Chapter 70: The X-Ray Base
The Spring Festival has just passed.
February 18th.
Shanmei's hotels are suddenly full, especially the Paris Hotel, Tiancheng Hotel, and the Miramar Hotel under Planet Infrastructure.
They are all crowded with bidders participating in large-scale X-ray laser projects.
Representatives or CEOs of hundreds of related enterprises came to Shanmei to participate in the bidding meeting.
Of course, there are also many media outlets that have received first-hand news.
It took a morning to preliminarily complete the bidding, and the next thing is the review of Galaxy Technology.
Huang Haojie also treats these bidding companies equally, whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise.
However, five have already been determined, because there are no competitors in the part of these five bidders.
In the next review, Huang Haojie did not directly choose the lowest price, after all, the low price means that the technology may not work, or there is a way to cut corners.
It took more than a week for Huang Haojie and the researchers of the X-ray laser laboratory of Galaxy Technology to finally identify 32 winning bidders.
"Lao Li, these are the list of winning bidders, you go and inform them."
Li Jianhua hurriedly took over the list and went to arrange the notice.
Huang Haojie turned his chair.
Staring at the map of Shanmei, he finally decided to build a base for large X-ray lasers in Luhe County.
After all, Luhe County, which is mountainous and terrainous, can isolate the outward radiation of X-rays to a certain extent, and at the same time, the population here is relatively small, which is convenient for migration.
Of course, it can also be built in the northwest region, but the problem is that there is really no foundation for Galaxy Technology there, and electricity consumption is also a huge problem.
Tens of billions of kilowatt hours of electricity are consumed a year, and if you don't generate your own electricity, the electricity bill is enough to choke.
The cost is already very high, and the problem of electricity is even higher.
Previously, Huang Haojie calculated the cost of iron-silver superconductors, which was calculated according to the cost of Galaxy Technology's own power generation, and if it was based on the electricity bill of Dongtang Power Grid, the cost would be doubled.
Therefore, only by building a wind power station can we effectively reduce production costs.
Of course, the mountain can only isolate radiation to a certain extent, but other radiation protection facilities are indispensable.
After all, ionizing radiation can damage the human body in a wide range and is difficult to predict.
The effects of radiation on the body are also varied due to the influence of various factors.
When the damage caused by radiation to the human body is manifested in the person being irradiated, it is called the somatic (ontological) effect. If it affects the offspring of the irradiated person, it is called a genetic effect.
Long-term X-ray exposure will cause many injuries to the human body, such as: autonomic dysfunction, low hematopoietic function, turbid lens, spermatogenesis disorders, and even induce tumors.
Damaged cells, tissues, and organs can also cause secondary damage to the body, causing a series of biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, dysfunctional and pathological morphological changes, and serious injuries can lead to death.
The clinical symptoms that X-ray radiation may cause include fatigue, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sleep disorders, memory loss, excessive sweating, palpitations, etc.; This is followed by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and bloating; A small number of people have toothache and gums that bleed easily, but there are no obvious skin bleeding spots and ecchymosis; Some people are susceptible to colds, low back pain, joint soreness, etc.
Similarly, X-ray radiation can have a serious impact on the fetus, and the harmful effects of the fetus in utero can be divided into lethal effects, teratogenic effects, severe mental retardation and carcinogenicity.
Obviously, the dangers of X-rays are no joke, these are small doses of X-ray radiation.
The large-scale X-ray laser to be built by Galaxy Technology is a high-power X-ray, and the radiation hazard is even more terrifying.
Therefore, the three companies responsible for the construction of protective measures that won the bid this time are the highest priced enterprises.
This protective measure alone has increased the original planned 6 billion yuan project to 700 million Chinese dollars.
After all, X-rays are high-energy rays, and their penetrating power is very amazing, even if it is the blocking effect of lead, it is not particularly good.
After discussing with laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie decided to build three isolation layers, namely radiation-proof special reinforced concrete layer, lead alloy layer, and composite radiation protection layer.
Once the X-rays are activated, no one can exist within a two-kilometer radius of the core area.
Of course, in order to do this, Galaxy Technology must use large-scale automation equipment and industrial robots to control remotely.
Even if you go in for inspection or repair, you have to do it when the X-ray laser stops working.
And these staff who entered it, those special protective clothing and the like, cost more than 200,000 yuan a set.
But Huang Haojie still bought it, after all, if you don't buy it now, it will be more troublesome in the future, if the staff is harmed by radiation and has cancer and other diseases, it is not good for the image of Galaxy Technology.
There is a bottom line in life, and this kind of money cannot be saved.
Obviously, the investment in this large-scale X-ray laser project has exceeded Huang Haojie's previous budget.
He made a preliminary estimate and reached a total of 7.8 billion Chinese dollars.
In addition, low-temperature refrigeration equipment, high-pressure pressurization equipment, and special magnetic field control equipment are required.
These things, together with other miscellaneous things, are expected to have a total investment of about 13.5 billion yuan.
If it weren't for the fact that Dongtang Power Grid had just placed an order of 23.75 billion yuan, he really wouldn't dare to play like this.
These scientific research projects are really burning money, not 120,000 yuan, but 100 million yuan.
If this project is completed, once the large X-ray laser is activated, it will consume 5 million kilowatt hours of electricity in one hour, and 120 million kilowatt hours a day.
Just thinking about it can make people's scalps tingle, and this is really not something that ordinary businesses can afford to play.
After discussing with the laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie felt that if it runs for a long time, the laser head and other parts of the laser will age very quickly, which is a huge expense.
He's in the middle of it.
Doodle...... Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Hey! Zhiqiang! ”
"Boss, I have already found out about Zhai Shaojun and Huang Zefu, this time I overlooked, I'm very sorry!"
Listening to Wang Zhiqiang's sincere and frightened words, Huang Haojie said lightly:
"Pay more attention in the future, and those two people will be dealt with according to the company's regulations!"
"Yes! I've fired the two of them, and they've brought a few more people who have also been fired by me. ”
"Hmmm! I'm sure you can handle it, and if not, go ahead and get busy! ”
"Boss, thank you very much for your trust."
"Hmm!"
Hearing Wang Zhiqiang's grateful, Huang Haojie hung up the phone, whether it was hypocrisy or true feelings, what he needed was Wang Zhiqiang's attitude.
Obviously, Wang Zhiqiang's attitude made him more satisfied, if Wang Zhiqiang came to intercede just now, then Huang Haojie would definitely not let him continue to be the president of Orion Company.
"Brother Jie, your coffee!" The little secretary handed him a cup of instant coffee to his desk.
Although Huang Haojie already has assets of tens of billions of Chinese yuan, he still can't change his previous habits.
He still likes to drink instant coffee, and after taking a sip of instant coffee with just the right temperature, Huang Haojie looked at the surging and elegant reservation.
I found that the surging and elegant booking situation is still relatively optimistic.
As of February 23, a total of 3,187 surging and elegant electric vehicles have been booked nationwide, of which the Lingnan region has the most orders, reaching 974.
It may have something to do with Galaxy Technology being a Lingnan enterprise, or it may have something to do with the relatively complete coverage of charging stations in Lingnan.
