Chapter 37: Black Gold
The second technology, not so much one, is more of a complete set, which includes technical information on microchip production, ultra-micro transistors, batteries and transparent screens, and so on.
These technical materials are not much different from the current production industry base, as long as Cheng Yuan spends some time to successfully produce.
However, what makes him feel helpless is that the raw materials for the production of these technical data are an existing graphene, and there are titles such as "King of New Materials" and "Black Gold"!
As a physics student, Cheng Yuan is very familiar with graphene, which is a two-dimensional crystal with a thickness of only one layer of atoms and composed of carbon atoms, which is stripped from graphite materials, and is very tenacious due to the characteristics of chemical bonds between carbon atoms: it can be bent to a large angle without breaking, and it can resist high pressure.
And because there is only one layer of atoms, the movement of electrons is confined to a plane, giving it entirely new electrical properties. Graphene is transparent under visible light, but it is not breathable. These characteristics make it ideal as a raw material for protective coatings and transparent electronics.
And graphene is the thinnest material, but also the strongest material, with a breaking strength 200 times higher than that of the best steel. At the same time, it has good elasticity, and the stretch range can reach 20% of its own size. Although various uses of graphene have been discovered, its utilization rate is mediocre, the manufacturing process is very difficult, and the requirements for equipment and cost are extremely high.
Therefore, graphene "has a bright future and a tortuous road".
It may be able to play a major role in the future, but this scenario is not to be imagined until several major difficulties are overcome. What's more, considering the huge cost of industrial renewal, the benefits of graphene are not enough for it to simply replace existing equipment!
This problem is the same as Cheng Yuan's smartphone system, everyone is used to the existing electronic products, if he comes up with a smartphone system, then if he wants to make it in large quantities, the huge cost of industrial renewal is something that many manufacturers dare not take the risk.
But even so, high-tech companies in various countries around the world are still applying for patents related to it, because they know that not being able to use it now does not mean that they cannot be used in the future. After getting the patent in advance, whether it is made or sold by yourself, it is a profitable business.
Although these patents are currently some superficial invention patents, if Cheng Yuan comes up with real practical application technology, then he will definitely be able to beat the other party to the ground, and he will not have to pay a penny of patent fees. But all these conditions are based on the fact that Cheng Yuan has his own factory.
The most important thing is that Cheng Yuan does not have the preparation technology of graphene in his mind, and the manufacturing process of graphene alone is completely difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! If the existing technology is used to prepare graphene, the cost Cheng Yuan does not need to think about it to know what the consequences will be.
"It seems that you have to start from the very basics, otherwise you can only look at it and not move it when you get a little more advanced technology in the future!" Cheng Yuan thought secretly, and also made up his mind that when the company made money, the first thing he would do was to buy a piece of land for his company, and then build a huge industrial park.
The company should have its own factory, a large laboratory, and his own laboratory!
Although it must cost a lot to build a huge industrial park, Cheng Yuan does not plan to complete this huge project in one go, after all, the matter is to build the company's independent factory step by step, and then build the company's buildings, laboratories and so on step by step.
After thinking about it, the car had stopped under the company, and Cheng Yuan, who had an idea in his heart, was full of energy.
Walking into the company, Cheng Yuan casually glanced at the busy employees in the office area, and walked directly towards Zheng Jia's office.
"Boss, you're back, what do you think?"
Seeing Cheng Yuan push the door in, Zheng Jia was a little surprised, she was familiar with Cheng Yuan's style, and when she saw Cheng Yuan coming directly to the office to find herself, it meant that he thought of something for him to do.
"Yes. ”
Cheng Yuan didn't care when Zheng Jia guessed his thoughts, he nodded and said solemnly: "I arranged a deputy for you, take her more with you in the future, after all, the development of our company will be faster and faster in the future, and you will definitely not be busy alone." ”
Zheng Jia was surprised, she did not resist Cheng Yuan's arrangement of a deputy for herself, after all, Cheng Yuan is the biggest helmsman of this company, and he cannot refuse the appointment even if she is the president of the company, and Zheng Jia believes that Cheng Yuan will not do anything that disappoints her.
She smiled and teased, "It's a woman?"
Cheng Yuan was stunned and blurted out: "How do you know?"
"Guess. Zheng Jia blinked and didn't give a specific explanation.
Seeing that Zheng Jia didn't say anything, Cheng Yuan was a little depressed, but he still explained his previous plans to Zheng Jia: "You contact the district government, we want to buy a piece of land and build our own factory." ”
When Zheng Jia heard Cheng Yuan's plan, she was stunned at first, but quickly reacted and asked, "Have you considered the location?"
As for buying land to build his own factory, this is Zheng Jia's idea for a long time, after all, Cheng Yuan's technology crystallization company is an industry, not those virtual game technology companies. Having your own factory is a must-do.
Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said: "Is there a bigger place near here, the factory is just starting, we will establish our own industrial park for the crystallization of science and technology in the future, and the company will also be placed there!"
Zheng Jia wrote down Cheng Yuan's thoughts, and then said: "I'll ask people to ask about this matter tomorrow, our company is very famous now, I think the staff of the district government will try their best to cooperate with us, otherwise we will move away and lose them." ”
Zheng Jia smiled very easily, this is the confidence of large companies, especially the current situation of science and technology crystallization.
Although Cheng Yuan's company does not have to pay taxes at present, but the company was established here, and stationed here, then the additional effect will definitely be self-evident, whether it is personnel employment or surrounding hotels, accommodation, entertainment and other facilities, will definitely be built around it, and the establishment of these buildings will bring huge benefits to the city.
This is the entry of a well-known company, which brings great influence to the city!
Especially when the company is still a local company, the effect will definitely be more powerful than that of a foreign company!
"You can just look at these things. Cheng Yuan had no objection to Zheng Jia's arrangement, he nodded, since he had decided to enter the graphene industry, he must get the preparation technology of graphene, which is the top priority.
Back in the office, Cheng Yuan did not immediately turn on the computer, but began to think, what kind of medium does he need to use now to extract the refining technology of graphene from the crystallization of science and technology?
The common methods for preparing graphene are mechanical exfoliation, redox method, SiC epitaxial growth method and chemical vapor deposition method
However, the existing four high-cost and inefficient refining technologies are obviously not in line with his vision.
Among the four methods, the mechanical stripping method is inefficient, the redox method is of poor quality, the SiC epitaxial growth method is too demanding and the efficiency is not very good, and they are still in the laboratory stage and cannot be mass-produced at all!
Only the last chemical vapor deposition method is currently the most likely method to achieve industrial preparation of high-quality, large-area graphene. The graphene prepared by this method has the characteristics of large area and high quality, but the cost is too high, and the process conditions cannot be reached.
After all, this method requires too many tools, such as plasma meters, infrared equipment, etc., and using this method, Cheng Yuan must also build a dedicated large-scale closed factory independently. And most importantly, what about people?
These things must be supervised by someone, and they cannot be ordinary workers who can be hired after simple training, and the workers he needs must have the corresponding technical knowledge.
Therefore, Cheng Yuan has never thought about the existing preparation technology, not only the personnel problem, but also a lot of the equipment required is high-end equipment that is prohibited from being imported into Huaxia, Cheng Yuan believes that he does not have so much ability, and he can quietly get those things to his own company.
This is not that Cheng Yuan is worried about being held accountable, but that he is worried that people will not sell it at all!
After all, if you can get such a device, it is definitely too late to raise your hands and welcome it, and when the time comes, you just need to submit the mechanical operation principle of the equipment or related instructions, and they will definitely welcome you to continue to do so.
Even if they can't figure out this information, can't they send someone to investigate it a few more times?
After all, Huaxia started from scratch and can catch up so quickly, although the country's cutting-edge scientists have made huge contributions, but it cannot be said that all of them are made independently by themselves, and many things are secretly imported from outside in the name of private companies.
Then it went through in-depth research, and finally developed it.
Due to the difference in materials, it always seems that the things of the country are backward compared to those of the West.
It's a powerless gap!
After all, materials and equipment are different, and the preservation of materials is more rigorous and simpler than the preservation of equipment.
"What the hell are we going to do?"
Cheng Yuan's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest of the chair, frowning.
"Hey, although it's good to directly use the existing thing template to obtain technology, but this is really a bit different from the technology obtained from the movie!" Cheng Yuan pondered and meditated, and really couldn't think of any good way to obtain graphene preparation technology, so he could only sigh in the end.
The technology obtained from the film is a full set of technical information, from the production of the most basic materials to the final production, everything is listed, and even some of the attention to detail in the production process is listed in a table for people to see at a glance.
But the two technologies he obtained last night were only the second half, and the front ones were completely absent.
Is there a difference?
Closing his eyes, Cheng Yuan once again entered the crystallization of science and technology. From the previous information, Cheng Yuan's understanding of graphene has been greatly improved, and he wants to try to see if he can use his current cognitive concept of graphene to extract relevant preparation technologies from scientific and technological crystallization.
