Chapter 445: Studying Extraterrestrial Materials
Li Hao got off in the parking lot of the scientific research building and walked towards the door of the building.
There were a lot of people waiting for him, and not just waiting for him.
When he went to the meeting in the morning, the space shuttle had already transported 500 tons of metalloids from the moon in batches.
These metal-like materials are not very heavy, but they have a volume of only one cubic meter.
The density of this metal-like material is very high, and it is completely incomparable to the density of core items of alien civilizations.
But the density of 500 grams per cubic centimeter is 500 times the density of water.
This kind of density is almost impossible to achieve with the observation of human civilization technology.
The laser industrial robot is to pick a corner. Under the watchful eyes of many scientists, these materials are slowly cut down.
The Space Exploration Group gave the country 0.5 cubic meters in accordance with the agreement with the state in advance, and they received 0.5 cubic meters.
When Li Hao walked to the door of the scientific research building, he found that the three giants of the scientific research building were waiting for him here.
He also discovered that there was a person who was not part of the research building, and that was with whom he had collaborated. Li Hao also invested in his research project, Mr. Zhu Bingwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Li Hao was the first to walk towards Academician Zhu Bingwen, and he wanted to go over to greet the guests. He wondered how Zhu Bingwen came here.
In addition to the three giants of Du Xianyu, Bi Ye and Guo Jianhao, the scientific research building. None of the others know the details of metalloids.
He thought that with Zhu Bingwen's level of secrecy that he could access, he would not know such a core secret about the relic space.
If only Zhu Bingwen had known the secret of this core in advance.
Li Hao was reluctant, he also had to clean up the team in the scientific research building.
He walked up to Zhu Bingwen, shook hands with him, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhu is not researching a more efficient thorium-based molten salt pile, how can he have time to come here in our scientific research building." ”
Hu Bingwen's face turned red and said excitedly: "This is still thanks to you, Mr. Li, because you have invested in our project."
I have more money to devote myself to researching technology, and now I have received a grant from the National Research Fund.
They also provided me with a very high-security nuclear physics laboratory.
My nuclear physics lab is very close to your research building.
Your research building often has some new materials, and some of them are very helpful for my research.
I'll come over when I have time to take a look, and today it's not a bottleneck in the direction of research. I was looking for an ideal material here. ”
After Zhu Bingwen finished speaking, he asked Li Hao: "Mr. Li, what is going on with you today?" I see why the directors of the three major laboratories are running outside, what are they preparing to meet? ”
He was about to leave after reading it, but he saw that this situation was unusually occurring in the scientific research building. This led to a great deal of curiosity. Wait with them here.
The directors of the three laboratories in the scientific research building, they are all familiar with Zhu Bingwen, and they will not clear the site directly. Zhu Bingwen also stayed here.
Li Hao learned that Zhu Bingwen stayed here because of curiosity. He was very satisfied, and it was good that there was no leak.
Li Hao replied directly: "It's nothing? Just discover a new material. It is up to them to carry out detailed tests on this material. ”
Li Hao had already communicated with Director Qiu Shi and knew what should be kept absolutely confidential.
This material does not need to be kept absolutely confidential and can be made public on a small scale.
Zhu Bingwen said with some surprise: "Have you made another new material?" Your company is really fast at making materials.
Even other companies have scientific research support systems, but they are not as fast as yours to make new materials. The properties of the materials vary greatly.
Can I take a tour with you about the characterization of this new material?
It would be great if it was helpful in studying thorium-based molten salt reactors. ”
Li Hao thought for a while and promised: "There is no problem with this, one more person to visit, it is impossible to affect the results of the experiment at all." ”
He asked Zhu Bingwen curiously: "Academician Zhu, your thorium-based molten salt reactor is also a kind of nuclear reactor.
Although we are in an industrial area, it is also very close to the city, and it is a densely populated place.
Your lab is here, is it appropriate to deploy a nuclear reactor? ”
"There's no need to worry about this at all, you're from Tsinghua University. Didn't you know that Tsinghua University also has a nuclear reactor inside.
There are several companies in Yanjing that openly own nuclear reactors.
Laboratory-grade nuclear reactors, there is no need to worry about it at all. They have very little nuclear material. and to achieve the highest degree of protection.
The laboratory is surrounded by thick lead plates, so that no radioactive material escapes.
A nuclear reactor in a laboratory and an industrial reactor are two completely different concepts.
I've now built a lab-grade thorium-based molten salt pile using Flame Gold. But now stuck in industrialization. ”
Li Hao still wanted to talk to Academician Zhu Bingwen, but he saw a heavy-duty truck driving not far from the scientific research building.
This belongs to the mining heavy-duty vehicles produced by XCMG.
It has four very wide wheels and is topped by a platform of about 5 square meters.
Above the platform are more than 200 very small boxes, and there is also a tightened fixed crane wheel on either side of the platform.
But look at the traces of the tires of the heavy-duty car.
It's not like a basic empty load at all, but like pulling a very heavy weight on top.
The truck quickly stopped in front of the research building, and an officer in military uniform stepped out of the heavy-duty truck.
He walked up to Li Hao, saluted him, and said, "We have been ordered to transport goods to your company, and we have arrived." Please accept. ”
Li Hao smiled and said to him: "You have worked hard all the way. ”
As he spoke, Bi Ye pushed his smart glasses. Began to inspect the small boxes one by one, sealed them, and then made a gesture of confirmation to Li Hao.
After Li Hao received the gesture, he took out a slip from his pocket. Hand it to the officer: "The items are in good condition, you have worked hard." ”
The officer saluted him again, then turned and walked into the car.
Begin to use the hoisting equipment arranged above the truck. Unload these small boxes of paper in front of the research building. No more, no less, a total of 250 small boxes.
There are employees who personally arrange the storage of this small box.
Li Hao asked his bodyguard to carry three small boxes and walked into the scientific research building.
The officer, who was directing the unloading in the car, watched the movements of the three bodyguards. I can't close my mouth for a long time with my mouth wide open.
He knew that although the boxes were small, each of them weighed up to a ton.
When Li Hao came to the laboratory, he began to arrange tasks.
Director Guo Jianhao is responsible for chemical corrosion experiments and electrolysis experiments on this material.
It is necessary to understand the reaction of this material to various chemicals.
Director Bi Ye has the heaviest task, and all kinds of materials mainly explore his physical properties, from ordinary physical properties to its reflection of high-energy history.
The course of the experiment can be changed at any time according to the changes in the material. ”
Du Xianyu said weakly: "Isn't there a job for me here?" ”
"This material has little to do with the biological aspect, and it does not contain radioactive materials. It also does not produce a special magnetic field.
You just have to stand on the sidelines and observe. Li Hao said speechlessly.
Director Du Xianyu asked this question superfluously, and there was almost no connection between this material and living things.
Under Li Hao's command, Guo Jianhao and Bi Ye split up and began to test the properties of this material.
Li Haozhe observed from the sidelines, and he went through the preliminary detection.
It is only known that this material hardly emits any radioactive material to the outside world. The rest of the situation is simply not understood.
Natural rays are a completely peculiar physical property that releases rays outward from anything on Earth.
Whether it's a stone or a piece of paper, even if it's the human body. He's all releasing a certain amount of rays outward.
It's just that the dose is very small, and all the creatures on the earth have adapted to this environment.
This is due to the physical properties of atoms, which have a specific half-life for each element.
Li Hao learned about the peculiar properties of this material, and he almost concluded that it was man-made.
Good news soon came from Bi Ye, and the first properties of this material had been mastered.
This metal-like material is heated by a high-energy magnetic reactor. Its detailed melting point has been obtained at 7642 degrees Celsius.
This high-energy magnetic reactor is a large induction cooker. The eddy current effect of electromagnetism is used to heat metal.
Heating this material to the melting point collects a lot of small metal particles.
Guo Jianmao took these small metal particles and began to conduct chemical reaction experiments on materials.
In Biye, the conventional physical properties such as yield strength and hard hardness of materials are judged step by step.
Guo Jianhao walked over with a depressed face, and he reported to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, the chemical properties of this material are extremely inactive.
It is extremely resistant to oxidation and anti-reduction. There are almost no known chemical reactions.
After we observed it with a scanning tunneling electron microscope, we found that this material is not a metallic material, but a silicon crystal.
Its silicon atoms have a special chemical bond that forms an extremely tight crystal structure. ”
Bi Ye also came over at this time, and he reported to Li Hao: "Mr. Li, we have mastered the basic physical properties of this material.
According to the mass spectrometer, it is composed of silicon atoms. Contains no other elements.
The hardness is 165 times that of steel, and the yield strength is 210 times that of steel. The toughness is 50 times that of steel.
Next, we will conduct high-energy particle experiments to bombard this material with high-speed electron flows, helium nuclei, and neutron flows. ”
"Since it is a crystal composed of silicon atoms and has metal-like properties, the material is named silicon gold crystal." He immediately began to name the material.
Li Hao was amazed by the characteristics of silicon gold crystal, if he found a way to make this material. That will play a huge role in improving the current industry.
Even if you can't find a way to make it, there is such a huge reserve on the moon. It will also greatly improve the level of the earth's industry.
It is from this material that the gears are made, thanks to its extremely good physical properties. It can bring equipment that could not be manufactured before to life again.
The results of the energetic particle experiment came out quickly, and everyone gathered around to see the results.
Li Hao hadn't expressed his opinion yet, but he only saw Academician Zhu Bingwen, who had been watching from the side, and after shouting "this is it" twice, he fainted excitedly.
