Materials Testing Center.

Zhou Qing made a report on 'carbon silicon crystal'.

Everyone looked at the 'silicon carbon crystal' on the screen and was fascinated.

'Silicon carbon crystal' is a kind of translucent crystal particle, which naturally presents a regular polygonal structure, and has a colorful light under the illumination of light.

As researchers in materials science, they naturally know that the color of the light is due to the presence of other impurities.

Even so, to be able to form such a structure, with a colored glow, is very remarkable, and can be described as beautiful.

Wang Hui and Zhou Qing discussed it and thought that they had found their 'goal'.

They don't know where the material comes from, what kind of research they are doing, they just do the detection and analysis of the material, and the rest of the parts are charred debris, and there is nothing to pay attention to.

Once the goals are set, the lab assigns the work.

In one day, the laboratory completed the basic testing of carbon and silicon crystals, and Wang Hui immediately submitted the report and sent it to Wang Hao.

At the same time, he also made an application to get more materials for follow-up more complex tests.

Strong S-wave research base.

At the bottom of the hill is a row of makeshift houses, in which Wang Hao sits in a small house that is only a dozen square meters and is also his temporary office.

Although the environment is very simple, the equipment that should be there is not affected by the work.

Wang Hao stared at the computer screen, checking the latest report, his brows furrowed slightly, his face was puzzled, and he was recalling what Wang Hui said just now.

Wang Hui said...... Found what I was looking for? What am I looking for? ”

"How did I not know?"

After conducting the experiment, the experimental group dug up the black powder that participated in the reaction in the ground.

Those are the residues after the soil comes into contact with the super-S wave area, and the residues are sent to the material testing center, just to let them do basic testing, hoping to know what kind of reaction has occurred.

In fact, Wang Hao didn't expect to detect anything.

The soil itself is very complex, with a wide variety of elements and chemical compositions, and complex thermal reactions can also mask a lot of traces, so it is difficult to detect what can be obtained from the residue.

Wang Hao opened the report with doubts, and knew what Wang Hui was talking about.

"Silicon carbon crystals? Moissanite? ”

"Similar to diamonds and diamonds......"

It was a wonderful discovery.

Moissanite, also known as mouissanite, is natural silicon carbide, natural moissanite is a mineral discovered by Henri-Moissan in a meteorite in 1893 and named after him.

Since Henri Moissan proved that he had never prepared samples with artificial SiC, the suspicion that artificial SiC was involved was eliminated.

Since then, natural SiC has been found in meteorites, kimberlite and other different types of rocks, but as a native natural SiC, it is only found in meteorites and kimberlite.

In the industrial world, there is an artificially manufactured silicon carbide, known as emery, which is a hexahedral granular material that has been widely used in the construction industry.

Whether it is naturally occurring silicon carbide or artificially manufactured silicon carbide, it generally presents black particles or powders, and natural silicon carbide is very similar to coal, and it is certainly far from being 'beautiful'.

The silicon carbide on the report is a transparent crystal, and it presents a regular polyhedral structure, and when magnified, it looks like a polished diamond, and it looks like a colorful light under the light.

"It does look unusual."

"This is supposed to be the discovery of a new substance, caused by a reaction in the region of strong S waves?"

"Carbon-silicon crystal...... Maybe it's like elemental carbon takes on different forms in nature, graphite, charcoal, diamond, ......"

"Silicon carbide is okay too?"

Wang Hao frowned and shook his head, and continued to read the report.

There are two very outstanding characteristics of moissisite in the report, one is that the chemical properties are stable, and conventional chemical reactions will occur at high temperatures.

It shows a burning temperature figure – above 3200 degrees Celsius.

It's pretty amazing.

Combustion, not melting, the melting point of carbon and silicon is very high, but the melting point is detected under vacuum, in a conventional environment, as long as it reaches a certain temperature, carbon and silicon will have a chemical reaction with air.

Carbon, naturally, is burned.

Today's silicon carbon crystals reach 3200 degrees Celsius before they can react with the air and burn, which can be described as incredible.

The report also states that "during combustion, very high heat is released, more than twenty times higher than that of conventional release." ”

This is only an estimate.

Because there is not enough material to study, experimental tests cannot produce accurate results.

Wang Hao looked at the data and knew that there must be some kind of unknown reaction in it, which may be a very surprising discovery.

In the case of a conventional chemical reaction, where one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms are combined, the amount of heat released during combustion can be calculated.

Now the heat is directly increased by more than 20 times, which is obviously not the usual situation.

The second noteworthy is the hardness, "The Vickers hardness of moissanite is more than 140 GPa. ”

This is also a staggering statistic.

The Vickers hardness of silicon carbide is in the range of 28~34GPa, and the hardness of Mohs is between 9~9.5.

In the definition of Mohs hardness, the hardest material is diamond, with a hardness index of 10.

Compared with diamond, there is still a certain gap in the hardness of silicon carbide, and the hardness of the newly discovered carbon silicon crystal has exceeded that of diamond, so it can no longer be measured by Mohs hardness.

Vickers hardness is a direct measurement, and diamond has a Vickers hardness of more than 98GPa, which is already the hardest natural substance on earth.

The Vickers hardness of the silicon carbon crystal is more than 140GPa, which can also be described as incredible.

"This discovery is indeed amazing, and it's no wonder Hui said that he found the target I was looking for......"

"What I'm looking for?"

Wang Hao shook his head with a smile, he didn't expect such a major discovery at all.

After reading the report, he asked people to send more black powder to the material testing center and continued to let Wang Hui's laboratory do the testing.

Moissanite must continue to be studied in depth, its composition and structure, and its special chemical properties.

There must be something unknown in it, and it is likely to be related to the peculiarity of strong S waves.

……

After the equipment was adjusted, the SuperS Wave Research Group conducted a second experiment.

The adjustment of the device is mainly for the release direction.

Although it is only a directional adjustment, it is still very complex and involves a lot of calculation problems, not only to make the device deviate from an angle, but also to make certain internal corrections.

Of course, the process is not that complicated.

So the second experiment also started very quickly, and with the data from the previous experiment, the research team is very confident that the super-S wave region will be released above the surface.

Once the device was turned on, they waited for a message from the team looking for the hyperwave area.

This experiment is very similar to the last time, and it is still more than a dozen helicopters taking off to find it, but because there are not many changes inside, the release distance will not be much different, and the search is relatively simple.

The team only waited about five minutes before learning that they had found a strong S-wave area.

The area of strong S-waves is found in a flat area, about three meters above the ground, and some below the ground.

As a result, there is still smoke all around.

After the helicopter approached the super S wave area, it landed in the distance, and the personnel on it slowly approached, and they took close-up photos near ten miles, and they could already see the thin black layer in the middle.

"It's a thin layer of flattening."

"There was a violent reaction below the ground, and a lot of smoke came out."

"The temperature in the surrounding area is very high, and it is no longer possible to get close to ......"

The on-site personnel made a report.

Although it has not been possible to detect it at close range, strong S-wave areas have been found above the ground, and the experimental progress is still great.

The study group immediately knew what to do next.

They first shut down the device and then decided that they would no longer make adjustments to the device.

Later, the military team responsible for finding the strong S wave began to dig in the same position, digging a 10-meter-deep pit and building a protective wall around it.

Two days later, the device turned on again.

The strong S-wave area appears in the center of the crater, and because there is no contact with the ground, the view from above is very clear.

"Even though it didn't come into contact with the ground, it generated heat."

"The area of strong S-waves heats the air."

"However, the heat is much smaller than before, and the temperature at the inner edges is about 60 degrees."

With clear data, the next step was to continue to expand the area and transport a few coolers to keep the temperature inside the pit as low as possible.

Now it's time for the experiment.

Wang Hao was very much looking forward to the study of the strong S-wave area, and he even wanted to go to the site to check it himself, but unfortunately, he was still dissuaded.

He still sent other manpower, including Wang Qiang, Zhou Zhiwang, and Huang Zhen and Ding Zhiqiang from the theory group.

This time, Ding Zhiqiang didn't complain anymore.

Compared with the boring environment of the experimental base, it is obviously much more interesting to study the strong S-wave region in the field.

It was a study of a new kind of physical discovery, a direct study of the special properties of strong S waves, and many people wanted to go to the site to see it, but unfortunately they still had to stay in the experimental base.

After entering the formal study, the strong S-wave device is turned on once every two days on average, and each time it lasts about half an hour.

This is to ensure the smooth operation of the equipment.

The research team soon made a series of discoveries, for example, that the region of strong S waves has a direct impact on matter, but also on air, in the form of obvious thermal reactions.

They found that the denser the substance, the stronger it became.

This finding is the most straightforward.

After several experiments, the team found several auxiliary equipment, including two excavators, which were specifically responsible for transporting materials through the ultra-S wave thin layer area, and also had some gains.

"The material reacts with high heat without significant mass loss."

"This hyperthermic reaction may be the result of high magnetization, and theoretically, strong S waves will strip the electron shell from the atom."

"The stripping of the electron shell is equivalent to the ionization of atoms, and the high heat may be caused by the loss of mass of electrons or other tiny particles."

"Super-S waves also affect the air, and the process is the same, mainly the stripping of the electron shell of the atom." ”

"When the elemental metal material passes through the super S wave region, a huge magnetization reaction will occur, which is higher than the conventional strong annihilation force field, and from the perspective of magnetization, it has exceeded the critical line of the upgrade, but the metal element has not been upgraded."

These findings are somewhat disappointing.

However, after the substance passes through the super-S wave region, there is no direct change, only a high-heat reaction, and what happens is only an inference.

The study group began to discuss the next steps.

Meanwhile.

Ding Zhiqiang discussed with the on-site personnel what kind of material would pass through the strong S-wave region in the next experiment.

He consulted with Zhu Jian, the head of the military team, and asked them to find some moissanite.

Zhu Jian didn't know why he was looking for moissanite, but Ding Zhiqiang was the representative of the theory group, so he confessed that he had found a lot of moissanite.

The moissanite they found was naturally formed, and some were artificially made emery, all of which were very common and cheap materials.

After the materials are ready, it is time for the next experiment.

The experimenters around the field force are all standing high above and watching the black pitch flat layer formed by the strong S waves, and there are also people directing the mechanical control material to pass through the flat thin layer.

Soon, most of the experiments were completed.

In the end, only the moissanite and emery that Ding Zhiqiang had prepared were left, and a large piece of material similar to coal was transported to the front of the flat thin layer.

No one else cared, only Ding Zhiqiang, Huang Zhen and others watched seriously.

When the 'coal substance' comes into contact with the flat layer, it is obvious that a large cloud of smoke is stirred up, which makes it impossible to see at all.

Others simply waited for the experiment to end and began to direct other work.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that?" ”

"Crystals? Transparent? ”

"It seems to be ......"

"The smoke is too big to see clearly......"

When the shouts appeared, many people immediately looked towards the other end of the strong S-wave area, and found that something similar to a transparent spar appeared.

If someone stands in the middle, they can see it clearly.

One end of the flat layer is a black substance similar to a coal mine, and the other end becomes a large pile of transparent crystals, and the thin layer can be seen clearly from a distance.

This scene is very amazing.

Even though there was a lot of smoke blocking the view, it was very surprising, and many people couldn't help but shout, "It looks like something new has been made!" ”

"Looks like a transparent mineral!"

"Look over there, in the middle, there's a piece that looks like a band...... Like an oversized diamond? ”

"I saw it, it really looked like ......"

Everyone became very excited, and even if they hadn't decided yet, they knew that there was a great discovery, and the coal mine had become a diamond......

Incredible!
