After Schultz took a sip of hot tea, he said seriously:

"Professor Xu You, we found a new type of iron in the lunar soil samples you donated. This iron is different from all iron known on the earth, and it is a completely new structure. According to our prediction , the nature of this iron is very powerful, and it has great potential application value in many fields."

Hearing Schultz's words, both Xu You and Lin Shi had some indescribable feelings in their hearts.

For reasons of confidentiality, Xu You has not explained to scientists from other countries the discovery of a new type of iron on the moon.

However, what I didn't expect was that this new type of iron could also be found in lunar soil samples donated to other countries.

Xu You thought about it quickly, and then said:

"To be honest, we also found this special substance in the lunar soil samples. Because the value of the new type of iron is still under evaluation, it has not been announced to the public. I don't know if there are other sources besides your laboratory. Does anyone know the news?"

Xu You knew that since Schultz was able to analyze this substance in the lunar soil samples we provided, there is no reason why we cannot.

At this moment, there is no need to play dumb in front of Schultz.

Schultz immediately understood what Xu You meant, and continued:

"At present, only our laboratory and a small number of scientific research institutions in our country know this news. This is a sample provided to us by your country. Before publishing the results, we will definitely confirm with you."

"Well, thank you Mr. Schultz for your understanding."

Xu You didn't care about the issue of honor in the distribution of achievements, but was worried that this discovery would cause some countries or individuals to overreact, which in turn would bring about some negative effects.

After all, the new type of iron is not like other substances, but it has very important application value.

However, Xu You was very surprised how Schultz discovered the existence of this substance.

Because this iron exists in the ore, as long as it is refined, it is no different from the normal iron element.

It is difficult to see the special features of this iron through a normal microscope.

"Mr. Schultz, how did you discover this new type of iron?"

Schultz understood Xu You's curiosity, and quickly explained:

"Speaking of it, it was also a coincidence. I found that when this kind of iron undergoes a chemical reaction, it releases more heat than ordinary iron. Because of this, I guessed that there might be something special here, so I discovered The presence of new types of iron..."

After listening to Schultz's narration, Xu You was a little relieved.

Because there are indeed some coincidences in it, Xu You believes that it is difficult for scientists from other countries to discover the same information.

However, Schultz's own ability and experience did play a big role in it.

After talking about the analysis of lunar soil samples, Schultz shifted the topic to the lunar scientific research base.

"Professor Xu You, what you don't know is that in addition to materials science, I am also a design enthusiast. For the future moon base, I have some design ideas of my own."

As he spoke, Schultz turned on his computer and showed Xu You and Lin Shi his design of the moon base.

After seeing Schultz's design drawing, both Xu You and Lin Shi felt admiration.

"It's really a sci-fi design! Not only the scientific research base, but even the cities on the moon have been designed."

Although Schultz's design seems to be a powerful and unconstrained style, it does not rely entirely on imagination, and there are also a lot of scientific basis in it.

Schultz's design of the moon base can be said to be very hard-core, and many places may be realized in the future.

"My idea is to design a multi-functional lunar lander, so that the lander can also serve as a lunar housing. In the plan for building a lunar base, I suggest using more inflatable space capsules, which can greatly save money. The carrying mass of the rocket launch..."

From the perspective of saving the carrying mass, Xu You and Schultz have different plans, but the ultimate goal of these plans is the same.

These proposals of Schultz undoubtedly gave Xu You a lot of inspiration, and these proposals are not completely contradictory to Xu You's proposals.

"Thank you, Mr. Schultz, for your guidance. This conversation with you is really fruitful." Xu You said excitedly.

Xu You's gains in material science were predictable.

And the gains in the concept of the moon base are unexpected gains.

"Professor Xu You, I think the same way. I really hope that we can continue to have frequent academic exchanges like this!"

…………

After the week-long academic exchanges, our status in the world's academic circles has been further strengthened, no less than Sam's status.

The improvement of academic status has also allowed us to obtain more cooperation in scientific and technological projects.

Taking this opportunity, we put forward a request for project fund payment in Chinese currency, and received support from many countries.

Payment in Chinese currency may not have such a big impact on other countries, but it will greatly enhance the international status of Chinese currency.

The improvement of the status of the Chinese currency has the greatest impact on the rice yuan.

The hegemony of Mi Yuan finally began to be weakened.

Xu You believes that perhaps in a few years, the Chinese currency will replace the rice yuan and become the most influential currency in the world.

After this academic meeting ended, Xu You and others returned to Jijing University temporarily.

"Teacher, are you still studying the moon base designed by Mr. Schultz?"

Seeing Xu You fascinated by Schultz's design, Lin Shi couldn't help asking.

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Schultz to have such unique insights into design. As you heard, Mr. Schultz is willing for us to use his design plan for free."

"For Mr. Schultz, this is just his hobby. But teacher, can his design really be used directly?"

"It is definitely not possible to use it directly. There are many places in it that have not been strictly calculated. But I can guarantee that many ideas in this design are possible to be applied."

Compared with some science fiction writers' designs for moon bases, Schultz's design is undoubtedly more hardcore.

After all, this is a real Nobel Prize winner in physics, and Schultz's professional ability is beyond doubt.

For example, although the inflatable cabin plan inside will not become a regular plan for the future moon base, at least in the early stage of the construction of the moon base, it can completely become the housing for the first batch of moon landers.

At this moment, Cui Ying walked in suddenly.
