Chapter 94 The pattern is too small
In the future operation of Dahan Silicon Industry, Kang Chi proposed the general direction of “stabilizing the domestic market and expanding the international market”. In the direction of scientific research, Kang Chi mainly asked the R&D team to improve the 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 are all developed by domestic brother companies. Although they can be used, there is still a certain gap in technical level.
Kang Chi also pointed out the improvement direction to them one by one, and let Yan Hui be responsible for 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 only kept this plan in his heart and did not reveal it to Yan Hui for the time being, lest he get too excited to sleep and call him every day to urge him…
In this way, Kang Chi can finally be a hands-off boss again!
Just after Kang Chi dealt with the affairs of Dahan Silicon Industry, Fang Qiming also received news that they successfully won the 30-year development rights of the resort at a price of 11.8 million, and the project also successfully passed the loan application, paying only 30% of the down payment.
So on the third day after Kang Chi returned to Dongyang, this resort under the banner of Daqin Optical R&D Base officially entered the transformation stage.
During this period, Kang Chi personally supervised the construction unit and asked them to carry out the transformation according to their own ideas. On the other hand, he used the learning machine to frantically learn the relevant knowledge of shale oil mining.
Speaking of shale oil, we have to mention the United States, which has the most mature shale oil mining technology in the world. They were once banned from exporting oil by Camel in the 1970s.
That year, their GDP fell by 5.7%, industrial output fell 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 2008, thus jumping from an oil importing country to an oil exporting country.
The way that the United States mines shale oil is mainly hydraulic fracturing, that is, drilling a pipe into the shale layer, and then injecting a large amount of water under high pressure, breaking the rock through water pressure, and squeezing out the oil and gas inside.
After years of technical accumulation, the fracturing method has been developed by them to be relatively mature and reliable, and the mining cost is basically controlled between US$30-50. When the international oil price is higher than this mining cost, the value of shale oil begins to play out.
As for China, we actually have some shale oil extraction technology, but it is still a little behind that of the United States. In addition, the geological structure is different, and the cost is generally 50-80 US dollars, or even higher. Most of the time, the international oil price is actually in this range, so it is indeed not as cost-effective as buying it directly.
But this technology is not to say that it is cost-effective to buy it, so 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 30 US dollars, will the rich people in Camel dare to reduce production and sell oil so expensively?
So you don’t need technology,
You don’t have to rush to mine shale oil, but you must at least have it!
Otherwise, how much you sell it to depends on other people’s mood, and you have no bargaining power, so you can only be slaughtered.
However, in addition to the cost constraints, the exploitation of shale oil actually has several very serious problems, which has led to China’s failure to make a decision to make efforts in this direction.
First of all, hydraulic fracturing requires a lot of water resources.
It is estimated that each shale oil well consumes about 15,000 cubic meters of water, which is equivalent to the daily water consumption of a medium-sized city.
Secondly, after the water is pressed down, it is easy to pollute groundwater resources, and it may also cause geological disasters such as earthquakes and ground subsidence.
Finally, the fracturing method can only squeeze out the part of oil and gas that is easier to squeeze out. When the oil that is easy to squeeze out is gone, it is necessary to immediately change to another place to drill again, which is very wasteful.
After understanding the fracturing method of M country, Kang Chi decisively gave up this primitive and rough mining idea.
He is a systematic man, why must he follow the ideas of old M.
He can make bold assumptions and verify them carefully.
IfIf a civilization with extremely advanced technology is asked to mine shale oil, they will definitely come up with countless collection plans, and any one of them will definitely beat the fracturing method.
So Kang Chi only needs to use science fiction thinking to boldly assume a plan, reversely deduce the most primitive version of this plan, and then build it for upgrading.
When it comes to science fiction + mining, the first thing Kang Chi thinks of is the mining robot.
Collecting resources through robots should be the most common, closest to reality, and easiest to achieve in science fiction novels and movies. Well, it doesn’t have to be humanoid,
The appearance of that thing is too limited. It’s okay to pose in the movie, or make it into a partner or nanny type,
It has no practical value in the industrial field.
It can expand the scope, just a mining machine.
So, what kind of mining machine can complete this task? Soon, Kang Chi had a rough idea.
This thing can also find a prototype reference in reality, and China’s strength in this area is quite good.
That is the shield machine!
This thing used to be a bottleneck technology. In 1997, China spent 700 million to import two from Hans.
You should know that at that time, one yuan could buy 8 buns. Now a bun basically costs 2 yuan, and it is very small.
The price has increased more than ten times! So the 700 million at that time is at least 7 billion now, which is not an exaggeration to call it a sky-high price.
With the breakthrough of technology, the domestic shield machine is now directly sold for about 30 million, becoming a good helper for infrastructure maniacs.
Kang Chi’s idea is to transform a bionic machine similar to an earthworm based on the technology of the shield machine. It can wipe the oil while loosening the soil…
In this way, the problems and hidden dangers caused by the fracturing method can be almost perfectly avoided.
The more Kang Chi thought about it, the more he felt that this direction was quite feasible, so he immediately started to learn about shield machines and shale oil refining with excitement…
While Kang Chi was madly absorbing knowledge and began to try to design a prototype, his private laboratory was finally renovated with the efforts of the decoration company! Well, I’m finally going to move out of this small rental house…
I feel a little reluctant to think about it.
After all, I have lived here for so many years and have some feelings for it.
”Haha, Dr. Kang is finally willing to move out of my place?”
When the landlord heard that Kang Chi was going to quit the lease and move, he was immediately happy.
“Uh…”
Seeing the landlord’s surprised expression, Kang Chi couldn’t help asking: “Why do I feel that Sister Fang is eager for me to move out…”
”That’s not the case… It’s just that I haven’t raised your rent for so many years, right?”
”Well… 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 where Dr. Kang Chi studied hard, and then directly offer a price of four or five thousand?”
”Ahem.” Sister Fang, whose little thoughts were guessed by Kang Chi, was very upset. You was a little embarrassed, “It’s not that exaggerated, and I’m not that greedy. I’ll just raise it to two thousand at most.”
”Two thousand?” Kang Chi smiled, “Sister Fang, you are too narrow-minded!”
”! !?”
”These may all be protected cultural relics in the future. Are you willing to destroy this pattern for that little money?”
Sister Fang was stunned…
Well, actually I also want to write faster and more.
Who doesn’t want to make more money, right? But for this kind of science and technology articles, if you want to be a little more realistic, you have to check a lot of information. This is really a bit difficult for new authors who have a slow typing speed. In fact, I often stay up until three o’clock in the morning and can’t do three updates a day…
I hope everyone will be more tolerant of the update speed. I will try my best to write more chapters of 3K on the basis of 4K a day~ (End of this chapter)
