Chapter 260 Fabrication of nanomaterials
The appearance of Dr. Zola and Hank made Rose feel the danger for the first time.
Those two monsters haven't developed yet, but they can still pose a threat to themselves.
Ross had no other way but to improve his strength.
In the Uta company, thousands of engineers in the nano factory were busy overnight, installing various machines and equipment according to the drawings provided by Ross.
In the artificial intelligence building, 3,000 robots have all been intelligentized, and these robots are enough to help Ross produce nanomaterials.
In the biology building, Tan Li led a group of biologists, no longer caring about any moral constraints, no longer caring about the opposition of the world, breaking the taboo, and various genetic experiments have begun.
Monkeys, orangutans, snakes, mice, and more than 100 kinds of creatures were brought in by biologists for biological experiments, and various genetic potions were injected into the bodies of these animals.
In order to deal with the unknown enemy, the only way to use genetic technology is to develop the potential of human beings.
In the weapons factory, Ross provided his own plan for designing the 'Jerek missile' to weapons experts and ammunition experts, so that they could help him build a system for this weapon, as long as the system was manufactured first, and after the development of nanotechnology, he could directly manufacture the 'Jerek missile'.
In the special steel factory, Ross ordered all production lines to be suspended, and all the magnetic units were used to make 25 times more special steel, and all of these special steels were used for defense.
At the arc reactor plant, Ross began to order experts to help him build a small arc reactor.
As long as the reactor is made. In the future, other parts can be miniaturized using nanotechnology. Ross is working on Iron Man's armor.
Uta Inc. Ross couldn't sleep, except for himself. Yuta company is all ordinary people, if one day he is gone, someone comes to Yuta company to sabotage, the consequences are very serious.
In order to cope with a possible crisis, Ross placed a huge order with the country's laser laboratory, asking for the purchase of several high-power lasers, which can be modified to become high-power laser weapons, and then equipped with arc reactors. With the power of laser weapons, you can kill any living thing.
In order to make the Uta company impregnable, Ross doesn't care about anything, and plans to use chemicals to increase the defense of poison gas and chemical agents for the various technical centers of the Uta company, once an enemy enters the Uta company and wants to steal any technology, he can be killed by poison gas and chemicals if he is not careful.
In order to increase the security of the Uta, Ross proposed a new requirement for the Artificial Intelligence Building. Each door of Yuta Company must add various fingerprints, pupil recognition technology, and voice-activated recognition technology, without the permission of Yuta Company. No one is allowed to enter the company.
Within 10 kilometers of Yuta, 10,000 cameras must be added, and not an inch of land can be spared.
Light source conversion factory. Must help Ross build 20 large light source tracers.
These 20 large scanners are equipped with infrared thermal energy scanning. Bio-radio wave detection function, after connecting with three supercomputers. It can scan any creature with a diameter of 1 mm within 10 kilometers of the surrounding area, and as long as it appears in the vicinity of the Uta company, even mosquitoes cannot escape the scan.
Even if an ant wants to get close to the Uta, it will be monitored.
That night, Rose slept only five hours, and he, who never smoked, smoked a few cigarettes to kill his sorrows.
In the early morning, the bright sun lit up the sky, and Rose got up early and ran to the nanofactory.
Ross drilled into the 20,000-square-meter nano-factory, which had a huge area of 20,000 square meters, and all the buildings were rough except for the ground floor, and Ross drilled into the ground floor to check the installation of the production line.
Thousands of engineers and mechanics have been busy all night, but the efficiency is quite high, one production line has been installed, several other chemical pools have been built, and engineers and mechanics are still installing other production lines.
"You can start working on some carbon nanotubes first."
A slight smile appeared on Rose's lips as he ran towards the Artificial Intelligence Building.
3,000 robots weighing 300 kilograms, after Ross gave the order, lined up and followed Rose to the nanofactory like soldiers.
The robots walked at the same pace, and with each foot, there was a clang, clang, clang, clang, sound, and the ground shook wherever they passed. provoked many employees to quickly avoid it, and the scene was too spectacular.
Arriving at the nanofactory with a large team of robots, Ross began to give orders to the robots to start manufacturing the most important 'carbon nanotubes' of nanomaterials in three ways.
The first method of producing carbon nanotubes was the 'arc discharge method', which is the most common method of producing carbon nanotubes.
Its production process: the graphite electrode is placed in a reaction vessel filled with helium or argon, an arc is excited between the two poles, a high temperature of about 4000 degrees is generated, the graphite is evaporated, and the products produced are fullerene (C60), amorphous carbon, single-walled or multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
By controlling the hydrogen content in the catalyst and container, the yield of carbon nanotubes can be regulated.
This technology for manufacturing carbon nanotubes is relatively simple, but the generated carbon nanotubes are mixed with C60 and other products, and it is difficult to obtain carbon nanotubes with high purity, and all the multi-walled carbon nanotubes are obtained, and the single-walled carbon nanotubes are most needed in research.
100 robots began to work according to Ross's instructions, and after they energized the graphite electrodes with the helium and argon furnaces, sparks burst wildly. Graphite is evaporated directly, leaving behind a tiny layer of white substance.
These white substances are a mixture of fullerenes, amorphous carbon, multilayer and monolayer carbon nanotubes.
Rose picked up a little of the mixture for testing. The results showed that the carbon nanotube content reached only 5%, and the other 95% was all fullerene and other mixtures. Of these 5% carbon nanotubes, 95% are multi-walled carbon nanotubes and 5% are single-walled carbon nanotubes.
Human research believes that the capacitance and energy density of single-walled carbon nanotubes are higher than those of multi-walled carbon nanotubes.
Multi-walled carbon nanotubes are prone to invagination after reaching a diameter of 6 nanometers, while single-walled nanotubes can reach between a few hundred nanometers and tens of thousands of nanometers. The performance of a single wall is more valuable than that of multiple walls.
In order to solve the separation method of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes, Ross planned to use "grinding and dispersion" and "ultrasonic dispersion", because the other production lines had not yet been assembled, Ross could only order the robot to produce mass production of carbon nanotubes and mixtures of these raw materials.
When other production lines are done, the single-walled nanomaterials produced by the robot have better performance, and the purity is more than 5 times higher than that of ordinary nanomaterials.
The performance of the manufactured nanomaterials is amazing, not only the purity is improved, but even the aspect ratio has reached 100:1, which is 10 times the length and diameter of ordinary carbon nanotubes.
The comprehensive performance of this carbon nanotube has exceeded the world's most advanced level by 20 times.
The consumption of graphite in the production of carbon nanotubes is too large, and the single-walled carbon nanotubes that can be made out of one ton of this material are only about 1 kilogram.
Yuta Company is not short of money, no matter how expensive this material is, it has to be engaged.
Although the production efficiency of the robot is a bit low, 100 robots, if they work together, can still produce a lot of carbon nanotubes a day, as for the harmful gases produced by the evaporation of graphite, it can be completely ignored for the robot.
For this advanced material, Ross directs the machine to keep busy. (To be continued.) )
