The Science Fiction World of Xueba

A month passed by in a flash.

At two o'clock in the morning, Pang Xuelin finished the last derivation on the manuscript paper, and then input the partial differential equations into the quantum computer, and asked MOSS to check the results.

After just a few seconds, the calculation results appeared on the screen.

In the past, if this kind of calculation was applied to the supercomputing center, it would have to wait in line for at least a week, and then it would take several days and nights, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to get results.

And this kind of calculation needs to be performed at least seven or eight times in a row for more than half a year before it is possible to obtain a relatively complete mathematical model.

With MOSS and quantum computers, Pang Xuelin's research time has been greatly saved in terms of scientific computing.

Pang Xuelin nodded in satisfaction, and muttered to himself: "It's finally done, this month's work is not in vain, and the experiment can officially start now!"

After finishing speaking, he closed the computer, put away the manuscript paper, then turned off the desk lamp in the study, and came to the bedroom.

Yao Bingxia had already fallen asleep wrapped in a blanket.

Pang Xuelin used the remote control to quietly increase the temperature of the air conditioner, then kissed the girl on the forehead lightly, then lay down beside Yao Bingxia and closed his eyes.

When Pang Xuelin woke up again, it was already past eight o'clock the next morning.

The sound of Yao Bingxia cooking came from the kitchen.

Pang Xuelin got up and came out of the bedroom, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then leaned against the kitchen door, watching Yao Bingxia busy in front of the stove with a smile.

"Ah, Brother Lin, you're awake, wait a minute, the porridge and egg pancakes are ready, I'll stir-fry some cabbage!"

"good!"

Pang Xuelin smiled and nodded.

In the past month, the life of him and Yao Bingxia seemed to return to the days in the underground city of Jiangcheng.

When he was in a hurry to do research, Yao Bingxia usually either read books, or researched how to make delicious food for himself.

Occasionally, the two will go out to watch a movie.

The days passed plainly and warmly.

"By the way, Xiao Xia, don't cook for me at noon, I'm going to the laboratory on Yuquan Road."

"Oh, brother Lin, have you finished your research during this time?"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "It's almost there. After this time is over, I'm going to Germany to attend an academic report. Do you want to go together?"

Yao Bingxia froze slightly, his eyes suddenly turned into crescent moons with a smile: "Okay, okay!"

...

After dinner, Pang Xuelin drove directly to the carbon nanotube research center.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the laboratory, Pang Xuelin happened to meet Professor Wan Yi.

Wan Yi looked to be in his early forties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and most of his head was already bald.

Wan Yi graduated from Jiang University in his early years, and later went to Stanford to study abroad. After graduation, he stayed at the school to teach. He only returned to China a few years ago. He is the deputy dean of the School of Materials Engineering of Jiang University.

He is mainly engaged in the research of low-dimensional materials and nano-devices. He has improved the chemical vapor deposition growth method of carbon nanomaterials, and established a mathematical model to precisely control the growth of carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Like Li Changqing, he is also an expert in the field of carbon nanometers. It is precisely because of this that he was drawn into his team by Pang Xuelin as the deputy leader of the single-wall carbon nanotube material fiber project team.

During Pang Xuelin's absence, Wan Yi was mainly in charge of the preparatory work for the entire project.

"Professor Pang, you are here."

Pang Xuelin said: "Professor Wan, how is the black box prepared?"

Wan Yi exclaimed in amazement: "All kinds of equipment and sensors have been customized according to your requirements.

It cost more than 20 million in total, and it is currently being assembled. Professor Pang, what is your idea this time, everyone is muttering in their hearts! "

After the establishment of the project team, Pang Xuelin did not directly carry out the project, but assigned tasks to everyone, asking them to purchase various equipment through various channels to create a reaction black box.

Some parts are really not produced by manufacturers, so Pang Xuelin asked others to order them privately.

With such a large expenditure, Pang Xuelin's father is the investor of this project. Otherwise, if he seeks support from various national funds, writing a report alone is enough to destroy most of Pang Xuelin's brain cells.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "Professor Wan, you will find out later, you can find Huo Ziqian, Yu Anxiang, Wu Dong, Lu Zhengde, Ye Xingmin later, and I will wait for you in the conference room!"

"good!"

Wan Yi nodded.

Soon, under Wan Yi's leadership, Huo Ziqian, Yu Anxiang, Wu Dong, Lu Zhengde, and Ye Xingmin all came to the conference room.

Pang Xuelin has been waiting in the laboratory for a long time.

"Presumably everyone should be more curious about the project we are going to do next. This is an experimental plan I made. Please read it first..."

Pang Xuelin distributed the six printed documents to Wan Yi and the others.

The first moment they saw the title of the document, Wan Yi and the others showed surprise on their faces: "Preparation of meter-scale single-walled carbon nanotubes?"

Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, not surprised by the shock of everyone, and said: "Since the first discovery in 1991, the research on carbon nanotubes has gone through nearly forty years. The unique structure of carbon nanotubes endows them with excellent properties. , so it has broad application prospects in the fields of carbon nanotube composite materials, industrial additives, electronic devices and so on."

"However, due to the difficulty of highly selective growth and the limitation of macro-fabrication technology, electronic devices constructed of carbon nanotubes are still limited to laboratory-level prototype devices, and carbon nanotube additives play a role based on high-strength/high-conductivity properties. The industrial additives used in the industry did not play the leading role of carbon nanotubes. As for carbon nanotube composites, they basically have no practical application value until a breakthrough is made in the high-purity macroscopic preparation of carbon nanotubes."

"The structure determines the properties, and the preparation determines the future. To give full play to the excellent properties of carbon nanotube materials and their leading role in applications, and even to find the killer application of carbon nanotubes, the structure-controlled preparation of carbon nanotubes is a key step. At present We have completed the preparation of ultra-high-purity single-walled carbon nanotubes in the laboratory. The next step is how to make breakthroughs in the application of carbon nanotubes. Our goal this time is to challenge single-walled carbon with meter-scale length Nanotube fibers!"

After Pang Xuelin's voice fell, the meeting room couldn't help but fell silent, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Soon, everyone turned their attention to Wan Yi.

After all, Wan Yi has the highest academic achievement in the field of carbon nanomaterials among all the people present.

Wan Yi pondered for a moment, and said: "Professor Pang, in my impression, the best growth results of single-walled carbon nanotubes in the laboratory can only reach the centimeter level, and it will reach the meter level in a while. Too big? As we all know, due to the bonding method of carbon-carbon double bonds, carbon nanotubes with perfect structure have relatively high Young's modulus and tensile strength. The Young's modulus is close to 1TPa, and the tensile strength is as high as 100GPa, while any Defects in the tube wall will lead to a decline in the mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, even if we really complete the preparation of meter-scale carbon nanotubes, it is not necessarily guaranteed that there are no defects in the tube wall, right?"
