Chapter 1514: Charles' Idea (Part 1)
Guo Tailai has done many high-precision workpieces, but he has never done this kind of high-precision kilogram prototype purely defined by the measurement unit, and the requirements are so high and the significance is great, which is exactly the kind of interesting work that Guo Tailai said.
The money is not much, at most hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it is worthwhile to allow the alma mater to participate in this kind of project that the International Committee of Weights and Measures is concerned about, and to test one's own handwork.
This work is extremely challenging, because the atomic radius of a silicon atom is almost 110 picometers, which is about 0.11 nanometers, and its diameter is 0.22 nanometers. The required processing accuracy is 0.3 nanometers, which is the size of one and a half silicon atoms, which is quite difficult. According to Mr. Peter's plan, Avogadro's plan will take several years to make the silicon ball alone. It is conceivable what kind of hell-level processing work this will be.
Of course, even the scientific research projects of the German National Institute of Metrology need to sign a commissioned processing contract. These matters are the affairs of Lin Jiayi and his team, and Guo Tailai only needs to be responsible for the final processing.
In fact, the production of two high-purity silicon crystals has not yet been completed, and it will be at least a few months before they are completed. But it doesn't matter, it happens that Guo Tailai is still busy during this period, and when the high-purity silicon crystals are delivered, Guo Tailai can return to China and process them with peace of mind.
ACPO's original plan was to make two silicon spheres in two years, but now it only needs to make one, but it still gives an estimate of one and a half years. Guo Tailai didn't show off too much, as long as he was consistent with ACPO.
Mr. Peter went back very happily, and he will also coordinate several planned institutions, including Shuimu University, and there will be a lot of follow-up work.
When the matter here was settled, Guo Tailai called the senior sister and told her the news.
For Guo Tailai to accept a project that is purely scientific and not very profitable, the senior sister has no resistance at all. This is not for military purposes, and it also includes Shuimu University. What honor does it have to have a share with the alma mater, why not do it? The only worry is that Guo Tailai will be involved in too much time and energy for this project.
"Isn't this just a chance to spend more time with you?" Guo Tailai didn't care, and said with a smile.
The senior sister is right to think about it, Guo Tailai can work in the studio with peace of mind, and the higher-ups don't have to worry about Guo Tailai's safety, which is also a good thing.
"Senior sister, I want to go to Libya in a few days." Then, Guo Tailai said what he really wanted to report.
There is no reason for domestic disagreement with scientific research processing, not to mention the participation of the alma mater, the country will not have any objections. But going to Libya is a bit sensitive, so you must report in advance.
"I knew it!" The senior sister knew Guo Tailai very well, and she couldn't help but have a headache when she heard Guo Tailai's report.
Fortunately, in fact, the country already knew that Guo Tailai would definitely wander around after going abroad, so he was already prepared. Zhao Yanyan also received the notice here. After a long sigh, the senior sister said: "You wait for my call, and I will report to the higher authorities. After a while, you must greet the Libyan side in China, and you can go after you are done."
"Don't worry, Colonel Ka needs me to nurse, so he won't do anything to me." Guo Tailai comforted the senior sister with a smile.
"Always be careful." The senior sister reminded her and hung up the phone.
The business was negotiated, and Charles took Guo Tailai to a royal castle outside London to play as usual. There is also a small hunting ground in this castle where you can hunt.
Guo Tailai and Charles each wore a hunting suit, and each held an improved version of AWM produced by British Precision International, hunting small animals in the hunting ground.
"G, have you ever made this kind of gun?" Charles asked Guo Tailai as if inadvertently after aiming and shooting down a sheep grazing quietly from a long distance.
"I've done it! Basically, some new guns in China are made by hand." Guo Tailai nodded without hesitation, and also lay on the ground with the gun, aiming at the other sheep that stopped after running for a while and found that it was not in danger. , Pull the trigger, and the bullet fires. Guo Tailai didn't look at the result, but raised his head and said, "It's very similar, it should be improved on the basis of L115. The shooting accuracy I made by myself should be better than this gun."
"Make me one!" Charles nodded after getting an affirmative answer, and then said to Guo Tailai: "Make me an AK47 similar to the one you made for Pu Dadi. That guy has already shown it off in the Russian media Several times."
Pu Dadi often sends some photos of hunting on horseback, but some time ago, he actually posted a series of photos of shooting with an AK. However, that AK is different. It was built by Mr. T himself and collected by Emperor Pu Dadi, which made many people envious.
"No problem." Guo Tailai smiled and said, "Do you need me to stamp your signature and royal badge?"
"Of course!" Charles said with a smile: "I will design a painting myself, and you can do it for me!"
"No problem!" Guo Tailai agreed once again: "If you like, I can give you that gun as a Christmas present."
"Really?" Charles exclaimed. It seems that the gun that Pu Dadi showed off was a New Year's gift from Mr. T, and Guo Tailai also regarded this gun as a Christmas gift, enough for friends. After thinking about it, Charles said directly: "The submarines and helicopters designed and produced by your company will be ordered by the royal family at their discretion, and they will be treated the same as the United States, with zero tariffs."
The British and American coalition forces fought together in Iraq, and the British side knew more or less about the affairs of the US military. This is a kind of reciprocation.
"I won't let you down." Guo Tailai smiled: "The submarine is ready to use. If necessary, I will ship that submarine to the UK, and you and interested friends can experience it at any time. Well, I can consider sending it to the UK. The submarine is shipped to the Middle East first, so that the big dogs can have a good time first, maybe they can get a few orders, then come to Europe, and finally send it to North America, so that interested customers can try it. It also happens to be for Tottenham players A chance for them to go to sea and relax."
"Okay, you arrange it!" Charles has no objection to this, on the contrary, he is still looking forward to it. I have been in a military submarine myself, but I have never tried a civilian submarine: "However, you can't take advantage of them. These guys, attacking Iraq is not helpful at all."
"Don't worry." Guo Tailai said with a smile: "I also like the banknotes of big dogs!"
"By the way, I'll teach you a way." Charles said with a smile: "You can design a unique diving watch and sell it as a set. You can buy a watch only when you buy a submarine. Set a sky-high price and kill them!"
Guo Tailai turned his head to look at Charles, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Your Highness, it's a good thing you didn't go into business! Otherwise, we little people would have no way to survive!"
