Chapter 506: First-order silver, Rockwell hardness and amazing resistivity!
Everyone in the Annihilation Field Experiment Team is busy.
The explosive results of the first experiment made everyone feel very excited and excited. They discovered 39 upgraded elements, and the annihilation force field technology they had indeed mastered was within the scope of the "element upgraded explosion".
"If we can increase the strength of the annihilation force field, we will definitely be able to discover more upgraded elements."
"Even if it is just a doubling of the increase, there may be several elements."
"In the range above 20 times, the element upgrade is the most intensive, so we must seize the experimental opportunity. For the time being, we only have three opportunities..."
Now is the second time.
He Yi, Xiang Qiansheng, Liu Yunli and others all hope to increase the strength of the force field and discover the first-order silver element.
That's very important.
Even if some elements are upgraded, their practical significance is not great, while some elements are different. First-order silver is likely to represent the large-scale application of "near room temperature superconducting metals".
That represents the explosion of technology.
Internationally, it is believed that research in the direction of annihilation force fields can lead to the vigorous development of human science and technology, but so far, relevant research has had little impact on ordinary people.
First-order silver can quickly change all this.
After having the first experimental experience, the second demonstration was relatively faster, taking less than two weeks overall.
They just find out the problems in the first design, and after making certain design improvements, they can take the plan to the cooperative factory for manufacturing.
In fact, some researchers who have just joined the research team are still not sure about the experimental demonstration. They don't understand why they can understand the problem of the first time after the second demonstration.
The first experiment can be said to be quite successful. The design of each part is ultimately reflected in the strength of the annihilation force field created as a whole. So how do you know which part has a problem?
When some people were discussing in private, they were taught by the "old people", "You have to do your own research in this area. In our experimental group, just listen to Academician Wang."
In fact, they don't know the reason.
Not to mention the second experiment, Wang Hao was also in charge of the first experiment, and he finalized the design from details to the whole.
As for the reason...
Hard to say.
These people can only accept the answer "Academician Wang is a genius, and his answer must be correct" with doubts.
In fact, problems in design can still be explained theoretically, and what is related is the morphology of the particles inside the granular material.
The shape of the particles is directly related to the DC anti-gravity design, and is also related to the DC strong annihilation force field. However, the relationship requires very complex calculations to be vaguely deduced.
That kind of calculation is so complicated that it can be compared to calculating the transition temperature of a multi-element composition based on the superconducting semi-topological theory. It is not simply accomplished by humans.
Therefore, it is better to design the argument directly.
A group of people each express their own opinions, feedback the correct information and record it, and then modify the design.
This is the most efficient method.
"Designing the final result, then connecting it with the particle's behavior and deriving its fuzzy relationship will also be very helpful for future experimental design."
Wang Hao was thinking seriously while taking notes.
He has always been in charge of the annihilation force field experimental team, but the future is uncertain. He cannot be in charge of the experimental team for decades.
There will be other people responsible for experiments in the future, and they will definitely hope to produce research results. The records made now are precious experimental data and experience, which can provide help to subsequent researchers.
After completing the design demonstration for the second experiment, we are waiting for the materials to be delivered.
Xiang Qiansheng left with regret.
He will return to the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base and lead the nuclear fusion engineering research team to continue the F-ray generation experiment.
The nuclear fusion engineering research team has urged it several times, and high-level decision-making departments have called specifically to inquire.
Wang Hao thought about it and let him go.
This decision made Xiang Qiansheng very depressed. Compared with the research that the annihilation force field experimental team continued to achieve great results, the repeated F-ray experiments at the nuclear fusion engineering base were really unattractive.
As a result, he could only leave with his luggage.
When leaving, He Yi, Liu Yunli and a group of others laughed and said goodbye, "Professor Xiang, have a nice trip! Don't worry, we will complete your work!"
"Don't worry about this, our research will definitely go smoothly!"
"The nuclear fusion side needs you more!"
"come on!"
“Have a good trip~~~”
Xiang Qiansheng was so angry that he wanted to curse, because they were too familiar with each other, so he could only grit his teeth and get in the car.
He Yi and Liu Yunli also have reasons for doing this.
Because...jealousy!
Previously, Xiang Qiansheng joined the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base with Wang Hao. Everyone involved in the research knew that he was a heavyweight in nuclear fusion research and was directly responsible for directing the experiment.
Regardless of his position, Xiang Qiansheng can be said to be the ‘number two figure in the nuclear fusion experiment’.
This job is certainly enviable.
He Yi and Liu Yunli both felt that they could definitely do it themselves, and they could even do it better, but now the situation is changing.
Faced with research that was about to yield big results, Xiang Qiansheng could only return to the nuclear fusion engineering experimental base alone.
Therefore, it is still necessary to take pleasure in others' misfortunes.
…
Half a month later, the new experimental equipment was completed.
Many researchers work overtime and only have eight hours of fixed rest time every day. They are rushing to install the equipment.
On the day when each part of the test was completed, they couldn't wait to start the experiment.
This time, no leadership team arrived, so the experiment was relatively casual. The equipment was turned on at eight o'clock in the evening.
Wang Hao stood in the safe room next to the experimental room, listening to the test data reported by each team. After confirming that everything was OK, he quickly issued the order, "Let's start!"
"Check the guards."
"He Yi, power on and prepare!"
"Liu Yunli, prepare to deliver materials!"
"Wang Shanqing, prepare for testing..."
After a series of instructions were issued, He Yi made a 'power application', and Wang Hao gave the order and the power was turned on.
A strong annihilation force field was created.
After that came basic field force testing and material delivery. After the timer reached five minutes, Wang Hao immediately announced, "Power off!"
The experiment is over.
Several people next to the experimental equipment looked at the materials in the center of the equipment.
The tin-platinum-lead alloy was quickly transported to the temporary testing room, and the quality and strength of the material surface were quickly determined, and then the results were entered into the computer.
"21.2~24.7!"
Just after Wang Hao left the safe room, he heard the report on the field strength. He couldn't help but frown, "So few?"
He Yi came over with excitement, "The field strength is indeed not ideal, but we have achieved our goal!"
Wang Hao immediately looked over.
He Yi said forcefully, "I just got closer and took a look at the magnetized material. The silver was placed at the very edge. It was almost the same as when it was sent in. It seemed to be a little brighter. The important thing is..."
"It didn't turn black!"
"——!!"
Wang Hao glared hard and understood immediately, "First-order silver?"
"Definitely is!"
"Where are the magnetized materials?" He asked immediately, wanting to get closer and take a look. Even if he took a look from a distance, he could confirm the result.
He Yidao, "It has been sent to the material testing center."
"Walk!"
“Go to the testing center!”
Wang Hao turned around and pulled He Yi towards the testing center.
…
Material Testing Center, Wang Hui Laboratory.
Wang Hui and Zhou Qing have already obtained some magnetized materials, and the most important materials can be sent back to the laboratory.
Silver is one of them.
Wang Hui knew the importance of first-order silver, so he would naturally check the changes of silver first. Just looking at the color, he couldn't help but get excited, "It didn't turn black, the surface color became brighter... This should be a first-order silver."
Is it Jie Yin?”
Zhou Qing also nodded excitedly, "It must be first-level silver."
They couldn't wait to start testing.
The silver material just becomes brighter in color, but its properties have actually changed a lot. Just tap it lightly with a tool, and you will find that the knocked part turns into powder.
They used a high-temperature gun to melt the powder and then solidified it together to get the 'silver nugget' again.
"The volume has shrunk a lot." Wang Hui said, "The density must have also increased a lot. Did you record it just now? What is the melting point?"
Zhou Qingdao, "About 1250 degrees Celsius."
Wang Hui held a silver nugget with tweezers and felt it with a little force. "The hardness has also improved, and not just a little bit. Let's do a Rockwell hardness test."
After completing the hardness experiment, they tested conventional physical properties, including using precision equipment to detect melting point, density, chemical properties, etc.
The routine test took an hour.
Zhou Qing wanted to continue doing the 'conductivity experiment', but he heard the sound of tapping on the glass window. When he turned around, he saw Wang Hao and He Yi standing outside.
He could only suspend the experiment and walked out, "Academician Wang, Academician He, how long have you been waiting?"
A researcher next to me said, "Academician Wang and Academician He have been here for an hour. They were waiting outside at first and just came in."
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it will affect your experiment. What's the result?"
"It's first-level silver!"
Zhou Qing said with certainty, "We have just done a few experiments and we can confirm a few points. First, the density is 14.49, which is 40% higher than conventional silver."
"The melting point is 1239 degrees Celsius, which has also increased a lot."
"The Rockwell hardness is 70 to 105 HRB, which is amazing!"
When talking about the Rockwell hardness data, Zhou Qing nodded very hard and pursed his lips to express surprise, "It's twice as high as the norm!"
"Is it that high?"
"It is indeed very high. We have done two experiments and the data are consistent." Zhou Qing continued, "In terms of chemical properties, it is no different from conventional silver and is relatively stable."
"What about conductivity?" Wang Hao asked.
Zhou Qing said, "I was just about to test the electrical conductivity, but... let Hu Xiuquan's team do it."
"Right……"
If the electrical conductivity of first-order silver is as expected, a professional team must use the most sophisticated equipment to test it.
There is absolutely no point in doing experiments here.
Wang Hao said impatiently, "Contact Hu Xiuquan and ask his team to get the materials for testing."
…
Wang Hui and Zhou Qing conducted routine property testing of first-order silver, and the biggest discovery was the increase in Rockwell hardness. The Rockwell hardness reached 70-105 HRB, which can be said to be 'hard'.
There are several related testing methods for testing metal hardness, including Brinell hardness, Rockwell hardness, Vickers hardness, etc.
Among them, Rockwell hardness is one of the easiest methods.
The Rockwell hardness test is an indentation test method, which measures the depth of the indentation. It means pressing the indenter (a cone or steel ball from a steel mill) into the surface of the sample. After the specified holding time, the main test force is removed and the measurement is performed.
The residual indentation depth increment is used to calculate the hardness value.
The reason why Rockwell hardness is easy to carry out is because of the existence of 'hardness machine'. As long as the experiment is carried out, the hardness data can be read from the hardness machine.
As an elemental metal, 70-105 HRB is already very high.
Among several metals with stable properties such as gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, copper has the highest Rockwell hardness, and the usual hardness range is 45-90 HRB.
The Rockwell hardness of aluminum is second, ranging from 20-60 HRB.
Tools and utensils made of copper and aluminum can already be described as "strong and durable". The hardness of first-order silver in the range of 70-105 HRB exceeds the minimum standard of aluminum.
Of course, compared with close-to-superconducting properties, high hardness is nothing, and may even be counterproductive.
For example, if the hardness is high, it will not be easy to shape.
However, outstanding characteristics in a certain aspect also mean that it has a certain degree of "application explorability". Research can be conducted on it in one direction, and more applications may be realized.
What is currently important is electrical conductivity.
Even though it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, Wang Hao took He Yi to Hu Xiuquan's laboratory, wanting to know the rough data as soon as possible.
After determining that first-order silver was not radioactive, the two even directly participated in the experiment.
soon.
The first experiment is over.
"2.78x 10^(-14)Ω.m?"
Based on the data from various testing instruments, Wang Hao did the calculations himself and finally came up with a jaw-dropping result.
"sure?"
Hu Xiuquan was also stunned. He continued to do calculations and quickly came to the result, "2.78x 10^(-14)? It's really..."
"This data..."
He didn't know how to describe it for a moment, his face turned red with excitement, and his veins popped out, and he immediately shouted with all his strength, "Let's do the next experiment, and the results will be confirmed tonight!"
Everyone in the laboratory also became excited.
They had expectations for the experimental results, because they had previously tested the resistivity of first-order gold and the result was 1.91x 10^(-13)Ω.m.
That is already very amazing data.
Everyone describes it as "almost superconducting". In many application fields, the resistivity of the '10^(-13)' data level can be ignored.
Now it is an even more amazing data. The resistivity is an order of magnitude lower, which means that the resistance is even more negligible.
This is really amazing.
Even without thinking deeply, they all knew that they were participating in an experiment to witness a 'major outcome'.
How important is it?
"This may promote the explosion of technology!"
"It may allow various fields to fully complete cross-era performance upgrades, which may completely change human life..."
