When he and Zhang Yingying finished talking on the phone and drove to the factory, there were already many people waiting for him in front of the glass production equipment. These people were the ones who participated in the transformation of this equipment. At the same time, this

At that time, some people were conducting final inspections on the equipment to ensure that it was foolproof.

Finally, after the inspection was completed, Zhang Yi ordered them to turn on the power supply, and the entire equipment started running smoothly. Of course, smooth operation was not enough. Production has not started yet, it is just running empty.

As quartz sand and other ores are poured into the furnace to undergo complex chemical reactions, various machines also add various metal materials to the furnace from time to time. Since this process requires extremely strict time and quantity, Zhang Yi and the others

This set of equipment is not added manually, and manual addition is extremely unstable.

Even when Jia Qing was developing this glass, he failed many times due to operational errors, so he and several mechanical masters directly designed an adding machine to add these materials. After all, the machine was programmed

Less prone to errors under control.

When the first lens produced by this equipment appeared in front of everyone, everyone looked at the lens carefully. At the same time, some people immediately picked up the testing equipment to conduct a detailed inspection of the lens.

Since this was their first production, Zhang Yi and the others did not produce the largest size lens, but produced a lens with a diameter of about one meter. Even such a diameter is out of reach for many astronomy enthusiasts.

of.

The inspection results came out soon, and the results were a bit disappointing. Although everyone has modified and modified this set of equipment during this period, it was unexpected that it still did not reach the level that everyone expected. You must know that this is only one meter per meter.

If the lens is larger, then it won't be a big deal.

Just when everyone was sighing, Zhang Yi said, "Don't be disappointed, everyone. Failure is the mother of success. Without failure, there is no success. Since it doesn't work this time, we will continue to improve this equipment. I don't believe it can't meet our expectations."

the result of."

So, everyone turned off the power of the machine and continued to modify the equipment. However, this time it was much simpler than the previous major modification, which was comparable to a redesign. This time, it only needed to continue to modify part of the equipment.

When Zhang Yi and others tried the machine for the second time, they failed again. Zhang Yi and others did not give up. They spent several days continuing to modify the equipment. On the sixth day, the manufacturing

The one-meter-diameter Niu anti-primary lens that came out finally reached the data Zhang Yi and the others expected, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although no matter how this equipment is modified, it can only be molded to 1200 mm in one go.

If the main lens is larger, the accuracy will be completely out of control and the image seen will be greatly changed. This is enough for Zhang Yi for the time being.

However, even for a 1200 mm main lens, the success rate of the current equipment is not high, only about 30%. However, for lenses with a diameter of less than 600 mm, the success rate of this equipment will reach 100%.

More than 90 mm, and the smaller the diameter, the higher the success rate. If it is less than 300 mm, it is basically impossible to fail.

Looking at the main lens that had just been produced in front of them, everyone was very happy. Then everyone hurriedly carried the lens to the workshop aside, preparing to install the main lens into the place they had planned a few days ago.

, on the frame of the telescope that has been produced.

After arriving at the workshop, we found that the astronomical telescope assembly workshop is not large, and in addition to the telescope frame being assembled, there are many other frames in the entire workshop, the largest of which has a diameter of more than 1500 mm.

However, this frame is no longer used for the time being, because Zhang Yi and the others cannot produce it at all now. Of course, after production, it is still possible to polish it manually if it is polished, but the cost is too high to do so.

unacceptable.

In addition to these frames, there are also several finished telescopes in the entire workshop. If you look closely, you will find that these astronomical telescopes are all internationally renowned telescopes.

These telescopes were bought by Zhang Yi. He bought them in order to understand the performance of these famous telescopes. Otherwise, why would he buy so many telescopes and he wouldn't be able to eat them.

The main lens produced by Zhang Yi has a diameter of 1000 mm and a focal length of 1500. Therefore, the frame to install this lens is also very large. If the telescope is laid flat, the light height will reach 1.75 meters and the length will be longer.

It is over two meters. In order to make it easier to move, they also designed a carriage specially used to place this telescope.

It can be pulled around by a car, and the carriage itself has a certain amount of power and can move on its own. Of course, the speed must be very slow, about the same as a person walking.

The carriages have also been beautified and designed. For this purpose, Zhang Yi also specially recruited several professional designers. Fortunately, Xian County is still very sufficient for art personnel. After all, there are so many handicraft factories in Xian County, and these handicraft factories are all

Art designers are needed.

After a while, Xiaohua and the others finally installed the main lens on the frame and made some fine adjustments.

After finishing, Zhang Yi excitedly turned on the power of the telescope carriage and used the remote control to operate the carriage to drive slowly outside the factory.

But after arriving at the door, he discovered that it was broad daylight outside and there was nothing good to see except the sun. However, he did not give up. Instead, he pointed the telescope lens at the sun with great interest, and then found

Special solar filter for telescopes.

Looking at the sun, he found that his telescope was indeed much better than other telescopes he bought. Even the best-performing ones were better. Then he immediately picked up his mobile phone and looked at

The sun in the lens shot like "Pah! Pah! Pah!".

After taking the photos, I sent these photos directly to my circle of friends and the company's website, and wrote below. It turns out that this is the sun. I used to think that the sun was a fireball!

Then he asked Xiaohua and others to install all other small-diameter telescope lenses on the frame to test the performance and compare it with those of telescopes from internationally renowned brands to see how the performance was.

That night, Zhang Yi did not go home immediately after get off work. Instead, he stayed in the factory and waited for dark.

Fortunately, the environmental protection in Xian County is very good, and light pollution is not serious, so at night, the stars in the sky are very clear, unlike in big cities such as Hangzhou, where you can't see them even at night.
