The Red Beach Laboratory can find more replicating fungal materials, but now everyone doesn't know the malleability of this material, and I heard Wu Zheng say that he was looking for someone to test the material.

Yang Zhou nodded and said, "I just happened to be free today, so let's go together." ”

Of course, Wu Zheng has no opinion.

Soon, he cut a piece of material with a water knife and went to the materials laboratory of the Academy of Sciences with Yang Zhou.

Academician Wu met acquaintances there.

On the way there, Wu Zheng was discussing with Yangzhou, where is this material suitable for?

Yang Zhou and Wu Zheng are both biologists, and they certainly don't know much about the application of materials as materials scientists, and they can only discuss where this material is useful from scratch.

Yang Zhou thought for a while and said: "Judging from the high temperature resistance, radiation resistance, and the currently known recommendations, this material is very suitable for aerospace technology, of course, I think it is used in controlled nuclear fusion, and the small sun project is also very suitable, have you analyzed the microstructure of the material these days?" For example, isn't it because of the different structure of graphene that the fragile carbon element exceeds the hardness of diamond? ”

It is true that there are many materials, because of the different molecular structures, different properties will appear, and there is even a special discipline that studies the structure of materials.

Whether microscopic or macroscopic, special materials with unique characteristics can be formed through different structural changes.

Wu Zheng and Yang Zhou have similar ideas, and he also thinks that this special material can be used in controlled nuclear fusion and aerospace vehicles.

The biggest difficulty that human beings encounter in entering the universe today is the complex and changeable environment in the universe.

There is radiation, high temperature, and low temperature in the universe all the time, and spacecraft must adapt to the space environment for a long time.

The two soon came to the materials laboratory of the Academy of Sciences, and also contacted the academicians of the Academy of Engineering to participate in the test.

This academician is an expert in the direction of materials, and he has long heard of Yang Zhou's name.

However, in the past, one of the research directions was the direction of physical materials, and the other was biotechnology, and the two were basically unrelated.

Some time ago, Yang Zhou gave a speech in the field of biology, giving examples of many plant material properties.

Part of the content of the speech reached the ears of Academician Liu Fan.

This naturally made Liu Fan, a material expert, feel that he couldn't laugh or cry, and those who specialize in various materials have already analyzed plant materials.

In ancient times, people used wooden materials to build houses, palaces and carvings, but since the industrial age, human material technology has made rapid progress.

Wooden structures are ubiquitous in nature and inexpensive.

However, after all, due to the hardness, flexibility, flammability and other reasons of the material, it cannot be applied to various machinery and equipment, and is more used for building materials and decorative materials, such as wooden floors, wooden furniture, wooden decorations and so on.

Yang Zhou actually thought of biomaterials, beyond various alloys just now, and used in aerospace, which is simply a fantasy.

Of course, Liu Fan still respects Yang Zhou, who has overcome cancer, and dismantles the stage without meeting.

Liu Fan beckoned Yang Zhou and his party to go to the scientific research materials laboratory, and on the way he wondered: "Does Professor Yang need to use any materials?" ”

Without Yang Zhou to speak, Wu Zheng explained: "That's right, Academician Liu, we have discovered a special material, which has extremely superior radiation resistance, high temperature resistance and hardness, and we want to test the ductility of this material." ”

Academician Liu suddenly became interested when he heard this, and he was curious: "Is there really such an excellent material?" ”

If the material is really hard and resistant to radiation and high temperatures, the space for this material to be used is too vast.

Academician Liu, who specializes in materials, knows very well what fields such materials can be used in.

This material is in great need even in the projects he is personally involved in.

Materials scientists are active in all walks of life, for example, Academician Liu is now registered in many laboratories, and usually needs to go to these laboratories to guide the research of materials, and even is the external technical director of the steel plant.

Listening to Wu Zheng's meaning, this material is not a metal material, and then think about their profession is a plant material? Academician Liu thought in his heart.

It was also inconvenient for Wu Zheng to disclose some secret information, so he had to make a fool of himself and ask Academician Liu to start the test quickly.

From the attitude of the other party, Academician Liu knew that this kind of material was not simple, so he didn't ask more, and quickly took the two of them into the experimental room with the material box.

Naturally, the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences cannot do ultra-high temperature melting point research, and the materials have not been sent here before, and the laboratories of the Academy of Sciences are ordinary materials for research.

However, ductility does not require special experimental instruments.

Yang Zhou stood aside and watched the two busy, Wu Zheng wore gloves and took out a strip of white object the length of his middle finger from the material box.

It is no longer clear from the appearance that this material comes from the fungus stem.

Seeing this snow-colored material, Academician Liu had countless metals and compounds in his mind, but none of them could correspond to this white object.

Academician Liu did not waste time and prepared to process the materials.

To accurately test ductility, the corresponding length, width and height must be cut.

And because of the length of the tensile test, the material should not be too large, so after the processing of Academician Liu, the white strip will become a cube with a length of one centimeter and a width of 10 mm.

Seeing that Academician Liu was about to cut the material, Wu Zheng hurriedly stopped: "Academician Liu, don't cut it, the hardness of this special material has reached the level of diamonds, and it is very precious, so use the current size for the ductility test, and finally make it a little troublesome, just calculate the ductility with the current volume." ”

Academician Liu nodded to show that he understood, and then started the tensile instrument and fixed the two ends of the material on both sides of the tensile instrument.

This tensile meter can record information such as the strength and length of the stretch.

The material itself is only the length of the middle finger, and it stands to reason that such a hard solid should not have much ductility, so the tensometer can handle it completely.

Yangzhou didn't know how long this stretch meter could stretch, so he didn't remind him.

The experiment was carried out quickly, and what everyone did not expect was that when a pulling force of about 2 tons was used.

The material becomes extremely soft, like noodles, and extends easily to the sides.

The maximum stretching distance of this stretch meter is only about two meters, except for Yangzhou, everyone did not expect to reach the limit distance of the stretch meter so easily.

Academician Liu was a little dumbfounded, he looked at this scene in disbelief, and exclaimed: "How is this possible!" ”

Yang Zhou didn't know that the special material would become as soft and hard as dough under the force of two tons.

Seeing this, everyone knows what the potential of this material is.

Yang Zhou was curious: "How to test it now?" ”

Scientists have a way, even if the machine can't, and in a moment they think of another test method.

Half an hour later, two heavy trucks were attached to the tow rope, behind which there was a strength test instrument, and behind it was a special material.

In order to prevent decoupling, barbs are even cut in special materials with a water knife, so that no matter how much force there is, unless the material is broken, there will be no problems.

The two heavy trucks turned their backs to each other and began to move forward, and the driver slowly stepped on the accelerator and finally reached a force of two tons.

Once again, the special material became soft, and with almost no much force, the two cars were separated by 5 or 6 meters from each other.

According to the length and volume of the special material, it has been stretched at least 300 times the distance, and if the material is thinner, the stretch distance will be even farther!

You must know that this is only the length of the middle finger of the material, the ductility has exceeded the original 300 times, if there is a meter of such material, then as long as the force of about two tons is applied, it can be extended to 300 meters!

Academician Liu and Academician Wu were already trembling with excitement, Yang Zhou hugged his arms and looked at everyone with a smile on his face, it seems that soon all walks of life will become different because of this material.
