Chapter 168: How much is not enough
"Not yet."
Chu Feng directly answered Ying'er's question.
When Zeng Jin was on the Taibo planet, Chu Feng knew that everyone generally used brainwave transmission to directly form the video screen or pattern in the mind. To be honest, Chu Feng was still not used to it. Chu Feng was still used to seeing with his eyes.
, and graphene has been completely eliminated on the Tabor planet, and has been replaced by a material similar to sulfene on the earth, which is used as a screen. However, there is no equipment for large-scale production of sulfene at the origin.
The only option is to use graphene instead.
Although graphene is very good, it is too thin and can only be used as a screen if it is attached to other materials. Because a single layer of graphene is still too weak, and if it falls on the ground, people will probably not be able to pick it up because it cannot be seen at all.
not see……
Moreover, Chu Feng also plans to use graphene screens for the next generation of Origin mobile phones.
Nowadays, the touch screens of mainstream smartphones are relatively fragile. If you accidentally drop the phone on the ground, the touch screen inside will be broken, and repairs are very expensive.
Mainly because the bottom of the screen is covered with a layer of indium tin oxide to obtain touch input. This material has better transparency and conductivity, but indium tin oxide is not only fragile, but its preparation is also difficult, so the price of repairs
Always very high.
Therefore, many people know that bare metal mobile phones feel the best, but they still have to install protective cases on their mobile phones, and even come out with fragile insurance to buy weird insurance for their mobile phone screens.
But with graphene, you can install a layer of flexible material on the graphene touch panel so that it won't break no matter how you drop it.
And because the graphene structure is very stable and the connections between the carbon atoms are very flexible, when external mechanical force is applied, the carbon atom plane bends and deforms, so that the carbon atoms do not have to be rearranged to adapt to the external force, thus maintaining structural stability.
The graphene screen can be rolled up and carried around, saving space and eliminating the need to worry about the screen breaking.
Now Origin Company has also developed a flexible material, which is a mixture of silver nanowires and graphene made into a screen. This eliminates the need for a glass outer screen and only requires a layer of soft organic plastic material. The resulting screen is very
It is so flexible that it can completely replace various current screens.
Moreover, by combining silver nanowires and graphene on a large scale with the help of spraying machines and rolling machines, graphene screens can be produced on a large scale, fully achieving mass production capabilities, and using this material to create
The screen can respond faster and consume less power. It is definitely an ideal screen.
Although silver is also a precious metal, and the current price of 999 thousand pure silver is about 3.68 per gram, the amount of silver used is too small, only containing about 2%, and the amount used is really sparing.
For other graphene, when there was no large-scale production of graphene in its origin, it was not only difficult to produce, but also the price was a constraint. However, after graphene can be produced in large quantities, the price is no longer an issue, because as a raw material for graphene, graphite is more expensive than other graphene materials.
The materials are really too cheap. Calculated by ton, 185 graphite ore is only about 5,000 yuan per ton...
But metal indium is different. Now with the application of various new LCD displays such as laptops, TVs and mobile phones, as well as contact screens, architectural glass, etc., the use of ITO targets as transparent electrode coatings has increased dramatically.
, accounting for 70% of global indium consumption, causing indium to be insufficient and prices to remain high.
Chu Feng briefly checked the current price of indium, which is as high as 1,425 yuan/kg. The future trend will definitely continue to rise. But if Origin launches graphene screens, the price of indium will definitely shrink from a cliff.
"That's right!" Chu Feng pinched his chin and realized that this was an opportunity. Since he could predict the plunge of indium, he could buy it short and the profits would probably scare many people to death.
In fact, when Origin announced that it would mass-produce graphene, indium, which has been rising on the market, has slowly slowed down its rise. Some large consortiums have already begun short-selling preparations, and when Origin's graphene display screen is really
After the birth, everyone had already made a plan.
So don’t underestimate these consortiums. These people are more sensitive to the market than anyone else. However, there is one good thing. As long as Chu Feng does not let out rumors about the production of graphene screens, indium will not be shorted. Now this Pandora’s Demon
The key to the box is still in your own hands.
Before you know it, you have complete control over the direction of futures.
Moreover, there are so many places where graphene can be applied. If this graphene screen is put into the market, it will definitely make a lot of people despair. Therefore, no matter how much graphene Origin produces, it will not be enough, but Origin Company
We also dare not put it into the market on a large scale, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the market. The first one to be spared will be China...
Graphene screens alone are not something that Origin can digest right now.
"You have to take your time."
"What?" Ying'er didn't hear Chu Feng's words, and Chu Feng also smiled and said nothing.
"Today Origin will develop another magical mobile phone. How about giving the first one to you when it comes off the production line?"
"Okay, then I'll wait."
Ying'er did not reject Chu Feng's proposal and was very happy. It was not the value of the phone but Chu Feng's intention that made Ying'er happy.
Next, Chu Feng also took Ying'er to see many strange laboratories. Only the pharmacology laboratory has not been visited. After all, it is too scary there. Even Chu Feng would not go if he could. He was really afraid of being scared.
Yinger.
Not to mention anything else, just the mice used for experiments inside made Chu Feng hairy all over. Now the Pharmacology Laboratory of Origin has completely become a hell for mice.
Someone in the laboratory is joking that the laboratory of Light Origin can support a mouse breeding base. The mice used in experiments now cost about 20 yuan each. Because Origin uses a large amount, it is slightly cheaper, only 17 yuan.
The price is one, so it’s still a lot to eat. The most people died in one day was almost 2,000, which is more than 30,000, and they have to be responsible for harmless treatment. The price is no joke.
After all, these mice are all contributing to pharmacology. Some of them carry viruses, even some fatal viruses, so they must be treated harmlessly. If something goes wrong, the laboratory will be ruined. Fortunately, the laboratory
There are more than 20 processes to prevent the spread of contamination.
"How's it going? What do you think?"
I just had lunch at noon. Ying'er and Chu Feng have been at the Origin Laboratory for almost the whole day. The things here are really amazing, especially the holographic glasses, which really seem to have opened up another world.
