Minke's black technology

Chapter 224 Electric Propulsion Engine
Since the birth of Meow Star Group, unicorns can be seen everywhere!
But no matter from which point of view, these companies have nothing to do with the Meow Star Group. Even if they have some connection with the subsidiary, that kind of relationship is a normal cooperative investment, and it doesn't even have much to do with the core business of the subsidiary.

It looks completely different to outsiders, and the unicorns that appear suddenly are heart-wrenching.

These ambiguous technology companies sell various concepts all day long, desperately hyping up crazy money, stirring up a lot of money in the capital market.

Many investment institutions seem to have lost their minds, and they will only rush to join it, for fear that these companies that seem to have mastered black technology products will not accept their money.

Even though Meow Star Group has repeatedly made public statements to inform shareholders all over the world that these companies are peripheral companies that are supported by its subsidiaries according to their own product needs, and have nothing to do with the parent company.

They do not have the slightest bit of black technology, and they do not have any prospect of profit. Many unicorn companies are even heavily in debt due to excessive burning of money.

But they can still go to the stock market to make money and harvest a lot of Filipino vegetables. For outsiders, as long as they see a company that has something to do with black technology, they will rush like moths to the flame.

"It's crazy!"

Li Maoye, who knew the inside information, shook his head, unable to understand the thoughts of the stockholders.

The drone company run by Monkey Tank also happened to catch up with this wave of market prices. After the newly opened drone company got the hang of it, it immediately spent money to buy several companies related to drones, including one company It is quite famous in China, and its founder is one of the ten outstanding young people.

"Oh, I've met the boss of this company!" Li Maoye immediately remembered that he had had a drink with the other party at the Jieqing Banquet and chatted a few words.

"Why did you take down other people's companies? I remember that the boss is very confident. He probably won't sell the company, but help you to work!"

While recalling, Li Maoye inquired about the drone company.

Monkey chuckled, "As long as you spend enough money, there is nothing you can't buy!"

But Tank honestly explained: "If you don't sell it to us, this drone company won't survive for long!"

It turned out that after the release of polyurethane molecular batteries, it had a great impact on all aspects of society, and this impact gradually amplified with the passage of time, and the scope continued to expand.

The most important thing about drones is battery durability. If there is no polyurethane molecular battery installed, it will not be able to compete with other similar products anyway.

This drone company may have good technical performance in other aspects, but it is a pity that it has not established a good relationship with Yumao Battery Factory and cannot obtain a stable supply channel for batteries, so it is very affected in terms of market sales.

UAVs without high-energy batteries cannot compete with other peers at all, and the UAV market has entered the Red Sea area in recent years, and company bankruptcy and liquidation are also common.

"So that's the case!" Li Maoye couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

However, he has no choice. Every technological update will cause damage to the original market structure. Even though he has rapidly increased the output of Yumao Battery Factory to meet the needs of various fields, such phenomena will still occur.

In fact, this drone company has already figured it out. After selling it to Monkey Tank, the boss of this company also hugged a thigh!
Some companies have lost all the funds invested in battery research and development in the early stage because of the black technology battery of Meow Star, and even went bankrupt many large manufacturers of traditional battery manufacturers.

Samsung SDI is a typical example!
Even companies that have nothing to do with batteries will lose a lot of money because of black technology batteries. For example, Softbank Group suffered such an unwarranted disaster.

Softbank invested 1.1 million US dollars to build a new type of gravity energy storage power station before the polyurethane molecular battery came out. The principle is very simple, that is, it is built in a large cement tower to store electric energy. By moving the giant movable tower with a total weight of 35 tons , to charge or discharge the grid.

Then the black technology battery of the flower planter came out, and as a result, these cement towers became waste!

The storage of electricity in cement towers will not only cause high energy loss, but also the construction cost is very high. In comparison, the storage power station built with polyurethane molecular batteries is as cheap as the price of cabbage, so the investment of more than 1 million US dollars is completely It's useless!
Faced with this situation, the boss of Softbank Group almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and then he could only swallow it silently without saying anything.

The impact of other black technology products of Meow Star is also similar. Many companies have been forced to transform and change their core businesses, and more companies have been forced to go bankrupt.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything!
If they can take the opportunity to take a free ride with Meowstar Technology, they may soar into the sky, but if they block the way of Meowstar Technology, they will only have a tragic end of bankruptcy and liquidation.

This drone company can still be packaged and acquired, so the result is not bad!
After Houzi bought the company back, he planned to follow other companies’ asset operation and go public. First, he stripped off the core department, merged the technical personnel in it into the new company, and then left an empty shell and the design and manufacture of certain drone components. .

Then, according to the suggestions of capital institutions such as Wall Street, they invested a lot of money in packaging and dressing up, and kept improving their performance, hoping to make money by listing on NASDAQ.

"Can this work be successful?" Li Maoye expressed doubts, but he didn't know much about capital-related matters, so he didn't have much say.

"Should it be possible? Anyway, that's what those bastard grandchildren said!" Monkey didn't have much confidence, so he could only take a step and look at it.

Li Maoye told the monkey not to worry, wait until he gets something out.

A few days later, when Monkey Tank came to the laboratory on time and was trying to write the code, Assistant Xie called him to Li Maoye's side. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a model airplane on the test bench with a flat oval body. The wings extend obliquely on both sides of the body. There is a big hole in the buttocks at the rear end, and there are two thick round tubes to support it on the table.

Monkey Tank immediately realized that this was not a model airplane but a drone!

"Boss, you finally want to make a move?" Tank shouted immediately.

"Master Cat, is this really a drone?"

The monkey found that the appearance of the drone was too strange, unlike those sold on the market, there was no blade on its body, and it had no idea how it could fly.

Li Maoye waved his hand: "Come here!"

The drone immediately activated and flew up from the table, flew to the front of everyone with a slight hissing sound, hovered and stopped, and then remained motionless, as if by magic.

"Can it really fly?"

"How did you do this? Couldn't it be using an anti-gravity engine!"

"It doesn't look like a turbojet engine is used, the sound is not right, and the turbojet can't achieve such a stable hovering effect!"

The monkey and the tank kept guessing until Li Maoye ordered the drone: "Turn around!"

The drone then turned its head around, pointed its ass at the monkey and the tank, and flashed its engine nozzles.

Only then did the two of them clearly see that there was a faint blue flame around the hole at the rear of the drone, and the circular tubes the size of hair dryers on both sides of the drone were also emitting blue flames, just like three small gas stoves. Constantly burning.

"This, this is the Hall thruster?" Tank asked uncertainly.

"What is a Hall thruster?"

The monkey has not yet figured out how the drone flies, and even thinks that some black technology engine is used to make the drone fly.

In fact, the Hall thruster is not a black technology, it is a kind of electric propulsion engine, which was invented by scientists very early, but the thrust of the Hall thruster manufactured by the current earth technology level is very small, and the smallest thruster can only The degree to which a piece of paper is "blown".

It is a thruster that uses the joint action of electric field and magnetic field to convert electrical energy into kinetic energy of the working medium. The specific impulse is much greater than other current propulsion technologies. Therefore, many national scientific institutions are studying this thruster, trying to use it in spacecraft. and satellites.

Traditional electric propulsion systems mostly use gases such as argon and xenon as working fluids, so the cost is very high, and the thrust is also very low, which is not suitable for use in the atmosphere.

The Hall electric propulsion engine manufactured by Li Maoye uses inexhaustible air as its working medium. As long as the drone battery still has energy, it can continue to work.

"Then it's not black technology?"

The two monkey tanks were stunned. They could already imagine how amazing it would be if this electric propulsion engine was used on a drone. If it could be used on a space shuttle, wouldn't it be able to fly directly out of the earth and into space!

"Boss, you are going to heaven!"

"Master Cat, why are we using drones! Go directly to the spaceship!"

The two were so excited that they almost jumped up, but Li Maoye quickly poured cold water on them, "It is possible in theory, but it is not possible in practice!"

"why?"

"Because of various technical limitations, this is already the maximum thrust that can be realistic at present! It's okay to use it for drones, but if you want to put it on a larger aircraft, it will definitely not work!"

Li Maoye has no good way to do this. Even if he has a more powerful electric propulsion engine plan in his mind, there is no way to manufacture it with nothing.

A stronger Hall electric propulsion engine needs a higher power output. If you want to push the spacecraft into space, the energy you need is not what the battery can provide, and you even need the energy power output of a nuclear power plant.

Maybe in the future, but not now!

Even so, the monkey tanks are also very happy. The black technology engine pair they got from Li Maoye can improve the performance of the drone to a higher level.

So they went through the formalities happily, preparing to apply for this technology and push it to the drone market first.

As a result, the application was rejected on the grounds that it involved too many sensitive technologies and black technology components.

Then several military personnel came to the laboratory. They wanted to talk about the electric propulsion engine and see if they could ask the bald man to help.
