Thirty Entrepreneurship: Recycling of second-hand aircraft carriers at the beginning

Chapter 589 Perfect Data

"Actually, it's like this: I think the fourth-generation fighter should be divided into several different versions. This is a simplified version, which is basically for everyday use, such as buying groceries."

"What?"

Lin Chen found it hard to believe.

"Hey Mr. Huang, have you ever seen anyone drive around in a flying vehicle like this while shopping for groceries to show off?"

"Actually, I'm solving a real problem. As we all know, to solve the problem of carrying things, people have invented all sorts of small vehicles, right? And people still have to walk a long time to get to the market. If this thing is invented, people can put on this flying machine at home and fly out the window."

Lin Chen was drinking water when he heard the phrase "jump out the window," and he couldn't help but spit it out.

"Wait a minute."

He looked at the aircraft in front of him.

"I'll just ask you one question: if your wife went out to buy groceries right now and jumped out of the window wearing this armor, how would you feel?"

This question really stumped Master Huang.

"Even you yourself don't approve of this design. To put it bluntly, jumping out of a window is something that only young people who like to pursue novelty would try, and it's just for the thrill. What if there's a real safety hazard? In other words, if you promote it like this, and there's a situation where the aircraft actually stops flying in the air, how will you handle it?"

……

Master Huang looked worried. He had thought that he could give Lin Chen hope through this demonstration, but things had gone wrong.

"Moreover, according to your design, the best-case scenario is that the entire building will need to be renovated. That is to say, each building will need to be equipped with a take-off device. In the future, everyone will have two doors when they come home: one is a regular door for those who come back from the underground garage, which is commonly known as the traditional door; and the other is a door that comes in from the balcony."

However, if every household were to install a large door on their balcony, new problems would arise. What if mischievous children caused an accident?
……

These social problems are very likely to actually occur, so we definitely cannot put the aircraft into use directly like this, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable and would also cause chaos in the entire social order.

"However, your idea of ​​going out to buy groceries in a flying vehicle is worth trying. But I think it might not sell well. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, they are used to going to the market to buy groceries and chat with their neighbors. It's unlikely that you can ask them to change their habits and do this. You can think about what new marketing strategies can make up for the problem of market acceptance."

Although Master Huang is just an inventor, his invention will definitely have an impact on the market.

Clearly, Li Xue was also having a headache. Even with large-scale production, launching such a product might not necessarily be a good thing.

Moreover, if a situation were to actually occur where aircraft were flying everywhere, it would create new problems. If the speed of the aircraft were not properly controlled, they might collide in mid-air, causing them to fall to the ground, resulting in either death or serious injury.

Before they've even made any money, they'll all be rushing to the hospital for various compensation claims, and the factory might go bankrupt in less than a month.

"Alright, this research should continue for now, but I think we need to reposition it. At least for now, we need to figure out all the issues. For example, we could design these aircraft to replace electric vehicles, which would solve a major problem, wouldn't it?"

Lin Chen believes that under such circumstances, these products must fully meet market demands and actual conditions before they can be truly launched into the market.

"Li Xue, you should keep a close eye on the situation here during this time."

Although it wasn't necessarily a foolproof project, Master Huang's efforts and creativity were still recognized. And so, Master Huang returned to his laboratory. To Lin Chen's astonishment, within a few days, all the seeds had sprouted.

"So fast?"

He couldn't believe his eyes.

Normally, cell division should be a very slow process. Therefore, according to his calculations, it would take at least a month for these seeds to germinate.

He immediately began testing, and soon a set of data caught his attention.

It turned out that the germination speed of these seeds did not depend on natural conditions, but was closely related to the supply of nutrients. He instantly understood the key point.

"Okay, let's find some more related things. If all else fails, I'll go to the market and buy some fertilizer and see how it goes."

To ensure the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the data, he simply bought all the fertilizers available on the market.

Immediately afterwards, he meticulously categorized these fertilizers and quickly established a relatively complete experimental system.

He then set up a bunch of flowerpots on the test site and began the second phase of his research on the seeds in the laboratory.

Sure enough, within a few days, the seeds began to sprout one after another, and some even grew leaves.

"It's only been a few days, how can it sprout so quickly?"

Filled with doubt, he decided to continue cultivating the seeds. Before long, the seed that had been fertilized the fastest grew into the shape he had hoped for in just over ten days.

"This is incredible."

Lin Chen could hardly believe his eyes and quickly took out the fastest-growing plant for component analysis. However, the analysis results were very disappointing; the plant lacked the key element he had been hoping for.

"How is this going?"

Lin Chen sat there, lost in deep thought. Since these plants were not yet able to secrete the substance he wanted, further discussion would be futile.

So he decided to have the three plants he had previously cultivated tested. To his further astonishment, these plants also lacked the crucial element.

"why?"

He was completely baffled, sitting there with an expression of utter disbelief.

"Could it be because of photosynthesis?"

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"By the way! Let's check the oxygen level in this room."

On Sunday, the oxygen content was measured, and they were shocked to find that the oxygen content in the room was an astonishing 40 percent!

"How is this possible? The oxygen content of this one plant is almost as much as that of an entire forest. What kind of magical plant is this?"

He began to think about the problem seriously. Then, on Sunday, he came to an unexpected conclusion.

"Master, do you remember? Generally speaking, plants produce oxygen through photosynthesis, and only through photosynthesis can plants thrive. However, we have also seen that plants in the mountains stop growing after reaching a certain size. Why is that? This means that through photosynthesis, the plants may have absorbed some new element."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that perhaps this element was something the aliens did not want to appear at first, but things developed in a way that was beyond their expectations. It was like planting willows unintentionally and reaping the benefits.

"So, that's roughly the situation now." However, their judgment was flawed this time. In fact, sunlight can indeed produce such an effect. This is why aliens always choose to invade Earth or destroy its core; the heat promotes photosynthesis.

Lin Chen made a bold decision: he decided to take this opportunity to move all the plants outdoors.

In this way, plants can grow and develop fully through photosynthesis.

Sure enough, two days later, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the substances they needed had finally appeared on the plants and had begun to take root and sprout.

"As expected, this situation still occurred."

Under the influence of the Earth's environment, he discovered that these plants continued to grow through photosynthesis and gradually grew into small saplings.

"What's going on?"

This research has been ongoing for nearly two months. The original experimental field has now been transformed into a home for saplings.

However, he also noticed a problem: the saplings didn't seem to grow very big.

Moreover, he noticed a very strange substance adhering to the surface of these plants. He scraped it off and tested it. Sure enough, the test results showed that it was the very substance they desperately needed.

"Haha! Hey, we finally succeeded."

Now, the focus has become on how to cultivate this plant. After all, farmers need to see tangible benefits. In other words, as long as these substances are scraped off and collected daily, they can be sold to make money.

However, he is not yet sure if this approach is correct, so he must continue to study it in more depth.

So he immediately started a new round of research and, sure enough, obtained some new data.

However, the most crucial question is how to break down these materials. Furthermore, the plastics retrieved from the ocean were completely corroded and appeared extremely dangerous.

However, he discovered a problem: all the containers he was using were made of new materials.

Because traditional glass will also decompose when it comes into contact with this substance.

In this situation, he had to race against time to carry out the next round of preparations, since the ratio of this substance was the core of the entire research.

"This thing is indeed quite good, but there's a problem: it can only be used if it's stored in a container containing metal."

The main problem is that this substance can break down many kinds of materials, especially glass and ceramics, and is extremely destructive.

Only containers containing metal can safely store this substance.

The problem is that metal containers are relatively expensive, so he has to consider economic factors first, since the product is intended for the civilian market.

This is truly a headache.

However, there's a contradiction here. Since glass makes up a large portion of waste, it would be beneficial if this material could be degraded.

Now that this conflict has arisen, there's no time to hesitate. We need to get things done as soon as possible, or the consequences could be disastrous.

Feeling uncertain, Lin Chen quickly called for help.

After receiving the call, Su Hang immediately rushed over to check on his research.

"I think, given the situation, you shouldn't get so hung up on container research. Think about it, can't a rural area afford a tin can? Besides, don't throw away those aluminum cans; just put these substances in them, and you'll have a ready-made container."

Su Hang's point is that since this is a solvent that can degrade plastics, it must also have some impact on glass.

"And think about it, wouldn't this allow the aluminum cans to be preserved for a long time? Aluminum cans are recyclable waste and can also be used directly as various industrial raw materials. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately understood.

"You mean my research has been a success, right?"

"That's right! Brother, you've certainly succeeded at the lab level. But you need to figure out how to achieve mass production, that's the key. How should these substances be stored? I believe many manufacturers will choose to use metal boxes or similar containers, which means the demand for metal will increase."

Su Hang knew that this would complicate matters and likely increase costs.

"So, you could consider launching two different products: a home version and an industrial version. As for the home version, I'm wondering if it could be made in a solid form?"

solid?

Upon hearing this suggestion, Lin Chen immediately understood.

"I understand what you mean."

If these substances could be made into solids, they would absolutely not react with other substances in a dry environment, and could even be stored in plastic bottles, making them suitable for civilian use. However, they must be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place.

"But what should we do during the rainy season?"

Lin Chen was still somewhat worried.

After all, a solution to this problem has not yet been found. Everything is prone to dampness during the rainy season, and it would be troublesome if this was not taken into account.

"Master, have you forgotten about preservatives or desiccants? Why don't you just put them in directly?"

……

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet; hearing this, the whole situation instantly became much clearer.

“Master, I think Su Hang is right. Let’s take this opportunity to make the product in the lab first. If it works, we can start mass production directly.”

Su Hang said with a smile.

"Once this product is launched, it can solve at least half of the world's industrial pollution problems, and it can even be widely used in various fields."

In fact, this problem has been troubling many people. If there were something that could solve this problem, it would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap for the entire environmental protection industry.

Lin Chen continued his research, hoping that this invention might actually earn him a Nobel Prize.

Thinking about this made him much happier.
