NO: 22 Magical Metallic Hydrogen
Beijing, Tsinghua University School of Materials Science and Technology was established on April 26, 2013. The newly established School of Materials Science is composed of the Department of Raw Materials Science and Engineering and the former Department of Mechanical Engineering, covering the first-level disciplines of materials science and engineering, and the three second-level disciplines of materials science, materials physics and chemistry, and materials processing. It has some of the best research facilities in the country. and the most awesome research team, among which there are many returnee experts. Moreover, there is the only high-precision scanning tunneling microscope in the country.
Today, a materials analysis study is being carried out here. The cause of the incident goes back more than a month. Double intern Li Xiao. found the waste materials that Lin Feng didn't take away. I don't see a reason in the double research room. Go to Sichuan University to find your own mentor. But Sichuan University does not have a scanning tunneling microscope.
Scanning tunneling microscope, also known as "scanning tunneling microscope" or "tunneling scanning microscope", is an instrument that uses the tunneling effect in quantum theory to detect the surface structure of matter. It was invented in 1981 by G. Binnig and H. Rohrer at IBM's Zurich laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, and the two inventors shared the 1986 Nobel Prize in Physics with Ernst Ruska.
The working principle of a scanning tunneling microscope is surprisingly simple. Like a stylus swept over a record, a probe slowly passes through the material to be analyzed (the tip of the needle is extremely sharp and consists of only one atom). A small charge is placed on the probe, and a current flows out of the probe through the entire material to the underlying surface. As the probe passes through a single atom, the amount of current flowing through the probe varies, and these changes are recorded. The current rises and falls as it flows through an atom, so that its outline can be probed in great detail. After many flows, by plotting the fluctuations in the amount of current, one can obtain a beautiful picture of the individual atoms that make up a grid structure (Note: Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) can etch and modify various surfaces at the nanoscale to achieve nanofabrication, which is an important area of its application. There are two main types of surface processing methods with STM: the first is to write points, lines, or prescribed graphic symbols directly on the surface of metals, semiconductors, or insulators. The specific method is usually to add a certain voltage pulse to the needle tip under the constant current mode of STM, or suddenly shorten the distance between the needle tip and the sample, so that the surface of the sample under the needle tip forms pits, mounds and other structural changes.
The second method is to cause a chemical reaction through the electron beam of the STM to deposit the metallic material in the surface micro-area under the needle tip. Do you see it: this kind of equipment can also be used to make chips. And it's simpler than a lithography machine. Faster. It can be carved at the atomic level, it can move atoms, France also has this kind of rally, yes, the moving is an atomic rally, which is held once a year, and China does not participate. Because we simply don't have equipment of this level. So don't think that the particle teleporter I was talking about is so mysterious. )
But such devices are also available in China. Even in Beijing, there are only a few universities and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Tsinghua is only one. It lasted half a month. The results are finally in. The photo is a little blurry, but the results are almost confirmable. This material is made of carbon nanotubes to encapsulate hydrogen atoms. With the current technology of the earth, it can be done. It's the kind of atomic rally STM mentioned above, which is also a scanning tunneling microscope, but it's more advanced. But what can you do with adding dozens of hydrogen atoms in a day?
When they determined that this material was metallic hydrogen, the entire Institute of Materials was boiling. Since the concept of metallic hydrogen was proposed in 1936, the scientific community has worked tirelessly for many years, but nothing has come of it. China even built a press with a million atmospheres for this. However, this is of no avail. But now there is a piece of finished metallic hydrogen material. Even the pre-forging blank is available. Although I know that it is impossible to realize this production process for the time being, but I know the principle and the production process, although I don't know how to put the hydrogen atom into the carbon nanotube and bind it, but it will always be solved in the future.
The application of metallic hydrogen superconducting materials in the military field will be very wide, such as superconducting electromagnetic propulsion systems, superconducting electromagnetic guns, superconducting particle beam weapons, high-power engines, superconducting energy storage systems, superconducting computers and so on. Lightweight structural materials can make metallic hydrogen stable and strong through the use of additives, with low density and high strength. According to scientists' estimates, its density may be only 0.7 grams per cubic centimeter, only 1/3 of the density of aluminum, 1/10 of the density of iron, but its strength is twice that of iron. If it is used to make military armored vehicles, fighter jets and other weapons and equipment, it will definitely save fuel than ordinary materials, and the performance will be better.
Solid metal hydrogen, a high-energy clean fuel, stores a large amount of energy and has a high energy per unit volume. If the energy stored in solid metallic hydrogen can be released slowly, it can be used instead of gasoline or other transportation fuels; If it can be released relatively quickly, it can be used as a propellant for rockets or ammunition, and the thrust generated per kilogram of solid metallic hydrogen is equivalent to 5 times that of each kilogram of liquid hydrogen-liquid oxygen rocket fuel. Missiles, artillery shells, and other weapons that use metal hydrogen as propellant will be greatly reduced in size, increase their range, and become more powerful.
If the chemical energy stored in the solid metal hydrogen can be fully released in a short period of time, it will produce an explosive effect, and then the metal hydrogen becomes an ultra-high-energy explosive that can be used as a weapon of mass destruction. The explosive power of metallic hydrogen is equivalent to 25~35 times that of TNT explosives of the same mass, and it is the most powerful chemical explosive imaginable.
Because the explosive power of metallic hydrogen weapons is comparable to that of nuclear weapons, it is called a fourth-generation nuclear weapon, along with new mechanical weapons under development, such as clean fusion bombs, antimatter weapons, laser particle beam weapons, and nuclear isogenic element weapons. Efficient Fusion FuelIn laser inertial confinement nuclear fusion, the nuclear fuel is a mixture of deuterium-tritium, an isotope of hydrogen. If solid metal deuterium-tritium is used as fuel pellets, due to its higher density than other forms of deuterium-tritium mixtures (such as gases or low-temperature ordinary solids), more fuel can be loaded in a target chamber of a certain volume, thus improving the efficiency of nuclear fusion and producing more fusion energy. The use of solid-state metal deuterium-tritium nuclear fusion fuel will make it possible to make the practical and miniaturization of nuclear fusion reactors in the future, and lay a material foundation for fusion energy to enter people's social life and military fields as soon as possible.
The most important significance of metallic hydrogen, which can bring humanity into the interstellar age. The Saturn V launch vehicle of the United States has a dead weight of up to 3,039 tons and a carrying capacity of only 119 tons. If I change all the fuel to metallic hydrogen. Only 600 tons of fuel are needed. Then more than 2,400 tons of Shangtaizong can be transported at a time, and human immigration to Mars will no longer be a dream. If it is combined with anti-gravity technology, it will not be a problem for a warship to take off hundreds of kilometers at a time. The interstellar age is actually very close to us. Anti-gravity technology, in fact, has been studied in various countries, but it is only on a small scale, and of course some achievements have been made. However, because of the huge amount of capital investment, many projects have been passed.
In Beijing, in the intelligence analysis room of the Fifth National Security Bureau (Intelligence Analysis and Notification Bureau), on the wall is a 100-inch large screen, on which is an image of a person, but this portrait is drawn, and the painting is very realistic. If Lin Feng saw it, he would definitely say: This painting doesn't look like it at all. did not show the melancholy and elegant temperament of the brother.
"We saw this person on the evening of May 12, in the double with the 80,000-ton hydraulic press punched 20 sets of components, after the analysis of researchers from Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it can be confirmed that the finished product after stamping is metal hydrogen, this material has not been manufactured by any scientific research institutions in the world. Through analysis, it is possible that it was used to make some kind of power generation device, and of course, it could also be a weapon. But I don't know what kind of technology they used, and all the surveillance along the way couldn't find them. You should know that many of these monitors are not connected to the Internet. And all the information they submitted was false. It's certain that they must have some ulterior motives. Look at the photos of the three of them, don't act rashly when looking for them, secretly monitor, report them, and then take action depending on the situation. Of course, if they are still in China! But find it as soon as possible, if they really detonate a hydrogen bomb in China, then the matter is a big deal. ”
"Director He, do we need to inform neighboring countries!"
"This matter itself is confidential, and the three words metal hydrogen must not be leaked! Overseas, I will apply to the higher authorities and let colleagues from other sub-bureaus cooperate. Let's all go and do things, and dismiss the meeting."
After everyone else left, He Nanping looked at the photos on the wall. He said to himself, "It can't be an alien!" Or some kind of secret organization, but there should be no secret organization that does not rely on the power of the state. May it be safe! He Nanping remembered the UFO with 20 times the speed of sound some time earlier, and before the interceptor plane could take off, it had already flown away.
On August 1, 2016, after a period of preparation, "2766 Robot Revolution" was finally launched. The film was highly anticipated from the start. The company claims to have invested $500 million. All special effects were produced by Magic Star Light and Shadow, directed by James Cameron, and the music team Immediate Music and Two Steps From Hell. In Hollywood, this is also the rhythm of going against the sky. However, the comments of netizens are also one-sided, but they all have no hope for the special effects of the magic star light and shadow, and they all think that if they have this money, why not find Hollywood to produce.
Qin Xiang responded very domineeringly: "Why don't you find Hollywood to make special effects, because we are the best in the world." Everyone has probably seen Avatar. Their special effects, for our team, are just cartoons. In our film, you will see a real future world. ”
When the Magic Star released a two-and-a-half-minute 4K version of the trailer, people all over the world were stunned.
