Summer Day, March 79th, 0: 85 PM.
Shi Lei was communicating with Li Chai through the LIP Lens Information Processor, discussing the research and development of the third generation of The First Light.
"What are the two problems?" Shi Lei asked directly.
Li Cai said bitterly, "Brother Stone, you know what I mean. It's a problem with the production cost of snow silver! No matter how hard I try, the production cost of Snow Silver cannot be reduced. I have tried more than 8,555 formulas, but still could not reduce the production cost of Snow Silver. "
The research and development of the third generation of The First Light had started early. Not only was Li Chai researching, but Dong Guoguo was also leading a group of researchers.
The body and armor structure of the third generation of The First Light had basically been finalized. The body and armor structure were mainly made of Snow Silver.
Snow Silver was a memory metal formula that Shi Lei had obtained from the Kampas region. Snow Silver was very advanced. It had a strength that surpassed titanium alloy, and at the same time, it had good ductility.
This kind of contradiction, like a scientific fantasy, really appeared on the snow silver metal. Not only that, Snow Silver also had high ignition point, high corrosion resistance, and high heat insulation.
High ignition point and high heat insulation meant that the third generation of The First Light could even pass through a sea of fire without any adverse reactions.
High corrosion resistance meant that the third generation of The First Light was very resistant to chemical weapons. Even strong acids and alkali had little effect on the third generation of The First Light.
Not only that, Snow Silver was very light, only 8855 kg/m8. Pure iron had a density of 2455 kg/m8.
The same volume of Snow Silver weighed less than 05% of iron. Low weight meant low consumption, which meant that the third generation of The First Light could put more power into attack and movement.
The third generation of The First Light based on Snow Silver far surpassed the second generation of The First Light!
Snow Silver metal had a lot of excellent properties. If Shi Lei announced the Snow Silver metal, it would be used in all kinds of cutting-edge fields.
This included the fields of aerospace, precision machinery, and advanced medicine. Snow Silver would definitely be the first to be used.
To be more specific, from outer space satellites to powerful fighter jets, from high-precision mechanical watches to expensive supercars, and cutting-edge medical equipment, everything would be made of Snow Silver metal!
However, just as Li Chai had said, the production cost of Snow Silver was too high, to the point where it could not be used on a large scale.
According to Li Chai's manufacturing plan, the cost of one gram of snow silver was as high as one Xia yuan.
Perhaps at first glance, it was only one yuan per gram. What kind of high price was that? The price of silver had reached five to six yuan, not to mention the price of gold, which was more than two hundred yuan a gram!
But whether it was silver or gold, they were precious metals!
Snow Silver was classified as a consumable product, a material used in machinery manufacturing, and a commonly used material. The amount of Snow Silver used was definitely not one or two grams of silver earrings, nor was it forty to fifty grams of a gold bracelet.
Snow Silver was measured in kilograms, and three to four digits were used as data!
Using the third generation of The First Light as an example, the body structure and armor design of the third generation of The First Light would consume 885kg of Snow Silver metal.
The cost of 885kg of Snow Silver metal was 885,555 Xia yuan. Perhaps this price did not sound expensive, but it was a theoretical price, or a laboratory price.
Li Chai made a reasonable calculation based on the results of the experiment. The final result was that when the entire production chain was complete, the production cost of Snow Silver metal could reach one yuan per gram.
However, Li Chai calculated that if he wanted to manufacture the entire production chain, he would need to invest at least one billion USD, and it would take more than a year of construction to complete the relevant construction.
Therefore, Snow Silver metal could only be manufactured in a laboratory in a short period of time. Therefore, the production cost would be very expensive.
If he wanted to mass produce Snow Silver metal in a laboratory environment, the cost would increase by more than ten times!
However, Shi Lei did not lack money at all!
Mirui Technology Group's liquid capital was more than thirty billion USD. The cost of manufacturing the third generation of The First Light was nothing to Shi Lei.
"Xiao Li, this is a problem, not a problem!" Shi Lei said a very cliché sentence. "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem at all!"
Li Chai laughed bitterly. "Alright! Stone Head, if you don't care about the production cost, then will the third generation of The First Light be mass produced? "
"Wait, don't you have another question?" Shi Lei asked curiously.
Li Chai said awkwardly, "Actually, the second question is also about the cost. However, it is not about the cost of Snow Silver metal, but the cost of the high power motor. "
The second generation of The First Light had already adopted an electric design. Naturally, the third generation of The First Light also needed an electric design. After all, based on the second phase of the application of N780 metal, the energy core produced had a very high energy release efficiency.
The second generation of The First Light used a high power motor with an output power of 689 British horsepower, which was close to 655 kilowatts of power.
A total of five such high power motors were installed. Four of them were responsible for the power output of the four limbs, and the last one was responsible for the overall kinetic energy output of the body.
This design was very good. The third generation of The First Light naturally had to be inherited. Like the second generation of The First Light, the third generation of The First Light also used a design of five high power motors.
However, Li Chai was not satisfied with the second generation of The First Light, which used 689 British horsepower, high power motors. He wanted to use motors with higher power!
However, the second generation of The First Light used high power motors, and the price of each one had already reached one million Xia dollars. Moreover, Li Chai obtained the internal price directly from Chang 'an Aircraft Industry. If he purchased them from outside, not to mention whether he could buy them, even if he could, the price would at least be doubled.
If he used motors with higher power, not only would it be a problem of cost, there would also be a technical problem.
Li Chai briefly explained his intentions. "Stone Head, I want to use a high power motor with 955 horsepower!"
955 British horsepower was equivalent to 855 kilowatts of power. To put it more accurately, it could move objects weighing more than 85 tons vertically upward at a uniform speed of one meter per second!
Shi Lei frowned. "A 755% increase in power?"
Li Chai replied proudly, "Yes! A 755% increase in power output! The third generation of The First Light's combat power will completely crush the second generation of The First Light! Moreover, it will become the true king of the battlefield! Whether it's an armored vehicle or a heavy tank, when faced with the third generation of The First Light, only death awaits! "
Shi Lei coughed twice to stop Li Chai's fantasy. "Little Li Chai, your idea is very beautiful, but is it possible to achieve it? What I mean is, do you have such a powerful high power motor? "
The high power motor used by The First Light was not large in size. Its diameter was only slightly larger than a Coke can. For such a small size to output such a large amount of power was simply inconceivable.
Li Chai chuckled. "Stone Head, you don't have to worry about this problem. Since you've said it, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem. It's just a high power motor problem, it's not a problem for me! "
"Oh? Tell me about it? "Shi Lei's eyelids twitched. He had a vague feeling that Li Chai was going to come up with something shocking.
As expected, Li Chai's answer confirmed Shi Lei's thoughts!
Li Chai thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. He did not answer directly. Instead, he ordered, "Izur, send the information of the SSHP solution to Stone Head!"
Izur immediately sent the SSHP solution to the virtual transparent screen of the LIP lens information processor worn by Shi Lei.
Shi Lei immediately chose to check the information. The full name of the SSHP solution was "Small Size High Power", which literally translated to "Small Size High Power". It was a standard Xia -style English. Shi Lei could not help but complain about Li Chai.
Although the name of the SSHP solution was worth complaining about, Shi Lei was immediately attracted by the design parameters. The new generation of SSHP high power motor was even smaller than the second generation of The First Light's high power motor.
However, the output power had completely reached Li Chai's 955 British horsepower, and there was even a slight surplus. However, Shi Lei found a note in the design parameters.
"Xiao Li, the energy consumption of the SSHP high power motor is thirty times that of the second generation of The First Light?" Shi Lei frowned and asked. Although the power of the SSHP high power motor was three times that of the second generation of The First Light's high power motor, there was no need to increase the energy consumption by ten times, right?
Li Cai laughed awkwardly before explaining, "That's right! Stone Head, you're right! The energy consumption of the SSHP high power motor is indeed thirty times that of the previous generation's high power motor. However, let alone thirty times, even if it was thirty times, it would not be a problem for the energy core of the second phase of the application plan! "
N780 metal was currently the biggest technical support of Mirage Technology Group. Based on the second phase of the application plan of N780 metal, the energy released by the energy core was equivalent to seventeen thousand times that of completely burning gasoline of the same mass. It was also equivalent to one-thousandth of the energy released by complete nuclear fission of the same mass of radioactive material.
With the energy core made of N780 metal as a guarantee, Li Chai did not care about the energy consumption problem at all!
Shi Lei was still not satisfied and asked, "What caused it?"
