Galaxy Technology Empire

February 1st.

There are still three days until New Year's Eve.

Many people are already pasting Spring Festival couplets and buying new year's goods.

Huang Haojie is still busy in various research institutes.

Under strong pressure, the semi-finished dark red sub-metallic oxygen is slowly transforming.

Li Xiang looked at the instrument parameters and then recorded some data.

After these days of experiments, the Materials Research Institute has successfully improved the stability of submetallic oxygen (dark red) to a very good state.

At this time, the density of submetallic oxygen (dark red) reaches 1971 kilograms per cubic meter and can be maintained at standard atmospheric pressure below 46 degrees Celsius.

Below 46 degrees Celsius is the stable zone, 46 to 76 degrees Celsius is the relatively stable zone, and above 76 degrees Celsius is the unstable zone.

After a while, the semi-finished sub-metallic oxygen (dark red) in the instrument has turned into a more dense and stable sub-metallic oxygen state.

The researchers took out the stable submetallic oxygen from the instrument and took it to the laboratory for testing.

"Ordinary submetallic oxides have no problems and can be produced on a large scale soon, but superconducting submetallic oxides are difficult to produce." Li Xiang said helplessly to Huang Haojie.

Huang Haojie has already read the experimental report. Superconducting submetallic oxygen is also a light blue submetallic oxygen. The reason why superconducting submetallic oxygen is difficult to produce is mainly due to mutation problems.

At first, Li Xiang and their experiment went smoothly. Within three days, they raised the maintaining temperature of superconducting submetallic oxygen to about minus 23 degrees Celsius.

However, after entering minus 23 degrees Celsius, the properties of the superconducting submetallic oxygen suddenly changed. After the pressure exceeded the critical point, the superconducting submetallic oxygen suddenly disappeared in its superconducting properties.

The entire superconducting submetallic oxygen, after breaking through the critical point, turns into a dark red stable submetallic oxygen.

"There's a long way to go!" Huang Junjie spread his hands helplessly.

"I'm really not willing to give in! If superconducting submetallic oxygen can be stored at room temperature, the production cost will definitely not be as expensive as that of iron-silver room-temperature superconductors." Li Xiang said unwillingly.

"Scientific research is not infrastructure. Sometimes what we lack is a little bit of luck."

"I plan to continue the project of room-temperature superconductors, how about it?"

"You are the director of the Materials Research Institute, you decide for yourself."

"Then continue with the project."

"Actually, we don't have to get too far into the details. There are still a lot of elements on the periodic table. Why not try other elements." Huang Haojie suggested.

Li Xiang looked at him in surprise: "Why didn't I think of it?"

"The authorities are obsessed with it," Huang Junjie replied with a smile.

"If I choose other elements, I would consider nitrogen and sulfur to start with." Li wanted to name two elements.

Huang Junjie was not surprised by this answer. The reason why he chose nitrogen and sulfur was mainly because of their large reserves and easy availability.

And those rare elements are not among the first considerations.

After all, Galaxy Technology itself has iron-silver room-temperature superconductors. If the cost of the newly developed room-temperature superconductors is still the same, what do I need from you?

Therefore, rare elements are the first to be eliminated. Rare gases such as helium and tellurium, which are also oxygen group elements, do not need to be considered.

Even if it is developed, the price will definitely be very impressive, so there is no need to do this kind of useless work.

Therefore, nitrogen, which is the most abundant in the atmosphere, and sulfur, which is among the oxygen family elements, are the first choices for experiments.

As for other elements, let’s wait until the results of nitrogen and sulfur come out.

"Then I wish you success immediately."

"I hope everything goes well!" Li Xiang replied, raising his glasses.

"By the way, Happy New Year!"

"Um...it's New Year already?"

"..." Huang Junjie didn't know how to answer this question.

"See if you're free." Li Xiang said to himself, opening the holographic bracelet, and then looking at his schedule:

"It will be held on the 6th...on the 7th..." he muttered while flipping through the schedule.

"Forget it, just make a phone call and go back."

"Let's go home and spend New Year's Eve at home!" Huang Junjie couldn't stand it anymore.

This guy is too obsessed with research work. He stays in the institute all day long and never goes home. Although his villa is less than three kilometers away from the institute, there are only a handful of days he can go back to it throughout the year.

Fortunately, Li Xiang is not an only child, otherwise his parents would not be happy even if they lived in a villa.

A typical scientific research geek is someone like Li Xiang, a man who has a laboratory where he doesn't even need a woman.

"When is New Year's Eve?"

"No. 4, the day after tomorrow." Huang Junjie replied helplessly.

"No, I have one on the 4th..."

"As big as you! Put everything back one day. If you don't want to take this leave, you have to take it! Otherwise, I will ask Chengan to ask someone to kidnap you back."

Damn it! Even if I take a holiday, it must be enforced. Do you think it’s easy for me?

Watching Li Xiang reluctantly return to the laboratory.

He almost spit out his blood. Others are eager to take a vacation every day, but these guys are eager to work overtime every day.

Of course, this has something to do with the scientific research system of Galaxy Technology. After all, those researchers who have made great achievements are definitely diamond kings.

Just like Li Xiang can easily earn more than one billion yuan a year, and Dr. Yuan Quan of the Seawater Desalination Research Institute can also earn more than one billion yuan a year with his seawater desalination film and gold extraction film.

Although there are only a few top researchers with this kind of income, even an ordinary researcher can easily earn one million a year.

Moreover, their money is not put in the bank to deposit interest, but is invested by the Mars Group's trust fund. The annual growth rate is generally around 5 to 15%.

In addition, Galaxy Technology will reward or allocate shares of some of its companies to employees.

The employees of Galaxy Technology are all high-income groups, so many employees work hard in order not to lose their jobs.

Researchers, on the other hand, are interested in royalties and shares.

…

Huang Haojie asked Zhong to inform the institute management committee and ask them to formulate a holiday and rest plan as soon as possible to prevent some researchers from being in the institute all day long. If something happens, it will not only be a loss, but also a trouble.

After arranging this matter, Huang Haojie came to the Hydrogen Oxygen Engine Research Institute.

Inside the mountain laboratory of the institute.

Huang Haojie and director Qin Tongxing were watching the testing of a rocket engine.

Boom boom boom...

The light blue tail flame, even through the thick protective glass, can still feel the violence contained in the engine.

On the instruments on the side, Huang Junjie looked at the important parameters of the two rocket engines, specific impulse and thrust.

[Specific impulse: 372 seconds...377 seconds...]

[Thrust: 547 tons. ]

Bi Chong is still beating continuously.

Specific impulse is the momentum that can be generated per unit of fuel, which means combustion efficiency. In layman's terms, it means whether it is resistant to burning or not.

The greater the specific impulse of the rocket engine, the greater the load, which is applicable under any circumstances.

The greater the thrust of the rocket engine, the greater the load, which is obvious in the first stage, less obvious in the second stage, and has a very small impact in the third stage.

Therefore, generally speaking, the first stage or booster uses kerosene and solid engines with large thrust and relatively small specific impulse, while the second and third stages generally use hydrogen-oxygen engines with small thrust and high specific impulse.

However, the hydrogen-oxygen engine does not necessarily have low thrust, it is just that the technology cannot meet the requirements for large thrust.
