Survival of the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Looking at the relatively prominent bosses in front of him, Zhao Feng straightened his clothes and said directly:
"In the first half of 2012, Xia Guo's mobile phone market sales reached 1459 million units, of which domestic mobile phones accounted for 71.7% of the total share. After the release of Rotten Apple 5, this share quickly dropped by 2.3%."

In other words, 28.3% of the installed capacity is occupied by foreign companies. If the average selling price of each mobile phone is 1000-1500 yuan, you have lost a market of nearly 50 billion yuan, and this is only the first half of the year.

In the second half of the year, the sales scale is conservatively estimated to be close to 1000 million units, which will be another huge loss.

"What is the reason for losing this part of the installed market? It is nothing more than a gap in performance and appearance. With the current level of mobile phone design, if you want to look good, you must give up performance, and if you want high performance, you must give up The weight of the fuselage, but what if you have a graphene battery?”

Zhao Feng's language is full of the power of temptation. Of course, you can also say that the strings of numbers and money are full of terrifying bewitchment.

He knew what these businessmen wanted, so Zhao Feng could easily catch their tickles.

Next, he only needs to give a way to "relieve the itch" and give him his "miracle medicine".

“First of all, if graphene batteries become popular, the energy density of low-end models of the same volume will increase by more than 4 times, making them more cost-effective. It will not be a problem to use this as an opportunity to sweep the low-end market.

High-end models can use chip stacking technology to directly double the performance of domestic mobile phones. In this way, even if the battery space is halved, due to the existence of graphene and chip stacking technology, our domestic products must be at least better than those of the same period. Leading the overall performance by more than 50%. "

"Then comes the even more terrifying charging speed. The extreme charging rate of 250W only requires 10 minutes of charging to provide 4 hours of talk time. With all these conditions put together, it is no longer a dream to even dine in foreign markets."

As Zhao Feng's upper lip collided with his lower lip, the prospect he described was almost like a cross-era crush.

Even several CEOs, vice presidents, and even company bosses who had seen the world were stunned by the scene described by Zhao Feng.

“Like that crappy Apple 5, it’s simply not qualified to compete with domestically produced machines.”

"The performance can't be beat, the battery life can't be compared, and the charging speed is still dozens of times faster. If you can't charge it in 4 hours, here you can charge it twice in 10 minutes. It goes without saying which one the user will choose between the two."

"And the most important thing is that you no longer need to import lithium battery technology from foreign countries, which will save a lot of cross-border patent royalties."

After saying so much, Zhao Feng's speaking speed gradually slowed down, quietly waiting for the reactions of several bosses.

What he said has been very clear. He believes that even these big bosses can think clearly.

Several people were silent for a while, and suddenly Mr. Lei said:

“If I want to buy exclusive rights, I wonder what it will cost?”

"1000 billion euros, together with the patents and the permanent use rights of these devices." Zhao Feng quoted a lower selling price without thinking.

But in his opinion, the extremely low selling price made all the bosses take a breath of cold air.

What is the concept of 1000 billion euros?
Equivalent to 1.1 trillion yuan.

Although this patented technology and supporting production technology will definitely allow the company to recover its capital, who can have so much cash flow?

Not talking about cash, even depreciating all fixed assets is not enough.

Tens of billions of RMB is still possible, but hundreds of billions of euros is a bit nonsense.

Even if these 3 billion euros can be earned back in 4-[-] years, he still wants too much.

Mr. Lei took a deep breath, stared at Zhao Feng's serious and searching expression, and said softly:

"Mr. Zhao, otherwise let's talk about installments."

Hearing this, Zhao Feng chuckled and slowly gave another solution:

"In fact, I recommend that you join a joint venture to purchase the right to use it, because I will not license this technology to foreign companies, which means that in the field of battery energy, you will have an absolute monopoly for at least a century. initiative."

"Foreign markets will be completely controlled by everyone here."

"Of course, it's not just mobile phones. New energy vehicles will also crush fossil energy vehicles and even shake the United States' oil hegemony. By then, the currency for world trade settlement will inevitably change because of this small piece of graphene."

"Meajin settlement will become a thing of the past, and you will also enjoy great fame for mastering the "ticket" of the new era."

Money, fame and fortune are two things that an individual cannot escape.

Not to mention the businessmen he faced, who were more pursuing fame and fortune.

Staring at the production line that was still spitting out batteries, all the bosses knew that being able to master the technology for mass production of graphene batteries would definitely be a profitable business.

"Mr. Zhao, I don't know how you calculated that this graphene technology can last for 100 years?" Vice President Meng was very satisfied with Zhao Fenghua's pie. The only thing he was a little bit worried about was that the graphene battery could last for a century. understand.

Zhao Feng chuckled at this and explained softly:
"Dry batteries were first invented in 1887. By 1958, batteries with electrolyte as the core greatly improved their energy density. Then in the 20s, lithium batteries were launched for environmental protection."

“But no matter how the battery develops, it is inseparable from its core technology, which relies on ions in active metals to carry and conduct electrons.

Dry batteries use zinc ions, while electrolytes and lithium batteries use lithium ions. These two metal-ion batteries are either toxic or prone to explosion and fire. "

"But graphene is different. It does not rely on metal ions. Although it is highly reactive, it is extremely safe. This is a complete class jump in materials science."

"If you want to reach the next level, you have to develop new materials, and the new materials have to be more than 10 times higher than the energy storage density of graphene. In my opinion, if you want to reach that level, only metallic hydrogen can okay."

"The energy density of that thing is 239 times that of a lithium battery of the same volume."

"It's very strong, right? But here's the problem. Metallic hydrogen is not like graphene. Graphene may be able to use some tricks, but the production of metallic hydrogen must use absolute strength.

Think about it, in a closed space, using 500 million times the atmospheric pressure, you can barely compress a small piece less than the size of a grain of rice. And because of its overly active characteristics, it will volatilize quickly. If you want to save it Up, you need a more solid packaging shell. "

“Although metallic hydrogen has higher energy density, it is also more unstable and unsafe, so even if it is manufactured, there will be packaging problems that will slow down the application process.”

"The most important point is that the explosive power of metallic hydrogen is more than 50 times that of TNT. If enough energy is charged, its power will be doubled directly. Therefore, in the future, civilian-level energy storage equipment will be used for a long time. It will still be dominated by graphene, and the 100 years I said may be just a conservative number."

Zhao Feng's explanation made the bosses excited.

In the end, after a discussion, each company finally took out 35% of the shares and 100 billion yuan.

Of course, if he wanted to sell it at a higher price and require more cash, he could actually do it.

But the problem is, time doesn't allow it. How can he have time to find other buyers?How can I have time to replay today's episode all over again?
Moreover, the total price of RMB 800 billion can be used to purchase various materials.

So he didn't have much interaction with these vice presidents and bosses.

Just one day has passed and the first wave of 1 billion funds has arrived.

After purchasing enough materials to manufacture [-] graphene battery production lines, Zhao Feng began a shopping spree.First of all, we rented several large warehouses nearby. Because the nearby warehouses were all owned by the same boss, the negotiation was very fast, and we almost signed and paid on the same day.

And because Zhao Feng was a regular customer, the cost was reduced to 400 million yuan, so he rented a huge warehouse area of ​​2 square meters.

Afterwards, Zhao Feng once again started purchasing frantically.

All kinds of equipment, steel materials, cables, and microcontrollers were shipped in large quantities.

Because he really disliked the current chip technology on earth, he directly purchased a large amount of monocrystalline silicon.

Also purchased were laser etching equipment.

Of course, these things cannot be used directly after they arrive. Instead, he uses his omnipotent telekinesis and advanced technology tree to conduct secondary development of these devices.

Soon he produced a top-notch chip with a 1-nanometer process.

In fact, Zhao Feng can also make a more sophisticated chip, even reaching 0.1 nanometer is not a problem.

But because the physical width of silicon atoms is 0.23 nanometers, the limit of single crystal silicon is 1 nanometer due to material limitations.

Why do you say that?As we all know, computer language is represented by 1s and 0s.

At the chip level, at least two paths, 1 and 0, are needed to build the physical surround within the chip.

But just 2 channels are not enough, because the calculations of the CPU are all parallel, that is to say, input and output must be performed at the same time, so at least 4 channels are required.

Even if the technology is advanced enough to perform atomic-level etching, due to material limitations, the four channels will still occupy 4 nanometers. Considering the nature of chip computing, it is a process of transmitting electrical signals and electrons.

Therefore, the four 0.92nm channels cannot be too close to each other, otherwise it will cause problems similar to short circuits.

But even so, the chips produced by Zhao Feng are already very terrifying.

At least in 2023, Intel’s 9th generation i1 will not be able to enter the [-]-digit chip manufacturing process.

In that era, the most powerful i9 chip still used a 10-nanometer process.

With the improvement of the manufacturing process, a CPU with the same area can have half the number of transistors, and the performance can be directly improved by 50%.

Compared with 1 nanometers, 10 nanometer can be said to be a full 10 times improvement, which will increase the computing power by at least 500%.

In addition, the chip technology and architecture that Zhao Feng possesses are unprecedented in this era.

Higher integration and faster calculation speed.

Therefore, in this regard, the computing power will be increased by at least 10 times to 50 times.

In other words, his hand-made chip will have at least 2023-14 times the computing power of the 9th generation i50 in 250.

而i7 3770k与14带i9的算力差距则差着10倍都不止。

In other words, a chip that Zhao Feng rubbed by himself is worth the thousands of i7s he has bought now.

This gap has simply reached a level of despair.

And he didn't make too many of these chips, because he had to manually pull out the corresponding motherboard.

As for mass production, it is not necessary for the time being.

Because if this warehouse goes as he expected, after such a display of strength in the past two days, it will definitely be targeted by someone who is interested.

Therefore, these advanced technologies can no longer be displayed so blatantly outside.

Even if he wants to engage in mass production, he will go to the advanced base under the sea to do it.

With the help of the newly introduced infrastructure robots, various components of the smelting furnace and geothermal extraction station are also being welded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After upgrading the AI, as night falls.

He took action again and escorted all these key building materials, supplies, and steel plates to the advanced base in the deep sea.

This wave of additions has allowed projects that had been suspended to restart. .

The new resources not only include various building materials and spare battery packs, but also include underwater robots that Zhao Feng was free to build.

At this moment, more than 85% of the construction progress of the main project has been completed, and because of the addition of new robots, the progress of construction in other directions has also been significantly accelerated by the naked eye.

Before the canopy was completely merged, all the various building parts that had been prepared were also sent into it.

With the canopy completely welded shut, the pressure relief chamber and drainage chamber were completed successively.

At this time, a large amount of seawater began to gradually withdraw from this huge steel fortress.

Of course, in order to ensure that this submarine base will not be deflated by negative pressure due to a momentary mistake.

Zhao Feng turned on the electrolyzed water device specially prepared early.

Because hydrogen has a lower specific gravity, it floats higher into the sky.

Therefore, in order to avoid danger, a special gas extraction device was installed in the center of the dome early in the morning.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the hydrogen explosion, nor the negative pressure that will tear the entire base into small pieces and cause tragedy.

The oxygen, because of its larger specific gravity, will not be pumped away.

As time passed, about an hour passed, and now in this empty forward base, one could easily live here even without wearing an oxygen mask.

After solving the space problem in the base, it was finally the construction of the geothermal extraction station and smelting plant.

The geothermal extraction station is easy to say, just go directly from here to drill a hole in the base.

The smelter problem is a little more difficult to deal with. (End of chapter)
