Black tech predators

Chapter 338 [Supermaterial]

Gu Cheng returned to Shangdu, and at the same time, on the other side of the earth, Lockheed Martin headquarters.

In one house, Vera Lopez was finishing her manuscript. It was only a matter of time before the success of the CFR project, and the birth of the fusion core.

Recently, she burst out with a brand-new idea, the idea of ​​a deadly weapon, and for this purpose, she squeezed out a third of her working time to study life engineering.

But it is not for the development of genetic weapons, but a new concept weapon of high-energy decay.

"You may not know how long we have carefully planned to meet you in private."

A sudden neutral female voice caused Vera Lopez, who was sitting at the desk, to turn around and look at the door of the room, and suddenly saw a tall woman in a security uniform carrying her on her back, with short blond hair, She turned around slowly after closing the door.

Glancing at Vera Lopez who said nothing, the mysterious woman went to make a cup of coffee by herself as if nothing had happened, as if this was her home.

"I thought it was the most advanced security system in the world, but compared with the security system of your old rival Tianqing Technology Group, I think the world's most advanced is a bit misleading."

After a while, a woman in a security uniform came to Vera Lopez with a cup of coffee and sat down on the table next to her.

"Before I leave, the signal cannot be sent out from this room. Don't worry little girl. I'm not here to violate you. I just want to come here to establish a long-term and reliable partnership with you."

Vera Lopez remained silent, only the woman who suddenly appeared in this room was talking to herself. She put down the coffee in her hand and took out a USB flash drive from it.

"Sorry, move a little bit."

Vera shifted her position, watching from the corner of her eyes as she plugged the USB drive into her personal computer.

"Let me show you the information we have spent countless efforts, time, money, manpower, and material resources to obtain. You have been communicating with a mysterious person code-named 'J' all these years. People who don't know think that the smartest person in the United States The person in question is an online dating girl, emmm... probably this is the power of thought."

Vera Lopez silently glanced at the screen. Her expression finally changed a little, but she quickly put it away. For the first time, she looked straight at the uninvited guest and said, "Russian?"

Hearing this, the mysterious woman pretended to be dissatisfied and complained: "Please~, don't blame the Russians for the first time. These years, the blame is second only to the Chinese. Don't you Americans always think that The Russians are the big villains in this world? It doesn’t matter who I am, what matters is what I have in my hands. Do you think that if the entire American people find that their idol has received major help from the enemy, the super genius they are proud of will actually What would you think if you were a traitor?"

Vera Lopez said calmly: "I did not treason."

The mysterious woman Luo Luo laughed and said: "I believe it, I completely believe it, because the more I understand, the more I feel like an orphan in this world, but...whether the people of the United States believe it or not, and whether the White House will believe it, I will decide." I can't guarantee it, and I can't even guarantee whether your father will believe it."

Speaking of this, she called up a picture on the computer screen, and Vera Lopez was finally moved. It was a photo of her and her father when she was young, and the taste of threat was self-evident.

After a while, Vera withdrew her gaze and stared at the other party, saying, "What do you want from me?"

"Knowledge. Well, it's just that when we encounter difficulties, you can help us with some interesting topics we are studying, and it won't take up too much of your time."

Vera said: "The smartest human being in the world is not here at Lockheed Martin, but at Tianqing Company. Why don't you go to that person?"

The other party replied casually: "I have tried, but all of them were killed without exception, so we can only pin our hopes on... you, in fact, you are not bad, we still have great confidence in you, don't we?" ?”

"I seem to have no choice."

"Everything is in the USB flash drive, remember to read it quietly. The coffee is good, goodbye, good night."

……

In Shangdu, another team of scientists from Tianqing Industrial R&D Center has been researching a "metamaterial".

When other projects continue to make breakthroughs and new technologies spring up like mushrooms after a spring rain, the "bionic exoskeleton portable equipment" that has allowed Tianqing Technology to grow rapidly and become famous seems to have stagnated for many years.

Since the birth of the second-generation exoskeleton power armor turned out to have shocked the world, products such as power armor out-of-vehicle suits that have been born since then are all improved models centering on the second-generation power armor.

The third generation technology has not been applied so far.

In fact, Gu Cheng did not ignore the upgrade of this individual equipment, but he did not focus on one technology wholeheartedly as in the early days of the company, and his plate became bigger. As the soul of the giant Tianqing Technology Group , it is impossible for him to focus on only one place, and more still needs the talents under his hands to help him with research.

The so-called "metamaterial" is the core technology of the third-generation Power Armor, a new type of nanomaterial.

"Boss, the 'metamaterial' has been successfully developed!" Zhou Huang ran to Gu Cheng's office to report with excitement.

"Success?"

Gu Cheng was relatively calm, and immediately got up and left the office, and went to the "Metamaterial" project laboratory with Zhou Huang.As soon as he arrived, Xiao Zhou immediately asked the researchers to arrange the display device.

The display device is not large, it is placed on an experimental table, and an energy field is provided by a light volume core.

The so-called "metamaterial" is actually a kind of nanomaterial with optical stealth ability. The core principle of its stealth method is to modify the surface refractive index of the material so that "light bypasses the blocking stone like a stream".

The "metamaterial" is to allow electromagnetic waves to bypass the invisible area and propagate in the original direction, thus making the object completely invisible. The performance of "metamaterials" is not determined by their chemical composition, but by their tiniest structure.

This also determines that the material must have a fine structure at the nanoscale, and it is the finest structure in human history. The process technology has reached a new level, which is even worse than carbyne alloys, and it is also doomed for this material. The production capacity cannot be mass-produced in the short term.

At this moment, a researcher in the laboratory is holding a pair of tweezers, holding an invisible diaphragm and walking towards the magnetic field device on the laboratory bench. It looks a bit funny, but he is very focused. If this thing is lost, he wants to find it Absolutely driving people crazy.

Because the existence form of the "metamaterial" itself cannot be directly observed by the naked eye, touching can feel its real existence, but non-contact observation needs to make it appear indirectly through a specific environment.

The researchers put the "metamaterial" on the magnetic field device on the test bench, and then activated the device.

At the same time, Zhou Huang took a whiteboard and filled it with straight black lines parallel to each other with a whiteboard marker, then flipped it [-] degrees, and filled it with straight black lines parallel to each other. A Go board is drawn.

Xiao Zhou came to the magnetic field device on the laboratory bench with a whiteboard in his hand, and he slowly raised the whiteboard behind the device, but when the black and white grids on the whiteboard were set off behind the magnetic field device, some small square grids appeared. Distorted deformation.

When the device is turned off, the partially distorted square grids return to their original shape.

This "metamaterial" is carefully designed according to the method of transformation optics. The optical properties of each space coordinate area of ​​it are different, just like the air layer in the desert that can produce mirages. Refract the propagation direction of the light, and then reverse the propagation direction of the light. When the light leaves the "metamaterial", its propagation direction is the same as the trajectory when it came.

And light does not lose any in this process, and it is precisely because of this that the ability of invisibility can be realized.
