Chapter 354 The Lightest Solid Material
"Xiao Zhang, you can go back after turning off the graphene instrument! There's nothing going on here!" Liu Jianguo took off his white coat and got ready to leave work.

He knew that Zhang Wenxuan was Zhang Wenkai's younger brother, so he took good care of him. At first, he didn't like Zhang Wenxuan. After all, he was a student who had not yet left school, so he had no formed ideological values.

However, after getting in touch with him, he discovered that it was not what he thought. It might be the difficult life in childhood that created Zhang Wenxuan's character of cherishing everything in front of him.

Even if Zhang Wenxuan does not work in this life, his brother Zhang Wenkai can guarantee that he will not worry about food and clothing, and he still has a lot of pocket money in his hand,
But even so, Zhang Wenxuan didn't waste a single grain of rice or throw away a single vegetable, this is what impressed Liu Jianguo.

They were an era where they didn't have enough food or clothing, so they valued the quality of people.

"It's okay, Uncle Liu, tell me if you have anything to do, and I'll do it for you!" Zhang Wenxuan touched his head and said.

Liu Jianguo smiled and said, "You are much more diligent than your brother." He stayed in the laboratory every day to do research, knowing that Zhang Wenkai basically did not come to the laboratory for inspections, and it was completely at the pace of your work that I can rest assured.

In terms of this quality, Liu Jianguo felt that Zhang Wenkai was not as good as Zhang Wenxuan.

Zhang Wenxuan's face turned red and he touched his head in embarrassment.

"Who is talking bad about me?" Zhang Wenkai's voice sounded.

"If you really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!" Liu Jianguo shook his head and laughed.

"Brother!" Zhang Wenxuan also nodded.

Zhang Wenkai walked in front of Liu Jianguo, then turned his head and blinked at Zhang Wenxuan, meaning whether his conquering work was going well.

A smile appeared on Zhang Wenxuan's face, and he nodded vaguely to Zhang Wenkai.

Since Zhang Wenxuan and Liu Jianguo got along very well, Zhang Wenkai felt relieved, and turned to Liu Jianguo and asked, "Do you know a material called nickel phosphorus?"

Liu Jianguo's main focus is materials science. It is impossible not to know about nickel-phosphorus alloys. He frowned, wondering why Zhang Wenkai mentioned nickel-phosphorus alloys?It seems that this alloy is of no use.

As we all know, nickel-phosphorus alloys have always been used in electroplating. Commonly used knives or tools with large wear and tear in daily life are basically electroplated with nickel-phosphorus alloys to increase their service life.

"It's not a nickel-phosphorus alloy, but a single nickel-phosphorus material." Zhang Wenkai shook his head.

"Huh?" Liu Jianguo couldn't do it anymore, what else could it be if it wasn't nickel-phosphorus alloy?Isn't it an alloy?
Zhang Wenxuan, who was standing aside, also showed a curious expression. He studied chemical engineering and knew something about nickel-phosphorus alloys. He did not understand what Zhang Wenkai meant by nickel-phosphorus materials.

Seeing such a result, Zhang Wenkai was also slightly disappointed.

He and Xiaona are perfecting the Supreme mobile phone to be developed, which involves the design of the shell. Zhang Wenkai wants to use a solid material that is as light as possible.

However, in order to ensure its strength, the medium of the material is still limited to the metal body, but the quality of the metal is not light, so it is very contradictory.

However, Xiaona put forward a conjecture, that is the application of nickel phosphorus materials.

Xiaona said that her home planet does not have nickel as a material, so what she put forward is just a guess.

That is to use nanotechnology to process nickel-phosphorus materials, and after some adjustments to its structure, it should be lighter than a sponge, and even a gust of wind can float in the air.

This kind of conjecture was naturally taken seriously by Zhang Wenkai, so he came to the graphene laboratory from the private laboratory building, and specifically asked Liu Jianguo if he had any relevant knowledge.

"Can nanotechnology be used to make hollow tubes from nickel-phosphorus materials?" Zhang Wenkai asked.

"Nanotechnology." Liu Jianguo pondered. He really hadn't thought about this aspect.

"Let me try it!" Liu Jianguo picked up the white coat and put it on, turned on the equipment in the room, took out the nickel phosphorus material, and processed it according to Zhang Wenkai's idea.

After all, it is a material laboratory, and this commonly used material is still in reserve.

Zhang Wenxuan kept watching like a curious baby.

"How many nanometers do you plan to make the wall thickness of the hollow tube? Liu Jianguo stared at the instrument in front of him and did not look back.

"Well, let's make a one hundred nanometers first!"

"One hundred nanometers!" Liu Jianguo nodded, and then fell silent.

The hum of the device is not very loud, but everyone can hear it.

About half an hour later, the buzzing of the equipment subsided, and Liu Jianguo held a piece of processed nickel-phosphorus material thinner than a hair with tweezers, which could barely be seen with the naked eye.

Then Liu Jianguo used other metals to make the same hollow tubes with a thickness of [-] nanometers. After measurement, he found that nickel phosphorus was the lightest, and it was several times lighter than the second lightest.

This result surprised Liu Jianguo. He didn't know that there would be such an effect, but it seemed that this kind of hollow tube was useless.

"I don't know what you use the nickel-phosphorus material for?" Liu Jianguo asked curiously.

"I plan to use it as a mobile phone casing." Zhang Wenkai was a little happy to get this result, but he didn't expect Xiaona's guess to be correct.

"Mobile phone casing?" Liu Jianguo shook his head. With the knowledge he thought he had, he had never seen that nickel-phosphorus materials could be used as mobile phone casings. This was a bit of a joke!
Zhang Wenkai plans to make a mobile phone case that is both resilient and resistant to stress. Even if he told Liu Jianguo, he might not understand it. After all, some of the technologies involved have surpassed the current technological level on earth.

"Okay, I'm fine, let's go first!" Zhang Wenkai left without hesitation. He wanted to tell Xiaona the result.

The two of them looked at Zhang Wenkai's hurried away figure. Liu Jianguo shook his head again, obviously still not optimistic about Zhang Wenkai's ideas.

"Look, your brother is so frizzy!" Feeling helpless, Liu Jianguo took off his coat and left.

Zhang Wenxuan sighed, looked down at the nickel-phosphorus material thinner than a hair in front of him, his eyes were full of determination.

He didn't expect that he was so far away from his brother, and he couldn't understand even a sentence of what the two said, so he couldn't help feeling so strong.

"You have to work hard. If you don't work hard, you will definitely be further and further behind your brother." Zhang Wenxuan muttered, without leaving the laboratory, but took out some materials and started doing experiments.

The newly acquired knowledge today needs to be verified.
