The second and third phases of Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute have been completed and delivered to Xinghai Science and Technology, which has expanded the area of Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute several times.
The first phase here mainly houses various biological laboratories under the Institute of Biology and various laboratories under the Institute of Electronic Technology.
The number of people is only a few hundred, so the scale is relatively not too large.
The second and third phases are different. Liu Yuan has set up four branches here: the Institute of Physics, the Institute of Astronomy, the Institute of Materials Science, and the Institute of Chemistry, as well as some related important laboratories.
The thousands of new researchers who have newly joined the Xinghai Science and Technology Research Institute are basically in the corresponding professional fields related to these four major research institutes.
In fact, there is also a Mathematics Research Institute, but the Mathematics Research Institute is quite special. It does not require various laboratories. It only needs a building, many classrooms, and offices. To study mathematics, you only need a blackboard and a comfortable environment.
There is no need for various complex and professional laboratories.
On this point, Song Cang from the Institute of Mathematics often joked with Liu Yuan: "The School of Mathematics is the cheapest and least expensive among the major branches. It can be done in one teaching building. It's simple."
Regarding this point, Liu Yuan also has to admit that the Institute of Mathematics is indeed the least expensive research institute. The various research materials, laboratories, etc. of other research institutes are very expensive.
In the case of biological research institutes, there are many large and small laboratories, and the investment in each laboratory can easily reach hundreds of millions. Some advanced research equipment, such as top-notch electron microscopes, cannot be bought even if you have money.
, you need to find a way to manufacture it yourself, and the cost will be even greater.
As for the Materials Research Institute, basic materials research is very expensive. We do experiments every day. The materials for many experiments are very expensive. Gold and silver are trivial. Some rare metals and materials.
The prices are sky-high, and a lot of money is thrown into it.
The key is that the results of materials research are not that easy to come out. Sometimes you may invest year after year, but there is no big result. If you come up with a new material, it will be difficult to develop a use for it.
It gives people the feeling of dragon slaying.
But materials science is the most basic subject and also an important subject indispensable for industrial development.
Why have we never been able to build a powerful engine?
Isn’t it technology and theory?
Or is it that we haven’t fully understood the engine technology?
None of these, the real reason is the insignificant material technology. We have not paid enough attention to this shortcoming, so it has always been difficult to manufacture qualified aero engines.
For the same engine, the lifespan of the engine we make is shorter and less durable than those made by others. The technology is the same and the design is the same, but it just cannot reach the performance of others.
There are also various cutting tools that are often used in the field of machine tools. For the same cutting tools, domestic cutting tools are not as good as imported cutting tools. Whether it is the cutting effect or service life, etc., they are much different. Therefore, the cutting tools used in the field of machine tools are much different.
Tools are largely dependent on imports.
A very important reason for the emergence of these phenomena is that the foundation of materials science has not been laid firmly, and at critical times when various special materials need to be used, the chain will fall off.
Liu Yuan is well aware of the importance of materials science and material research, and has invested heavily in it. He started with the most basic research on steel materials and slowly consolidated this foundation.
Of course, this all requires money. A large amount of money is poured in, just like running water. Fortunately, Liu Yuan has the guidance of inheriting seeds, which can obtain the maximum research effect with the minimum consumption.
In general, research in various major disciplines is more expensive than that of the School of Mathematics, and the School of Mathematics is much cheaper, and you don’t need to spend much money at all.
Moreover, the number of people in the Mathematics Institute is also the smallest. Mathematics is the most important thing about talent. There is a big difference between people with talent and people without talent. Without talent, it is impossible to make achievements and breakthroughs in the field of mathematics. A lifetime of research
In mathematics, you may not be able to study anything.
Talented people are different. Many mathematicians show extraordinary talent at a very young age. You can tell whether you have mathematical talent in your twenties or thirties.
Compared with scientists in other disciplines, mathematicians generally appear to be much younger. For example, Song Cang is a very famous mathematician in his early thirties.
Liu Yuanxing walked inside the Xinghai Research Institute. After the second and third phases were merged, the scale of the research institute became larger and there were more people.
"Boss~"
"Boss~"
"Hello, hello~"
From time to time, I can meet researchers from the institute, and naturally they all take the initiative to say hello to their boss, Liu Yuan.
"Anti-Gravity Laboratory of the Institute of Physics!"
Soon, Liu Yuan arrived at the anti-gravity laboratory, ready to take a look at the research on anti-gravity.
The Anti-Gravity Laboratory is a new laboratory established by Liu Yuan this year. The main research technology is anti-gravity technology that far exceeds the existing technology on earth.
If a mother-star civilization wants to develop into a star-level civilization, it must master a cheap technology to travel to and from space and use rockets to travel to and from space. It will not be possible for a hundred, thousand or ten thousand years to develop into a mother-star civilization.
Star question.
Because the cost is too high and the price is too high.
The cost of using a rocket to and from space, even if it is a recyclable rocket, is calculated at the level of tens of millions of green coins. Every time a rocket is launched, it costs tens of millions of green coins, and the average cost is measured in grams.
It costs tens of millions of green coins to launch a satellite. The satellite only weighs a few hundred kilograms. Its size and weight are greatly restricted, and the cost remains high.
Humans were able to land on the moon last century. Why haven’t humans landed on the moon again after half a century?
After all, it's because of cost.
A moon landing requires tens of billions of green coins. Who has more money and nothing to do to invest in this?
Landing on the moon has no benefits at all, apart from being exciting. The soil and rocks dug back from the moon are all cost-per-gram, which is more expensive than anything else.
The parent star civilization needs to carry out large-scale activities, operations and development throughout the entire solar system. At this time, there are a large number of spacecraft traveling to and from space and planets at all times.
Without sufficiently cheap technology, it is simply impossible to achieve this, and it is simply impossible to say that it will develop into a mother star problem.
Imagine that you are working in space, commuting to and from get off work every day, and even returning to Earth for a meal. If you use a rocket, is it possible?
It's simply impossible, the cost is too high, and the key is that safety is also a big issue.
Accidents often occur during rocket launches. After experiencing several major accidents on the other side of the ocean, Meiliguo became extremely cautious when launching rockets.
Nowadays, everyone just uses rockets to launch satellites and send a few people into space. As for large-scale development of space technology, it is not realistic. There are too many factors to consider, such as cost, safety and so on.
Liu Yuan boasted to the outside world that he would land on the moon in Haikou within three years.
Many people think that Liu Yuan is definitely bragging and that it is unrealistic to rely on rockets to land on the moon.
Of course, Liu Yuan had no intention of landing on the moon by relying on backward technology like rockets.
If we want to develop into space in the future, we must develop a cheap, efficient, and safe technology.
Fortunately, there are many very practical technologies among the inheritance seeds, such as anti-gravity technology, opto-magnetic traction technology, plasma power technology, space power technology, etc.
The so-called anti-gravity technology, as the name suggests, is a technology that uses special methods to get rid of gravity and gravity.
Antigravity technology has actually had related theories for a long time, and it has been predicted in the general theory of relativity. Through related research on gravitational waves, it is believed that it is completely possible to fully utilize the characteristics of gravitational waves to realize the flying saucers of aliens in science fiction movies.
General anti-gravity technology.
There are even many scientists on the earth who have been tirelessly persisting in relevant theoretical and practical research in order to develop this epoch-making anti-gravity technology.
The technical level of opto-magnetic traction technology is even higher, involving opto-magnetic technology, which uses the traction characteristics of opto-magnetic to develop related technologies.
The theory of plasma power technology is even simpler. Its principle is to use powerful current to instantly ionize the air to generate powerful plasma to obtain power.
This technology is also called plasma technology. Because it instantly releases a powerful current to ionize the air, the expansion produced is a hundred or a thousand times more powerful than the expansion produced by a jet engine, so it can have extremely powerful power.
But this technology has two key core points. One is a super-powerful battery. Without super-powerful batteries, it is impossible to use it in aircraft. The electricity required to ionize the air is very huge.
The other is powerful material technology. The temperature generated by super-strong electric current ionizing the air reaches thousands of degrees. There is no material on the earth that can withstand such a terrifying problem.
As for space power technology, this level is even higher. It involves cosmic space science. The principle is to use powerful energy to compress the cosmic space, and then use the distance of the space ejection to achieve flight.
This technology is not something that a parent-star civilization can master at all. It is a technology that can only be slowly explored after a star-level civilization has developed to its extreme. When developed to a certain level, it is a powerful technology that can be used for interstellar navigation.
Therefore, after a comprehensive comparison, Liu Yuan also decided to develop anti-gravity technology first. This is more in line with the current technical level and easier to connect.
