Xinghan National Institute of Materials Science, when Ren Qing saw Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang, he also smiled and asked.
Materials science is the foundation of all disciplines and is a very important subject. However, Qin Yi rarely visits the Institute of Materials Science, which makes Ren Qing very dissatisfied. He feels that Qin Yi is not interested in the Institute of Materials Science.
Bian doesn't pay much attention to it.
Of course, this is not that Qin Yi does not pay attention to it. On the contrary, Qin Yi has always attached great importance to materials research. He wants money to give money and people to give others, and spares no effort to provide support.
The reason why there are so few is the early stage of materials science research, which is actually a process of continuous accumulation. In simple terms, it means constantly throwing money into it, allowing scientists to continue to experiment and study various materials.
, such as alloy materials.
This requires huge funds to be poured in, allowing scientists to continuously experiment with various ratios and then develop a variety of new materials.
What this requires is constant investment and experimentation. There is no big technology or too profound theory. Unlike other research institutes, Qin Yi needs to visit frequently, stroll around, and give guidance.
This will enable rapid progress and rapid development.
Therefore, Qin Yi rarely comes to the Institute of Materials Science, but this does not mean that Qin Yi does not pay attention to it.
However, in Ren Qing's view, Qin Yi didn't pay much attention to other research institutes and research disciplines, but Qin Yi would visit them every two days to take a look and give some opinions.
Therefore, results are constantly emerging, and many new people are constantly emerging and rising, becoming emerging stars in the scientific community of Xinghan.
On the other hand, the Institute of Materials Science seems like a pool of stagnant water, seemingly calm, with no special achievements and no particularly outstanding talents emerging. This makes the person in charge here, Ren Qing, very dissatisfied.
Especially sometimes when we have meetings, Lu Qingwei, a big-tailed wolf, will boast to the sky as long as he has some achievements. When the various research schools are ranked, the Institute of Materials Science is at the bottom every time, and he can't lose face.
ah.
“I haven’t been here for a long time, so I came over to have a look~”
Qin Yi touched his nose and said, "Ren Qing is the only one who still calls himself boss."
"It's been a long time since I've been here. My big boss, you haven't been here for a few years. I've already forgotten about our Institute of Materials Science."
Ren Qing rolled his eyes at Qin Yi, which made Qin Yi even more embarrassed. As for Liu Peiqiang on the side, he suppressed his smile.
Among the earliest scientists of the Galaxy Technology Group, there were very few female scientists, and the only one who was famous was Ren Qing. Her status was said to be quite special.
Whether it was him, the person in charge, or Qin Yi, the big boss, when asking for money or people, they were so confident that neither of them could do anything about it. Even if it exceeded part of the budget, they would still have to approve it.
Of course, under her leadership, the Institute of Materials Science is also booming. Various new materials are emerging one after another. On the one hand, it meets the needs of scientific development, and on the other hand, it has accumulated and cultivated a huge materials research team.
You must know that when we were on earth, China's science and technology was good in all aspects, but it was very poor in the field of materials science, which seriously restricted the development of high-precision fields.
Take aircraft engines for example. In fact, everyone knows the technical principles and there is no profound theory at all, but the engines produced are vastly different.
The thrust-to-weight ratio of a good engine can reach 1:10, that is, a one-ton engine can produce 10 tons of thrust. In addition to its own weight, the remaining 9 tons can be given to the aircraft.
As for a poor engine, its thrust-to-weight ratio is only 1:5. The thrust it can give to the aircraft is very poor, and its lifespan is also worrying. An advanced engine can fly for thousands of hours, but a poor engine can fly for hundreds of hours.
There's going to be a problem.
The key and core is nothing else but materials.
The gap in the field of basic materials has led to a huge gap in this cutting-edge field. From here we can know the importance of materials science. It can be said to be the foundation of almost all scientific fields. This foundation naturally determines the height of the superstructure.
Regarding this area, Qin Yi has been reluctant to spend money since the days of Galaxy Technology Group. If he does not lay a solid foundation, future development in many aspects will be restricted. This is not what Qin Yi wants.
It is not only necessary to research a variety of materials, but more importantly, it is necessary to cultivate a large team of materials science research, and to apply many technologies and new materials in materials science to social and economic development. Only in this way can we
This can be regarded as laying a solid foundation.
"Tell me, what did you want to see when you came here today?"
Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to visit the Institute of Materials Science, asking questions as they walked.
“Let’s look at the research on degenerate materials.”
Qin Yi thought for a while and said.
Qin Yi is not in the mood to look at general materials now. The most important thing is to see the research status of degenerate materials. This is the most important thing.
"I knew you came here to ask about degenerate materials."
Ren Qing seemed to have already anticipated Qin Yi's purpose of coming, and took the two of them directly to the Degenerate Materials Research Center.
The Degenerate Materials Research Center is the latest research center established at the Institute of Materials Science, but it is the most important research center of the entire Institute of Materials Science and is also the focus of research by many scientists now.
"Degenerate materials are really difficult, and we still haven't made substantial progress yet."
Arriving at the Degenerate Materials Research Center, Ren Qing also sighed and said.
As a master scientist in the field of materials science, she is very aware of how difficult it is to realize degenerate materials. Although scientists can now move atoms to form a new atomic layer on the surface of the material, this atomic layer is only a planar structure.
, cannot be regarded as a degenerate material.
And more importantly, this is only an operation performed in the laboratory, and it cannot be applied on a large scale, because the speed of moving atoms one by one is too slow and the atoms are too small.
Apart from anything else, there are countless atoms that need to be moved in an area the size of a fingernail. This efficiency is too slow and has no substantial significance.
What's more, truly degenerate materials still require arranging atoms from a three-dimensional perspective, which is even more difficult.
The road to degenerate materials is indeed long and arduous.
"What are your current ideas?"
After Qin Yi heard this, he nodded slightly, then thought about it and asked.
"Currently we have three main ideas to create degenerate materials. One is to use high temperature and high pressure. We simulate the strong pressure and terrible high temperature inside the planet, and use this method to create degenerate materials."
"This is also based on the process of diamond formation. Diamond is formed under high temperature and high pressure in the interstellar environment, so we think this idea may also be feasible."
"Another idea is to use a strong magnetic field to create degenerate materials. This was inspired by Jupiter's strong magnetic field that can tear apart stars. We believe that as long as the magnetic field is strong enough, we can use it to form degenerate materials.
"
"The last idea is that we use gravity technology to create degenerate materials. These degenerate materials are actually similar to neutron stars, and they are all materials created from an atomic perspective."
"We all know that this neutron star is formed by the collapse of a massive star at the end of its life, so we want to use strong gravity to compress the material to form degenerate material."
"But this also failed. The gravity generating devices we created are getting more and more powerful, but we still cannot create degenerate materials."
Ren Qing thought for a while and slowly spoke out the three current research ideas at the Degenerate Materials Research Center.
In the manufacture of degenerate materials, the first thing that needs to be broken through is theory. Without strong theoretical support, there is no research direction. Scientists are now like headless flies, constantly experimenting with one method after another, but every time
None of the roads work.
No matter what we do, there is never a way to create degenerate materials.
"Let's go and take a detailed look at the progress of your three research ideas."
When Qin Yi heard this, he immediately became interested.
Regarding degenerate materials, the Science and Technology Tower naturally has very detailed content. Naturally, there are also methods for manufacturing degenerate materials. There are many methods, such as space compression, gravity compression, magnetic field compression, etc. Many methods are
Very lofty.
Among the three methods mentioned by Ren Qing, the method and idea of using magnetic field and gravity to create degenerate materials is actually very good. As long as the right path is found, it is still possible to create such degenerate materials.
As for the method of space compression to create degenerate materials, it is simply not realistic at present. This is a method for advanced cosmic civilizations and requires extremely powerful research on space technology.
Soon, Ren Qing took Qin Yi and Liu Peiqiang to each laboratory, listened in detail to the scientists' research status and research progress, and understood the current situation clearly.
"Why haven't you thought about concentrating and constraining this magnetic field or gravity? Just like light, the power of a beam of light is naturally limited, but if countless rays of light are gathered, constrained, and concentrated on a point,
Its power is naturally incomparable."
"Whether it's magnetic field or gravity, why don't we try to constrain it and concentrate it?"
After clarifying the situation and progress of the research, Qin Yi thought about it and put forward his own suggestions.
