Chapter 748: I'm not embarrassed
Chapter 749
Gu Lu explained the general intention to Director Wen.
Originally.
Gu Lu and this Director Wen won't have much intersection.
Because Gu Lu just came here to borrow the venue and equipment.
But......
After Director Wen listened to what Gu Lu was going to do, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Director Wen rubbed his hands, and his small eyes were full of interest.
"This research sounds interesting, can I join it?" said Director Wen's tone with a hint of excitement.
Gu Lu smiled bitterly.
Gu Lu really didn't expect it.
Director Wen was also interested in this project.
Director Wen wanted to participate in the research of this project, but of course Gu Lu couldn't ask for it.
In the field of materials physics in China, Director Wen's strength should be able to steadily rank in the top ten.
With the participation of such a big hand, it is estimated that it will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Merely.
This is not something that Gu Lu can decide.
"I need the person in charge of my side to communicate. Gu Lu spoke to Director Wen with a slight apology.
Director Wen didn't show an uncomfortable expression, but gestured to Gu Lu with a smile.
Gu Lu nodded, took out his mobile phone and made a call to Director Bi.
"Director Bi, it's me, I've arrived at the Materials Physics Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There is something I need to ask you, it is like this, Director Wen of the Materials Physics Laboratory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences...... Mmmm, I see, I'll convey your words to Director Wen. ”
Gu Lu briefly explained the situation to Director Bi and consulted Director Bi's opinion.
Director Bi's thoughts were similar to Gu Lu's.
Director Wen, a big man in the field of materials physics, I don't know how many project teams have promised many favorable conditions, but they have not invited him once.
And now.
Their Long March 9 rocket R&D base can prostitute Director Wen for nothing.
Of course, you have to agree without any hesitation!
Thereupon.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Lu smiled and said to Director Wen, "Director Wen, the above agreed." ”
"Haha, that's great. Director Wen laughed, and it could be seen that he was really interested in this project.
Director Wen put his arm around Gu Lu's shoulders and pointed out the door, "Professor Gu, let's go, I'll take you to visit our laboratory, and then decide on a specific research plan." ”
Then.
Gu Lu was led around the entire laboratory by Director Wen.
This laboratory deserves to be regarded as the most advanced materials physics laboratory in China.
Almost all of its internal equipment is the most advanced in the world, and of course, its cost is naturally expensive.
There are even some instruments.
It was the first time Gu Lu had seen it with his own eyes.
At last.
Director Wen led Gu Lu into a separate room.
Right in the middle of the room.
Placed was a bulky piece of equipment, flanked by several researchers in white coats operating the instrument.
Director Wen pulled Gu Lu to the instrument, and introduced Gu Lu in a slightly proud tone, "Professor Gu, this guy is the largest and most valuable piece of equipment in our entire laboratory, does Professor Gu recognize what this is?"
Gu Lu was speechless for a moment, "Commercial quantum computer!"
Director Wen laughed, "Professor Gu really has good eyesight, this is a commercial quantum computer!"
After hearing Director Wen's compliments, the corners of Gu Lu's mouth twitched subconsciously.
If it were other equipment, Gu Lu might not be able to recognize it.
But quantum computers are ...... I developed it!
I don't know each other!
Gu Lu was silently complaining, and Director Wen was still showing off his tone to introduce the quantum computer in front of Gu Lu.
"Professor Gu, you may not know that this quantum computer was built by the Quantum Information Laboratory next door to us, and it is the first in the world to be built, faster than IBM and Google in the United States. To be honest, I really admire the group of people in the quantum information laboratory next door, obviously lagging behind European and American countries in the research and development process of quantum computers, but they can still overtake in corners against the sky, which is really a disadvantage!" Director Wen's tone was full of admiration.
Gu Lu touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
Being praised so much by others, to be honest, it's really ...... I'm sorry.
Gu Lu's words changed and he changed the subject, "I heard that such a commercial quantum computer is quite expensive. ”
"yes, it's quite expensive. Director Wen patted the big guy in front of him, "Now a quantum computer sells for almost two million dollars outside, but we live under the same roof as the quantum optics laboratory next door, so they gave us a 20% discount, which is considered an internal price." ”
"However, even if it is the internal price, it still costs 1.6 million US dollars, which is really painful!" When he said this, Director Wen's chubby face really showed a painful expression, "However, this thing is really easy to use, before some data was put into the computer for two or three days to calculate the result, now with this quantum computer, the result can be calculated in less than a second, which is very convenient!"
Director Wen gave this quantum computer a good review, and then silently added, "Of course, it would be better if it could be cheaper." ”
The corners of Gu Lu's mouth twitched again.
But......
From Director Wen's mouth, Gu Lu also learned that commercial quantum computers are really good at the moment, and even a material physics laboratory that does not require too much data computing has been popularized.
After being led around the laboratory by Director Wen, Gu Lu and Director Wen went to a studio.
Inside the studio.
Director Wen had already had a lot of materials put on the test bench in advance.
Most of the materials placed on the test bench are high-temperature resistant materials, such as chromium alloys and titanium diboride.
After all.
The biggest problem faced by the housing materials of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engines is the problem of high temperatures.
But.
Cost issues are also taken into account.
Chromium alloy is resistant to high temperatures is good, and also fully meets the various conditions of becoming a liquid hydrogen liquid oxygen engine shell.
But it's so expensive!
A liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engine alone is estimated to use hundreds of millions of chromium alloys.
It is expected that the Long March 9 rocket will be equipped with six liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen engines.
This costs ......
It's not at all ordinary.
It's just that it's unaffordable.
So.
At this time.
You need a material.
While ensuring that it can withstand the pressure in the vacuum and the high temperature of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen combustion, the cost is not so high.
