Chapter 217 The bottleneck of mass production
In vitro culture of hematopoietic stem cells is indeed a new technology, and it will take time for hospitals and patients to quickly accept it.
It can be said that most of the patients who will choose this technology immediately are acute patients who have failed to match and cannot afford to wait.
Some patients who are not in urgent need of matching must also wait and see.
Especially foreign patients do have some doubts and suspicions.
As long as there is a corresponding point of view, there will always be people who believe it.
But this time, because Huano's cunning operation made this matter known to everyone, after Umbrella counterattacked, it suddenly turned into a wave of free advertising!
At this time, Wang Yi was strengthening the mage tower and wanted to generalize the experiment of cultivating cardiomyocytes.
When he used his magic power, he had completed self-strengthening, but wanting to turn this into a product that could be promoted with the blessing of an ordinary silver magic circle still made Wang Yi feel unexpected trouble.
"Tsk~, it really can only be used on a small scale."
Wang Yi couldn't help but sigh after looking at some cardiomyocytes cultivated on the experimental platform in front.
There is a difference between laboratory products and things that can be promoted, especially after adding magic power.
Even if he adjusts the proportion of culture medium, it will be problematic and the efficiency will be quite low.
Under this efficiency, the cost required is absolutely astronomical, putting it out of reach for all ordinary families.
Even he can't solve the problem of sloth magic in this world.
"If we really want ordinary people to be able to do it, perhaps an artificial heart is the more cost-effective answer."
On the cardiomyocyte side, Wang Yi has already completed self-decryption and strengthening. He will definitely not spend too much time and energy on it. The result in front of him is almost the ultimate result in a long time.
However, he felt a bit unsatisfied after only building this thing. It could only be used by rich people. He always felt that it was not doing its full work, so he thought of the artificial heart.
Artificial organs are nothing new. In fact, artificial hearts have already appeared and are used by patients. ECMO can even provide extracorporeal circulation for patients with cardiopulmonary failure to carry on.
On a more side note, dialysis machines have also extended the lives of many people, and can also be used to extend artificial kidneys.
But artificial organs are still quite expensive.
However, unlike cardiomyocyte cultivation, for things that can be mass-produced by mechanization, it is not difficult to keep the price down as long as the production technology and output are improved.
Why are developed countries developed? It is because they have mastered products with high profit added value.
Even for chips, the unit price after mass production is actually the same. No one says that they can’t afford even one chip.
However, when thinking about artificial organs, another topic that cannot be separated immediately comes up: the battery issue.
In other words, many technologies are actually suppressed by the limitations of batteries, such as mobile phone battery life, battery car battery life, electric vehicle battery life, etc. From household appliances to space stations, batteries may seem inconspicuous but they are involved in all aspects.
Wang Yi actually had some ideas in this regard very early on. After all, electrical energy is a very common and convenient transformation of modern energy. Even magic can have many connections after being activated.
Even at present, the only means that humans can use for external intervention and observation is electromagnetic force.
Strength, weakness, and attraction are all objectively placed there, at least they cannot be used by us.
"Hydrogen, lithium, and sodium actually all have their own advantages and disadvantages. The reserve of lithium is indeed too small, but the lithium battery technology is mature and it is easier to modify it..."
Wang Yi left the culture dish of cardiomyocytes, came to another test bench, and picked up a small piece of metal Li-Ag lithium silver alloy!
This is one of the reasons why Wang Yi gave up decisively when Toyota only proposed the conditions for technology sharing despite the fact that hydrogen fuel cells have greater potential.
Lithium batteries require him to spend much less thought, and Wang Yi doesn't even need to make any major changes.
Lithium batteries are actually classified into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries generally use lithium alloy metal oxide as the positive electrode material, graphite as the negative electrode material, and use non-aqueous electrolyte. This is also the most commonly mentioned lithium battery in our daily life, such as 18650 lithium battery.
Lithium metal batteries generally use manganese dioxide as the positive electrode material, metallic lithium or its alloy metal as the negative electrode material, and use a non-aqueous electrolyte solution.
In fact, lithium metal itself is an excellent negative electrode material, with a theoretical capacity of 3860mAh/g. However, lithium itself is too reactive. During the charging and discharging process, it is easy to form dendrites and cause short circuits and other dangerous situations. It is also easy to mix with the air. react.
However, all Wang Yi needs to do now is to arrange a targeted array in the production workshop to interfere with the influence of the trace amount of silver in the Li-Ag alloy!
Suppress the active wave of lithium while retaining its excellent negative electrode properties!
And since silver is involved, Wang Yi has a way to magically modify the lithium battery.
Just keep it in check and don't come up with any black stuff that damages the conservation of energy.
At present, taking gasoline as an example, the energy density is about 12,000wh/kg. Even if the internal combustion engine itself has a limited conversion power and is discounted, compared with the energy density of 100-150wh/kg of commercialized lithium batteries, it is not at the same level.
Nowadays, lithium batteries are sufficient for small appliances such as mobile phones, but once they are used in the automotive field, they really can only rely on continuously increasing the weight of the battery to ensure battery life.
It can be said that the whole person is sitting on the battery!
Lithium batteries themselves are not resistant to high temperatures and impacts, so even if they are well protected, they still have potential risks.
Under such circumstances, many people will naturally be anxious about the prospect of new energy vehicles, especially range anxiety and safety anxiety.
But of course, since we have chosen this direction, new energy must have its own benefits. Needless to say, energy is the main reason for its rise. On the other hand, the motor is simple and not as complicated as a fuel vehicle.
So as long as the battery problem can be solved, the prospects for new energy vehicles will definitely be explosive!
It wasn't even completely solved, but it was achieved by relying on this pitiful energy density.
Because Li-Ag alloy is a bug-like plug-in for Wang Yi, what he needs to consider now is to make the battery as convenient as possible for mass production while ensuring energy conservation.
For example, now, Wang Yi has manually created a lithium battery with an energy density of 8100wh/kg and can be charged quickly. Although it is not as energy dense as gasoline, taking this thing out will ensure that the Nobel Prize will be awarded in advance. .
However, this was the case when Wang Yi cast the spell himself. In a normal factory workshop, it was impossible for him to squat in the machine and continuously buff new batteries, so he could only adopt a mass production model of the array similar to the culture medium.
Because of the laziness of natural magic, this efficiency will of course be greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the existence of Li-Ag alloy can help solve many problems.
"The requirements for mass production are not high. It is barely enough to retain one-tenth of the energy density."
After Wang Yi played with the thing in his hand, he put it down again.
Whether it is cardiomyocyte cultivation or the new battery, they are still stuck in mass production. However, relatively speaking, the problem of batteries sacrificing performance in exchange for mass production is not a big problem.
Cardiomyocytes cannot do this...
So regarding the issue of batteries, Umbrella has already arranged to acquire some related manufacturing plants, so that they can be put into commercial use as soon as they pass mass production design.
After stretching his muscles for a while, Wang Yi was ready to go out and take a short rest. Working in the laboratory for too long can easily lead to a state of exhaustion of inspiration, which cannot be compensated by turning on overclocking.
But the good thing now is that the ‘magic number’ theory has been thrown out, and gradually there are more and more mathematical papers on the ‘magic number’ framework.
Now it is not just the top mathematicians, some Ph.D.s are also starting to write papers in this direction.
Although it is a water paper, these papers that are obviously used to make up the numbers often make Wang Yi's eyes light up.
After all, the other party may not think this is practical, but it can be used by Wang Yi to operate magic.
Batteries and cardiomyocytes actually have the influence of magic numbers.
And now with Wang Yi's reputation and Umbrella's 'Red Queen', they can often invite some mathematicians to help openly, which makes Wang Yi feel happy...
……
"The big house is currently on the set reshooting scenes, and the little licking dog is in a meeting. Do I need to inform them?"
After Wang Yi came out of the laboratory, Lin Shiqin issued a reminder.
Lin Shiqin, who often cooks porridge for Wang Yi, has more contact with the two than Wang Yi himself.
"How is the filming of "Starry Sky" going?"
“The shooting process is almost complete, and we are still finishing some final shots, but it’s hard to do the special effects too quickly, right?”
Lin Shiqin asked.
Generally speaking, it is normal for film and television companies to delay the production of special effects for a year.
"It doesn't matter, the special effects company is owned by Umbrella anyway, so just treat it as the 'Red Queen' and expand the business of the 'Red Queen'."
"Okay, "Starry Sky World" is the first game that the Red Queen has participated in, and "Starry Sky" is the first movie. It seems normal."
In fact, many of the background settings in "Starry Sky World" were introduced by Lin Shiqin after reading the script of "Starry Sky" and then expanded.
When the game "Starry Sky World" came out, Ning Mu was immediately stunned after trying it. He never expected that there would be such a considerate game!
Because of this, he himself changed a lot of shots. Now Liu Xiaoke is actually reshooting because of the changed shots.
The current movie "Starry Sky" and "Starry Sky World" are highly consistent!
It can be said that taking advantage of the popularity of "Star World" and the special effects of the "Red Queen"'s first movie, a lot of promotional funds can be saved.
"Yes, we have to change the atmosphere of the movie. They are busy so there is no need to call. Find a few recommended restaurants where you can find food."
"Actually, if the boss becomes a food anchor, he will definitely become popular."
"Haha, really?"

I’m overdrafting the manuscript, so I’ll try my best to update it anyway, I’m sorry if it’s too little...
I don’t have a fever yet, I don’t know what’s going on
