Although Mr. Lemo did not know that Iran's top brass was engaged in heated discussions over whether or not to agree to his proposal for a strategic partnership, he also knew that such cooperation would certainly not be decided in a few words. Li Mo, who was anxious in his heart www.biquge.info was planning to find something to do for himself to distract himself.
At this time, Abic, the leader of the expert group of the Camel Mountain base, called and reported good news to him.
Li Mo took the two secretaries of Fox and Fan Qingqing, and under the escort of the two meteor team members, they immediately went to the base in a modified jeep.
In a tight laboratory in the hinterland of Camel Mountain, Li Mo finally knew what the good news was for Abic.
"Boss, look at this, this is that we made a special alloy after studying the sarcophagus fragments brought back by Captain Luo." It was not the leader of the expert group who spoke, but Wu Tao, the chief of the materials section under the expert group, who was one of the first members of the comet group, and his main focus during his study abroad was materials science, especially in the field of metal materials, and he had extremely high attainments. After the return of the comet group, Wu Tao and two other members who mainly focus on polymer materials and composite materials all joined the materials department of the base expert group and became the technical pillar of the organization in materials science research.
The fragments of the sarcophagus brought back by Captain Luo in Wu Tao's mouth were the fragments of the suspected alien sarcophagus when he was excavating the treasure of former Somaliland President Egal, and the meteor commando team led by Luo Xiang risked his life to obtain more than a dozen sarcophagus fragments and a mysterious black metal fragment the size of a palm. Originally, the research on these mysterious fragments was carried out by two materials science experts from Afghanistan, but due to the lack of technical strength, the study of these fragments has not made much progress, and the situation was not improved until the return of the comet group and the addition of Wu Tao and other three.
Li Mo originally thought that even with Wu Tao and other members of the comet group, it would take three or five years to thoroughly study these alien-related materials and make at least some degree of progress. Unexpectedly, less than a year has passed, and the materials department has brought him such a big surprise, using the research of these mysterious fragments to make an alloy.
"Section Chief Wu, tell me quickly, what are the characteristics of the alloy you have researched?" Li Mo asked anxiously. Everyone knows that alloys play a pivotal role in many industries, or high temperature resistance, or corrosion resistance, or low density, high strength, or strong toughness and so on. The use involves aerospace, marine, machinery manufacturing and even electronics and other industries, it can be said that the success of the research of each alloy has brought epoch-making impact to some industries today.
As an arms company, the Stars Organization has a higher demand for alloys. Because all munitions are inseparable from the materials from which they are manufactured. If you want to stand out in today's very competitive arms industry, you must have the most advanced or even leading materials and manufacturing processes in the industry, which is the top priority for an arms company.
"Boss, this alloy is called silicon-uranium alloy internally. Listening to the name, the boss should know that the alloy is a new alloy composed of silicon and uranium. However, the uranium element here is not uranium-235, which can be used to make an atomic bomb, but uranium-238. Boss, you see, this is a molecular diagram of a silicon-uranium alloy. Wu Tao took the black alloy and led Li Mo and the others to a working computer, pointing to the enlarged atomic structure diagram in the display.
Although Li Mo had developed all his spiritual power and his intelligence had soared to the point where ordinary people could only look up, he was still dizzy to see the complex molecular structure diagram displayed on the display screen. He hadn't seen some molecular structure diagrams before, but those diagrams looked very simple, mostly composed of a few atoms. But in front of the molecular structure diagram, Li Mo preliminarily estimated that there were at least hundreds or even more atoms, and Li Mo was very suspicious of how so many atoms could form a stable molecular structure. And what is the mass of a molecule made up of so many atoms?
"Forget it, Section Chief Wu, I feel a headache when I look at it, you still want to introduce it to me, what are the special surnames of this silicon-uranium alloy? What can be used. After a long time, Li Mocai shook his head and said. These professional things are still handed over to professional people to do, and he, as the big boss of the organization, only needs to know the use of this alloy and what benefits it can bring to the organization.
Wu Tao didn't plan to give Li Mo a chemistry class, just let Li Mo have a general understanding.
"Okay boss, speaking of the discovery of silicon-uranium alloy, it is still an accident." When Wu Tao said this, he didn't look embarrassed at all. Every invention or discovery is full of surprises. Of course, this accident is only to enlighten people, and how to analyze this accident thoroughly and make it completely belong to one's own depends on one's ability. Like Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation, it was just an accident that the apple fell from a tree and Newton saw it, but if Newton had not persisted in his subsequent research, he would not have discovered the law of gravitation from this accident.
"It all started three months ago, when we put down our research on ferrous metals and went all out to tackle them. Because according to the information brought back by Captain Luo, we believe that this fragment has a certain intelligence. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to have the DNA surname of a certain blood or a person in the fantasy. If we can study the sarcophagus fragments thoroughly, there are too many uses. If this kind of special surname is used to make a friend or foe identification system, it will be more powerful than the current international mainstream identification system based on software systems, and it will be more difficult for the enemy to find a way to crack it. The most important thing is that if we can master this kind of surname that absorbs a specific substance, we can create the most advanced invisible material in the world......" Wu Tao said loudly with a little excitement and even waved his hands. As a scientific researcher, especially a young person like them who has a lot of knowledge at a young age, he hopes to research epoch-making inventions and achieve achievements that are difficult for the world to look up to.
Li Mo, Abic and others were infected by Wu Tao's words, and their expressions of emotion were fully displayed.
"It's just a pity that so far we only know that these fragments are a special ceramic based on silica and an amorphous living charcoal, which has been made by some process that we don't know. Although we have now figured out the molecular structure of this ceramic, because there is no manufacturing process and the principle of this ceramic, those ideas are just a luxury for now. Wu Tao suddenly sighed with regret on his face.
"Hehe, don't be discouraged, how long have you been studying this time? We have time to study them, and I believe that with everyone's efforts, these problems will be successfully tackled. Although Li Mo also had some regrets, especially Wu Tao painted him a beautiful picture, he told him that this was just a blueprint, and there was still a distance from specific success. However, he was the big boss of the organization, and he couldn't let everyone have the idea of decadence or even retreat, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort him.
"You might as well tell me about the special surname of the alloy." Li Mo opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the research room, and said with a relaxed smile.
Wu Tao is also a person who can afford to let go, and the young man is full of passion, and he will not be stumped by some difficulties at all, so he quickly put the entanglement in his heart behind him, and introduced silicon-uranium alloy to Li Mo in detail.
"The discovery of the silicon-uranium alloy was an accident, and when we were stuck in a rut in our research on sarcophagus fragments, we thought of the Y substance that Laboratory Nine was working on." When Wu Tao said this, he looked at the two women who were following Li Mo, but he knew that Y matter could be said to be the biggest secret of the organization at present, and it was higher than the important surname of nuclear weapons. The atomic bomb is gone, and as long as the substance is in hand, it can still be made. But once the substance leaks out, it can definitely cause chaos in the world.
"Since the Y substance and sarcophagus fragments are both things that may be related to aliens, we speculate whether they have some connection. A small amount of substance y was extracted from Laboratory Nine. I wanted to see if there was a relationship between the two, at the beginning, we used many methods, but there was no way to make the reaction between the two, whether it was physical or chemical. Just when we were on the verge of giving up. Suddenly, on the work surface where the sarcophagus fragments were placed, some black powder was found. You should know that this laboratory is specially built, and the dust removal work will be done every once in a while. As the most important workbench, not to mention the situation of absolute dust, it is absolutely impossible to appear a substance of black powder. This accident intrigued us, and we studied the black powder to confirm that it was an alloy powder that we had never found before. In particular, when the molecular structure of this powder was first studied, everyone did not believe it, and even thought that the equipment was wrong, but later we used the same equipment in other laboratories to study, and finally confirmed that this is a special alloy that is impossible to make with modern technology. Its molecular structure is very complex, and the number of atoms it is composed of is too high, but the stability is unusually high. In laboratory tests, we used cryogenic technology and high temperature to stabilize it, and found that the molecular structure of this alloy does not change at a low temperature of minus 182 degrees Celsius and a high temperature of 1600 degrees Celsius. These two degrees of temperature are already the limits of what our laboratory can currently achieve. Wu Tao introduced the first special surname of this alloy with a ruddy face.
"Hiss......" Li Mo and the others gasped when they heard this. looked at the black alloy in Wu Tao's hand, and his eyes lit up. Regardless of whether there are other special surnames for this alloy, this special surname alone determines the huge value of silicon-uranium alloys.
In today's world, there is an alloy called superalloy, which is defined as an alloy that can withstand a certain amount of stress and oxidation and corrosion resistance under the condition of 600-1200 degrees. Moreover, these superalloys are alloys based on iron, nickel, and cobalt, plus other metals and non-metals. Now the alloy in Wu Tao's hand is a silicon-uranium alloy, which is an epoch-making discovery. Moreover, those superalloys can only withstand a certain amount of stress under the condition of 600-1200 degrees, which is the reason that only a few countries in the world have mastered the technology of superalloys. They are mainly used in space vehicles, rocket engines and nuclear reactors. The silicon-uranium alloy is an alloy that does not change at a high temperature of 1600 degrees. Don't look at 1600 degrees is only 400 degrees higher than 1200 degrees, but the gap is too big, if the current superalloy is regarded as the first generation, the silicon-uranium alloy in Wu Tao's hands is at least the third or even the fourth generation, and the technology is decades ahead.
