Chapter 682: Desert Turns Waste into Treasure
In the autumn of October, the rice begins to turn yellow and the leaves begin to fall. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info breeze, with a hint of coolness. Wearing a white shirt and black pants, and holding a stack of papers, Villelet arrived in Henry's office.
"Your Majesty, this is information on the establishment of schools in African countries!"
Willett gently placed the document on Henry's desk and said, "According to our current statistics, 207,000 schools have been included in the project, including 198,000 ordinary primary schools, 5,000 regular high schools, 550 adult high schools, 1,000 junior colleges, 2,000 technical schools, and 450 universities!!
"Well, very good!" Henry nodded.
Welllight continued: "Williams Electronics Group is working hard to produce projectors, and in addition, in order to build a computer room for every school and let African children have access to the Internet, Hongnian Technology is mass-producing Hongnian computers!"
"Well, it's time for African kids to see the world, too!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, only through the Internet can they broaden their horizons, and after that, they will know that there are so many developed and rich places in the world!"
Henry smiled: "Yes, at the same time, let them know that it was the Williams Empire that gave them the opportunity to go to school and change their lives, and let them know that the Williams Empire is the richest, most powerful and most trustworthy country in the world!"
"Of course, as you wish, Your Majesty, these students will be grateful to you and the Williams Empire in the future!!"
"Haha, if that's the case, then it's the best!By the way, dear Villeret, what else is in the document, you can go on!" Henry closed his eyes slightly, leaned back in his chair lazily, enjoying the feeling of the breeze, and reading the document by himself was not as comfortable as listening to Villeret's voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Willy nodded, "In view of the arduous construction task, Alpha and the 3D printing company ZCORP have jointly developed a 3D printing engineering vehicle called the 'Miracle Robot', which has a 23.5-meter-long robotic arm with a 3D printer nozzle installed on the arm to print houses. The floor height of the teaching building shall generally not be less than 3.3 meters, assuming 3.5 meters, then the 'Miracle Robot' can build a 6-story teaching building!"
"The working speed of the miracle robot is very fast, and it can print a two-story house with a height of about 230 square meters within 24 hours! At present, cement concrete can be used as a material, according to the pre-design of the design drawing, high-density, high-performance concrete can be sprayed with a 3D printer nozzle, and the walls, compartments, decorations, etc. can be printed layer by layer, and then the basic structure of the whole house can be completed with a robotic arm. The whole process is controlled by a computer program. To save building materials, the walls printed by the Miracle robots are hollow and, while lighter, have a strength factor of about 10,000 psi (i.e., 10,000 pounds of pressure per square inch) – far more than the walls of a traditional house, and save 20%-25% of money and 25%-30% of the material!
By using 3D printers, the Miracle robot will save 45% to 55% of labor, and accordingly will use less energy and emit less carbon dioxide, which not only greatly reduces the cost, but also greatly improves the speed!
The Miracle robot can also make building components into any shape as needed, not necessarily in a traditional straight line, for example, it can give the unique appearance of curved or wavy walls, which not only enriches the aesthetics of the building, but also meets the economic and environmental benefits. In addition, it can also play a role in the reconstruction of disaster areas and the transformation of slums!" said Welllet, after a pause, "It has a lot of market prospects, especially for the real estate industry!!
Henry nodded and said, "Well, yes, with the Miracle robot, building a house in the future will not only be faster and more beautiful, but also more cost-effective!" Henry paused and asked, "How much does a Miracle robot cost?"
"About $65,000. Villewlett replied.
"Then even if it costs $100,000, there must be a company willing to buy it!" Henry muttered.
"Of course, with the Miracle robot, we can save a lot of money for real estate companies!" Villewlet said with certainty, "However, the current production capacity is insufficient, even we are not enough, and Alpha is expanding the factory!"
At this time, Henry pondered in his heart, the Miracle robot is an engineering vehicle, which is actually not much different from the 3D printing vehicle on the moon, but it has been improved a lot and the accuracy of printing has been improved.
"Welllet, you can remember to inform Alpha and let them develop a drone 3D printer. In addition, if we want to build a building with 7 floors or more, the drone 3D printer can work with the Miracle robot to solve the pain point that the length of the robot arm is not enough!
"Okay, Your Majesty, then I'll go and inform Alpha now!"
"Well, go ahead!"
After Villewlet left the office, Henry got up and poured himself a glass of red wine, and as he drank it, he pondered a question: it would be great if building materials could also be very cheap!
What is the biggest impression of Africa?
Poverty? desert?
Yes, both of these are available, and there is a great correlation between the two. If the soil is fertile, Africans can farm, and they will not be poor enough to starve to death, but is the soil fertile? The soil is not fertile, and the desert occupies a large area, so Africans always starve to death.
If the sand in the desert can be made into building materials, then the desert will be valuable! The most important point is that Henry bought so much desert and will build cities on it in the future, it is impossible to say that the building materials are transported from far away, so it is time-consuming, laborious and costly, and it must be made of local materials!
It's just that the sand of the desert is too fine to be used to build houses. As a result, Henry was faced with a huge dilemma, and he had to figure out how to turn sand into a safe and stable building material!
Immediately, Henry called Williams Super Materials and instructed him to go on with his request!
