Hotels in Shanmei were suddenly full, especially the Paris Hotel Tiancheng Hotel and the Miramar Hotel owned by Planet Infrastructure.
They were all crowded with companies bidding for large-scale x-ray laser projects.
Representatives or CEOs from hundreds of related companies came to Shanmei to participate in the bidding meeting.
Of course, many media outlets that get first-hand news also sent people here.
The bidding was initially completed in one morning, and the next step was the review by Galaxy Technology.
Huang Haojie also treats these bidding companies equally, whether they are state-owned enterprises or private enterprises.
However, five companies have already been confirmed, because there are no competitors for the bidding parts of these five companies.
During the next review, Huang Haojie did not directly choose the one with the lowest price. After all, a low quotation meant that the technology may not be good or that corners were cut.
It took Huang Haojie and researchers from the X-ray Laser Laboratory of Galaxy Technology for more than a week to finally identify 32 winning bidders.
"Lao Li, these are the list of winning bidders. You go and notify them."
Li Jianhua quickly took the list and went to arrange the notification matters.
Huang Junjie turned his chair.
Staring at the map of Shanmei, he finally decided to build a large X-ray laser base in Luhe County.
After all, the mountainous terrain of Luhe County can isolate X-rays from the outward radiation to a certain extent. At the same time, the population here is relatively small, making it easier to migrate out.
Of course, we can also build it in the northwest region. The problem is that Galaxy Technology there really has no foundation, and electricity consumption is also a huge problem.
Tens of billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity are consumed every year. If we don’t generate our own electricity, the electricity bill will be high.
The cost is already very high, and the electricity bill makes it even higher.
Previously, Huang Haojie calculated the cost of iron-silver superconductors based on the cost of Galaxy Technology's own power generation. If it were based on the Dongtang Power Grid's electricity rates, the cost would have doubled.
Therefore, only by building your own wind power station can you effectively reduce production costs.
Of course, mountains can only isolate radiation to a certain extent, but other radiation protection facilities are essential.
After all, the damage caused by ionizing radiation to the human body is very extensive and difficult to predict.
The impact of radiation on the body is influenced by a variety of factors and causes various clinical reactions.
When the damage caused by rays to the human body appears in the irradiated person, it is called a somatic effect. If it affects the offspring of the irradiated person, it is called a genetic effect.
Long-term exposure to X-rays can cause many harms to the human body, such as autonomic nervous system disorders, low hematopoietic function, lens turbidity, sperm production disorders, and even tumors.
Damaged cells, tissues and organs can also cause secondary damage to the body, causing the body to produce a series of biochemical changes, metabolic disorders, functional disorders, and changes in pathological morphology. Severe damage can lead to death of the body.
Clinical symptoms that may be caused by x-ray radiation include fatigue, dizziness, headache, tinnitus, sleep disorders, memory loss, sweating, and heart palpitations; followed by gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain and distension; a few people have toothache, and gums bleed easily, but there are no obvious bleeding spots or ecchymoses on the skin.
; Some people are susceptible to colds, back pain, joint pain, etc.
Similarly, x-ray radiation can have serious effects on the fetus, and harmful effects in the fetus can be divided into lethal effects, teratogenic effects, severe mental retardation, and carcinogenesis.
Obviously the dangers of x-rays are no joke, these are still small doses of x-ray radiation.
The large-scale X-ray laser to be built by Galaxy Technology is a high-power X-ray. The radiation hazard is even more terrifying. If protective measures are not taken, no one will be willing to work at the X-ray base.
Therefore, the three companies responsible for the construction of protective measures that won the bid this time were all the companies with the highest prices.
This protective measure alone has increased the original planned 6 billion yuan project by 700 million yuan.
After all, X-rays are high-energy rays with extremely penetrating power. Even the blocking effect of the lead block is not particularly good.
A lot of composite materials must be used to build the isolation layer. After discussing with laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie decided to build a three-layer isolation layer, that is, a radiation-proof special reinforced concrete layer, a lead alloy layer, a composite radiation-proof layer.
Once the X-ray is activated, no one can exist within a two-kilometer radius of the core area.
Of course, to do this, Galaxy Technology must use large-scale automation equipment and industrial robots for remote control.
Even if you go in for inspection or maintenance, it must be done when the x-ray laser stops working.
As for the staff who enter, those special protective suits cost more than 200,000 yuan a set.
But Huang Haojie still bought it. After all, if he doesn't buy it now, it will be more troublesome in the future. If the staff are exposed to radiation hazards and get diseases such as cancer, it will have a bad image of Galaxy Technology.
There is a bottom line in being a human being, and you cannot save money like this.
Obviously, the investment in this large-scale X-ray laser project has exceeded Huang Haojie's previous budget.
He made a preliminary estimate and found that the total amount reached 7.8 billion Chinese yuan.
In addition, special magnetic field control equipment for low-temperature refrigeration equipment and high-pressure pressurization equipment is needed.
Adding these and other miscellaneous items, the total investment is expected to reach about 13.5 billion yuan.
If Dongtang Power Grid hadn't just placed an order of 23.75 billion yuan, he would really not dare to play like this.
These scientific research projects are really burning money, not 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, but 100 million yuan.
If this project is completed, once the large-scale X-ray laser is started, it will consume 5 million kilowatt hours of electricity per hour and 120 million kilowatt hours per day.
Thinking about it can make people's scalp numb. This is really not something that ordinary companies can afford.
Another issue is the spare parts of the laser. After discussing with the laboratory researchers, Huang Haojie felt that if the laser is operated for a long time, the laser head and other components of the laser will age very quickly, which is another huge expense.
He is making plans.
Suddenly the phone rang.
"Hey! Zhiqiang!"
"Boss, I have found out what happened to Zhai Shaojun and Huang Zefu. I made an oversight this time. I'm very sorry!"
Listening to Wang Zhiqiang's frightened words, Huang Haojie said calmly:
"Be more careful in the future and deal with those two in accordance with the company's regulations!"
"Yes! I have already fired two of them, and I have also fired several other people they brought with them."
"Well! I believe you can handle it. If you don't have anything else to do, just go and get busy!"
"Boss, thank you very much for your trust."
"Um!"
Hearing Wang Zhiqiang's grateful voice, Huang Haojie hung up the phone. Whether it was false or true, what he needed was Wang Zhiqiang's attitude.
Obviously Wang Zhiqiang's handling attitude made him quite satisfied. If Wang Zhiqiang had come to plead for mercy just now, then Huang Haojie would never let him continue to be the president of Orion Company.
"Brother Jie, your coffee!" The little secretary handed a cup of instant coffee to his desk.
Although Huang Junjie already has tens of billions of dollars in assets, he still can't change his past habits.
He still likes to drink instant coffee. After taking a sip of the instant coffee with just the right temperature, Huang Junjie looked at the booking status of The Paper.
I found that the booking situation of The Paper is quite optimistic.
As of February 23, a total of 3,187 Pegasus electric vehicles had been ordered across the country, with the Lingnan region having the largest number of orders, reaching 974 vehicles.
It may be related to the fact that Galaxy Technology is a Lingnan company, or it may be related to the relatively complete coverage of charging stations in Lingnan.
