Chapter 305: Accident
"Li Suo, the laboratory is ready."
"Start preparing for the experiment right away." Li Xiang hurriedly commanded.
Inside a laboratory.
Several experimental robots are being operated by researchers, completing one job after another.
The main reason for using robots instead of researchers to operate directly is that this experiment is very dangerous.
Whether it's metallic oxygen or metallic nitrogen, once out of control, that power can blow up the entire laboratory.
Just in case, not only the researchers use robots to operate remotely, but even the laboratory has a very high level of protection, which can withstand the explosion of at least 1 ton of drug T without affecting the outside of the laboratory.
Without these protections, Li thought they might have been blown to slag.
"Ready to start experimenting."
"Start the pressure booster pump."
"Inject the corrosive."
In the laboratory where there was no human figure, under the operation of the computer, the experimental equipment began to start.
10 grams of submetallic oxygen, which is slowly injected with some corrosive agent under high pressure.
However, these corrosive agents do not move, as if they do not react with the curing agent in the metallic oxygen.
"What's going on?"
"There is no reaction, is it the effect of the high-pressure state?"
The researchers began to discuss it.
"Pause the experiment." Lee wondered if it could be the effect of the high-pressure state that caused the corrosive agent and hardener to not react.
However, he did not lose heart, scientific research work is like this, and everything cannot be smooth.
"Li Suo, is it a replacement of an erosion agent?"
Li Xiang nodded.
Of course, they couldn't have just one type of corrosive, and soon the failed submetallic oxygen and corrosive agent were cleaned up and a new 10 gram of submetallic oxygen was put into the equipment.
A new corrosive agent was replaced, and once again it was slowly injected into the metallic oxygen under high pressure.
However, this time, as the result of the last time, the corrosive agent and the curing agent are still inseparable.
"Replace it with an erosion agent." Li Xiang calmly commanded.
The experiments in the laboratory are still carried out in an orderly manner, but after replacing six kinds of corrosive agents, there is still no response.
"Stop the testing of submetallic oxygen and replace it with submetallic nitrogen." Li Xiang temporarily gave up on metallic oxygen and experimented with metallic nitrogen.
"Okay."
Although the experiments on submetallic oxygen were not satisfactory, the researchers did not give up, and failure was only the vast majority of their daily routine, and it was thankful that 10,000 experiments could succeed once.
Once again, the equipment in the lab was cleaned and 10 grams of metallized nitrogen was placed into the equipment.
A special corrosive agent is injected slowly.
"Is there a reaction?"
"No, the state of the metallic nitrogen at high pressure is too stable for the erosion agent to break the molecular bonds." The researcher in charge of monitoring shook his head helplessly.
"Replace an erosive agent." Li Xiang commanded again.
"Okay."
Tedious repetitive movements, cleaning up the equipment, putting in new submetallic nitrogen, and then injecting a new erosive.
This time, though, the injection is a little different.
[Alert!] The equipment has entered an overpressure state! ]
[Alert!] The equipment has entered an overpressure state! ]
……
Before Li Xiang could react.
Rumble! Cracking sound......
The entire equipment exploded, and countless pieces of wreckage flew everywhere, causing the entire laboratory to crackle.
"Looks like we're going to be ranted by the Governing Council again." A researcher said with a wry smile.
Of course, the management committee of the research institute had to roar, such a set of equipment, which added up to tens of millions of Chinese yuan, was blown to pieces at once.
This is not the first time that it has exploded, and now Li thinks that they have already reimbursed three sets of similar equipment before, and it is very painful to see the people of the management committee! A large pile of red banknotes will blow up without saying a word, who doesn't feel distressed.
"Clean up the lab, I'll make a report." Li Xiang felt uncomfortable at the thought of facing the complaining gaze of the institute's management committee.
But this thing was fried by him, and he can't escape this pot.
The researchers shrugged their shoulders and unscrewed the door to the lab where the explosion had just occurred, which was so thick that it resembled the hatch of a submarine.
After opening the door, the researcher looked at the devastated laboratory and began to clean it up little by little.
They have a whole set of procedures for dealing with such experimental accidents.
Before they entered, they had already tested the air in the laboratory, after all, no one knew what the product of the explosion was, which might produce toxic gases and the like, and they would not enter it at will without confirming the safety of the air.
Then little by little, they sorted out the things in the entire laboratory.
After cleaning up the reactor of the equipment, looking at the reactor that was blown into a flowering state, all the researchers were apprehensive, this reactor can withstand very huge pressure, but they didn't expect that it still can't resist the explosion.
If there were researchers in the laboratory at that time, it would definitely be more than lucky.
Researcher Yang Gang took the tweezers, sandwiched the contents of the reactor, and then put each item into a special small box, and another researcher marked the location and time of these small boxes containing things.
Suddenly, Yang Gang found some black powder at the bottom of the reactor, and he was no stranger to the by-products of these experiments.
Regardless of whether the experiment succeeds or fails, there is a greater or lesser chance that some unexpected by-products will be produced in the reactor.
These by-products are also very important things, after all, a lot of success is found in these accidents.
He put the tweezers back in the trolley, took out a small hair broom and a small bucket, and carefully swept the black powder into the bucket.
Then put the black powder into a small box.
……
Management Board of the Institute.
"My Uncle Li! Just spare us! This is the fourth large-scale experimental accident since the establishment of your Institute of Superconductors at Room Temperature. Guan Haitong, a member of the management committee, roared loudly.
"It was an accident!" Li Xiang replied with insufficient confidence.
"Accidents? Which accident was not an accident in your experiment?" Guan Haitong said speechlessly.
"Haha......" Li Xiang laughed awkwardly.
"Please blow up a few times, these devices are all red bills! Do you know that your room temperature superconductor's budget for this year has been blown up by you......" Guan Haitong continued to growl.
Li Xiang helplessly endured Guan Haitong's gushing roar.
In the end, under his soft grinding and hard bubble, the management committee of the institute still approved a new set of experimental equipment for the Institute of Superconductors at room temperature.
"This is the last time this year, if you blow it up again, go to the chairman for approval!" Guan Haitong gritted his teeth and reminded.
"Hehe, I'll try not to blow up, bye!" After Li Xiang finished speaking, he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet.
Looking at Li Xiang, who was dead, Guan Haitong slapped his forehead and couldn't help complaining.
It's too difficult for me, these crazy people blow up equipment or laboratories twice in three days, and it seems that this year's research budget is going to be overrun.
Looking at the scrap reports, he suddenly grew up one by one, for these guys who really don't know the price of firewood and rice, Guan Haitong is no longer able to complain, you just do it desperately!
He hurriedly sent these scrap reports and new equipment application reports to the chairman of the board of directors, giving him a headache!
