From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Therefore, it is completely worthwhile to invest several billion yuan in the view of the above.

So in the following time, Lin Xiao began to make preparations for the Dingguang Aerospace Research Institute, including site selection, and related facilities, etc. The research institute and the runway will be built together. The estimated time required is six months.

If this time was put into the past, the time required for a [-]-meter-long airport runway is far from being completed in six months. The speed has already been greatly improved, not to mention that it is still Lin Xiao's project.

As long as the final payment is made in time, let alone six months, it will not be a problem even sooner.

In this way, the location was determined, somewhere on the outskirts of Shangjing, and then Lin Xiao waited for the construction of the aerospace research institute and the [-]-meter-long airstrip.

Of course, it is impossible for him to supervise the construction every day. It is better to leave this kind of matter to the people below, and he put his mind into the design of this aerospace plane.

Time also passed slowly.

……

until a month later.

"How should I design this thing..."

Lin Xiao lowered his head, looking at the design drawing in front of him, thinking in his heart.

The design drawing in his hand is the sketch of the space plane design that Tan Jinri asked for, and it is a structure temporarily designed by the space agency and Yueshi Division.

But obviously, this structure can't meet their requirements, because in the link of computer simulation, the fuel consumption of this structure is too high, and there is also the space engine that needs to be switched during the process of switching from aviation mode to spaceflight mode. If the time is too long, there is a 50.00% possibility of danger during the switching process.

"Too much fuel consumption?"

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, especially during the take-off stage, which consumes a lot of aviation fuel. After all, who made the design of this structure take off as high as 2000 tons.

This problem is quite easy for him to solve.

"Xiao Mi, according to the general solution of the Navier-Stokes equation, optimize the aerodynamic design of this thing." He said.

"Good host."

Xiaomi's voice sounded from the computer, and after a while, Lin Xiao saw a brand new structure.

Looking at this new structure, Lin Xiao nodded slightly

The new structure optimized by Xiaomi based on the general solution of the Navier-Stokes equation must have basically reached a sufficiently perfect level in terms of aerodynamics.

But the final question still falls on the aerospace engine.

"It would be nice to have a material that is strong enough in terms of hardness and heat resistance."

Lin Xiao thought for a while, and then said to Xiaomi again: "Xiaomi, list all the materials on the earth that rank in the top ten in terms of hardness and heat resistance."

"Okay." Xiao Mi replied, and the next moment, Lin Xiao saw a form pop up on the computer, which was exactly the materials he wanted.

And these materials also include materials secretly researched by various countries.

However, when Lin Xiao saw the No.1 material, he was immediately shocked.

"Good guy, carbyne sulfide is only 40 times as hard as diamond, but this thing is actually 800 times as hard as diamond? What the hell is this?"

"And the heat resistance, which is actually as high as [-] degrees Celsius? No... it says more than [-] degrees Celsius, which means it hasn't been tested to the limit yet?"

Seeing this material, Lin Xiao was shocked for a while, and even wondered whether Xiaomi found the material from some unreliable science fiction novel.

It's just that when he looked ahead, he was stunned immediately, because the name of this material was introduced earlier, which is called [Moon Monument Surface Material (Powder Form)].

"The surface material of the moon tablet? Xiaomi, did you find this material from Yue Shisi?"

"Yes!" Mimi replied.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that he had missed something.

At the beginning, the three academicians of materials science from the Yueshi Division invited him to study the materials of the moon tablet, including Liao Cheng, the director of the Yueshi Division, who also suggested that he study the materials of the moon tablet, but at that time he was obsessed with the materials of the moon tablet. The news of the Moon Monument was too shocking, coupled with the discovery of Mars by the United States, he immediately focused on landing on the moon first and then landing on fire, so he ignored this matter.

As a result, it is unexpected that the material of this moon tablet has such extraordinary properties.

So in a short while, he took out his mobile phone and was about to call one of the three academicians.

But after thinking about it, if they asked the past directly, they might wonder where they got the news from.

So he gave up this idea, and then got up, he wanted to go directly to Yueshi Division.

……

A few hours later, he came to Yueshi Division, took the elevator with a depth of 100 meters, and came to the headquarters of Yueshi Division at the bottom. He met the three academicians.

"Eh? Why is Chief Lin here? Didn't I hear that you are working on an aerospace plane recently?" Academician Yang Chaohai first saw Lin Xiao approaching, and asked in surprise.

The other two academicians also looked at Lin Xiao with the same curiosity.

Lin Xiao said with a smile: "It's not that the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics is still under construction, so I have nothing to do. Come and take a look. Remember that you said you wanted me to study the materials of this moon monument? Now I just come to help help."

Hearing Lin Xiao's words, the three of them immediately laughed.

"That's really good!"

"Finally I'm looking forward to you."

Lin Xiao quickly waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about these things, first show me the results you have measured now."

"Okay!" Sun Chengjun nodded, then took out an experiment report from the side, handed it to Lin Xiao, and said at the same time: "I promise to surprise you."

Lin Xiao then asked "doubtfully": "Oh? How can you surprise me?"

The three academicians laughed without saying a word, and Lin Xiao also took over the experimental report, which recorded the various properties of the surface material of the moon tablet.

Even though he had been prepared for a long time, Lin Xiao still showed a shocked expression, and he didn't even need to pretend.

Because in addition to hardness and heat resistance, there are various other properties, such as tensile strength, thermal expansion coefficient, etc. Almost every property surprised him. .

And until the end, when he saw a picture, he was shocked.

Because he suddenly remembered the fusion tungsten plate!

Chapter 487 The Third Martian Ruins

The picture that Lin Xiao sees now comes from ARPES angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, which is known as a microscope of electronic structure.

But now, he saw a structure somewhat similar to the fusion tungsten plate on this picture.

That is, the structure that forms a link between the strong interaction force and the electromagnetic interaction force.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao frowned slightly. Could it be that the material on the surface of the moon tablet was made according to the same principle?

And if this is the case, it can explain why this material has such amazing properties.

At the same time, this material is also a compound, not a mixture. If it is a mixture, it will be more troublesome.

While thinking in his heart, he also continued to look down.

There are also various analysis diagrams below. It has been determined that the material on the surface of the moon tablet is a carbon-sulfur compound. At the same time, Lin Xiao has also confirmed the internal structure of this material through other analysis diagrams. It must be the electric strength. co-state.

However, one thing is certain is that the electric strength coordination state here is far more complicated than the electric strength coordination state on the fusion tungsten plate.

After all, fusion tungsten plates are far from being able to do that.

"It seems that there is still a way to strengthen this power-strength coordination state."

Knowing what to do next, Lin Xiao put down the report in his hand, turned to look at the three academicians, and said, "This material is really incredible."

"However, I read what is written on it, why is it in powder form? Also, is it just the hardness of the surface material?"

Sun Chengjun nodded and replied: "Yes, Chief Lin, you should have seen two small holes on the moon tablet, right?"

"En." Lin Xiao nodded. There were indeed two small holes on one side of the moon tablet. He didn't know how it came about, but now that he heard Sun Chengjun's words, he couldn't help asking: "The two small holes , did you make it?"

"Yes." Sun Chengjun nodded, and then he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Speaking of which, we spent a lot of effort to make those two small holes, that is, the experiment that allowed us to measure The hardness of this thing, and the hardness measured now may not be accurate, the results we have measured now are only conservative, and it may be even harder."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, and became more excited in his heart. After all, according to the above data, this thing not only has extremely high hardness, but also has high toughness.

Although generally speaking, hardness and toughness cannot coexist, there are always some exceptions, such as carbon acetylene sulfide, which is recognized as the hardest material on the earth, and it actually shows a strong ability in toughness .

Therefore, the relationship between hardness and toughness is only a relative relationship, and there is no absolute situation. For different materials, the relationship between hardness and toughness is different.

And this is good news for Lin Xiao, high hardness, high toughness, and high heat resistance.

These several things are combined and put on the aviation industry, that is the crown turbine fan blade in the material industry.

Putting it on the aerospace industry, it is the ultimate material for aerospace engines.

And if aviation and aerospace are combined together, it is an aerospace plane!

In other words, this new material is the most suitable material for aerospace engines!

Even as long as this material is used in aerospace engines, the problem of slow mode switching they faced before can be easily solved now, because now they can try to solve it in a more simple and crude way.

Switching is slow?Then just increase the torque, and the violent switch is over. I didn’t dare to switch violently before because of wear and tear, which will affect the life of the engine. Obviously, they don’t want to spend a lot of money to build an aerospace plane because of wear and tear. problem and soon retired.

However, now that the hardness of this new material is so high, it is still afraid of the wear and tear of a der, and the strength can be directly added.

Even Lin Xiao is starting to think now, maybe they don't need to develop a dual-engine system anymore, and the single-engine system is enough. One engine is not only the responsibility of the aero engine, but also the responsibility of the aerospace engine.

The biggest difference between an aero engine and an aerospace engine is that an aero engine has turbine blades to accelerate the high-pressure gas burned out to the outside, and at the same time has an air inlet to allow air to enter.

Aerospace engines, on the other hand, have no air inlets, but push the low-pressure fuel and oxidant into the high-pressure combustion chamber through the turbo pump, and then the ignited higher-pressure gas, or the working fluid, is directly injected from the nozzle in the combustion chamber. squirt.

Then the tail flame temperature of an aerospace engine is generally around [-] degrees Celsius, while that of an aeroengine is around [-] degrees Celsius.

But now this material can withstand high temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees, so to a certain extent, it can be directly placed on the nozzle to withstand the exhaust flame injection of rocket fuel. Put it together.

Of course, this method is definitely inappropriate. After all, there is still a thing called heat accumulation, and there is no air that can be used for cooling the engine in the universe, so this solution must be passed.

However, at this moment, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.

Then he immediately looked around, and soon saw a table with paper and pen, so he walked over, picked up the paper and pen, and calculated on it.

The three academicians next to him didn't understand what he was going to do, so they glanced at each other and walked up, wanting to see what Lin Xiao was writing.

And soon, they saw it.

Lin Xiao seemed to be calculating the energy generated by something after it exploded and the impact force it produced, and then wanted to see if the material on the moon tablet could resist this impact force?

They couldn't help becoming more puzzled, why does Lin Xiao count this?

Could it be that he wants to conduct some kind of blasting test?

But the problem is, they don't even know how to make the material on the surface of the moon tablet now?

It can't be that Lin Xiao just glanced at it and then got an idea, right?

how can that be?

They have been studying this material for a year since they got it off the moon in 2025, but they still have almost no clue about how to reverse engineer this material.

And Lin Xiao just read their experiment report once, and then got a clue?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

After a while, they looked at each other again.

It seems that this is entirely possible, right?

And just when they began to doubt themselves, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up again, looking at the result he had calculated with excitement on his face.

"It can be resisted!"

He felt extremely excited in his heart.

Because, now he has a new prototype for the future aerospace engine, and this prototype is the nuclear fusion engine.

As for this nuclear fusion engine, strictly speaking, it should be a nuclear fusion explosion engine. The method of realizing it is to use the inertial restraint nuclear fusion method to directly inject small projectiles mixed with deuterium-tritium gas into the engine, and then A laser is emitted to hit these projectiles, and then the deuterium-tritium inside them will undergo fusion, and then an explosion will occur, and the impact brought by the explosion will push the entire spacecraft forward.

Even to some extent, this kind of engine can be built now, because the research to achieve inertial confinement fusion has long been done, that is, the hydrogen bomb.

A hydrogen bomb uses the power of an atomic bomb explosion to ignite deuterium-tritium to achieve nuclear fusion, and then the huge heat generated by nuclear fusion in turn continues to ignite nuclear fission to achieve a stronger explosion again, so the power of the hydrogen bomb is very high.

And this is why it is said that those who study inertial confinement fusion, in name, study energy, but actually study weapons.

Of course, the power of the hydrogen bomb explosion is so high, even if it is not mixed with the power of nuclear fission like the hydrogen bomb, it is obviously not something that ordinary materials can resist.

So in the past, no one would consider this kind of engine at all.

But now, Lin Xiao has seen the hope of realizing this engine technology.

Because according to his calculations, the material on the moon tablet can resist this impact!

And as long as the power of the projectile explosion is well controlled, the material can withstand almost no loss, which in turn increases the life of the engine.

Suddenly, his heart became more and more excited.
