Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 446 Technology presses the accelerator button!

"I thought about it last night, and finally thought that we could consider adding the structural idea of ​​nanocrystals on the basis of the previous material structure. This can further improve the properties of the material and make the material closer to the properties of the space elevator. Require……"

Listening to Ning Chen's explanation, the expressions of other people in the laboratory were constantly changing, and they were amazed by Ning Chen's unconstrained ideas.

The great thing about Ning Chen is not only that he can always think of ideas that others cannot think of, but what is even more valuable is that these ideas of Ning Chen are very rigorous and consistent with various theories, rather than just some imagination. .

Everyone knows that following Ning Chen's thinking, it is very possible to make materials with better properties by modifying the structure of materials.

"Teacher Ning, this idea is really perfect! This time we will definitely be able to produce materials that meet our requirements. I can't wait to start new work!"

Xu Zhou was particularly excited, and such excitement also appeared in other members of the laboratory.

Pierce once again marveled at Ning Chen's amazing achievements in materials science. Before that, Pierce was the person in charge of the synthesis of nanowire materials. Logically speaking, Pierce should be the one who knows the most about nanowire materials. .

But in fact, Ning Chen had already understood this technology before Pierce, and only deliberately handed over this work to Pierce. The purpose was to allow Pierce to personally fight back on this matter, so that Pierce could deal with the previous Relief from what happened.

In terms of the actual ability of materials science, the gap between Pierce and Ning Chen is extremely huge. Even if Pierce is compared with Ning Chen in the field in which he is best at, there is no comparability between the two.

However, this kind of psychological gap did not last long for Pierce. Soon Pierce understood that it was an honor for him to have the opportunity to compare with Ning Chen.

If he hadn't come to Ning Chen's side, Pierce might still be a materials expert now, but he wouldn't be able to participate in some of the world's top materials research projects like he is now. Instead, he could only work in a small field. If you conduct research, you can only achieve a small reputation in materials science at best.

Even because of that incident, if Ning Chen hadn't tried his best to help him, I'm afraid Pierce and his mother would have bid farewell to this world, instead of being able to happily carry out scientific research like they are now.

Thinking of these, Pierce's heart was filled with happiness and he was willing to do anything he could for Ning Chen.

After determining the new experimental idea, Ning Chen and others immediately started the new experiment.

This time, Ning Chen was more fully prepared than before and was bound to succeed in the experiment.

Ning Chen's high-spirited state also had a good impact on other members of the laboratory. Under Ning Chen's leadership, the subsequent experiments were conducted very efficiently.

Finally, with the joint efforts of the entire experimental team, everyone successfully completed the transformation of the nanofilament material. By adding carbon fiber and nanocrystals, the macroscopic properties of the entire material can very well meet the requirements of space elevator materials. .

"Teacher Ning, after our detailed measurements, this new carbon fiber nanocrystalline material is undoubtedly very successful. Whether it is the density, strength, plasticity or toughness of the material, it perfectly meets the goals we set at the beginning. If If there are no accidents, this material will be enough for us to complete the manufacturing of the space elevator..."

Xuzhou was also very excited about this conclusion, because according to their test results, all properties of the new carbon fiber nanocrystal material exceeded the predetermined standards by at least 10%. This performance is undoubtedly very impressive. Amazed.

"Yes, we are indeed very satisfied with the progress of this research. The work we have completed during this period can be said to have far exceeded my previous expectations. I also feel that this material can basically be determined to be The materials we later used to build the space elevator..."

Although the location of this project has not yet been determined, the materials selected are not yet determined, but Ning Chen also knows that it will be difficult for them to find materials with better properties than this.

While Ning Chen was discussing these things with everyone, Xiaozhi's message suddenly came to Ning Chen's mind.

[Reporting to the owner, Xiaozhi reminds the owner that he may have received important information. Do you want to check this information immediately? 】

After receiving this reminder message from Xiaozhi, Ning Chen realized that this should be a very important matter, because every reminder from Xiaozhi before had met this rule without exception, and Ning Chen felt that this time it would definitely not be the case. You will let yourself down.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen temporarily left the materials science laboratory with an excuse and returned to his office, preparing to learn more about this situation.

After returning to his office, Ning Chen followed Xiaozhi's prompts and found the source of the news.

"It turns out that the message was sent by Academician Yue Jiafeng. From the looks of it, it should be the latest progress in the space elevator project that Xingchen Technology applied for."

Although Yue Jiafeng did not disclose anything too specific in the news, Ning Chen had already guessed the general situation.

Ning Chen had previously discussed with Yue Jiafeng about the location for the construction of the space elevator. It has been a long time now. No matter whether the location that Ning Chen is most satisfied with can successfully build the space elevator, there will eventually be a result. of.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen contacted Yue Jiafeng with a little nervousness.

As usual, after receiving Ning Chen's call, Yue Jiafeng answered Ning Chen's call immediately and communicated with Ning Chen.

Yue Jiafeng has maintained a high degree of consistency in his attitude towards Ning Chen for so many years. Yue Jiafeng's promise to communicate with Ning Chen at any time 24 hours a day has been well fulfilled over the years.

"Academician Yue, I just saw the message you sent me. Has there been any result on the location selection of the space elevator?"

"Yes, Academician Ning, it's just as you guessed. During this period, we have been working hard to seek cooperation with the locals on this matter. The difficulty of this task is even far greater than we imagined. In order to make the local people willing to accept this project, we tried various methods. Fortunately, the final result was good..."

Listening to Yue Jiafeng's story, Ning Chen realized how difficult this matter was. Before this, Ning Chen had only imagined that the local area might not cooperate with this matter and refused to agree to build a space elevator here.

After all, this is a very complex high-tech project. No matter who it is, it will definitely consider it seriously, and it is reasonable to choose to refuse cooperation in the end.

Ning Chen had also been mentally prepared for a long time. In the worst case, he would have to change the location for the construction of a space elevator. Anyway, there were several other locations, which Ning Chen was relatively satisfied with.

But Ning Chen didn't expect that Yue Jiafeng and the others would work so hard on this matter and use this method to help him realize his dream.

"Academician Yue, thank you very much for your efforts during this period! Xingchen Technology will definitely complete the construction of the space elevator successfully, and your efforts will never be in vain."

"Hey, Academician Ning, you seem to be too foreign. The space elevator project is not just your goal. It is a major event related to the entire Blue Star civilization. In terms of technology, we can't help you. If you provide too much help, you can only do your best on other things..."

Facing Ning Chen's heartfelt thanks, Yue Jiafeng said that it was nothing. After all, the work he had done could be completely replaced by others, but when it came to technical issues, only Ning Chen could completely solve it. solution.

After confirming that there were no problems with the site selection, Ning Chen and Yue Jiafeng chatted about their recent experimental progress.

"Academician Yue, our experimental group has recently successfully developed a new material. This material is based on the previous nanowire material and adds carbon fiber and nanocrystal technology. This makes this new material very suitable for space elevators. The material requirements also show very good strength and lightness in the macroscopic state..."

Hearing that Ning Chen's experiment had made such significant progress, Yue Jiafeng seemed very excited and quickly became concerned about the details of the experiment.

"Academician Ning, so this new material is an improvement from the material used to attack you before? This is really a bit of a dumbfounding thing."

"Yeah, I didn't expect so much at the time. I just tried to find ways to make up for the impact of this incident. Of course, this material is indeed a material with very excellent properties. It can be used to its best advantage. It’s a good thing…”

Mentioning the frightening incident that happened a few years ago, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but be concerned about Ning Chen's recent safety issues.

"Academician Ning, since that incident happened, have you encountered anything similar that threatened your safety?"

Hearing Yue Jiafeng's question, Ning Chen quickly denied it with a smile:
"Don't worry, Academician Yue, since that incident, my life has never been threatened again. The biggest blow to me during this period was the quantum ghost incident, but this is also It only threatens the information transmission security of Xingchen Technology, but it is far from threatening my personal safety..."

Knowing that Ning Chen's safety situation was not a problem, Yue Jiafeng felt a little more at ease, but Yue Jiafeng still did not completely relax his vigilance.

"Academician Ning, you have to know that you have now attracted the attention of people all over the world. Although most of them support and admire you, it is not ruled out that there are a very small number of extremist organizations and individuals who will have some objections to you. A dangerous idea. And... the organization that was planning to attack you has not been completely wiped out yet."

Ning Chen naturally understood Yue Jiafeng's worries about her, and Ning Chen never lost this high degree of vigilance. Even when he was on the Sci-Fi Island, Ning Chen still took advantage of Xiaozhi's safety. Protective function to ensure your personal safety in real time.

"Don't worry, Academician Yue, I will definitely be responsible for my own safety. And...those who have attacked me, sooner or later I will find them all."

Ning Chen is not a person who spends money and money, but he is definitely not a person who accepts the situation. Ning Chen did not try his best to pursue those people before, but Ning Chen still had more important things to deal with.

As long as Ning Chen is given time, Ning Chen can completely let these ill-intentioned people receive the punishment they deserve.

"Okay, since Academician Ning said so, I won't nag anymore. After all the subsequent procedures are completed, our workers can go to the site and officially start the construction of the space elevator."

Although Ning Chen knew that going to the scene involved certain risks because it involved going abroad, Ning Chen would definitely go to the scene to guide the construction of the space elevator.

For such a major project, if Ning Chen couldn't even go to the site, Ning Chen would definitely not be able to relax. After Ning Chen continued to explore technology, Ning Chen would no longer worry about what he would do if he went abroad. will be subject to serious security threats.

With Ning Chen's current abilities, even if a nuclear bomb were to explode, Ning Chen would be able to deal with it in advance without suffering any harm.

Of course, such an extreme situation will definitely not occur easily. After all, such a move will cause too serious consequences, and no one will make such a dangerous move easily.

…………

As time passed day by day, various construction procedures related to the space elevator were completed one by one.

Although the news about the space elevator has not been officially announced to the public, some people have learned about Star Technology's plan based on some gossipy information.

This landmark project has also aroused very heated discussions.

"I heard that Xingchen Technology is about to build a space elevator project. I didn't expect that this technology that only exists in science fiction movies will appear in the real world so soon."

"Yeah, I always feel like the technological development of Blue Star Civilization in the past few years has suddenly been pushed on the accelerator button."
