Chapter 119: Platinum-Iridium Alloys
"Wang Gong ......" Lai Gong wanted to speak and stopped.
"Something to say. Wang Buan said casually.
"How to solve the material of the cylinder block? The high-temperature corrosion-resistant alloy you provided to us can only withstand a high temperature of 1800 degrees!"
"I'm responsible for the raw materials. β
"Mixed combustion of diesel and nitrox gas at a temperature of at least 2000 degrees Celsius. If hydrogen is mixed in, the temperature may exceed 3,000 degrees Celsius!"
"You're right. Indeed it is. 3000 degrees is the last cordon. β
Wang Buan nodded with satisfaction.
Lai Gong's knowledge is still relatively rich. The data he gave was also relatively correct.
It seems that behind Liang Penghai's money and wine, and behind the scandals, there are also some talents. If it were not so, Qianzhou Heavy Industry would not have today's development. It is not easy for a private company to be able to do this in the large-scale machinery industry. Without a little technical accumulation, it is absolutely impossible.
In fact, Lai Gong and Qiao Gong are both retired old technicians. They were all excavated by Liang Penghai and exerted their residual heat.
When Lai Gong spoke, Qiao Gong next to him frowned and didn't say a word.
Of course, he suspected that there was something wrong with Wang Buan's design.
The data is outrageous.
It feels like blowing up a balloon.
Those who engage in technology are most afraid of this kind of unrealistic boasting.
It's easy to talk about it.
If you want to really make it happen, then it's difficult.
However, on the other hand, Qiao Gong is quietly thinking, is such a design really feasible?
Is Wang Buan talking nonsense, or is there really a solution?
He analyzes one problem at a time.
The first is high temperature and high pressure.
Burning hyper-oxygen gas in the combustion chamber, aren't you afraid of frying the tank?
The temperature must be at least above 2,000 degrees! What kind of cylinder can withstand alloy cast iron? Just kidding. Even if you don't blow up the cylinder, you have to pull the cylinder! Pulling the cylinder is equivalent to scrapping.
Such a simple question, Wang Bu'an really didn't notice?
You must know that Wang Buan is not an ordinary person.
He is capable of producing high-temperature corrosion-resistant alloys. The technology is at the forefront of the world.
Since Wang Buan has a deep understanding of high temperature and high pressure, it is impossible not to pay attention to the high temperature and high pressure problem of diesel engines.
The idea of burning pure oxygen has actually been put forward a long time ago. Unfortunately, there is no way to implement it.
At present, the withstand temperature of aero engines is only 1700 degrees.
The temperature of an ordinary diesel engine is actually a few hundred degrees, and rarely exceeds 1000.
Now, Wang Bu'an is coming up with a high temperature of 2,000 degrees. Not appalling, but whimsical and unrealistic.
Also, electrolyzed water is even more nonsense.
Electrolysis of water requires the use of two very specific metals: platinum. Iridium.
The former, when you buy gold and silver jewelry, you know, platinum, platinum, also known as white gold, that are very valuable.
At present, PT990 platinum is worth 180 yuan per gram.
Iridium, also a precious metal. The value is even more valuable than platinum.
Iridium pen, iridium pen, why is the quality so good, the price is so expensive? is because the nib uses a little bit of iridium alloy.
Using platinum-iridium alloy for water electrolysis is definitely a head-scratching show.
Only labs do that.
If it is large-scale production, 100 heavy platinum-iridium alloy rods can bankrupt Qianzhou Heavy Industry.
Also, how to solve the high-voltage electricity required for electrolysis of water?
Electrolysis of water requires high-voltage electricity.
Preferably high voltage above 100,000 volts.
If it's capable of reaching 1 million volts, that's the best.
However, how easy is it to reach a high voltage of 1 million volts in a very narrow space?
The high voltage of 10,000 volts is already very dangerous. The high voltage of 1 million volts may cause unimaginable disasters at any time. If you don't take protective measures, the consequences are unimaginable.
In addition, high currents are also a must. While maintaining extremely high voltages, it is also necessary to maintain a current of more than 100 amps.
So, how powerful is the battery?
Qiao Gong couldn't help but roll his eyes, and stopped talking.
"Don't curse. Wang Buan said lightly, "Let's discuss technical issues." β
"How to solve the problem of high-voltage electricity?" Lai Gong immediately asked.
"Hydrogen storage alloys. β
"However, the output voltage of the hydrogen storage alloy is only 380 volts at most!"
"The voltage is adjustable. β
"How?"
"I'm a manufacturer! Of course I can adjust. β
"Hmm......"
Lai Gong couldn't help but be stunned.
That's right, the hydrogen storage alloy is produced by Wang Buan.
Since it is a manufacturer, it seems to be a matter of course to adjust the output voltage of the hydrogen storage alloy.
"How much can you adjust?"
"One million volts. Is it enough? If you need to, you can adjust it to 10 million volts. β
"Enough, enough, a million volts is enough. β
"Then there's no problem. β
Lai Gong nodded slowly. There is indeed no problem with high voltage.
One million volts of high-voltage electricity, if it is used to electrolyze water, can indeed produce a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen in thousandths of a second.
The premise is that there must be a suitable catalyst. Or maybe it's called a catalytic rod.
"I want to ask, how to solve the problem of platinum-iridium alloy rods?" Qiao Gong finally spoke, and said cautiously, "Those are very precious metals. The cost of making catalytic rods is very high. β
"You don't necessarily need to use platinum-iridium. I have a way around it. Wang Buan said affirmatively.
"How to solve it?" Lai Gong asked after breaking the casserole.
"Confidentiality. Wang Buan said lightly.
That's right, it's secrecy.
I just can't tell you.
In fact, what Wang Buan used was indeed not platinum-iridium alloy.
It is not because platinum-iridium alloys are valuable and the cost is too high, but because their catalytic effect is not as good as that of new catalytic rods.
What is the new type of catalytic rod?
It is a beryllium-cesium-rubidium lithium alloy.
Beryllium, cesium, and rubidium lithium are all very chemically active rare earth metals.
Through a special combination, beryllium-cesium-rubidium-lithium alloys are able to burst out with stronger catalytic effects. It is used to electrolyze water, and the effect is more than 100 times that of platinum-iridium alloy.
As a rare earth metal, is the content of beryllium, cesium, rubidium, and lithium very small?
Not really. Rare earth metals are only relative to the earth's surface.
In the depths of the earth's mantle, the content of beryllium cesium rubidium lithium is more.
As long as it is a machine that produces alloys, it can easily extract minerals such as beryllium, cesium, rubidium, and lithium from the depths of the earth's mantle. Inexhaustible.
In Wang Buan's eyes, their value is about the same as iron ore.
"Boss Liang!"
"Boss Liang!"
As he spoke, someone suddenly shouted loudly.
Immediately, someone walked in from outside the hall. It is the Fang gradually of Hongcheng Heavy Industry.
This guy is actually in King's Landing Hotel.
It seems that he still came out of Liang Penghai's private room?
Strange, two in the same frame?
"You ......," Wang Buan said with a frown.
"I was going to invite him over and say a few nice things about him. Liang Penghai said stupidly.
"And then?"
"This guy colluded with foreign devils and dumped me. β
"Huh. β
Wang Bu'an nodded thoughtfully.
Liang Penghai is also sometimes naΓ―ve. Or maybe a little blind. Rushed to the doctor.
Even if you really want to get a high-voltage common rail system, then you can't ask Fang Jianming to come forward! Is the relationship between Hongcheng Heavy Industry and Qianzhou Heavy Industry very good? Why does Fang Jianming help you speak?
Just rely on a few young models you invited to show off?
Just rely on you to seal a red envelope?
Fang Jianming will not be willing to see you Liang Penghai rise.
The better the performance of Qianzhou Heavy Industry, the greater the pressure on Hongcheng Heavy Industry. Liang Penghai didn't understand such a simple truth.
Perhaps, in terms of tactics and marketing, Liang Penghai is indeed a good hand.
But when it comes to strategic issues, he can't.
The emergence of LPH-600 is actually a quick success.
If you want to pry open the market of Weichai, Yuchai, Shangchai and other old powerhouses, how easy is it to talk about it?
Especially taking the initiative to give his neck to a foreigner to pinch, it is even more of a mistake.
If it is Wang Buan's opinion, it must be to consolidate his own market segment.
The domestic high-pressure common rail system is not unusable.
According to the report, the electronically controlled diesel high-pressure common rail system made by Liaoyang β Fresh Air Technology has a very good effect!
As long as you get the hardware right, the software is a little worse, it's okay.
After all, the most important thing for Chinese people is hardware!
As long as your hardware is strong enough and durable enough, the market will definitely open up step by step.
If that were the case, it wouldn't be as difficult as it is today.
It's hard to ride a tiger, but it's not comfortable.
Especially after Fang gradually appeared.
"Lao Liang, I've done my best. Fang gradually said with a smile.
"Thank you!" Liang Penghai said with a tense face.
"Actually, you don't need toads to eat swan meat! β
"You're afraid I'm stealing your market. Right?"
"You're a man. How do you talk like that? Am I that kind of person?"
"Of course you're not...... People!"
"You!"
Fang Wanming's face was ugly.
Liang Penghai, this kid, actually dared to humiliate him in public? How old are you Qianzhou Heavy Industry?
Hongcheng Heavy Industry has tens of billions of assets, and Qianzhou Heavy Industry is only how much?
You can't even reach a fraction of mine, what are you arrogant?
"Liang Penghai!" Fang Yanming said coldly, "I came to the banquet today to give you face." You don't want a dog to bite Lu Dongbin, you don't know the hearts of good people. β
"I misread you!" Liang Penghai said angrily, "I knew earlier, I wouldn't have invited you if I invited a dog!"
"Good!good!good!" Fang Yanming laughed angrily, "You have to remember what you said today!"
"That's what I said! I won't invite you if I ask for a dog!" Liang Penghai also broke out.
