Beidou took the catalog and looked through it carefully.
After watching for a while, Beidou realized something was wrong.
It’s broken and I want to buy a new one, but I don’t have enough money or a boat. What should I do?
“…” Beidou’s face gradually turned red.
"?"
Xinhai looked at Beidou's expression in confusion.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Xinhai asked considerately.
"...No, no, I mean, can I buy it on credit?"
Your Majesty, Prince Yan, she has always adhered to the principle of payment before delivery. This is the first time she has asked for credit.
"Of course, we trust Captain Beidou's credibility, no problem."
Xinhai was a little amused and confused, it turned out to be a credit purchase.
At the dock, Xinhai was still talking to Beidou.
On the other side, several boxes marked with special materials were directly pulled to the Ocean Science and Technology Institute.
Sergei brought his men to open the boxes.
Inside were several bottles of black oil in glass containers, as well as a special ore.
There are labels on it to indicate the categories, such as the location and source of acquisition.
There are also letters at the bottom that explain the basic information that the people who found these things learned.
For example, the ore has a strong affinity for lightning.
"Alright, test these things that are of particular concern right away, and report the results to the Coral Palace as soon as possible. Beile, go next door and find a few people with divine eyes to help."
The researchers, full of enthusiasm, immediately picked up these things and plunged into the laboratory.
With the assistance of the Eye of God, the research progressed very quickly, and a preliminary research report was delivered to the Coral Palace that evening.
The secretary went straight to Jiang Ming's office with the report from the Institute of Oceanology.
"Chief, oil has been discovered!"
Jiang Ming, who was working on revising the 20th version of the plan, paused when he heard this.
He slowly raised his head, put down his pen, and looked at the secretary: "Where?"
Chapter 136 Science Fiction: Superconductor
Jiang Ming was ultimately unable to continue changing the plan.
After reading the report, Jiang Ming found that oil was no longer a factor that could be ranked high.
The reason why he was reported on oil was because he had been paying close attention to it for a long time and everyone around him knew about it.
Now there is still an unexpected surprise.
"…The material samples sent by Mond show excellent conductivity when the temperature is below 358.15K (85°C) under standard atmospheric pressure. It has been confirmed by the holder of the Thunder God's Eye that the material has almost no resistance under the above conditions. When the resistance exceeds this range, it will increase step by step. The specific characteristics need to be further quantified by precision instruments."
This one sentence made Jiang Ming unable to sit still.
Superconductor at room temperature and pressure?
What science fiction movie?
LK99 almost fainted in the toilet!
Jiang Ming first suspected that they had made a mistake, but this was confirmed using the Thunder God's Eye.
The holder of the Thunder God's Eye can control the element of lightning with precision down to the electronic level, so he won't make mistakes even for such a small matter.
At this moment, Jiang Ming and his men drove straight to the Ocean University of China.
After asking for the location and arriving at the scene, I found that it was Xavier who was leading the various tests, while Sergei brought a group of researchers to watch Xavier's team repeatedly conducting various tests on the material.
The ore-like material has been divided into several pieces, and different experiments are being carried out on each piece.
At the scene, the holders of the seven different colors of God's Eye were all present.
Although he didn't know what the grass-type could do.
The crowd that gathered tightly together burst into exclamations from time to time.
It seems that this new material has attracted a lot of attention.
"Sergey, what's going on?"
Jiang Ming struggled to squeeze into the crowd and found Sergei despite the dissatisfaction of several researchers.
"Huh? You're here so fast? It seems our new car is very fast."
"Stop talking about your car. Its comfort, safety, and handling all need to be improved. Let's get down to business."
"Well, that's it now."
Sergei pointed to the site where Xavier and his team were conducting experiments.
"The temperature range is almost the same as in the report. There is no change after multiple rounds of testing, but there is pressure."
Sergei pointed at the two people who were using the wind and fire divine eyes.
"We found no effect when the pressure was lowered, but when the pressure was increased, the temperature range of zero resistance would be expanded. We have currently tested up to 402K."
Jiang Ming looked at the scene in front of him and could only utter "outrageous" after a long while.
"Have you detected any magnetic levitation or anything like that?"
"You mean this?"
Sergei picked up a small piece of tin ingot and placed it above the sample material next to it.
The iron ingot just floats in the air.
"..."
Well, with magnetic levitation and the confirmation of the Thunder God's Eye, there is a high probability that he can't escape.
"To be honest, I might not have cared about it before, thinking that a copper wire would be enough. But after seeing all kinds of projects that were stuck due to unsatisfactory materials, I realized the importance of this material that has a unique effect on electricity. It came at the right time."
"Speaking of which, since this material can make metals levitate, if we make it bigger, can we send the entire island, or even the entire Fontaine, into the sky?"
Even though people have been forced to come to Haige Island, they still can't forget to deal with Fontaine's predicted crisis. Sergei began to think about the feasibility of the superconducting magnetic levitation version of Fontaine's space flight plan.
For Sergei, his personal situation within the Fontaine Academy was one thing; trying to find a way to deal with the crisis of prophecy was another matter that went a level higher than that, beyond his personal future.
The two are not in the same dimension at all.
Jiang Ming didn't object, as he had to have a share of the results anyway.
However, it was undoubtedly too early to think about sending a country into space just after discovering superconducting materials. Jiang Ming interrupted his thoughts.
"Forget about your plan to go to space. Tell me first, can you replicate this material on a large scale?"
"Not at this moment." Sergei shook his head decisively.
"According to the description sent back by Mond, this is a product of alchemy, and the specific processing process is unknown. Whether it can be replicated depends on the alchemist's operation method. If it is not so rare and special, it should be feasible. We can ask the scholars of the Order to study it. I remember that they have experts in alchemy."
"I see. Also, have you found anything about oil?"
Sergei tossed Jiang Ming a small bottle containing a sip of clear yellow liquid.
"Well, this is a little sample made from distillation. Its combustion performance is indeed excellent. However, if it is used as engine fuel as you said, well..." Sergei thought for a moment.
"It shouldn't be difficult to design the cylinders you described, but compared with the motor, it seems unnecessary, especially with the new materials. In addition, we also found that the characteristics of the residue after distillation are also very interesting, and its use needs further study."
"Asphalt can be used to make some industrial products and pave roads. In addition, as a fuel, it actually has some other uses besides internal combustion engines..."
Jiang Ming was thinking about something like a jet engine.
They seem to have all the qualifications.
The researchers at Fontaine have excellent mechanical design capabilities, and their latest experimental high-carbon crystal steel has explosive performance.
It seems to make sense if you think about it. Ordinary tin with a little crystal is much stronger than the high-carbon steel that is widely used on Earth. If we replace it with a stronger basic material, what will happen?
Although no one has figured out why adding crystals makes things stronger, as if it is a metaphysical question, the experimental results are indeed true.
Anyway, it doesn't prevent them from using it.
He now seemed to understand a little bit how Kan Ruiya had made the one-eyed giant treasure as big as a mountain.
Energy comes from the abyss, materials include the heaven-defying metaphysical materials of Teyvat, and there may also be enchantments and other methods to add buffs, so for the rest, isn’t it just hands?
Sergei looked at Jiang Ming in surprise.
Never mind, it’s normal for this person to be well-informed. After all, he is the father of electricity and his identity is mysterious.
"We plan to try to use catalysts to increase production efficiency. After we have built the database in a couple of days, we will try to search it to see if we can find anything useful in the information."
"database?"
Jiang Ming seemed to hear some words that didn't belong here.
"Yes, the Fontaine Scientific Research Institute shared a batch of technologies with us. They modified a batch of disks, which use electricity and are compatible with our interfaces. The technical data is stored in these disks. They also gave us two terminals."
Jiang Ming looked at Sergei with a puzzled look on his face, only to see him walk to a strange-looking machine, tap a few buttons, and then pull a lever.
After a strange noise, the machine spit out a pile of paper with holes punched in it.
Wow, it’s like dreaming back to the fifties!
Chapter 137 LAN & Internet
"… Is this what you rely on?"
Jiang Ming remembered that he first learned about this thing at the Red Coast Base in the third episode.
Looking at the densely packed holes on it, it makes people wonder how long it would take to type out a paper with this thing? How long would it take to parse and decipher it?
"Not really. In fact, I have added the latest pattern recognition, transcoding, and encoder to it, and also prepared the latest automatic typewriter. Once I debug it, I can connect these two machines, and it should only take half a minute to type out an ordinary paper."
Jiang Ming looked at the punched paper on the ground with doubt.
Should he consider developing something like a display device?
The magic from Liyue can be projected directly. Why don't we study the principle and see if we can use it directly?
I'll tell Liyue about it someday and they'll look into it.
"Anyway, as long as it works, it's fine. The electrical signal transmission that Turing developed is quite useful. We are now planning to connect these two terminals and the equipment that we will use throughout the institute so that they can transmit data to each other. This will be convenient for us to use. But before that, I have to expand the transmission bandwidth, otherwise it may not be able to support so many project teams to use it at the same time."
Facing Jiang Ming's suspicious gaze, Sergei responded.
Oh boy, a local area network, huh?
"Have you ever thought about making this thing a little bigger?"
"what?"
"Connect the devices together and let them transmit data to each other. This way, we can expand the range to the entire Haiji Island, and even to the neighboring Yayun Island."
Sergei thought about it for a moment.
"It's not impossible. It's just a matter of pulling two more wires. But, without the Academy of Sciences' database, what use is it?"
"This is very useful."
Sergei still has historical limitations.
Do you know about the information revolution?
Jiang Ming suddenly remembered that Turing's group was studying wired signal transmission and had already achieved results.
So……
"Have you studied radio? Radio wave transmission?"
Sergey was stunned for a moment, then replied: "Yes, it's very basic. It can only transmit one or two words per second within a range of less than three meters. It has no practical value for the time being."
Okay, there really is one.
