Silicon Valley

In the golden autumn of October, the rice began to turn yellow and the leaves began to fall. The breeze is blowing, with a hint of coolness. Violet came to Henry's office wearing a white shirt and black pants, holding a stack of documents.

"Your Majesty, this is the information on building schools in African countries!"

Violet gently placed the document on Henry's desk and said, "According to our current statistics, 207,000 schools have been included in the project! Among them, there are 198,000 ordinary primary schools and 5,000 ordinary high schools. , 550 adult high schools, 1,000 junior colleges, 2,000 technical schools, 450 universities, and more schools will join our project in succession!!!”

"Well, very good!" Henry nodded.

Violet continued to say at this time: "Williams Electronics Group is fully producing projectors. In addition, in order to build computer rooms for each school and let African children access the Internet, Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. is producing Hongnian computers in large quantities. !"

"Well, it's time for African children to see the world!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Internet can broaden their horizons, and after that, they will know that there are still so many developed and rich places in the world!"

Henry smiled and said: "Yes, and at the same time let them know that the Williams Empire gave them the opportunity to go to school to change their life orders, and let them know that the Williams Empire is the richest, most powerful and most dependable in the world s country!"

"Of course, as you wish, Your Majesty! These students will definitely be grateful to you and the Williams Empire in the future!!!"

"Haha, if this is the case, it would be the best! By the way, dear Violet, what else is in the document, you can continue to talk!" Henry closed his eyes slightly, leaned back on the chair lazily, enjoying With the breeze blowing on my face, reading documents by myself is not as comfortable as listening to Violet's voice.

"Okay, Your Majesty," Violet nodded, and said, "Due to the arduous construction tasks, Alpha Company and 3D printing company ZCorp jointly developed a 3D printing engineering vehicle called 'Miracle Robot', which has a A robotic arm with a total length of 23.5 meters, with 3D printer nozzles installed on the arm, can be used to print houses. The floor height of teaching buildings should not be less than 3.3 meters. Assuming it is 3.5 meters, then the "Miracle Robot" can build 6 1st floor teaching building!"

"The Miracle robot works very fast. It can print a two-story house with a height of about 230 square meters within 24 hours! At present, cement concrete can be used as the material, and it can be printed with a 3D printer according to the pre-design of the design drawing. The nozzle sprays out high-density, high-performance concrete, and prints out walls, compartments, decorations, etc. layer by layer, and then uses the robotic arm to complete the basic structure of the entire house. The whole process is controlled by a computer program. In order to save building materials, the Miracle robot prints out The walls are hollow, and although lighter in weight, they have a strength factor of about 10,000 psi (that is, they can withstand 10,000 pounds of pressure per square inch)—far more than the walls of traditional houses, and they also save 20%-25% The funds and 25%-30% of the materials!

The biggest saving of the Miracle robot is manpower. By using 3D printers, the Miracle robot will save 45% to 55% of labor. Correspondingly, it will use less energy and emit less carbon dioxide, which not only greatly reduces costs, but also Greatly increased speed!

The Miracle robot can also make building components into any shape according to needs, not necessarily the traditional straight line. For example, it can make the wall of the house have a unique curved or wavy appearance, which not only enriches the beauty of the building, but also conforms to the economy. and environmental benefits. In addition, it can also show its talents in the reconstruction of disaster areas and the transformation of slum areas! "Villet paused, and said, "Its market prospects are unlimited, especially for the real estate industry! ! ! "

Henry nodded and said, "Well, yes, with the Miracle robot, building a house in the future will not only be faster and more beautiful, but also more cost-effective!" Henry paused and asked, "A Miracle robot How much does it cost?"

"About $65,000." Violet replied.

"Then even if it sells for 100,000 US dollars, there must be a company willing to buy it!" Henry murmured.

"Of course, with the Miracle robot, the real estate company can save a lot of money!" Violet said with certainty, "However, the current production capacity is insufficient, even our own. Alpha Company is expanding the factory!"

At this moment, Henry thought to himself, the Miracle robot is an engineering vehicle, in fact, it is not much different from the 3D printing vehicle on the moon, but it has been improved a lot and the printing accuracy has been improved.

"Williet, please remember to inform Alpha Company later to let them develop drone 3D printers. Some places cannot be driven by vehicles. African countries are not rich in the first place. I am afraid that many places do not have roads yet, but the construction of schools is urgent. The human-machine 3D printer may come in handy! In addition, if we want to build a building with 7 floors or more, the drone 3D printer can work with the Miracle robot to solve the pain point that the robot arm is not long enough!"

"Okay, Your Majesty, then I will notify Alpha Company now!"

"Well, let's go!"

After Violet left the office, Henry got up and poured himself a glass of red wine. While drinking the wine, he thought about a question: It would be great if building materials could also become very cheap!

What is the biggest impression of Africa?

poverty? desert?

Yes, there are both, and the two are very much related. If the soil is fertile, Africans can cultivate the land and will not starve to death, but is the soil fertile? The soil is not fertile, and the desert occupies a large area, so Africans always starve to death.

If the sand in the desert can be made into building materials, then the desert is valuable! The most important point is that Henry has bought so many deserts and will build cities on them in the future. It is impossible to transport building materials from far away places. It would take a lot of time, effort and money, and they must be local materials!

It's just that desert sand is too fine to be used to build houses. Therefore, Henry faced a huge problem. He had to ask people to study how to turn sand into treasure and become a safe and stable building material!

Immediately, Henry called Williams Super Materials and ordered his request!
