Chapter 721: An explosion in the mathematical world?
The quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system plan was finalized, and Xu Qingzhou also became busy, spending almost every day in the laboratory.
These days, Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui's studio received a big job, responsible for the development and optimization of the character cultivation system. The client was urging them quite urgently, so there was no time to go to Stockholm.
As for other spots, such as Gu Zhizhong, Chu Jiangfeng, Li Daiyue, and other acquaintances, Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao found that there actually weren't many spots left after counting.
Time passed in busyness, and soon it was December 4th, Friday.
After finishing lunch, Xu Qingzhou decided to go to the laboratory first.
In over a week, they had completed the design of the first layer, and just last night at 12:00, they produced the first-generation product.
Having the current results could be said to be the result of everyone working their guts out; even he had stayed up for two consecutive nights.
The sensing layer is the core of the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system, and the preparation process is quite troublesome. For example, it requires an ultra-pure diamond substrate, and it also needs precise implantation of nano-scale nitrogen-vacancy color centers, and finally, array lithography and isolation...
Office.
As soon as Xu Qingzhou entered, Wang Wei said: "Professor, the test data for the sensing layer is out."
"Good." Xu Qingzhou sat down in front of the computer, finished reading the test data, and nodded with a smile. "Mm, although the performance is a bit worse than estimated, it's not bad to be able to reach the current performance on the first try."
"After all, it cost over 70 million to make."
Wang Wei sighed from the side. To be honest, thinking back now, he was still a bit dazed. In less than two weeks, their small group had spent over 300 million RMB in research funding.
"Experiments are burning money; this sentence was concretized at this moment."
Just talking about the diamond NV color center array, the electronic-grade diamond wafer is about $5000/carat, and the substrate usage is about 3.5kg.
Dreamy, quite dreamy.
It was also a success; he had hundreds of millions in funding readily available.
"Troubles that can be solved with money are not called troubles."
Xu Qingzhou checked all the data and was quite accustomed to it.
The ceiling of materials is right here. As long as humans haven't walked out of the Earth and discovered materials on other planets that can satisfy 100 million C plasma + neutron radiation, such as scarce elements like iridium and rhenium, the cost will remain high.
Currently, the preparation cost of a single set of NV color center array is about 80 million. Of course, this is the cost of the first trial production; it should be able to drop to within 20 million US dollars in the future.
"However, I'm even doubting if I'm dreaming now, actually having produced an NV color center array capable of achieving Tesla-level detection within two weeks."
Wang Wei's tone was complex.
"In the future, there will be more of these generational breakthroughs." Xu Qingzhou smiled. In the near future, there will be a technological explosion.
Actually, science and technology, like mathematics, are not the sudden flashes of inspiration of isolated geniuses, but the accumulation of collective work over decades or even centuries.
His ideas benefited from the future technological explosion.
"Yes, current technological development is getting faster and faster." Wang Wei nodded.
Xu Qingzhou finished looking at the data and said in a deep voice: "The sensing layer is the core of the entire quantum sensing magnetic field system, so it's normal for the price to be expensive. Next, the transmission layer, processing layer, and execution layer, added together, are estimated to be only 70 or 80 million."
According to the plan, the quantum sensing magnetic field system is divided into four parts in total. Assuming each costs over 70 million, the institute actually has a hard time holding up.
However, the cost of the entire quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system will also exceed 200 million US dollars.
If the institute didn't have some capital, it really couldn't afford to play like this.
Xu Qingzhou didn't feel much heartache over the money; it was well spent. Once the quantum sensing magnetic field monitoring system is in place, it will be enough to pull a generational gap from peers in terms of monitoring.
If you want to couple all devices in May and achieve ignition, giving the world a surprise, you can't take the usual path.
He turned to Wang Wei and said: "By the way, you guys coordinate with Zero Point Technology's patent group, register the patents well, and sell them early."
"Good." ===== CHAPTER 722 =====
