Even if everything goes smoothly, relying on light energy transmission to recover the cost is definitely a distant prospect.

This kind of thinking is very normal.

Because the same energy can be easily manufactured by relying on ordinary generators, it is simply not worth the loss to manufacture ultra-high-end satellites orbiting the sun for transmission.

So they all subconsciously ignored the fact that Zhao Yi has always emphasized that "energy transmission can realize profits", thinking that Zhao Yi personally provided funds to develop cutting-edge technology. Space shuttle as a foreshadowing.

"Academician Zhao, that's really great!"

"For the development of science and technology, even at the expense of their own pockets!"

"Yixing Technology is a company under the Aviation Group, and it seems that the loss is mainly due to the Aviation Group, but Academician Zhao will definitely pay part of the money."

"The direction of scientific and technological research and development is definitely no problem, but similar projects have very low income, and it is really difficult to establish a project."

Speaking of this project, it feels like launching a satellite around the moon. It is hard to say how useful it is to simply transmit some energy back.

But what is certain is that the cost of manufacturing satellites orbiting the sun, whether they are exploration satellites or energy-gathering satellites, will definitely be very large, often tens of billions.

If so much money is taken out in one go, even Yixing Technology will be hurt.

Of course.

In any case, they are only participating parties, and they are only assisting in the completion of manufacturing, and they are only profitable parties.

Negotiations went well.

Zhao Yi introduced the energy-gathering satellite manufactured, and confirmed that the design has been completed. The main reason for the negotiation is that the space transmission technology needs to be used. The manufacturer is a space information technology company, and at the same time, it needs the cooperation of an advanced compression material company.

The final meeting clarified a few points. Yixing Technology is responsible for the design and bears all costs related to manufacturing. At the same time, it has the right to use 80.00% of the light energy transmitted by the concentrated energy satellite.

In addition, Yixing Technology also paid [-] million yuan to the two companies at one time as the right to use space link technology and space energy transmission technology. At the same time, it was clear that each of the same energy-gathering satellites would still need to pay [-] million yuan. technology patent fees.

Afterwards, Zhao Yi led the team to negotiate with the space agency. The space agency will provide incidental technology, but all related expenses will be borne by Yixing Technology, and at the same time, [-] million will be paid to the space agency as technical support costs.

End of the meeting.

Yixing Technology has signed a cooperation agreement with Advanced Compression Materials Company, Space Information Technology Company and the Space Agency.

After completing the signing of a series of agreements, technical patents, design, etc. are no longer a problem, and the cooperative manufacturing can begin.

In fact, the manufacturing of satellites orbiting the sun is not a problem with related soft technologies at all, the main problem is still with materials.

In this regard, Zhao Yi has a clear design plan, whether it is a space information technology company or a high-level compression material company, they can cooperate with each other to manufacture it.

The incidental technology provided by the space agency still needs more communication, but there is no big problem.

Because the main core only has space connection technology, it is equivalent to manufacturing a space link device that can fly around the sun, which is relatively simple.

Zhao Yi's estimated production time is only about two months, and most of the time is still consumed in the production of compressed materials.

soon.

Co-manufacturing begins.

Chapter 633 Just ask who is still the opponent!

The patent fee paid by Yixing Technology is not low. Compared with international large companies, the patent fee of more than one billion is nothing.

However, Yixing Technology has not yet developed into a large international company. It only raised tens of billions of funds at the beginning. The patent and technology expenditure of more than one billion yuan in one go is definitely a very large sum.

Of course, this is nothing compared to future earnings.

If Yixing Technology is a listed company and discloses the manufacturing of satellites orbiting the sun and space energy transmission technology to the public, it will definitely increase the company's market value.

In the current international market, a scientific and technological concept can attract tens of billions or hundreds of billions of funds, let alone the ability to truly manufacture high-tech products.

Even if it is not a listed company, the valuation will increase significantly after the news is made public.

Of course.

Now is not a good time to go public.

After returning to rationality, the company's development still needs to be profitable.

After Yixing Technology completed the technical negotiations and actually started to manufacture energy-concentrating satellites, it still announced a news--

Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. reached a patent technology cooperation with advanced compression materials, space technology information and the space agency, and paid 13 billion technology patent fees.

This is public financial information.

This news did not arouse the attention of the public, the most important reason is that Yixing Technology Co., Ltd. was established for a short time and has not yet been listed, so its influence in the world is not great.

In addition, those who know Yixing Technology also know that the company is engaged in aviation-related research and development, and it is normal to invest heavily in the early stage.

However, the industry is different.

When Yixing Technology was first established, it raised more than 20 billion yuan, which sounds huge, but it was only 20.00 billion yuan. Since its establishment, the payment for patented technology alone has exceeded [-] billion yuan, occupying the company's [-]% of the funds raised by the establishment.

This ratio is still too high. Subsequent investment in the manufacture of spacecraft will definitely involve a lot of patents, and the patent fees will rise to an astronomical figure.

Many Yixing Technology investors have begun to worry about the company's profitability.

Yixing Technology claims to be a normal enterprise, but it is also labeled as an aviation group. What if it just keeps doing research and development, only invests but does not produce, and has no profitability in the future?

Many investors are indeed worried.

The main investor of Yixing Technology is the Aviation Group. Other investors include Zhao Yi, Liu Jiankun, top domestic manufacturing companies, and some top rich people. They value long-term interests and certainly don't care about short-term big investments.

But at the same time, there are still some small rich people who have also made a certain proportion of investment.

These people still value investment returns, but they have become the group of people who pay the most attention to the investment and research and development of Yixing Technology.

After doing careful research, they didn't worry about future income, but rather looked forward to it, because the large expenditures on patented technology were targeted at technology information companies, advanced compression materials companies, and space agencies. It can be understood that they all contributed to The latest technology and space exploration.

This funding announcement, a certain procedure can be understood as the manufacture of a certain high-tech product, which directly generated a large amount of patent and technology fees.

"What was made?"

"space ship!"

The original goal of Yixing Technology was to manufacture small spaceships.

The current object of patented technology expenditures proves the manufacture of spaceships. Instead, they are looking forward to it, hoping to hear other news in the future.

If small spaceships can be truly manufactured, even if there is no profit point for the time being, the valuation of the company will be greatly improved. Investment always depends on the future potential, especially when the spaceship project is established and becomes the most important international project. Under this circumstance, if we can create a small spaceship that cooperates, the potential in the future will be very huge.

-

The manufacture of the shaped satellite has already begun.

In fact, during the manufacturing process, Yixing Technology only played a supervisory role. It is almost equivalent to saying that the technology and design are provided well, and it is waiting for the partner company to manufacture the corresponding products.

Zhao Yi is relatively free, but he still has a lot to do.

First of all, it is to design a 'light energy receiving device'.

Zhao Yi did not intend to directly design the high-power Z-wave satellites. The energy-concentrating satellites have already begun to be manufactured. The design of high-power Z-wave satellites requires a lot of money and energy, as well as other technical support.

This process definitely requires a lot of money.

Money is the most important thing.

Zhao Yi's idea is to realize the company's profitability first, and then it becomes easy to do any research and development after a high profit.

This is mainly because there is no direct profit point for exploring Mars.

If you just continue to do high-tech research and development, you need a steady stream of capital investment. Even if it is favored by the international community, the funds must be paid by the buyer. If you add a large amount of investment, he has no problem personally. Aviation Group and other investors , there is a high probability that there will be opinions.

Therefore, it is very important to achieve high profits first. After high profits, investing in research and development is no longer a problem.

After the energy-concentrating satellite is manufactured, it can be launched into space immediately, and it will be able to orbit the sun normally in two or three months.

Energy cannot be wasted, time is money.

Zhao Yi started to design the receiving end equipment, which is to put it bluntly, the space link equipment combined with the solar panels in the enclosed space.

His research is mainly focused on receiver devices that can be used in automobiles.

Civilian cars don't need to be powered by too much power, and [-] million is enough.

The receiving end device of the car, the internal space link device is very simple, the core is just the arrangement of micro-beams, the entire space link device is about the size of a laptop computer.

The core of the receiving device is the solar panel in the closed space inside, and the design of the solar panel is directly related to the energy conversion power.

No matter how strong the received light energy is, it needs to be converted into electrical energy by the panels, and the conversion efficiency is directly related to energy consumption.

Because it is for the use of automobiles, if the conversion efficiency can be increased by 20.00%, it means that the energy demand can be reduced by [-]%, and [-]% or even more automobiles can be produced. The number of automobiles produced is directly related to profits. .

The energy receiving device mainly occupies the space of the solar panel in the confined space, and the structure of the car determines that the energy power device is best placed on the chassis or above the car, and the smaller the occupied area, the better.

Ordinary solar panels are designed on one side, and only need to deal with one side of the sun. The panels of the energy receiving device are different, and there is no need to place the panels inside, but directly insert the modules of the panel materials into the closed space the inner wall.

The light energy transmitted by space energy, no matter in which direction it is transmitted, will definitely collide with the inner wall, and then it will still be reflected on the inner wall.

Such a simple and direct design can greatly increase the conversion rate.

Conventional solar panels are mainly made of monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline silicon, and the price of monocrystalline silicon in the civilian field is slightly more expensive than polycrystalline silicon.

The power conversion rate of the solar panels made of polysilicon is relatively low, but because it is a confined space, the reflected light will still shine on the solar panels again, which will greatly increase the electrical energy conversion rate.

Of course.

Preferably, monocrystalline silicon material is used.

Zhao Yi estimated that the conversion rate of ordinary civil monocrystalline silicon solar panels embedded in the closed space of the inner wall will exceed 50.00%.

This data is still a bit low. The main considerations are two points--

One is temperature and the other is device size limitation.

In the conversion of solar energy in a closed space, the part that has not been converted will become heat. The accumulation of a large amount of heat will definitely turn the receiving device into a furnace. Conventional cooling methods may not be effective.

To solve this problem, the direct means is to increase the conversion power of electric energy.

"If the solar panels with the most advanced technology in the world are used, the conversion rate can be increased by ten percentage points."

"Device size—"

“There are still many deficiencies in the design!”

Zhao Yi looked at the graphics on the draft paper, frowned and thought.

There is no problem in the design of the inner wall of the enclosed space embedded with battery panels, but the conversion power of the battery panels is a big problem.

Generally speaking, in order to maximize the contact area between silicon material and light, it is necessary to fill the internal space of the device with silicon material sheets everywhere, even crowding the entire space without taking up too much volume.

This requires the manufacture of very thin single-crystal silicon wafers and their arrangement in the most scientific order to achieve the goal.

There is no problem with the design; in terms of craftsmanship, it is still necessary to consult high-end manufacturing companies.

In addition, the advantage of this design is that because of the unique design and requirements, most of the patent issues related to solar panels are staggered, which can save a lot of patent expenses.

"With the current design, the receiving end still needs 20 cubic meters of space to meet the output requirement of [-] kilowatts."

"It's still a bit big!"

Zhao Yi believes that the ideal is less than [-] cubic meters.

To meet this demand, it is necessary to greatly increase the power conversion rate and use a single crystal silicon material that is more than three times compressed.

"The cost of compressing single crystal silicon materials will definitely increase greatly, so we should contact advanced compression material manufacturing companies."

Although Z-wave compression is the technology developed by Zhao Yi, Yixing Technology is to achieve profitability, which is a normal business behavior, rather than investing in research and development for high-end technology. If you want to obtain relevant materials, you must follow the normal route.

Zhao Yi immediately contacted Advanced Compression Materials Company.

soon.

Advanced Compression Materials Company sent a person in charge to negotiate.

Zhao Yi asked about the cost of manufacturing compressed polysilicon in large quantities, and the person in charge also said straightforwardly, "If the compressed single crystal silicon material is manufactured separately, the price will be calculated based on the quality."

The person in charge said the unit price.

Zhao Yi roughly estimated that the manufacturing cost of single-crystal silicon material compressed three times is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary single-crystal silicon.

This price is still very high. Just purchasing the compressed monocrystalline silicon material required for each receiving device requires more than 2 RMB. Taking into account the cost of space link equipment and manufacturing, the cost of the receiving device is not less than 5 RMB. .

"5 yuan is acceptable!"

After Zhao Yi completed the design, he conducted a round of consultations, thought carefully, and decided on the design.

If a five-fold compressed single crystal silicon material is used, the high-efficiency power conversion rate will allow the receiving device to be greatly reduced, and can even be reduced to less than [-] cubic meters.

This size is more than enough to meet the needs.

The cost of 5 RMB does not sound low, but it is only compared to low-end cars, but a car powered by concentrated satellite light energy must be a car with the highest level of technology. With the monopoly technology of unlimited energy, the price can be greatly increased .
