Chapter 213 Technological Progress
"Old man, let's wait a while to see how this miniature aerospace vehicle is making a decision. After all, I haven't seen the real thing yet, so I have no way to decide whether to mass-produce it now." Zhu Lei thought After a while, he answered the old man's words.

"En! Yes, master!"

"By the way, old Wang, just now you said that our factory has a new alloy formula. What kind of formula is it and how is its performance!" Zhu Lei suddenly remembered the new alloy formula that the old man mentioned just now, so he asked said the old man.

Elder Wang thought for a while and said, "Yes! Young master, our factory has indeed developed several alloy formulas in the past six months, but most of these formulas are improved on the basis of the original formulas of the factory, and the most progress has been made. The most important is the alloy of two formulas upgraded from the original super alloy formula. One of the alloy formulas is more suitable for large-scale production, but it has not been developed for a long time now, and there is no professional smelting. Metallurgical equipment for this alloy, the cost required to produce this alloy is still very high, which directly leads to the high cost of the ultra-small manned aircraft.

However, in this case, after the development of professional metallurgical equipment in the future, the cost will be reduced a lot. After all, the cost of industrial production and laboratory products are completely two concepts.

And the formula of another alloy is very difficult to manufacture even in the laboratory, and the smelting failure rate is as high as [-]%, let alone large-scale industrial production. With the current level of our factory, large-scale production is impossible. , and this alloy is the main material of the key parts of the ultra-small aerospace vehicle we are producing. It is irreplaceable, and the smelting cost is more than fifty times that of the previous technology.

In addition to these super alloys, other materials in our factory have also made breakthroughs. Whether it is metal rubber or gold energy storage metal, the performance has been improved a lot, especially the gold energy storage metal can now store electricity per kilogram. 500 million, reaching the level of 650 million kilowatt-hours per kilogram, which can be said to be a revolutionary progress.

However, young master, since our earth was in a state of war with alien civilizations in the past six months, all enterprises in our earth civilization that have anything to do with the military industry are doing their best to produce the materials and weapons needed for the war.

And our Yongan military factory is the only company on the earth that can produce plasma engines and gold-fine batteries, so we have been producing plasma engines and gold-fine batteries at all times, so there are still a lot of materials due to lack of manpower, and The allocation of resources is insufficient, so there has been no major breakthrough during this period of time, especially the superconducting materials that you have always attached great importance to, so far, there has been no progress. If it is not for the war with alien civilizations, we may make breakthroughs in these materials. The reliability is very large, and as long as these materials are broken through, we will be able to develop controllable nuclear fusion technology, but now we have produced blueprints for controllable nuclear fusion, but due to the lack of material knowledge, it is difficult to manufacture. After all, this is really powerless. After all, as long as there is controllable nuclear fusion, our human interstellar voyage is no longer a distant dream. "

Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Lei comforted; "It's nothing, old man, you have tried your best during this time. After all, when our whole Ming Dynasty is producing weapons for our war with alien civilizations, as the main equipment supplier Dear you, I am very happy that you can still have such great scientific research results, and to be honest, with the current technological level of the earth, even if we have mastered the controllable nuclear fusion technology, it is still very difficult to carry out interstellar voyages. Achieved.

Because it is necessary to master several technologies to carry out interstellar voyages, the first is artificial gravity technology, which is necessary. In the boundless universe, a long voyage often takes dozens or even hundreds of years. It is impossible to survive for dozens or hundreds of years in a gravity-free environment.

After all, the solar system is on the outskirts of the Milky Way, and the distance between each planetary system is very far away. Take Proxima Centauri, the closest galaxy in our solar system, as an example, it is [-] light-years away from the earth, even at the speed of light. It takes more than four years to sail, not to mention that we still have difficulty even traveling at one-thousandth of the speed of light.

Although Zhao Ping and the others have sailed in the interstellar space for nearly a hundred years in order to survive, their civilization and the civilization of our earth are completely two concepts. The magic requires people with high cultivation to maintain the consumption of the formation. Even so, they are basically exhausted when they reach Pangu.

If there is no earth civilization to join this time, then the fate waiting for them will not be much better than the Ruhr civilization that was destroyed by the earth civilization, or even if they are the same race as our earth civilization, without reaching the genocide , Will they agree to become a subsidiary civilization of our Ming Empire? You must know that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. "

Having said that, Zhu Lei paused for a moment, and Old Man Wen, who was a little worried, said, "By the way, old man, how many people from other autonomous prefectures work here in our factory."

Hearing Zhu Lei's words, the old man immediately replied: "Master, because you have not been in the factory during this period of time, and this is your fief, so although we have recruited a large number of employees during this period of time, but because our factory has been In implementing the recruitment standards you set out at the beginning, you must at least have the reputation of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and you know how difficult it is to be a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, young master.

Although the difficulty is much lower now than before the Industrial Revolution, and all subjects can be passed, it is not so simple to obtain the honor of a scholar now, and those who were not originally from the Ming Dynasty basically cannot even speak Chinese completely, let alone Don't talk about writing, it's impossible for them to get a scholar. You must know that the test of a scholar is not just as simple as professional knowledge. It is impossible to pass the test if the Chinese language has not reached a certain level.

Even if there are a few people who can get the title of scholar, they have already been scrambled by all the companies in their own area. It can be said that there are basically no foreigners with the title of scholar in the central area of ​​the Ming Empire. Up to now we There are only about ten people of other races in the entire factory with nearly [-] people, and eight of these ten people are traditional races in our Ming Empire. Habits and other aspects are already exactly the same as our Chinese.

And the remaining two were recruited recently, why is it that the earth is now unified, young master, and more people from other races should be recruited, but young master, we old guys are from here, you must not do this!Even if it is these two people, we have to find a way to drive them away. After all, our ancestors said that if they are not of our race, their hearts must be different! "
