If possible, bring back more samples.
Not long after arranging the work, Xing Baohua received a call from Zhang Dongshuo saying that the temporary laboratory had exploded.
Xing Baohua was so startled that she jumped up from her chair.
First, ask Zhang Dongshuo if he has anything to do.
Zhang Dongshuo didn't care about his own health, saying he was fine, and told Xing Baohua to find a way to replace the transformer as soon as possible, to replace it with a high-power, high-wattage one, otherwise the transformer would explode again when he turned it on.
The transformer exploded!
Xing Baohua was really startled just now; he thought it was something done by enemy agents.
He didn't have anything else to do at the moment, so he went to the temporary testing site. At the same time, he called Liu Quan at the rice factory and notified the power plant's technicians to hurry to the temporary laboratory in Guoli Town to check on the situation, as they urgently needed electricity.
When Xing Baohua arrived at the location, he learned that the transformer was not inside the temporary laboratory site, but rather at a substation built about fifty meters outside the laboratory's perimeter wall.
It has a separate building. This substation supplies electricity to several surrounding villages and factories.
Theoretically speaking, this substation has the required capacity; it could accommodate even a few more factories.
But they didn't know that the electricity required for the temporary laboratory, which they just turned on briefly, was equivalent to three months' worth of electricity for them.
It's common knowledge that lithography equipment consumes a lot of electricity, but with slight modifications, the amount of electricity required for lithography of quantum chip circuits is staggering.
In just a moment, the transformer exploded, but the losses for QuantumCore were also enormous.
At least one sapphire crystal is ruined, and the chain reaction is to check all the equipment to see where the circuit was damaged by the high current.
Especially the motherboards of precision equipment, these things are prone to burning out.
This shutdown for inspection will take at least three to five days.
Xing Baohua talked with Zhang Dongshuo and tried to get someone to calculate the required electrical capacity so that they could replace the transformer with a larger capacity one.
If the replacement is too small, it's still easy for it to explode.
"This is the first time we've tested the transformer, and this has already happened. I had someone contact the town's power supply company and they agreed that I needed a lot of electricity today, and they said they would dispatch it if it wasn't enough. Who knew the transformer couldn't handle such a large current?" Zhang Dongshuo complained.
"It's alright, we can do it again after checking all the equipment," Xing Baohua said reassuringly.
"We don't know yet whether the trial engraving will be successful."
"I've discovered that you're even more cunning than I am. Haste makes waste. If you don't succeed, just wait until you do. It's always good to accumulate experience."
Hearing Xing Baohua's words, Zhang Dongshuo nodded and sighed, "One failure is equivalent to losing a million. Gone in the blink of an eye."
"I'll say it again, don't give me any excuses about not spending money. You say you can blink, I can make you blink for a year, without stopping."
Zhang Dongshuo felt that Xing Baohua was trying to comfort him. He also knew that Xing Baohua had several major projects underway, either building or researching building construction.
If cross-disciplinary chips start burning through money, they could burn down a skyscraper.
If you're lucky, you might burn down a small building.
As the two were chatting, Liu Quan arrived with the power plant's technical department and construction team, and exchanged a few words with the people from the on-site power supply station.
When Liu Quan saw Xing Baohua, he came over to greet him and then repeated what the power company workers in the town had said: "I just heard them say that the electricity used here has been used up in three months? Wow, what kind of thing is so powerful?"
"There are too many people here, so I can only tell you a secret. If you want to know, wait a few years."
"Okay, I won't ask. Hey, are they going into the factory?" Liu Quan said, turning his head to look at the substation. He saw that the people he brought and the people from the power supply bureau were going into the temporary laboratory together, which is why he said that.
"No way you can get in. The security is so tight, they're armed to the teeth. Even Hutian Prison isn't this secure. They don't let flies out over there, they don't let flies in over here."
You're just swaggering in like that, have you forgotten the rules about rice?
Xing Baohua gestured to Liu Quan and said, "Go and handle this."
Sure enough, the electricians were prevented from entering through a checkpoint, no matter the reason.
"Hey, I called you here to work, not to come in and have a look around," Liu Quan shouted from behind.
The person in front of him seemed to be a squad leader. When he saw Liu Quan arrive, he pushed through a few people to get to Liu Quan and said, "Director Liu, you told us to replace the transformer as soon as possible. That's no problem. We can't calculate how big of a transformer we need based on the power consumption, so we want to go in and take a look at the equipment inside to calculate the power."
“This is a classified unit. Even I can’t go in. Here’s what we’ll do: install the transformer according to the power capacity of the Institute of Optoelectronics,” Liu Quan said.
The construction team leader's expression changed as well. Good heavens, this place isn't big, but it consumes such an astonishing amount of electricity? You have to know that the lithography institute has a 500 kV power grid.
If the upgrade is carried out on that scale, the substation will be upgraded to a substation, which will require a lot of additional transformers.
At least two main transformers are needed, which makes this a large project and requires a larger area.
This can't be completed in a day or two; completing it in a month would be considered fast.
Just as the construction foreman was about to speak, Liu Quan said, "I'll give you half a month to make the changes. Can you guarantee you'll complete the task?"
The construction foreman shook his head and said, "Director Liu, this isn't an upgrade, it's a complete rebuild! There are also procedures like approval from the power supply bureau that will take time."
As he spoke, he also looked at the electrician from the town's power supply bureau.
