Chapter 372



Chapter 377 Research On Degenerate Materials

Xinghai Science and Technology Institute of Materials Science.

“Boss, what wind brought you to me?”

Chen Jing, the head of the Institute of Materials Science, was one of the very few female scientists in many research institutes at the time. She also entered Xinghai Technology as soon as she graduated, and then gradually bloomed in Xinghai Technology, and was constantly promoted. Now she is only in her 20s. He is already a Level 3 scientist and the head of the Institute of Materials Science.

Chen Jingren is relatively average in length, but has an excellent temperament. He has a very prominent scholar and scientist temperament, and because he has achieved such great achievements at a young age, he is also very confident.

This has also led to Chen Jing not getting married until now, not even a boyfriend.

There are a lot of people chasing her, and the Institute of Materials Science alone has a lot of them, but she didn’t like it. She has high requirements. It is said that she wants to find someone who is the same as Liu Yuan.

People need to be handsome, and they also need to be engaged in scientific research. The key is to be a genius, and to have a high IQ, so as to be worthy of her.

That’s why she’s been single all the time.

There are not no people who meet her requirements. As soon as a large number of talented young scientists at the Xinghai Research Institute are caught, many of them are like her. They are already third-level scientists at a young age, and they are the heads of a research institute.

Like Wang Wei, Xu Zilong, Wang Chen, Zhou Tong, Ran Hao, Wan Hanrui, etc., all of them are talented and excellent scientists in their 20s, and they are also the senior management of Xinghai Technology and an important person in charge of the research institute.

However, all of these people are golden tortoise sons-in-law. I don’t know how popular they are. There are many people chasing after each of them. I don’t know how many beautiful women there are. The family background of the few people is also quite good.

There is no way, all of them are young and promising, or scientists. The key is that the income here in Xinghai Technology is very high. The income of several small goals a year, or even a dozen small goals, is properly multi-talented and rich.

In addition, after Liu Yuan’s use of genetic drugs to develop the brain and body, all of them have become tall, handsome and sunny. This is definitely a hot commodity.

They are all very picky, and it is not easy to find a girlfriend or marry a wife. Although Chen Jing is good in all aspects, her appearance is flawed. Even after the optimization and transformation of genetic optimization fluid, her appearance still remains. Not a beautiful woman, she has been single all the time.

“Come and see the research on degenerate materials.”

Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Then he said to Chen Jing: “You are not too young, should you find someone?”

“Don’t be too picky, it’s enough to find one in our research institute.”

“Boss, you think everyone is the same as you. You are a father at the age of eighteen.”

Chen Jing is speechless, her boss is obviously her ideal partner, but Liu Yuan is a big radish, there are women in the family, and there are rumors that there are several outside, I heard that they have given birth to several children. .

“,,,, cough, my situation is special, my situation is special.”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately touched his nose and smiled awkwardly.

“What’s so special, you men, they all look the same, and there is no good thing.”

Chen Jing pouted and said.

The boss is indeed very attractive, and when you get along with him, you will always be obsessed with him unconsciously, but when he thinks of Liu Yuan, a big radish, he immediately despises him fiercely.

“There are still good men. There are many, many in our Academy of Sciences. Don’t ask too much. It is important to do research. It is also important to fall in love, get married and have children. Life is like this, and nothing is perfect. ”

Liu Yuan smiled awkwardly and said.

Although he is a scumbag, there is nothing he can do about it, whether Dong Feifei, Li Dan, Li Xue, and Li Hanqing can’t end it, so he can only go on like this.

If Liu Yuan is really interested in radishes, then it is estimated that there are not many women. After all, they want money and money, and they need to be handsome and handsome. Until now, there are still many, many people who take the initiative to rely on Liu Yuan.

“Why do you feel boss, you’re a mother-in-law like an old man? I’m not in a hurry for you.”

Chen Jing is speechless. The boss Liu Yuan is in charge of his own marriage and childbirth. If it weren’t for his own boss, Chen Jing would have wanted to scold Liu Yuan, the big pig’s hoof. .

I am only in my 20s now, and I still have two years left before my thirties, which is still very early.

“Okay, let’s talk about the study of degenerate materials.”

Liu Yuan smiled, it seemed really inappropriate for him to urge marriage like this.

In this era, a large number of people in their 30s and 40s are unmarried and have children. Everyone pays attention to the pursuit of self-worth and improvement, and is afraid of marriage and childbirth. Chen Jing is in her twenties, still very young and accomplished. For a person like her, the requirements for love are very high, and marriage is not a necessity for her.

“Currently, the progress is very unsatisfactory.”

“We’ve tried all sorts of things, but we haven’t been able to make a degenerate material.”

“Degenerate materials are materials created from an atomic point of view. With our current technology, I think we can give up this research without wasting time, money and manpower on it.”

Speaking of work, Chen Jing immediately became serious.

I began to report to Liu Yuan in detail on the research on degenerate materials, and finally came to the conclusion that the current technology has not developed enough to produce degenerate materials.

“Despite the development of scientists’ technology, it seems that we can artificially synthesize materials at the atomic scale, such as atomic clusters, cluster materials, linear chains, multilayer heterostructures, ultrathin films and so on.”

“These materials are characterized by low dimensionality, small symmetry, and significant geometrical features.”

“But this is only possible. When it is actually operated, it is difficult for us to truly create the materials we need from the atomic point of view.”

“The unit of atom is really too small. At most, the current science and technology can only reach the nanometer level, and the atom is much smaller than the nanometer.”

First of all, let’s talk about the size of atoms and nanometers. Nanometers are a type of unit of length. One nanometer is one billionth of a meter.

1 nanometer is equal to the length of 10 hydrogen atoms arranged side by side, but the size and diameter of each type of atom are different, so 1 nanometer may be equal to the arrangement length of dozens of atoms of other elements.

20 nanometers is about one third of the diameter of a human hair.

The so-called nanotechnology refers to the study of the specific phenomena and specific functions of matter at the nanoscale, in the range of 100 nanometers to 1 nanometer, and the creation of new materials by directly manipulating and arranging atoms and molecules. technology.

Usually, when scientists study nanotechnology, they need to use a scanning tunneling microscope. This scanning tunneling microscope can magnify ten million times, allowing scientists to study the microscopic world at the nanoscale.

Since the 1990s, nanotechnology has developed rapidly, and new fields of scientists such as nanoelectronics, nanomaterials, nanomechanics, nanobiology, etc. Breakthroughs and major scientific research achievements.

Like the field of chips, it belongs to the field of nanoelectronics, and it is also thanks to technological breakthroughs that it is possible to manufacture chips of a few nanometers, allowing the rapid development of computer technology.

“Although in the last century, scientists have used probes to move xenon atoms on the surface of metal nickel for combination, and some scientists have moved graphite, silicon atoms, sulfur atoms, iron atoms, etc., and even put out All kinds of pictures.”

“But this is only limited to very small scales, where the number of atoms can be counted, and they are all on the nanometer scale.”

“And it’s just a very simple movement, and it’s limited to showing the arrangement of some atoms, so that the material acquires some special capabilities.”

“It is still unrealistic to manufacture degenerate materials, and there is still a huge gap. The biggest problem is that there is no way to manufacture them on a large scale and in large quantities.”

Chen Jing shook her head as she spoke.

As a scientist and authority in the field of materials science, she is all too aware of the development of materials science.

Scientists at Xinghai Technology can also move some atoms in a small amount to make certain arrangements, but they want to create degenerate materials.

In Chen Jing’s view, it is still unrealistic, so don’t waste manpower, material resources and time.

“Hmm~”

After listening carefully, Liu Yuan nodded in agreement. It is indeed not an easy task to create materials from an atomic perspective, especially with current technology.

If it is a powerful civilization in the interstellar universe, it is completely possible to mine white dwarfs and neutron stars, and directly obtain a large amount of huge degenerate materials.

There are also civilizations that master space technology, which can directly use space compression technology to compress planets, asteroids, etc. into degenerate materials, and produce degenerate materials in large quantities and on a large scale.

For the current Xinghai Technology, it is not easy to manufacture degenerate materials, but it is not impossible.

“Maybe it will not be possible to make degenerate materials until the breakthrough of magnetic energy technology.”

Liu Yuan thought of magnetic energy technology. For low-level civilizations in the universe, it is obviously unrealistic to mine white dwarf neutron stars. This is even less obvious when using space technology. To make degenerate materials, a more feasible way is to use magnetic energy. Technology that uses powerful magnetic fields to affect atoms and create degenerate materials.

In addition, other technologies are difficult to fabricate degenerate materials on a large scale.

pS: Technology is really a systematic and comprehensive thing. Only breakthroughs in all aspects can lead to quantitative changes and qualitative changes~ I just don’t know when we will be able to truly enter the era of interstellar universe~
