From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

carbon.

non-metallic elements.

The chemical symbol is C, and it is located in the second period IVA group of the periodic table of elements.

It is stable at room temperature, not easy to react, has extremely low toxicity to the human body, and can even be safely ingested in the form of graphite or activated carbon.

Carbon is one of the most common elements, widely present in the atmosphere and the earth's crust in many forms, and is closely related to life on earth.

All life on earth can be called carbon-based organisms.

In the fields of chemistry and industry, carbon has various allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerene, etc.

These allotropes are widely used in aviation, medical, petrochemical, national defense and other fields.

In addition, carbon has a little-known characteristic. Its melting point is the highest among elements. The specific data is that its melting point is 3500 degrees Celsius and its boiling point is as high as 4827 degrees Celsius.

Compare it and you will know how high the data is.

For example, iron has a melting point of 1538 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 2750 degrees Celsius. Tungsten, the metal element with the highest melting point, is only 3410 degrees Celsius and its boiling point is 5660 degrees Celsius.

Sulfur, which is also a non-metallic element, has a melting point of 112.8 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 444.6 degrees Celsius. Another most common stable element, silicon, has a melting point of 1410 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 2355 degrees Celsius.

Carbon is such an important element, it is naturally very unusual to find its 'advanced element'.

This discovery must be very significant.

Wang Hao also finally understood why Zhou Qing and Wang Hui were so excited. He was silent for a long time and took a deep breath before asking, "How did you find out?"

Zhou Qing pointed to the data on the computer and said, "It's still lithium carbonate."

"In this experiment, we continued the magnetization data of the first-order lithium element compound, and found that compared with other lithium element compounds, the magnetization data of lithium carbonate was lower."

"The data deviation is very small. We didn't pay attention to it at first, and thought it was caused by errors."

"However, I later found several kinds of anomalies with low magnetization data. They have a common feature, that is, they contain carbon elements."

After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he stared at Wang Hao seriously, waiting for his judgment.

Wang Hui added, "The data deviation is not large, and it is still within the error range, but they are all low, which must be worth noting."

"Professor Zhou and I discussed that there are three possibilities, one is that the carbon element is upgraded; the second is caused by normal errors or experimental operations and detection; there is another possibility that the carbon element itself has a stronger annihilation force. There is an unknown resistance to the squeezing effect of the field, or in other words, there is an unknown resistance to non-metallic elements.”

Wang Hao nodded in thought.

The third point that Wang Hui said is that there may be other phenomena that have not been discovered, which is also reasonable.

When the annihilation force field continues to strengthen, no one can be sure what will happen, and some undiscovered phenomena are also normal.

But in comparison, Wang Hao is more willing to believe that he discovered the first-order carbon element.

At the same time, the conclusion of discovering the first-order carbon element itself also negates some original speculations. For example, they always believed that the first order-elevating phenomenon was metal elements.

This is because the magnetization reaction effect of metal elements is very strong, while the magnetization reaction of non-metal elements is relatively weaker.

Just compare the data.

Under the action of a strong annihilation force field, when the magnetization intensity of iron element reaches 10T, the highest intensity of non-metallic compounds is less than 0.3T.

The huge difference in the magnetization reaction data, coupled with the fact that the first step-up element discovered was iron, made them subconsciously believe that it is easier for metal elements to undergo step-up phenomena.

As for the non-metallic elements...

It is not certain whether there will be an upgrade phenomenon, and maybe it will never be discovered.

"That doesn't seem to be the case now."

Wang Hao said with a sigh, "If it is verified that the carbon element can be upgraded, it will definitely be a great discovery!"

Zhou Qing and Wang Hui nodded excitedly.

"We still need to continue the experiment. Only when the first-order carbon is really extracted can we confirm the new discovery." After Wang Hao made a decision, he immediately went to the annihilation force field experiment base, and summoned Xiang Qiansheng, Tang Jianjun and others to work together Prepare for a new experiment.

The annihilation force field experiment base is still digesting the last experiment.

Many people were surprised that Wang Hao went back and forth, but Wang Hao didn't explain anything. He just asked the experimental team to check and debug the equipment and start the next experiment as soon as possible.

At the same time, he told Xiang Qiansheng to prepare some materials.

These include graphite, graphene, fullerenes, coal, charcoal, and even a sachet of synthetic diamond.

Artificial diamonds can be simply understood as diamonds.

Diamonds are one of the most expensive jewelry.

In fact, only those larger diamonds are expensive. Artificial broken diamonds can be considered as ordinary materials, and their preciousness is far less than that of some precious metals.

After the meeting ended, Xiang Qiansheng and Tang Jianjun were discussing this issue.

Although Wang Hao did not explain the new experiment, the prepared materials already explained everything. Xiang Qiansheng said bluntly, "It is likely that the first-order carbon was discovered."

"I see it that way, too."

The tone of the two was relaxed, but they were obviously very excited.

They are very clear about what first-order carbon means. No matter from the perspective of technology or research theory, first-order carbon is much more important than first-order lithium.

First-order lithium, the most commonly used field is lithium battery manufacturing.

The application of first-order carbon may cover many important directions such as biomedicine, material manufacturing, aviation, petrochemical industry, national defense, etc.

Even, jewelry.

"In the future, we can use first-order carbon to make diamonds. It doesn't need to be too big, just over one carat. It will definitely be sold all over the world, and the rich will be interested."

Xiang Qiansheng said expectantly.

Tang Jianjun shook his head while thinking, "The results of the experiment are still uncertain. From my experience, such sudden discoveries are often just abnormal data."

"...your experience?"

Xiang Qiansheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say. He really didn't want to attack Tang Jianjun, but could Tang Jianjun's experience be used on Wang Hao?

"never mind."

"Let him feel it himself..."

He still didn't say anything in the end. After all, Tang Jianjun could be called an 'old academician', and it's not good to beat the old academician with words.

...

soon.

The next experiment begins.

The annihilation force field lasted for more than ten minutes, and the magnetized material inside was promptly sent to the material testing center for data analysis and follow-up research.

Of course, the most important thing is to separate the possible first-order carbon elements.

This is very difficult work.

The extraction of first-order lithium is relatively easy, because the melting point and boiling point of first-order lithium are very low. In a vacuum environment, pure first-order lithium can be obtained only by using the principle of raising the melting point and boiling point of elements of higher order.

First-order carbons are different.

The boiling point and melting point of carbon are too high, because the element is unstable and can chemically react with various elements, and the extraction work must also be carried out in a vacuum.

At the same time, very high temperatures must be produced.

This is the difficulty.

The extraction method of first-order lithium cannot be used on first-order carbon at all. It is necessary to carefully study a reasonable extraction plan before trying to extract it.

The material testing center is really busy.

Now the scale of the Material Testing Center has been greatly expanded, with several more teams than before, and a total of dozens of researchers.

Wang Hui and Zhou Qing are the main persons in charge.

Other researchers, including Tian Shimin, Wang Yongjun, Zang Wanli, etc., each lead their own teams and are responsible for the research of advanced elements.

In the research direction of advanced elements, the work is relatively idle, because first-order iron and first-order lithium are officially sold to the outside world, and many institutions are participating in the research.

In this case, it is difficult to make any big discoveries.

In fact, most researchers would like to be more busy, which means that they may have a big discovery.

This day has finally come.

First-order carbon!

Their research will definitely shock the world, and everyone is also very active, using their brains to study how to carry out the extraction work.

Everyone is working towards one goal.

...

at the same time.

A major event related to the study of the annihilation force field has occurred internationally.

Alliance O, together with several countries including Country R and Country H, announced their support for the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and raised a total of 10 billion euros to support the next stage of research work.

At the same time, Bill Bryan, a famous physicist, served as the new head of the International Annihilation Field Organization.

The news was interpreted by the media to focus on two points.

One is the International Annihilation Theory Organization "Back to Life", which has raised enough funds to carry out the next stage of research. According to the technical direction disclosed by the organization, they will be able to create an annihilation force field with a strength of more than 5 times in the next year.

The second is that American was officially kicked out.

American took the lead in forming the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and allocated the most funds to support the organization's research.

Later, it announced the follow-up support of billions of dollars. As a result, the funds have not arrived until now. Instead, it announced the "Groom Lake Project" alone, and also evacuated the American scientists who participated in the research from the organization.

This also means that American has withdrawn from the International Annihilation Theory Organization, but it has not been officially announced.

Now the O Alliance, together with several other countries, openly supported the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and signed a new scientific research cooperation plan, and American was excluded.

If American wants to join the International Annihilation Theory Organization again, he will not be able to enter with a single sentence. He will definitely need to apply again and obtain the consent of other participating countries.

There is definitely a price to pay for this process.

American is naturally very dissatisfied. They led the establishment of the International Annihilation Theory Organization, and they were directly kicked out in the end?

Even if they really have no intention of continuing to participate...

But, it's embarrassing!

Next, several congressmen and officials from American stood up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the O League and several other countries, believing that they are still participating countries of the International Annihilation Theory Organization, but they never talked about whether they would give the organization financial support.

Of course they can't talk about support.

The "Groom Lake Project" is consuming a lot of money, and they have no intention of continuing to participate in the International Annihilation Theory Organization. They just want to retain their quota and continue to obtain technology sharing permissions.

Such protests are of course pointless.

The International Annihilation Theory Organization has received financial support and is determined to carry out the next stage of research. International research on strong annihilation force fields has formed three distinct 'factions'.

One is a florist.

One is American's "Groom Lake Project".

Finally, there is the International Annihilation Theory Organization.

The reason why the O League and several other countries decided to organize the International Annihilation Theory is also a choice that has no choice.

Whether it's the research of the florists, or American's "Groom Lake Project", they can't participate at all, but the strong annihilation force field technology must be studied.

The idea of ​​these countries is simple.

Even if the annihilation force field technology cannot compete for the first place, it must have the corresponding technology, which can be extended to develop the accompanying annihilation technology, otherwise there will be no 'backward' technology, and it will be impossible to develop annihilation technology .

Meanwhile, the International Annihilation Theory Group remains out of the limelight.

Even though they have a lot of national support behind them, the research direction has been determined, and the progress of the next stage has been determined, which is to create a strong annihilation force field with a strength exceeding 5 times.

The data of florists is "8 times ratio".

Most people believe that the research led by Gamow-Shapley in American's huge "Groom Lake Project" has the hope of surpassing the technology of florists.

...

Virginia City, Nevada.

Gamow-Shapley was taking two important figures to visit the base, and they kept talking about the research on strong annihilation force field technology along the way.

In the direction of research based on upgraded elemental materials, he talked about the results discussed by many scholars, and continued to emphasize that the research direction has a broad future.

The two big men are the No. 1 decision maker and Duruke Bent.

Duruke Bent gave Gamow-Shapley absolute support, and the No. 1 decision maker agreed to the "Groom Lake Plan", so he would naturally support Gamow-Shapley.

They briefly listened to the research direction.

Gamow-Shapley's attitude gave them so much confidence that they stopped talking about difficult research questions.

Decision maker No. 1 asked about the technology of Wang Hao's team, "Mr. Shapley, what do you think of the technology of the florists? According to the information we have compiled, they are likely to still use... what is it called?"

He looked at the casual secretary.

The secretary immediately reminded, "High-pressure mixed materials."

"Yes, high-pressure materials." Decision maker No. 1 nodded and added, "What do you think? They used this material to create an 8-magnification."

"That's the limit."

Gamow-Shapley affirmed, "I have discussed with others many times, and I think the research of Wang Hao's team has reached the limit."

"In recent months, they have not made new discoveries as evidence."

"Their magnification of 8 is not necessarily directly manufactured, and other methods may also be used, such as high magnetic interference. Experiments have proved that high magnetic fields have a repulsive effect on strong annihilation force fields, and may increase the strength of the force field."

"But in any case, their research has reached the limit. If they want to improve, they must find other directions. Obviously, the new direction can only be to replace the basic materials."

"The first-order material is the direction."

Decision Maker No. 1 pursed his lips and asked, "But they are also making the first-order materials now, and we have to spend a lot of money to buy materials."

"That's impossible, Mr. Decision Maker No. 1."

Gamow-Shapley said, "Our technology has fallen behind. Now it's about finding a way to catch up, and the money spent is the price of falling behind."

"This is the case in every field. The materials we produce in other directions are sold to other countries at high prices. Now that we annihilate the technological defense line, we must also pay the price of insufficient technology."

"That's why we have to pay close attention to research and achieve technological catch-up."

"However, Mr. Decision Maker No. 1, don't worry, it's only a matter of time before we catch up. We have invested tens of billions of dollars to do the largest research in the world. We have the best team of scientists, the most complete talent system... "

"I can't think of a reason why I can't catch up!"

Seeing Gamow-Shapley's face full of confidence, the No. 1 decision maker shook his hand with satisfaction and said, "I can't think of one either!"

"Your work is cool!"

"come on!"
