This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 99 Passivating Solid Metallic Hydrogen
Pure metallic hydrogen is a solid crystal that can remain unsealed for a long time at room temperature.

Moreover, it has the mechanical strength of ordinary metals and can be cut with ordinary tools.

This is close to the characteristics of solid rocket fuel. The fuel grain of solid rockets needs to be cut and carved, and it requires extremely high-precision manual carving.

However, pure metallic hydrogen seems to be only suitable for high-energy explosives, and it must be adjusted if it is used as rocket fuel. Other substances need to be added to the ratio to change the extremely violent explosiveness into a special flammability!
In this case, the Fourth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology would not be able to do it alone, and had to be supported by brother units, and even recruited many scientific researchers from military laboratories.

After all, this thing is not only used on space rockets, but also on missiles.

Even... more suitable for use on missiles.

The military sector is more eager to stabilize it than the aerospace sector.

Of course, there is also Li Future, the representative of Li Future Studio, who provided this technology after all.

Every time Li Future comes here, experiments are being carried out here, and this time is no exception.

In the confidential experimental area exclusive to metal hydrogen.

Li Weiwei watched through the bulletproof glass as the testers inside readjusted the passivation formula, then took out a 1-gram test chemical, mixed it thoroughly, and finally carefully placed it into a strong and special testing device.

There are two main reasons for the 1 gram test drug.

First, the power of metallic hydrogen is indeed great. The explosive power is equivalent to 25 to 35 times that of TNT explosive of the same mass. One gram is equivalent to half a grenade.

If there is more, the test device is not particularly necessary.

And with the weight of 1 gram, the damage rate of the test device is not low.

However, it cannot be reduced any more. If it is too small, the test data will have errors.

The first reason is the properties of metallic hydrogen, and the second reason is also the properties of metallic hydrogen.

The mass production of metallic hydrogen is too difficult. Although there is technical support from the future, it takes time to establish a large-scale production line.

Now these metal hydrogen are all "laboratory" products, the output is not much, only about one kilogram per day can be produced, and a lot of energy is consumed at the same time.

But this is already very impressive. You must know that humans only "seemed" to have obtained metal hydrogen before.

That was about five years ago when a team of university experiments in the Commonwealth of Freedom announced that they had cooled a sample of hydrogen gas to a temperature just above absolute zero and then compressed the solid hydrogen with diamonds at extremely high pressures higher than the center of the Earth. , and finally successfully obtained a small piece of metal hydrogen.

This sample of metallic hydrogen is preserved between two tiny diamonds.

"The preparation of metallic hydrogen is the holy grail of high-pressure physics, and this is the first sample of metallic hydrogen on Earth," they said in a news release.

But a month later, when they tried to measure the pressure with a low-power laser, they heard a faint "click," indicating that one of the diamonds had broken into fine dust.

This catastrophic failure caused the sample to disappear.

The team thinks that the metallic hydrogen may have disappeared in a metallic "liner" between the two diamonds that was used to hold the metallic hydrogen.

It may also be that the metallic hydrogen sample is unstable and turns into a gas at normal temperature and pressure.

But some scientists say that metallic hydrogen may not have been prepared by them at all.

Naturally, the experimental team refuted this. They said that when they observed the metallic hydrogen sample through a microscope, it was shiny and reflected light in the way metallic hydrogen should, which meant that they had definitely prepared metallic hydrogen.

But some scientists still think that the shiny metal they observed may not be metallic hydrogen, but aluminum oxide.

Because the diamond is coated with a layer of aluminum oxide, the aluminum oxide may also behave differently under high pressure.

At first, this incident made a fuss in the related fields, but then the team never used the same method to create metallic hydrogen again, and the incident just fell silent.

Li Weilai thought about this, and the tests in the laboratory were also going on.

"ignition!"

As the tester pressed the button, Li Weilai could clearly hear the explosion.

"boom!"

The test drug exploded violently, and various sensors in the detection device fed back real-time data to the computer. The testers watched with wide eyes.

"Hey, I failed again."

"Yeah, the data is still wrong."

"The duration is too short."

The testers sighed, but Li Future's eyes were very sharp, and he saw the experimental data directly.

"No, not a complete failure," he said aloud.

When everyone in the laboratory heard the movement, they quickly turned to see him.

"Gong Li, why are you here?"

Everyone happily gathered in front of the bulletproof glass.

One person in the laboratory knew that Li Weilai was coming, so all the people in the laboratory knew that Li Future was coming, so Li Future was invited into the main control room to check all the experimental data.

The output of 1 kilogram per day is not too small. If you use 1 gram for a test, you can do 1000 times, and an experimental group can't be too busy.

And so many foreign aids were invited to watch the excitement, so many groups were divided into testing at the same time.

When there is no clear route, just try one by one.

From the last experimental data, Li Weiwei found that several experimental data were outstanding, and they were much more stable than last time.

The available value they set is 10 points, and four paths have already exceeded 5 points. The progress can be said to be rapid!
Sure enough, a lot of people means a lot of strength, and the people who can be invited are all first-class talents.

In fact, Li Future has a mature fuel deactivation formula, which is from the time library, but what he learned is only one, and it does not overlap with these four paths....

He was scratching his head about this, and he planned to wait and see to see if any of the four roads could succeed.

If there is, it is to give up the reputation of successful passivation. After all, it is an honor that people have obtained by their own ability, not his kind of coercion.

If no one succeeds, then he will give them a little boost and continue to let them get the honor.

Because he is a loser, he does not need to grab any honors, as long as the progress can catch up with his plan.

His plan for the future 2 mobile phone is not simply to rely on satellites to send text messages and make calls. With such a large antenna installed, he hopes that the future 2 mobile phone can make high-quality video calls anywhere on the earth.

Of course it’s not just video calls, but if you can meet that requirement, other projects will be easier.

Isn't the Freedom Federation going to ban him, then he will connect the whole world, and then ban the Freedom Federation in turn!
But in order to achieve this achievement, he needs efficient launch vehicles and efficient communication satellites to achieve.

The current rockets and satellites are far from meeting his requirements.

Of course, many bigwigs are also sighing secretly even if they use the rockets with solid metal hydrogen in the future.

"Unfortunately, it's a solid state!"

"Indeed, solid rockets can't go to the moon."

"Well, and there are also limited future routes for solid rockets."

"The military must be 100% happy, but here we are only 50% happy, a bit unwilling."

The reason why the big guys are like this is because the advantages and disadvantages of solid rockets are too obvious.

Let's put it this way, as far as the current rockets are concerned, there is no super rocket that is purely solid fuel.

There are also liquid rockets as the core, and solid rockets can only be used as boosters.

The small rockets have solid bodies, but they are too small, so they can transport some small objects, but large liquid rockets are required to transport large objects.
