Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

The plan to earn experience failed due to battery life issues, so Kangchi had to wait patiently for the remaining parts and materials.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long, and they were basically all there on the third day.

So Kangchi began to retreat again and carried out experimental research on the digestion and carbonization module.

The digestion module Kangchi uses the Fushun retorting method, which is one of the four major oil shale retorting processes in the world. It first appeared in the 1930s.

Its advantage is that the retort furnace has a simple structure and is very durable. It can also complete retort collection of low-grade oil shale.

The disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the amount of shale processed each time is small, the oil yield is only 65%, and it also causes air pollution.

However, Fushun Mining Group later upgraded the technology of Fushun furnace, strengthened the degree of automation, and increased the oil yield to 80%. It also made great improvements in terms of environmental protection, energy saving and volume.

In fact, neither the Fushun furnace in China nor the Paraho furnace in M ​​country is suitable for being directly installed on oil-producing insects based on the current technology.

Because these retort methods have one thing in common, that is, they all need to burn shale to obtain the retort temperature. When burning underground at a depth of several thousand meters, not only is oxygen a big problem, but it also goes against the original design intention of Kangchi to consume electricity and save fuel.

Therefore, the retort furnace is just an introduction. It just lets the system know what it is building first, and then leaves the remaining problems to the system to upgrade and improve...

As Kangchi carefully completed the assembly, the familiar system panel popped up again.

[Item: Micro shale oil retort furnace]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item Level: 1]

[Experience: 0/100]

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis items: no analysis items]

[General experience: 6308]

[Mastery Points: 50.6]

Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time.

Looking at the mini retort furnace on the table, which was only 80cm high and looked like a thermos cup, Kang Chi couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

If this thing had been in the past, even if he could design it, just rubbing the precision parts would have been a headache.

But now, he can directly use the R\u0026D team and equipment of Dahan Silicon Industry and let them become his own parts manufacturing center, which greatly reduces the time and difficulty of equipment manufacturing.

Just, very comfortable.

Although the system has popped up the panel, indicating that this retort furnace can indeed refine petroleum,

But Kang Chi couldn't help but want to actually test it, so he took out a few pieces of oil shale that Yan Hui had bought through some connections and crushed them.

From the appearance, oil shale is not much different from ordinary rocks.

If the oil content is relatively large, it will appear black; if the oil content is relatively small, it may be brown or even white.

Although it looks like an ordinary rock, there is really petroleum inside this thing, and it can be ignited directly with fire.

And if you use a hydraulic press to press it, you may not be able to press out the oil. You have to use a retort furnace to extract it.

This is the obvious difference between shale oil in Country M and China.

Most of the shale oil currently exploited in Country M is rock formations with relatively high oil content and shallow depth. They are like sponges full of oil. The oil can be squeezed out relatively easily using fracturing.

However, most of the oil shale in China has rapid sedimentation phase changes, strong heterogeneity, low thermal evolution, and high wax content, resulting in poor fluidity and generally greater difficulty in extraction.

The current mining direction is to use fracturing to squeeze oil out of a small amount of oil-rich shale, and to directly dig out the shallower oil shale for dry distillation to extract oil.

The retorting method may seem backward and primitive, but in fact it has strong applicability. As long as it can solve the problems of excavation costs and environmental damage, it may be the most suitable method for shale oil extraction in China.

After crushing the oil shale, Kangchi began to manually pour it into the feed port on the top of the retort furnace, then turned on the power and pressed the button to start the equipment.

Since the equipment is completely sealed, Kangchi cannot see the specific carbonization process and can only roughly guess its working progress based on the design principles.

After five minutes, the temperature of the furnace body obviously began to rise. This is because Fushun retort furnaces are usually in groups of 20 and share a condenser. However, Kangchi is only doing a simple test and will not let it work for too long, so it does not work at all. Install a condenser on it.

As the temperature of the furnace body got higher and higher, thick black liquid finally began to overflow from the oil outlet and flow into the small container prepared in advance.

The entire dry distillation process lasted for about ten minutes, and finally 30ml of oil was successfully collected.

In fact, if you continue to add materials into it, it is estimated that you can collect at least 100ml in ten minutes. However, because there is no condenser installed, Kangchi does not dare to continue adding materials.

Otherwise it will probably explode...

In fact, Kang Chi had been hiding behind a steel plate for a long time. After the retort furnace stopped working and the temperature dropped almost, he dared to get closer to inspect the collected oil.

Um,

The taste is very authentic, like rotten eggs.

The next step is to connect 20 retort furnaces and condensers in series, and then install them on the digestion module in the middle of the oil-producing insect.

Kangchi was busy with this process for four days and it was not completed. It was not until Fang Qiming couldn't help but call and ask about the situation of Kangchi's production line that Kangchi remembered this matter.

"It's ready. You can come over and take it away at any time. By the way, when you come over, take the coating machine over too."

"Ah? The coating machine also needs to be upgraded? Doesn't that mean we have to take turns to take holidays?"

"Isn't it good to have a holiday?"

"Well...of course the employees are happy, but I'm very stressed."

"Don't worry, technology is the primary productive force. Once you see the upgraded equipment, you won't be stressed anymore."

Fang Qiming thought Kang Chi said this just to comfort him.

After all, Kangchi said before that it was just a small upgrade.

Moreover, this improvement work only took more than a week. How much improvement can it make?

However,

When Fang Qiming came to Kang Chi's house and saw this completely redesigned lens manufacturing machine, he realized that he was so naive!

Thinking back to the first time I entered the warehouse of Daqin Optics and saw the densely packed parts, circuits and equipment,

He suddenly realized,

You can always only believe half of Kang Chi’s words!

"I remember you said this is just a small upgrade and improvement, not a big project..."

"Hmm... I keep changing it, and I accidentally overdo it."

Kang Chi just found an excuse to deal with it.

Anyway, every corner of this house was designed and supervised by him personally. The outer layer is made of electronic anti-theft, while the inner layer uses the simplest and simplest physical and mechanical structure anti-theft door.

As long as the double door is closed, no one knows what he is doing inside.

Then, Kangchi introduced to Fang Qiming how to use the upgraded equipment.

At this time, Fang Qiming was no longer the stupid young man who knew nothing about lens production.

After listening to Kang Chi's introduction, he realized more clearly that not only the appearance of this equipment has changed dramatically, but the functional structure inside has also been completely transformed.

It has definitely reached the international first-class level!

With this lens manufacturing machine, making microscopes, sights, etc. is not easy!

This made Fang Qiming's heart start to heat up, and he couldn't wait to try the effect immediately.

"After you pull it back, let the R\u0026D team try several more raw material ratios based on different lens requirements. If you have any questions, call me anytime."

Fang Qiming nodded and suddenly asked: "Are these the parts you asked Dahan Silicon Industry to help make?"

"Well, what's wrong?"

"How much did it cost? Do you want me to pay Dahan Silicon?"

"Um……"

Only then did Kang Chi remember that Dahan Silicon Industry had two other shareholders. He was indeed taking advantage of Dahan Silicon Industry's resources by taking advantage of it...

And that Fang Qiming can think of this is enough to prove that although he has grown a lot, he is still the same honest and responsible young man at his core.

When Kang Chi invited him, he was actually interested in this aspect of his character and felt that he would feel more comfortable using it.

In addition, being able to raise this question also shows that he is really thinking about the problem from Kang Chi's perspective and does not want to make it difficult for him.

Kang Chi was still very pleased.

He patted Fang Qiming on the shoulder: "Thank you for reminding me. I will ask Dahan's finance department to draw up a list of expenses later. You can owe it first and pay it back later when your finances are strong. It is estimated that the actual cost of renovating three machines will only be millions."

"OK, all right."

After Fang Qiming left, Kangchi followed suit and upgraded the newly brought over lens coating machine.

The upgraded coating machine is only slightly larger than before. It feels like it has a white skin.

After some understanding, Kangchi found that although its appearance has not changed much, its performance has improved a lot.

The most obvious thing is that there are many types of coatings. The available coating types include anti-reflection coating, dielectric high-reflective coating, metal reflective film, polarizing film, waterproof film, etc., nearly ten types!

In addition to the increasing number of coating types, up to three coating layers can be superimposed on the same lens!

With this multi-layer coating technology and the upgrade of lens materials, Daqin Optics’ next lens products will definitely not lose to Sony and others in terms of image quality.

Even if the debugging is done well, maybe even Zeiss will not be a match!

Kangchi hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to spend 5 proficiency points to conduct a separate analysis of the multi-layer coating technology of this coating machine, so as to avoid being confused about everything.

After analysis, he drew a small part design drawing and sent it to Yan Hui for manufacturing based on the knowledge he gained.

This is mainly for Chen Hai and others to see.

Otherwise, they would just see the equipment coming in, without even a single piece of iron or the like, and it would be upgraded equipment when it comes out...

Somewhat outrageous.

After finishing the coating machine, Kangchi let it dry for a while as usual before continuing to make oil-producing insects.

Since the manufacturing process of combining the two modules requires a certain degree of automation, the manufacturing process was not smooth. After repeated testing and improvement, it was not until the sixth day that the system panel was finally updated!

[Item: Shale oil automatic refining machine]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item Level: 1]

【Experience: 2/300】

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis items: no analysis items]

[General experience: 6308]

[Mastery Points: 47.3]

Kang Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the name of the item.

This mentally retarded system finally knows what it is going to do...

Unfortunately, the upgrade experience also tripled!

According to Kangchi's understanding of systemic urinary properties, experience will be doubled or even quadrupled with each subsequent level up.

I don’t know if these 6308 points of general experience can be tolerated...

After Kangchi slowly moved away from the machine, he began to continuously upgrade it.

General experience - 298,

-

900,

-

2700!

As three rays of light flashed, the originally crude oil extraction machine quickly transformed into a six-meter-long gray giant insect.

Its round, segmented body is a bit like a centipede, but because it has no legs and is shorter in length, it looks not only less disgusting than a centipede, but actually a bit cute.

perhaps,

Should it be called gray silkworm?

[Item: Shale oil automatic refining machine]

[Manufacturer: Kangchi]

[Item level: 4]

[Experience: 0/8100]

[Item status: intact]

[Analysis item: parsable]

[General experience: 2410]

[Mastery Points: 47.3]

Just three upgrades directly consumed 3898 general experience points.

The experience required for the next upgrade has also reached an astonishing 8100!

Kang Chi looked at the remaining 2410 general experience and couldn't help but feel a little sick.

As the technological content of items becomes higher and higher, there is a clear upward trend in both the proficiency points required for analysis and the experience for upgrading.

It seems that Daqin Optics’ after-sales policy of original price replacement and free replacement is still necessary.

It just needs to be improved a little bit,

For example, if the original price replacement is changed to a high price replacement,

Free replacement adds a condition requirement, and try to recycle battlefield condition lenses with more experience.

Then there is no need to continue the activity all the time, just do it once when you lack experience.

Kang Chi was preparing to learn more about the upgraded oil bugs when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and looked at the caller, and found that it was Wu Lihong, so he quickly answered the call: "Hello, Teacher Wu? This is Kang Chi."

"Well, are you busy now? Can you answer the phone?"

"Well, I'm at home now, what can I do?"

"Actually, it's nothing important. I just wanted to know what you've been up to lately."

Kang Chi immediately noticed that there seemed to be something behind Wu Lihong's words.

This is because he has finished working on the silicon wafer and has rested for a whole day, so I want to supervise him...

"Well... I have recently been improving the lens production line for Daqin Optics, and then I built an oil extraction gadget..."

"Oil extraction gadget?"

"Well, I can't tell for a while, but you will know then..."

In fact, Kang Chi himself didn't know what happened to the upgraded oil-producing insects, so he gave it a try.

Wu Lihong didn't ask further questions. He just thought that Kang Chi might have made some weird little invention out of personal interests.

For example, the excavator toy I heard about from Chief Lu...

"So after you improve the lens production line, what are your plans?"

"Teacher Wu, you'd better say it directly..."

"Haha, okay, I won't beat around the bush... During this period, Zhang Da called me from time to time and wanted me to persuade you to go to Yanjing HEPS and do research on steady-state micro-bunch light sources with him."

HEPS?

It turned out to be Academician Zhang...

Kang Chi was surprised after hearing this.

HEPS is a high-energy synchrotron radiation light source invested and built by the state in Yanjing. This scientific research facility is somewhat similar to a particle accelerator, except that it does not study physical particles, but photons.

There have been rumors that China plans to build a high-energy synchrotron radiation light source like a particle accelerator, verify that it will replace the EUV light source of the lithography machine with a large-scale stable micro-bunch light source, and build a super lithography factory.

It can not be!

Kang Chi couldn't help but asked curiously: "Isn't the HEPS not built yet?"

"Well, it's still under construction, but there are some equipment problems that need to be solved while it's being built."

"Understood." Kang Chi nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "I probably won't be able to do it during this period of time. Let's talk about it after I finish this period of time."

"Well, that's ok. I guess he's not in a hurry... But if you've rested and relaxed enough, you should think about your next research direction... You're still young and you are the most innovative. time, don’t waste this precious time..."

"..."

Kang Chi heard Wu Lihong's sincere persuasion and couldn't help but look at the door...

Although the door was closed and he couldn't see outside, Kang Chi could still imagine Chen Hai's expression when he reported to his boss that he was playing in the mud...

He sighed helplessly: "Don't worry, I don't lose my mind by playing with things..."

"Haha, that's good."

"..."

After hanging up the phone, Kang Chi took another look at the upgraded oil bug.

hehe,

They all thought I was playing in the mud and lost my mind, right?

Two-in-one was posted in succession~
