Rebirth 2002: Nano Life

Vol 5 Chapter 16: The era of miniaturization

"As the world's richest man, you really can't justify without a private jet!" 270 was lying comfortably flat on the spacious seat, looking at the clouds outside the window to Chen Yizhe not far to the right.

In 2007, Chen Yizhe ranked fourth in the world with a net worth of RMB 321.7 billion and US$42 billion, ahead of Bill Gates, Buffett, and Mexican telecom giant Slimelu. In 2008, Chen Yizhe ranked fourth in the world's richest list with US$55 billion. Last year, affected by the global economic recession, the average net worth of the richest people on the list fell by 23% compared with the previous year, and the number of people on the list was less than 800, a thousand people less than in 2008.

Affected by the sharp drop in stock prices, last year's third-ranked Bill Gates lost $18 billion, while Buffett and Slim Elu, the first and second, lost $25 billion. And Chen Yizhe, whose net worth was not affected by the economic recession at all, surpassed Gates's $40 billion with $57 billion this year and became the number one richest person in the world.

The reason why Chen Yizhe's assets grew slower than in 2008 is because Chen Yizhe spent nearly 10 billion US dollars to buy Tuvalu. Otherwise, Chen Yizhe's assets will definitely rise again.

Although many people have long expected that Chen Yizhe will one day become the first position of the rich list, but they did not expect it to be so fast.

You know, among the top 100 Forbes list, there are only three under the age of 4 billion. Except for Chen Yizhe, there are two of Google's Sergey Brin and Larry Page, who are under the age of 30. Only Chen Yizhe was alone. With Chen Yizhe's age, he took this position, and the shock to the world can be imagined.

When the "Forbes" list came out in 2009, countries all over the world were reporting on this, and it is conceivable how crazy the domestic media and the masses were.

Someone once said that when China's GDP surpassed that of the United States and became the world's No. 1, the No. 1 on the Forbes Rich List at that time was likely to be a Chinese. However, without China's GDP surpassing the United States, the position of the richest man is still occupied by a Chinese.

A netizen on Tianya who was taught by a physical education teacher used his calculations to explain how rich Chen Yizhe is, "If Mr. Chen's net worth is divided among 1.2 billion Chinese, everyone can get 5 billion US dollars!"

Of course, it is not known whether it was a real mistake or intentional.

However, when Chen Yizhe was interviewed by the media, he said, "I don't think you should publicize my affairs, because my existence has widened the gap between the rich and the poor in the country. What I want to see is all the efforts. People who work and create value for the society can increase their wealth as they wish. One person is rich, it does not mean anything, but more than half of the people are rich, which represents the perfection of the system of this country.”

"If we allow the long-term existence of the social problem of the disparity between the rich and the poor, and we want to build a harmonious and hopeful socialist family with Chinese characteristics, then the domestic high-level must make great efforts to deepen the reform. Otherwise, this is not only inconsistent The universal values ​​of respecting human freedom and equal rights are even more incompatible with the core values ​​of socialism. Taking the path of common prosperity is the goal pursued by socialism, and 'polarization' is the 'evil road' that runs counter to it." Chen Yizhe From the issue of the gap between the rich and the poor comes a self-examination.

Of course, some people will think that Chen Yizhe is pretending to be coercive, but this is really what Chen Yizhe is saying.

"I'm not going to buy a private jet. When I finish building the car, I'll probably be ready to build a plane. When that time comes, I'll send you one for your round-the-world flight!" Chen Yizhe said with a smile.

"Building ships, cars, planes, rockets, land, sea and air, okay, Xia Meng is ready to do everything in the world?" 270 joked.

"I told you two years ago that I wanted to send you and Liang Hong to Mars? Believe me, this matter will definitely have a face in 10 years!" Chen Yizhe said.

"There are two concepts of appearance and realization. When you can really send people to Mars, it is estimated that Liang Hong and I are both old." 270 sighed.

"No, I will take you to Xia Meng's factory this time, and you will know that Xia Meng has the funds, technology, and talents to do such a thing!" Chen Yizhe laughed.

"Speaking of Xiameng's factory, I heard that many of the equipment in your foundry Chaorui has been replaced with 3D printers produced by your company. , the media broke the news that Xia Meng will use 3D printers to make cars, is this true? Since Yi Xia Meng’s 3D printing technology can even be realized with carbon-based chips, then printing cars shouldn’t be a problem, right?” 270 asked .

Due to the successful research and development of Xia Meng's 3D printing chip project, 3D printers have also become popular in the past two years, and many countries and enterprises have invested heavily in 3D research and development.

General Electric Company of the United States even publicly announced this year that it has used 3D printers to make the body engine of electric vehicles, and the technology of 3D printers to make cars is also known as the "Yadi Revolution".

On the other hand, 3D printers are fast, high-quality and do not require molds. In the future, punching machines, injection molding machines, compressors and other equipment will all withdraw from the stage of history. In the manufacture of metal molds, stamping, injection molding, beams, and stretch materials, for those who come into contact with the production of components, the risk is likely to be unemployment.

After listening to 270's question, Chen Yizhe shook his head, "In carbon-based chip printing, Xia Meng actually took a shortcut, and more importantly, it relies on the properties of graphene powder material molecules. The importance of 3D printing.”

Chip 3D printing, in fact, the most important thing is to rely on Chen Yizhe's provision of printing materials. If there is no such thing, it is estimated that in another 20 years, even if this technology appears, it is estimated that it will be limited by the problem of mass production of materials. It is difficult to enter Commercial areas.

"Of course, some auto parts have indeed begun to be produced by 3D printing, such as some complex structures, which consume little raw materials. However, for some structures with large areas and high strength, 3D printing is still difficult to win the traditional manufacturing industry. For example, the body of a car. As you know, modern car bodies are made by welding a panel bent by a compressor, and this panel can even reach 1500Mpa strength. 3D printers can theoretically make any shape, but only in theory Yes, the current technology can't even do the side panels, let alone the entire car body. This doesn't take advantage of the integration of 3D printers!"

"A long time ago, some people predicted that 3D printing technology will set off a new industrial revolution. It seems that this revolution is not a problem of too early or not, but a problem of whether it can be realized!" 270 laughed.

"When the car was first invented, people in the carriage laughed at whether the driver had a tortoise shell! The same is true for 3D printing. I believe it must have a greater impact than the car. With the gradual advancement of technology , the application of 3D printers will become more and more extensive, and it will not only set off a new industrial revolution, but also set off a revolution in people's lives."

For the research and development of 3D printers, Xia Meng has been investing heavily in research and development. Unlike traditional manufacturing, the advantages of 3D printing are that it does not require a lot of time to manufacture and produce abrasives, and the product cycle from design to production is short. For the smart city and smart factory plan proposed by Chen Yizhe to the Pengcheng government, the maturity of 3D printing technology is the key.

"What do you think human society will be like when 3D technology is mature?" Chen Yizhe asked.

"It feels like there will be a lot of changes. It seems that everyone can become a small factory! And it's still custom-made." 270 said after thinking for a while.

Chen Yizhe smiled and said to 270, "Let me tell you about my fantasy!"

"One morning in the future world.

The smart housekeeper woke up Xiaomei who was still sleeping. After taking a brief shower and changing her clothes, Xiaomei sat at the dining table and said to the smart dining table, 'Easy in the morning, let's have a glass of milk and a sandwich! ’

Then the table slowly opened, and a plate of printed sandwiches and milk was raised. After breakfast, Xiaomei stood in front of the full-length mirror again and said to the mirror, 'Look at the clothes style recommendations for this week. ’

Then, 3D patterns of many styles of clothes suddenly appeared in front of the mirror, Xiaomei hesitated for a long time and said, 'Leave the skirt, nothing else. ’

Then Xiaomei chose one of the skirt patterns, and after paying the credits online, there was a slight noise in the wardrobe.

After a while, Xiaomei opened the wardrobe, and a dress that was exactly the same as the photo appeared in the empty wardrobe~www.wuxiahere.com~ Because it was printed based on Xiaomei's body data, the dress fit perfectly with Xiaomei's body. The material uses reprintable materials, which can be reprinted at any time according to your own preferences. If you don't like it, you can change the appearance and color. Of course, these materials need to be purchased from merchants.

Xiaomei's house is also formed by 3D printing technology at one time, so the appearance is smooth, there is no seam between the plates, and the garage is also printed on the main body of the house. There is a car in the garage, the appearance of the car is a newly replaced red printed cover, and Xiaomei thinks: 'It matches my dress today! ’, happily sits in the car, pushes a button, and dusts off.

The place where Xiaomei is going is a beauty salon. She wants to treat her own skin. If it is scary, she will change her skin. The beauty salon uses the body cells of customers like Xiaomei to bioprint the skin tissue of a certain shape, and then replaces the old skin tissue of Xiaomei, so as to make Xiaomei more youthful! "

After talking about this fantasy, after 270 was digested, Chen Yizhe continued, "The future 3D printing technology will definitely be integrated into every corner of society. Human beings will go from the era of intelligent industrialization in 4.0 to the era of miniaturization in 5.0. Miniaturization embodies people's creativity in the microscopic world, when everyone can produce all kinds of things. Give you a planet, anyone can make it into the shape of the earth, think about how productive this is terrifying!"
