Chapter 77: High purity metal target

　　Apply for a machine?
　　 Upgrade the machine?
　　 Let's apply for the machine.
　　 I feel that the more machines there are, the greater the sense of accomplishment.
　　 Don't be too many, come one first.
　　 "You have applied for a new machine."
　　 "Buy one get one free event continues. You can't choose by yourself."
　　 "You got a machine."
　　 "Randomly upgrade a machine."
　　 "The machine is transmitting."
　　 Wang Buan quickly checked the machine category.
　　 The 17th machine, or what is called a production line or manufacturing center, mainly produces various targets.
　　What is the target material?
To put it simply, the target is the target material bombarded by high-speed energetic particles. It is used in high-energy laser weapons. When lasers with different power densities, different output waveforms, and different wavelengths interact with different targets, they will produce different killing and damage. effect.
　　 For example: evaporation magnetron sputtering coating is heating evaporation coating, aluminum film and so on. By replacing different target materials (such as aluminum, copper, stainless steel, titanium, nickel targets, etc.), you can get different film systems (such as super-hard, wear-resistant, anti-corrosion alloy film, etc.).
　　 Various types of sputtered thin film materials have been widely used in semiconductor integrated circuits (VLSI), optical discs, flat-panel displays, and surface coating of workpieces. Since the 1990s, the simultaneous development of sputtering targets and sputtering technology has greatly met the development needs of various new electronic components.
For example, in the manufacturing process of semiconductor integrated circuits, copper conductor films with lower resistivity are used instead of aluminum film wiring. In the flat panel display industry, various display technologies (such as LCD, PDP, OLED, and FED, etc.) have developed simultaneously. Has been used in computer and computer display manufacturing; in the information storage industry, the storage capacity of magnetic memory continues to increase, and new magneto-optical recording materials continue to be introduced. These have raised higher and higher quality of sputtering targets. The number of requirements has also increased year by year.
　　 The products of No.17 machine mainly include high-purity metal targets, high-performance targets, ITO targets, etc.
　　 are all high-end products that our country needs to import in large quantities.
　　The target material is very expensive.
　　 Especially high-end sputtering targets.
　　The more high-end ones are pure metal targets. For example, tantalum, titanium, molybdenum, vanadium, yttrium, etc.
　　 Generally speaking, a target can sputter 8,000 to 10,000 wafers, and each wafer can cut more than 1,000 chips. Therefore, if any target material is defective, it may affect 10 million cars or 10 million mobile phones. Therefore, its requirements for quality are almost abnormal.
　　 Common targets are all round cake shapes. Less than one meter in diameter. However, its price is as high as tens of thousands of dollars. There is even a price but no market.
　　 High-purity flat tantalum target material, worth more than RMB 3000 per kilogram. Ordinary titanium targets are also similar in price.
　　 The price of high-purity titanium targets is higher, up to 6000 yuan per kilogram.
　　 In other words, a ton of high-purity titanium target material may cost more than 6 million yuan.
　　 What is the output of the 17th machine?
　　 Daily output is 10 tons.
　　10 tons unchanged for ten thousand years.
　　 Unless it is able to continue to upgrade. Upgrading requires 10,000 faith points. After the upgrade, the daily output increased to 20 tons.
　　 20 tons a day, the total price is 120 million yuan.
　　 Of course, theory is theory, reality is reality.
　　 With the rotten streets of titanium targets, the price will definitely plummet.
　　 The final price may stabilize at around 500,000 yuan per ton. For Wang Bu'an, this is also a very surprising price.
　　 However, this is not the most important thing.
　　The most important thing is that all companies that need high-end targets can get enough supplies and can use them freely.
　　 Many scientific research institutes do not have money, but have no materials.
　　 There is only a small amount of target material in his hand, which must be used sparingly. It's gone when you run out.
　　 Obviously, this is a very big torment for researchers. Must be used carefully. Many expendable tests cannot be done.
　　 Once they have enough targets, they can speed up the experiment and create more results.
　　 For technology-based companies, innovation is the lifeline!
　　 For the entire country’s manufacturing industry, innovation is also an essential part!
　　 With so many scientific research institutes, so many researches, maybe someday someone will produce results. Still a large number of results.
　　 Look at the remaining 70,000 faith points.
　　 Wang Buan couldn't help continuously upgrading the skill tree.
　　 Unit 4 produces hydrogen storage alloy? upgrade! Daily output increased to 20 tons. The energy storage of the hydrogen storage alloy unit is increased to 2000 kWh.
　　The sixth unit produces polyimide? upgrade! Daily output increased to more than 20 tons.
　　 No. 7 machine, free cutting stainless steel. upgrade. Daily output increased to more than 20 tons.
　　 No. 10 machine, mainly produces carbon fiber. upgrade. Daily output increased to more than 20 tons.
　　 Machine No. 11, mainly produces various ceramics. upgrade. The daily output is 20 tons.
　　 Unit 13 mainly produces all kinds of rubber. upgrade. The daily output is 20 tons.
　　 The newly released No.17 machine. Mainly produce various targets. upgrade. The daily output is 20 tons.
　　 The two manufacturing centers also wanted to upgrade.
　　 It's a pity, too much faith is needed to upgrade. That's a full 100,000.
　　 Instead of spending 100,000 belief points to upgrade, it is better to continue to apply for more machines. To produce more raw materials.
　　 After mastering level 100 technology, Wang Bu'an discovered that the biggest problem was insufficient raw materials.
　　 Unless you build a raw material production line by yourself. Otherwise, raw materials will always be in short supply.
　　The problem is that he doesn't want to rebuild the production line.
too tired.
　　 It took two weeks for an electric car. Not to mention a complete production line.
　　 It's too difficult to make it from scratch.
　　 takes too much time.
　　Without three to five years, the production line cannot be put into use at all.
　　With this time, it is better to find a way to earn more faith points and upgrade the machine.
　　The quality of raw materials manufactured by Cybertron Technology is absolutely guaranteed.
　　 "Brother Wang, Brother Wang?" Zheng Haifeng found that Wang Bu'an's expression was a bit wrong.
　　 "Oh. I'm fine. It's fine." Wang Bu'an shook his head.
　　 Wang Mugen glanced at his son and was sure that it was all right.
　　 Wang Buyan continues to research new technologies.
　　 The machine that was rewarded for upgrading was the eighth machine. Mainly produce high-performance copper alloys.
　　 After the upgrade, its daily output increased to 20 tons.
　　 However, this is not the most critical.
　　The most important thing is that it can produce 690 alloy.
　　 What is 690 alloy? It is a very special alloy, mainly used for the circulation of hot water in nuclear reactors.
The basic principle of 　　 nuclear reactors is to release huge amounts of energy to boil water. Use hot water or steam to drive a steam turbine or drive a rotor to generate electricity. No matter which kind, special pipes are required. This kind of pipe must be able to withstand very high temperatures. Otherwise, once the hot water leaks, the consequences will be disastrous.
　　 At present, there are very few manufacturers that can produce 690 alloy. Our country must rely on imports.
　　The reason why the development of nuclear reactors in our country has been relatively slow is that certain links have never broken through the technical bottleneck.
　　 For example, this 690 alloy. If others don't sell it to you, you have no choice.
　　 Nuclear power plants are like this.
　　The same goes for the reactor of a nuclear submarine.
　　 The same goes for the nuclear reactors of large surface ships.
　　 The more powerful the reactor, the higher the requirements for 690 alloy.
　　 If a domestically-made aircraft carrier also needs nuclear power, the power requirements are still very high.
　　 Now, Wang Buyan no longer needs Du Niang's introduction.
　　 In his mind, he has directly mastered all the knowledge of Alloy 690.
　　There is also the operating principle, basic structure, manufacturing process, technical parameters, and troubleshooting of all nuclear reactors.
　　 Now he is definitely an expert among experts.
　　 In terms of theoretical knowledge, pulling out all the academicians of the Academy of Sciences and Engineering is not his opponent.
　　 Of course, he himself did not dare to show himself in front of the older generation of scientists.
　　 respecting the old and loving the young, this is a basic virtue.
　　 "You agree with respecting the old and loving the young."
　　 "You gained 10240 faith points."
　　 "You respect science."
　　 "You gained 10240 faith points."
　　The information shines one after another.
　　 Wang Bu'an was surprised and happy.
　　 Good fellow, there is faith value in this way?
it is good.
Great.
　　 There are two more opportunities to apply for the machine.
　　 But, don't worry for the time being, let's return to the topic of Alloy 690.
　　 The single-shaft power of the US Nimitz-class aircraft carrier reactor is about 130,000 horsepower. The latest Ford-class ~EbookFREE.me~ single-axle power has increased to 140,000 horsepower.
　　 However, the nuclear reactor power of certain nuclear submarines in my country is only more than 10,000 horsepower. Far from meeting the demand!
　　 High-power nuclear reactor, we completely designed it. That is, the materials are not up to standard.
　　 If the material cannot meet the requirements, it cannot be produced.
　　 Otherwise, once the nuclear reactor leaks, the consequences will be disastrous.
　　 The 690 alloy produced by the No. 8 machine is estimated to be useless temporarily. No one will believe it.
　　 After all, it is still a test product!
　　 A nuclear reactor is such a serious matter, how can I use a test product?
　　 In the final analysis, Cybertron's technology is still far beyond. Too advanced. The earth has not been able to fully bear it for the time being.
　　 Five minutes later, the machine transmission is complete.
　　 An assembly line dedicated to the production of targets is already in place.
　　 Strangely, Wang Mugen, Zheng Haifeng and others hardly reacted. They didn't even realize that there was an extra behemoth.
　　 Maybe there are too many behemoths around, they are already dazzling and have no ability to distinguish?
　　 Or did Transformers impose a blindfold? Temporarily blocked them?
　　 Of course, Wang Bu'an would not specifically talk about it.
　　 After some tossing down, it is already two or three in the afternoon.
　　 Wang Bu'an remembered that he had to go to school to receive the award!
　　 It doesn’t matter if you don’t do other things. But this kind of fame and reputation cannot be absent.
　　 A student who didn't go to class for the entire semester was actually rewarded by the principal. This is a happy thing. Speaking out is simply ruining the Three Views!
　　 Such an opportunity, Wang Bu'an will never miss it.
