Chapter 420: Invitation
"According to what you say, this alloy steel has no value, it will break when you fall, and it is difficult to use" Xu Ping'an looked at Barry and said directly.
"Boss, this is just the current result, the direction is there, we should be able to make a breakthrough in the subsequent experiments, according to speculation, the use of super alloy steel to produce spacecraft in space can increase the service life in space by two to three times"
"Once we make a breakthrough, humanity will take an important step towards space," Barry said with a serious expression, and Xu Ping'an nodded with a smile.
"It's good to keep your eyes normal, don't be in a hurry to make this product break through for the time being" Xu Ping'an said directly, Barry was completely stunned, and looked at Xu Ping'an with a puzzled expression.
"Barry, carefully analyze the international situation, the current international situation is very dangerous, once we break through at this time, this super alloy steel will definitely be used in spacecraft"
"However, it is more likely that these spacecraft are carrying weapons of destruction, and we must be cautious and increase our efforts to study when the international situation changes" Xu Ping'an explained slightly, and Barry understood what was going on.
Some of the practices of the United States can be described as global opposition, but there is no way for the people of the world, the military power of the United States is too strong, and now the military power of the earth has lost its balance.
Again, the military spending of the United States has risen year after year, and it is obvious that the United States is deliberately maintaining its hegemony, and the focus is not on human development at all.
This is not a good sign, once some countries are forced to stand it, it is very likely that a nuclear war will break out, and at that time, whether mankind can continue is a question.
"I understand, I will control the progress" Barry took a deep breath and said directly, understanding Xu Ping'an's worries, people in the scientific community are also worried about the performance of this section of the country, how could Barry be an exception.
After chatting with Xu Ping'an for a while, Barry said goodbye, Xu Ping'an sent Barry to take a shower and went directly to rest, it was really tiring to take a plane, if he hadn't planned to build one, he would have bought a plane a long time ago.
The next day, Xu Ping'an went directly to the research institute to inspect, and after a circle, Xu Ping'an was really surprised that Giles, a stubborn old man, had joined forces with Peggy.
Giles' goal is to create an inexpensive aerospace material, Peggy's goal is to create a super steel that can resist space corrosion, and the price of iron is undoubtedly low, which is very much in line with Giles's goals.
And a failed project that Peggy has just completed proves that the low-cost super alloy steel is fully in line with the goals of the two, and the two old men communicate with each other, and the two teams are directly merged into one team, and they are fully committed to the development of alloy steel.
In front of Xu Ping'an, the two directly handed Barry an experimental plan with a budget of up to one billion euros, Barry knew what Xu Ping'an meant, and looked at the plan in his hand, the flesh on his face was twitching.
Xu Ping'an patted Barry on the shoulder, Barry accepted the plan, bluntly said that it needed to be reviewed, and would reply to the two in a few days, and the two didn't care, and communicated with Xu Ping'an for a while and went directly into the laboratory research.
Four different experiments were carried out at the same time, which shows how much enthusiasm the two put in, creation, the word has an incomparable temptation for scientists, money and treatment do not care very much, and completing their own creation is the only goal.
Neren has also returned to continue working on the second generation of carbon crystal solar panels, and there are already four people in the original team who have been in other project groups, and the current team is being reorganized.
Neeron's global tour lasted for a year, and those researchers couldn't wait for a year, anyway, they didn't leave the Apocalypse Group, and they were still in the same research institute and directly participated in other project teams.
Only one person named Lammoud submitted a research application report, and the new carbon crystal project was approved by Barry to carry out the research independently, and Barry accompanied four assistants.
Diamond is a solid carbon material that is processed into gemstones to become diamonds, and the technology of synthetic diamonds has become very common, and Lamund's project is to synthesize a synthetic carbon crystal that is more than three times harder than natural diamond.
The focus of this synthetic carbon crystal is on the use of optics, specifically laser weapons, and the current lack of huge development of laser weapons in the world is because of the limitations of materials, and Lamund's research is to change this situation.
If it really succeeds, the laser guns and laser cannons in the sci-fi movies are no longer dreams, and it is entirely possible to achieve them, Barry carefully reviewed Lammud's background, and there were no problems before approving it.
Ramoud holds a German passport, was born in Syria, immigrated to Germany with his family before the country's civil war, and holds a doctorate in optical materials from the University of Dresden, a disciple of Niren.
The Apocalypse Institute of Advanced Materials was established, and when Neren joined the institute, he also brought Lamud into the institute, and in Neelen's words, Lamud was a very talented student.
Barry was able to approve Lammud's plan because Neeron spoke, otherwise Barry would not have dared to approve this plan, which is very costly.
The success of the carbon crystal solar panels brought Neren great prestige and changed Neeron's way of doing things, and the transformation from a prickly professor who was originally unconvinced to a very gregarious scientist surprised everyone who knew Neeron.
However, everyone would prefer to see this kind of change in Niren, not to mention that Neren wrote a 39-point recommendation letter for his students, so that these students successfully joined many famous research institutes.
Without exception, these students must be grateful to Niren and have posted articles in the media that Neren is a good mentor with high moral character, which has added a lot of prestige to Niren.
Once these students grow up in the major research institutes in the future, Neren will have more prestige in the scientific community, and not only that, but at the University of Dresden, Niren will also lower his profile and admit that he has made mistakes in the past and reconciled with a few undealing professors.
Admitting his mistakes in Niren's current status has given the opponent enough face, and there is no point in fighting any longer, in the words of Niren's heart, he is no longer a person of the same world as them today, so there is no need to be angry.
At noon, Xu Ping'an had a drink with Barry, Niren, Polis and other old researchers, and they didn't drink less, and they rested directly in the afternoon, and no one had any opinions.
Xu Ping'an is also happy today, many projects in the institute have made great progress, and it is expected that at the end of this year, there will be a peak period of results.
Early the next morning, Barry arrived at the hotel where Xu Ping'an was staying, and the two drank tea in the living room, "Boss, the funds handed over by our institute this year are estimated to be reduced a lot."
"What is the reason," Xu Ping'an asked after taking a sip of tea.
"A lot of equipment is going to be replaced, and the price is expensive, and it is estimated that it will cost about 800 million euros," Barry pouted and said, Xu Ping'an also smiled bitterly.
"It's been a few years, and it's time to replace it, has the new generation of products been greatly improved," Xu Ping'an asked directly.
"Yes, a lot of them have improved dramatically, with more accuracy, and all kinds of configurations have been multiplied," Barry said directly.
"Let's change it, Pippen on the Austrian side also plans to replace a batch of research equipment, as well as the British Institute of Renewable Resources, the Celestial Empire's General Research Institute, all of which will replace the equipment."
"Don't forget to sell the old equipment at a good price," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.
"Boss, this is a certainty, our current equipment is high-end goods for many countries, much better than the equipment of their own research institutes"
"I'm not sure about the others, if the equipment of the Celestial Empire Research Institute is sold, I believe that many Celestial Empire research institutes are rushing to ask for it, and the price of the equipment here is the first point, and countries like India are also rushing to ask for it," Barry said with great certainty.
Xu Ping'an nodded, acknowledging this, the reason why the research institute of Tianqi Group has been able to make many breakthroughs is that the world's top experimental equipment has a great credit, and we all know this.
In terms of the simplest test-tube centrifugal equipment, the centrifuge of the Tianqi Research Institute has the highest speed and separation factor, and the price is ten times that of ordinary centrifuges, and the accuracy of the results is 22% higher than that of ordinary centrifuges.
The slightest difference can give birth to a new result, and this is the benefit of advanced equipment, but unfortunately, this advanced equipment has a lot of limitations, and it is not something you can buy if you want to.
Tianqi Group has been secretly warned many times when purchasing equipment, only allowing you to use it yourself, and if you find that you are using the experimental equipment for other research institutes, you will directly cut off the supply.
The old equipment that has been used for more than three years can be handled by Tianqi Group by itself, because the high-precision experimental equipment is basically in the half-fee stage after about three years of operation, and the data has a certain deviation and the value has decreased sharply.
At this time, it is difficult for you to carry out high-end project research, which is the fundamental reason why the cost of the institute remains high, and the research equipment really costs money.
If the equipment prices of several major research institutes of Tianqi Group are added up, it will properly exceed 10 billion euros, which is a standard that many national research institutes cannot meet.
"It seems that this year it is not only your side that will have to pay less, but other research institutes are no exception, the Austrian side needs more than 600 million euros, and the British Gilbert submitted a budget of up to 1.2 billion euros for equipment replacement."
"Chen Fansheng's side has not yet been counted, and it can be expected that the cost will not be lower than that of the British side, and it is expected to cost about 5 billion euros in total."
"Seriously, I feel pain when I think about it" Xu Ping'an said with a bitter face, and Barry also smiled and nodded to show understanding.
The two drank tea and discussed the follow-up development of the institute, and at the same time, they also communicated about the progress of some projects, which can increase R&D efforts and those that need to control the speed of R&D.
In Marseille, France, Thompson, the group that came to invite Antonio, breathed a long sigh of relief in the hotel, Antonio finally returned, and when the group arrived in Marseille, Antonio went on vacation with his girlfriend.
Antonio's current name is Gardner, and the people around him don't know that Gardner is Antonio who has the title of [Humanoid Nuclear Bomb], and he is very well hidden, and has lived in the local area for seven years.
Gardner and his girlfriend Grace came to the travel party for a day off, and after Gerry drove out that day, Thompson took someone to ring the doorbell at Gardner's house, and soon, the door was opened.
