I really just want to be a scholar

"Yeah. What a pity. I guess it won't be your and my turn to use it until the final tests are completed and the design is ready for use."

Qin Ke sighed with some envy. He was genuinely interested in scientific research, and as a boy, who didn't have a dream of "building a robot" or "building a mecha"?

This "silver mecha" was developed by Qin Ke based on the SS-level black technology knowledge "A complete series of humanoid life-support armor designs suitable for land, sea, air and collision prevention". It can be quickly worn when accidents occur on airplanes, ships, etc., and can fly away from the accident site.

Unfortunately, due to the limitations of real-world material technology and precision manufacturing technology, the current first generation can only be regarded as a relatively "backward and primitive" version. If we want to reach the technical level of the Iron Man suit in the movie, there is still a long way to go.

However, in some aspects, Qin Ke believes that the first-generation "Silver Armor" has surpassed the fifth-generation iron armor in the "Iron Man" movie. It uses specially customized micro-quantum chips and small lightweight nuclear fusion reactors, which can be said to be epoch-making in AI computing and energy supply.

Taking energy supply as an example, a nuclear fusion reactor the size of a cigarette box can probably keep the first-generation "Silver Mech" operating at full power for 15 days. It is truly a super invention that can be used to help important people escape and ensure survival when they are in distress.

Of course, if it is slightly modified and used in war, it can also be a first-class killer. In the end, he considered using Mr. Q's identity to remotely guide domestic research institutions to develop the "Silver Mecha". He also thought that the research results would eventually serve the national defense force. Moreover, the technology is relatively sensitive. Once people knew that it was developed under his guidance, it would also bring a lot of trouble.

Now he and Ning Qingjun's external image is that they are focused on academic research and teaching, and they rarely carry out scientific research and technological research themselves. The only thing that is relatively high-tech and known to outsiders is that they are the "Director of the Aerodynamics (Fluid Mechanics) Research Laboratory of Qingmu University" and concurrently serve as the "Chief Technical Consultant for Aerospace Engines."

Although aerospace is a sensitive field, which powerful country in the world would not make efforts in this direction? The identity of the chief consultant has become a good cover. After all, it is impossible for top scientists in fluid mechanics like the young couple not to participate in the country's key scientific research projects.

Without further ado, Qin Ke put his thoughts aside and carefully observed the data changes on the big screen as the "Silver Mecha" flew in the air and entered the pool.

The entire test experiment lasted about an hour and a half. The test was relatively successful, with about 90% of the values ​​being very close to those predicted by the large model. However, about 10% of the values ​​exceeded the "warning line", which means that there are still many details that need to be improved.

Qin Ke estimated that it would take at least half a year before the first generation of "Silver Mecha" could be put into use.

……

"That's it. This test is over. The overall effect is good. I will give you specific suggestions for improvement tomorrow. Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest first."

Mr. Q's affirmation and recognition made everyone present feel relieved, especially Mr. Zhou, whose tense face finally relaxed. He said excitedly, "Mr. Q, you've worked hard too!"

"You have worked hard too!" A group of staff and researchers also said respectfully in unison.

Although Mr. Q is mysterious, his skills are beyond reproach and his work efficiency is incredibly high. During the two years of R&D guidance, he has completely astounded all the scientific researchers present.

Chen Zegang and the other three also breathed a sigh of relief and used voice control to automatically release the status of the "Silver Mecha". However, they saw the silver armor all over the body automatically folded piece by piece, and finally turned back to the original suitcase shape.

Even though Chen Zegang had just worn this mecha and soared in the air, and had also dived into ten-meter-deep water, when he saw this scene, he still couldn't help but feel a sense of unreality as if he was in a science fiction world.

This is the level of our Xia country scientists!
When did our country's scientific research level surpass that of the United States and become the de facto "NO.1" among all countries in the world?
Chen Zegang didn’t know, but he knew that once this “Silver Mech” was officially put into production, it would definitely shock the entire world and become an important fulcrum for shifting the balance of power in the world!
……

Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun have many research projects, but most of them do not require them to do it themselves. They just guide others to conduct research and carry out experiments.

But when it comes to pure theory, they have to do it themselves, such as the grand unification of mathematics and the grand unification of physics.

Although Qin Ke now has the S-level knowledge "A New Program for the Grand Unification of Mathematical Theory" as a reward for the system's tasks, which contains the main ideas and theoretical basis of the grand unified mathematical program, Qin Ke still prefers to rely on his own efforts step by step to win the true holy grail of mathematics.

At that time, he will compare it with the S-level knowledge rewarded by the system to see whether the theory of grand unified mathematics researched by his team can surpass "A New Outline for the Grand Unification of Mathematical Theory".

For him, whose life has become extremely long, this is undoubtedly a very interesting and time-killing pure theoretical research.

The same is true for the grand unification of physics.

The main participants in the research of the grand unification of mathematics and physics, in addition to Ning Qingjun, include Tao Zhexuan, Elon Lindenstrauss, Academician Tian Jianlan, Professor Chen Licheng, Professor Thomson and other old friends. As for Andrew Wiles, Faltings, Edward Witten and Mr. Qiu, who are over 80 years old, they are too old to spend too much energy on research and did not participate. The time and energy he invested in these theoretical directions is very substantial, and new papers with major breakthroughs are published every year. This is the main reason why all countries believe that Qin Ke and Ning Qingjun's energy is in pure theory.

In fact, Qin Ke has also invested a lot of time and energy in two other pure theoretical directions, but he has not announced his progress or published papers. The first direction is naturally the biological theory research of "human aging gene research", in order to quickly understand the secrets of the S-level knowledge "Cracking the Code of Human Aging" and to use today's technology as much as possible to develop some practical health-prolonging exercises or drugs, vaccines, etc.

The second direction is to study the SS-level black technology knowledge "A complete series of ultra-high-speed spacecraft design drawings suitable for large-scale immigration" and improve the main theoretical framework.

This SS-level black technology knowledge provides design drawings and some necessary explanations, but there is very little theoretical content. Now Qin Ke wants to actually build it. Even if it is just a low-profile high-speed spacecraft, it is not an easy task. The missing or simplified theories must be thoroughly studied and improved into a theoretical system that conforms to the technological level of this era. Only in this way can the great dream of mankind to travel in space and realize interstellar immigration be truly realized.

This is a huge workload, involving gravity control and adaptation, propulsion systems, spacecraft materials, flying star avoidance, radiation defense, space planting (breeding) and other biological processes. Fortunately, his father-in-law Ning Zongxun and mother-in-law Ji Xiuyu's research over the years has provided a lot of experience for reference, and Qin Ke has SS-level black technology knowledge to guide him in the right direction. Over the years, he has only spent two or three hours a day on research, but has made a lot of progress.

Especially the "sleeping technology".

During a long interstellar voyage, the most difficult problem for people to solve is not food, clothing and shelter, but loneliness and fear. Even if there are a large number of people like them, the excitement of escaping from the earth's gravity and entering a state of weightlessness will fade, and facing the boundless dark universe, they will have an unconcealable fear. This fear will become more and more serious as time goes by, and may even cause people to become mentally ill.

In the early days of interstellar travel, especially before the "warp space" of relativity was effectively solved and applied, it took seven months to travel from the blue planet to Mars. Even if Qin Ke improved the propulsion system and compressed the journey to two months, it was still unsatisfactory - imagine how uncomfortable it would be to sit on a train for two months, in an unfamiliar weightless environment, and outside was an unpredictable dark abyss...

At this time, "sleeping technology" is the best solution, which allows people to fall into a deep sleep and wake up at their destination. For them, it is just a sleep. This is a complex technology involving biology, physics, genes, brain signals and other disciplines.

But Qin Ke had made a breakthrough half a year ago.

This "sleeping technology" is different from the "freezing technology". The "sleeping technology" allows people to enter a sleeping state in a "sleeping chamber", reducing the body's energy consumption, and maintaining the energy required by the human body through automatic eating of high-energy food and drinking of water, while the human consciousness enters the "quantum virtual space", making the body think that the consciousness is still awake and maintaining a healthy low-limit blood activity.

When consciousness enters the "quantum virtual space", it is like entering the rumored virtual game world, where people can kill time, study and entertain themselves, and no longer feel lonely or bored.

This "sleeping technology" can allow a normal person to "sleep" for up to 15 days. After waking up, they can engage in normal activities for about a day and then enter the "sleeping chamber" again without any impact on their health.

Because the technology is relatively mature and safe, Qin Ke has personally tested it several times, but the longest "sleeping" time is only about five days. There is no other way. The responsibility on him is too important. Being allowed to conduct such personal experiments is the result of his hard work.

In Qin Ke’s words, how can you know the actual effect of the technology if you don’t experience it yourself?
He spoke with certainty, but when Ning Qingjun proposed to experience it for "one day", he jumped up and shook his head, refusing to agree.

Are you kidding? No matter how safe the technology is, there is still a one in a billion chance of danger. Qin Ke doesn't want to let his beloved wife take this risk.

But Ning Qingjun finally convinced him, on the condition that the "sleeping" time was changed to "two hours". Qin Ke no longer objected to a mere two hours of "sleeping".

With such a short sleeping time, the probability of problems occurring is lower than being hit by a meteorite falling from the sky while walking on the street. Moreover, even if a problem occurs, the person can be forced to wake up. At most, the person will only experience discomfort such as nausea and vomiting, which will not really endanger his health.

Qin Ke has such confidence in his research results.

So on the third day after the test of the "Silver Mecha", which happened to be the weekend, Ning Qingjun curiously lay down in the "sleeping chamber", and Qin Ke personally escorted her by her side, and would force her to wake up if anything was wrong.

The "sleeping chamber" is a bit like an eggshell that has been split in the middle. Ning Qingjun entered and lay down in it. With curiosity about the scientific research experiment and excitement for verification, he started the system.

Soon, she fell into a "deep sleep" state.

……

"Hey, where is this..." When Ning Qingjun opened her eyes again, she unexpectedly found that she was not in the "virtual city space" that had been defined long ago, but in an office that was familiar yet unfamiliar. Standing opposite her was Wei Wenping, a high school teacher who was less than 30 years old! (End of this chapter)
