Chapter 388 Graphene Sponge

(repaired)

"Hello, my name is Cao Yuan, nice to meet you all."

Not long after Zhou Ji finished making the phone call, a thin, but bright-looking young man with glasses came to the activity room of the Xinghai scientific research team.

"Hello."

"welcome."

Xia Xu and the others greeted each other.

Since Cao Yuan was able to come, he had already agreed to join or had some intention to join their research group. Soon, everyone warmly invited him to sit down, intending to continue the discussion while the iron was hot.

Tang Youxin and Song Yuluo Lin couldn't help much as pure information majors, so they simply served tea and water by the side, and bought some fruit snacks for everyone.

As for Xia Xu and the others, in order not to interrupt their train of thought, after they got acquainted with each other for a while, they hurriedly continued to brainstorm.

Of course, before that, Xia Xu also glanced at Cao Yuan's attributes, and the result also caught his eye.

【Name】: Cao Yuan

【Life level】: 1

[Fate Potential]: Physicist (4 stars)

[Talent Potential]: Physics (4 stars); Materials Science (3 stars)

[Special]: None

【Favorite】: 67

Four star physics.

This is an extremely broad talent.

Although it may not be as good as Victor's hanging on the wall, five-stars are not so easy to see, especially five-star physics, which may not be able to produce one for thousands of years.

With a four-star physicist like Cao Yuan joining in, their Xinghai scientific research team will definitely be even more powerful in everything they do.

Especially in the design of passive exoskeletons, Cao Yuan, a physicist who also majored in materials science and is familiar with graphene, is probably more useful than Zhou Ji and Walker.

"It's okay to use graphene to make protective clothing, but I don't think it's necessary to give up the buffer layer. Instead, the entire passive exoskeleton structure can work on it..."

Under the eager discussion of everyone, Cao Yuan also felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and soon gradually integrated into it, and after listening to everyone's thoughts, he brought a new suggestion, or good news.

"Professor Gao from Zhejiang University recently made a breakthrough in graphene research. They produced a graphene sponge, which can also be called a carbon sponge..."

Cao Yuan deserves to be a professional graphene researcher, and he opened his mouth to tell a big news that has not yet been released.

Zhejiang University has now developed a graphene sponge, and it is said to be a sponge, but it is actually an aerogel.

Most of the inside of airgel is air, which is so light that it is almost negligible. It is also the lightest solid known in the world, and its density is lower than that of air.

But this graphene sponge is more than just light.

Graphene sponge has super elasticity and can return to its original shape after being compressed by 80%.

And the more it is compressed, the higher its density will be, just like the sponge becomes hard after being squeezed tightly, the stronger the impact force, the higher the strength and hardness of the graphene sponge will become, and finally reach the level similar to graphene sheet .

Therefore, its compression and impact resistance is extremely exaggerated, and it can admit more than 14,500 pounds of impact per square inch.

This also means that only a thin layer is needed, and materials such as carbon nanotubes are mixed as a skeleton to obtain an extremely light and thin body armor that can easily defend against large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles.

No, it shouldn't just be called body armor.

Because it can defend against both blunt and sharp weapons, plus a layer of graphene surface, it is a set of super protective clothing, and has a series of innumerable performance advantages such as heat dissipation, sweat absorption, breathability and sound absorption.

"The graphene surface layer plus this graphene carbon sponge only needs to implant a certain amount of carbon nanotubes as a skeleton. I don't think we need to design any additional passive exoskeletons..."

After hearing the news from Cao Yuan, Zhou Ji and Walker's eyes lit up, and they became completely excited.

This graphene sponge is only used to prevent bullets and reduce impact?

In their opinion, this is a bit too reckless.

Sponge, as the name suggests, is a sparse and porous structure that is compressed after absorbing the impact, and rebounds after the impact is buffered.

The graphene sponge is the best among them, even if it is compressed by 80%, it can return to its original shape.

An object can absorb the impact force and compress itself before rebounding. To put it simply, it is called a spring, and to say that it is a high-end point, it is some kind of energy storage structure.

Like other energies such as thermal energy and electrical energy, mechanical energy can be stored and transformed as long as there is a suitable method. For example, a wind-up watch stores the mechanical energy of twisting the mainspring and releases it slowly.

To be more exaggerated, use any mechanical energy, including manpower, to transport a large number of stones to high places. These stones are essentially regarded as 'batteries' that store mechanical energy.

When needed, the stones are thrown down, and the mechanical energy can be used by driving the rope pulley and the like, and the mechanical energy can be converted into electrical energy by cooperating with the rotary generator.

With the ready-made 'spring' of graphene sponge, they don't need to think about energy storage and conversion of mechanical energy. They only need a reasonable arrangement to make it a ready-made energy storage component.

Just like muscle contraction to store strength, accumulating one's own strength and then bursting out, it naturally has the effect of increasing the strength of the limbs.

Through structural design, they may also make the conversion and transmission of mechanical energy more excellent.

Just like many martial arts and fighting skills say that strength starts from the waist and legs, they can really transmit and concentrate the power of the legs, waist and abdomen to one point to form super explosive power.

And the stronger the impact the graphene sponge receives, the harder it becomes.

If the design is reasonable, using graphene sponge to weave a layer of 'skeleton', then the last link of the exoskeleton armor is perfectly solved.

Under normal circumstances, this layer of skeleton will be as soft as a sponge and will not affect activities at all, but as long as it is subjected to gravity and impact, it will harden and form a real bone, which acts as a spine to disperse weight and impact.

To give a vivid example, if a huge heavy object falls, if you reach out to lift it normally, you will be smashed to the ground.

But if there is such a layer of skeleton in the arms, legs, and spine that hardens quickly, then the arms and spine will not bend due to the weight, and the impact and gravity will be dispersed, and finally transmitted all the way to the ground.

In this way, not only the defense ability is enhanced, but also the core function of the passive exoskeleton, such as the weight-bearing ability, is also solved.

Bulletproof, stab-proof, impact-resistant, enhanced limb strength, load-bearing capacity, more efficient transmission and use of physical energy to reduce loss, isn't this the ultimate pursuit of passive exoskeletons.

The most outrageous thing is that it can be as light as a piece of clothing, without any additional mechanical structures and accessories.

It can be said that if it is manufactured in this way, it is the most perfect passive exoskeleton armor, which is far more practical than the powered exoskeleton that can be produced at this stage.
