After a thousand years of trading, start a million barrels of oil

Chapter 67 In the Archives (for further reading)

Jiang Fan looked at the young man, nodded and said, "I'm here today to chat with you about machinery."

"Tell me." The young man smiled and listened. He liked to listen to whatever Jiang Fan wanted to talk about.

Jiang Fan: "You know that machines are made up of parts, but how are these parts produced?"

The young man snorted and said, "You are asking about 3D printing."

'3D printing. Jiang Fan was secretly startled, he knew this,
3D printing is a rapid prototyping technology that uses bondable materials such as powdered metal or plastic to construct objects by printing layer by layer.

However, this method also has many limitations, such as limited materials that can be used as 3D printing, limited size, weak firmness, and inability to carry out mass production.

But what does the future of 3D printing look like?

"Tell me specifically," Jiang Fan said.

Young people: "It's actually very simple. Input the parameters of the object to be printed into the machine.

Or if it is used as a real copy, just scan the real thing directly,

Then pour in the material and print directly.

All parts of industrial parts, marine aerospace, including interstellar shuttle spacecraft can be solved by 3D printing. "

"There is no solidity problem?"

"Of course, if you want to fly in curvature in the universe, how can it have a problem with its firmness?"

Jiang Fan thinks this is good. If this technology can be brought back to modern times, then there is no need for high-end CNC machine tools, and a 3D printer can solve everything.

"What materials are used for 3D printing?" Jiang Fan asked the young people in the tone of a teacher asking a student,
He remembers that the current technology mainly uses resin materials, paraffin materials, metal materials, ceramic materials and their composite materials, etc.

After hearing Jiang Fan's question, the young man said: "Hey, there are a lot of them, water, soil, stones, whatever you have at hand,

Of course, moderate consideration of similarity will save conversion energy during conversion. For example, the conversion energy used for the conversion of your last oil and water is less.
If metal is used for transformation, the conversion energy required will be much more, but the essence is all convertible. "

"Water turned into metal?" Jiang Fan opened his mouth slightly.

"correct."

"Oh~" Jiang Fan also came to his senses,
In fact, it is normal. The development of technology is to constantly break the boundary between substances. I used to think that organic matter and inorganic matter cannot be transformed, but later I found that it is possible.
In the future, life and non-life may be transformed into each other, so what is a simple material transformation?
But he also noticed some problems, and asked the young people: "If it is the technology of human beings thousands of years ago, can we analyze the technology related to transformation?"

He was thinking that if he could analyze it, he might as well bring the substance conversion machine from last time back to modern times, so it would not be good to be able to produce oil at home.

"How is this possible." The young man shook his head and smiled, "This involves a lot of breakthroughs in basic theories, which can only be barely touched until around 2500. How can people around 2000 understand these things?"

Jiang Fan understands, indeed, many things are not enough just to have machines, but also rely on breakthroughs in basic theories,
Otherwise, I will give you something, including technical information, all put in front of you, but you just can't understand it when you just watch it, so don't worry.

And the foundation of the basic theory is mathematics. I made a mathematical knowledge patch by accident, and I don’t know if there is any connection in the dark.

But since the basic theory is not yet reached, let's go step by step honestly.

Jiang Fan looked at the young man and smiled, "Do you know how people made these precision parts thousands of years ago?"

The young man thought for a while, but he really didn't understand this piece of knowledge, and said, "Wait and I'll check."

Ready to start on-site inquiries.

"No, I'll tell you directly." Jiang Fan waved his hand and said:
"Thousands of years ago, humans used something called 'high-end CNC machine tools' to produce precision parts, and polished them with formed originals to produce the required parts."

At the same time as Jiang Fan said, the young people also checked some relevant confidence, saying:
"Oh, that's really backward, and it's called a 'high-end' CNC machine tool, well, it might be considered high-end for that era."

The corner of Jiang Fan's mouth twitched, slightly displeased with the young people's disdain for the technology of his own age,

But he still settled his emotions and said: "However, this thing is quite interesting from the perspective of antiques."

The young people also realized that they are specialized in the study of antiques from this era, so it seems inappropriate to say that, so they hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, if there is, it is indeed a good antique."

He suddenly thought of something, looked at Jiang Fan with bright eyes and said, "Do you have the 'high-end CNC machine tool antique' from that era?"

Jiang Fan smiled: "No!"

The young people were slightly disappointed.

Jiang Fan continued, "I want you to give it to me."

"Me?" The young man pointed at himself in surprise, and then said with a troubled expression: "Mr. J, you are the master collector of antiques. You don't even have one. Where did I come from?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said: "I don't want you to give me the original antique, I want you to collect complete technical information on several high-end CNC machine models of that era.
Of course, by the way, I also imitated a prototype according to the technical data to take a look. "

Jiang Fan asked the imitation prototype mainly to ensure that the information is complete and correct.

Youth curious: "Why do you want this?"

Jiang Fandao: "I have tried hard to get antiques for this piece of machine, so my collection of that era lacks such a part.

This is something I can't tolerate, so even if it's an imitation, I have to at least fill in this part,

It is impossible for things to be true, but at least I have to get all the information, so that at least I can live up to my rigorous attitude towards this period of cultural research. "

The young man nodded "Oh" to express his understanding. This person is not only an extreme cultural researcher and collector, but also a bit obsessive-compulsive. He can't leave any blank space, even if the imitation is at least occupying the place first.

The young people gave Jiang Fan's spirit a thumbs up in their hearts.

At first glance, he is a little strange, why a modern person can't remember many modern things, but he is quite familiar with the cultural knowledge of thousands of years ago.
But now I understand that it is this spirit that makes such a great collector,
He met a zoologist two days ago, in order to study monkeys, he imagined himself as a monkey, and lived directly in Monkey Mountain to live with monkeys.
Imitate the living habits of monkeys, and completely abandon all my nature as a human being,
This Mr. J should also have the same idea, but it is still slightly less spirited than that of the zoologist.

The young man said: "Okay, I will try my best to get it for you, but there was a serious lack of information in this area at that time,
I may have to entrust some related archives to collect and consult,
Um, you know, it is generally not allowed to go there, so it still costs a lot of money to go in and be able to check and copy it out. "

Jiang Fan understood what he meant, and said: "First make sure that the thing can be made, and the reward is easy to talk about.

I will give you 6 models, you can take a look first, and let me know the result. "

Jiang Fan read the email from Zhang Feng, and the list contained 6 models of high-end CNC machine tools that are urgently needed, all of which are for ships.

It's no wonder that as China moves towards the far sea, the production capacity of both ships and freighters needs to keep up.

If the key components are stuck by others, how can there be hundreds of underground dumplings a year.

Because he wants to use the mobile phone of the current era, Jiang Fan first turned off the holographic projection of the young people,

Then he took out his mobile phone to open the email, and used the holographic panel to scan the models of the six high-end CNC machine tools.

It was only then that the holographic projection was turned on again. At this time, the young man on the opposite side had received the model sent by Jiang Fan.

After looking at it, the young man said: "Okay, then I will reply to you in two days."

Two days after communicating with the young people, Jiang Fan was still doing daily management according to the original idea, but this day, Lao Wu took the initiative to find him after the weekly meeting.
