Genius of the Rules-Style System

While public opinion is hotly discussing Infinite Power Vehicles, Infinite Power Automobile Company is conducting open technology-related discussions with high-end partner companies and departments.

Five days passed quickly, and an announcement once again aroused international public opinion.

Space Information Technology Company, Advanced Compression Materials Company, the National Space Administration and Yixing Infinite Power Company jointly issued a research and development announcement on space light energy transmission technology——

"Academician Zhao led the development of space light energy transmission technology."

"This technology can transmit light energy from the sun's surface to the earth using space technology and be applied to a variety of fields."

"We have manufactured and launched a solar-circulating energy-gathering satellite, and the energy-gathering satellite is operating normally."

"At the same time, this technology has been applied to the civilian automotive field to create new unlimited power solar vehicles."

In just one hour after the announcement was made, all major domestic and foreign media reprinted and reported it, and public opinion at home and abroad was completely detonated.

"Is there really space light energy transmission technology? Can the light energy from the sun's surface be transmitted to the earth? This is amazing!"

"I saw a similar statement some time ago, and it seemed to be made by a CEO of a car company."

"It's the CEO, not the boss!"

"I know, I saw it, and I went over to criticize him, so I decided that this guy actually came up with the secret technology of breaking the news. Aren't you afraid of being jailed?"

“I didn’t expect this technology to be real!”

"The unlimited power car developed by Yixing Company uses this technology, right?"

"Definitely is!"

"Sure enough, it is infinite power! Using the light energy from the sun's surface to drive civilian cars, I always feel it is a bit wasteful."

"But because of this, we have the opportunity to have access to the highest technology!"

Foreign public opinion is also discussing, and their concerns are similar to those at home, and they all lament the advancement of technology.

Many people came up with a word——

Dyson ball!

"This is the real Dyson sphere technology, which directly wraps the sun with energy-gathering satellites and continuously supplies energy!"

"This is the real new energy. The previous new energy sources were really weak!"

"How can I buy a car with unlimited power? It is said that it is only available in country Z?"

“I don’t think I can buy it for the time being!”

After several parties jointly released an announcement on space light energy transmission technology, Yixing Infinite Power Company also issued a separate announcement about the latest Infinite Power car.

"The infinite power car uses light energy transmission technology. It uses the light energy transmitted from the sun's surface as energy and converts the function into electric energy to drive the motor. It can achieve unlimited power."

"So, the Infinite Power Car is an electric car powered by light energy."

"The unlimited power car will still be tested for about one and a half months. Our company will continue to release updates related to the launch of the car."

The news from Yixing Infinite Power Company did not surprise public opinion, but after the news was released, it still aroused heated discussions.

Many people have talked about buying unlimited power cars before, but the main reason is because the car is developed and manufactured by Yixing, and they bought it because of Zhao Yi's participation.

Now I am completely impressed by the advanced technology of unlimited power cars.

The technology of transmitting light energy from the sun's surface to cars on the earth sounds very advanced. Even if we put aside the performance of the car and only consider the close contact with this technology, many people are willing to pay large sums of money. .

Rich people don't care about the price of a car at all. They know that no matter how expensive the car is, it can't be too outrageous, and they have already made up their mind to buy it. Even if it is just to show off to their friends at home, it is worth it.

Many netizens at home and abroad have directly dubbed the Infinite Power Car as a "Dyson Sphere Car" because the space light energy transmission technology seems to be Dyson Sphere technology.

soon.

Some professionals have conducted popular science on this. Dyson ball technology and space light energy transmission are different. The main difference lies in the energy transmitted.

Dyson sphere technology is a technology that uses the high heat and energy of the sun's surface to achieve nuclear fusion reactions. Space light energy transmission is purely about transmitting light energy, rather than carrying out nuclear reactions and then transmitting it.

Although from a technical perspective, space light energy transmission is relatively low-end, most people think it is no worse than Dyson sphere technology, because space light energy transmission can already be applied to civilian cars, and it is obviously no worse than Dyson sphere technology.

Thinking from the perspective of technology application expansion, if it can be applied in the field of civilian automobiles, it will definitely be applied to other means of transportation in the future, such as ships, trains, and even airplanes, including satellites and space stations in space, and even, with the future Can be used to create power stations.

This vision of technological expansion caused a global effect, and the first reaction of the financial market was that the crude oil and natural gas index ushered in a plunge.

The stock prices of major international automobile manufacturers have also plummeted, especially those of traditional fuel-powered automobile manufacturers.

Many relevant institutions are no longer optimistic about fuel vehicles.

This is mainly due to the rise of the concept of new energy vehicles, and there is already an international consensus on banning fuel vehicles.

Previous new energy electric vehicles had many shortcomings and were still vigorously promoted by various countries. Space light energy transmission technology and unlimited power vehicles have dealt a fatal blow to traditional fuel vehicles.

Space light energy transmission technology can be said to make up for the shortcomings of electric vehicles.

That's not to say EV companies aren't affected.

For example, the stock price of the most popular electric car company in the world was already artificially high. As the stock price of the automobile industry fell, their stock price fell by nearly 50% in a week, and its market value was directly cut in half. It is higher than some traditional companies. Fuel vehicle companies fell even more sharply.

This is mainly because the battery industry has been significantly affected.

The financial effects brought about by the latest technology will cause some industries to plummet and others to rise sharply.

For example, solar panel companies.

For example, silicon material.

The former is a key industry for growth. The market is expected to greatly increase demand for solar cells in the future. Silicon materials are also experiencing a rise, but the increase is limited. This is mainly because silicon is so common, whether it is monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon. The cost lies in the extraction of manufacturing, not how valuable the material is.

After the technology related to Infinite Power vehicles is made public, what Yixing Infinite Power Company has to solve is the sales problem.

This is not a problem at all.

Just look at the reaction of public opinion and you will know that just the first batch of 10,000 cars was sold out on the day it was launched.

Yixing Infinite Power Company has just established a sales department. There are only a dozen people in the department, several of whom are technicians.

The sales department held a meeting and decided to focus on online ordering. They would create relevant sales pages and open ordering at specific times.

After Zhao Yi explained the follow-up work, he took a bus to the capital to attend a meeting. What he wanted to attend was a technical meeting on space light energy transmission.

Higher-level departments attach great importance to space light energy transmission technology.

Yixing Infinite Power Company has made a finished product of the receiving and converting end. The light energy receiving converter used in Infinite Power vehicles can provide a steady stream of more than 40 kilowatts of electrical energy.

This is something that needs great attention.

The light energy receiving converter weighs about 300 kilograms and can provide more than 40 kilowatts of electrical energy. The most important thing is that there is no need to supply raw materials, and the electrical energy will be continuously output.

You know, the average power of the space station's solar panels into electrical energy is only over 100 kilowatts.

Obviously.

This technology will be widely used in the future, but it will also be subject to certain limitations. The biggest limitation is the problem of electrical energy conversion power.

The senior management directly asked about the power issue.

If the problem of converting electrical energy into power can be solved, related technologies can be applied to aircraft or other fields that require high power.

Zhao Yi shook his head and said, "It is simply unrealistic to apply this technology in the aviation field, because the function of energy-gathering satellite transmission is limited. Even if the conversion rate is high enough, it cannot be luxurious enough to be used by aircraft that require high power. .”

"In addition, it is difficult to use electric motors to propel aircraft that need to operate at high speeds, at least not supported by existing technology."

"However, the main thing I want to talk about here is the issue of power conversion."

Zhao Yi stood up and expressed his attention to the problem, "In terms of power conversion, there are no technical problems. What is difficult to break through is the manufacturing process."

"The main production cost of our light energy receiving converter is on the silicon chip."

"The melting point of compressed single crystal silicon exceeds 7,000 degrees Celsius, and its strength and toughness are greatly improved. Our cooperative manufacturers cannot cut this material into ideal thin slices."

"So, the monocrystalline silicon inside the converter we manufactured did not exert its maximum conversion efficiency."

"Our compressed material technology is now far superior to manufacturing technology, so I suggest that we should consider expanding high-end compressed material companies to scale up the production of related structural materials and shift resources to the civilian manufacturing field."

"For example, using compressed materials to produce lathes with higher processing performance——"

Zhao Yi talked a lot in succession, most of which were related to manufacturing. What he said were all facts, which aroused the affirmation of other participants.

The compressed metal produced by Advanced Compressed Materials Company has greatly improved its melting point, strength and toughness.

This kind of material cannot fully play its role in the manufacturing field because the relevant manufacturing technology has not been improved.

Only higher-end compressed materials can be processed.

For example, cutting.

Ordinary cutting lathes are likely to be directly damaged when cutting high-strength compressed metal materials, and much of the corresponding processing requires manual operations.

This results in products manufactured that simply cannot exert their full effectiveness.

This is the case with the silicon wafer inside the light energy receiving converter. After the silicon wafer is manufactured, the surface is obviously uneven, and there are even traces of manual cutting in some places. The thickness is not up to standard at all, and is more than three times thicker than designed.

If there is corresponding manufacturing technology, the weight of the light energy converter can be reduced from 300 kilograms to 200 kilograms, and at the same time, the conversion efficiency can continue to improve.

The technical meetings organized by high-level organizations only focus on technology and involve the manufacturing of confidential compressed materials. To really make relevant decisions, several rounds of meetings will definitely be needed.

After the relevant meeting, Zhao Yixing led the Yixing team to discuss the manufacturing of the second energy-gathering satellite with several high-end corporate departments.

When the first energy-gathering satellite was manufactured before, the manufacturing issues of the second one had already been discussed. The discussions were all about cost and technology.

Since a large amount of technology and patent fees have been paid, manufacturing the second holding satellite only requires a fee of 200 million yuan, which will be paid to the space information technology company and the space agency respectively.

The cost of patented technology is greatly reduced, which also greatly reduces the cost of energy-gathering satellites.

The other core costs are materials and launch. The issue of materials still depends on high-level decision-making. When Advanced Compression Materials Company expands its scale, it will definitely be able to greatly reduce costs, rather than manufacturing materials in large quantities every time, it is like an experiment.

In addition, there is the launch cost.

The main cost of launching energy-gathering satellites is to escape the gravity of the earth, which requires the help of Z-wave devices on the space station.

The Z-wave device on the space station needs to be filled with energy every time it is used.

This process is very complex and prohibitively expensive.

So Zhao Yi thought of the original plan of ‘launching a high-power Z-wave satellite’.

The energy-gathering satellite is already in operation, and the next step is to launch high-power Z-wave satellites and establish space lanes.

Now there are no technical difficulties and there are no problems in manufacturing. The space agency mainly relies on ground launches, using large anti-gravity thrusters.

Before discussing with the space agency, Zhao Yi had already made detailed calculations.

They said that the high-power Z-wave satellite they want to build requires more than 1,500 kilowatts of electrical power. One Z-wave launch can establish a space shuttle channel from about 400 kilometers of space to the surface of Mars or the sun. The length is between 130 million kilometers and 200 million kilometers.

At the same time, the time to accumulate energy before each use is less than half a month.

If the power can reach 1800 kilowatts, the energy storage time can be reduced to one week, which can be said to be ‘able to support frequent use’.

Z-wave technology has matured.

The light energy receiving converter that converts 15 million watts of electrical energy is basically the converter on the car, expanded by more than 30 times in volume, and weighs about ten tons.

If compressed material technology is applied in the manufacturing field, more finely cut silicon wafers can be produced, and the electrical energy conversion rate is greatly improved, then the size of the light energy receiving converter can be reduced to less than 'fifteen times' and weigh about six tons. Will suffice.

Now that the technology for building high-power Z-wave satellites has matured, it is time to open space routes.
