The Star Catcher

Chapter 25 Auto Tires
When he got home at night, Liu Xu remembered the matter of changing tires in the rain in the afternoon.

Nowadays, although the domestic tire technology is relatively mature, there are still some deficiencies after all, and the hidden safety hazards are not small.

If the safety and quality of car tires can be further improved, it will not only be a profitable project, but also a good deed.

After obtaining the relevant data from Basha, Liu Xu was overjoyed to find that he could do this with his existing equipment.

However, this will involve the actual interests of some people, and the specific matters need further discussion and consideration.

Among the top ten auto tire manufacturers in the world today, except for one in Baodao, the other nine tire manufacturers are all foreign countries, with a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars. This is the safest way to make money.

Liu Xu can now extract and improve raw materials by himself, and other technologies are not complicated.

Moreover, the steel rim of the car can be replaced with blazing iron porcelain, and they are produced together; all you need to do is to find a way to buy the tires replaced by the car. This will not only solve the trouble of recycling used tires, but also make money and protect the environment. It is also beneficial.

Compared with the technology of blazing iron and porcelain, this technology to improve the quality and safety of automobile tires is not unique in the world, and it will not attract too many people's attention if it is used; moreover, the sales market is also very large, and it will not be available in a short time. cause too much backlash.

It’s just that the investment in the early stage will be huge, and a lot of equipment and skilled workers need to be purchased. Of course, it is also possible to use the smart refining material workshop to make tire materials in the early stage, but there is no professional production factory that will attract the attention of interested people. The smart refining material workshop Nor can we just produce tires every day.

After consulting the materials related to tire manufacturing, Liu Xu found that he was really a little rash before.

In fact, it is not easy to make car tires. Just look at several top tire manufacturing factories in the world. Some people say that the technology of making car tires is not easier than building rockets. This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

However, with the material refining center and [-]D printer, it is much easier. The difficult part of the formula is to prepare the material according to the purpose and environment. Others need thousands of experiments and comparisons, but I just need to copy it here.

The process of refining materials is the most complicated, but it has its own material refining center.

Through the calculation data of Basha, Liu Xu found that the Q-level car tire material refining center like Michelin can extract [-] tons in [-] hours. If the car tire materials are produced according to the Q-[-] process, it can Four thousand tons were produced.

If old tires are re-refined, [-] tons can be produced in [-] hours. According to the earth's standard, Q represents the commercial grade of tires, and the first grade is divided into ABC three categories. The first grade A is mainly used in the tire grade of heavy-duty large freight vehicles and agricultural vehicles. .

The second level is the civilian level for small cars, which are also divided into ABC three categories. Michelin's small car tires belong to the B level. Michelin's current technology can manufacture the third level A tires.

Triple-A tires are used in special environments, such as Mars, the moon, and places with strong corrosion, and the manufacturing cost is relatively high. According to the existing environment, the production of secondary C tires can fully meet your needs. Require.

Tier 10 C tires are complicated in technology and high in cost. They are currently the best car tires on the market for supercars and luxury cars. Their cost is more than five times that of ordinary tires.It can drive 60 kilometers on normal roads in an environment of -35-90 degrees, 5 kilometers on normal roads in an environment of 1-[-] degrees, and [-]-[-] kilometers in extreme off-road environments. The above data is in The data obtained under the condition of ensuring the safety of the driver and passengers.

Some external environments will also affect the service life of the tires. The car can brake rapidly at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour without causing major damage to the tires, and it can brake rapidly more than 150 times at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour.

It is of course no problem to make tires with intelligent refining centers and three-dimensional multifunctional machines, but it is definitely a super complicated process to make tires with machines and equipment in the world. There are hundreds of raw materials, many large-scale equipment, and special glue.

After reading the principles and craftsmanship of these tire manufacturing, Liu Xu seemed to understand why such a humble product as car tires is only mastered by a few countries... Early the next morning, Liu Xu went to the auto repair shop on the way and bought some small tires. Old car tires for a van.

The price of these discarded tires is very low, 30 yuan a piece, and 6000 pieces cost [-] yuan.

After taking someone to unload a car of tires, a young man asked in bewilderment:

"Boss, we are a toy factory. Why do you buy so many old tires? Even if you want to use rubber for some toy parts, you don't need this level of rubber, right?"

Liu Xu smiled and said:

"This will be kept a secret for the time being. Everyone has worked hard, so let's break up and go to our own business."

Last night, I selected ten kinds of car tire designs, all of which are common car tires for cars and urban SUVs. Insert a computer in the intelligent refining material center, input the material ratio, put the old tires into the material input slot one by one, and soon a piece Chunks of disassembled tire material appeared in front of the conveyor belt.

After arranging biological robots to move the materials to the printing place of the [-]D printer, and input the material ratio, [-]D pattern, and other data into the printer's smart computer, Liu Xu waited with great anticipation for the real thing to appear.

In less than 10 minutes, ten types of tires, four for each type, were placed separately on the iron frame. I took one tire and compared it with a new Michelin tire bought in an auto repair shop. The naked eye does not look much different in style. .

Michelin’s car tires look a little rougher, but his own tires look more delicate, darker in color, and about the same thickness. We weighed them and found that the tires we produced weighed about one kilogram.

It's just that there is a lack of equipment for many experiments, and more detailed comparisons cannot be made.

These car tires are produced by the intelligent refining material center and three-dimensional printers. The data of these sample tires has reached the triple-A level, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the tires.

But what about mass production?

Liu Xu still has a headache about this.

Just then, Lu Xiangyue arrived.

As soon as he went out, Liu Xu saw a red Porsche off-road vehicle parked at the door, which was very impressive.

Lu Xiangyue was wearing a light blue suit jacket, straight casual trousers, and five or six centimeter royal blue high-heeled shoes, standing beside the car slim and graceful.

Liu Xu greeted him with a smile:
"Miss Lu is really punctual, welcome."

Lu Xiangyue looked at the surrounding environment with a smile, and nodded with a smile:
"Although it's a bit crude, it's not too bad; the surrounding area is very open, which leaves enough space for the company's future expansion.

The most important thing is that with such a location, the land lease price given by the deacon's mansion must be surprisingly cheap.

Mr. Liu, you have a great vision..."
