Genius of the Rules-Style System

The patent fees paid by Yixing Technology are not low. Compared with large international companies, patent fees of more than one billion are nothing.

However, Yixing Technology has not yet developed into a large international company. It initially raised only tens of billions of funds. The expenditure on patents and technology of more than one billion in one go is definitely a very big deal.

Of course, compared to future earnings, it's nothing.

If Yixing Technology is a listed company and discloses its manufacturing of energy-gathering satellites around the sun and space energy transmission technology, the company's market value will definitely soar.

In today's international market, a technological concept can attract tens of billions or hundreds of billions of funds, let alone one that can actually produce high-tech products.

Even if it is not a listed company, its valuation will increase significantly after the news is made public.

Of course.

Now is not a good time to go public.

After returning to rationality, the company's development must still be based on profitability.

After Yixing Technology completed technical negotiations and actually started manufacturing energy-gathering satellites, it still announced a piece of news--

Yixing Technology Company has reached patent technology cooperation with advanced compression materials, space science and technology information and the space agency, and paid 1.3 billion in technology patent fees.

This is a disclosure of financial information.

This news did not attract public attention. The most important reason is that Yixing Technology Company was established only a short time ago and has not been listed on the market. Its global influence is not great.

In addition, people who know Yixing Technology also know that the company is engaged in aviation-related research and development, and it is normal to invest heavily in the early stage.

However, the industry is different.

When Yixing Technology was first established, it raised more than 10 billion yuan, which sounds very huge, but it is only 10 billion yuan. Since its establishment, the patent technology fees alone have exceeded 2 billion yuan, accounting for The company was founded with 20% of the capital raised.

This ratio is still too high. If it is actually invested in the manufacturing of spacecraft in the future, it will definitely involve a lot of patents, and the patent fees will rise to an astronomical figure.

Many investors in Yixing Technology have begun to worry about the company's profitability.

Yixing Technology claims to be a normal enterprise, but it is also labeled as an aviation group. What if it just keeps doing research and development, only inputs but no output, and has no profitability in the future?

Many investors are indeed worried.

The main investor of Yixing Technology is the Aviation Group. Other investors include Zhao Yi, Liu Jiankun, and top domestic manufacturing companies, as well as some top wealthy people. They value long-term interests and certainly don't care about short-term large investments.

But at the same time, there are still some small wealthy people who have also invested a certain proportion.

These people still value investment returns, but they have become the group of people who pay the most attention to Yixing Technology's investment and research and development.

After careful research, they did not worry about future income, but were somewhat looking forward to it, because the large expenditures on patented technologies were for science and technology information companies, advanced compression material companies, and space agencies. It can be understood that all of them were contributed to The latest technology and space exploration.

This funding announcement news can be understood to some extent as manufacturing certain high-tech products, which directly generates large amounts of patent and technology fees.

"What was made?"

"space ship!"

The original goal of Yixing Technology was to manufacture small spacecraft.

The current patented technology expenditure objects corroborate the manufacturing of spacecraft, but they are looking forward to it, hoping to hear other news in the future.

If a small spacecraft can truly be manufactured, even if no profit is seen for the time being, the company's valuation will be greatly improved. Investments always focus on future potential, especially in the context of the spacecraft project being established and becoming the most important international project. If a suitable small spacecraft can be produced, the future potential will be huge.

Manufacturing of concentrated energy satellites has begun.

In fact, during the manufacturing process, Yixing Technology only plays a supervisory role, which is almost equivalent to providing technology and design and waiting for the partner company to produce corresponding products.

Zhao Yi is relatively free, but he still has a lot of things to do.

The first step is to design the ‘light energy receiving device’.

Zhao Yi has no plans to directly design high-power Z-wave satellites. Energy-gathering satellites have already begun to be manufactured. The design of high-power Z-wave satellites requires a lot of money and energy, as well as other technical support.

This process will definitely require a lot of capital.

Money is the most important thing.

Zhao Yi's idea is to make the company profitable first. After making high profits, it will become easy to do any research and development.

This is mainly because there is no direct profit point in exploring Mars.

If you just continue to do high-tech research and development, you will need a steady stream of capital investment. Even if it is favored by the international community, the funds must be paid by someone. If you add a large amount of investment, he personally has no problem. Aviation groups and other investors , there is a high probability that they will have opinions.

Therefore, it is important to achieve high profits first. After high profits are achieved, investing in research and development will no longer be a problem.

After the energy-gathering satellite is manufactured, it can be launched immediately, and it will not take two or three months to orbit the sun and operate normally.

Energy cannot be wasted and time is money.

Zhao Yi began to design the receiving end equipment. To put it bluntly, it is a space link device combined with a solar panel in an enclosed space.

His research mainly focuses on receiving devices that can be used in automobiles.

Civilian cars don't need to be driven with too much power. Thirty kilowatts is enough.

The internal space link equipment of the car's receiving end device is very simple. The core is just an arrangement of micro-beams. The entire space link equipment is about the size of a laptop.

The core of the receiving device lies in the solar panel in the internal closed space. The design of the solar panel is directly related to the energy conversion power.

No matter how strong the received light energy is, it still needs to be converted into electrical energy by means of battery panels, and the conversion efficiency is directly related to energy consumption.

Because it is supplied to cars, if the conversion efficiency can be improved by 10%, it means that the energy demand can be reduced by 10%, and 20% or even more cars can be produced. The number of cars produced is directly It’s about profit.

The main space occupied by the energy receiving device is the solar panel in a closed space. The structure of the car determines that the energy power device is best placed on the chassis or above the car. The smaller the area occupied, the better.

Ordinary solar panels are single-sided designs and only need to deal with one side of the sun. Different panels in the energy receiving device do not need to place panels inside at all. Instead, the panel material modules are directly embedded in the enclosed space. inner wall.

The light energy transmitted by space energy, no matter which direction it is transmitted, will definitely collide with the inner wall, and will still be reflected on the inner wall.

Such a simple and direct design can greatly increase the conversion rate.

The main material of conventional solar panels is monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon. Monocrystalline silicon in the civilian field is slightly more expensive than polycrystalline silicon.

The power conversion rate of solar panels made of polycrystalline silicon is relatively low, but because it is a closed space, the reflected light will still shine on the solar panel again, which will greatly increase the electrical energy conversion rate.

Of course.

It is better to use single crystal silicon material.

Zhao Yi estimates that the conversion rate of ordinary civilian monocrystalline silicon solar panels embedded in a closed space on the inner wall will exceed 50%.

This data is still a bit low. The main considerations are two points -

One is temperature and the other is device size limitations.

When solar energy is converted in a closed space, the unconverted part will turn into heat. A large amount of heat accumulation will definitely turn the receiving device into a stove, and conventional cooling methods may not be effective.

To solve this problem, the direct method is to increase the electrical energy conversion power.

"If the world's highest-tech solar cells are used, the conversion rate can be increased by ten percentage points."

"Device size——"

“There are still many shortcomings in the design!”

Zhao Yi looked at the graphics on the manuscript paper and frowned as he thought.

There is no problem in the design of embedding battery panels into the inner wall of a closed space, but the power conversion of the battery panels is a big problem.

Normally, to maximize the contact area between silicon material and light, the internal space of the device must be filled with silicon material sheets, or even fill the entire space, without taking up too much volume.

This requires manufacturing very thin single crystal silicon wafers and arranging them in the most scientific order to achieve the goal.

There is no problem with the design; you still need to consult high-end manufacturing companies for craftsmanship.

In addition, an advantage of this design is that because of the unique design and requirements, most patent issues related to solar panels are avoided, and a large amount of patent expenses can be saved.

"With the current design, if the receiving end is to meet the output requirement of 30 kilowatts, it will still require 0.8 cubic meters of space."

"It's still a bit big!"

Zhao Yi believes that the ideal is less than 0.5 cubic meters.

To meet this demand, it is necessary to greatly increase the electrical energy conversion rate and use single crystal silicon materials that are compressed more than three times.

"The cost of compressing monocrystalline silicon materials will definitely increase significantly. We still need to contact a high-end compressed material manufacturing company."

Although Z-wave compression is a technology developed by Zhao Yi, Yixing Technology wants to achieve profitability, which is a normal business behavior, rather than investing in R\u0026D for high-end technology. If you want to obtain relevant materials, you must take the normal route.

Zhao Yi immediately contacted Advanced Compression Materials Company.

soon.

The Advanced Compression Materials Company sent a person in charge to discuss the matter.

Zhao Yi asked about the cost of manufacturing large quantities of compressed polysilicon, and the person in charge also said very directly, "If compressed monocrystalline silicon materials are manufactured individually, the price will be calculated based on quality."

The person in charge said the unit price.

Zhao Yi made a rough estimate and found that the manufacturing cost of monocrystalline silicon material compressed five times is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary monocrystalline silicon.

This price is still very high. Just purchasing the compressed monocrystalline silicon material required for each receiving device requires more than 20,000 yuan. Taking into account the costs related to space link equipment and manufacturing, the cost of the receiving device is no less than 50,000 yuan. .

"Fifty thousand yuan is acceptable!"

After Zhao Yi completed the design, he did a round of consultations, thought about it carefully, and finally decided on the design.

If monocrystalline silicon material compressed five times is used, the efficient power conversion rate will greatly shrink the receiving device, even to less than 0.3 cubic meters.

This size is sufficient for the needs.

The cost of 50,000 yuan does not sound low, but compared to low-end cars, a car that can be powered by concentrated satellite light must be a car with the highest level of technology. With unlimited energy monopoly technology, the price can be greatly increased. .

So there is still a very large profit margin.

Now that most of the technical problems have been solved, it is time to turn to related soft technology research and development. Zhao Yi immediately held a relevant technical meeting and proposed a new job.

Zhao Yi sat in the core position and said seriously, "Some of you may know, some of you may not know, we are working on a big project to build energy-gathering satellites that orbit the sun."

Many people knew this news, and it did not cause much discussion.

Zhao Yi continued, "But you definitely don't know that I am working on designing a receiving end for space energy transmission, and it is a small receiving end in the civilian field, which can efficiently convert light energy and output electrical energy."

"The purpose of this design is to allow the company to enter the new energy vehicle market. We are about to create civilian vehicles with unlimited energy power!"

"Hula~~~"

Zhao Yi's words immediately caused an uproar, and the conference room suddenly became lively.

Many people in the company know about space energy transmission technology, and some of them have directly participated in experiments and done some research and development related work.

Previously, they believed that the use of this technology was to create higher-power Z-wave generating satellites to prepare for small spacecrafts to achieve space shuttle.

Now I suddenly heard that a civilian car with unlimited energy power was designed, and I was very surprised. But those who understand the relevant technology will understand it if they think about it carefully.

"It's really good!"

"If we make a small receiving end, wouldn't it have unlimited energy?"

"This is amazing!"

"Infinite energy! It will be realized soon! If we create a car with unlimited energy, who else will be our opponent in the new energy market?"

Someone who knew the technical data immediately raised a question, "Even if a car can produce unlimited energy, there must be a limit to its quantity, right?"

Of course.

Zhao Yi nodded affirmatively, "According to our cooperation agreements with other companies, as well as the design of energy-gathering satellites, and taking into account the reserved energy -"

"Through detailed calculations, the remaining energy transmitted by the energy-gathering satellite can supply six thousand cars with a power of 30 kilowatts, and they can continuously drive at the highest power."

"However, this is the highest power. Even with this power calculation, we can still support the production of a minimum of more than 10,000 cars."

"If the power of the car can be reduced, and the space transmission efficiency can be limited and dynamically adjusted, energy consumption will be greatly reduced, and the number of cars that can be supported will be greatly increased."

"This is what we do next!"
