Future Technology Powerhouse

Yang Jinghan took the life-prolonging medicine sent by his daughter-in-law Qu Xiaoyan. He laments that technology is advancing so fast now that people can live to be 200 years old. In that case, I have just reached middle age.

He opened the package and said to his wife, We each have one of these two bottles of medicine.

His wife made fun of him and said, Why are you so confused? Isn't this more than ten bottles?

Yang Jinghan checked the package carefully, he was stunned, there were really more than ten bottles of life-prolonging medicine in the package.

He lamented that his daughter-in-law, Qu Xiaoyan, knew him well. I know that if the life-extending medicine is less. He will definitely give up the opportunity to his mentor Zhang Shenghai first.

Yang Jinghan took out two bottles of life-prolonging potion and said to his wife, I will send these two bottles back to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to my mentor Zhang Shenghai. When I come back, we will go to the hospital to inject the potion for life-prolonging.

Zhang Jinghan saw the instruction manual of the life-prolonging medicine. The life-prolonging medicine needs to cooperate with the elements necessary for the human body. There is a detailed list in the manual. These are common medicines, and every hospital has them.

Seeing that Grandpa was about to leave, Xiao Ming who was playing next to him jumped up. The silver-white metal in Xiao Ming's hand was very soft, and there were some fine metal particles hanging on Yang Jinghan's body.

Yang Jinghan comforted his grandson for a while, then drove to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

He entered the office of the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but did not find his mentor Zhang Shenghai.

Yang Jinghan ran into a colleague when he went out, and asked, Academician Ji, do you know where the dean has gone?

Academician Yang, you are back from vacation, and the dean has gone to your chemistry institute.

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Yang Jinghan came to the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

When the researchers saw him coming, they greeted him respectfully, and someone asked, Director, isn't it your 55th wedding anniversary, did you ask for leave to travel?

Yang Jinghan replied with a smile: I just came back, and I still have a few days of vacation. I will stay with my grandson at home and sort out the ideas for the next experiment at home. It is too difficult to do this experiment, and I still have no ideas.

Did you see where the dean is? Yang Jinghan asked.

The man thought for a while and replied: In the inorganic laboratory, I heard that the dean has a new equipment, and your experiment may be successful.

After Yang Jinghan bid farewell to him, he came to the inorganic laboratory. Beside the high-pressure reactor, he saw his mentor, academician Zhang Shenghai. His mentor is ninety-nine years old this year, and he doesn't look old at all. There is a spirit that many young people don't have.

Yang Jinghan stepped forward to say hello: Hello, teacher, I heard that you brought a new equipment, which is helpful for the experiment of converting carbon dioxide into ethylene.

Zhang Shenghai pointed to the rice cooker-sized machine next to him and said: This is a new quantum computer sent by the Prime Minister. It is equipped with the latest scientific research simulation system of Xingyu Technology. Through the scientific research simulation system, the method of converting carbon dioxide into ethylene has been found. industrial production methods.

Yang Jinghan was shocked. He knew what this meant. The method of converting carbon dioxide into ethylene had long been successful in the laboratory. It's just that the cost is too high for industrial production.

Once industrialized production is successful. Another important area that will affect oil is the petrochemical industry.

The petrochemical industry will completely abandon oil. Ethylene is a basic raw material for the petrochemical industry. It can be transformed into any kind of organic matter through a series of chemical reactions. He is the most basic raw material in organic chemistry.

The country has deployed this project since a few years ago, just for the petrochemical industry, so as not to be restrained by foreign oil giants.

As long as the project is successful, the country's oil consumption will be reduced by a third. This saves more than just money. It also has the right to speak in the petrochemical industry.

His teacher Zhang Shenghai's words woke him up, and he heard him talking all the time.

Xingyu Technology, which suddenly appeared, is advancing at a very fast speed. The quantum computer he produced is several generations ahead of the country's development.

This scientific research simulation system is really an excellent tool for the benefit of the scientific research community. With this system, a lot of work is saved. Based on the data from our experiments over the past few years, the system has calculated the conditions for converting carbon dioxide and water vapor into ethylene. Zhang Shenghai said excitedly.

Yang Jinghan just wanted to take out the life-prolonging potion. I heard the experimenter next to me shouting: The dean has given the result. The conversion rate is 15%. This experiment failed.

Li Jinghan asked: What is the reason for the failure of the experiment?

Dean, it's the director. You're back. The experimenter said in surprise, It's because the pressure of the reactor is not enough. The experimental conditions require a higher pressure, but this is the reactor with the strongest pressure resistance in the world.

Yang Jinghan thought about it and said: The pressure cannot go up, you have considered the temperature, or the catalyst.

Zhang Shenghai replied: The temperature has been taken into account, and the catalyst is ferric oxide.

Yang Jinghan felt that he was needless to say, there is no one in chemistry who doesn't know how to use catalysts. It is a common tool in chemical reactions. It speeds up the rate of the chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy of the reactants, while its own quality and chemical properties do not change before and after the reaction.

Its function is simply to lower the threshold of chemical reactions. Just like the various enzymes in the human body, they can reduce chemical reactions that require very high conditions to be achieved in the human body.

Don't be afraid of difficulties, try to open two more reactors. Zhang Shenghai said from the side.

Watch the experimenter drop the catalyst into the reactor. Yang Jinghan also became interested. He also picked up ferric oxide. What he didn't notice was that the ferroferric oxide was magnetic, and the metal particles on his clothes were attracted to it.

The reactor was closed, carbon dioxide and water vapor were introduced into it, and the experiment began.

After waiting for a while, the reaction ends. The experimenter calculates the conversions in the two reactors.

He took the result and said in surprise: This is impossible, how could this be possible?

The experimenter handed the results to Zhang Shenghai and Yang Jinghan. When they saw the results, they also found it incredible, the same experiment. One has a conversion rate of 15% and the other has a conversion rate of 99.9%.

Zhang Shenghai said excitedly: Other conditions are the same, it must be a problem with the catalyst, go find the catalyst in the reactor.

Yang Jinghan hurried forward and collected all the objects in the reaction kettle that had successfully reacted. It is still unknown whether the catalyst that worked was solid, gas, or liquid.

Through experimental equipment, it is separated one by one. Most are reactants and products.

There is only one solid particle, which looks like ferric oxide.

The experimenter said: Impossible, the same ferric oxide was put in, but one was put by me, and the other was put by Director Yang.

Yang Jinghan took the particles under an electron microscope to observe, and found that there was a metal substance on the surface of the ferric oxide.

They all know that this metal substance is the catalyst.

The experimenter picked up this substance and saw it under the electron microscope. This kind of particle becomes soft when you are caught.

Soft metal, Yang Jinghan thought, the metal his grandson played with. It is, it must be.

Yang Jinghan excitedly called home, and after a while, his wife sent the metal to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Continuing the experiments with that metal as the catalyst, every reactor was a success.

The people in the Institute of Chemistry of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were all excited. It was a small step forward in chemical technology, but he sounded the death knell of oil.

Taking advantage of teacher Zhang Shenghai's joy, Yang Jinghan took out the life-prolonging potion and said to his teacher: Teacher, you and my wife are both so old. I have never had any presents to honor you. You take this.

Seeing the life-prolonging potion, Zhang Shenghai shook his head and said, I can't use this. I can live for a few more years. Give it to other older comrades.

Yang Jinghan explained: My daughter-in-law is at Xingyu Technology. According to him, the country will uniformly distribute life-prolonging medicines to older scientists. If I give you this bottle, you will save a bottle for the country and gain one more scientist. Chance to get a bottle.

Only then did Zhang Shenghai take the life-prolonging potion from Yang Jinghan's hand.

Zhang Shenghai said: Use all the technologies of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to figure out the composition of this catalyst. Now it can be reported to the state, and the experiment is successful.

The burden in Zhang Shenghai's heart was finally let go, but he didn't figure out the composition of this catalyst. Such a large piece of metal is enough catalyst for more than a dozen factories.
