"My big boss, what wind brought you here?"
Xinghan National Institute of Materials Science, when Ren Qing saw Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang, also smiled and asked.
Materials science is the basis of all disciplines, and it is a very important discipline. However, Qin Yi has never been to the Materials Science Research Institute. This also makes Ren Qing very dissatisfied. Edge doesn't pay much attention.
Of course, this is not that Qin Yi does not pay attention to it. Quite the contrary, Qin Yi has always attached great importance to materials research, asking for money, asking for others, and spare no effort to give support.
The reason why there is less to go is the initial material science research. It is actually a process of continuous accumulation. In simple terms, it is constantly throwing money in, allowing scientists to continue experimenting and studying various materials. , Such as alloy materials.
This requires a huge amount of funds to be poured in, allowing scientists to continue to experiment with a variety of ratios, and then develop a variety of new materials.
This requires constant investment and experimentation. There is no too much technology or esoteric theory. Unlike other research institutes, Qin Yi often needs to go and look around and give pointers. In this way, we can make rapid progress and rapid development.
So Qin Yi rarely comes to the Institute of Materials Science, but this does not mean that Qin Yi does not pay attention.
However, from the perspective of Ren Qing, Qin Yi didn't pay much attention. For other research institutes and research disciplines, Qin Yi would turn around for three days and take a look at it to give some advice.
As a result, the results are constantly emerging, and many newcomers are constantly taking the initiative and rising, becoming a new emerging in the scientific community of Xinghan.
On the other hand, the side of the Institute of Materials Science looks like a stagnant water. It seems that the waves are not frightening. There are no special results, and no particularly outstanding talents have emerged. This makes Ren Qing, the person in charge here, also very dissatisfied.
In particular, sometimes when people meet, Lu Qingwei, a big-tailed wolf, needs to get to the sky as long as he has a few grades. When the various research colleges are ranked, they are always at the bottom of the Institute of Materials Science. what.
"It's been a long time, so come and see"
Qin Yi touched his nose and said that now only Ren Qing has been calling his boss.
"It's been a long time since you, my big boss, haven't been here for many years. I have forgotten our Academy of Materials Science."
Ren Qingbai glanced at Qin Yi, which made Qin Yi even more embarrassed. As for Liu Peiqiang, he smiled hard.
Among the earliest scientists in Xinghe Science and Technology Group, there are very few female scientists, and it is only Ren Qing who is famous, so-called her status is special.
Both the person in charge and Qin Yi's big boss, when asking for money and people, were so confident that they could not do anything, even if it exceeded a part of the budget, it would be approved.
Of course, under the leadership of her, the Institute of Materials Science is also flourishing. A variety of new materials are emerging in an endless stream. On the one hand, it meets the needs of scientific development, and on the other hand, it has accumulated and cultivated a large material science research team.
It must be known that while on the earth, Huaxia's technology is okay in all aspects, but it is not good in the field of materials science, which severely restricts the development in high-tech areas.
For example, the aero engine, in fact, everyone knows the technical principles, there is no esoteric theory at all, but the manufactured engine is vastly different.
A good engine thrust-to-weight ratio can reach 1:10, that is, a one-ton engine can exert 10 tons of thrust. Except for its own weight, the remaining 9 tons can be given to the aircraft.
The poor engine has a thrust-to-weight ratio of only 1: 5. It can give the aircraft a very good thrust, and its life is also worrying. Advanced engines can fly for thousands of hours, and poor engines can fly for hundreds of hours. There is a problem.
The key and core of it are either nothing else or materials.
The gap in the field of basic materials has led to a huge gap in this cutting-edge field. From here you can know the importance of materials science. It can be said to be the foundation of almost all scientific fields. This foundation naturally determines the height of the superstructure.
For this piece, Qin Yi was willing to spend money from the era of Xinghe Science and Technology Group, and did not lay a solid foundation. In future, development in many aspects will be restricted, which is not what Qin Yi wants.
Not only to develop a variety of materials, but also to cultivate a huge team of materials science research, but also to apply many technologies and new materials in materials science to social and economic development. Can be considered as a solid foundation.
"Say, what do you want to see today?"
Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to visit the Institute of Materials Science, and asked while walking.
"Look at the research on degenerate materials."
Qin Yi thought and said.
For ordinary materials, Qin Yi has no mood to look at it now. The main thing is to see the research of degenerate materials. This is the most important thing.
"I knew you must be here to ask about degenerate materials."
Ren Qing seems to have long expected Qin Yi's purpose, and took them directly to the Degenerate Materials Research Center.
The Degenerate Materials Research Center is the latest research center established by the Institute of Materials Science, but it is the most important research center of the entire Institute of Materials Science, and it is also the focus of many scientists.
"Degenerate materials are really difficult, and we still haven't made any substantial progress."
At the Degenerate Materials Research Center, Ren Qing also sighed.
As a master scientist in the field of materials science, she is too clear about how difficult it is to realize degenerate materials. Although scientists can now move atoms to form a new atomic layer in the material, this atomic layer is only a planar structure. Is not degenerate.
And more importantly, this is just an operation performed in a laboratory. It cannot be used on a large scale, because the movement of atoms is too slow, and the atoms are too small.
In addition, it is just a fingernail-sized area, and the number of atoms that need to be moved does not know how many. This efficiency is too slow and has no substantial meaning.
What's more, the real degenerate materials still need to be arranged from three-dimensional perspective to create atoms, which is even more difficult.
The path to degenerate materials is a long way to go.
"What ideas do you have now?"
After Qin Yi heard it, he nodded slightly, then thought about it and asked.
"At present we have three main ideas to create degenerate materials. One is to use high temperature and high pressure. We simulate the strong pressure and terrible high temperature inside the planet, and use this method to create degenerate materials."
"This is also a reference to the process of diamond formation. This diamond is formed under the environment of high temperature and high pressure inside the interstellar, so we think this idea may also be feasible."
"Another idea is to use a strong magnetic field to make degenerate materials. This is inspired by Jupiter's strong magnetic field that can tear stars. We think that as long as the magnetic field is strong enough, we can use it to form degenerate materials. "
"The last idea is that we use gravity technology to make degenerate materials. This degenerate material is actually similar to a neutron star. It is an atomic material."
"We all know that the formation of this neutron star was due to the collapse of the massive star at the end, so we thought of using strong gravity to compress the material to form a degenerate material."
"But this also failed. The gravity generating device we made is getting more and more powerful, but still unable to produce degenerate materials."
Ren Qing thought about the three research ideas on the current degenerate materials research center.
In the manufacture of degenerate materials, it is the theory that needs to be broken first. There is no strong theoretical support, and there is no direction for research. Scientists are now like headless flies. They are constantly experimenting with methods, but they have to No road will work.
No matter what you do, there is no way to make degenerate materials.
"Let's take a closer look at the progress of your three research ideas."
When Qin Yi heard it, he immediately became interested.
Regarding degenerate materials, there is naturally very detailed content in the science and technology tower. UU reads www.uukanshu.com. Of course, there are also methods for manufacturing degenerate materials. There are many methods, such as space compression, gravity compression, and magnetic fields. Compression and so on, many methods are very high.
Among the three methods mentioned by Ren Qing, the method and idea of using magnetic field and gravity to create degenerate materials is actually very good. Just find the right way, this degenerate materials may still be manufactured.
As for this method of space compression to create degenerate materials, it is currently unrealistic at all. This is a means of advanced cosmic civilization and requires extremely powerful research on space technology.
Soon, Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to the laboratories, listened to the scientists' research and research progress in detail, and understood the current situation.
"Why haven't you thought about concentrating and constraining this magnetic field or gravity? It's like light. The power of a beam of light is naturally limited, but if countless channels of light are gathered, constrained, and concentrated on a point, Its power is naturally incomparable. "
"Either the magnetic field or the gravity, why don't we try to constrain it and concentrate it?"
After clarifying the research situation and progress, Qin Yi thought about it and put forward his own suggestions.
