v2 Chapter 1039： Breakthrough in solar panels

After sending all the guests away, Bao Zixuan is ready to return to his own work. As a science and engineering man, engineer is his favorite and cherished profession. The role of boss is still a bit unaccustomed to, even if he is worth more than 100 billion. Moreover, some projects are imminent, and if a technical breakthrough cannot be achieved, the next work process may be delayed.

Entering the 21st century, an energy crisis will inevitably break out. Bao Zixuan has experienced it himself. If the Black Cloud Group wants to go further, it must be in advance.

At the same time, with the development of the economy and the progress of the society, people put forward higher and higher requirements for energy, and the search for new energy has become an urgent task facing human beings. There are four main sources of existing power energy, namely thermal power, hydropower, nuclear power and wind power.

Thermal power requires the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. On the one hand, the fossil fuel reserves are limited, and the less they burn, they are facing the danger of depletion; on the other hand, burning will emit carbon dioxide and sulfur oxides, which will lead to the greenhouse effect and acid rain, which will worsen the earth's environment.

Hydropower will submerge a large amount of land, which may cause damage to the ecological environment, and once a large reservoir collapses, the consequences will be unimaginable. In addition, a country's water resources are limited, but also affected by the season.

Nuclear power is clean under normal circumstances, but in the event of a nuclear leak, the consequences are equally dire. The Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in the former Soviet Union has caused damage to 9 million people to varying degrees; at 13:46 on March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake occurred in Fukushima, Japan, triggering the international shock of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. 30 kilometers near the nuclear power plant will become a no-man's land; marine resources in a radius of 5 kilometers will be affected to varying degrees or marine organisms will mutate.

As a clean and renewable energy, wind power has broad prospects for development. Wind energy reserves are large, and extensive development of wind power generation is an effective way to solve the shortage of energy supply in China; wind power generation belongs to the application of clean energy and is an effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But the wind needs conditions, not everywhere or at any time.

Then the development of new energy has become a topic that people focus on, after all, it is closely related to life. New energy must meet two conditions at the same time: one is that it is rich and will not be exhausted; the other is that it is safe, clean, and will not threaten human beings and damage the environment. There are mainly two kinds of new energy sources, one is solar energy and the other is fuel cells.

In the future, solar energy will become one of the main energy sources in the world, and it is the most primitive energy source. Almost all other energy sources on earth come directly or indirectly from solar energy. Solar energy is the energy generated by the continuous nuclear fusion reaction of sunspots inside or on the surface of the sun. Solar energy has the advantages of abundant resources, longevity, wide distribution, safety, cleanliness, and reliable technology. Since solar energy can be converted into a variety of other forms of energy, it has a wide range of applications, including solar greenhouses, item drying and solar cookers, and solar water heaters in terms of heat utilization. After years of development, solar power generation has also developed by leaps and bounds.

Obtaining electricity from solar energy requires photoelectric conversion through solar cells. It is completely different from other power generation principles in the past. To make solar power generation truly reach a practical level; one is to improve the solar photovoltaic conversion efficiency and reduce its cost, and the other is to realize the interconnection of solar power generation with the power grid.

The documents that Bao Zixuan brought back from Poland contained plans for the construction of the Sun Cannon. Although this weapon is difficult to achieve, there are still many technologies in it that are very useful.

For example, using solar power to generate electricity, German scientists have found raw materials that can enhance the absorption of sunlight. According to the technical information left by German scientists, Heiyun engineers imitated the model.

I don’t know how German scientists did it at that time, but the ability of the most advanced solar panels in the world to absorb sunlight is more than doubled. This is not the most important, and the cost is so low that people doubt life. You know, it was still during World War II, in the 1940s.

In fact, it is easy to understand. After all, Germany was in a state of decline at that time. Coupled with the lack of its own resources, the material cost is too high to be put into use. Everything is forced out, but the premise is that people have a genius brain; ordinary people may not even think about it, let alone research.

Now all this is cheaper than Bao Zixuan. If mass production is realized, Heiyun Group will definitely enter the world's first echelon in the application of solar energy.

In the weasel factory, engineers and skilled workers are discussing how to make the product mass-produced. At present, the weasel factory is no longer the same, and its scale has more than doubled.

Now it will be divided into several teams, as long as the engineers inside, think of a plan, it feels feasible. You can directly recruit other engineers and skilled workers into the project team, with great autonomy. The real science and engineering talents, those who like to engage in scientific research, really do not want to come out. Because for them, it means wasting time. Bao Zixuan didn't say anything about this, because only in this way can technological progress be promoted.

The main thing is what can be researched and what products are not worth investing in, but the richest man knows clearly. No one's money is blown by the wind, at least to ensure that it cannot be wasted.

Seeing Bao Zixuan come in, East German engineer Rudolph said with a smile, "Boss, according to the technical data you provided us, the first batch of samples has been imitated. The current effect is good, even better than the effect in the data."

Rudolph is a wise man, although the material is written in English. But from the grammar and description, the typical German engineer style. That is to say, this technical information must have flowed out from Germany at the earliest. Thinking of the great plans of some scientists during World War II, I immediately understood what was going on.

But some things should be managed, and even if you know some things, you have to pretend to be confused. Currently working in Heiyun Group, the salary is very good. The income is dozens of times what he was in East Germany, and there is nothing to be satisfied. Moreover, the disclosure of the technical data originating from Germany would have any impact on Bao Zixuan. You have no evidence at all, who would believe it, and who would dare to believe it at the same time. There will be no point other than getting yourself into trouble and losing your job.

Now this is very good, holding high-tech, doing the work you like. At the same time, all the family members have settled down in Xiangjiang, so there is nothing to be satisfied.

The effect is better than that described in the data, indicating that the processing capacity and metal purification process are improving. Bao Zixuan is very satisfied with this point. After so many years of hard work, the Black Cloud Group has become very strong in the processing of basic materials. It shows that all the investment is worth it, and it is developing in a good direction.

Bao Zixuan: "How is the current situation, and what are the results of the experiment."

If only the theoretical data looks good, it doesn't make much sense. Products that cannot be commercialized will have no meaning for enterprises.

Rudolph said very seriously: "At present, solar power generation is basically calculated according to the power per unit area. It is mainly determined by the power of the solar panel itself. For example, a 1.6x1 meter solar panel, if it is made into 240W, the average power per square meter is 150W. If a solar panel of the same size is made into 220W, the average power is only 137.5W. For solar panels using our new material, the power per square meter can reach more than 400W.”

"The power generation per unit area is not only related to its own power, but also related to geographical location (light conditions), installation angle, etc. The light intensity and time in Xiangjiang are not long. If the new solar panels are placed in desert areas , then this advantage will be more obvious Bao's richest man is from a science and engineering background, which makes it relatively easy for engineers to report their work. If you change to a general boss, you really can't report in professional terms.

Rudolph not only dictated the report, but also recorded the experimental data. After seeing the real data, I am very satisfied.

Bao Zixuan: "Everyone has been working hard recently. Every engineer and technician involved in the project will be rewarded with $50,000; at the same time, Rudolph, you will be rewarded with $200,000. This is an affirmation of your work and what you deserve. , so don't be polite. In Heiyun Group, everything is based on achievements, I believe you have already realized it."

Hearing this, the team of nearly 40 people immediately cheered. Their work is very easy, they have complete technical information, and the work content is mainly experiment and improvement. I didn't expect to get $50,000, which is too easy to earn.

Some new employees who entered the company were even more confused. It is said that the boss is very generous to the engineer, but I did not expect to finally see it today. $50,000 is almost a year's salary, just because of the success of a project, I get it immediately. It seems like the boss said, everything in Heiyun Group is based on achievements.
