Chapter 1338: Chapter 640: The Huge Shortage of Skilled Talent in Relevant Fields

The high-powered Z-wave satellites needed for space travel, in terms of construction costs, can certainly be considered "value for money."

Because they only involve Z-wave technology and the manufacturing techniques of light energy receivers and converters, and the required materials are mostly concentrated in the monocrystalline silicon thin films of the Z-wave ports and the receivers, the satellite simply needs to operate in space orbiting Earth, which is not nearly on the same cost scale as the Energy-Gathering Satellite.

Through various materials and manufacturing cost calculations, Zhao Yi easily estimated a figure—below 500 million RMB, with the main costs focused on compression materials and launching.

However, high-powered Z-wave satellites aren’t something that can be built on a whim; their construction must go through approval from higher-ups, and sometimes even a senior-level meeting is needed to make the decision.

Zhao Yi directly submitted an application and attended a meeting to explain.

Then it was a waiting game.

Z-wave satellites are a domestic strategic-level asset, and needless to say, with the prefix "high-powered," their strike capability is quite strong and can even be used as a powerful weapon.

This is definitely not something that a company can control at will—not even Yixing Unlimited Power Company.

Generally speaking, the applications from Yixing Unlimited Power Company are likely to be approved, but the use would certainly be restricted, and the company would find it hard to gain the basic ownership rights.

Of course, Yixing Unlimited Power Company doesn’t need unrestricted use or ownership rights either.

Their aim in building high-powered Z-wave satellites is to establish a space travel route to enable future small-spacecraft to quickly reach their destinations in space without the assistance of a space shuttle.

The current high-power Z-wave satellites can be directly used for launching Sun-orbiting Energy-Gathering Satellites.

If supported by high-powered Z-wave satellites, the launch costs would be significantly reduced, and the future Energy-Gathering Satellites would only need the help of anti-gravity propellers, potentially bringing costs down to the tens of millions of RMB. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

This was an incredibly tempting prospect.

Zhao Yi attended continuous meetings, then returned to Zhengyang, bringing in significant gains from his trip to the capital, having secured the construction of the second Energy-Gathering Satellite and applied for the building of a high-powered Z-wave satellite.

Next was waiting for approval; once that was granted, construction could begin immediately.

He was in good spirits—the near future looked promising. Once the high-powered Z-wave satellite was built, the cost of the Energy-Gathering Satellite could be reduced to under 1.5 billion RMB.

If the High Compression Material Company expanded and operated on a market basis, costs could even be pressed down to under 1 billion RMB.

With the lower cost of the Energy-Gathering Satellite, the expense of using the legendary energy would significantly decrease as well.

Thereby, the cost of manufacturing Unlimited Power Automobiles or other devices that rely on energy from Energy-Gathering Satellites would also be greatly reduced.

And then, there would be a considerable profit margin.

"Ahem!"

"Profit isn’t important, the main thing is that the lower costs will enable more people to experience advanced technology, not just hear about it in the news."

"Right, that’s the idea!"

Zhao Yi nodded vigorously, feeling quite a bit more noble.

There was no need to worry about the construction of the Energy-Gathering Satellite, because with the experience from the first one, the second could be made even bigger, transmitting more light energy, and its construction would be much faster than the first. Perhaps by the time the Energy-Gathering Satellite was completed, the high-powered Z-wave satellite wouldn’t even have been approved yet.

"That’s the trouble, should we wait for the high-powered Z-wave satellite or launch directly?"

Zhao Yi felt slightly vexed as he was quite eager to launch the Energy-Gathering Satellite since transmitting any amount of energy never seemed enough.

Looking at the civilian car market alone, there is a vast market for Unlimited Power Automobiles, especially when costs are reduced in the future, bringing the selling price down to within 500 thousand RMB, which would generate a very large market.

Currently, the biggest limitation is that the transmitted energy is finite, which means it is impossible to manufacture too many Unlimited Power Automobiles.

Based on the transmission efficiency of the first Energy-Gathering Satellite, at most it could support the operation of 20,000 vehicles; any more, and there might be an energy shortage, or even with 20,000 vehicles, an energy shortage could be possible.

That would be incredibly embarrassing.

Therefore, the total number of vehicles manufactured must be limited so as not to have cars without enough energy.

20,000 cars in the automobile market wouldn’t make even a splash; the domestic demand for cars is in the tens of millions, and when considering a few years together, the market is definitely over a hundred million vehicles.

A few tens of thousands? A few hundred thousands?

It would be a drop in the bucket!

The only way to resolve this issue is to launch more Energy-Gathering Satellites to increase the total power transmission of light energy.

"The beginning is always the hardest; since we’ve already started, everything else is just a matter of time."

Zhao Yi grew more composed.

Upon returning to Zhengyang, he immediately focused on the sales work.

The sales department had run into a major issue—they had created a car page introduction and reservation link at the bottom of the company’s webpage, and within just three hours, the company’s server was overwhelmed.

This was unexpected.

The product introduction page that the sales department created was quite good, they published the technology used by the Unlimited Power Automobile as well as introductions of various departments of the car, including detailed specifications.
