Material Empire

"Of course not." Qin Hai smiled slightly and said, "The production of this kind of fiber requires many kinds of high-end equipment, and the investment scale is huge, which is not suitable for the situation of Director Xu and the others. The plan I am considering is that we produce the fiber and hand it over to Director Xu went to process it into products for sale. I can guarantee that the products produced with this fiber will definitely be sought-after products in the market, and the profits will be very considerable.”

In fact, Qin Hai's words were set in an ambush. The equipment needed to produce ultra-high molecular weight fibers is not particularly complicated, and it is not much different from traditional fiber production, except for the use of dissolving tanks, parallel twin-screw extruders, cooling tanks, wire guides, and dryers , stretching machine, winding machine, etc., and now this batch of fibers is also produced by using the original equipment of Shuanggang Synthetic Fiber Factory after some modifications.

The key technology of ultra-high molecular weight fiber lies in the dissolving agent and extracting agent used in the production process. As long as the use of these two chemicals is mastered, this miraculous product can be produced. Regarding the specific production process, Qin Hai had asked Xia Yangjie to apply for a technical patent early on, which prevented other companies from imitating their products. However, Qin Hai did not dare to trust the credibility of the military. If the military knew about these technical mysteries, they would not care about patents or not, and would definitely start producing them vigorously.

In order to prevent the military from knowing the technical details, Qin Hai decided to leave the fiber production in Jintang Chemical Materials Group and act as a raw material supplier himself, allowing the military to use these raw materials to manufacture various products. In order to help 70X solve the financial difficulties, he can lower the supply price of fiber and leave enough profit for 70X, but it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over the fiber production process.

Xu Guoquan did not expect Qin Hai to have so many concerns. He felt that Xiao Weihao's reason was correct, that is, 70X did not have the equipment to produce fiber, and it was unrealistic to produce it by himself. Since Qin Hai is willing to be a fiber supplier, he can focus on making the final product. At that moment just now, he had already thought of several uses of this fiber product, such as making ropes, light boards, etc. These fields have a large market whether they are for military or civilian use.

"We have already seen the fiber, and Xiao Zhang also proved the strength of this fiber with his blood. Next, shouldn't Mr. Qin show us the products you make with this fiber?" Xu Guoquan took Qin Said the words of the sea.

"Okay, everyone, please come and have a look." Qin Hai said, like a magic trick, took out a helmet and a thin vest, and put them on the experimental table.

"Is this a helmet?"

Xu Guoquan and the others were all from the military, so they knew what the helmet was for just by looking at it. Liang Rongjian reached for the helmet, and when he picked it up, he realized that the helmet was very light, less than 20% of the weight of an ordinary steel helmet.

"Is this made of this ultra-high molecular weight fiber?" Liang Rongjian put the helmet on his head, feeling very relaxed, without the heaviness of wearing a steel helmet in the past. He could imagine how popular this helmet would be with soldiers if its protective performance was comparable to that of a steel helmet.

"The inside of this helmet is made of engineering plastic, and the outer covering is made of fabric woven from our fiber. We have done experiments, and its protection ability exceeds that of ordinary steel helmets when shooting at close range." Qin Hai Introduced.

"Then, this must be a bulletproof vest." Xiao Weihao picked up the vest, gestured on his body, and said, "This is much thinner than the bulletproof vests we use now. I don't know if it is thinner than the Kevlar used by the American army." Compared with fiber body armor, whose protection performance is better."

Xiao Weihao works in national security and has done some research on bulletproof vests. When the personnel in their system go to perform some dangerous tasks, they often have to wear body armor. In addition, some important leaders also need to wear bulletproof vests when they appear in public to prevent accidents. He knew that the most advanced body armor in the world is currently made of Kevlar fiber. Because of the high price, they only equipped dozens of pieces for the entire system, and they were reluctant to use them for general tasks.

"Compared with our ultra-high molecular weight fiber, Kevlar fiber can only be regarded as the previous generation product." Qin Hainiu said calmly, "Using the same thickness of fiber, the strength of Kevlar is six times that of steel wire rope, while Our fiber is 15 times stronger than steel wire rope. Therefore, under the same thickness, our body armor is 1.5 times stronger than Kevlar."

"Really?" Xiao Weihao's eyes widened. If the parameters Qin Hai said were true, then no matter what, he would have to persuade the leaders of the headquarters to allocate funds to purchase hundreds of pieces for those brothers who carried out dangerous tasks. Kevlar body armor needs to be imported, which is expensive. Qin Hai's body armor is made in China, so the price will always be much cheaper.

Qin Hai didn't directly answer Xiao Weihao's question. He took out a knife from the drawer, handed it to Xiao Weihao, and said, "You can try it yourself and see if you can cut this dress."

Clothes that are bulletproof are naturally also stabproof. Conversely, if a piece of clothing has good stab-proof performance, there is no need to doubt its bullet-proof performance. This is not an army, and everyone can't find guns to test the body armor. Try it with a knife to check the performance.

Xiao Weihao took the knife, smiled and said to Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, let's make an agreement in advance that if I scratch my clothes, you can't make me pay for it."

Qin Hai also smiled and replied: "I will definitely not let you pay. If you can scratch this clothes, I will pay you to buy 100 sets of Kevlar bulletproof vests for you."

"Okay, it's a deal!" Xiao Weihao got excited, he put the body armor on the table, swung his knife and scratched it. At the beginning, he didn't dare to use too much force. After a few strokes, he found that the body armor was intact, and the strength in his hands gradually increased. In the end, he almost picked up the knife and chopped on the clothes desperately, but he still couldn't do anything to this soft vest.

"It's amazing!" The onlookers exclaimed in unison. They could tell that the knife that Qin Hai handed to Xiao Weihao was also made of high-quality steel, with a cold light on the blade, it was definitely a sharp weapon for cutting gold and jade. But such a knife, held in the hands of Xiao Weihao, who has a high force value, can't pierce a bulletproof vest. It can be imagined how strong the fabric of this suit must be.

"Don't do it, don't do it, your brother just wants to see my jokes." Xiao Weihao threw the knife and cursed heavily. He spoke hard, but with a smile on his face, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart to see such a good bulletproof vest made by a domestic company.

"President Qin, I have a question. Your fabric is so strong, how do you cut it when you make clothes?" Translator Luo Kaimeng asked Qin Hai a question that no one had thought of.

Qin Hai smiled and said: "Translator Luo is a good question. To tell you the truth, we got stuck on this problem when we first weaved with this kind of super-polymer fiber. Generally, the cutter on the textile machine can't cut continuously. After this kind of fiber is made into fabric, there is no way to cut it."

"Then what should we do?" Xu Guoquan asked with great interest.

"Fortunately, we can be regarded as a rainy day. We developed a high-hardness ceramic blade as early as a few years ago. To cut this kind of fiber fabric, we can only use ceramic knives. For this reason, we specially asked the manufacturer to customize a special blade for us. The cutting knife solved the problem of fabric cutting." Qin Hai introduced with relish.

"It's really an eye-opener." Liang Rongjian picked up the body armor and rubbed it on his hand, full of emotion.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, how much does a body armor like this cost?" Xiao Weihao began to inquire about the issues he was concerned about. How many pieces to buy.

Qin Hai smiled and asked back: "Leaders, how much do you think is the right price for this body armor?"

"I'm thinking... how come it costs four to five hundred yuan a piece?" Liang Rongjian said hesitantly.

Xiao Weihao shook his head loudly: "Assistant Liang, you are too conservative. Do you know how much a piece of Kevlar body armor costs now? It is a full 350 US dollars! Converted into RMB, it is about 1900 yuan. Xiao Qin and the others This kind of body armor is better than Kevlar, do you think four or five hundred dollars can afford it?"

"Just such a piece of clothing, it costs almost 2,000 yuan?" Liang Rongjian was a little dumbfounded. Although he was in charge of the management work of 70X, he was far from enough market experience, and he couldn't imagine what 2,000 yuan would look like.

Qin Haidao: "This is a question I plan to discuss with you. A body armor needs to use about 2 kilograms of fabric. The price of the super-polymer fiber we produce is 500,000 yuan per ton, which is allocated to a body armor. It is about 1,000 yuan. As Xiao Chu said, the performance of this body armor is better than that of Kevlar, so the price should be more expensive. According to our analysis, if the price of a body armor is set at 500 US dollars, it should be There is a market."

"If you compare it with Kevlar, $500 is indeed not expensive." Xiao Weihao said, "However, if such a body armor really sells for $500, I think all relevant departments in our country can afford it. A lot. Our system needs this kind of equipment the most, but I can imagine that our headquarters leaders will definitely not accept this price."

Qin Hai laughed and said, "What did Xiao Chu say? If we use it for ourselves, then of course it is the cost price. How can we calculate it at 500 dollars. What I mean is, if we bring this kind of clothes to the American market If you go up and sell it, will you be able to sell it at this price?"

"Are you going to sell the body armor to the Americans?" Xu Guoquan asked in surprise, "This is military equipment. How can we export such high-tech military equipment to the United States?"
