After arriving in the capital, Wang Hao went straight to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Because he didn't say hello in advance, the Institute of Aeronautical Materials was not prepared for this, and Cao Dongming, who knew the news, went to call the next person, so that the greeting team at the door seemed more lively.

Qu Shigang, Ai Yongchuan, and the two old academicians all came over.

They also complained about Cao Dongming and said, "Academician Wang Hao is coming, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

"That's right, if you know how to hang a banner, just a dozen people......"

Ai Yongchuan looked left and right, and said with some concern, "Don't let Academician Wang Hao think that we are not well entertained!" ”

"I just found out, too."

Cao Dongming smiled bitterly, "Academician Wang came by car. He said that he slept in the car at night, and he didn't bother when it was too late, and he just called to say that he was in the capital and wanted to come over. ”

"It's like a raid." Qu Shigang said depressedly, and then asked, "Is Academician Wang here this time ......?"

"Our research, me and Qu Gui!"

Cao Dongming said with some pride and continued, "Academician Wang said that our discovery is very important, so we decided to come over and have a look. ”

"Cooperation with Academician Wang?"

"Yes."

Qu Shigang gave Cao Dongming a thumbs up.

Ai Yongchuan joked, "It must be a great achievement to let Academician Wang travel a long distance." Dongming, you just won a third prize in science and technology, and you plan to make persistent efforts this year to win a second prize? ”

Everyone next to him laughed.

Cao Dongming also laughed twice, and knew that Ai Yongchuan was joking, how simple is it to win the Science and Technology Progress Award?

While a few people were laughing, they heard a shout in the distance, "It's coming." ”

They immediately rushed forward.

A military vehicle drove over and stopped in the open space at the door, and a guard with a gun came down from the co-pilot to help open the door on the side.

Wang Hao got out of the car.

Qu Shigang, Cao Dongming and others immediately greeted them, shook hands and greeted each other, and Ai Yongchuan kept saying polite words such as 'poor hospitality'.

Of course, Wang Hao didn't mind any inconsiderate hospitality, he directly talked about the purpose of coming, "I came here this time for the research of Professor Cao and Professor Qu. ”

He suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "By the way, it should be called Academician Cao." ”

Everyone else laughed.

Last year, Cao Dongming won the Scientific Progress Award and was also rated as an academician of the Academy of Engineering, and his personal achievements have been greatly improved.

Cao Dongming politely said a few words, and then talked to Wang Hao about the research findings.

Cao Dongming had simply said before that he only knew that the research was to find a method for separating first-order iron, but he didn't expect that it was worth Wang Hao's special trip to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Wang Hao's visit to the capital is a big event.

It's not a few years ago now, and it's not easy to meet Wang Hao, even some high-level leaders go to the West Sea to see Wang Hao.

So knowing that Wang Hao was coming to the capital, some leaders sent people over in advance to wait.

As long as Wang Hao is busy with his own affairs, he will quickly pull over to talk about other things, Wang Hao does not have much time to stay in the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Cao Dongming knew that Wang Hao's schedule was tight, so he simply took Wang Hao to the laboratory.

At this time, the irrelevant people can only leave.

The projects of the Institute of Aeronautical Materials have a certain degree of confidentiality, not to mention the projects that are jointly researched with Wang Hao.

In the laboratory, Wang Hao met Qu Gui.

The main person in charge of this research is Cao Dongming and Qu Gui, Qu Gui is an outstanding talent recommended by Cao Dongming, he is only 40 years old, his education is only undergraduate, and the graduate degree is on-the-job, he has risen from the lowest assistant technician, step by step, and now he is also a researcher.

With a bachelor's degree, it is not easy to successfully stay in the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, and it is naturally quite capable to serve as a researcher at the age of 40 as a graduate student.

"Experimenting with magnetized iron materials is also Professor Qu's idea."

Cao Dongming didn't have the idea of taking credit, he obviously admired Qu Gui very much, "At that time, Professor Qu said to try it with magnetized iron materials, and I thought it was too extravagant." ”

He immediately smiled bitterly, "It's not a matter of funding, even if we want to use magnetized iron materials in our hospital, we have to apply, but it's just magnetized materials, not first-order iron after extraction." ”

Wang Hao nodded lightly.

The price of first-order iron is very high, but magnetized iron material is much cheaper.

In the international market, first-order iron materials are now sold for $80 to $1 million per kilogram.

Magnetized iron materials are also relatively expensive, but the main reason is that the production and manufacturing capacity of Annihilation Technology Company is limited, and some of them are used for external sales to achieve high profits, and the supply of materials to the domestic science and technology sector is also limited.

After talking about the idea, Cao Dongming and Qu Gui introduced the experiment together, "Our furnace temperature is kept between 1560 and 1600 degrees Celsius, and we have created a special environment of high magnetism and high pressure. ”

"In this environment, we stirred in all directions and conducted experimental observations."

"In the beginning, we didn't find anything, but after the experimental material cooled and solidified, we tested it again, and found that the edge part of the material, the first-order iron content increased a lot, and the center part showed a significant decrease."

"Later, we conducted experiments and determined that one-way stirring would cause the first-order iron in the magnetized material to gather towards the edges......"

Wang Hao listened to the explanation of the two and looked at the experimental report in his hand.

This is not a large-scale experiment.

Cao Dongming's 'magnetized iron material' is only a small piece, and the furnace is also used in the laboratory, and it is very easy to create a high-temperature, high-magnetic, and even high-voltage environment.

Wang Hao put down the report in his hand, picked up a piece of solidified magnetized iron material, and observed it carefully, of course, he would not find anything.

He's thinking about a question --

Why does one-way agitation in high magnetic, high-pressure, and high-temperature environments cause first-order iron to accumulate towards the edge?

What is the underlying principle?

At temperatures between 1550 and 1600 degrees Celsius, conventional iron melts at high temperatures, while first-order iron has a higher melting point and remains solid.

But that's just theory.

The first-order iron in magnetized iron materials is absolutely uniformly distributed, and the so-called 'absolute uniformity' is compared with microscopic atoms, and the overall content is only a little more than 2%.

When the melting point of conventional iron is reached, it is impossible to separate the first-order iron by only stirring the physical means, that is, the high magnetic and high-pressure environment plays a role.

"It's still about specificity."

"Under the strong annihilation force field, the magnetic field emitted by the first-order iron element is different, so the effect of the magnetic field will definitely be different......

Wang Hao thought about it and pressed his head hard.

Although this is true in theoretical analysis, experimental studies have not found anything, and it is impossible to distinguish between iron and first-order iron using the magnetic field alone.

"In addition, the high voltage ......"

"Elemental iron, with a simple semi-topological structure inside, doesn't say anything."

"If it is replaced by an iron-based superconducting material, there will be no difference between first-order iron and conventional iron after melting, and it is impossible to make similar discoveries."

"So, how do you make the semi-topological structure work?"

Wang Hao thought of microsphere manufacturing.

Microsphere manufacturing is to put the melted material in a characteristic solution, and constantly stir in the process of cooling and solidification to separate the material into small balls.

"Is it okay to change it to an iron-based superconducting material and put it in a liquid after melting a superconducting material with a higher melting point?" His eyes lit up.

The idea has been around for a long time, but there has been no clear idea.

Now Cao Dongming and Qu Gui's experimental discoveries have made him more clear about his research and development ideas, and at the same time, he has also thought of many technical problems that must be overcome.

For a semi-topology to work, the manufacturing process must be maintained in a high-voltage energized state.

It is not easy to find a suitable superconducting material with a higher melting point.

In addition, the problem of high magnetism also needs to be solved.

But no matter how many technical problems there are to overcome, it is most important to clarify the research direction, Wang Hao immediately explained, "Academician Cao, Professor Qu, you should make a detailed report as soon as possible." ”

"Your results are very remarkable, and my research is very important for the manufacturing technology related to first-order iron."

Cao Dongming asked suspiciously, "The manufacturing technology of first-order iron...... Isn't it extraction? ”

Wang Hao smiled, "It's not just extraction, you'll know soon." ”

He didn't explain it in detail.

Cao Dongming asked, "Academician Wang, tell me carefully, how important it is, can you win the third prize of scientific and technological progress?" ”

"This ......"

Wang Hao hesitated and said, "I don't know if I can win the award." ”

"However, with this achievement, you will definitely have no problem researching first-order iron and applying for ten tons or eight tons from the Annihilation Technology Company."

“——？”

Cao Dongming and Qu Gui glanced at each other and opened their mouths wide.

First Order Iron?

Ten tons, eight tons?

This is much more powerful than any scientific and technological progress award!

……

As soon as Wang Hao walked out of the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, he was enthusiastically accepted to the science and technology department.

Mr. Xu and several other leaders have been waiting for a long time, and one of them is a military leader who wants to talk about super stealth technology.

Wang Hao briefly explained the stealth technology, and also got a message from the military leaders that the flight stealth test of the air-ship-2 had already been carried out once.

"Everything works."

"It's the same as expected, except that when it's invisible, the aircraft can't send signals to the outside world, and I'm worried about what accidents will happen at the time......

"Over there at the Radar Institute, Professor Shen Huiming's research is too important!"

When stealth technology is installed on the aircraft, you can intuitively feel the importance of being able to transmit data, even if it is just the simplest way to send and receive signal commands, at least to ensure the normal operation of the aircraft, rather than just waiting on the ground.

Wang Hao asked, "Is there any new progress in Professor Shen's research?" ”

The military leader said distressedly, "The first-order shortwave can be released and received, but the experimental equipment is too complicated, and it will take a lot of time to manufacture the device and install it for use......

"However, the pace is already very fast."

"We always want to have some technology ready to use immediately, so we're planning to use one airship 2 as a guide at high altitude, and another one can be close to the ground to carry out the mission stealthily."

"So that the ...... can be used collaboratively"

Wang Hao was still very concerned about the Air Tank-2, he chatted with the military leaders about a lot of related content, and then talked to others about the research problems related to the strong annihilation force field.

At present, the strong annihilation force field generation technology has reached a bottleneck in terms of strength, and it is very difficult to research and improve it on the existing basis.

"If you use the existing high-pressure hybrid materials, the strength can be increased by up to 0.5, which is only theoretical data, and the time and resources required in the process are enormous."

"So it's a bit more than worth the cost to study it."

"If you want to make a big improvement, you have to start with the technical principles or basic materials."

"And the first-order elemental materials have already been determined to be no."

Wang Hao said a lot about the Annihilation Force Field Technique, and also let a few leaders who came over in particular learn the information they wanted to know.

After that, the leadership of the science and technology department remains.

Mr. Xu and Wang Hao chatted alone, they were already old acquaintances, so they said some daily words, "I heard that you have been researching granular material technology recently?" Going to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials also has something to do with this, right? Is there a catch? ”

Wang Hao said, "This harvest is not small, at least it affirms my ideas." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it? ”

Teacher Xu suddenly became interested.

Wang Hao explained, "We cooperated with Academician Cao Dongming and Professor Qu Gui, who used magnetized iron materials to find that in high temperature, high pressure and high magnetic environment, a single stirring will make the first-order iron ......"

"This finding is very important."

"Theoretically, the specific external manifestation of first-order iron is to excite magnetization, which ...... under the influence of high magnetism and high pressure."

"But in reality, there were no relevant findings in the experiment......"

"I think ......"

"Ula Ula ~~"

Mr. Xu pretended to be listening, and nodded from time to time, but in fact, he didn't understand anything.

He regretted it.

What are the results of research, wouldn't it be nice to know the situation?

Why listen to explanations?

When he saw that Wang Hao took a breath and seemed to be unsatisfied and wanted to continue, Mr. Xu hurriedly interrupted to change the topic, "Do you know the negotiation with Ameriken last time?" ”

"I've heard about it, but I don't know the specifics."

"The talk fell apart."

Mr. Xu said, "They want to buy magnetized iron materials at a cheap price, or even at cost price, and the chips they come up with are high-tech product ban lists, but there are still various restrictions." ”

"We mentioned a few key things that were stuck in the neck, and they were all rejected."

"From the negotiation to the present, Amriken's side, no, it should be said that the several companies that Grum Lake plans to cooperate with, have seen a significant drop in purchase orders for magnetized iron materials."

Wang Hao was a little puzzled, "They don't buy it?" ”

Or, it can also be understood as ...... Limited funding for this research program? Teacher Xu said that he laughed.

He shook his head and continued, "Actually, there are many debates in China about the manufacture and research of first-order iron, and the most important thing is the price. ”

"It's too little to make, too expensive!"

"Academician Wang, do you think the price of magnetized iron materials should be appropriately reduced?"

The price reduction that Mr. Xu said is aimed at home and abroad.

The price of magnetized iron materials for foreign institutions is very high, and the supply price for domestic scientific research institutions will not be too cheap.

This is inevitable, otherwise there will be problems.

In fact, there has been a similar situation, some scientific research institutions have obtained magnetized iron materials, and resold them to foreign countries through some private channels to obtain considerable profits.

Something like this is a big problem as long as it is found.

Now that there has been a discovery, there may be many more that have not been discovered, and human beings will always take risks for huge profits.

Wang Hao thought for a moment and hesitated, "The price of magnetized iron materials ...... You shouldn't be asking me, right? ”

Mr. Xu said, "I want to hear your opinions on the research and development and future applications related to first-order iron. That's the direct problem. ”

"You should also know that there is a lot of controversy about the first-order iron."

"Because it's too expensive, it's expensive now, and it's expensive in the future. Your research report says that even if the strong annihilation field is increased, the first-order iron content will not increase much, right? ”

"This content, even if the magnetized iron material is zero cost and retail price, can only be applied to the most high-end scientific and technological fields in the future, which makes the research in many directions lose its meaning."

That's the point of contention.

First-order iron is too expensive, as high as tens or tens of billions of dollars per kilogram, even if the extraction technology is improved and the price of magnetized iron materials is reduced to zero, it must exceed 100,000 dollars per kilogram, and a ton is 100 million US dollars, which is twice as expensive as gold.

With such expensive material, it is impossible to achieve a wide range of references.

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, he raised his head and found that Wang Hao was looking at him with a puzzled face, he touched his cheek with his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Hao asked suspiciously, "Mr. Xu, I have just said how to solve this problem, why do you still ask?" ”

"Huh?"

Teacher Xu was stunned with his mouth half-open.

He recalled it carefully for a long time, but he still didn't expect when Wang Hao had said anything about the price of first-order iron.

He said tentatively, "You repeat it again?" Maybe I didn't hear it clearly. ”

Wang Hao nodded and explained, "The new discovery of Academician Cao Dongming and Professor Qu Gui shows that in a high temperature, high pressure and high magnetic environment, one-way stirring will separate the first-order iron from the conventional iron and diffuse it to the side......

"First-order iron is specific, and the magnetic field it excites under a strong annihilation force field produces a resistance to strong field forces......"

"This leads to ......"

"When first-order iron is separated from conventional iron, the protection of the magnetic field will be weakened and reduced, and more ...... can be created under the pressure of the field force."

Teacher Xu rubbed his forehead vigorously, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Academician Wang, Academician Wang, stop for a moment, stop for a moment, can you make it simpler?" ”

His expression even had a pleading tinge on it.

"Okay."

Wang Hao nodded lightly and thought for a while, "To put it simply, we have a technology that can quickly manufacture first-order iron in large quantities without the need for the extraction process. ”

Mr. Xu waited for a long time, and before he could wait for the next sentence, he asked with some surprise, "It's over?" ”

"Done?"

"That's it?"

Teacher Xu slapped his head vigorously as he spoke, annoyed why he pretended to understand, and knew that he would have to ask directly?

Tortured in vain......

That's not right!

He reacted suddenly, slapped the table with wide eyes, and shouted excitedly, "What? Mass manufacturing of first-order iron? ”

"Yes."

"Is it first-order iron? Not a magnetized material? ”

"Of course."
