Chapter 1064 1049. Patent Rights (55)

Wang Bo learned about this material, and then asked Na Qingyang to contact the design team of the material.

The connection is very simple. They graduated from this school, and they still keep in touch with the teachers at that time, and some classmates stay and work in this school.

After more than an hour, Qingyang came to him and said, "Boss, we are in contact. You go over to talk? I prepared a video with Professor Fan, who is in charge of this team. They knew that we were interested in their materials, and they were very excited." Happy."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes."

The computer video connection was successful, and a middle-aged man with gray hair appeared on the screen.

He obviously heard about Wang Bo's introduction from Qingyang, and after meeting him, he introduced himself and said with a smile: "Mr. Overseas is proud to be able to build such a town, it’s really amazing.”

Hearing what he said, Wang Bo knew that he might not know that he was a graduate of Ocean University of China.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he did not reveal this point, and said politely: "I am a layman, but I can endure hardships and stand hard work like us Chinese. Professor Fan and others are the backbone of the Chinese nation. Your scientific research results are really amazing. "

Professor Fan also became more polite, but when he talked about the project of superhydrophobic microporous metal wire, he still showed a proud look on his face.

He is a professional academic talent, and he is not very good at interpersonal communication. He knows this, so when he talked about this kind of material, he took advantage of the trend and talked eloquently:

"The alloy used in this material is mainly brass, which is somewhat regrettable. It would be more ideal if it could be replaced by an alloy or plastic with higher hardness and lower density."

Wang Bo asked: "Then why did you choose copper as a material?"

Prof. Fan explained: "The use of copper as a material is mainly due to the fact that it is easy to deposit a binary micro-nanostructure on the surface of the copper mesh through a simple displacement reaction, and this structure is crucial for superhydrophobicity... "

"According to our experimental data, compared with other ordinary boats that do not use the new surface technology, the new material waterproof boat floats more smoothly. Amazing load capacity, because of the particularity of the binary micro-nano structure, even if it is physically damaged, the waterproof boat can also restore its superhydrophobicity..."

Wang Bo and Na Qingyang were stunned. They couldn't continue with this kind of topic. They knew about nanomaterials, but they didn't understand the principles and specific conditions.

Professor Fan talked eloquently, and then noticed that the two people on the screen were staring at each other later, so he hurriedly said: "Sorry, I have this problem, when it comes to things I am good at, I will show off. "

Wang Bo said: "You are too polite. We actually like to hear it. It is good to gain some knowledge."

Soon he regretted why he was so polite. The old professor is a sincere person, and he was very happy after hearing his words: "It is rare for young people to be as studious as you are. Your attitude is very right. You will learn as you grow old Well, come on, let me continue to introduce..."

"...Looking at it now, the practical value of this research is still relatively low. Its biggest highlight is that it can digest and absorb basic research and conduct meaningful applied research. We are satisfied if we can achieve this goal." Half an hour later , Professor Fan finally put an end to his science popularization activities.

Wang Bo and Na Qingyang applauded one after another, as if they had returned to the days of listening to lectures in college.

At the end of the science popularization, we finally got to the point. Wang Bo said his plan is to use this material as a base to build a house floating on the water.

Professor Fan nodded and said: "This is possible. We have done experiments, and it is quite difficult to apply this material to the manufacture of ships, but it can be applied to water machinery and equipment, such as the base for setting marine environmental monitoring instruments. It is also possible to build a house on the sea, the air film on the surface of this super-hydrophobic material can increase air resistance and fluid resistance, and the base of the house can better resist the impact of sea wind and waves."

Wang Bo asked: "How much will it cost? To build a base of a house with an area of ​​20 square meters, the weight of the house is about one ton."

Professor Fan said: "The carrying weight is not large, but the cost is still a bit high due to the material. The coverage of one square meter may need about 20,000 yuan, and 20 square meters is 400,000 yuan."

Hearing the quotation, Wang Bo hesitated a little. The cost is not only high, it is very high. 400,000 yuan can build a serious villa in New Zealand.

No wonder this material has no practical value in shipbuilding. A large freighter needs a base volume of at least several thousand cubic meters, and the cost is too high. It costs hundreds of millions to build a ship!

Professor Fan is obviously aware of this problem, and said helplessly: "No way, superhydrophobic materials are mainly prepared from two aspects: the preparation of surface micro-nano structures and the treatment of low surface energy substances. The best alloy materials are gold as the main body. OK, but who can afford it?"

"Using copper is actually the bottom choice. Copper is easy to oxidize and has insufficient hardness. Almost all ship shells are steel alloy materials. However, if the surface of these materials needs to be prepared or formed with micro-nano structures, the cost will be even greater."

As he spoke, he shook his head, obviously pessimistic about the prospects of his research topic.

Qing Yang, who had been silently taking notes, raised his head and asked, "Professor Fan, are you talking about 400,000 RMB or 400,000 NZD and 400,000 US dollars?"

"RMB."

After getting this answer, Wang Bo breathed a sigh of relief. There was a little misunderstanding between the two of them. He is used to using the New Zealand dollar as the currency unit. The base of the house is not expensive.

In this way, even with the main body of the base, it is only more than 100,000 New Zealand dollars, and the cost of building 50 floating huts is about 5 million. The investment is a bit large, but he can accept it.

Wang Bo then asked if he could mass-produce it. If so, his demand was tens of millions of RMB.

For a scientific research project, the demand of tens of millions is already large enough. Professor Fan was overjoyed and said, "This is no problem. The patent right is in the hands of our laboratory, and we can produce it as long as we cooperate with a factory."

Hearing this, Qingyang gave Wang Bo a wink, and said in a low voice, "Buy this patent right and try it."

Wang Bo also thought of this. Although this material has little practical value now, it really contains infinite power.
