Interstellar Energy Tycoon

end of may.

Near the Tiangong space station.

A special spherical space factory with a maximum size of about 30 meters has been officially put into use some time ago.

This space factory is a simple factory for material purification, but it is not the kind of synthesis factory that can synthesize complex compounds or new materials, and it cannot bring some exciting nanomaterials and high-tech materials with special physical and chemical properties. Or never-before-seen new substances, etc., only have the ability to purify substances.

However, this purification plant has purified more than 2,000 tons of substances with a daily output of about 200 tons in a recent period of time, with nearly a hundred types.

It contains elemental silicon.

There are rare earth metals.

There are photoresist materials.

Today, more than 200 tons of aluminum oxide reflective materials produced by Xingyuan Group's super reflective factory were all purified, and then a Xingyuan aerospace transport plane, carrying this batch of reflective materials, landed in the The Dragon Hill Landing Field in Suhong City.

In the afternoon, in the industrial park, in the reflector assembly plant attached to the reflective material factory.

Li Xingyang came over to inspect.

Put on a dust suit.

In the ultra-clean and dust-free factory building, before walking to this trumpet-shaped device with a thick end and a thin end, the workers are doing precise assembly. The ultra-high-purity reflective lenses that have just arrived are carefully pasted on The surface of the inner wall of the device is very slow, and the precision instruments will be stopped to measure and correct the error. It is estimated that not much can be pasted in a day.

This device is the star ring reflector.

It can also be called the Star Ring Accelerator.

Its working principle is similar to that of a trumpet-shaped downlight, but one end with a large mouth receives the light beams entering from all sides, and then after a long and continuous narrowing of the reflection of the inner tube wall, the beam of light is emitted in an infinitely close to parallel state.

Even if it is one billion kilometers away, the cross-section of the beam can be increased from 1 square meter to 1000 square meters at most, and most of it can still be received by mining spacecraft, and it can achieve accurate and continuous irradiation with minimal error. To be honest, it is very difficult to manufacture. High, must work slowly and meticulously.

However, when Li Xingyang came to inspect this time, what he was most interested in was not the manufacturing progress of the first star ring reflector, but the changes that the ultra-high-purity reflective material might bring.

Because Nan Yibing, who was in charge of the research and development of reflective materials before, told him that when the purity of reflective materials is increased to more than 11 nines, its light reflectivity will also increase.

From the current 6 nines, it is increased to 7 nines, which is 99.99999% light reflectance.

This data is incredible. It seems to be a slight improvement, but it means that the capacity of the energy main road can be increased by as much as ten times on the current basis. This is an order of magnitude improvement.

But this time, Nan Yibing temporarily put aside her chip company business, and came over to stand next to Li Xingyang, accompanying her on the inspection.

Li Xingyang asked her: "Mr. Nan, this batch of ultra-high-purity reflective materials, after the reflective test, did they really reach a reflective rate of 7 nines? Exceeded the previous limit?"

"I'm not in charge of these projects now, but it's the same as I expected. After the purification of the space factory, the purity of the reflective material has been increased to 18 nines, which means that there are less than 100,000 impurity atoms in 1 mole of the substance. , the impact is very small. The tester told me that the reflectivity of high-purity aluminum oxide is close to 99.999995%, which is close to 8 nines. If some improvements can be made in the future, continue to improve the purity and improve the grinding accuracy. Reducing the impact of surface dust, etc., I think 8 nines is entirely possible to achieve, this is not the final limit."

Nan Yibing clasped his hands and said.

"Eight nines, that's a technology like a dream, but there is no need to pursue such a high level for the time being. For the second energy main road, it is enough to use 7 nines of reflective materials, and it cannot affect the construction speed of the energy main road. .”

Li Xingyang said.

"Understood Mr. Li, our factory has entered a state of high mobilization, and there are overtime arrangements every day, which will not hold back the company."

Lai Jun, the person in charge of the reflective material factory, packed the ticket and asked Li Xingyang to nod.

"By the way, the reflective lenses in the factory have been purified by the space factory. Give me a few hundred yuan. I need to use the lithography machine in the chip factory. It should increase the yield rate of the chip by two or three points...Xiao Lai ,any questions?"

At this time, Nan Yibing said to Lai Jun. It seemed to be a discussion tone, but in fact it was almost like taking something from her own house, because this Lai Jun was an apprentice brought out by her, and she got her key cultivation, otherwise the reflective material factory The person in charge, it's not his turn to Lai Jun.

"Sister Nan, grandma Nangu, a few hundred pieces are too many, at most 100 pieces will be given to you, if there are too many, Mr. Li is right here, just let me go."

Lai Jun arched his hands and begged for mercy with a wry smile on his face. Although Nan Yibing was his master and Bole who helped recommend him, he was still a little afraid of this aunt. Come up with some whimsical ideas. After working with her for a long time, there are not many who can stand her.

"Hmph, forget it, let's take 100 lenses for the time being. If it's not enough, I have to ask you for it. Don't be sour. It's only a few hundred lenses at most, and it won't affect the progress of the group's project. President Li also supports me. Right?"

Nan Yibing turned to look at Li Xingyang and said, putting pressure on him.

"As long as it doesn't affect the progress of other projects, of course I have no objection."

Li Xingyang had to make a statement, but he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Nan, your chip factory seems to have been in operation for more than a year. I don't know how the chip research is going. How to produce high-performance chips? Is there a chip?"

"Not more than a year, but almost two years."

Nan Yibing corrected him: "My handsome boss, Xingyuan Bingyun Chip Company, you also own half of the shares, but you don't seem to care about the life and death of the company at all, and you have never inspected it once. My help Your subordinates who have made great contributions to solving problems are also like exile, and have never received your attention again, hehe, what a terrible and realistic boss."

Her tone was full of deep resentment, as if she was accusing someone.

sweat.

Li Xingyang was sweating profusely, and had to say: "Mr. Nan, I still pay attention to your chip factory, but I don't know what kind of chip you are researching and how far you have been researching. There is no good news for me, so it is still Forget it if I don’t disturb you, if it’s really inappropriate, I’ll go to your chip factory in two days, inspect it, and encourage the employees.”

"It seems that it's all my fault. I usually work too hard. I can't blame you for not going, but..."

Nan Yibing grabbed his hand and said, "Don't say you won't go in two days, just go to my chip factory now. It's been almost two years, and it's time to show you some results."

"Mr. Nan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Xingyang said helplessly, but being pulled by her like this, he had no choice but to go to the 'Xingyuan Bingyun' chip manufacturing factory this time.
