Chapter Seventy-Five: What kind of team is it?

The graphene composites on the official website of Wakaba were quickly sold out.

This matrix research institute, which has shocked everyone since its inception, has once again experienced everyone in the research of new materials, and the scenarios in which graphene composite materials can be applied are too wide, whether it is in the field of industry or aerospace science and technology, this high-strength lightweight polymer material can play an unimaginable role in the right position.

Inside a secret military research institute in Boston.

The institute mainly researches materials related to military equipment, and the special types of steel developed by it have been widely used in the production of various military equipment due to their low price, high production and high strength, which also gives them the right to cooperate directly with the military.

The institute is currently working on the technology of a supersonic fighter, often referred to as a sixth-generation fighter.

The military requires them that the flight speed of the fighter must reach Mach 15, and at this speed there will be violent friction between the fuselage of the fighter and the air, which puts forward higher requirements for the materials used in the manufacture of the fighter, and the conventional special type of steel is almost completely unable to be applied to the sixth generation fighter.

At present, the researchers are troubled by the choice of materials, if in order to ensure the safety of the fighter fuselage, then it is inevitable to use a large number of ceramic materials, the current mainstream materials only high hardness ceramics can withstand the high temperature caused by severe friction, and good thermal insulation effect can prevent the pilot from being melted by the high temperature of the cabin.

However, ceramics also have their own limitations, high hardness ceramics can not well avoid the vibration of the fuselage because of the flight, excessive vibration will cause cracks in the ceramic parts of the fuselage, which is undoubtedly fatal when the fighter performs the mission.

And now, the Matrix Institute has provided them with a new idea: graphene composites.

The graphene composite material purchased on the Wakaba resource information network was quickly mailed, and a small silver-gray board cost the institute almost $30 million in budget funds, but no one felt that the deal was not cost-effective, because it was an order that they bought with the computing power of a supercomputer and using artificial intelligence to squat on the official website 24 hours a day.

Boston's research equipment is very comprehensive, and the head of the research institute carefully put the silver-gray board into the testing equipment.

"Noor, you are responsible for recording the detection data of the graphene composite panel, Maggie, you will immediately upload the feedback data of the instrument to the construction model of the sixth-generation fighter, and we will immediately come over to analyze the application scenarios of this material in the construction of the sixth-generation fighter after testing the properties of this material."

Standing next to the person in charge of the research institute, a man in a white coat nodded solemnly, and another blonde woman quickly opened the research institute's database on the construction of the sixth generation fighter, and only waited for the instrument to analyze the graphene composite material before importing the data.

The half-human-tall large instrument soon tested the graphene composite, which was only the size of a palm inside, and the dense data about the graphene composite material was also fed back to the computer screen.

Noel looked at the data on the computer screen and shouted to the head of the institute with a look of disbelief: "Bailey, come and see!" ”

"Why is the thermal conductivity of this material so strange? The thermal conductivity is 98.8734% when radiated from one side to the other side, and 0.0075% when radiated from the other side to this side. ”

Maggie on the side also exclaimed: "Not only is the thermal conductivity abnormal, but also the reflection cross section of this thing on the radar, the reflection cross section of the radar on both sides is almost completely different, the reflection cross section on one side reaches 99.9897%, but the reflection cross section on one side is almost zero, only 0.0087%. ”

"Oh my god, why is this thing so strong? The instrument has applied more than 3,000 tons of pressure, and after magnifying 1,000 times the microscope, there is no deformation. ”

"And corrosion resistance, this thing has not been damaged in the slightest under the erosion of strong sulfuric acid."

"Maggie, how is the temperature test, how high can this thing withstand the scorch?"

"It's being tested, and the temperature has been raised to 3,000 degrees Celsius, and there is no sign of melting in this thing, and it's 4,000 degrees, and the surface layer of the graphene composite has softened slightly, but it's still far from the melting point."

"You two bastards, stop, do you want to burn this thing? It's worth $30 million, and if you burn it to the ground, you're going to find a way to get a piece of the same thing!" Bailey, the head of the institute, was furious when he heard that Maggie was using a high temperature of more than 4,000 degrees Celsius to burn the graphene composite material he had worked so hard to buy.

However, Maggie didn't seem to hear him, and still controlled the detection instrument to burn the graphene composite at a high temperature, and even raised the temperature to 5000 degrees.

After the temperature rises to 5000 degrees, the surface layer of the graphene composite material begins to slowly soften, and there are already signs of gradual melting.

Seeing this change in the graphene composite material, Maggie hurriedly controlled the detection instrument to stop heating up, and slowly lowered the temperature of the instrument.

"Bailey, unbelievable, really unbelievable, this thing can withstand a temperature of nearly 5,000 degrees, which is close to the temperature of the sun's surface." Maggie said with excitement on her face.

Bailey gave Maggie a look of anger and continued to manipulate the laboratory equipment to test graphene composites for electromagnetic waves and other microwave radiation.

After more than three hours of continuous testing, the conventional properties of graphene composites have been tested by all the instruments of the institute.

Next, they will bring the data about the graphene composite material into the construction model of the sixth-generation fighter to see where the new material can be replaced.

The model for the construction of the sixth-generation fighter is controlled by an artificial intelligence that has been trained by the institute at a great cost of manpower, material and financial resources, and is jointly trained by the computing power of three supercomputers, which not only inputs historical information about the construction of all fighters in their research, but also cites a large amount of data from military partners.

At present, this artificial intelligence has been the main tool used by the research institute to build a fighter model, as long as the data of relevant materials is transmitted into it, the artificial intelligence will arrange the data according to the historical construction model until the fighter model that meets the requirements is built.

"Now it's up to Jarvis." Bailey input all the data of the graphene composite material to the terminal of the artificial intelligence, gently patted the smooth glass surface of the terminal, and said to himself.

Jarvis is Bailey's name for the AI, which has now become an important partner in the work of the institute, and having a catchy name will make all the researchers feel familiar.

In the era of no artificial intelligence, it takes weeks or even longer to build a model of a new fighter every time, and it requires close cooperation from all the personnel of the institute, and each modification of the model requires the original model to be overturned again, a process that may last half a year or even longer.

Since the trained AI, the construction of fighter models has become easier than ever, in the case of a clear enough data structure, it only takes half an hour or even less, the AI can build the model they want according to the needs of the researcher's input, and the model changes are faster, only need to adjust the corresponding parameters can be completed quickly.

If it took years or even decades to upgrade a fighter jet in the past, it may only take a few weeks to upgrade a fighter jet of one type, which is the efficiency increase brought about by the change of tools.

The AI quickly produced a model of a sixth-generation fighter fused with graphene composites, and when all the parameters were in front of the researchers' eyes, the results were beyond everyone's expectations.

"What's going on? A fighter combined with new materials shouldn't be so weak, right? It's not even a regular bomber, and the flight speed is too low! Bailey looked at the fighter model in front of him, puzzled.

"Jarvis, do a fighter test flight demonstration!" Bailey commanded.

Soon a sixth-generation fighter was displayed on the screen, and as the animation began, several people from the institute quickly noticed that something was wrong, and when the fighter rose into the air faster than the speed of sound, the fuselage quickly caught fire.

"No, there must be something wrong, Jarvis, what is the proportion of graphene composite materials used in the sixth generation fighter?" Bailey hurriedly asked.

The electronic screen showed that less than 1 percent of the new material was applied to a component in the fighter's belly, where the fighter caught fire.

"I see, I see, we don't set the direction of installation of new materials! In Jarvis's database, it has never encountered such a material with different properties in different directions, and it has chosen to discard this material because it cannot discern the direction, but under the rules we set, it can only place a small piece. Knoll shouted excitedly.

From the test data just now, it can be found that the properties of the two sides of the graphene composite material are completely different, one side is absolute heat insulation, one side is absolute heat conduction, one side is completely stealthy to radar, and the other side is completely unable to stealth radar.

Knorr's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard, and rows of code instructions were quickly edited into Jarvis's program.

Dozens of minutes later, a brand new model of the sixth-generation fighter appeared in everyone's sight, and this time, the parameters of the new fighter blinded everyone's eyes.

The conventional speed of Mach 15, the ultimate speed of Mach 25, the combat radius of the fifth-generation fighter thirty times, the weight of the fuselage of less than three tons, the weight of the carrier of more than twenty tons, completely stealth to radar.

"God, what kind of aerial monster have we constructed!" Maggie muttered as she looked at the demo animation on the screen.

Under the animation simulation of artificial intelligence, it only takes ten minutes for a sixth-generation fighter to solve two hundred fifth-generation fighters, and even one and a half take-off times are included in the process.

Bailey's gaze was deep, and he glanced at Noll, who was also shocked.

"It's not what kind of aerial monster we have constructed, but what kind of incredible material has been developed by the Matrix Science Research Institute!"

Before the application of graphene composites, the fighter they built in research was powerful, but it was far from being able to completely crush the fifth-generation fighter, but now it is different, the newly built sixth-generation fighter is no longer crushing the fifth-generation fighter.

It was a complete slaughter!

"What kind of team is it?"
