From Li Xi's mouth, I learned that the life span can indeed be extended, which is a big news, a great news. When you go back, you can write a lot in the newspaper, and you don't have to worry about no one believing you.

The huge public opinion brought about by this is absolutely sensational. It's just such news, for these reporters, this visit to the island is already worth it.

Of course, there are certainly some journalists who are unwilling, that is, they are not here for the news at all. But Li Xi obviously doesn't care about the thoughts of these people.

At that moment, I took the reporters to see Professor Xu's research room. In this research room, we are studying engine manufacturing technology. Of course, it was specifically to deal with these reporters that the technology of building engines was re-studied.

However, when it comes to research, there is actually a big problem. Because the manufacturing technology of the engine has been studied. Of course, in the quantum teleportation array, they discovered the energy amplification technology again, but this technology is definitely impossible to take out in this place. Just the engine manufacturing technology, when taken out, is enough to shock these reporters.

Get in now.

The first is an engine that has already been installed.

When a group of reporters saw the engine, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked what was going on with this engine. Obviously, it is impossible for an ordinary engine to appear on a small island, and due to the particularity of a small island, what appears on an island must not be an ordinary thing.

Professor Xu came out and explained, "This is the latest form of engine technology, but so far, we have no plans to take this engine out for the time being." ”

A reporter hurriedly asked, "Professor Xu, is there anything special about this engine?"

Professor Xu smiled, "Didn't you notice that this engine doesn't have a water tank?"

The engine is very complex, but the most important thing is that there is no cooling tank, and of course, various other wiring also causes this engine to use energy more thoroughly. The average engine, not to mention using 50% of the energy, is good to be able to use 20 or 30 percent of the energy. Most of the energy is eventually wasted.

As soon as these reporters took a look, they immediately found that there was a difference in this engine, that is, Professor Xu said that there was no water tank, but in addition, there was something else, that is, this engine, which had many complex components on it, which conducted energy out and went through a long process. Of course, this long process also leads to the energy in it being able to be used more fully.

The reporters were amazed. Of course, the engine without a water tank, not nothing, many aircraft engines are without a water tank, but which engine can have this so complex?

Some reporters, apparently having investigated Professor Xu's origins, hurriedly asked, "Professor Xu, is this the engine you studied in your previous research institute?"

"Yes, but no. Professor Xu's answer was very cautious, "The research is indeed research, but this research is a drawing given to me by Mr. Li, and I myself just made it according to the drawings." However, in the original company, I had to say that I had researched it myself. ”

"With the current level of technology, even if I wanted to study it, I would definitely not be able to develop such an engine. So, at that time, to be exact, they said that I had researched it, but in fact, they had exalted me too much, and I myself did not have that ability. ”

Professor Xu was very modest, but this was obviously not what the reporters cared about, so someone soon asked, "Professor Xu, what are the characteristics of your engine technology?"

"Features?" Professor Xu smiled, "The feature is very simple, that is, it can use energy more fully, and at the same time, there is no need for the water tank to be cooled." As for the energy usage rate, according to my research, it should be at least five to ten times that of the original engine. ”

"Five times to ten times?" This time, it was the turn of the reporters to marvel, in today's energy scarcity and increasing consumption, it is extremely amazing to be able to have five to ten times the energy use rate, so that anyone can look at it.

"This is too high, isn't it?" If there are really five to ten times, these reporters obviously have cars, of course, in addition to Xia Guo, many other GUOJIA, especially Corn Country, cars are really cheap and cheap. Even if you only have a salary of 2,000 yuan or even more than 1,000 yuan a month, saving a little and paying in installments is enough for you to buy a good car. Of course, this car may not be a big deal in the corn country, but in the summer country, the price is still at least two or three hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands.

Generally speaking, even after conversion, the price of Xia Guo cars is still more than twice that of Corn Country. If you don't convert, it is about fifteen times more difficult to buy a car.

As a corn country with a car in hand, driving is really normal, so everyone is very aware of the problem of fuel consumption when driving.

Of course, their fuel consumption is still acceptable, because a gallon of 3.8 liters is only a little more than two dollars.

But even so, these people still think that oil is expensive.

Being able to increase energy efficiency by a factor of five to ten means that they consume only one-fifth or even one-tenth of their original fuel consumption.

But these are not the most important things, because it is not possible to arouse huge public opinion, but the important thing is that in the case of large fuel savings, we know how important it is to improve the environment in the increasingly warm weather.

And such a factor is what makes reporters most concerned.

At that moment, a reporter asked: "Mr. Li, do you plan to promote this engine technology?"

Li Xixiao said very tactfully, "So far, although this technology has been studied, it still faces some problems in terms of materials and specific use, that is, the problem of immature technology." Therefore, if you want to promote it, I am afraid it will take some time. ”

"When do you expect to be able to promote such a technology?" another reporter asked.

Li Xi said: "The time is uncertain, about one or two decades, it is estimated that it will be about the same." ”

Within one or twenty years, it doesn't even take that long, Li Xi can build a moon city in three or five years, or even a shorter time, to build a moon and moon city, and even a Mars and Mars city.

And once you get to the extraterrestrial, it will be much easier to take out such a technology again.

However, a reporter from Xia Guolai suddenly asked: "Mr. Li, will you take out such a technology and hand it over to GUOJIA? or do you plan to cooperate with GUOJIA in business?"

Li Xi scolded secretly in his heart, but his mouth was very calm, "I have no such plans for the time being." ”

"Oh!" the reporter looked a little disappointed, but soon stopped asking.

But the other reporters, all looked at this reporter with a strange face, this seems to them, it is simply unimaginable, the fruits of their own labor, the things they have worked so hard to get, and suddenly someone says that you should hand it over, is that brain TAN?

The key is not this, they believe that even if the technology is taken out and promoted, it should be promoted only if the owner himself is voluntary, and the resulting expenses are only eligible for tax if there is a profit after the operation. As for the direct desire to possess, are you sure you are not planning to take advantage of it?

However, although these reporters all looked weird, Li Xi obviously did not mean to delve into this matter, and immediately greeted this group of reporters, "There are still some studies ahead, are you going to take a look?"

When these reporters heard this, they became interested again and said that they wanted to go and see it.

So Li Xi took people to see the laboratories of Professors Mindel and Thornes, that is, to study various materials. These two old men have a certain reputation, at least the reporters from the corn country, there are several people who know them.

I immediately spoke in English, and after talking for a while, I asked what I was studying.

This is Li Xi has already done his homework, and explained at the moment, "This is doing material research for engine technology." ”

"Engine technology, materials research?" the reporters felt incredulous, "engines, don't you use metal?"

Li Xi shook his head and said: "Synthetic materials are for the development direction of materials, and metals, even if they are alloys, have their limits." But plastic doesn't, this material, to some extent, can be the same as human DNA sorting, with countless different sorting methods, and different sorting methods, and different sorting methods, have different properties. Therefore, if we continue to research plastics, sooner or later we will be able to develop high-end plastics that surpass metals and various alloy materials. And only this plastic is the most suitable for our new engine technology. ”

The reporters were a little stunned when they heard it, but they were generally able to understand what Li Xi meant. In the case of polyethylene, it is made up of ethylene molecules that are polymerized one after another and become a material. But this is polyethylene, if in the synthesis process, the first use of ethylene, the second use of propylene, the third use of butene, etc., all the time using a variety of special molecular materials, polymerized together, then can produce countless different combinations.

Of course, this is definitely not limited to alkene, it can be polymerized with alcohols, esters, ethers, etc., and even rubber can be polymerized.

The different ways of using it naturally lead to more and more complex materials. Of course, there is certainly a catalytic reaction involved. For some reason, this reaction is difficult to be able to do.

But if, here we mean if, if we can directly use a more high-end and onlooker molecular polymerization technology, that is, directly synthesize molecules one molecule at a time.

It's like building a pagoda, a little bit of soil is covered up, and now it is a molecule connected by molecules, so that the manufacturing method is relatively more accurate, more clear, and even all kinds of desired materials can be synthesized.

Of course, this can only be done theoretically, and there must be some difficulty in implementing it. But if you can develop something like a tech tree, with a microscopic abstraction microscope, and a microscopic abstract multifunctional manipulator, then it's pretty much easier to do that. And in a very short time, you can directly use the set program to let him act by himself, and connect one molecule after another in order.

Of course, this is something that can only be done in the future, at least so far, Li Xi can't do it. Li Xi can't do it, let alone others.

A reporter asked, "But, Mr. Li, how long do you think it will take to develop the kind of technology you are talking about?"

"At the normal pace of research, I don't know anywhere else, but our Treasure Tree Research Institute, within one or two decades, at most twenty or thirty years, it will be about the same. ”

When the reporters heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and in twenty or thirty years, it would be almost the same?

Another reporter suddenly thought of something else and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Li, isn't your Baoshu Research Institute used to study Baoshu? Why do you still specialize in machinery?"

"That's a good question. Li Xi deliberately praised the reporter, and then said: "However, I think that at least in the research of our Baoshu Research Institute, we have found that all kinds of research, once they reach the micro aspect, are all the same. ”

When the reporters heard this, they stared at Li Xi vigorously.

And Li Xi continued, "The so-called treasure tree, have you ever thought about it, just like a meat bun tree, why can meat buns grow on the tree?"

The reporters were immediately asked, no one really thought about this question, in fact, they just felt that the meat bun tree was very magical. It's amazing that a tree can grow meat buns.

Li Xi smiled and continued, "That's because such a meat bun tree can absorb or produce various materials in the soil, air, or other moisture that can synthesize meat buns, such as protein, such as fat, salt, fiber, etc. ”

"Oh!" the reporters' eyes suddenly lit up, this is a completely new theory, and from this theory, it can even be judged that it is estimated that the research of the entire Baoshu Research Institute follows this law.

Li Xi continued: "Therefore, after the research direction of the meat bun tree is given, if we want to study it, we should consider it in this direction and follow such an idea to conduct manufacturing research." ”

The reporters seemed to understand something all at once this time, some hurriedly recorded, and some listened to Li Xi continue with wide eyes.

"So. Li Xi directly concluded, "The so-called meat bun tree is not so much a tree as a factory, but this factory obtains resources for processing from the surrounding environment." (To be continued.) )
