Chapter 51 New Optical Glass

"Boss! Don't underestimate this new type of optical glass I have developed. I will briefly introduce its performance. The strength of this glass can be compared with some high-strength steel, and its hardness has also reached

Around 90.

Although it is not comparable to diamond, it is much stronger than ordinary types of glass, and its weight is much lighter than ordinary glass, about the same as aluminum alloy.

The most important thing is its high temperature resistance. General glass begins to soften when the temperature reaches 250 degrees. Even tempered glass reaches its limit when the temperature reaches 600-800 degrees. Of course, there are also some high-performance glasses.

It can even reach a high temperature of 1600 degrees without melting, but it is not good at other performance, and it is overweight and heavy.

If I want the glass I developed to soften, the temperature must reach above 1800 degrees. In addition to the above properties, the transparency of optical glass is the most important. The transparency of my glass reaches 99%.

, uniform refraction, no stress, and basically no dispersion." Jia Qing said.

Looking at Zhang Yi's confused face, Jia Qing also knew that he didn't understand, so he said directly to Zhang Yi: "Boss, you don't understand what I said anyway. You see, I will take you directly."

Go and see the finished product and you will know.”

After finishing speaking, Jia Qing led Zhang Yi towards his laboratory.

After arriving at the laboratory, Zhang Yi first saw the glass fragments all over the room. It was obvious that these were his works during this period of time.

After arriving at the laboratory, Jia Qing first took out a piece of glass about one meter long and wide and said to Zhang Yi: "Boss, please look, this is the glass I developed. This piece of glass is one meter long and wide, but its thickness is only

Three millimeters, but its strength is stronger than that of 2-30 mm glass. Even if it is hit directly by the big hammer, it will not cause damage to the glass."

As he spoke, he directly placed the glass on the ground, and placed two irregularly shaped iron blocks on both sides of the glass. Then he picked up a 20-pound hammer and hit the glass hard.

When he fell down, he heard a "bang" sound and the big hammer was bounced away, but the glass on the ground was undamaged.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yi was also shocked. You must know that the piece of glass on the ground is only three millimeters!

It was hit by a hammer of such weight but not damaged. If it were ordinary glass, it might break even if you put a hammer on it, let alone hit it hard, even if it was tempered glass.

Then I saw Jia Qing put down the hammer in his hand, picked up the glass on the ground and knocked it hard on the cement floor, horizontally, vertically, flatly, and backwards until the ground was smashed.

A hole was made, but the glass was still undamaged. In the end, he was not satisfied and knocked directly on the iron block on the ground, but the result was still the same. Instead, a lot of iron filings were knocked out of the iron block on the ground.

This behavior directly gave Zhang Yi the most intuitive understanding of this glass. It doesn't matter if it is metallic glass. After all, the strength of metallic glass is not comparable to that of ordinary crystal glass, but this glass is...

An optical glass, then things are different.

Looking at the glass in front of him, Zhang Yi fell into deep thought. Although Zhang Yi wanted to produce this glass immediately, he was also hesitant because he had no sales channels.

After all, if such glass is used in other ordinary industries, it will definitely be a waste, and if it is used in ordinary industries, the price will not be that high.

You must know that the cost of the glass developed by Jia Qing is much higher than that of ordinary glass. He used many kinds of rare metal materials in the manufacturing process of glass, so the ordinary industry must not be able to afford this price.

But so far, the most profitable products in the glass industry are the glass on high-precision products and equipment, such as lenses on various military equipment, aerospace glass, etc. Of course, the performance of the glass on these equipment is also high, not ordinary glass.

Comparatively.

Although the glass developed by Jia Qing is sufficient in terms of performance, these high-end industries are not something Zhang Yi can get involved in at the moment.

After all, the glass industries in these industries are controlled by some international giants. If Zhang Yi gets involved rashly now, the consequences will definitely be ruined.

Even with the protection of these red alert mining engineers, Zhang Yike has never underestimated the power of these international giants. This is why Zhang Yi chose an aerodynamic bicycle as his first product.

Originally, Zhang Yi didn't even want to get involved in this kind of special glass for the time being, but now that it has been developed, he can only bite the bullet.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. It's really not possible. Let's just make an astronomical telescope first. I don't believe it. No one will buy an astronomical telescope with such glass." Zhang Yi gritted his teeth and said.

After all, compared to others, astronomical telescopes have enough profits, and at the same time, they will not touch the interests of most giants.

Obviously, since the product already exists, Zhang Yi is directly preparing to produce it and is not planning to hide it.

After Jia Qing developed this glass, Zhang Yi immediately ordered a new set of small glass production equipment, including glass melting furnaces, annealing furnaces, polishing equipment, cutting equipment, etc., which cost Zhang Yi nearly two hundred dollars.

Ten thousand yuan, you must know that this is only a small set of equipment that can only produce a few tons of glass liquid per day. If it is replaced by large and medium-sized production equipment, it will not cost tens of millions, and it will not be available at all.

After the arrival of these glass chemical equipment, Zhang Yi was still unable to produce them immediately. After all, Zhang Yi and the others were not producing ordinary glass, so they had to be modified before they could be produced.

Fortunately! Zhang Yi is fortunate that his factory is a machinery factory. Although the current products only include aerodynamic bicycles, he is still capable of modifying glass production equipment.

Zhang Yi hopes that the glass produced by the modified production equipment can be used directly without the need for polishing like ordinary people make telescope lenses, which is not cost-effective.

What's more, since the strength and hardness of the glass produced by Jia Qing is not comparable to that of ordinary glass, if you want to grind it, you can't grind a piece of 100 mm diameter glass without several months of grinding.

In fact, it is not difficult to make an astronomical telescope. As long as there are lenses, even ordinary people can make them. The difficulty lies in grinding the lenses.

However, the glass that ordinary people use to grind lenses is generally ordinary glass, that is, float glass. After all, they have no channels to obtain high-performance optical glass, and the grinding is not professional.

The grinding time takes a very long time.

If you really want to grind lenses like ordinary people, then just don't produce them. It is simply torture, and the efficiency is very low. Even if there are mechanical equipment to grind the lenses, the efficiency will not be that high, so

He hopes that after production, it can be used directly without polishing again.
