Chapter 350: Han Tang Technology's super material
Although materials are the key to determine whether a country is strong and advanced, the war is ultimately about mass production, and the king is the one with large quantities and full control.
So it is inevitable that limited money will be used to invest heavily in infrastructure and economic development in the near future.
If you want to change all this, only when Daxia has money can he spare no effort to increase investment in the field of basic materials.
So Hantang Technology wants to have advanced special materials and metal materials available, then Hantang Technology can only rely on itself in the end.
"Chen He, how much is our monthly investment in material research and development?"
Lin Xuan asked a key question.
Regarding this, Chen He on the side picked up his notebook and glanced at the content on it, and then slowly replied:
“Our material research investment last month was 30 million US dollars, and the current research mainly includes metallic materials and non-metallic materials.
Among them, non-metallic materials are special ceramic materials, super tempered glass and rare earth permanent magnet materials.
Metal materials are refractory alloys, wave-absorbing alloys, elastic alloys, expansion alloys, and rare earth alloys. "
“Is it only $30 million a month?”
I heard that there are so many materials research projects, but the total expenditure is only 30 million US dollars, which is indeed a bit small.
After all, materials are known as big money burners. Now that there are so many materials research and investment projects, the result is only 30 million US dollars, which is indeed a little low.
After slightly frowning, a flash of determination flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes, and he slowly said:
"The research on materials can't just rely on our Hantang Technology itself. If we want to meet the needs of materials quickly, we must be flexible!
Next, you are responsible for collecting information about which institutions are currently capable of conducting material research in China.
We can cooperate with them. We invest funds and scientific research equipment and they produce people. The ownership of materials belongs to us, and they can have reputation and use rights.
As for this funding, it is currently tentatively set at 200 million US dollars per month. As for our income, we will increase investment in basic materials in the future.
There is no upper limit on the specific investment amount. In short, the material research funding should be satisfied first! "
"This?!"
When Chen He heard Lin Xuan's words that there was no upper limit and priority funds were met, he immediately looked at Lin Xuan in shock.
Because this represents the investment of Hantang Technology in basic materials in the future, which may reach hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars every month!
"But relying on others alone is not reliable, maybe I should take action."
Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.
In fact, Hantang Technology also has a super material that is very powerful and has a wide range of uses, not much weaker than that special alloy.
This super material is the super tempered glass of Hantang Technology!
Hantang Technology's super tempered glass has good impact resistance, super hardness, and super strength.
Super corrosion resistance, super structural stability, super thermal stability and super high smooth wear resistance.
This super tempered glass has so many good properties, theoretically, if it can be used to make a machine, the machine may have super durable properties.
But it is a pity that such a powerful material cannot be used on precision instruments, because super tempered glass cannot be processed twice!
If you want to process, you can only process and shape the original glass, and the original glass is ordinary glass before tempering.
From the surface point of view, if you want parts, you can directly manufacture the desired glass in the original glass period, and then perform super tempered glass treatment.
But this is not practical, because the original glass after shaping will be slightly deformed in the process of super tempered glass.
This slight deformation is not a problem in ordinary application scenarios, but this slight deformation is a fatal problem in ultra-precision machines.
So if you want to use super tempered glass to build machines, it can only be applied to large machines that do not require high precision.
So although Hantang Technology has super tempered glass and materials that can be called super gods, there is no way to use such good materials on ultra-precision machines.
Of course, it is currently impossible to apply it to super-precision machines, but Hantang Technology has not given up its efforts in this regard.
Among them, the super tempered glass research team has another goal besides developing the next generation of super tempered glass.
This goal is how to solve the problem of slight deformation of the original glass sheet in the process of super tempered glass.
Once this problem is solved, Hantang Technology will be able to use super tempered glass to manufacture many ultra-precision instruments and machines.
By then, Hantang Technology will be able to use super tempered glass to manufacture many ultra-precision machines.
At that time, it will be no problem to manufacture ultra-precision machines such as a new generation of lithography machines and etching machines, four-axis and five-axis joint control machine tools, and even CNC centers.
After all, super tempered glass has many characteristics that are far superior to metal alloys, and has many advantages that metals do not have!
"Maybe I should take action to speed up the research and development of super tempered glass."
Lin Xuan murmured, preparing to develop a real smartphone while pulling out his hand to solve the inevitable slight deformation of the original glass after super-tempered glass
If Lin Xuan can successfully develop it, super tempered glass will be able to replace many special metal materials, which is undoubtedly great news.
Even if the machinability after this is not as good as ordinary metal materials, as long as this is solved, the national power of Daxia will definitely be stronger!
"Now go to the Han and Tang Research Institute."
After talking, Lin Xuan has already made a decision, and is going to the Hantang Research Institute to see the latest progress in super tempered glass.
"Okay, I know."
Chen He agreed, and then went to prepare Lin Xuan for the trip.
…
"boss."
After arriving at the Han and Tang Research Institute, an old man who had been prepared for a long time and was about fifty years old slowly came up to say hello.
This old man is wearing a white coat of a scientific researcher, with thick glasses on the tip of his nose, he looks like a scholar at first glance.
"Dr. Qian."
Lin Xuan greeted with a smile.
This Dr. Hu is the vice president of the Hantang Research Institute and is in the same position as Hu Zhixin. He graduated from Harvard University, and his name is Qian Tong.
He was previously engaged in the research of high-performance alloys in the Xia Ke Academy, and has rich experience in research and development. He can be regarded as a master in the field of materials research.
But unfortunately, he didn't create any achievements enough for him to be named an academician, so he was not named an academician.
But this is also normal. Material research is a gamble, and it takes time and a lot of money to experiment if you want to produce results.
