Interstellar Industrial Age

"My boss, what wind brought you here"

Xinghan National Institute of Materials Science, when Ren Qing saw Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang, he also smiled and asked.

Materials science is the foundation of all disciplines and is a very important discipline. However, Qin Yi has rarely visited the Institute of Materials Science. This also makes Ren Qing very dissatisfied. side doesn't matter.

Of course, it's not that Qin Yi doesn't pay attention to it. On the contrary, Qin Yi has always attached great importance to materials research.

The reason why there are less people going is the initial materials science research, which is actually a process of continuous accumulation. In simple and popular terms, it means to keep pouring money into it, so that scientists continue to experiment and study various materials. , such as alloy materials.

This requires a huge amount of money to be poured into, allowing scientists to continuously experiment with various ratios, and then develop a variety of new materials.

What this requires is constant investment and experimentation. There is not much technology, and there is no too profound theory. Unlike other research institutes, Qin Yi needs to visit, shop around, and give pointers. This enables rapid progress and rapid development.

Therefore, Qin Yi rarely comes to the Institute of Materials Science, but this does not mean that Qin Yi does not pay attention.

However, in Ren Qing's view, Qin Yi didn't pay much attention to it. In other research institutes and research disciplines, Qin Yi would go around every three days, take a look, and give some opinions.

Therefore, the results are constantly emerging, and many newcomers are constantly emerging, rising slowly, and becoming the new emerging in the Xinghan scientific community.

On the other hand, the Institute of Materials Science is like a backwater. It seems to be calm. There are neither special achievements nor outstanding talents emerging, which makes Ren Qing, the person in charge here, very dissatisfied.

Especially sometimes when everyone is in a meeting, Lu Qingwei, a big-tailed wolf, as long as he has some achievements, he will blow it to the sky. When the research institutes are ranked first, the Institute of Materials Science is always at the bottom. what.

"It's been a while, so come and see"

Qin Yi touched his nose and said, now only Ren Qing is still calling him the boss.

"I haven't been here for a long time. My boss, you haven't been here for many years. I've already forgotten about our Institute of Materials Science."

Ren Qing glanced at Qin Yi, making Qin Yi even more embarrassed, while Liu Peiqiang, who was on the side, held back his smile.

Among the earliest scientists of Galaxy Science and Technology Group, there are very few female scientists, and only Ren Qing is famous. She has a special status.

Whether it was looking for him as the person in charge or Qin Yi as the big boss, when they asked for money and people, they were very confident, so that neither of them could do anything. Even if a part of the budget was exceeded, it would still be approved.

Of course, under her leadership, the Institute of Materials Science,

It is also booming, and various new materials emerge in an endless stream. On the one hand, it meets the needs of scientific development, and on the other hand, it has accumulated and cultivated a huge material science research team.

You must know that on Earth, Huaxia's technology is good in all aspects, except in the field of materials science, which seriously restricts the development of high-precision fields.

For example, aero-engines, in fact, everyone knows the technical principles, there is no esoteric theory at all, but the manufactured engines are very different.

A good engine thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 1:10, that is, a ton of engine can exert 10 tons of thrust. In addition to its own weight, the remaining 9 tons can be given to the aircraft.

The poor engine has a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 1:5, which can give the aircraft very poor thrust, and its lifespan is also worrying. Advanced engines can fly for thousands of hours. to go wrong.

The key and core of it is none other than the material.

The gap in the field of basic materials has led to a huge gap in this cutting-edge field. From here, we can know the importance of materials science, which can be said to be the foundation of almost all scientific fields, and this foundation naturally determines the height of the superstructure.

For this piece, Qin Yi has been willing to spend money since the age of Galaxy Technology Group. If he does not lay a solid foundation, his future development will be restricted in many aspects. This is not what Qin Yi wants.

It is not only necessary to develop a variety of materials, but more importantly, to cultivate a large team of materials science research, and to apply many technologies and new materials in materials science to social and economic development. It's a solid foundation.

"Tell me, what do you want to see today?"

Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to visit the Institute of Materials Science, asking questions as they walked.

"Look at the research on degenerate materials."

Qin Yi thought about it and said.

General materials, Qin Yi is not in the mood to look at it now. The most important thing is to see the research situation of degenerate materials, which is the most important.

"I knew that you must have come here to ask about degenerate materials."

Ren Qing seemed to have already anticipated the purpose of Qin Yi's visit, and brought the two directly to the Degenerate Materials Research Center.

The Degenerate Materials Research Center is the latest research center established by the Institute of Materials Science, but it is the most important research center of the entire Institute of Materials Science, and it is also the focus of many scientists' research now.

"Degenerate materials are really difficult, and we still have no substantial progress."

When he came to the Degenerate Materials Research Center, Ren Qing also said with a sigh.

As a master scientist in the field of materials science, she knows too well how difficult it is to achieve degenerate materials. Although scientists can now move atoms to form a new atomic layer on the surface of the material, the atomic layer is only a flat structure. , is not a degenerate material.

And more importantly, this is only an operation performed in the laboratory, and it cannot be used on a large scale, because the speed of moving atoms one by one is too slow, and the atoms are too small.

If nothing else, it's just an area the size of a fingernail, and I don't know how many atoms need to be moved. This efficiency is too slow and has no substantial meaning.

What's more, the real degenerate materials still have to arrange and build atoms from a three-dimensional perspective, which is even more difficult.

The road to degenerate materials is a long way to go.

"What are your thoughts?"

After Qin Yi heard this, he nodded slightly, then thought about it and asked.

"At present, we mainly have three ideas to create degenerate materials. One is to use high temperature and high pressure. We simulate the strong pressure and terrible high temperature inside the planet, and use this method to create degenerate materials."

"This is also our reference to the process of diamond formation. This diamond is formed in the high temperature and high pressure environment inside the interstellar space, so we think this idea may also be feasible."

"Another idea is to use a strong magnetic field to make degenerate materials, which is inspired by Jupiter's strong magnetic field that can tear stars apart. We think that as long as the magnetic field is strong enough, we can use it to form degenerate materials. "

"The last idea is that we use gravity technology to create degenerate materials, which are actually similar to neutron stars, and they are all materials created from the perspective of atoms."

"We all know that the formation of this neutron star is formed by the collapse of the end of the massive star, so we thought about using strong gravity to compress the material to form a degenerate material."

"But this also failed. The gravity generation device we made is getting stronger and stronger, but it is still unable to make degenerate materials."

Ren Qing thought for a while and slowly spoke out the three research ideas of the current degenerate materials research center.

In the manufacture of degenerate materials, the first thing that needs to be broken is the theory. Without strong theoretical support, there is no research direction. Scientists are now like headless flies, constantly experimenting with each method, but every time Neither road will work.

No matter what you do, there is still no way to make a degenerate material.

"Go, take a detailed look at the progress of your three research ideas."

Qin Yi immediately became interested when he heard it.

Regarding degenerate materials, there is naturally a very detailed content in the science and technology tower. There are naturally also manufacturing methods for degenerate materials. There are many methods, such as space compression, gravity compression, magnetic field compression, etc. Many methods are Very tall.

Among the three methods mentioned by Ren Qing, the method and idea of ​​using magnetic field and gravity to create degenerate materials are actually very good. As long as the right way is found, it is still possible to manufacture degenerate materials.

As for this space compression method to create degenerate materials, it is not realistic at present. This is a means of advanced cosmic civilization, and it requires extremely powerful research on space technology.

Soon, Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to the laboratories, and listened to the scientists' research situation and research progress in detail, and understood the current situation.

"Why haven't you thought about concentrating and constraining this magnetic field or gravity? It's like light. The power of a beam of light is naturally limited, but if countless rays of light are gathered and constrained and concentrated on a single point, Its power is naturally incomparable."

"Either magnetic field or gravity, why don't we try to constrain and concentrate it?"

After figuring out the research situation and progress, Qin Yi thought about it and put forward his own suggestions.
