Super industrial overlord

Chapter 368 Properties of New Materials
Huang Xiru and Zhang Yi soon came to the material laboratory of the base. After seeing the data of the material in the laboratory, Zhang Yi and Huang Xiru were very happy in their hearts. The heat insulation material that the speed of the aircraft in the atmosphere reaches Mach 10 or more!What's more, in addition to the super high heat insulation performance of this material, this material also has strong stealth performance, which is not even worse than the stealth performance of the most advanced stealth fighter in the United States.

At the same time, the anti-aging performance of this material is also very good, and it will not oxidize for hundreds of years when it is exposed to the open air.

Of course, this material is not uncertain, and its disadvantages are also very obvious, that is, this material is very soft, like rubber, and its electrical and thermal conductivity is also very poor, especially the electrical conductivity, which is almost ordinary insulating rubber. It can be said that this material is not only a very good heat insulation and high temperature resistant material, but also an excellent insulating material. In addition to being used in the field of heat insulation and high temperature resistance, it can be used in many other fields. This material can be used especially in the field of high temperature insulation.

After listening to the introduction of this material by these scientific researchers in the laboratory, Zhang Yi immediately said happily; "I will start the matter of this new type of material immediately. In addition to our aerospace aircraft, which will be used in large quantities in the future, other companies in our company will use it in the future." This material is widely used in many fields. For example, on the engine of our company, this material can be used to replace the insulation material of the wires on the engine.

You must know that the engine of our company’s aerospace plane is now undergoing durability testing. We originally expected the first overhaul time of the engine to be [-] hours, but now we have only carried out less than [-] hours. This line has begun to show signs of aging, that is to say, if our engine does not change the line, then the life of the engine may not reach [-] hours at all. "

Since no matter what it is, there is always a period of time from the success of laboratory experiments to mass production, and there are many processes in the manufacture of this material, so large-scale production must require a lot of machinery and equipment, so you want to measure If there is a childbirth, it is impossible without a month or two.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yi said again: "Everyone, your material laboratory is different from other laboratories. It is very time-consuming and expensive to develop a new type of material, especially a material with excellent performance, but you can I am very happy to have developed such a material with such excellent performance in such a short period of time. I hope that you will continue to work hard and produce even better materials in the future. At the same time, I also hope that you will not affect this material. In the case of the performance of the material, try to reduce the process required for the production of this material, otherwise, even if it can be mass-produced in the future, its price will be very high, so if you want to popularize it, you must think about it. way to reduce the process."

"Okay! Boss! It is true that this material is very good, but the process is complicated, and a lot of strategic resources are used, but there is no way to do it. Even if we try to reduce the process as much as possible, this The cost of materials is also very high, because a lot of rare strategic materials are added to this material, which is the reason for the high cost of this material." Lao Qi said.

"Yes! Boss! If these strategic rare earth raw materials are not added to this material, then the high temperature resistance of this material will be greatly reduced, and the performance of insulation and aging resistance will also be greatly reduced. It is said that unless we can find cheap rare earth raw materials, otherwise, the price will not drop at all, and it is even possible that as time continues, human civilization consumes rare earth materials on the earth, and the cost of this material will increase.” The person in charge of the materials laboratory said.

"Let's not consider the matter of rare earths for now. Let's simplify the process first, so that this material can be more suitable for industrialization. After all, the reserves of these rare earth materials on the earth are very limited, and some materials even add up to less than the entire earth. It can only reach a hundred tons, but although these rare earth materials are limited on the earth, it does not mean that they are not available outside the earth. For example, the moon, the closest celestial body to our earth, is very likely to have it, as well as Mars, Venus, etc. There are countless celestial bodies, what kind of materials are not available, so I think there will be no shortage of rare earth materials in the future." Zhang Yi said.

"Why didn't I think that common sense is now in our minds! Good Mr. Zhang, we are going to simplify the process now." After hearing Zhang Yi's words, Gao Niu, the person in charge of the laboratory, also said happily.

Afterwards, Zhang Yi rewarded all the scientific researchers in the laboratory, whether they were ordinary people in the laboratory or academic masters hired by him from the system, but the focus was different. The rewards for ordinary people were still in the form of money. Master, and these top students are mainly based on system points, supplemented by money.

After Zhang Yi and Huang Xiru stayed in the laboratory for nearly a morning, Zhang Yi and Huang Xiru were ready to eat, but before leaving the laboratory, Zhang Yi asked Qi Lao; "Qi Lao, I remember that your energy laboratory not only The exploration and research of controllable nuclear fusion technology has already started, and the miniaturization of nuclear reactors has not stopped, but continues to be researched, I don’t know if you have achieved any results in this regard during this period of time.”

"Mr. Zhang! On the controllable nuclear fusion project, we haven't achieved substantial results. We are just doing some preliminary theoretical exploration and research work. As for the improvement project of the nuclear fission reactor miniaturization research project, there are already some eyebrows. In the past, because we did not have suitable high-temperature-resistant insulating materials, we have basically achieved the ultimate in miniaturization or increased power. If we want to reduce the size, it is basically very difficult, but now we have this kind of high-temperature-resistant insulation. materials, we can make the micro-nuclear reactor smaller without affecting the power, or under the same volume, the power can be made larger." Qi Lao said.

"Okay! Old Qi! I'm waiting for your good news!" Zhang Yi said with some expectation.

Zhang Yi is very concerned about the miniaturization of nuclear reactors. If the nuclear reactor can be made smaller, it means that the weight of the aerospace aircraft that their company is working on can be greatly reduced. The load capacity can be further improved, which is absolutely very important.

Then Zhang Yi got up and talked for a while about the miniaturization of the reactor. He and Huang Xiru left the laboratory and walked towards the cafeteria of the base.
