Spark

Chen Nian never expected that such a windfall would come from visiting a post bar.

Carbon dioxide starch synthesis technology, although this thing sounds tasteless now, it actually has unlimited potential.

After all, going to the stars and the sea is the destiny of civilizations looking up at the starry sky. At that time, do you really want to set up a special planting area in the precious spaceship space?

The essence of artificially synthesized starch is to realize the industrial transformation process of inorganic matter into organic matter, break the bottleneck of resource constraints, and greatly improve the "survival boundary" of human beings.

But of course, it is too early to talk about the full application of this technology.

Although in this era, domestic power resources are generally surplus, and there is no need to consider using photovoltaic power to save costs, but the problem is that invertase is expensive.

In Chen Nian's impression, the price of this thing was still sky-high even in 2020, and it didn't drop until the first factory was completed in 2023.

Can't afford it, can't afford it at all.

——

However, it is absolutely no problem to plan and reserve it in advance as a high-potential project.

It's a real hit!

Only 1.5 source points can actually resolve this kind of thing.

This feeling is like buying a lottery ticket for two yuan and winning five million...

——

No, it should be said that it was like running to a luxury store to meet the world, but just happened to meet someone dealing with defective products, and I immediately took them down at the floor price...

Chen Nian happily walked around the room twice, then entered the chemical formula and synthesis method of the catalytic enzyme into the computer, turned around and called Chen Guo.

He briefly explained his "discovery" to Chen Guo. The latter listened to the whole process in a daze, and then asked in disbelief:

"So, you read someone else's nonsense on the Internet—er, fantasies, and then tried it yourself, so you made this stuff?"

"Are you sure it's actually converting methanol into starch? That's a little weird, isn't it?"

"Although the ingredients are the same, but... what am I talking about here?"

"Please pass over the technical documents, and I'll find someone for you."

Chen Guo stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking. In fact, what he said just now was completely out of his subconscious reaction, but he soon came back to his senses:

Isn't this bullshit?

Knowing that the kid on the other side has a secret, the superiors turned a blind eye, so why talk about it?

It's fine to keep what people give, and it's no good for anyone to get to the bottom of it!

But what surprised him was that Chen Nian answered his question seriously.

"Professor Chen, you also know that whether it is materials science or biochemistry, the process of doing experiments is actually no different from a lottery. Most of the time, being able to draw what you want is purely luck."

"And I, of course, just had better luck."

"Yes, yes, your luck has always been very good."

Chen Guo quickly agreed, and said inwardly:

The brat can really act.

The two exchanged a few words, Chen Guo took away the document of carbon dioxide starch conversion enzyme, and planned to hand it over to the Institute of Industrial Biotechnology for experimental exploration, while Chen Nian returned to his desk leisurely, and began to study the digital array The next node of the Radar tech tree to come.

Now, the problem of the diffusion furnace has been basically solved, so the next step is the single crystal furnace.

After these two things are done, basically the T/R components required by the digital array radar can be mass-produced.

As for the lithography machine and etching machine needed to further improve performance?

Hmm... If there are spare sources, it is not impossible to do it, but generally speaking, the cost performance is not high.

In fact, the semiconductor technology required by any kind of military electronic product will not be the most cutting-edge batch. Even on Lao Maozi's side, there are many weapons, including the Su-27, which still use 60, Electronics from the 70s.

What were the electronic devices at that time?

Large PCBs, packaged SMD chips, radars made by Cassegrain technology, and even large discrete transistors, which are slightly cyberpunk.

But such backward electronic equipment has limited impact on the combat effectiveness of its air force.

Of course, this is just a relatively extreme example. After entering the era of phased arrays, everyone began to update their radar systems, but even the most advanced radar chips will lag behind civilian chips by several generations, until 20 years In the future, most of the radars in the world will still stay at the level of 70 to 40nm.

Therefore, it is actually unnecessary to build a lithography machine just for the digital array radar.

It's better to take advantage of this not-so-sensitive time to buy more...

Thinking of this, Chen Nian shook his head lightly.

Then don't go too far in the layout, and get the technology of the single crystal furnace first.

As for the rest, it doesn't matter if you take one step at a time.

Therefore, he took out the list of technical difficulties related to single crystal furnace equipment output at the previous meeting, and began to scan them one by one with the system.

This time, the list of technical difficulties is much smaller than that of the diffusion furnace, but the number of source points that need to be consumed is almost the same.

The main reason is that the manufacture of a single crystal furnace involves process-oriented simulation software, and the initialization of the simulation software must be supported by a large amount of data.

Obviously, the system skipped this link for him, and included the cost of this link in the source consumption.

Overall, to manufacture an advanced level single crystal furnace, the number of source points that one needs to consume is 2.9.

Seeing this number, Chen Nian couldn't help complaining secretly in his heart:

Sure enough, the F-22 was so cheap at the beginning because it was a novice benefit. After the project was completed, the system's prices returned to normal levels immediately...

However, I have no way to bargain with the system, so I can only find a way to earn enough source points.

Still short of 1.32 source points.

Chen Nian sighed, and after writing down the number "1.32", he began to silently calculate the time it would take him to earn so many source points.

It seems that the learning schedule of the silicon material course has to be rushed forward.

On the one hand, you can earn more source points, on the other hand, you should try your best to "make a bargain" with the system by improving your knowledge level.

Chen Nian scratched his head silently, then took out the notes he took in the morning, turned to the page of "Crystal Surface Index", and began to review and consolidate the calculation process learned in the morning...

...

At the same time, Chen Guo has already contacted Xu Min, the head of the Tianjin Industrial Biotechnology Research Institute, with great efficiency, and informed him about the discovery of the enzyme that catalyzes the production of starch from carbon dioxide.

The latter's reaction was equally astonishing. You must know that although their institute has this subject, it is still at the stage of hypothesis and theoretical demonstration. As for the process and process, they are all eight characters.

And now, you actually came to me and told me that you have already figured out the most critical catalytic enzyme?

How can this be……

——

However, judging from the document he just received, it is indeed not impossible...

"Professor Chen, can you tell me how he discovered this enzyme?"

Xu Min read the document reasoning over and over again, and asked cautiously over and over again.

"...I don't know how to answer this question for you. I can only say that he was lucky enough to discover this enzyme."

"As for how to do it... Who can explain clearly? In fact, even if it is your own experiments in the laboratory, it is impossible to guarantee that the required materials can be produced stably, right?"

"It's all luck... let's just treat it as luck, understand?"

"Understood."

Xu Min nodded, and then said:

"In this case, let me arrange resources for trial production."

"If we can really prepare this thing, then we will be famous in history..."

Chen Guo nodded in agreement, but suddenly, he sensed something was wrong:

"——No, why do I feel that I have heard so much about the term "remaining in history?"
