Chapter 1049: .Patent Right (5/5)

Wang Bo learned about this material, and then let that Qingyang contact the material design team.
This connection is very simple. They graduated from this school and still keep in touch with the teachers at that time, and their classmates have stayed in this school to work.
After more than an hour, Qingyang found him and said, "Boss, got in touch. Have you talked in the past? I prepared a video with Professor Fan who is in charge of this team. They learned that we were interested in their materials. happy."
Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes."
The computer video was successfully connected, and a middle-aged man with gray hair appeared on the screen.
He apparently heard the introduction of Wang Bo from that Qingyang mouth, and smiled after meeting and introducing himself: "Mr. Wang Bo is really young and promising. I just went online to search a bit before I knew you were our Chinese nation. It's amazing that overseas pride can build such a town. "
After hearing this, Wang Bo knew that he might not know that he was a graduate of Ocean University of China.
In order to avoid embarrassment, he did not reveal this point. He said politely: "I am a vulgar, but just as hard-working and hardworking as the Chinese. Professor Fan and others are the backbone of the Chinese nation. Your scientific achievements are really amazing. "
Professor Fan was also polite, but when talking about the project of super-hydrophobic microporous metal wire, his face still showed a proud look.
He is a professional academic talent, and he is not very good at interpersonal communication. He knows this, so when talking about this material, he goes with the trend and talks openly:
"The alloy used in this material is mainly brass, which is somewhat regrettable. If it can be replaced with a harder and less dense alloy or plastic, it is even more ideal."
Wang Bo asked, "Why did you choose copper?"
Professor Fan explained: "The use of copper is mainly due to the fact that it is easy to deposit binary micro-nanostructures on the surface of the copper mesh through a simple displacement reaction, and this structure is very important for superhydrophobicity ... "
"According to our experimental data, compared to other ordinary ships that do not use the new surface technology, the new material waterproof boat floats more smoothly. Even if the edge of the material is below the water level, it can still remain suspended. Moreover, it can also show Amazing load capacity, because of the special nature of the binary micro-nano structure, even if it is physically damaged, the waterproof boat can restore its super hydrophobicity ... "
Wang Bo and that Qingyang were suddenly stunned, they can not continue this topic, they do know nanomaterials, but they do not understand the principles and specific circumstances.
Professor Fan talked eloquently, and later noticed that the two people were staring at each other on the screen, and quickly said: "Sorry, I have this problem. When I talk about what I am good at, I will show off. "
Wang Bo said, "You're very kind. We actually like to listen to it, and it's good to have some insights."
Soon he regretted being so polite. The old professor was sincere. After hearing what he said, he was very happy: "Young people are as good as you but they are rarely stubborn. Your attitude is right. Well, come on, I continue to introduce ... "
"... At present, the practical value of this research is still relatively low. Its biggest bright spot is that it can digest and absorb basic research and make meaningful applied research. If we can achieve this goal, we are satisfied." Half an hour later Professor Fan finally put an end to his popular science activities.
Wang Bo and that Qingyang applauded, as if they were back to the days of college lectures.
The end of science popularization finally got to the point. Wang Bo stated his plan to use this material as a base to build a house floating on the water.
Professor Fan nodded: "This is okay. We have done experiments. It is difficult to apply this material to the manufacture of ships, but it can be applied to water machinery and equipment, such as the base of marine environmental monitoring instruments. It is also possible to build a house at sea. The air film on the surface of this superhydrophobic material can increase air resistance and fluid resistance, and the base of the house can better resist the impact of sea wind and waves. "
Wang Bo asked, "How much does that cost? A building with a floor area of ​​20 square meters will weigh about one ton."
Professor Fan said: "The bearing weight is not large, but the cost is still a bit high due to the material. The coverage of one square meter may require about 20,000, and 20 square meters is 400,000."
After listening to the offer, Wang Bo was a little hesitant. The cost is not only high, it is very high. Forty thousand people can build a villa in New Zealand.
No wonder this material has no practical value in shipbuilding. The volume of the base of a large freighter is at least several thousand cubic meters. The cost is too high, and a ship can cost hundreds of millions!
Professor Fan obviously also realized this problem, and said helplessly: "No way, superhydrophobic materials are mainly prepared from the surface micro-nano structure and the treatment of low surface energy materials. The best alloy material is gold as the main body. OK, but who can afford it? "
"Copper is actually the next choice. Copper is easily oxidized and not hard enough. Ship shells are almost all steel alloy materials. However, if these materials are prepared or formed with micro-nano structures on the surface, the cost will be greater.
Then, he shook his head, apparently pessimistic about the prospects of his research topic.
Qingyang, who had been silently taking notes, looked up and asked, "Professor Fan, are you talking about 400,000 yuan or 400,000 dollars and 400,000 dollars?"
"Yeah."
After getting this answer, Wang Bo was relieved. The communication between the two people was a little misunderstood. He used to use New Zealand dollars as the currency unit. If it is Renminbi, it is acceptable. Convert more than 80,000 New Zealand dollars. The base of the house is not expensive.
In this way, even if the base body is added, it is only more than 100,000 dollars. The cost of building 50 floating huts is about 5 million. The investment is a bit large, but he can accept it.
Wang Bo then asked if he could mass-produce. If he could, his demand would be tens of millions of yuan.
For a scientific research project, the demand for tens of millions is already large enough. Professor Fan was ecstatic at once and said, "This is no problem. The patent right is in the hands of our laboratory. It can be produced by uniting a factory."
Hearing this, Qingyang winked at Wang Bomeng and whispered, "Buy this patent, try it."
Wang Bo also thought of this. Although this material is of little practical value now, it really contains infinite power.
