Epoch of Twilight

At one o'clock in the afternoon, in the magnetic shaping experiment area, Cui Weichuan was wearing a protective suit and two assistants to perform a final test on a smart magnetic shaper.

Magnetic Shaper This is a device for metal shaping that does not require any forging or casting, but directly shapes the metal with magnetic force.

Compared with the traditional forging, the advantage of magnetic shape forging is that the precision is extremely high, no complicated debugging and maintenance of the production line is required, and the integral molding does not cause any burrs in the middle, and the surface is uneven, and one can be produced. Direct use, it is thousands of times more efficient than traditional forging, and is now widely used in industrial production.

The project that Cui Weichuan is studying now is to go further and form the final product directly with magnetic plastic.

This is the inspiration of Cui Weichuan in 3D printing. 3D printing was once a hot term before the end of the world, but these years have not been much development, almost eliminated, whether it is Bolivia or human, 3D technology in the industry There are few applications.

The reason is that on the one hand, 3D printing and magnetic shaping have no obvious advantages compared to magnetic shaping. The ease of use of magnetic shaping completely suppresses and replaces the development of 3D technology.

On the other hand, this technology has unsolvable defects, the strength of the finished product is not enough, and the microstructure of the finished product will inevitably have small voids, which will affect the structural strength of the material.

However, this concept still has merits. Today, this type of shaper is borrowed from the concept of 3D.

“Is the product drawing data already entered?” asked Cui Weichuan. His voice was a little hoarse, and since he started the project, he has been in the lab for two months, but now it is almost at the end.

"I have just entered it!" An assistant replied quickly, but still checked it carefully. As a researcher, carefulness is a necessary quality.

"Then start the machine!" Cui Weichuan ordered,

Another assistant quickly turned on the front switch, and with the influx of strong current, the magnetic shaper suddenly made a loud bang.

The whole machine is not big, it is small table size, but the power consumption is amazing. If the power supply of a tens of thousands of industrial towns before the end of the world is estimated, it is impossible to start it. After all, the critical metal atoms are densely arranged. Not so well shaped.

But this kind of power consumption can only be considered drizzy in this era.

In the laboratory where Guang Cui Weichuan is located, the monthly electricity consumption has exceeded 10 billion degrees in the last month. As for the giant factory that built the battleship, it can consume every day, and the electricity consumption of China for several years before the end of the world.

"The magnetic output is stable!"

“Material softening time is within the design range!”

"The machine is noisy!"

"The program runs smoothly!"

......

The assistant tested the operation of the machine. Cui Weichuan nodded with satisfaction and looked through the high-intensity radiation-proof glass of the machine to see the internal metal changes.

I saw that the whole piece of metal first slightly expanded under strong magnetic force, and then softened as quickly as liquid, forming a flat and round object, while the excess metal was separated to the side.

Its surface is under the precise control of magnetic force, it is changing rapidly and accurately...

After more than ten seconds, the machine quickly stopped running because more material was not detected.

Wait a little while, the assistant next to you took the finished product on the conveyor and started the test.

In addition to no glass, this is already a true spring-style antique mechanical watch, and all the internal components have been automatically generated in the shaper according to the program.

The whole watch is “seamless” and cannot be disassembled. Of course, there is no need to disassemble, because no matter how it falls, it will not malfunction. It can be used for thousands of years until the critical metal is corroded by the years.

Today's atmosphere is extraordinarily dull. Everyone's face has a solemn face and a lot of thoughts, because since the morning, the news of the war has not come, everyone is worried, and there are fears of something happening.

But as the test of one item passed, everyone started to get excited and smiled on their faces.

This is an influential result that everyone can imagine the sensational effect of this machine and the accompanying glory and status.

Although the technical content of this machine is not high, it is only a new concept, it is the result of a flash of light, and now only a small number of small products can be produced, which has enormous limitations and can only shape a single substance. But it can be regarded as a groundbreaking achievement. One day, it can produce a huge warship.

"Hey!"

At this time, the gate of the experimental area was pushed open and a loud noise was heard.

Cui Weichuan was shocked by a few people. When I looked back, I just wanted to swear, I heard people, and I was excited: "We...we..."

I came here with a colleague. I was still a very introverted person. At this time, it was full of flushing and shortness of breath.

"What? Slowly." Seems to pre-empt, Cui Weichuan also has some breathing rush.

"We...we triumphed, the war is over, look at it... watch the news!"

Cui Weichuan thinks that he is a relatively calm person, but at this time he heard the news, but he only felt that his body was full of numbness, and he was mad at the brain, such as a dream. He is a little dare to say:

"Really won? How can we possibly... No, what about the Bolivia..."

"I... I can't believe it, but we really won!"

Cui Weichuan quickly passed through the personal terminal in his eyes and entered the network. He found that the news of victory inside has already been overwhelming.

There was a loud noise coming from the outside, and the voice was getting louder and louder, deafening.

"Come on, someone is carnival outside!" The colleague, at this time, couldn't see the usual sorrow, and the face flushed Cui Weichuan, and he ran to the door.

......

The news of human victory is like a hurricane in the new space city. The frenetic atmosphere makes the whole new space city boil.

The street was crowded with carnival crowds, some excited and dancing, and some people vented and cried.

All the uneasiness, all the sorrows, are vented at this moment.

Humans have been suppressed for so long in these years. Whether it is before or after the end of the world, it is like a string of strings, a strong sense of uneasiness, and has been haunting the human heart, especially when the investigation of the arrival of the Bolivia, this repressed The atmosphere is at its peak.

Three years of hard preparations, three years of tossing and turning, at the moment, all the time, all countless people are excited to be themselves.

For humans, this victory has been waiting for too long!

......

Luo Yuan quietly came to his mansion built in the New Space City for him, without disturbing anyone. He closed his eyes and listened to the deafening cheers outside, a smile on his lips.
