Chapter 302: Laboratory Products
When the sky is bright, and the horizon is gradually turning white. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info The women were still sleeping beautifully on the soft beds, and Xu Yu had already driven towards the city of Pasadena, which is located northeast of Los Angeles. His laboratory for developing high-energy batteries is located there.
Pasadena may not be well-known under the aura of Los Angeles' City of Angels, but when it comes to one of the city's most famous schools, most people have heard of it, and it's the California Institute of Technology.
Caltech is one of the world's top science colleges, and its strong abilities in physics and chemistry are the envy of the world. The promised lab is located in the vicinity of Caltech, and most of its key researchers are from this prestigious institution.
High-energy batteries are not a science fiction thing, in fact, they have been widely used in many fields.
It's just that those high-energy batteries that have been put into practical use are too large to be used on the Iron Man armor. On the other hand, the energy efficiency is too low to power the powerful Iron Man armor. Not to mention that at this time, Xu Xu also added an energy cannon made by an alien planet to his armor.
Once activated, that huge consumption is simply not what the existing high-energy batteries can provide.
The energy used by the genuine Iron Man suit is actually from room temperature nuclear fusion. This kind of technology is not to mention the promise and the California Institute of Technology, and even the major national forces cannot do it.
Having this technology is almost the same as truly opening the door to the aviation age. Its development is even so difficult that it can only be achieved in movies.
He didn't believe that he could develop that kind of thing by investing his own money, and the money that countries had invested in this area was estimated to be higher than that of skyscrapers, and there was no reason to promise that he would be able to produce results after spending hundreds of millions. So his initial requirement was simple, a miniaturized high-energy energy supply that could be used.
"Where's the stuff?" The promise of speeding all the way soon came to the laboratory, and when he went in, he found the director and asked about the high-energy battery without even saying hello.
This thing is too important for him. The extremely powerful Iron Man armor and the Predator's shoulder cannon are his most powerful helpers. Now that I finally have the possibility of being able to restart, I can imagine the mood of the promise.
"Boss." The head of the laboratory is Charles, a senior professor in the Department of Physics at Caltech, who is also well-known in the field of international physics, especially in physics and electricity.
Charles was lured in by the promise of an attractive contract. He was promised an eight-figure contract, and if he could develop a miniaturized super-high-energy battery that could be used, Professor Charles and his research team would receive the huge prize.
"That's what we're working on." After changing his clothes and heading to the core test area, Charles pointed to a rectangular piece of battery in a thick glass case with gold electrodes and pale green tubes, "This is a typical laboratory result, and it is powerful." However, this kind of thing cannot be mass-produced at all, not to mention the cost of at least millions of dollars each, and it will take a long time to produce it in a laboratory with sufficient equipment and technology. ”
A gleam erupted in the promise's eyes, and his expression changed rapidly. He stepped forward and motioned for Charles to open the glass. He barely listened to Charles, and now his mind was completely occupied by the battery.
"How?" Promise stretched out his hand to hold the battery in his hand, and began to ask for the ring in his heart.
Compared to the professor at Caltech, Promise believes more in the ring from an unknown higher civilization at this moment. After all, the two sides are in completely different places.
"Low-power-toy toys." There was a deep disdain in the ring's voice, "It has no real value at all." But it's ready for you, enough time for your Iron Man armor to last for ten minutes. Of course, as long as you don't use shoulder cannons and high-energy beams. ”
"That's enough." Xu never thought that he would be able to develop something like a miniature ark in this world. Even if he promised to choose a master-level mechanical ability, he could only make the outer armor of Iron Man, but he was still at a loss for energy systems, artificial intelligence systems, and electronic technology.
The science and technology of the times are advancing at a high speed, and it is no longer the era hundreds of years ago when a genius's whim could drive scientific and technological progress. High-tech super-tech products are system integration, and by no means outstanding in one aspect. On this point, the promise is very sober.
"You're doing a great job." After packing the high-energy battery in his suitcase, Xu Xu looked at Charles with a satisfied face, "Professor, I have to admit that you are the best." ”
"It's also thanks to the big investment from the boss." Charles didn't learn the language skills of Huaxia, he was telling the truth.
Another way to say the so-called scientific research experiment is to burn money. Top-of-the-line tools and equipment, expensive materials, and astronomical salaries for high-level researchers, etc.
Without such a huge amount of investment, there is no way to get results. Looking forward to a pie-in-the-sky breakthrough in technology is simply an insult to scientific research and technology. This line of work is the fairest place, and if you don't invest, you will inevitably get a return. The so-called connections and so on don't have the slightest effect in this line of work.
Don't look at the high-energy battery now, but in fact, Charles, as the supervisor, knows it very well. Of course, this kind of laboratory output is very good, after all, it is normal for so many people to invest so much money to make a laboratory product.
However, the products in the laboratory are completely different from those that can be truly industrially produced. After all, it is impossible for a factory to really be in a laboratory. And if it can't be industrialized on a large scale, the actual significance of the product will be greatly reduced.
In fact, laboratories in various countries possess a dizzying state of advanced technology, which is about five to ten years ahead of the civilian technology available on the market. Some of the most advanced technologies are even twenty years ahead. However, most of these technologies are not mass-produced.
Not to mention the extremely high cost of production in the laboratory and the loss of materials and manpower, the long time alone is enough to make people collapse.
Xu promised to actually start investing in the laboratory's research plans when SC received huge financing. Constant purchase of new instruments, expensive experimental materials, and the hiring of well-established industry professionals. Hundreds of millions of funds have been smashed into the promises, and the initial results are finally seen now.
"This kind of stuff has to be produced non-stop, and the more the better." Xu was in a good mood at this time, and he was also very generous to Charles's team: "I have informed the financial advisor, and your bonus will be available in the afternoon." ”
"Boss." Charles stopped, his gaze under heavy glasses and promised, "Thank you for your support." It's just that what I want to tell you is that this product is a laboratory product, that is, a laboratory with advanced equipment and investment at any cost can barely produce it, but if you want to produce it in large quantities, it is not possible. Because it does not have the possibility of industrial production. This is true both in terms of cost and technical complexity. ”
"Can't be mass-produced?" Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and touched his chin, "Then if it is produced in a laboratory, what is the yield?" ”
"By the standards of the piece in your hand." Professor Charles held out his finger to the suitcase that Xu was carrying: "If you want to produce another piece, it will cost at least millions of dollars, and it will take weeks." ”
“...... Is it so difficult? It wasn't what Promise had thought, he thought he had found something to replace the miniature ark, but now it looked like he might have been happy a little early.
"Boss." Professor Charles explained: "The process of this high-energy battery in your hand is very complex, and the energy efficiency is definitely far better than all similar products in the world. If the cost of this kind of thing is not high and it can be mass-produced, it is estimated that it will not be our turn to develop it. ”
"That's just as well." Promise sighed softly, "It's better to have than nothing, it's a change in nature." You continue to produce, produce as much as you can. The money aspect is not to be considered, and I will ask my financial advisor to fully support your experiments. ”
Promise doesn't care about money. His investments everywhere are huge. Once short of money, they will choose to sell the shares of the SC company in their hands, anyway, the SC company is in the limelight now, and the stock price is also high. The promised wealth was terrifying, and he didn't need to spend much money himself.
Of course, the high-tech products in the laboratory cannot be mass-produced so easily. This is especially true of such high-energy batteries. It's not that other high-level laboratories can't do it, but it's that the high cost and cumbersome and complicated production process make mass production impossible at all. This kind of thing can only be kept in the laboratory.
But the promise is different. He only has one Iron Man suit, so he doesn't need much mass production, as long as he can have enough energy for his use. As for when it will be used, there is no specific plan in the heart of the promise. But at least not until he has a chance to return to the world of Iron Man.
This time, he promised to get the black technology of that world in his hands as much as possible no matter what. It will definitely not be chased by S.H.I.E.L.D. people like last time. He remembered this matter clearly, and he always thought in his heart that if he had the chance, he would have to return it!
Promise is not an open-minded person. The humiliation left on him by S.H.I.E.L.D. he never forgot it.
Although the ring has never explicitly stated anything, he has always vaguely felt in his heart that he will eventually return to the Iron Man world. If he goes back this time, he will no longer be the unlucky guy who has no ability to protect himself and can only hide under Tony Stark's wing.
It's already a promise of super-god existence, but I'm looking forward to giving S.H.I.E.L.D. a good look! (To be continued.) )
