Of course, the situation here also attracted higher-level official attention, and immediately conducted an investigation on his Tianyuan optics. Finally, it was found that the company was not simple.
They found that Tianyuan optics was actually a subsidiary of Tiangong technology, and the colorless optical glass produced by Tianyuan optics was naturally a modified type of special glass produced by Wang Bin''s Tiangong technology.
Therefore, the superiors did not obstruct the cooperation between Tianyuan optics and local officials to establish the world''s largest aperture optical telescope. They even sent a professional team and allocated a special fund to support it.
After all, this is different from those who build high-rise buildings and face projects. This is a real world-class scientific and technological equipment! It can definitely be called the scientific and technological peak of astronomical instruments and equipment in the world.
Naturally, the superior is also very supportive. At the same time, the superior is also watching. If this telescope can be built, other parts of China must build more or even larger optical astronomical telescopes. As long as there are more and larger astronomical telescopes, National Astronomy and cosmology, there can be greater development.
At the same time, just after Tianyuan optics announced this matter, a meeting is also being held in a space center in the northwest.
The main content of this meeting is also closely related to their Tianyuan optics, or Tiangong technology.
In the past two years, the space center also wants to build a large space telescope, just like the Hubble telescope of the bald eagle.
However, the space center or China does not have any problems in other aspects, but the main lens of the telescope is stuck. There is no way at all. After all, for things like this, the blockade of Huaxia by foreign manufacturers is very strict. Even smaller lenses will not be sold to Huaxia, Not to mention bigger ones.
The most important thing is that the space center''s ambition is also very big. It didn''t matter before, but now if you want to do it, you have to do the best.
Therefore, according to their preliminary assumption, the diameter of the main lens of the space orbit telescope they want to manufacture must at least reach more than three meters, and the main lens with such diameter, not to mention Huaxia, even the bald eagle does not have it.
Therefore, although they have been trying to solve this problem in the past two years, they have never made any breakthrough. Manufacturing such telescope lenses requires not only ultra-high-precision equipment, but also ordinary optical glass.
Now, Tianyuan optics under Tiangong technology can manufacture optical telescopes with an export diameter of 78.6 meters, so it must be no problem for them to manufacture the main lens of space orbit astronomical telescopes they need!
As for why Tiangong technology is not Tianyuan optics under Tiangong technology, the problem is very simple, that is, although the colorless optical glass of Tianyuan optics is very advanced.
However, Tiangong technology also has more advanced special glass. At the same time, Tiangong technology also has various high-precision processing equipment that Tianyuan optics does not have, which are essential equipment for manufacturing orbital space telescopes.
Therefore, on the day after Tianyuan optics announced the matter, a group of people rushed up in the northwest and flew towards Tiangong technology.
Of course, Wang Bin doesn''t know all this. Even though he knows something about Tianyuan optics under Tiangong technology.
At the same time, he also knows that Tianyuan optics was developing a super large aperture astronomical telescope before, but he doesn''t know the specific process. After all, in his opinion, even if Tianyuan optics has the optical glass technology provided by Tiangong technology, it can''t be completed in a few years,
However, it was unexpected that their R & D process was far beyond Wang Bin''s expectation. It took only a few months to complete the R & D and manufacturing, which definitely gave Wang Bin a great surprise.
However, on the day after Tianyuan optics announced that it would build a world-class super large aperture telescope with local officials, several international optical lens manufacturers announced at almost the same time that they would eliminate the restrictions on the large aperture lens of optical telescopes in China. At the same time, they also welcomed the cooperation of various astronomical R & D institutions and local officials in China.
However, to their embarrassment, except one or two R & D institutions, none of them expressed their intention of cooperation at the first time. Even the astronomical R & D institutions that contacted them, the telescope they ordered was not large, only one or two meters, and the price was very low, even half of the normal price.
How can foreign lens manufacturers promise such a price? After all, they are not Tianyuan optics. The price of telescope lenses they manufacture is very high. Even when they are sold to their own country, the price is not cheap, let alone sold to China.
In addition, they also announced the lifting of the ban on some other countries, such as a large country in the north.
Now Huaxia has manufactured the main lens of large-diameter astronomical telescope. With the personality of Huaxia manufacturers, they will not only meet their domestic market, but also look at the international market.
There are only a few countries in the world capable of building large-diameter astronomical telescopes.
Therefore, they naturally want to quickly seize the market, and even if they do not lift the ban, it is naturally very easy to import such lenses from China based on the relationship between a country in the north and China.
Therefore, once Huaxia is made, their ban is equivalent to nothing.
Tianyuan optics of Tiangong technology does not care about the series of actions of foreign astronomical telescopes and lens manufacturers, but continues to steadily promote the cooperation between them and local officials, and begins to prepare to build this big guy with a caliber of 78.6 meters on the top of Cangshan Mountain. After completion, it will weigh more than 8000 tons.
Of course, Tianyuan optics has made a breakthrough in the main lens, auxiliary lens and other lenses of astronomical telescopes. In fact, their R & D work in other lenses has also entered a new stage during this period.
After all, if there is no breakthrough in these aspects, they will definitely not be able to manufacture telescope main lenses with such a large export diameter.
Therefore, the world''s major optical glass giants at this time have felt the real threat of Tianyuan optics to them, but there is no good way for Tianyuan optics. After all, Tianyuan optics is different from the previous bearing steel.
Even before being acquired by Wang Bin, Tianyuan optics itself had a large share in the domestic optical glass market.
Even in the world, many manufacturers buy their optical glass. Although their share in the world is very small, it is undeniable that the optical glass made by their company before is really good.
In addition, after being acquired by Wang Bin and using the technology provided by Wang Bin, the quality of the optical glass manufactured by Tianyuan optics has been qualitatively improved, and its market share is also increasing rapidly, especially in the domestic high-end optical glass market. With the efforts of Tianyuan optics over this period of time, it now accounts for almost more than 80% of the market.
After all, before that, the lens in this field was strictly prohibited from flowing into China from abroad. In addition, Tianyuan optics quietly manufactured high-end glass and has not carried out any publicity, so when someone with a heart found it, Tianyuan optics has almost occupied more than 80% of the high-end optical glass in China.
With a solid domestic test run as the backing, Tianyuan optics is not afraid of foreign manufacturers.
