Universe dominance

In the Materials Industrial Park, next to the ultra-high temperature reactor, Li Fu was wearing a white coat. Next to him were Li Qianyu, Yao Tianyi and a large number of staff from the Materials Research Institute. At this time, everyone was looking at the huge electronic display. On the display was a super Some basic conditions of high temperature reactor.

The temperature number displayed on the monitor has reached 3200 degrees, which is the surface temperature of the ultra-high temperature reactor. The core temperature has exceeded 4000 degrees at this time. Of course, this temperature is tested using external instruments. It is so high. The terrifying temperature is impossible to measure with a thermometer.

A new material is being calcined in the ultra-high temperature reactor. It is also a new material made from a material formula that Li Fu took from the seeds of the civilization of the super-civilized Han Technological Empire.

Having participated in the research of the "Arrow" aerospace fighter, Li Fu knew that the materials for the core engine of the aerospace fighter and the materials for the shell of the aerospace fighter were all precious materials made of large amounts of rare metals.

Let’s not talk about other materials. The large amount of rare metals used alone is enough to make these materials more expensive than gold. Therefore, the cost of an aerospace fighter is as high as more than 30 billion Chinese dollars. This is just the cost price. , without considering other factors.

So Li Fu now wants to develop a new material that is cheap and can replace this expensive material. Once it is developed, apart from anything else, the orders from the country alone will be enough for Li Fu's material company to take advantage of. The bowl is full and the mouth is full of oil.

What's more, China's No. 1 Civilization has clearly stated that it will support the development of the space industry and encourage private forces to participate in the space industry. Obviously, in the future, both Chinese officials and private forces will have a large number of With the continuous inflow of funds, the market for this new material is absolutely leveraged, and it is possible for it to become Fuyun Group's flagship industry.

Of course, making money is secondary to Li Fu. Li Fu's real purpose is to promote China's development into space. Now everyone in the country is excited about the space industry, and all the big guys are working hard to prepare for the space crisis. Make a big splash in the space industry.

However, the cost of building aerospace fighters is too expensive. The cost alone is more than 30 billion. Now the Chinese government has only built three. This price is too expensive and will have a great impact on China's entry into the space industry. Even the government is somewhat unable to do anything, let alone ordinary civil forces.

Therefore, the cost of aerospace planes must be greatly reduced. Only in this way can China have more aerospace planes. If nothing else, without hundreds of aerospace planes, talking about the space industry would seem a bit cumbersome. It's too early.

An aerospace aircraft costing more than 30 billion yuan, if you add repairs, maintenance, ground handling, etc., even the government will find it very difficult. However, if the price can be reduced ten times, the price of an aerospace aircraft of about 3 billion yuan will be It is relatively easy. There is not much pressure from the government at all, and private capital can also play a role. This is of great help in promoting the development of the space industry.

With this low cost, the number of aerospace aircraft will naturally increase greatly. By then, the number and number of trips to and from space will increase. The development speed of the space industry is naturally self-evident.

When he first participated in the research on the "Arrow" aerospace fighter, Li Fu didn't think of just coming up with cheap materials. However, in the end, Li Fu chose to come up with materials that required the use of massive amounts of metals. The purpose was naturally the same. I hope I can take more initiative.

Among the civilization seeds that Li Fu obtained, there were a large number of material formulas from the super-civilized Han Technological Empire. The super-civilized Han Technological Empire could even be said to have thoroughly researched all the materials, regardless of any combination of materials or any method. Now that the Han Dynasty's technological empire has been researched, it is simply not easy to find materials suitable for aerospace aircraft.

You can easily find hundreds of thousands or millions of materials. In fact, some need to use massive amounts of rare metals, some only use ordinary metal materials, or only a few rare metal materials need to be used.

Of course, the processing method of using massive amounts of rare metal materials is obviously relatively simpler, while using ordinary metal materials obviously requires the use of many special material manufacturing methods. In fact, most of the methods cannot be realized by current technology, and only a few Some of them are achievable under current technological conditions.

"Well, the calcination time is almost up, you can lower the temperature."

Li Fu looked at the time on the huge display and gave instructions to the people on the side.

No one knows what is going on inside the ultra-high-temperature reactor. Even if Li Fu knows the formula and manufacturing method of the material, it still takes a while to make it. He has failed many times before, not in the manufacturing process. If there is a problem, there is a problem with the raw materials.

This is already the 82nd experiment. After summing up the lessons and experiences of failures again and again, Li Fu has already had a hunch that he will probably be able to successfully create new materials this time.

As the temperature in the reactor dropped rapidly, the fully automated equipment quickly opened the reactor and took out the new materials inside. Everyone couldn't help but look over excitedly.

I saw a huge mechanical arm grabbing a piece of completely black material. This material was completely black and exuded a unique luster of metal. After being calcined at a high temperature of several thousand degrees, it did not turn red or dazzling like other materials. Transparent, if nothing else, just the ability to withstand high temperatures can be seen now.

You must know that when a robotic arm made of ordinary steel comes into contact with this black material, huge heat is transferred to the robotic arm, and the robotic arm has begun to heat up rapidly.

"Chi!"

The huge robotic arm moved the black material to the cooling room. The automated cooling equipment sprayed water from all directions towards the new material. In an instant, countless water vapor filled the entire cooling room and made a huge sound. The smoke was filled and the water vapor was confused. .

Soon the advanced exhaust and drainage system drained the water vapor in the cooling room cleanly. It didn't stop until the material was completely cooled down and no water vapor appeared again.

The black material does not seem to have any change. Its volume has neither expanded due to high temperature, nor exploded due to rapid cooling, or the temperature difference between the inside and outside is too large, nor has it shrunk due to lowering of temperature. Obviously The performance is very stable and the color does not change at all.

It seems that the cooling just now has no effect on it at all, and it still maintains the same appearance as when it was freshly baked, dark and dark.

"It looks like it was successful this time."

Li Qianyu's beautiful eyes were shining as she looked at the dark material and said very confidently.

"Well, I think it's pretty much the same. It hasn't changed color or deformed at temperatures of several thousand degrees, which shows its ability to withstand high temperatures. It can maintain its original shape after being cooled quickly. It should be a success."

Yao Tianyi on the side also nodded. The two of them followed Li Fu and participated in the research process of new materials. They were quite confident in the results.

This new material grinds metal materials and ceramic materials into a powder state, and then uses adhesives for shaping. Finally, it is first placed in an ultra-low temperature environment for freezing, and then placed in a normal environment until it reaches normal temperature. Finally, Then it is sent to the ultra-high temperature reactor for calcination.

This step seems very simple, but just the first step, grinding the metal materials and ceramic materials into a powder state, made the whole team rack their brains, tried many ways, and failed many times, because the raw materials could only be ground into powder. The more perfect the powder state is, the more perfect the material will be after calcination.

Many previous experiments were due to the inability to perfectly crush metal materials and ceramic materials in the first step of material crushing, which ultimately led to failure.

Of course, with Li Fu here, all problems are no longer problems. In the end, each civilization is slowly solved. Li Fu also treats it as a training soldier. Although he knows how to solve the problem from the beginning, Li Fu just doesn't say it. These researchers under my command figured out their own solutions and were eventually slowly guided and trained.

"Everything depends on the data. Li Qianyu and Yao Tianyi, you two will take people to test this new material to see if it can meet the requirements."

Although Li Fu could basically conclude that this time it should be a success, he still asked the two of them to test the new materials and get the final data.

Soon, a detailed piece of data came into Li Fu's hands. Li Fu looked at it carefully and couldn't help but nod his head after reading it. It can withstand high temperatures up to 5500 degrees and will not undergo any deformation under such high temperatures. It can withstand harsh working environments, has very high thermal insulation capabilities, hardness, strength, etc. This is absolutely a perfect plasma engine material.

"Brother Fu, this material is very perfect, and the cost is relatively low. It is definitely a perfect material in the aerospace and aviation fields."

Yao Tianyi seemed very excited at this time. Being able to participate in such a perfect materials research project is definitely a very valuable experience for a researcher.

"It can be said to be perfect. The data in all aspects are very good. There is absolutely no problem in using it to build a plasma engine."

Li Fu nodded and participated in the research of the "Arrow" fighter jet. Li Fu was very aware of the stringent material requirements of the plasma engine.

"Just call it black gold, black gold!"

Li Fu's mouth showed a profiteer's smile.
