Chapter 423 A small idea? A battleship that will never be shot down?(1/2)
While the annihilation force field experimental team is engaged in research on material properties, the international focus is still on the newly discovered carbon material.
A large number of media reported it.
Many scientific research institutions are concerned about the issue of first-order carbon, and they hope to obtain first-order carbon materials for theoretical and technical research.
The top developed countries have also discovered a problem. They are severely restricted in obtaining upgrade materials.
First, they cannot create upgrade materials.
Although a lot of research has been invested in the direction of strong annihilation force, if the International Annihilation Theory Organization wants to reach the level of producing first-order iron, it is conservatively estimated that it will take more than two years.
Even if they have the technology to make first-order iron two years later, because the strong annihilation force field technology is weaker than that of flower growers, the content of first-order iron in the magnetized materials they create will definitely be very low, and the cost of re-extraction may be far higher.
Much higher than the selling price of Annihilation Technology from flower growers.
in other words……
They had the technology to make first-order iron, but they still had to buy materials from flower growers.
This is the depressing place.
Technology is not as good as humans, and materials are controlled by humans. Even if top scientific research institutions want to do research and development, they have to look at the face of Annihilation Technology Company, a flower grower.
In fact, the influence of annihilation technology has spread to the entire world.
Annihilation Technology's sales of magnetized lithium compounds have had a direct impact on the lithium battery industry. Now the world's top three lithium battery manufacturers are all florists. The main reason is that other large lithium battery companies cannot
to purchase a license to magnetize lithium elemental compounds.
Several companies that grow flowers can buy magnetized lithium compounds, and the performance of the lithium batteries they produce has been greatly improved.
To give a direct example, battery life.
The lithium batteries produced by the flower garden company can support the driving range of household cars up to more than 1,300 kilometers. Naturally, their batteries are sought after by a large number of electric car manufacturers.
The most cost-effective family cars on the market now have a range of about 1,000 kilometers. This does not mean that they cannot support higher technologies, but battery manufacturers consider cost issues and mix some magnetized lithium compounds with ordinary lithium compounds.
Using it has reduced battery life, and at the same time, the cost has also dropped significantly.
In short, relying on high-performance magnetized lithium materials, the lithium battery market has been monopolized by flower growers.
Lithium battery companies in other countries are facing a situation of drying up of orders, so they can only continue to apply for permission from Annihilation Technology Company to purchase magnetized lithium materials.
Of course, it won't be possible in a short time.
Everyone knows that it is temporarily impossible for companies from other countries to purchase materials.
Many countries have also experienced the frustration of being restricted from purchasing. The high-end technologies they are proud of have completely lost their meaning in the face of high-tech materials.
At the O Alliance's technical conference, some scholars pointed out, "If we only rely on the International Annihilation Theory Organization, we will be at least ten years behind the flower growers in the field of annihilation science and technology."
Annihilation technology is not talking about strong annihilation force field technology, but the technology developed from annihilation force field technology. The most direct one is the research on upgraded materials and the technology industry that may be developed.
"We are subject to material export restrictions and cannot obtain enough materials for scientific and technological research."
"Flower growers have enough materials, and they can keep researching. If it takes five years for the International Annihilation Theory Organization to catch up with strong annihilation force field technology, and we have the materials and start researching, we will be ten years behind..."
Some officials suggested, "In the future, we may completely lose our competitiveness in the field of high-end technology."
"Since the annihilation force field technology cannot keep up, we must actively seek cooperation with flower growers in the field of annihilation technology."
…
American is also troubled by restrictions on purchasing materials.
So they sent officials to Germany and talked with the German side about the issue of upgrade materials, which later led to the issue of first-order carbon.
"We have to buy first-order carbon, preferably magnetized materials."
"Flower growers want to buy equipment..."
"We can use this as a breakthrough to cooperate."
The German side was concerned, "However, the equipment they want to purchase is on the banned list..."
"That's not a problem."
American doesn't care about the ban list at all, because they are the dominant party and can find many ways to avoid the Vanathan Agreement.
Now that American has offered to sell the equipment, the German side naturally has nothing to worry about, because it is their company that sells the equipment, and they can also reach an order of considerable value.
Then negotiations began.
This transaction is beneficial to all three parties.
The Germans can get big orders, American can get magnetized carbon materials, and flower growers can buy the high-end equipment they need.
Finally the deal was reached.
The equipment purchased by Annihilation Technology Company will first be sold to nearby third-party countries, and then transported to flower growers through normal trade.
Although the transaction is beneficial to all three parties, after the transaction is completed, the other two parties feel very awkward.
The transaction was between Mosewgen and Annihilation Technology, and had nothing to do with American. However, after the transaction, American obtained the magnetized carbon material for nothing.
This is a depressing place for Germany.
American also feels very depressed. They also feel the trouble of limited materials. However, first-order carbon was discovered by the flower grower's scientific research institution. They have not yet mastered the relevant manufacturing technology, so they can only put their hope in Gru
On the Lake Mu Project.
Gamow Shapley became the highly anticipated protagonist.
After hearing the news that magnetized carbon materials could be obtained, Gamow Shapley was not happy. He looked at the report in his hand and didn't know what to do.
After assuming the role of director of the Groom Lake project, Shapley encountered his first major development problem.
To put it simply, materials are limited.
The report in his hand is a set of technical data disclosed by Annihilation Technology Company. The data shows that with the increase in the strength of the annihilation force field, the first-order iron content of magnetized pure iron materials has not substantially increased substantially.
In other words, the selling price of first-order iron materials will not be significantly reduced due to technological improvements.
The current selling price of first-order iron is much lower than the original price, but it has also reached one million US dollars per kilogram. If the strength of the annihilation field is increased but the content of first-order iron cannot be increased, there is only one way to significantly reduce the price.
The method is to make the annihilation field technology public and let many companies participate in its production.
Obviously.
That is impossible.
Therefore, Gamow-Shapley must accept the high price of first-order iron, and their research requires using first-order iron to make alloys. First-order iron studies superconducting compounds and cooperates with many materials-related enterprises and institutions.
They provide first-order iron.
The first-order carbon they need is not a few kilograms, but several tons, a dozen tons, or even more.
One ton is one billion dollars.
Purchasing dozens of tons of first-order iron would consume all the funds for the Groom Lake Project.
Gamow Shapley found that he had chosen the wrong direction. He originally wanted to rely on first-order materials to research strong annihilation field technology to achieve technological overtaking, but because they did not have the manufacturing technology for first-order materials, it resulted in
Obtaining materials requires a large amount of money.
The funds are so huge that they simply cannot afford it.
Nowadays, many departments are beginning to require the supply of new materials. The way Shapley came up with is to reuse materials and cooperate with material companies to extract the materials after experiments. However, the fees to be paid are also very high. The other side is to have people go there.
Contact Annihilation Technologies to see if you can get more materials at a cheaper price.
"It would be great if we could reach more cooperation with flower growers. It would be too expensive to buy directly..."
"For example, help them build more production lines and lower the price of first-order iron, so that they can conduct more research."
"How can we continue researching if we don't even have enough materials now?"
Gamov-Shapley felt a little desperate. He found that he could not solve all the problems, so he could only submit the problem to the higher level, hoping that the higher-level departments could find a solution.
…
While other national institutions were troubled by limited materials, the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team received good news. Following Material No. 25, they discovered another material with DC anti-gravity properties.
FCW-041, Material No. 41!
In the conference room.
Liu Yunli was making a report, "Material No. 41, near 206K, detected an antigravity field strength of 6.19%, and the superconducting state was 6.23%. The DC antigravity index was determined to be 0.9381/0.9377."
