 80% of the light energy transmitted by the energy-gathering satellite.

In addition, Yixing Technology paid a one-time payment of 800 million yuan to the two companies for the right to use space link technology and space energy transmission technology. At the same time, it was clarified that if the same energy-gathering satellite is manufactured in the future, each one will still need to pay 100 million yuan. technology patent fees.

Afterwards, Zhao Yi led his team to negotiate with the space agency. The space agency would provide incidental technology, but all related expenses incurred would be borne by Yixing Technology. At the same time, Yixing Technology would pay 500 million to the space agency as technical support costs.

End of the meeting.

Yixing Technology has signed cooperation agreements with Advanced Compression Materials Company, Space Information Technology Company and the Space Administration.

After completing the signing of a series of agreements, technology patents, design, etc. are no longer problems, and cooperative manufacturing can begin.

In fact, the manufacturing of satellites around the sun and related soft technologies are not a problem at all. The main problem is materials.

In this regard, Zhao Yi has a clear design plan. Whether it is a space information technology company or an advanced compression material company, they can cooperate in manufacturing.

The incidental technology provided by the space agency still requires more communication, but there is no big problem.

Because the main core only has space connection technology, which is equivalent to creating a space link device that can fly around the sun, which is relatively simple.

Zhao Yi estimated that the manufacturing time was only about two months, and most of the time was still spent on manufacturing compressed materials.

soon.

Co-production begins.
