Chapter 19, Materials Science is the foundation

"My big boss, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

Xinghan National Institute of Materials Science, when Ren Qing saw Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang, he also smiled and asked.

Materials science is the foundation of all disciplines and is a very important discipline, but Qin Yi has rarely gone to the Institute of Materials Science, which also makes Ren Qing very dissatisfied, and feels that Qin Yi does not attach importance to the Institute of Materials Science.

Of course, this is not that Qin Yi does not pay attention to it, quietly on the contrary, Qin Yi has always attached great importance to material research, asking for money for money, asking people to give people, and sparing no effort to give support.

The reason why there is less is that it is the initial material science research, which is actually a process of continuous accumulation, which is to constantly throw money into it, so that scientists continue to experiment and study various materials, such as alloy materials.

This requires a huge amount of money to be poured in, so that scientists can continue to experiment with various ratios, and then research all kinds of new materials.

This requires continuous investment and experimentation, and there is no big technology, nor too profound theories, unlike other research institutes, which require Qin Yi to often take a look, take a look, and give some guidance, so that it can advance by leaps and bounds and develop rapidly.

Therefore, Qin Yi rarely comes to the side of the Institute of Materials Science, but this does not mean that Qin Yi does not pay attention to it.

However, in Ren Qing's opinion, Qin Yi doesn't pay attention to it, and other research institutes and research disciplines are here, Qin Yi will turn around at both ends of three days, take a look, and give some advice or something.

Therefore, the achievements are also constantly emerging, and many newcomers are also constantly emerging, rising, and becoming the emerging science community of Xinghan.

On the other hand, the Institute of Materials Science is like a pool of stagnant water, which seems to be calm, there are no special achievements, and there are no particularly outstanding talents emerging, which makes Ren Qing, the person in charge here, also very dissatisfied.

Especially sometimes when everyone has a meeting, Lu Qingwei, a big-tailed wolf, as long as he has some achievements, it will be blown to the sky, and when each research school is ranked, every time it is the bottom of the Institute of Materials Science, this face can't hang up.

"It's been a long time since I've been here, so I'm here to take a look~"

Qin Yi touched his nose and said, now only Ren Qing still calls himself boss.

"It's been a long time, my big boss, you haven't been here for years, I've forgotten about our Institute of Materials Science."

Ren Qing glanced at Qin Yi, making Qin Yi even more embarrassed, while Liu Peiqiang on the side held back a smile.

Among the earliest scientists of Galaxy Technology Group, there are very few female scientists, and there is only this Ren Qing who is famous, and she has a special status.

Whether it is looking for him, the person in charge, or Qin Yi, the big boss, when they ask for money and people, they are very straightforward, so that the two of them have no choice, even if they exceed part of the budget, they have to be approved.

Of course, under her leadership, the Institute of Materials Science is also thriving, with a variety of new materials emerging in an endless stream, which meets the needs of scientific development on the one hand, and accumulates and cultivates a huge materials science research team on the other hand.

You must know that when you are on the earth, Huaxia's science and technology are okay in all aspects, but it is not good in the field of materials science, which seriously restricts the development of high-tech fields.

For example, aero engines, in fact, everyone knows the technical principles, and there is no esoteric theory at all, but the engines manufactured are far away.

A good engine thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 1:10, that is, a ton of engine can exert 10 tons of thrust, in addition to its own weight, the remaining 9 tons can be given to the aircraft.

The poor engine, its thrust-to-weight ratio is only 1:5, can give the thrust of the aircraft is very good, and the life is also worrying, the advanced engine can fly for thousands of hours is fine, the poor engine will fly for hundreds of hours to have problems.

The key and core of it is none other than the material.

The gap in the field of basic materials, which has led to a huge gap in this cutting-edge field, is known from here the importance of materials science, which can be said to be the foundation of almost all scientific fields, and this foundation naturally determines the height of the superstructure.

For this part, Qin Yi has been willing to spend money since the time of Galaxy Technology Group, and if he does not lay a solid foundation, the development of many aspects will be restricted in the future, which is not what Qin Yi wants.

It is not only necessary to research a variety of materials, but more importantly, to cultivate a large team of materials science research, and to apply many technologies and new materials in materials science to social and economic development, so as to lay a solid foundation.

"Tell me, what do you want to see today?"

Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to visit the Institute of Materials Science, and asked questions as they walked.

"Let's take a look at the state of research on degenerate materials."

Qin Yi thought for a while and said.

General materials, Qin Yi is not in the mood to look at them now, the most important thing is to see the research of degenerate materials, which is the most important.

"I knew you must have come here to ask about the degenerate material."

Ren Qing seemed to have anticipated Qin Yi's purpose for coming, and directly took the two of them to the Degenerate Materials Research Center.

The Degenerate Materials Research Center is the latest research center established by the Institute of Materials Science, but it is the most important research center of the entire Institute of Materials Science, and it is also the focus of research by many scientists.

"It's really hard to degenerate material, and we still haven't made substantial progress at the moment."

Coming to the Degenerate Materials Research Center, Ren Qing also sighed and said.

As a master scientist in the field of materials science, she knows too well how difficult degenerate materials are to achieve, although scientists can now move atoms to form a new atomic layer in the representation of materials, but this atomic layer is only a flat structure, not a degenerate material.

And more importantly, this is just an operation in the laboratory, and it can't really be used on a large scale, because the speed of moving atoms is too slow, and the atoms are too small.

If nothing else, the efficiency of an area the size of a fingernail is too slow to have any real meaning.

What's more, the real degenerate materials still have to be arranged from a three-dimensional perspective to create atoms, which is even more difficult.

The road to degenerate materials is a long way to go.

"What are your current ideas?"

After hearing this, Qin Yi also nodded slightly, and then thought about it and asked.

"At present, we have three main ideas to create degenerate materials, one is to use high temperature and high pressure, we simulate the strong pressure and terrible high temperature inside the planet, and use this method to create degenerate materials."

"This is also a reference to the process of diamond formation, which is formed in the environment of high temperature and high pressure in the interstellar interior, so we think this idea may also be feasible."

"Another idea is to use a strong magnetic field to make degenerate materials, which is inspired by Jupiter's powerful magnetic field that can tear apart stars, and we think that as long as the magnetic field is strong enough, we can use it to form degenerate materials."

"The last idea is that we use gravity technology to make degenerate materials, which are actually similar to neutron stars, which are made from an atomic point of view."

"We all know that the formation of neutron stars is formed by the collapse of massive stars at the end of the massive star, so we thought about using strong gravity to compress the material to form a degenerate material."

"But this is also a failure, the gravity generation device we have made is getting more and more powerful, but it still can't make degenerate materials."

Ren Qing thought about it for a while, and slowly said the three research ideas on the side of the current degenerate materials research center.

The manufacturing of degenerate materials, the first thing that needs to be broken through is the theory, without strong theoretical support, there is no direction of research, scientists are now like headless flies, constantly experimenting with one method after another, but every road does not work.

No matter what you do, there is always no way to make degenerate materials.

"Let's take a closer look at the progress of your three research ideas."

When Qin Yi heard this, he was also immediately interested.

Regarding degenerate materials, there is naturally a very detailed content in the science and technology tower, and there are naturally manufacturing methods for degenerate materials, among which there are many methods, such as space compression, gravity compression, magnetic field compression, etc., many methods are very high.

Among the three methods mentioned by Ren Qing, the method and idea of using magnetic field and gravity to create degenerate materials are actually very good, as long as you find the right way, it is still possible to manufacture degenerate materials.

As for this method of space compression to create degenerate materials, it is not realistic at all, this is a means of advanced cosmic civilization, and it requires extremely powerful research on space technology.

Soon, Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to the laboratories, listened to the research situation and research progress of the scientists in detail, and understood the current situation.

"Why haven't you thought about concentrating and confined this magnetic field or gravity, just like light, the power of a beam of light is naturally limited, but if countless rays of light are gathered and constrained, and concentrated on one point, its power is naturally incomparable."

"Whether it's a magnetic field or gravity, why don't we try to confine it and concentrate it?"

After figuring out the situation and progress of the research, Qin Yi thought about it and put forward his own suggestions.
