Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 181 10 yuan per gram, the most expensive metal

Having said that, Lin Wei handed a transparent glass ball to Zhong Cheng.

As soon as he let go, the glass ball the size of three eggs was suspended in the air.

"This?!"

Zhong Cheng was shocked, it was so unscientific!

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Zhong Cheng's expression, Lin Wei laughed happily.

"It's just normal anti-radiation glass, you look carefully at a small dot in the middle."

Zhong Cheng moved closer to the glass ball, and sure enough there was a small silver-white metal ball the size of a needlepoint in the center.

"Is this the space metal?"

"Well, don't look at it, it's only so big, but it's more than twice as heavy as gold, and it's also hundreds of times more expensive."

Zhong Cheng was even more surprised. The scene in front of him completely violated his common sense.

"What's the matter, this hollow metal can still fly by itself? No, it can also carry a glass ball weighing more than 100 grams?"

Yang Xi then explained: "It's not that benzium-air metals can fly, it's because superheavy elements are highly radioactive and can form their own field space."

"We can see the benzium-space metal because its proton number 126 is a stable magic number, and its neutron number is 184, and 184 is also a magic number. Its atomic nucleus forms the most stable double magic nucleus, and its half-life Up to a million years."

"The elements No. 124 and No. 125, which are lighter than it, can't be compared with the half-life of only a few milliseconds."

"So it's relatively inactive, but the energy level is very high, which is pretty amazing."

"As long as it is powered on, the field it forms can ignore the effect of the gravitational field before the power is exhausted, and the gravitational field will also lose its effect within a certain range around it."

"So we can see a glass ball floating in the air, but it will fall in a few minutes."

Zhong Cheng was shocked. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"This!"

"If this is used on a large spacecraft, it would be so cool!"

Zhong Cheng didn't know how to describe it.

Lin Wei took Yang Xi's words and continued:
"This is not the most important thing. We also gave it a chemical symbol Ko, which can also be called Ko-310. It also has another characteristic. Adding a small amount of it to the alloy material can greatly improve the strength of the alloy material. material properties."

"The hardness and toughness of metal materials have been greatly improved, and the high temperature resistance has been improved even more exaggeratedly. I have tried the new hafnium-air hafnium alloy, and it has increased from the original hafnium alloy's melting point of 4215°C to more than 2°C, and there is still an improvement space."

"Hahaha!"

Zhong Cheng also laughed excitedly. With this benzium-310, the new imbalance between energy and materials caused by the emergence of controllable nuclear fusion technology will be balanced again.

This kind of 钅kong-310 is a sharp weapon tailored for his future space career!
But Yang Xi poured a basin of cold water on Zhong Cheng at the right time.

"However, the synthesis of benzium-310 is too difficult, the conditions are very harsh, and the energy consumption is huge, and there is no alternative method at all. If it is put into practical use, the output may be very limited."

"I did some calculations, and even if one gram of Bronium-310 could be mass-produced, the cost would be more than 10 yuan."

"laugh!"

Zhong Cheng was shocked again. He knew that this thing would be expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageously expensive.

He calmed down and asked, "What's going on, Lin Wei, tell me how you found out?"

Only when he understands the specific process can he have a say in the manufacturing process.

Lin Wei smiled, and pointed to Ye Wenxin who had been silent for a long time, "This is thanks to your wife, she was the first to discover it."

"Oh?!"

Zhong Cheng looked at Ye Wenxin. He always thought that Ye Wenxin had nothing to do with this matter, but just happened to meet him.

Ye Wenxin stroked her long hair, said with a smile, "I just discovered it by accident, so it's not really a credit."

"For more than half a year, my mother's research team and I have been studying the improvement of the Suihuang nuclear fusion reactor."

"Miniatization is only one of the directions, and understanding the principles is the most important."

The controllable nuclear fusion method invented by Zhong Cheng, in which the key critical point is a million times the natural law, has always confused everyone.

Although Zhong Cheng did not carry out further research, Ye Wenxin never gave up.

Zhong Cheng's research and development direction is not the basic theory, but Ye Wenxin is, and she is very interested in it.

Ye Wenxin continued: "I found in the controllable nuclear fusion test in the Taixu Experimental System that after the fusion reaction of high-temperature and high-speed deuterium-tritium ions due to impact, the instantaneous temperature is higher and the speed is faster. At the same time, there are Other fusion reactions occur in very rare numbers."

"Elements below the 26th element iron and the 28th element nickel are relatively common, but the subsequent heavy elements also have a one-in-a-billion probability of formation."

"However, because these elements were crushed and decomposed by the subsequent ion torrent, they existed for a very short time. If it weren't for the Taixu experimental system, they would not be observed at all."

"I found a subtle gravitational anomaly in the system's operating parameter records. After more than a month of trial and error, I finally found out that the anomaly was caused by this element of benzium-310."

"I notified Lin Gong and Yang Gong to help take a look, and handed over the matter to them to handle."

"They are busy with the rest!"

Yang Xi went on to say: "The benzium-310 produced in the Suihuang controllable nuclear fusion reactor is too rare, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as one in a trillion, and only a careful person like Lieutenant Colonel Ye can discover it." .”

"For this reason, we have established a special experimental model to synthesize this new element. Only after Beishan's second Suihuang nuclear fusion generator unit was connected to the grid for power generation did we dare to conduct real tests. This thing consumes too much power. Hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity can only synthesize 2 grams of benzium-18."

Then Lin Wei introduced the situation of this synthesis device. Indeed, the principle is very 'simple', which is to restore the environment comparable to a supernova explosion.

Use No. 36 krypton Kr element to bombard No. 90 thorium Th element to generate benzium-310.

There is really no tricky way to do this, it is piled up abruptly with electric energy.

Zhong Cheng thought for a while and smiled, "As long as it uses electricity, we don't have to worry about it. We are in the business of electricity. Lin Wei, you should continue to study first, come up with specific performance parameters, and then build more than a dozen Suihuang nuclear fusion reactors." It's all very easy."

After hearing Zhong Cheng's words, everyone laughed too, and only Zhong Cheng dared to say such big words.

Lin Wei said with emotion: "With this kind of benzium-air alloy, my titanium-based chaotic alloy will withdraw from the stage of history in the future."

Over the years, Lin Wei has developed Chaos Alloy into a huge series, with hundreds of different models, and spent a lot of effort.

But this is also a painful and happy thing. With more powerful materials, although the chaotic alloy will not withdraw from the stage of history as Lin Wei said, its importance has indeed declined significantly.

This is how the waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead!
