Technological power starts with upgrading lenses

Chapter 94 The layout is too small

Regarding the future operation of Dahan Silicon Industry, Kangchi put forward the general direction of "stabilizing the domestic market and expanding internationally".
In terms of scientific research, Kangchi mainly asked the R&D team to improve equipment in the three links of rolling, cutting and chamfering in the short term to improve production efficiency, product yield and localization rate.

The equipment in these links was developed by domestic sister companies. Although it can be used, there is still a certain gap in terms of technical level.

Kang Chi also pointed out the direction of improvement to them one by one, leaving Yan Hui in charge of controlling the specific details. If you encounter any problems, just call him.

As for the longer-term goal, it is to skip the third generation and directly study the fourth generation semiconductor materials, such as gallium oxide, aluminum nitride, gallium antimonide, etc.

However, Kang Chi kept this plan in his heart and did not reveal it to Yan Hui for the time being, lest he would be too excited to sleep again and call him every day to urge him...

In this way, Kang Chi can finally be a hands-off shopkeeper again!

Just after Kangchi finished handling the matter of Dahan Silicon Industry, news came from Fang Qiming that they successfully won the 1180-year development rights of the resort at a price of 30 million, and the project also successfully passed the loan application. Only paid 30% down payment.

So on the third day after Kang Chi returned to Dongyang, this resort, which was branded as Daqin Optical R&D Base, officially began to enter the transformation stage.

During this period of time, Kang Chi personally supervised the construction units and asked them to make modifications according to their own ideas. On the other hand, he used the learning machine to crazily learn relevant knowledge about shale oil extraction.

Speaking of shale oil, we have to mention Country M, which currently has the most mature shale oil extraction technology in the world. In the 70s, they were embargoed by Camel and others on oil shipments.

This year, their GDP fell by 5.7%, industrial output dropped by 15.1%, and the economy suffered a heavy blow.

Although they later regained oil hegemony through various despicable means, they were afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so they launched a shale revolution in 08, which transformed them from an oil importing country to an oil exporting country. .

The method of extracting shale oil in M ​​country mainly uses hydraulic fracturing, that is, drilling a pipe into the shale layer, then injecting a large amount of water at high pressure, using the water pressure to crack the rock and squeeze out the oil and gas inside.

After years of technology accumulation, the fracturing method has been developed by them to be relatively mature and reliable, and the production cost is basically controlled between 30-50 US dollars. When the international oil price is higher than this production cost, the value of shale oil begins to rise. Played out.

As for our country, China actually has certain shale oil extraction technology, but it is still lagging behind compared to country M. In addition, the geological structure is different, and the cost generally costs 50-80 US dollars, or even higher.
Most of the time, international oil prices are actually within this range, so it is really not as cost-effective as buying them directly.

But this technology actually does not mean that it is cost-effective to buy and there is no need to study it.

Just imagine, as the world's second largest oil consumer, if we can reduce the cost of shale oil extraction to US$30, will the rich people in Camel dare to cut production at every turn and sell oil so expensively?

So you don’t need to use technology.

Shale oil can be exploited in no rush.
But you at least have to!

Otherwise, the price you pay for it depends on other people's mood. You have no bargaining power and can only be at the mercy of others.

However, in addition to cost constraints, there are also several very serious problems in the exploitation of shale oil, which has prevented China from making a decision to make efforts in this direction.

The first is hydraulic fracturing, which requires a large amount of water resources.

It is estimated that each shale oil well consumes about 1.5 cubic meters of water, which is equivalent to the water consumption of a medium-sized city in one day.

Secondly, when the water pressure is reduced, it will easily pollute groundwater resources, and may also cause geological disasters such as earthquakes and ground subsidence.

Finally, the fracturing method can only squeeze out the part of the oil and gas that is easier to squeeze out. When the easy-to- squeeze oil is gone, you have to immediately change the location and re-drill the well, which is very wasteful.

After learning about Country M's fracturing method, Kang Chi decisively gave up on this primitive and crude mining idea.

He is a systematic man, so why should he follow Old M's ideas?

He can make bold assumptions and verify carefully.

If a civilization with extremely advanced technology were to exploit shale oil, they would definitely be able to come up with countless collection plans, and any one of them would definitely involve fracturing.

Therefore, Kangchi only needs to use science fiction thinking, boldly assume a plan, reversely deduce the original version of this plan, and then build it and upgrade it.

When talking about science fiction + mining, the first thing that comes to Kangchi’s mind is mining robots.

Collecting resources through robots should be the most common in science fiction novels and movies, and it is also the closest to reality and the easiest to implement.Um,
It doesn’t have to be humanoid, either.

The appearance of that thing is too limited. It would be fine for posing in movies, or as a companion or nanny.

It has no practical value in the industrial field.

It can be expanded to become a mining machine.

So, what kind of mining machine can complete this task?
Soon, Kang Chi had a general idea.

In reality, you can also find a prototype reference for this thing, and China's strength in this aspect is quite good.

That's a TBM!

This thing used to be a stuck technology. In 97, China spent a full 7 million to import two units from Hans.

You must know that at that time, one dollar could buy 8 buns. Nowadays, a bun basically costs 2 yuan each, and it is still very small.

Prices have increased more than ten times!
So the 7 million at that time is at least 70 billion now, which is no exaggeration.

With the breakthrough of technology, the domestic shield machine has now been directly used for about 3000 million, becoming a good helper for infrastructure maniacs to use wherever they go.

Kangchi’s idea is to transform a bionic machine similar to an earthworm based on the technology of the shield machine.
It can wipe off the oil while loosening the soil...

In this way, the problems and hidden dangers caused by fracturing can be almost completely avoided.

The more Kang Chi thought about it, the more he felt that this direction was quite feasible, so he immediately excitedly began to learn about shield machines and shale oil refining...

And while Kang Chi was frantically acquiring knowledge and starting to try to design a prototype, his private laboratory was finally completed with the efforts of the decoration company!
Ok,
It’s finally time to move out of this small rental house…

Thinking about it, I seem a little reluctant to part with it.

After all, after living here for so many years, I have some feelings for it.

"Haha, Dr. Kang Da is finally willing to move out from my place?"

When the landlord heard that Kang Chi was quitting the lease and moving, he was immediately happy.

"Uh……"

Seeing the landlord's surprised expression, Kang Chi couldn't help but ask: "Why do you feel that Sister Fang wants me to move out quickly..."

"That's not true...even in all these years, I haven't raised my rent, right?"

"Hmm... So when I move out, how much are you going to rent? Let me guess, are you going to write in the advertisement that this is the house that Dr. Kang Chi studied hard in his humble life, and then directly offer four to five thousand?"

"Ahem." Sister Fang couldn't help but feel embarrassed after being guessed by Kang Chi, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated, and I'm not that greedy. Let's just increase it to two thousand at most."

"Two thousand?" Kang Chi smiled, "Sister Fang, your situation is too small!"

"!!?"

"These may be protected cultural relics in the future. Are you willing to destroy the pattern here just for a small amount of money?"

Sister Fang was stunned immediately...

　Well, actually I also want to write faster and more,

　　Who wouldn’t want to make more money, right?
　　But if you want to make this kind of scientific and technological writing a little more realistic, you have to look up a lot of information. This is really a bit difficult for a new author whose coding speed is already slow. In order to actually write it down, he often stays up until three o'clock in the evening. I can’t do three updates a day…

　　I hope everyone can bear with me about the update speed.
　　I will try my best to write more big chapters of 4K on the basis of 3K every day if I have the spare time~
