From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

It's not just the steel.

Thinking about it this way, all the points of truth suddenly turned into safflower hundred-yuan bills in his eyes.

"Good stuff!"

This is the correct way to use truth points.

Since we all want to pursue the truth, can we still be troubled by economic problems?

Obviously not.

Comparing the mathematical problems he solved with these materials, if they are all quantified in value, this value is not economic value, but the value of the "truth" contained in it, then it is obvious that the mathematical problems he solved before The value of possession is quite high.

Just say that the Goldbach conjecture he solved is worth 30 truth points, which is several times that of this new GDL-4 steel with an economic value of hundreds of millions.

Lin Xiao couldn't help fantasizing in his mind, if he realized all the truth points, how much money would he earn?

When the time comes, I will become the CEO and marry Bai Fumei...

Cough cough, it should be, when the time comes to build a private underground research institute, then build a particle collider by yourself, and then build your own supercomputing center...

Just as Lin Xiao was fantasizing, he suddenly received a message.

From Huang Haoran.

"Lin Shen, our materials from the previous days have temporarily met our first-stage expectations. Now the boss has decided to perform simulation calculations on the computer. It's convenient for you to come over now. Shall we start the group meeting?" 』

Hearing the notification sound of the new news, Lin Xiao came back to his senses, took a look, and replied: "No problem, I'll come right away."

Then, he tidied up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he looked at the GDL-4 steel that he had simulated and calculated, and curled his lips.

The system says that it needs 10 truth points, so it seems that the one I designed can't meet expectations at all. God knows what kind of waste it will be when it is produced.

No wonder computational materials science is so underappreciated today.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that he has only studied for a month, and with more experience in the future, there may still be a chance to succeed.

After that, he stopped interfering and went to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials.

……

"...According to our analysis results, the new titanium alloy we tested last time showed better performance than we expected. Under the conditions of 600°C, 400MPa, and half an hour, the creep residual elongation The elongation is less than 0.35%, and the creep residual elongation is less than 750% under the conditions of 200°C and 2.5MPa for half an hour."

In a small meeting room in Research Room No. [-], the research group led by Academician Chen Bao is starting their group meeting.

"In order to better explore the performance of this material, next I will decide to use simulation calculations to correct the ratio of its elements."

After Chen Bao finished speaking, the other graduate students couldn't help looking at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao is currently studying computational materials science, and they all know it. Obviously, this task will most likely fall on Lin Xiao's shoulders. Of course, there is also Chen Bao, who is an academician of materials science. Of course, he has done some research on science, and in his previous projects, calculations were often used as an aid.

As for these graduate students, they can only be responsible for the design and manufacturing process after the mathematical model is established, or they can be used as helpers or something.

They don't know much about computational materials, and at most they use software.

Academician Chen also looked at Lin Xiao, and said with a smile, "So next, Lin Xiao, the two of us will be busy."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Let me try, after all, I have only studied for a month."

"It's okay. It's better to have experience than to have no experience. Let's just take our time. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Chen Bao waved his hand, and then said: "Then everyone, get ready, search for relevant information in the next few days, and then we will start directly."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"If we succeed, this thing will have a chance to be used in our missiles or fighter jet engines in the future, so everyone should be careful, you know?"

"understood!"

"Ah."

After that, Chen Bao didn't say any more.

Once this high-temperature-resistant titanium alloy is developed and achieves the expected goals they want, it will definitely be able to be applied in the military field at that time, but if the expected goals cannot be achieved, it means that all time is wasted.

Of course, this is also a matter of luck. What to say in the future is still to be determined by the results.

However, Lin Xiao next to him was moved in his heart.

If it is applied to national defense...

He'd be more than happy to use that 30 truth point voucher for it.

Chapter 148 Whoring system for nothing?

Computational simulations of the new material will soon begin.

A few days later, Lin Xiao came to the Institute of Aeronautical Materials again, but instead of the previous No. [-] research room, he went to the material data center in the institute.

Here, the computing power of the computer is higher, and it is safer, avoiding the possibility of being monitored by the outside world.

The country on the other side of the Pacific has never lacked cyber surveillance of China, especially research on this kind of defense technology.

Even when they check the documents, they need to hand over to professionals to help them do the research, so as to prevent the documents they have checked from being caught by foreign countries, which will eventually lead to the leakage of the research content, and even the final research results may be inferred by the other party, or even carried out. copy.

All in all, this kind of research requires safety precautions.

"Okay, I won't say much else, Lin Xiao, let's build a model now."

Sitting in front of the computer, Chen Bao said to Lin Xiao.

"it is good."

Lin Xiao made an 'ok' gesture.

"Well, Xiao Huang, bring the data over here."

Chen Bao greeted the back.

After Huang Haoran responded, he handed over their data to Lin Xiao and Chen Bao.

Lin Xiao and Chen Bao have also opened the relevant software and started using it.

To carry out simulation calculations based on existing materials, it is first necessary to clarify the various structures of their materials.

"Our γ-TiAl alloy mainly has two structures, L1o and B2. Lin Xiao, you start with the L1o structure, and I will build the B2 structure."

"Okay." Lin Xiao responded.

Looking at the information from the side, [L1o type lattice structure, lattice constant a=b=3.984, c=4.065A, space group is tetragonal crystal system of p4/mmm].

Enter the relevant data, then establish the atomic coordinate system, and then replace some of the atoms, mainly with other metal elements.

Then the software will use the characteristics of these atoms, etc., to approximate whether their properties can meet their requirements.

Just like that, Lin Xiao worked on it, and a few graduate students stood behind him, watching Lin Xiaoxiu 'operate'.

Of course, it's just inputting data now, not a show operation.

The real show operation is below.

Using software, the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave method is used to select the standard pseudopotentials of different metal elements to describe the interaction between ion real and valence electrons.

Seeing that Lin Xiao entered more and more data, the people behind him also became more and more at a loss.

They have never learned how to use this thing, of course they will be at a loss, but at this time they also have to express their amazement in their hearts, Lin Xiao has only learned it for a month, and he is so 6, what kind of learning efficiency is this?

outrageous.

It is too shameful for them to be ordinary postgraduates who graduated from Beijing University, Qinghua University, or National University of Science and Technology, and then come here to study in graduate school.

But soon they calmed down. Anyway, this is computational materials science. Although it sounds very advanced, and sometimes supercomputers are used as an aid, they may not be able to come up with anything. They are honest Just do your own experiments on the spot, which Lin Xiao can't compare to.

And when the simulation calculation results are obtained, they have to design the process, and Lin Xiao will watch them show off the operation.

So they stopped trying to compare with Lin Xiao and watched quietly.

Time passes quickly. Although computers are convenient, it is not convenient for people to use them, and it takes a lot of time.

Even when it was time to eat, Lin Xiao and Chen Bao would stick to their posts, and other graduate students would be responsible for bringing them meals from the cafeteria.

What I brought was a box of rice, a box of rice, and another box of mixed potato shreds, green vegetables and twice-cooked pork.

Lin Xiao has no requirements for food. Except for bitter gourd, he is basically not picky about food. He finished his meal quickly, and then continued to stay in front of the computer, performing various simulations.

In this way, from nine o'clock in the morning, they worked until nine o'clock in the evening.

Young Lin Xiao is fine, but Chen Bao, a man in his 60s and [-]s, has been so persistent. After seeing it, he secretly admired it in his heart.

This is probably a real scientist, who will dedicate his life to scientific research.

Especially Chen Bao, a scientist who has provided great assistance to national defense technology.

Although for people like them, this is just their interest, and they are happy to do this kind of thing, but people who enjoy the stability brought by them in silence should also express their gratitude to them in their hearts.

Until 09:30 in the evening.

"Okay, let's stop here today, Lin Xiao, how do you feel? You are quite familiar with it."

Chen Bao stopped his hand operating the mouse, stood up and stretched, then asked Lin Xiao with a smile.

Lin Xiao said OK, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I also tested it myself a while ago, and modified the GDL-4 steel."

"Oh? How's the result? Do you want Xiao Huang and the others to try it out for you?"

Lin Xiao waved his hands quickly, and said dumbfoundedly: "No need, no need, I just tried it casually, maybe it's some kind of waste."

"Hehe, maybe it will be successful?"

Chen Bao waved his hand: "Our business was called alchemy in ancient times. No one can say for sure about luck."

"Okay, that's it for today, let's continue tomorrow."

……

Continue tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

About ten days later, Lin Xiao and Chen Bao modified the unit cell structure no less than eight times after sewing and repairing. Sometimes their models would directly crash in their software, that is, their A model was judged unsuccessful by the software.

However, until the ninth time, I finally succeeded in creating a material model that can satisfy the physical interpretation. According to the calculation simulation, the creep resistance of this material should be able to increase by about 20%.

Then it is to design the relevant production process according to their model.

This has nothing to do with Lin Xiao, unless he directly uses truth points. However, since Chen Bao and the others can directly design how to produce this thing, there is no need to spend truth points.

Time passed quickly, from March to April.

Another day, in the foundry laboratory of No. [-] research room.

"It's out, it's out."

Huang Haoran yelled, and then they quickly ran to the electric arc furnace, poured the molten titanium alloy water into the consumable congealing shell furnace next to it, and poured it into shape. This kind of furnace can effectively prevent the crucible from polluting the active metal liquid.

After cooling down, finally, a titanium alloy metal rod appeared in front of them.

Next, it's back to the material testing laboratory next door for creep performance testing.

However, the results disappointed them.

This new material, which took them another half a month to come up with, has a big gap between the actual creep resistance and the creep resistance calculated by their previous simulation.

Although it is also stronger than the original material, it is only a little bit stronger.

At this point, even 1% is not reached, and this obviously does not satisfy them.

"Continue to modify it, let's try it out and add some other elements into it."

Regret appeared on Chen Bao's face, but he quickly recovered and said.

If they were lucky, they might have met their expectations directly in one go, but their luck is obviously not very good now. Of course, being able to be a little bit stronger is at least better than not being stronger at all.

So next, they returned to the computer room and continued the simulation.

Lin Xiao looked at the mathematical model displayed on the computer and felt troubled.

Next, what should we do?

Suddenly, he remembered the system.

Is it possible to see if your research direction is correct through the system's quotation of truth points?

Then you can go whoring for nothing?

Thinking about it this way, his eyes lit up, it seemed feasible?
