"Let's go to the Materials Research Institute ~"
Seeing this, Qin Yi knows that there is no problem in the theoretical research of the curved speed engine, and the next most important material problem is.
The three major obstacles of the curved speed engine, one is theoretical research. This is the most basic thing, because the theory determines the direction and height. The more science develops, the more important the theory is. Without the support of the theory, many things are not. The method continues to study.
The second is the energy issue. The principle of the curvilinear engine is simple, and its principle is actually very simple. It is nothing more than using strong energy to resonate the space, thereby folding the space, and then using the strong energy to directly open the space to form a space wormhole. , Through the space wormhole directly and quickly across distant distances.
How much energy is needed to make the space resonate, fold, open the wormhole in the space, and use your toes to know how much energy is needed. Without strong energy, it ca n’t support the crank engine. of.
But fortunately, the technology of controlled nuclear fusion has been studied long ago. In theory, the energy generated by controlled nuclear fusion is second only to the energy produced when antimatter annihilates. This is the source of stellar energy, which is enough to meet the speed of the engine. Strong energy requirements.
The third problem is the material problem. The second-generation anti-gravity engine is extremely harsh on the material. The material required for this curved engine is definitely not an ordinary material, and it must be a theoretical degenerate material.
Degenerate materials, also called degenerate materials, are a high-density material state. The pressure of degenerate materials is mainly derived from the Pauli exclusion principle, which is called degenerate pressure.
This is the degenerate material, which is a material that needs to be created from an atomic perspective.
The development of science and technology has made it possible to artificially synthesize materials on the atomic scale, such as atomic clusters, cluster materials, linear chains, multilayer heterostructures, ultra-thin films, etc. These materials are characterized by low dimensions and symmetry. The geometrical features are reduced.
But it is only possible. When it is actually operated, it is difficult to truly build the materials you need from an atomic point of view. The atomic unit is too small. At present, most of science and technology only Can reach nanometer level, and the atom is much smaller than nanometer.
First of all, we must first understand their size. Nano in English is nanonoter, abbreviated as nano, nano is a unit of length, and 1 nano is one billionth of a meter, which is denoted as n.
1 nanometer is equal to the length of 10 hydrogen atoms arranged next to each other. Because the diameter of each atom is different, 1 nanometer may be equal to the length of the array of dozens of other elements.
20 nanometers is almost equivalent to one third of a hair strand.
What we usually call nanotechnology refers to the technology of studying the specific phenomena and functions of matter in the nanometer range (100 nm to 01 nm), and creating new material materials by directly manipulating and arranging atoms and molecules. .
The emergence of nanotechnology first benefited from the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (st), which can magnify millions of times. The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope allowed scientists to observe this microscopic world at a nanometer angle.
Since the early 1990s, nanotechnology has developed rapidly. New disciplines such as nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nanomechanics, nanobiology, etc. have emerged continuously. Nanotechnology is the future that scientists predict will change humans. One of the nine sciences of history.
In fact, although today's scientists can observe information at the atomic level through st technology, and have certain influence on the arrangement of atoms.
For example, in April 1990, when two scientists in North America ib observed xenon atoms on the surface of metallic nickel with st, the movement of the probe and xenon atoms was inspired, and they tried to move the xenon atoms adsorbed on the nickel with st , Arranged 35 xenon atoms on the surface of nickel to a 5 atom height "ib" structure.
And scientists at the Huaxia Regional Academy of Sciences have also used nanotechnology to draw the world's smallest map of the Huaxia region by moving carbon atoms on the surface of graphite, which is less than 10 nanometers in size.
Since then, scientists have enjoyed moving various atoms and putting on various patterns, silicon atoms, sulfur atoms, iron atoms, carbon monoxide molecules, iron-based molecules ...
From this we can know that what scientists can currently achieve is to slightly move some atoms, put various patterns on the surface of the object, and cannot truly build and construct the atomic structure in three dimensions. At the same time, there is no way Large-scale, fast-going to create new materials from an atomic perspective.
But even so, only a few atoms can be easily moved and some atomic arrangements can be made on the surface. Scientists have also produced a variety of complex nanomaterials, such as the artificial structure of copper atoms on the surface of copper. The arrangement can also increase the strength of copper 5 times.
We all know that diamond is diamond, graphite, and coke. The atoms they form are actually the same, that is, carbon atoms, but the properties of these materials are very different. Diamonds are the hardest materials in nature in terms of hardness The hardness of graphite and coke is very low.
The reason for this difference is the structure of the carbon atoms. The atomic structure of diamond forms a covalent bond with the other 4 carbon atoms in the s3 hybrid orbital to form a regular tetrahedron.
Because the cc bond in diamond is very strong, diamond has high hardness and extremely high melting point; and because all valence electrons are confined to the covalent bond region, there are no free electrons, so diamond is not conductive.
In the graphite structure, carbon atoms in the same layer are s2 hybridized to form covalent bonds, and each carbon atom is connected to the other three atoms with three covalent bonds. Six carbon atoms form a regular six-connected ring on the same plane, stretching into a sheet structure.
Here, the bond length of the cc bond is 142, which belongs to the bond length range of the atomic crystal, so for the same layer, it is an atomic crystal.
Carbon atoms in the same plane each have one orbital left. They overlap each other. The electrons are relatively free, which is equivalent to free electrons in metals. Therefore, graphite can conduct heat and electricity, which is the characteristic of metal crystals.
Simple and easy to understand is that the carbon atom structure of diamond is three-dimensional, and all carbon atoms directly form a regular tetrahedron with each other, which is a three-dimensional structure.
The structure of graphite is that carbon atoms form a regular hexagonal ring on the same plane, forming a lamellar structure, that is, a layer of carbon atoms, but there is no connection between the carbon atoms between layers. This is Flat structure.
A three-dimensional regular tetrahedron structure and a flat regular hexagonal structure cause the material properties between diamond and graphite to be so different that their value is also different from cloud mud.
The price of diamonds is calculated in carats, and the price of graphite is calculated in tons. The value differs by hundreds of millions!
If you want to research the materials used for the curved engine, you need to construct the material from the perspective of the atomic solid, and turn the decay into magic. For example, the atomic angle of iron is like a diamond, and it has a regular tetrahedral solid structure. What kind of material will come out?
This science and technology is also the technology that Xinghan materials scientists are most enthusiastic about at present. A variety of powerful new materials are also emerging, but so far scientists have only been able to show that moving a few atoms to form a plane atomic layer. There is no way to actually perform three-dimensional atomic construction.
Now that the first two conditions have matured, the last step before the curvature of the engine becomes reality is to develop a powerful degenerate material that can support the engine of the curvature.
Once the degenerate materials can be researched and the curved engine is manufactured, although the cosmic starry sky is bright, it can no longer stop the progress of Yan and Huang descendants.
Soon, accompanied by Liu Peiqiang, Qin Yi came to the Xinghan National Materials Science Research Institute and found the person in charge of the research institute Ren Qing. Ren Qing was the old man of the Xinghe Technology Group, and also the first to join the material of the Xinghe Technology Group. the scientist.
At this time, Ren Qing and Qin Yi were both in their 70s, but as before, there were no traces left on her, and she was still very beautiful and beautiful.
All of this is naturally because of the effect of the genetic optimization solution. She injected the genetic optimization solution earlier, and the effect is naturally very good. The 70s look just like the 20s.
But when she is a scientist of her age, if it is according to the standards of the earth, it is the peak time of a scientist's life.
Without the genetic optimization solution, the average life expectancy of a person is about 80 years old. The first 30 years are basically in the learning stage, and then it takes more than ten years to explore and accumulate on the road to science. The age of many years approaching the age of 50 is the peak.
Have experience, accumulation, and foundation ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Human energy can still be very plentiful, the brain is agile and active, good health, and can fight for a long time. Once this age has passed, whether it is physical, Whether it is the brain, there will be a large landslide, and at that time the value of scientists will greatly shrink.
With the injection of the gene optimization solution, the genes have been optimized. Not only has the life span become longer, it is more important to be able to develop the brain, strengthen the body, have a strong body and a smart brain.
With a long life span and a very healthy body, this means that after stimulating the gene optimization fluid, their golden period may be hundreds of years, thousands of years, and even longer.
This is of great significance for promoting the development of science and technology. Let's think about it. If an excellent scientist like Einstein can live hundreds or thousands of years, to what extent will the level of human science and technology rise? No one can tell.
However, one thing is certain. The substantial increase in life expectancy is of extraordinary significance to the advancement of science and technology and civilization.
On the planet, the more developed the country and region, the longer the life expectancy per person, and vice versa. Because of the accumulation and inheritance of knowledge, it takes a time and process. The bigger the more you need to learn, and life expectancy will become the most important constraint.
