When the VR boom was in full swing, Chen Shen also received good news.

One of the links in the nano production line has been successfully built.

It's just that this production line does not produce nano propellers, but nano cables and other wire tubes.

The production line of the nano thruster is still being designed, and there is no urgency at all.

This thing is attached to the nanothruster and powers the thruster.

Without these tiny cable conduits, even if a nanopropeller were produced, it would be just a pile of waste residue.

Compared to the complex structure of nanopropellers, these nanowire tubes are relatively simple in construction and require less complicated processes, which is why the production line can be designed and the first prototype can be built so quickly.

After hearing the news, Chen Shen hurried to the production base in the rear.

This is the first step in the production of nanopropellers.

followed the car into the mountains, and soon saw Ding Zhiyi, who was waiting for him outside the factory.

"Here, here!" Ding Zhiyi was waving to him with joy on his face, wearing a warm military coat, and his dress was very distinctive.

Chen Shen jumped out of the car, happily greeted him, and accosted Ding Zhiyi: "It can be built so quickly, there are really yours!" ”

Ding Zhiyi smiled and didn't take credit: "It's all the information you gave by the chief engineer who is detailed enough, and we will design the layout according to the requirements, just like a wall masonry." ”

He really didn't find anything to be proud of in it.

"Don't talk about this, let's go into the factory and see the real thing about the production line." Although Chen Shen didn't know the road, he still anxiously pulled Ding Zhiyi to the front.

Ding Zhiyi had no choice but to hurry up with him and lead the way in front of him.

The two soon entered the factory gate and went all the way to the production workshop.

In this process, Ding Zhiyi also gave Chen Shen a real picture of the production line after it was completed.

The machine in the picture looks extremely large, like a small mountain, and a bit like a freak of many kinds of machines.

In short, in terms of appearance, it is really difficult to explain.

"It's just ahead, we had the first trial production before you came over."

"How's the result?"

"The manufacturing of nanowire tubes is going well, and now the first samples have basically been taken for performance testing."

——————

"Here we are."

Ding Zhiyi opened a door and walked into the production workshop.

Suddenly, a huge machine appeared in front of Chen Shen.

There was also a thick blast-proof wall between it and Chen Shen, and Chen Shen could only observe the machine through the explosion-proof glass.

Although it is said to be a production line, there is only one machine in front of it.

However, this machine can meet all the process needs of nanowire tube production.

The machine was so large that it took up almost half of the hall, and on the glass-facing side were densely packed with huge gauges one after another, forming a wall of gauges on which various pointer readings were constantly turning.

Just from these gauges, you can see a strong patchwork style.

It's like forcibly stitching together a lot of different machines to create this weird machine.

Behind the glass is the master console responsible for machine management, dozens of computers are lined up, connected to each other with the machine, many people are quietly monitoring in front of the computer, even if they see Chen Shen and his party coming in, they just nod.

This image looks similar to the top-secret laboratory in some sci-fi movies.

"Is it still in production?" Chen Shen looked at the readings monitored by one of the computers.

"That's right, the second batch is now being produced."

Ding Zhiyi pointed to the monitoring chart on the computer.

"At present, the production process has reached a tenth of the time."

The production of nanowire tubes requires 700 layers of reactions, each of which requires a machine to provide a different suitable environment.

These reaction steps cannot be compressed, and the time to complete them is 382.26 hours.

All in all, it generally takes 400 hours for a batch of products to be prepared and completed.

And this kind of production cannot be stopped after the machine is started, otherwise the chain reaction will go wrong and the production will fail immediately.

At present, the machine can only produce a single type of wire tube with an effective capacity of 57 meters, while a Tibetan antelope needs seven types of nanowire tubes, each ranging in length from 30 meters to 2,400 meters.

If you rely on this one machine, when it has produced all the line pipes, the mosquitoes can go to sleep.

"Although this method of production is a shortcut, it is undeniable that it is a rather inefficient and unpromising method."

Chen Shen looked at the machine and knew that there were various reactions going on between the materials and the solution inside, and he couldn't help but sigh a little.

Ding Zhiyi and the others were a little embarrassed on the side, "This method is already extremely advanced, and no one of us could have imagined that there would be such a ...... before."

They weren't telling a lie, and no one had ever thought of using this method to do such complex nanofabrication.

After all, this production step is linked one by one, just like programming, as long as there is a mistake in one step, the error will be reported in its entirety......

Even if someone could imagine it, he wouldn't be able to design it!

The processing of nanowire tubes alone requires 700 layers of reactions!

The knock-on effect between these reactions would take an unknown amount of time even if supercomputing is used now, let alone designed from scratch.

If Chen Shen hadn't gotten the answer directly from the system, he wouldn't have used this inefficient way.

Although this production method is very convenient after forming, it does not have much development prospect, and if it is a normal research, the R&D investment will be terrifying, and after the research is successful, there are great restrictions on the scale of production and production time.

Its production time is almost impossible to compress, and it takes at least 16 days to assemble a Blackantelope, even with more production machines and more productivity.

Unless the chain reaction is optimized and the production steps are changed, but this requires a lot of R&D investment, but once it is invested, it is difficult to say whether it can return to the cost......

This will eventually lead to a dead end of infinite R&D investment and unforeseen return on investment.

In Chen Shen's view, if there really exists a film world like "Elysium", then their productivity is likely to be wasted on this kind of technology, so society has slowly become deformed.

This direction can be said to have gone in a crooked direction.

But that's all in the movie world.

In reality, no matter how inefficient this method is, even if it goes the wrong way, it is a Zenith technology.

Just look at Ding Zhiyi's reaction.

A group of people looked at the machine behind the glass as if they had seen a wife who had spent 80 million bride price to marry back, and the baby was too bad......

Chen Shen shook his head, it was not yet time to think about whether he had taken the wrong path.

"What about the samples that have already been produced?"
