Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 1390 Unexpected gains in chip research

In the end, two women and one man had a fierce game, but nothing was agreed upon.

Ji Donglai didn't care about this until the final results came out, but came to Feng Chunbao's chip laboratory in the R&D center alone.

As the most cash-guzzling department in the entire R&D center, it has consumed an average of 200,000 yuan per day since its establishment. The salaries of researchers are calculated separately. If it were not for the huge financial support of Yishi Investment, this department would have been disbanded long ago. .

In accordance with Ji Donglai's request to spare no effort to support chip technology, Jiang Haokun recently approved 30 million professional funds for Feng Chunbao and transferred a bunch of people from the photovoltaic equipment company.

Jiang Haokun didn't know much about chips, semiconductors and materials, so he only came here to get a general idea. This time Ji Donglai came to take a look in person.

Compared with the last time, this time the laboratory of the chip department has been expanded by two circles, all in a dust-free environment, indoor 24-hour LED lighting, and a constant temperature and humidity environment.

Strict iris checks are required before entering and exiting the laboratory, and no one is exempted.

Except for Ji Donglai and Jiang Haokun, no one at the top of the company can contact anyone here, including Zhao Shuying and Xin Li.

The department's lounge, smoking room and dining area are all outside. When Ji Donglai changed clothes, Feng Chunbao came out of the lounge.

"Mr. Ji, when did you come back?"

The two passed through the air door, and Feng Chunbao took Ji Donglai to the isolation door on the side. Several equipment inside were doing simultaneous experiments. The motor on the table was humming and there was a timer next to it.

"The sample we have made now is a bit simple, but it can already meet the requirements for use. Here it is!"

"I just came back a few days ago. I asked Ran Bo to leave the gift for you outside. How are you doing recently? Did you find anything good?"

"Yes, you must like this technology. We have just made a sample, and Mr. Xiao Jiang has not reported it yet. It is a by-product of our chip research."

"At the same time as the breakthrough in printing chip technology, we synchronized a project with the materials team, which is now also in our laboratory, and now we have achieved a major breakthrough."

"This is the motor of our drone. This is our latest large battery. It uses our atomic printing technology. This is a breakthrough."

Facing Feng Chunbao, who was very compatible with him in the company, Ji Donglai always kept a smile in his eyes. The other party's hairline has moved back a lot now, his eyes are full of stories, and there is not much vicissitudes of life on his face.

Watching Ji Donglai change clothes, Feng Chunbao hurried over to help Ji Donglai zip up the dustproof suit.

"We brought three electric motors with one battery, which was completely used in actual combat simulations. Now the electric motors have been working continuously for eight hours. According to our original design intention, this battery can allow our Twin-Tailed Scorpion UAV to work continuously for ten Two hours.”

"Our best-performing drone currently has a speed of 200 kilometers per hour. If it succeeds this time, we will be able to have our own drone take off from here to Seoul and back."

"If the plane takes off from Zhejiang, it can easily turn back over Guam. If it takes off from Hainan, the entire Hainan will be within our strike range. If it takes off from Sansha City, then the entire South China Sea will be our backyard!"

Feng Chunbao pointed to the map on the wall and explained it to Ji Donglai. Next to it was a model of the Scorpion drone. This drone was also the model that Ji Donglai spent all his financial resources on to achieve breakthroughs. The current prototype is still being improved, and the biggest obstacle in the past was battery technology. The issue of energy storage is a concern all over the world. The batteries used in civilian equipment are mainly lead-acid, lithium iron phosphate, and ternary lithium batteries.

No matter which one it is, there is a fatal problem. If you want to have large capacity, you must be large.

This is a fatal flaw in drones. If you want to increase the bomb load, you must carry out a revolution in battery technology. In recent years, Ji Donglai has been looking for related technologies through the Polytechnic University Alumni Association. Several large domestic battery foundries Ji Donglai are looking for people to try to cooperate.

Either they don't have the corresponding technology, or they refuse to cooperate. After all, they are not short of money. Ji Donglai and Jiang Haokun have said that the photovoltaic group is also secretly making efforts. According to Ji Donglai's estimate, it will take at least five years to achieve a breakthrough. Now it seems that there are benefits to limiting the spending of money.

"What technology is this?"

The current speed of the Twin-tailed Scorpion drone can reach 240 kilometers per hour, and it can even exceed 300 kilometers per hour when it really needs to get rid of it.

It’s just that the fuselage is still working on a carrier with higher strength. Several Ph.D.s from Beihang University are jointly developing it with the Capital Institute of Technology laboratory.

"Graphene is a very popular concept in the past two years. Everyone knows that this thing has high energy storage, but it is too difficult to prepare. We just happened to make the equipment for the second generation chip printing technology, we improved it, and then It’s become like this here…”

Looking at Ji Donglai's expression, Feng Chunbao knew that Ji Donglai was interested, and took Ji Donglai to the laboratory on the other side.

At this time, a roll of transparent material on the equipment was slowly being pulled out of the equipment. Feng Chunbao picked up a roll of film material next to it, cut a piece with scissors and handed it to Ji Donglai.

"Mr. Ji, take a look under the microscope. This is a ten-layer graphene film that we printed using a combination of dielectric technology and vapor deposition technology. Our battery uses these panels to be composited together and then connected using graphene electrodes. of."

"This technology still has some shortcomings, and it cannot reach industrial-level mass production for the time being, but it is still possible at laboratory level. If it can reach industrial level, then we can develop and enter the super battery technology market and lead a new technology revolution."

"Our current unmanned submarines can also use this battery, and the initial tests are still OK. In a low-temperature and sealed environment, the battery's application performance is better!"

Pointing to the rolls of waste in the waste recycling bag, Feng Chunbao said excitedly.

In front of the entire set of equipment, there are green boxes in the finished product area, yellow boxes in the defective area, and red boxes in the waste area. The recycling bags below are also three colors, and the red bag is always full.

According to Feng Chunbao's design, graphene batteries are stacked in multiple layers and can be cut into various sizes and shapes according to the finished materials. If not for this, the losses would be even greater.

Ji Donglai took a look at the graphene sheet under the electron microscope. The densely packed crystalline hexagons on it were neatly arranged, as beautiful as a honeycomb.

Occasionally there are some irregularities, just sporadic points. According to the rules set by Feng Chunbao and his gang, this product has passed the standard.
