Materials science, especially polymer materials or composite materials, has always been a basic discipline, and every year a large number of laboratories and a large amount of money are invested in this field, and graphene is just a special example, among which there are other parts.

For example, refractory materials, waterproof materials, and materials with high melting points that do not oxidize, there are people studying in every field.

When a material emerges, it often transforms an entire field.

Why is a 22nm lithography machine so expensive?

It is because it is able to make cutting-edge chips that other lithography machines can't make, that is, semiconductor silicon, and in the final analysis, it is a matter of precision processing of materials.

Materials science has always been the top priority of the national key scientific and technological research and the national climbing plan, so it has always attracted great attention.

Although it was all confidential information, after hearing that Gu Dong had begun to develop new materials, several academicians and professors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences gathered to discuss the feasibility.

Silicon and iron are used to make the main components, which also involve rhenium and gallium, and it is said that sodium also needs to be added, which is obviously a polymer composite material.

I don't know what Gu Dong will do, what are the more than 10,000 kinds of matching schemes? But there is no doubt that from the perspective of material science, this will not work at all.

There are elements that simply cannot be fused.

"I also think that's nonsense. He's just young enough to squander his time and money!" said a white-haired professor: "Materials research, that's not how it works!"

"It's really whimsical! I'm interested in the equipment in the lab. Another professor frowned and said, "Those instruments, I don't know if he made them himself, or where he bought them, it's very unusual." ”

"Lao Zhao, are you envious of other people's manipulators, right?" Gong Haoming said with a smile.

The professor named Lao Zhao shook his head: "The manipulator is just one of them, there are some instruments that I have never seen before, and it is estimated that they are some kind of precision instruments." As he spoke, he looked up at Gong Haoming again: "Professor Gong, you'd better contact the people over there and protect that laboratory, the things in it are priceless." ”

Gong Haoming glanced at him, nodded, and sighed and said, "That laboratory is indeed not ordinary!"

"It's just that this experiment doesn't work, it's too whimsical! If it's possible, let him know if it's canceled." Don't risk your life to research!"

Gong Haoming thought about it, sighed and said, "Okay!"

In fact, his own thoughts in his heart are similar, although Gu Dong has done a lot of things, but material science is still too difficult.

After hearing that there was a fire and explosion in the laboratory, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, it was okay if the experiment was unsuccessful, as long as the people were okay.

——

Gu Dong's experiment was not very smooth from the beginning, the failure of material fusion was just a small problem, and the problems encountered later were even more complicated.

As the number of materials added gradually increased, some conflicting materials immediately reacted violently, and the fire did not end, and then there was an even more serious explosion, and half of the manipulators in the laboratory were destroyed.

Fortunately, Gu Qi's alarm came in time, Gu Dong considered the danger and let the manipulator operate it himself, otherwise, he might be injured himself.

And that's just the beginning, and there are more problems to come.

Not only did it explode, but a highly corrosive material appeared, corroding a large hole in the floor.

Manipulators and manufacturing instruments are also corroded by potholes, and this corrosive material is about three times more corrosive than strong sulfuric acid.

Unfortunately, this material is very expensive to build, otherwise it can be used instead of strong acids.

There are more than 10,000 test schemes, most of which are given by sixteen, and a small part is directly simulated by Gu Dong and asked Gu Qi.

Sixteen didn't have that much information, so he had to explore it himself.

For each solution, the materials that need to be added are different, except for silicon and iron, which are necessary.

Sixteen, it's not a panacea, she's just a super AI.

Two thousand three hundred and sixty-three, all failed, although Gu Qi had recorded the reasons for the failure, but it was still very far from success, looking at the messy laboratory again, Gu Dong rubbed his pale face, looking tired.

"Second Lieutenant Gu, are you okay?" Just now, there was another small explosion in the laboratory, and although Gu Dong had dodged it, his head was still hit by something and was bleeding.

"It's out of the way!" Gu Dong took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Help me clean up inside, and then move a few manipulators over again, I need to start over!"

"Second Lieutenant Gu, why don't you rest for a while. Tao Li said, "Your head needs to be bandaged as soon as possible!"

Gu Dong glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I'm out of the way, I'll ask Yuanyuan to help me clean it up later." Captain Tao, hurry up, don't waste time!"

Seeing him say this, Tao Li couldn't help sighing in his heart, didn't say much, waved his hand, and let the team members behind him go in to clean up the laboratory.

So far, there have been 35 explosions and 25 fires in the lab, which are not very serious, but they are still worrying.

They also made fire and explosion warnings, but when the materials started to fuse, many things were unpredictable.

For example, just now, a manipulator emitted a cloud of black smoke due to overheating.

Several people cooperated with the cleaning robot to clean the laboratory, and then walked out with the waste, Gu Dong asked a few robots to start installing the manipulator again.

I don't know what the problems will be, but the experiment still needs to continue, and the more than 2,000 failures may have just begun.

Gu Dong knew very well how difficult this thing was.

The materials continued to be taken out, and then continued to be done, as the number of failures in Gu Dong's experiments gradually increased, there seemed to be more voices outside talking.

Gong Haoming and Yang Baili both looked for him a few times, wondering what kind of problem he had encountered just now.

Gu Dechang and Tang Ming would also come over occasionally, and they sometimes looked at the messy laboratory, and their faces showed a hint of worry.

"It's hard, it's very hard. If it's just a normal level of difficulty, maybe it can be done very easily. But in this case, Gu Qi couldn't calculate the result at all, so I could only go into battle in person. When chatting with them, Gu Dong sighed and said, "There are only more than 2,000 plans now, and it is estimated that there are still a lot of experiments to do." ”

"This is just the first step, after doing this, we still need to do ion particle experiments?" Tang Ming asked with a frown.

Gu Dong nodded: "Yes, this is indeed only the first step, and it is also the most basic step, if this step cannot be made, then it will not be possible to carry out it at all, if you need to do particle experiments, you may also need to do a particle collider." I've been going to have to throw some money out lately. ”
