Galactic Tech Empire

Chapter 69 X-ray Base
The Spring Festival has just passed.

2 month 18 day.

The hotels in Shanmei were suddenly full, especially the Paris Hotel, Tiancheng Hotel, and the Miramar Hotel under the Planetary Infrastructure Corporation.

All were crowded with bidders for large X-ray laser projects.

Representatives or CEOs of hundreds of related companies came to Shanmei to participate in the bidding meeting.

Of course, there are also many media who have obtained first-hand news also sent people over.

The preliminary bidding was completed in one morning, and the next step was the review of Yinhe Technology.

Huang Haojie also treats these bidding companies equally, whether they are state-owned enterprises or private enterprises.

However, five companies have already been confirmed, because there are no competitors for the bidding parts of these five companies.

During the subsequent review, Huang Haojie did not directly choose the one with the lowest price. After all, the low quotation may mean that the technology may not be good, or he may have cut corners.

It took more than a week for Huang Haojie and the researchers of Yinhe Technology X-ray Laser Laboratory to finally determine 32 winning bidders.

"Old Li, these are the list of winning bidders, you go and inform them."

Li Jianhua quickly took the list and went to arrange the notices.

Huang Haojie turned his chair around.

Staring at Shanmei's map, he finally decided to build a large X-ray laser base in Luhe County.

After all, Luhe County, with its mountainous terrain, can isolate the X-ray radiation to a certain extent. At the same time, the population here is relatively small, which is convenient for migration.

Of course, it can also be built in the Northwest region. The problem is that Yinhe Technology really has no foundation there, and electricity consumption is also a huge problem.

It consumes tens of billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. If you don't generate electricity yourself, the electricity bill will be too much.

The cost is already very high, and the problem of electricity bills is even higher.

Previously, Huang Haojie calculated the cost of the iron-silver superconductor based on the cost of Yinhe Technology's own power generation. If it is based on the electricity bill of Dongtang Power Grid, the cost will double.

Therefore, building wind power plants by ourselves can effectively reduce production costs.

Of course, mountains can only isolate radiation to a certain extent, but other radiation protection facilities are essential.

After all, the damage of ionizing radiation to the human body is very extensive and difficult to predict.

The impact of radiation on the body, due to the influence of many factors, the clinical responses are also varied.

The radiation damage to the human body is called the somatic (noumenon) effect when it appears on the subject itself.If it affects the offspring of the exposed person, it is called a genetic effect.

Long-term exposure to X-rays will cause many harms to the human body, such as: autonomic nervous dysfunction, low hematopoietic function, lens turbidity, sperm production disorders, and even tumor induction.

Damaged cells, tissues, and organs can also cause secondary damage to the body, causing a series of biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, functional disorders, and pathological changes in the body. Severe damage can lead to body death.

Clinical symptoms that may be caused by X-ray radiation include fatigue, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sleep disturbance, memory loss, hyperhidrosis, palpitation, etc.; followed by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and abdominal distension; a few people have toothache and gums that bleed easily, but there is no obvious Skin bleeding spots and ecchymosis; some people are prone to colds, low back pain, joint pain, etc.

Similarly, X-ray radiation can cause serious effects on the fetus. The harmful effects in the fetus can be divided into lethal effects, teratogenic effects, severe mental retardation and carcinogenic effects.

Obviously the hazards of X-rays are no joke, these are small doses of X-ray radiation.

The large-scale X-ray laser that Yinhe Technology will build is a high-power X-ray. The radiation hazard is even more terrifying. If no protective measures are taken, no one will be willing to go to work at the X-ray base.

Therefore, the three companies responsible for the construction of protective measures that won the bid this time are all companies with the highest prices.

This protective measure alone increased the original plan of 60 billion yuan by 7 million yuan.

After all, X-rays are high-energy rays, and their penetrating power is amazing. Even the blocking effect of lead blocks is not particularly good.

Many composite materials must be used to build the isolation layer. After discussing with the laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie decided to build three layers of isolation layers, namely the radiation-proof special reinforced concrete layer, the lead alloy layer, and the composite material radiation-proof layer.

And once the X-ray is activated, no one can exist within a radius of two kilometers from the core area.

Of course, to do so, Yinhe Technology must use large-scale automation equipment and industrial robots for remote control.

Even if you go in for inspection or maintenance, it must be when the X-ray laser stops working.

As for the staff who went inside, those special protective clothing cost more than 20 Chinese yuan for a set.

But Huang Haojie still bought it. After all, if he doesn’t buy it now, it will be more troublesome in the future. If the staff is exposed to radiation hazards and suffers from diseases such as cancer, it will not be good for Yinhe Technology’s image.

There is a bottom line for being a human being, and this kind of money cannot be saved.

Obviously, the investment in this large-scale X-ray laser project has exceeded Huang Haojie's previous budget.

He made a preliminary estimate, and the total reached 78 billion Huayuan.

In addition, low-temperature refrigeration equipment, high-pressure pressurization equipment, and special magnetic field control equipment are needed next.

Adding these things and other miscellaneous things, the total investment is expected to reach about 135 billion Chinese yuan.

If it weren't for the 237.5 billion Huayuan order placed by Dongtang Power Grid just now, he really wouldn't dare to play like this.

These scientific research projects are really burning money, not 1 to [-], but [-].

If this project is completed, once the large X-ray laser is activated, it will consume 500 million kWh of electricity in one hour, and 1.2 million kWh in a day.

Just thinking about it can make people's scalp tingle. This is really not something that ordinary companies can afford.

Another issue is the spare parts of the laser. After discussing with the laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie felt that if the laser is operated for a long time, the laser head and other components of the laser will age very quickly, which is another huge expenditure.

He is calculating.

Beep... Suddenly the phone rang.

"Hey! Zhiqiang!"

"Boss, I have already found out about Zhai Shaojun and Huang Zefu. This time I was negligent. I am very sorry!"

Listening to Wang Zhiqiang's words of sincerity and fear, Huang Haojie said lightly:

"Be more careful in the future, and deal with those two people according to the company's regulations!"

"Yes! I have already fired the two of them, and I also fired a few people they brought along."

"Well! I believe you can handle it well. If you have nothing else to do, go get busy!"

"Boss, thank you very much for your trust."

"Ok!"

Hearing Wang Zhiqiang's gratitude, Huang Haojie hung up the phone, no matter whether it was false or true, what he needed was Wang Zhiqiang's attitude.

Obviously, Wang Zhiqiang's handling attitude made him quite satisfied. If Wang Zhiqiang came to intercede just now, then Huang Haojie would definitely not let him continue to be the president of Orion Company.

"Brother Jie, your coffee!" The little secretary handed a cup of instant coffee to his desk.

Although Huang Haojie already has tens of billions of dollars in assets, he still can't change his previous habits.

He still likes to drink instant coffee. After taking a sip of the instant coffee at just the right temperature, Huang Haojie looked at the booking status of Surging and Elegant.

It is still relatively optimistic to find the booking situation of Surging and Elegant.

As of February 2 across the country, a total of 23 surging and elegant electric vehicles have been booked, of which the Lingnan region has the most orders, reaching 3187.

It may have something to do with Yinhe Technology being a Lingnan company, or it may have something to do with the relatively complete coverage of charging stations in Lingnan.
