From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

After arriving in the capital, Wang Hao went straight to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Because there was no greeting beforehand, the Institute of Aeronautical Materials was not prepared for this. Cao Dongming, who knew the news, went to call for his servants, which made the welcoming team at the door a little more lively.

Qu Shigang, Ai Yongchuan, two old academicians came over.

They also complained to Cao Dongming and said, "Academician Wang Hao is coming, why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?"

"That's right, if you know how to hang a banner, there are just a dozen people..."

Ai Yongchuan looked around and said worriedly, "Don't let Academician Wang Hao think that we are not well received!"

"I just found out too."

Cao Dongming smiled wryly, "Academician Wang came here by car. He said he slept in the car at night, so he didn't bother him when it was too late. He called just now and said he was in the capital and wanted to come over."

"It's the same as a surprise inspection." Qu Shigang said something depressed, and then asked, "This time Academician Wang is here..."

"Our research, me and Qu Gui!"

Cao Dongming said with some pride, and continued, "Academician Wang said that our discovery is very important, so I decided to come and have a look."

"Cooperation with Academician Wang?"

"right."

Qu Shigang gave Cao Dongming a thumbs up.

Ai Yongchuan joked, "It must be a big achievement for Academician Wang to travel long distances. Dongming, you just won the third prize for science and technology. This year, you plan to make persistent efforts and win the second prize?"

The people around laughed.

Cao Dongming also laughed a few times, knowing that Ai Yongchuan was joking, how easy is it to win the Science and Technology Progress Award?

When a few people were chatting and laughing, they heard a shout in the distance, "Here we come."

They immediately moved forward to meet them.

A military vehicle drove over and stopped in the open space of the door. The co-driver got down and a guard with guns helped to open the side door.

Wang Hao got out of the car.

Qu Shigang, Cao Dongming and others immediately greeted them, and they shook hands and exchanged greetings without mentioning it. Ai Yongchuan continued to say "poor hospitality" and other polite words.

Of course, Wang Hao didn't mind the lack of hospitality. He directly mentioned the purpose, "I'm here this time for the research of Professor Cao and Professor Qu."

He suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "By the way, it should be Academician Cao."

Everyone else laughed.

Last year, Cao Dongming won the Science Progress Award and was also elected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering. His personal achievements have been greatly improved.

Cao Dongming said a few polite words, and then talked about the research findings with Wang Hao.

Cao Dongming said briefly before that he only knew that his research had discovered a method to separate first-order iron, but he never thought that it would be worthwhile for Wang Hao to make a special trip to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Wang Hao's coming to the capital is a big event.

It was not a few years ago now. It was not easy to meet Wang Hao. Even some high-level leaders went to Xihai to meet Wang Hao.

So knowing that Wang Hao came to the capital, some leaders sent people to wait in advance.

As soon as Wang Hao finished his work, he hurried over to talk about other things. Wang Hao didn't have much time to stay in the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

Cao Dongming knew that Wang Hao's schedule was tight, so he simply took Wang Hao to the laboratory.

At this time, irrelevant people can only leave.

All projects of the Institute of Aeronautical Materials are confidential to a certain extent, not to mention the cooperative research projects with Wang Hao. Because of this, even Qu Shigang did not inquire about the research content in detail.

In the laboratory, Wang Hao met Qu Gui.

The main persons in charge of this research are Cao Dongming and Qu Gui. Qu Gui is an excellent talent recommended by Cao Dongming. He is only 40 years old, and his education is only a bachelor's degree. Step by step, he quickly rose up, and now he is also a researcher.

It is not easy to successfully stay in the Institute of Aeronautical Materials with a bachelor's degree. It is naturally quite capable to work as a researcher at the age of 40 after a postgraduate student.

"It is also Professor Qu's idea to experiment with magnetized iron materials."

Cao Dongming didn't have the idea of ​​claiming credit, he obviously admired Qu Gui, "At that time, Professor Qu said to use magnetized iron materials, I thought it was too extravagant."

He immediately smiled wryly, "It's not a question of funding. Even in our institute, if you want to use magnetized iron materials, you have to apply for it. It's still just magnetized materials, not first-order iron after extraction."

Wang Hao nodded slightly.

The price of first-order iron is very high, but the magnetized iron material is much cheaper.

Now in the international market, the price of first-order iron materials is 80 to 1 million US dollars per kilogram.

Magnetized iron materials are relatively expensive, but the main reason is that the production capacity of Annihilation Technology Company is limited, and some of them are used for external sales to achieve high profits, and the supply of materials to the domestic technology sector is also limited.

After talking about ideas, Cao Dongming and Qu Gui introduced the experiment together, "Our furnace temperature is kept between 1560 and 1600 degrees Celsius, and a special environment of high magnetic and high pressure has been created."

"In this environment, we stirred in all directions and conducted experimental observations."

"At the beginning, we didn't find anything, but after the experimental material cooled and solidified, we tested it again, and found that the content of first-order iron at the edge of the material increased a lot, while the central part showed a significant decline."

"Later, we conducted another experiment to confirm that unidirectional stirring would cause the first-order iron in the magnetized material to gather towards the edge..."

While listening to the explanations of the two, Wang Hao looked at the experiment report in his hand.

This is not a large experiment.

The "magnetized iron material" mentioned by Cao Dongming is only a small piece, and the furnace is also used in the laboratory. It is very easy to create high temperature, high magnetic and even high voltage environments.

Wang Hao put down the report in his hand, picked up a piece of solidified magnetized iron material, and observed it carefully. Of course, he found nothing.

He was thinking about a question--

Why does one-way stirring make the first-order iron gather toward the edge under high magnetic, high pressure and high temperature environments?

What principle is contained in it?

In the environment of 1550 to 1600 degrees Celsius, conventional iron will melt at high temperature, while the melting point of first-order iron is higher and it is still in a solid state.

But that's just theory.

The first-order iron in the magnetized iron material is absolutely evenly distributed. The so-called "absolutely uniform" is compared with microscopic atoms, and the overall content is only a little more than 2%.

When the melting point of conventional iron is reached, it is impossible to separate the first-order iron only by physical means of stirring, that is to say, the high magnetic and high pressure environment has played a role.

"It still comes down to specificity."

"Under the strong annihilation force field, the magnetic field emitted by the first-order iron element is different, so the effect of the magnetic field will definitely be different..."

Wang Hao thought hard and pressed his forehead hard.

Although this is true in theoretical analysis, there is no discovery in experimental research, and it is impossible to distinguish iron elements from first-order iron elements only by using a magnetic field.

"Also, high voltage..."

"Elemental iron, with its simple semi-topological structure inside, also says nothing."

"If it is an iron-based superconducting material, there will be no difference between first-order iron and conventional iron after melting, and similar discoveries will not be possible."

"So, how to make the role of the semi-topological structure manifest?"

Wang Hao thought of microsphere manufacturing.

The manufacture of microspheres is to put the melted material in a characteristic solution, and continuously stir during the cooling and solidification process, so that the material can be separated into small balls.

"Is it possible to replace it with an iron-based superconducting material and put it in the molten liquid of a superconducting material with a higher melting point?" His eyes suddenly brightened.

This idea has been around for a long time, but there has been no clear idea.

Now Cao Dongming and Qu Gui's experimental discoveries have made him more clear about his research and development ideas, and at the same time he has thought of many technical problems that must be overcome--

For the semi-topology to work, high voltage power must be maintained during fabrication.

It is not easy to find a suitable superconducting material with a higher melting point.

Also, the problem of high magnetic field should be solved.

But no matter how many technical problems need to be overcome, the most important thing is to clarify the research direction. Wang Hao immediately confessed, "Academician Cao, Professor Qu, please make a detailed report as soon as possible."

"Your achievement is very remarkable. It is very important to my research and to the manufacturing technology related to first-order iron."

Cao Dongming asked suspiciously, "Isn't the manufacturing technology of first-order iron...extraction?"

Wang Hao said with a smile, "It's not just extraction, you'll know soon."

He didn't explain carefully.

Cao Dongming then asked, "Academician Wang, tell me how important it is, can you win the third prize for scientific and technological progress?"

"this……"

Wang Hao said hesitantly, "I don't know if I can win the award."

"However, with this achievement, it will definitely be no problem for you to study first-order iron and apply for ten tons or eight tons from Annihilation Technology Company."

"—?"

Cao Dongming and Qu Gui looked at each other and opened their mouths in unison.

Tier 1 iron?

Ten tons, eight tons?

This is much more powerful than any science and technology progress award!

...

Wang Hao just walked out of the Institute of Aeronautical Materials, and was enthusiastically received by the science and technology department.

Teacher Xu and several other leaders have been waiting for a long time, and one of them is a leader of the military, who wants to talk about super stealth technology.

Wang Hao briefly explained the stealth technology, and also got news from the military leaders that the flight stealth test of Airship-2 has already been carried out once.

"everything is normal."

"It's the same as expected, except that when it's invisible, the aircraft can't send out signals. At that time, I was worried about some accidents..."

"Over there at the Radar Institute, Professor Shen Huiming's research is too important!"

When the stealth technology is equipped on the aircraft, you can intuitively feel the importance of data transmission, even if it is just the simplest sending and receiving signal instructions, at least it can ensure the normal operation of the aircraft, instead of just waiting on the ground.

Wang Hao asked, "Is there any new progress in Professor Shen's research?"

The military leader said distressedly, "The first-order shortwave can already be released and received, but the experimental equipment is too complicated, and it will take a lot of time before the device is manufactured and installed for use..."

"However, the speed is already very fast."

"We always hope that any technology can be put into use immediately, so we are planning to use one Airship 2 as a guide at high altitude, and the other one can be close to the ground to perform missions stealthily."

"This way you can use it cooperatively..."

Wang Hao is still very concerned about Airship-2. He chatted with the military leaders a lot about related content, and then talked with others about the research issues related to the strong annihilation force field.

Now the strong annihilation force field generation technology has reached a bottleneck in strength, and it is very difficult to research and improve it based on the existing foundation.

"If the existing high-pressure mixed materials are used, the strength can be increased by up to 0.5. This is only a theoretical data, and the time and resources required for the process are massive."

"So it's not worthwhile to study again."

"If you want to make a big improvement, you must start from the technical principles or basic materials."

"As for the first-order elemental material, it has been determined that it will not work."

Wang Hao talked a lot about the annihilation force field technology, and also let a few leaders who came over specially get the information they wanted to know.

After that, we are left with the head of the technology department.

Teacher Xu and Wang Hao chatted alone. They were already old acquaintances, so they said some daily things, "I heard that you are studying granular material technology recently? Going to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials is also related to this? Did you gain anything?"

Wang Haodao, "This time the harvest is not small, at least it affirms my thoughts."

"Oh? Tell me?"

Teacher Xu suddenly became interested.

Wang Hao explained, "We are collaborating with Academician Cao Dongming and Professor Qu Gui. They used magnetized iron materials and found that under high temperature, high pressure and high magnetic environments, single phase stirring will make the first-order iron..."

"This discovery is very important."

"Theoretically speaking, the specific external manifestation of first-order iron is to stimulate magnetization, and under the influence of high magnetism and high voltage..."

"But in fact, there are no relevant findings in the experiment..."

"I think……"

"Ula Ula~~"

Teacher Xu pretended to be listening, and nodded his head from time to time, but in fact, he didn't understand anything.

He regrets it.

If there are any research results, wouldn't it be good to know the situation?

Why listen to an explanation?

Seeing that Wang Hao took a deep breath, and seemed to have more ideas and wanted to continue, Teacher Xu hurriedly interrupted and changed the subject, "Do you know the last negotiation with American?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know the specifics."

"The conversation fell apart."

Teacher Xu said, "They want to buy magnetized iron materials at a low price, or even at a cost price. The bargaining chip is the prohibited list of high-tech products, but there are still various restrictions."

"We mentioned several key things that were stuck, but they were all rejected."

"From the negotiation until now, American, no, it should be said that the purchase orders for magnetized iron materials have dropped significantly for several companies that Groom Lake plans to cooperate with."

Wang Hao was a little confused, "They didn't buy it?"

"Or, it can also be understood as... the funds for this research project are limited?" Teacher Xu laughed to himself.

He shook his head and continued, "Actually, there are many debates in China about the manufacture and research of first-grade iron, and the most important thing is the price."

"Too little to make and too expensive!"

"Academician Wang, do you think the price of magnetized iron materials should be appropriately lowered?"

The price reduction Mr. Xu said is aimed at domestic and foreign countries.

The normal selling price of magnetized iron materials to foreign institutions is very high, and the supply price to domestic scientific research institutions will not be too cheap.

This is necessary, otherwise problems will arise.

In fact, there have been similar situations where some scientific research institutions have obtained magnetized iron materials and resold them abroad through some private channels to obtain considerable profits.

Similar things, as long as they are found, it is a big problem.

Now that one discovery has been made, there may be many more that have not been discovered. Human beings will always take risks for huge profits.

Wang Hao thought for a while, hesitated, "The price of the magnetized iron material...shouldn't you ask me?"

Teacher Xu said, "I want to hear your opinion on the research and development of first-order iron and its future application. This is the direct question."

"You should also know that there are many controversies about first-order iron."

"Because it's too expensive, it's expensive now, and it will be expensive in the future. Your research report says that even if the strong annihilation force field is increased, the first-order iron content will not increase much, right?"

"With this content, even if the magnetized iron material has zero cost and retail price, it can only be used in the most high-end technological fields in the future, which makes research in many directions meaningless."

This is the point of contention.

First-order iron is really too expensive, as high as tens or tens of billions of dollars per kilogram. Even if the extraction technology improves and the price of magnetized iron materials is reduced to zero, it must exceed 100,000 dollars per kilogram, and a ton is 100 million dollars. Gold is twice as expensive.

Such an expensive material is impossible to achieve a wide range of citations.

After Teacher Xu finished speaking with a sigh, he raised his head and found that Wang Hao was looking at him with a puzzled face. He touched his cheek with his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wang Hao asked suspiciously, "Mr. Xu, I have already said how to solve this problem, why do you still ask?"

"ah?"

Teacher Xu was stunned with his mouth half-opened.

He recalled it carefully for a long time, but he still didn't expect when Wang Hao said about the price of first-order iron.

He said tentatively, "Can you repeat it again? Maybe I didn't hear clearly just now."

Wang Hao nodded and explained, "Academician Cao Dongming and Professor Qu Gui's new discovery, under high temperature, high pressure and high magnetic environment, unidirectional stirring will make the first-order iron and conventional iron separate and spread toward the side..."

"First-order iron is specific. Under the strong annihilation force field, the magnetic field it excites will produce a resistance to strong field force..."

"This leads to..."

"When the first-order iron is separated from the conventional iron, the protective properties of the magnetic field will be weakened and reduced. Under the pressure of the field force, more..."

Teacher Xu rubbed his forehead vigorously, and couldn't help but interrupted, "Academician Wang, Academician Wang, stop for a moment, stop for a moment, can you speak more simply?"

His expression was even pleading.

"All right."

Wang Hao nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Simply speaking, we have a technology that can save the extraction process and quickly manufacture first-order iron in large quantities."

Teacher Xu waited for a long time, but before the next sentence, he asked in surprise, "It's over?"

"Is it over?"

"This is gone?"

Teacher Xu said and slapped his forehead hard, annoyed why he pretended to understand, if he knew it, he would have just asked?

Suffering in vain...

its not right!

He suddenly came to his senses, widened his eyes and slapped the table, and shouted excitedly, "What? Mass production of first-order iron?"

"right."

"Is it first-order iron? Not a magnetized material?"

"certainly."

Two positive, uncomfortable to death.

The virus is rolling in again, I wish everyone good health and no symptoms~~~
