This time's material conference is not just for a small circle in a certain field like before, but for all scientists and even the public!
New materials with reliable performance that have been tested in large quantities for a long time have finally been demonstrated one by one.
As a basic science, materials science is used in too many places. Whether it is machinery manufacturing, weapons manufacturing or aerospace engineering, it must be supported by materials with sufficient performance. The materials on the earth in the past are no longer enough.
Various cutting-edge machinery with increasingly higher requirements.
All in all, this material release is particularly exciting!
"We should pay more attention to this." Yu Yifeng murmured to himself.
There are some new materials that Yu Yifeng already knows about, but ordinary people don't know. This press conference is for the entire civilization, and the purpose is to let everyone know the current progress of materials science.
This press conference was broadcast by the Propaganda Department, and everyone on board the Noah can watch the press conference on TV. Of course, people can also visit the venue in person...
"Dear viewers, as you can see, the postcard-sized silver-white substance in my hand is a piece of radiation-proof organic metal. Its radiation-proof ability is more than 13 times that of a lead plate of the same volume, and it has a very
Excellent performance: extremely soft, light and even foldable..."
"In fact, part of our anti-radiation wall against supernovae uses this new material. Its molecular structure is derived from the capsid of the Martian virus..."
The narrator is a beautiful senior reporter and broadcaster who once reported on the entire fight against the Mars virus.
In order to introduce these new materials, she also spent a lot of effort in advance.
"Okay, everyone watching this show... we all know that the universe may be full of dangers: low temperature, radiation, and lack of oxygen can all cause fatal harm to the human body. The emergence of this radiation-proof metal makes up for the previous history of materials.
The cost is not high, and it can even be mass-produced."
"The emergence of this material also means that we can make lighter and cheaper space suits, which can bring a safer experimental environment to various nuclear laboratories..."
"Here, we invite our guest Dr. Lang Yifei, the inventor of a new type of radiation-proof organic metal, to explain to us the harm of "radiation" to humans..."
Yu Yifeng also visited the entire exhibition hall accompanied by several acquaintances and nodded constantly.
Xu Yunjin, Zhao Yao and others looked around excitedly. They were not scientists, but they also felt a "scientific" atmosphere.
"The new radiation-proof material is indeed good, but it is not the most outstanding work in the entire exhibition." Dr. Rimbaud said with some pride.
The most outstanding ones are a set of metal materials called "Superalloy Series" and a... new type of high-temperature superconducting material!
These two are truly masterpieces across the ages and are the protagonists of this material conference.
"Superalloy series", as a material series, is of course not one type, but seventeen types!
This series was completed by more than sixty scientists, and Rimbaud was one of them. No wonder he was so proud.
Yu Yifeng stopped in front of the display stand of the super alloy series. There were already many scientists and a large number of engineers gathered here. The emergence of new materials has greatly improved various projects. Even the Kinov Industrial Factory has to be slowly updated.
Replacement to achieve higher productivity.
Seeing a series of parameters on the form, Yu Yifeng couldn't help but nodded secretly.
"This is Super Alloy α, which is essentially a hafnium alloy with the molecular structure formula ***. We developed it after being inspired by flying saucer materials. Its melting point is very high, estimated to be above 8400 degrees! Most of the thermal power stations below
It is also built of this metal.”
"Its strength is also good, about three times that of special steel, and it is very corrosion-resistant..."
Dr. Rimbaud asked Yu Yifeng to clarify his doubts. As one of the inventors of this series, he knows everything about the superalloy series.
When he heard these words, Zhao Yao raised his head in surprise and asked: "Why is it only 8,400 degrees? Is this melting point very high? Isn't the magma below said to be tens of thousands of degrees? Isn't the supernova hundreds of millions of degrees? Our Noah
How did you carry the number?"
Zhao Yao's words were like a bucket of cold water, and Lan Bo was immediately stuck. His face turned red and he didn't know what to say next...
Yu Yifeng said without raising his head: "More than eight thousand degrees is already high enough. You must know that the materials we used in the past could only withstand temperatures of three to four thousand degrees at most. Now it has more than doubled. You
Isn’t that enough? If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense.”
"Oh..." Zhao Yao scratched his head. It was not embarrassing anyway. He had been criticized many times and was very thick-skinned.
Rimbaud scratched his head and then introduced the next one:
"This is super alloy β. It is characterized by being very light and strong enough. The main metal elements are titanium and lithium. At the same volume, its mass is only one-third of that of traditional aluminum alloys. So this super alloy
Alloys are good materials for building space vehicles..."
Hearing this, Xu Yunjin also became interested. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he took the black metal and bumped it in his hand. It was indeed very light. "Is it strong enough? It's light and feels a bit weak...
"
"This super alloy... is not only lighter than aluminum alloy, but its strength is about the same as special steel." Dr. Rimbaud felt a little proud when he said this.
Wang Yufan behind him just sighed: "If it were placed on the earth, this patent would be worth hundreds of millions, right? If the previous Boeing 773 had to use this material..."
"A few hundred million is probably not enough. Think about it. How much fuel can be saved? How much money can be saved if all aircraft use this material?"
"The main cost of an airplane is fuel..."
While everyone kept discussing economic issues, Yu Yifeng was thinking about other things.
This kind of metal can be said to be tailor-made for aircraft. I wonder how the research on small space shuttles is going? Logically speaking, the progress should be good. After all, humans have also obtained the drones of the Green Light Civilization as a reference...
However, based on the current situation, even if the research is completed, it is impossible to go outside the Noah and conduct a test flight. This work can only be delayed...
When Yu Yifeng was thinking about something, Dr. Rimbaud began to introduce the next super alloy, "This is a super alloy with very good ductility. You can pull it apart like flour, but it will not break..."
"
Introduced one by one, there are a total of seventeen kinds of superalloy materials: some have high melting points, some have low density, some have good ductility, and some have extremely hardness... They have different properties, but their overall performance is far superior to that of the past.
Old materials can be said to cover all walks of life in industry.
As long as there is a need, you can always find the right one. So a large group of engineers are also picking and choosing, spitting out professional terms, they are really excited.
Yu Yifeng couldn't help but sigh that the emergence of this batch of "superalloy" materials has really brought too many possibilities. The development of the subject of materials science has been too slow. It can even be said that it is a bit of luck to invent a material with excellent performance.
It is very difficult to create new materials based on theoretical knowledge alone. Sometimes you also have to rely on luck. It is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack...
However, so many excellent new materials have emerged one after another, which are not only inspired by alien creations, but also the result of the efforts of human scientists themselves.
