Open the era of black technology

Chapter 421 Invitation

"Based on what you're saying, this kind of alloy steel is worthless, and it's hard to use because it breaks if you drop it." Xu Pingan looked at Barry and said directly.

"Boss, this is only the current result. The direction is in place. We should be able to make a breakthrough in the subsequent experiments. According to speculation, the service life of spacecraft produced using super alloy steel can be increased by two to three times in space."

"Once we make a breakthrough, mankind will take an important step towards space," Barry said with a serious expression, and Xu Ping'an nodded with a smile.

"Keep the normal research speed, don't rush to let this product break through for now." Xu Pingan said directly, Barry was completely stunned, and looked at Xu Pingan with a puzzled expression.

"Barry, carefully analyze the international situation. The current international situation is very dangerous. Once we break through at this time, this super alloy steel will definitely be used on spacecraft."

"However, the greater possibility is that these spacecraft carry destructive weapons. We must be cautious and increase our research efforts when the international situation changes." Xu Pingan explained slightly, Barry said: understand what's going on.

Some practices of the United States can be said to be opposed by the whole world, but people all over the world can't do anything about it. The military power of the United States is too strong, and now the military power of the earth has lost its balance.

Another one is that the military expenditure of the United States has been rising year after year. Obviously, the United States intends to maintain its dominance, and the focus is not on human development at all.

This is not a good signal. Once some countries are forced to take it no longer, a nuclear war is likely to break out. At that time, whether human beings can survive is a question.

"I understand, I will control the progress." Barry took a deep breath and said directly, understanding Xu Ping'an's worries. People in the scientific community are also worried about the performance of the United States. How could Barry be an exception.

After chatting with Xu Pingan for a while, Barry left. Xu Pingan sent Barry to take a shower and went to rest. He was really tired from flying. If he hadn’t planned to build one, he would have bought an airplane a long time ago.

The next day, Xu Ping'an went directly to the research institute to inspect, and Xu Ping'an was really surprised that Giles, a stubborn old man, joined forces with Peggy.

Giles' goal was to create a cheap aerospace material, and Peggy's goal was to create a super steel that could resist corrosion in space. The price of iron was undoubtedly very low, which was very much in line with Giles' goal.

And a failed project that Peggy just completed proved that the low-cost super alloy steel fully meets the goals of the two. The two old men communicated with each other once, and the two teams were directly merged into one team, and they were fully committed to developing alloy steel.

In front of Xu Ping'an, the two directly handed Barry an experimental plan with a budget of one billion euros. Barry knew what Xu Ping'an meant, and the flesh on his face was twitching when he looked at the plan in his hand.

Xu Ping patted Barry on the shoulder, and Barry accepted the plan, bluntly saying that it needs to be reviewed, and he will reply to the two in a few days.

Four different experiments were carried out at the same time, which shows how much enthusiasm the two put into. Creation, this word has an incomparable temptation for scientists. Money and salary are not very important, and the only goal is to complete their own creation.

Nilun also came back and continued to work, conducting research on the second generation of carbon crystal solar panels. Four members of the original team have joined other project teams, and the current team is reorganized.

Niron has been on a global lecture tour for a year, and those researchers can't wait for a year. Anyway, they don't leave Tianqi Group. They are still in the same research institute and directly participate in other project teams.

Only one person named Lamud submitted a research application report. The new carbon crystal project was approved by Barry after review, and the research was carried out independently. Barry accompanied four assistants.

Diamond is a solid carbon material, which becomes a diamond when it is processed into a gemstone. Synthetic diamond technology has become very common. Lamud's project is to synthesize a synthetic carbon crystal that is more than three times harder than natural diamond.

The focus of this synthetic carbon crystal is on the use of optics, specifically laser weapons. At present, there is no huge development of laser weapons in the world because of the limitation of materials. Lamud's research is to change this situation.

If it really succeeds, laser guns and laser cannons in sci-fi movies are no longer a dream, and it is entirely possible to realize it. Barry carefully reviewed Lamud's background and approved it without any problems.

Lamoud holds a German passport and was born in Syria. Before the country’s civil war, his family immigrated to Germany. He has a doctorate in optical materials from the University of Dresden and is a disciple of Neilon.

The Apocalypse Institute of Advanced Materials was established. When Nilun joined the institute, he also brought Lamud into the institute. In Nilun's words, Lamud is a very talented student.

Barry was able to approve Lamud's plan because of Neil's words. Otherwise, Barry would not have dared to approve this plan. This plan is very expensive.

The success of the carbon crystal solar panels has brought great prestige to Neil, and has also changed Neil's way of doing things. He has changed from a thorny professor who was disobedient to everyone into a very gregarious scientist. This change makes everyone who knows Neil people are surprised.

However, everyone is more willing to see this kind of change in Nilun. Apart from other things, Nilun wrote 39 recommendation letters for his students, allowing these students to successfully join many famous research institutes.

Without exception, these students must be grateful to Nilun, and they all posted articles on the media that Nilun is a highly respected and good mentor, which added a lot of prestige to Nilun.

Once these students have grown up in major research institutes in the future, Niron will have more prestige in the scientific community. Not only that, but at the University of Dresden, Niron also lowered his profile and admitted his previous mistakes and a few different students. Deal with the professor together.

With Neilon's status today, admitting his mistakes has already given his opponent enough face, and it is meaningless to continue fighting. In the words of Neilon's heart, he is no longer a person in the same world as them today. Need to be angry.

At noon, Xu Pingan had a drink with several old researchers including Barry, Neilon, and Polis. They didn't drink less, and went to rest in the afternoon. No one had any objections.

Xu Ping'an is also happy today. Many projects in the research institute have made great progress. It is expected that at the end of this year, there will be a peak period of achievements.

Early the next morning, Barry arrived at the hotel where Xu Ping'an was staying, and the two drank tea in the living room, "Boss, the funds handed over to our research institute this year are estimated to be reduced a lot."

"What's the reason?" Xu Pingan asked after taking a sip of tea.

"A lot of equipment needs to be replaced, and the price is expensive. It is estimated that it will cost about [-] million euros." Barry pouted and said, Xu Pingan also smiled wryly.

"It's been a few years, and it's time for a replacement. Has the new generation of products improved significantly?" Xu Ping'an asked directly.

"Yes, many of them have been greatly improved, with higher accuracy, and various configurations have been doubled," Barry said directly.

"Change it. Pippen in Austria also plans to replace a batch of research equipment, as well as the Institute of Renewable Resources in the UK and the Comprehensive Research Institute of China. They all need to replace equipment."

"Don't forget to sell the old equipment for a good price," Xu Ping'an said with a smile.

"Boss, this is for sure. Our current equipment is high-end for many countries, much better than the equipment of their own research institutes."

"Others, I'm not sure. If the equipment of the Chinese Institute is for sale, I believe that many of the Chinese Institutes will rush to get it. Our equipment is the most expensive here, and countries like India are also rushing to get it." Barry is very sure. Said.

Xu Ping'an nodded, acknowledging this point. The reason why Tianqi Group's research institute can achieve many breakthroughs is that the world's top experimental equipment has contributed a lot, and we all know this.

In terms of the simplest test tube centrifuge equipment, the centrifuge of the Apocalypse Research Institute has the highest speed and separation factor, and the price is ten times that of ordinary centrifuges. The result is that the accuracy rate is 20.00% higher than that of ordinary centrifuges.

A new result can be born with a slight difference, which is the benefit of advanced equipment. Unfortunately, this advanced equipment has many restrictions, and it is not something you can buy if you want to buy it.

Apocalypse Group has been secretly warned many times when it purchased equipment, and you are only allowed to use it yourself. If you find out that you have given experimental equipment to other research institutes, the supply will be cut off directly.

Apocalypse Group can handle old equipment that has been used for more than three years by itself, because the high-precision experimental equipment is basically at the half-cost stage after running for about three years, and the data has a certain deviation, and its value has dropped sharply.

It is very difficult for you to carry out high-tech project research when it is circulated at this time. This is also the root cause of the high cost of the research institute. Research equipment is really expensive.

If the equipment prices of several major research institutes of the Apocalypse Group are added up, it will exceed 100 billion euros, which is a standard that many national research institutes cannot meet.

"It seems that this year, not only your side has to pay less fees, but other research institutes are no exception. Austria needs more than 6 million euros, and the equipment replacement budget submitted by British Gilbert is as high as 12 billion euros."

"Chen Fansheng hasn't figured it out yet. It can be expected that the cost will not be lower than that of the British side. The total cost is estimated to be around 50 billion euros."

"To be honest, I feel pain when I think about it." Xu Ping'an said with a bitter face, and Barry also smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

The two drank tea and discussed the follow-up development of the institute. At the same time, they also communicated about the progress of some projects, those that can increase the research and development efforts, and those that need to control the speed of research and development. They all had detailed conversations.

In Marseille, France, Thompson, the group who came to invite Antonio, breathed a long sigh of relief in the hotel. Antonio finally came back. When the group arrived in Marseille, Antonio went on vacation with his girlfriend.

Antonio's current name is Gardner, and the people around him don't know that Gardner is the Antonio who has the title of "Human Nuclear Bomb". He is very well concealed and has lived in the local area for seven years.

Gardner and his girlfriend Geli came to rest for a day. After Geli drove out that day, Thompson led someone to press the doorbell of Gardner's house, and soon the door was opened.
