Chapter 224 This is a good reason!
”Super neodymium magnet?”
”Well, I got this by chance when I was researching electric motors.”
”…”
Is it okay to get it by chance? Cai Yaobin asked in silence: “What is the magnetic force level of this super neodymium magnet?”
”N90.”
”90?!”
Cai Yaobin was shocked again!
With high-energy-density lithium batteries, the energy problem of the electromagnetic catapult has been solved.
Now there is an N90-level magnet…
He simply couldn’t imagine how powerful the electromagnetic catapult would be when these two were combined!
However, as the leader of the equipment procurement department, Cai Yaobin sometimes values cost rather than performance.
If the cost is too high, then no matter how high the performance is, it is just a product that can only stay in the laboratory.
Of course, if the performance is really amazing, even if it is a laboratory product that cannot be mass-produced, they may pay a huge price to order some to try.
And because the cost of making things in the laboratory is too high, it is necessary to play the victim at this time…
So Cai Yaobin hurriedly asked: “What about the cost?”
”The material cost is only 80% more expensive than ordinary neodymium magnets, but the processing cost is relatively high, so it is at least 1,500 yuan per kilogram, and I will sell it to you at double the price.”
You can tell from this price that it must be mass-produced!
As long as it can be mass-produced, even if the price doubles, it will not be too outrageous.
And it is normal for the price to double, after all, it costs money to do research and to make manufacturing equipment.
Therefore, Cai Yaobin immediately gave up bargaining with Kang Chi and playing the victim, and directly waved his hand and said: “No problem, 500 tons first!”
500 tons? Mr. Cai is really generous! Kang Chi suddenly thought of the voiceover: “The money has arrived, 1.5 billion yuan!”
Cai Yaobin bought so much at once, which might be enough to build ten electromagnetic catapults. The cost of an electromagnetic catapult system on an aircraft carrier is tens of billions. If it is spread out like this, it will not increase their burden too much.
And this kind of black technology material is definitely not only used on aircraft carriers, but also in many other places. Therefore, Cai Yaobin said that 500 tons would be “first”, which means that additional orders may be placed at any time in the future.
This made Kang Chi a little worried. If he frequently took out black technology, would the wallets of the military leaders be able to hold on…
However, Kang Chi made money in order to make more powerful things.
I believe that the higher-ups can see it clearly. As long as it is not too outrageous, they will definitely support him. This can be seen from the acquisition of Silicon Letter. It is simply giving him money to make trouble…
What’s more, the price Kang Chi gave is really not expensive. If these materials are used to make motors, the profit margin will be even greater.
So Kang Chi got the wool from Cai Yaobin at all!
After negotiating the price, the two sides discussed the specific delivery date. In addition, since this kind of strong magnetism requires special processing technology, Cai Yaobin has to send the design drawings of the relevant magnet shape to Kang Chi when he returns, so that he can process it according to the drawings.
Of course, the processing fee is calculated separately.
Speaking of design drawings, Kang Chi couldn’t help but have some thoughts, so he asked tentatively: “Um… I want to ask, do you sell your aircraft design drawings?”
”Aircraft design drawings?” Cai Yaobin’s eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, “Which one do you like?”
”Z-20.” ”Helicopter?” Cai Yaobin said a little disappointedly, “Why do you want the drawings of the Z-20?”
”This…” Kang Chi said shyly, “I told Chen Hai before that I want to build a helicopter as my own private transportation. Large aircraft and fighter jets are definitely not suitable, so I’m interested in the Z-20…”
Cai Yaobin nodded, and didn’t think it was a luxury for Kang Chi to want to fly an airplane as a means of transportation.
It’s normal for rich people to buy a private plane. What’s more, it’s even more luxurious for Kang Chi to waste time on transportation.
“But why do you have to have the blueprint?” Cai Yaobin then asked with some confusion, “We can just give you one.”
Of course, it’s for future upgrades~ Kang Chi’s mind turned quickly, and then he forced an explanation: “It’s more fulfilling to build it yourself, and you can also accumulateIsn’t it to accumulate experience in building airplanes?”
Accumulate experience in building airplanes?
This is a good reason! Cai Yaobin immediately showed a knowing smile: “No problem, I’ll have someone send it to you later!”
”What about the price?”
”We are one family, talking about money hurts feelings, and this thing can’t be bought and sold.” Cai Yaobin patted Kang Chi’s shoulder enthusiastically, “As long as you are not commercial, and then pay attention to confidentiality.”
”…”
”Oh, by the way, you also have to pay attention to safety.”
Speaking of safety issues, Cai Yaobin suddenly said seriously: “In fact, I wanted to talk to you about this issue before.”
”You also know that every new aircraft must undergo rigorous test flights, and only after confirming that there are no problems can it obtain an airworthiness certificate.”
”And it is normal to have accidents during test flights, so our new aircraft manufacturing and test flight bases are generally built away from cities and in places such as uninhabited areas. ”
”At that time, I heard that you wanted to build a laboratory in Dongyang that could build airplanes. The leaders above actually disagreed. The population here is too dense. If there is a problem during the test flight, no one can bear the responsibility.”
After listening to Cai Yaobin’s words, Kang Chi suddenly realized this problem.
Because he has a system, he can judge whether what he built is feasible through the system, but others don’t know…
So he really didn’t think about it.
”Then why did you agree later?” Kang Chi couldn’t help asking.
”This…mainly considering that your company and research team are in Dongyang, it is indeed more convenient for you to build an experimental base here, and you don’t have to run back and forth frequently.”
”In addition, although test flights cannot be carried out here, aircraft with airworthiness certificates can take off and land. You can build key components here first, and then transport them to the northwest for assembly. It is also much more convenient to transport them by air with a runway. ”
Actually, there is another key point.
Kang Chi built this laboratory with money not from the military.
As long as Kang Chi does not test the flight here, he can do whatever he wants.
Also, weapons of mass destruction cannot be made here…
Kang Chi also fully understood the questions and solutions raised by Cai Yaobin.
Originally, Kang Chi wanted to keep Cai Yaobin at home for dinner, but now he just wanted to go back to Yanjing as soon as possible to arrange the improvement project of the electromagnetic catapult system, so he politely declined Kang Chi’s invitation.
When sending him to the plane, Kang Chi couldn’t help asking again: “When you have improved the electromagnetic catapult system and installed it on the aircraft carrier for testing, can I come over to visit?”
”Of course,” Cai Yaobin nodded without hesitation, “wait for my good news!”
