"The first item, graphene ultra-low temperature preparation technology, the manufacturing cost is one-third of the existing chemical deposition method, and graphene's excellent hardness, toughness and conductivity can be mainly used in the manufacture of spacecraft shells and chips."

"The second item, foam silver battery manufacturing technology, the resulting battery energy density is 5 times that of traditional lithium batteries, which can greatly increase the performance of portable electrical products using batteries."

"The third item, platinum blackstone ultra-low temperature preparation technology, a composite material with a melting point of 4800 degrees Celsius, is the composite material with the highest melting point found today, and it is used in the manufacture of equipment inner walls in extreme high temperature occasions, which will greatly increase safety and stability."

……

When the eight new technologies were announced, even the employees of the research department, with the pictures and videos that Nana showed them, could figure out what was going on.

In general, Cao Chuan has a trade-off to pick out 8 technologies, otherwise, a civilized industrial system is so huge, the total number of non-milestone level technologies exceeds 1,000, and the time to simulate all the rules is enough to exhaust his life, but it will not bring much value.

8 technologies are focused on deep processing, just because the biggest advantage of the moon is the abundance of resources, and not working on this basis, and trying to take other paths, is tantamount to wasting its own advantages.

Secondly, many industries involved in the materials have already come out in the earth laboratory, such as graphene, known as the king of the next generation of materials, if there is a spacecraft made of graphene, after loading the fusion energy reactor, even if it is at a speed of 5000 km / s in a slight impact, large-angle turning, will not cause the hull to break, but unfortunately, graphene is a man-made material, can not be obtained from nature, the price is platinum, gold these rare metals 10 times, The difference between the launch of Cao Chuan is the production version.

If you look closely, you will find that the main solution of the production version comes from the two unique characteristics of the moon, vacuum and cryogenic, under normal circumstances, manufacturing in a vacuum environment and ultra-low temperature environment, and it costs money to maintain it manually, while on the moon it is free, so that some chicken rib production technology has the possibility to be put into use.

In addition, several technologies involve the follow-up industrial chain, which is closely related to the future main business of East Galaxy Company, such as spaceships, unmanned units, and energy, even if the industry is not used for trade, but simply to meet its own needs, it is also indispensable.

After understanding this, employees can consider their plan, it seems to be a small matter to build a few more factories, considering personnel training, raw material import, trade and other complex issues, in fact, it involves a wide range of projects, it is definitely a big project.

Fortunately, through the digital city, they probably have the means to understand the distribution of the industrial structure and personnel structure of the lunar city in real time, and then adjust on this basis, it will become controllable and no longer full of variables.

So, on the sixth day after the announcement of the eight technologies, the employees came up with a new revised plan.

First of all, they educate the people involved in the technology through learning devices.

Subsequently, several low-priority factories in the lunar city that have not yet been put into production were tentatively used and turned into new uses, and from time to time piles of strange equipment were transported in, in fact, small-scale verification and trial production.

A month later, Homestead issued a recruitment announcement, announcing the creation of several new companies. Because these companies are the key industries of the moon city in the future, the salaries offered are quite tempting, and the management of the moon city is a relatively loose and free semi-market economy, and the immigrants see that they are profitable, and some immediately change jobs and transfer to new factories.

But all company bosses will always hate job hopping, and the sources of ingredients of dozens of companies in the current Moon City are quite messy, some of them are emerging companies established by the supergiants on the earth, some are government enterprises led by the homeland company, and some are the start-up companies of the employees of the East Galaxy Company, and even some immigrants have their own small shops, small companies, etc., which are quite difficult to coordinate and deal with in a unified manner.

There is no way to coordinate internally, but there is a solution externally.

They rely on the Hengyue-class spaceship, which is supplemented by nearly 5,000 immigrants every month, and with such abundant labor resources, only one immigrant leaves, and 10 immigrants immediately sign up for work, so there is no turmoil.

In July 2023, it has been more than half a year since the groundbreaking of Moon City, and the new factory was officially put into operation, and Cao Chuan was invited to go again.

When he learned that the materials in his hand had already been sold in advance, he was a little surprised.

In fact, even some large companies are overjoyed that Lunar City produces many cutting-edge materials that are not mass-produced on Earth.

It's just that the East Galaxy Company habitually creates big events and grabs people's attention, so many people are habitually tired and become strange, simply don't think about it, and directly consider how to do business.

Now the graphene in his hand is currently the most respected, just because of the past ten years of media and folk bombardment, so that graphene is similar to fusion energy, and has become the hope of mankind in the future.

Even if you ask a middle school student who loves science, you can tell them the performance parameters of graphene, such as 100 times the strength of steel, complete transparency, lower resistance than copper, etc.

Reducing its cost by 60% is the key to attracting more people's attention, which means they can use it in more fields for the benefit of the world.

The employee continued: "The output of graphene is 1.5 tons/month, 70% of which will be digested internally, and the external quotation is 3 million/kg, with about 200% profit. ”

Cao Chuan raised his eyebrows: "Not bad!" Looks like a few other materials are selling well? ”

"It's not yet certain, but we're confident!" The employee who introduced him said with a red face, "Next month is the time node for the completion of the fourth phase of Lunar City, and we have invited the trade representatives of companies on Earth to come and visit, and at the same time, we will hold a trade conference to pre-sell these materials." ”

"According to the current trend, the competition will definitely be fierce." The employees gave a suggestive look.

I see, Cao Chuan remembered what Nana told him after being reminded, the trade conference? About 50 of the world's top 500 companies have come, and it is estimated that there is no possibility for me to hide behind as an honorary consultant, at least, it is necessary to show up, and I have to make some preparations.

Secondly, he still agrees with the fact that the Moon City holds a trade conference itself, if the Moon City simply serves the Moon Base and the East Galaxy Company, the development will inevitably be deformed, and it will definitely not be able to meet his needs.

Only by getting in touch with the world and integrating into the world can we truly become the future city we expect.

Anyway, he believed that with the power of Scientology, even if the Moon City opened up more vigorously, no matter how many bulls, snakes, ghosts and gods haunted, there would be no return.
