Marvel's Return of the Inventor

The fourth corridor, the new base laboratory.

"The 109th palladium ring simulated cold fusion environment test is stable, and no allotropes have been detected yet. It is recommended to enter the physical experiment."

During this period, after initial adaptation, the intelligent machinery in the laboratory successfully produced a large number of quantum chips, and the quantum computer was upgraded.

It originally took two days to come up with a solution. With the help of a quantum computer built with more than 2,000 quantum chips, the computing speed increased dramatically, and various solutions were released one after another. Under Ding Sheng's experiments, the correct solution was achieved step by step. go.

When the experiment was carried out for the 109th time, the first set of feasible experimental results were finally obtained.

When the breakthrough reaches this level, we can no longer rely solely on the holographic fusion reactor data simulation library and palladium rings for experiments.

In order to create a truly non-toxic Ark reactor, Ding Sheng needs to officially enter the physical experiment and create a primary reactor.

That means burning money.

The recent Oriental Hyperloop project used a lot of manpower and material resources just to create a 400-million-degree high-parameter divertor plasma that lasts for more than 30 seconds and a high-confinement plasma discharge that can stably repeat for more than seconds.

The tokamak device required for Ding Sheng's primary reactor is much more advanced than the Oriental Super Ring. Although there is no research and development cost, the production cost is only much higher.

The finished Ark reactor is only as big as a fist, so even the tokamak device used in the early primary reactor must be adapted to this extent.

Downsizing the tokamak device also requires huge costs.

"I asked you to re-estimate the manufacturing unit price of the micro tokamak device. Have you calculated it?" Just now, Ding Sheng had handed over this task to his friend.

"Taking into account all the situations that may occur during the manufacturing process, we take an average value, which is about 1156 billion, plus or minus million." Guan Ju replied.

For comparison, the manufacturing cost of Oriental Hyperloop is only about 12 billion. After Ding Sheng upgraded its 15-million-degree high-parameter divertor plasma to more than billion degrees and then converted it into cold fusion and significantly reduced it, The cost is about five million cheaper, which is not easy.

“Why is the price even higher than the last time I budgeted for it?”

When Ding Sheng was at Marvel, he had a large industrial foundation and defrauded more than a dozen banks and a bunch of messy companies from investing, so he was lucky enough to experiment with the Ark reactor.

A shoddy version.

In this way, the cost of one is as high as about 200 million US dollars.

Now that Ding has returned to his hometown on Earth, everything has to start from scratch, and everything is done according to the absolutely authentic version of Iron Man. Guan Ju's price is actually not high.

The only problem is that what is being manufactured now is not a finished product, but an experimental product.

Due to subsequent experimental needs, Ding Sheng will need at least dozens of micro-tokamak devices like this.

According to the quotation Guan Ju just mentioned, the original estimate of "around 120 billion B" to manufacture the first complete Ark reactor and form a complete manufacturing chain now seems to be no higher than that.

"The disagreement mainly arises over time. Last time you had no time requirements and I was free to choose a cost-effective solution. Now you want to complete the Ark reactor as quickly as possible, so you need to speed up the time immediately to continue upgrading the Ministry of Industry. More The money you get out is used in exchange for time." Guan Ju analyzed.

Although the upgrade of the industrial department of Spacetime Technology Company is snowballing internally, the materials required are purchased in large quantities from the outside world.

Because of the different requirements for material accuracy, the best and most expensive materials purchased from the outside world are basically similar to "waste" when they arrive at the Ministry of Industry, and they need to be processed many times before they can be put into use.

These are all free money.

Although the demand for Dabai 1 is currently in short supply in China, Futukang has continuously added more than ten production lines to process day and night, and Ding Sheng has made a lot of money behind the scenes.

But the market will eventually become saturated.

Since Time and Space Technology has launched its own products, Ding Sheng has become more and more troubled by common things, whether it is directly operated stores, after-sales, consumers, investors, news media or even Liang Shuang, even if Guan Ju is helping to deal with it. , and it is inevitable that Ding Sheng will need to come forward in person.
