Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 2343 Oil Exploration Satellite
The store had just reached closing time and was preparing to close its doors.Niu Xiaoqiang tipped the waiter fifty dollars to extend the business hours.

Zhang Xiaolan picked out a few bikinis with very little fabric, then took Niu Xiaoqiang's car to the supermarket, bought enough food and drinks for the two of them and the bodyguards to eat and drink for five days, and then the two drove directly to the pier and boarded the yacht .

Xie Jun and others helped move the ingredients purchased by the two to the boat, and then Xie Jun and other bodyguards also boarded the yacht.

They live on the first and second floors of the yacht. The top floor is the private space of Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan. If there is no emergency, no one is allowed to disturb them.

After Xie Jun arranged the residences of the bodyguards, he got up and went to the cockpit, and undertook the work of sailing.

Under Niu Xiaoqiang's instructions, Xie Jun drove his yacht away from the port and headed for the relatively warmer southern waters.

Niu Xiaoqiang is really ready to take a good rest, because soon he will personally participate in the research and development of new oil exploration technology.

Ever since he made a promise to Rockefeller and others, Niu Xiaoqiang has been paying close attention to the progress of this research and development project, and he will personally solve any problems encountered.With his participation and the joint efforts of several developers, the project has made great progress.

According to the research and development progress, there are still five or six days at most, and this project is about to undergo a large-scale actual testing phase.Because the matter is so important, Niu Xiaoqiang dare not neglect, he is going to get the relevant work in place before he returns to China to visit his relatives.

In order to devote himself to the next busy work in a better state, Niu Xiaoqiang planned to take a good rest, and by the way, he could also accompany Zhang Xiaolan, which was a double win.

The yacht they took was wandering in the open sea for several days in a row, and they had a great time. Both Niu Xiaoqiang and Zhang Xiaolan felt like they couldn't think of leaving.As a result, the two played for two more days and returned to Boston two days later than the scheduled date.

Niu Xiaoqiang sent Zhang Xiaolan to the airport and told her to pay more attention to her health before returning to MIT.

Several members of the R&D team had been waiting for him for a long time. As soon as Niu Xiaoqiang came back, they submitted a list to him.

All the equipment listed on this list are the equipment needed for the next test and demonstration work, some of which cannot be bought in the market at all, and can only be designed and manufactured by themselves.

Niu Xiaoqiang reviewed the list in detail, and quickly divided the equipment on the list into three types.

The first is the type that can be purchased relatively easily, the second is the type that requires a little effort to purchase, and the third is the type that needs to be designed and manufactured by yourself.

He handed over the first type to the Hunter Company to purchase, the second type entrusted Professor Watson to help purchase, and the third type required him to design it himself with several assistants, and then entrusted manufacturers with relevant capabilities to manufacture it.

From then until Christmas, Niu Xiaoqiang stayed with several assistants.Everyone discusses related technical issues together, and thinks about solutions to the problems together.

Three days before Christmas, Niu Xiaoqiang and others finally completed the design work.He gave a few assistants a five-day vacation, and then shuttled back and forth between Packard Motors and MIT's Advanced Materials Lab with blueprints in hand.

For those spare parts that need to be made with large-scale processing equipment, Niu Xiaoqiang processes them by himself, and for those parts that require high-end composite materials for casting, Niu Xiaoqiang borrows the laboratory of MIT to make them.

Niu Xiaoqiang's work efficiency is higher than others, so it only took him two days and two nights to complete the manufacturing of spare parts.

Then he personally assembled the purchased spare parts and self-produced spare parts, and finally built an infrared electromagnetic wave detection satellite specifically for oil.

Similar satellites have actually appeared more than ten years ago, and they are called "Earth Resource Exploration Satellites". However, the accuracy of such satellites developed by other companies is relatively low, and they are easily interfered by other electromagnetic waves. Obtain relevant detection data.

The satellite developed by Niu Xiaoqiang is different. The theoretical exploration accuracy of this satellite is at least ten times higher than that of resource exploration satellites launched by other companies, and the anti-interference ability has been improved by dozens of times. Far more than other similar satellites.

Of course, this satellite is not perfect, and it also has some shortcomings that cannot be eliminated.For example, the detection depth is very limited, and it can only detect with high precision three to 4000 meters below the surface. If the depth exceeds 4000 meters, the detection accuracy of the satellite will be greatly reduced, and there is basically no reference value at all.

Another example is that this satellite is somewhat sensitive to temperature. This is mainly because the performance of the sensors installed on the satellite is not good enough.As long as the temperature is between minus [-] degrees and minus [-] degrees, the detection accuracy of the satellite is the highest. Once it exceeds this range, the accuracy will be affected by the sensor. The greater the temperature difference, the greater the accuracy. Low.

It is precisely because of this shortcoming that this satellite cannot play a role in many areas. For example, in the Middle East where the climate is harsh but the oil reserves are extremely rich, this satellite is basically useless.

However, in other places where the temperature conditions are not too harsh, this satellite can still play a huge role, and it has a strong detection ability for those oil deposits on the shallow geological surface.

Although there is a big gap between the performance of the satellite and Niu Xiaoqiang's original idea, this is already the highest level Niu Xiaoqiang can achieve so far.It's not that his personal technology is not good, but that the overall technological level of all mankind is not high enough, making Niu Xiaoqiang unable to use the high-tech equipment he envisioned.

Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't have much time to participate in this plan, and there are many other things waiting for him to do.So he can only make do with it and see if he can use this satellite to detect the oil fields hidden on the surface of the site.

Niu Xiaoqiang feels that the probability of success is still very high. With such a large land area in the world, there will always be oil fields with shallow geological surfaces. As long as the temperature conditions are suitable, this satellite should be able to find something.

Niu Xiaoqiang had never been in contact with satellite technology before, and this time he had to rely on the help of several right-hand assistants to complete the design and manufacturing work.

After the satellite was assembled, Niu Xiaoqiang immediately called Rockefeller's private phone number.
