Chapter 79, The Perfect Material
What material science and technology needs is the investment of a large number of resources and a large amount of experimental data, although the investment of Huaxia in recent years is still possible, but after all, it is far from the advanced countries in the world.
Not to mention anything else, some countries in Western Europe have a very famous story in terms of materials, in the last century, West Germany put a large number of smelted steel into the sea, and then took it out and used it after being stationary for half a century, and placed it in the sea for a long time, although the surface has been quite serious because of the corrosion of seawater, but the stress inside the steel has been eliminated cleanly, and all such steel has been used in the most sophisticated machine tools, military industry, aerospace, and aviation fields.
The spirit of preventing materials from being in the sea for 50 years just to relieve stress is far from being understood by the impatience we have now.
Of course, all this is nothing to Li Fu at all, there are countless material formulas, manufacturing methods, etc. in the seeds of super civilization, and all kinds of materials can be easily obtained by Li Fu, which is why Li Fu will prepare for the construction of Fuyun Material Technology Company in the second step of the plan.
Material technology is the foundation, for others may need to spend countless resources to slowly explore, slowly experiment to be able to continue to explore the ideal materials they need, but for Li Fu, there is no need at all, any material needed can be directly found from the seeds of civilization to find a way to smelt the material.
Of course, these are all low-level materials in the development of primary civilizations, and if they are used in middle-to-high-level cosmic civilizations, such as atomic materials, degenerate materials, quark materials, etc., it is not so simple.
"Lao Liu, don't worry, we will slowly find a way to make materials, there are always more ways than problems, if we can combine the characteristics of ceramic materials and steel alloy materials, we can create materials that are enough to withstand the high temperature of the core of the plasma engine."
Li Fu smiled and continued to comfort, materials are really difficult Li Fu, as soon as he searched among the seeds of civilization, Li Fu found countless combinations of materials that can meet the current needs, such as tantalum carbide hafnium alloy, ceramic alloy, tungsten carbide alloy, etc., there are many various elements in the universe, and the combination between them can form an infinite number, and the corresponding endless materials can be born.
"Ceramic materials can only withstand high temperatures of about 3000 degrees at most, and although ceramic materials are chemically stable at high temperatures and have high hardness, their ductility is too poor, but their tensile strength is low, and their plasticity and toughness are very poor."
Liu Shiying shook his head, although he is an expert in aviation power, he is also very familiar with all kinds of materials, and when he heard Li Fu talk about ceramic materials, he shook his head and said.
"I'm talking about ceramic alloy materials formed by the combination of ceramic materials and alloy materials, not pure ceramic materials."
Li Fu smiled mysteriously, the new concept of ceramic alloy materials had never been seen before, and it was the first time Li Fu proposed it.
"Ceramic alloy materials? I don't know much about materials, so I asked for instructions from above, and sent some material experts to help, the plasma engines have been manufactured, and a small material problem should not be asked to give up. ”
Hearing Li Fu's words, Liu Shiying raised his eyebrows, and then the whole person cheered up again, he himself is not a person who gives up easily, and now he is just frustrated when he encounters difficulties, but it is absolutely impossible to say that he will let him go.
"Well, our current work can be divided into two departments, one is to study atomic batteries, and strive to develop atomic batteries that can store electricity on a large scale as soon as possible, and the other is to work together with material research experts to jointly develop new materials that meet the needs."
"These two civilizations are the most direct problems in front of us, and they are also the core and key to whether our plasma engines can be really useful.
Li Fu nodded, scientific research originally requires a very resolute character, to endure loneliness and prosperity, in order to finally achieve something on the road of science and technology.
Soon, because the country attaches great importance to the plasma engine project, it is basically what to give, after all, this is the core of the new fighter in the future, and it involves whether China can surpass the advanced countries of the West in one fell swoop and achieve overtaking in the corner.
The cost of a plasma engine is more than one billion casually, and the country doesn't even blink an eye, saying that it is ruined and ruined, and there is a quick reply to the request of the project team to transfer top scientists in the field of materials.
Yin Ya, a 30-year-old beautiful scientist, Wu Chengying, is also a very young and only in his 30s of top materials scientists, and the two were soon dispatched to the project team with a large team to jointly research new materials that can meet the needs of plasma engines.
Although Li Fu wanted to tell the manufacturing method of new materials at once, the ideal told Li Fu that he must not do that, and Li Fu still showed that he was a peerless genius in terms of materials.
From the beginning, he only knew a little about material science and technology, and then quickly relied on his strong learning ability, analysis ability, and comprehension ability to impress the people in this materials research group, and then slowly Li Fu guided the direction of everyone's research to the direction that he had already done.
"High temperature resistance 3500 degrees!"
"High temperature resistance 4000 degrees!"
"High temperature resistance 4500 degrees!"
With the progress of the project, the field of materials science has made leaps and bounds like the research work of plasma engines, and the new materials manufactured have been continuously improved to withstand high temperatures.
"It's incredible, I didn't think of this aspect before, the combination of ceramic materials and alloy materials, all the materials are made into the finest powder, and then used special glue to bond and shape, we will soon be able to make materials that can withstand 5000 degrees of high temperatures!"
Yin Ya has a pair of eyes, although she is 30 years old, she looks no different from a college student who has just left campus, and her tall and slender legs are very eye-catching.
Originally, the proportion of women in scientific research is very low, and the probability of beauty is even lower, but this Yin Ya, wisdom and beauty coexist, and he is also a genius-like figure, only 30 years old is already a top expert in the field of material science and technology in China.
At this time, she looked at the materials in the experiment, her whole eyes flashed, she has gained countless things from studying materials science and technology during this time, and she is even more impressed with Li Fu, from the very beginning, she simply thought that Li Fu, a person who studies biology and aviation power, could also make a difference in the field of materials.
"Haha, it doesn't take long for us, our latest materials have arrived, and I estimate that the new materials we have made this time will be enough to meet the demand."
Wu Chengying, who is also an expert in the field of materials science, said with a smile at this time, only to see the staff in the team install a brand new material on the test bench at this time.
"It is very light, and the density is lower than that of aluminum alloy, only 2.12, which means that if it is used to make aviation aircraft, it can greatly reduce the weight of the aircraft, and it has an unparalleled effect on improving the integrity."
When Wu Chengying saw the first piece of data, he couldn't help but say it.
"Test conductivity...... Almost complete insulation, in this respect several people continue the insulation of ceramic materials to electricity, incredible, you must know that this material has a variety of metal elements added to it. ”
"Test the hardness!"
"Test tensile strength, ductility!"
"Test the elastic strength!"
"Test shock test."
“……”
The test data of one item soon appeared on the huge display of the computer, and everyone couldn't help but shout in their hearts, perfect material, the data of this item seems to be specially born for this purpose, and it perfectly meets the requirements of the plasma engine for materials.
"Perform a high-temperature test!"
When hearing this sound, everyone couldn't help but stop breathing, to the most critical link, the material of the core components of the plasma engine must withstand the temperature of more than 5000 degrees, only can be able to continue at such a high temperature, long-term stable work can truly meet the requirements of the plasma engine.
In the laboratory, a new type of ceramic alloy material is placed in the middle, a blazing white flame begins to grill it, in order to obtain more than the temperature, this flame is not an ordinary flame, ordinary means can not produce a high temperature of 5000 degrees at all, only special methods and means can create a flame of 5000 degrees, you must know that the surface temperature of the sun is 5500 degrees.
The blazing white flame is constantly grilling the gray-white ceramic alloy material, if it is an ordinary steel material, it will soon turn red, white, and then melt into juice, under such high temperatures, the molecules will be abnormally active, and it is easy to separate.
However, this gray-white ceramic alloy material turned out to be completely insulated, without any change, calcined for more than an hour, and the temperature even exceeded 5000 degrees at one point, and even the temperature in the laboratory air was high enough to melt other things around, and this new ceramic alloy material still did not change at all.
"Haha, high temperature resistance 5000 degrees!"
Wu Chengying's whole person almost jumped up with excitement, where was the whole person shouting loudly, the whole project team couldn't help but cheer, Yin Ya looked at Li Fu with a smile on her face, and found that Li Fu always maintained a faint smile, as if all this had already been done.
