Beneath Deep Space

This time's material release conference is not like the previous one, which only circulates in a small circle in a certain field, but is open to all scientists and even all the public!

New materials with reliable performance that have been tested in large quantities for a long time have finally been demonstrated one by one.

As a basic science, materials science is used in too many places. Whether it is machinery manufacturing, weapons manufacturing or aerospace engineering, it must be supported by materials with sufficient performance. The materials on the earth in the past alone are no longer enough to support various cutting-edge machines with increasingly higher requirements.

All in all, this material launch is also particularly exciting!

"We should pay more attention to this." Yu Yifeng murmured to himself.

Some new materials are already known to Yu Yifeng, but ordinary people do not. This press conference is for the entire civilization, and the purpose is to let everyone know the current progress of materials science.

The press conference was broadcast by the Propaganda Department, and everyone on board the Noah could watch the press conference on TV. Of course, people can also visit the venue in person...

"Dear viewers, as you can see, the postcard-sized silver-white substance in my hand is a piece of radiation-proof organic metal. Its radiation-proof ability is more than 13 times that of a lead plate of the same volume, and it has a very Excellent performance: extremely soft, light and even foldable..."

"In fact, part of our radiation shield against supernovae uses this new material. Its molecular structure is derived from the capsid of the Martian virus..."

The narrator is a beautiful senior reporter and broadcaster who once reported on the entire fight against the Mars virus.

In order to introduce these new materials, she also spent a lot of effort in advance.

"Okay, everyone watching this show... we all know that the universe may be full of dangers: low temperature, radiation, and lack of oxygen can all cause fatal harm to the human body. The emergence of this radiation-proof metal makes up for the previous history of materials. The cost is not high, and it can even be mass-produced.”

"The emergence of this material also means that we can make lighter and cheaper space suits, which can bring a safer experimental environment to various nuclear laboratories..."

"Here, we invite our guest Dr. Lang Yifei, the inventor of a new type of radiation-proof organic metal, to explain to us the harm of "radiation" to humans..."

Yu Yifeng also visited the entire exhibition hall accompanied by several acquaintances, nodding constantly.

Xu Yunjin, Zhao Yao and others looked around excitedly. They were not scientists, but they also felt a "scientific" atmosphere.

"The new radiation-proof material is indeed good, but it is not the most outstanding work in the entire exhibition." Dr. Rimbaud said with some pride.

The most outstanding ones are a set of metal materials called "Superalloy Series" and a... new type of high-temperature superconducting material!

These two are truly transcendent masterpieces and are the protagonists of this material conference.

"Superalloy series", as a material series, is of course not one type, but seventeen types!

This series was completed by more than sixty scientists, and Rimbaud was one of them. No wonder he was so proud.

Yu Yifeng stopped in front of the display stand of the super alloy series. Many scientists and a large number of engineers have gathered here. The emergence of new materials has greatly improved various engineering projects. Even the Kinov industrial plant has to be slowly upgraded to achieve higher production capacity.

Seeing a series of parameters on the form, Yu Yifeng couldn't help but nodded secretly.

"This is Super Alloy α, which is essentially a hafnium alloy with the molecular structure formula ***. We developed it after being inspired by flying saucer materials. Its melting point is very high, estimated to be above 8400 degrees! Most of the thermal power stations below It’s also built from this metal.”

"Its strength is also good, about three times that of special steel, and it is very corrosion-resistant..."

Dr. Rimbaud asked Yu Yifeng to clarify his doubts. As one of the inventors of this series, he knew the superalloy series well.

When he heard these words, Zhao Yao looked up in surprise and asked: "Why is it only 8400 degrees? Is this melting point very high? Isn't the magma below said to be tens of thousands of degrees? Isn't the supernova hundreds of millions of degrees? Our Noah How did you get the number down?"

Zhao Yao's words were like a basin of cold water, and Lan Bo was immediately stuck. His face was flushed, and he didn't know what to say next...

But Yu Yifeng said without raising his head: "More than eight thousand degrees is already high enough. You must know that the materials we used in the past can only withstand temperatures of three to four thousand degrees at most. Now it has more than doubled. You Not enough? Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand.”

"Oh..." Zhao Yao scratched his head, not embarrassed anyway. He has been criticized a lot, and he is very thick-skinned.

Rimbaud scratched his head and then introduced the next one:

"This is super alloy β. It is characterized by being very light and strong enough. The main metal elements are titanium and lithium. At the same volume, its mass is only one-third of that of traditional aluminum alloys. So this super alloy Alloys are good materials for building space vehicles..."

Hearing this, Xu Yunjin also became interested. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he took the piece of black metal and bumped it in his hand. It was indeed very light. "Is it strong enough? It's light and feels a little weak..."

"This super alloy... is not only lighter than aluminum alloy, but its strength is about the same as special steel." Dr. Rimbaud said this and became a little proud again.

Wang Yufan behind him just sighed: "If it were placed on the earth, this patent would be worth hundreds of millions, right? If the previous Boeing 773 had to use this material..."

"A few hundred million is probably not enough. Think about it. How much fuel and expenses can be saved if all planes use this material?"

"The main cost of an airplane is fuel..."

While everyone was discussing economic issues, Yu Yifeng was thinking about other things.

This kind of metal can be said to be tailor-made for aircraft. I don’t know what is going on with the research on small space shuttles? It stands to reason that the progress should be good. After all, humans have also obtained the drones of the Green Light Civilization as a reference...

However, based on the current situation, even if the research is completed, it is impossible to go outside the Noah and conduct a test flight. This work can only be delayed...

When Yu Yifeng was thinking about something, Dr. Rimbaud began to introduce the next super alloy, "This is a super alloy with very good ductility. You can pull it apart like flour, but it will not break... "

Introduced one by one, there are a total of seventeen kinds of superalloy materials: some with high melting point, some with low density, some with good ductility, and some with extremely hardness... They have different properties, but their overall performance is far better than before. Old materials can be said to cover all walks of life in industry.

Whenever you need it, you can always find the right one. So a large group of engineers are also picking and choosing, spitting out professional terms, and they are really excited.

Yu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh that the emergence of this batch of "superalloy" materials really brings too many possibilities. The subject of materials science develops too slowly, and it can even be said to rely a bit on luck. Inventing a new material with excellent performance is very difficult just by relying on theoretical knowledge. Sometimes it also depends on luck, which is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack... …

However, so many excellent new materials have emerged one after another, which are not only inspired by alien creations, but also the result of the efforts of human scientists themselves.

Thanks to my friends for the tips, thank you!

That’s it for today’s update, good night my friends.
