Chapter 375: Conduct research automatically
When Max and the others heard him say this, they were shocked, and hurriedly looked at the machinery that they didn't pay much attention to just now.
"This is a comprehensive laboratory, including various major experimental projects in the materials discipline, and then, we integrate them into a small closed body, through a special computer control, researchers only need to put the materials needed for various experiments, into the material warehouse, the small robot inside, can automatically replenish various materials, for laboratory use."
"This is an automatic scientific research device that requires no human involvement!"
Director Li's heart was beating violently, and he studied automatically, which was like a dream!
Chen Weidong shrugged his shoulders and said with some regret: "However, this kind of computer is very fast, but it is a program after all, so it lacks the greatest advantage of human beings: imagination!"
"Therefore, it can only be mechanically researched according to the research direction set by human beings, and if it encounters a breakthrough research direction, it still needs human beings to guide it."
He took a few representatives of the consortium to the control room, where there was a large LCD screen with many words that were constantly beating.
The representative of the Boston consortium, Calvo Rhodes, fixed his eyes, his mouth opened wide, he also knew some Chinese, and every beating line here is a scientific achievement, a scientific discovery.
He only looked at it for a few minutes, and he saw the formulas of more than a dozen new materials, which were successfully tested by this laboratory!
As an outstanding graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and a senior investment consultant in the financial industry, he has an in-depth understanding of the technical development direction in some fields, and he still has a general idea of the international and mainstream alloy material level.
And the value of each alloy material successfully tested in this laboratory is one or two orders of magnitude higher than the best value of the current characteristic alloy!
"Oh! Oh my God?"
"This is a perfluoroetan O-seal?!"
Max stood at the outlet of the lab, picked up a round black rubber ring from it, and was instantly shocked.
The Rockefeller consortium has a large financial network, but it is still dominated by oil monopolies, and he once reviewed Exxon Mobil oil company reports during the energy crisis last year.
In one of the reports, it was found that Mobil Oil spent a significant amount of money each year to purchase a special material seal from the DuPont consortium for use in equipment such as oil rigs.
The seals are resistant to more than 1,800 different chemicals, such as concentrated nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, ethylenediamine and steam, and are also stable at high temperatures, up to 327 degrees Celsius.
It can be used well even under extreme conditions.
Even NASA rocket fuel tanks have to use this sealing material.
This shows how powerful this material is.
The price of this kind of sealing ring is as high as hundreds of thousands of dollars a piece, and it contributes a lot of profits to DuPont every year.
Not only that, Max also knows that Huaxia is extremely dependent on imports in the fields of energy development and chemical plants, so this kind of sealing ring also occupies a very large market share in the Huaxia market.
In order to protect technical patents, DuPont only sells perfluoroelastomer products and does not sell rubber compounds.
The sealing ring represents the level of polymer materials in a country.
With the current level of science and technology in Huaxia, even if they are given more than ten or twenty years, they will not be able to manufacture sealing rings with the same characteristics.
And here, it was thrown aside like garbage!
"Hehe, Mr. Max, you can also see that the most achievements here are materials." Chen Weidong waited for him to calm down before continuing: "These projects, which require a lot of experiments to verify, are the strength of independent laboratories, but for research that requires imagination, it is weak."
"It's going to take our researchers, to be involved, to guide it
to help it change the direction of its research."
Calvo Rhodes said in disbelief, "Mr. Chen, you said that there are all small robots in there, experimenting, so what if they break?"
"They will fix it automatically, they have all the labs in it, they can build anything, including the internal parts that are damaged, they can fix it themselves."
"Unless all the robots break down at the same time, it will be really troublesome and will take a lot of time, because these parts are very precise, even if you rely on your own laboratory, it is also a big project to fully repair them."
Calvo Rhodes thought for a moment and dispelled another doubt in his mind, which was the problem of control.
Since it is time-consuming for small robots to manufacture precision equipment, it means that it is impossible for infinity companies to build a large number of robots in a short period of time.
[In view of the general environment,
The reason is also very simple, a large assembly line can manufacture large-scale equipment in batches.
This is called an autonomous laboratory, and since it includes laboratories in various disciplines, the floor space of each laboratory is bound to be limited.
A small production line, even if it is running at full capacity, it will take a long time to establish a large number of application robots.
Therefore, these robots can only be used for scientific research at present.
The four representatives of the consortium generally understood the pros and cons of independent laboratories.
They were deeply shocked by this research operation, and almost subverted their stereotype of the land.
On the other hand, they also felt the chills.
How much scientific and technological strength are hidden in the Chinese people?
You know, they've just visited Infinity, two labs, and it's said that they have a total of six major discipline labs, so they don't know how much amazing information is hidden!
Sure enough, when they offered to continue visiting several other laboratories, they were immediately rejected by the young general manager.
Even Director Li, who has not spoken much, pulled Chen Weidong aside, saying that he could no longer take these foreigners around to hang out, what if the core technology was leaked?
It's a violation of the rules to be able to take them here.
Even though Chen Weidong has repeatedly said that real technology cannot be learned at a glance, he still has a very cautious attitude.
In addition, he also felt that the trip was worthwhile, and the harvest of this trip was too rich, rich to the point that he couldn't imagine.
As for other material formulas, and so on, they are all secondary, the country's strength is up, everything can be obtained, and what is not available for the time being, there will always be in the future.
But science and technology are the biggest hard power!
With a smile on his face, he and Chen Weidong and the others withdrew from the underground laboratory, and he had already decided that after he went back, he would submit a detailed report to that person, and it was best to let the upper authorities establish a special organization to protect the safety of these laboratories.
This is not only for his political achievements, but also for Huaxia to be able to quickly widen the distance with other countries in some fields, and take the lead far and occupy a very advantageous position.
Coming out of the materials laboratory, all the personnel of the institution stood at the door, anxiously waiting.
