Chapter 549 High Temperature Alloy

Although Li Mo did not know that Iran's senior management was having a heated discussion on whether to agree to his proposal to establish a strategic partnership, he also knew that such cooperation could not be decided in a few words. Li Mo, who was anxious, was planning to find something to do for himself and distract himself.

At this time, Abik, the leader of the expert group at Camel Mountain Base, called and reported good news to him.

Li Mo took the two secretaries, Fox and Fan Qingqing, and immediately went to the base in a modified jeep under the escort of two meteor team members.

In a tight laboratory in the hinterland of Camel Mountain, Li Mo finally knew what the good news Abick said was.

"Boss, look at this. This is a special alloy we made after studying the fragments of the sarcophagus brought back by Captain Luo." It is not the leader of the expert group, but Wu Tao, the head of the materials section under the expert group. He is one of the first members of the comet group. During his study abroad, he mainly focuses on materials science, especially in the field of metal materials, with great achievements. After the return of the comet group, Wu Tao and two other members who specialize in polymer materials and composite materials all joined the materials department of the base expert group and became the technical pillar of the organization in materials science research.

The fragments of the sarcophagus brought back by Captain Luo in Wu Tao's mouth were the fragments of the suspected alien sarcophagus when he was excavating the treasure of former President Egal of Somaliland. At that time, the meteor commandos led by Luo Xiang risked their lives to obtain more than a dozen sarcophagus fragments and a mysterious black metal fragment the size of a palm. . Originally, the study of these mysterious fragments was conducted by two materials experts from Afghanistan, but due to the lack of technical strength, the study of these fragments has not progressed much. This situation was not improved until the return of the comet group and the addition of Wu Tao and other three people.

Li Mo thought that even with the participation of members of the comet group such as Wu Tao, it would take three or five years to thoroughly study these alien-related materials and at least make a certain degree of progress. Unexpectedly, less than a year later, the Materials Department brought him such a big surprise and used the research of these mysterious fragments to make an alloy.

"Kun Chief Wu, tell me, what are the characteristics of the alloy you have developed?" Li Mo asked in a hurry. Everyone knows that alloys play a pivotal role in many industries, such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low density and high strength, or strong toughness, etc. The use involves aerospace, marine, machinery manufacturing and even electronics and other industries. It can be said that the successful research of each alloy has an epoch-making impact on some industries today.

Star Organization, as an arms company, has a higher demand for alloys. Because all arms are inseparable from the materials made. If you want to get ahead in today's highly competitive arms industry, you must have the advanced and even leading materials and manufacturing processes in the industry. For a munitions company, it is the top priority.

"Boss, this alloy is internally called silicon-uranium alloy. Listening to the name, the boss should know that the alloy is a new alloy composed of silicon and uranium. However, the uranium element here is not uranium-235, which can make atomic bombs, but uranium-238. Boss, you see, this is a molecular diagram of silicon-uranium alloy. Wu Tao took the black alloy and led Li Mo and others to a working computer, pointing to the enlarged diagram of the atomic structure in the display screen.

Although Li Mo has developed all his spiritual power, his intelligence has soared to the point that ordinary people can only look up, but he is still dizzy at the complex molecular structure map displayed on the display screen. He has seen some molecular structure diagrams before, but those diagrams look very simple, mostly composed of several atoms. However, in the molecular structure diagram in front of him, Li Mo initially estimated that there were at least hundreds or even more atoms. Li Mo doubted how so many atoms formed a stable molecular structure. And how big should the molecular mass of so many atoms be?

"Forget it, Section Chief Wu, I have a headache when I look at it. You'd better introduce to me. What are the special names of this silicon-uranium alloy? What can be used? After a long time, Li Mocai shook his head and said. These professional things should be left to professional people. As the big boss of the organization, he only needs to know the use of this alloy and what benefits it can bring to the organization.

Wu Tao did not intend to give Li Mo a chemistry class, but just let Li Mo have a general understanding.

"Okay boss, the discovery of silicon-uranium alloy is still an accident." When Wu Tao said this, he didn't look embarrassed at all. Every invention or discovery is full of surprises. Of course, this accident is only to enlighten people. How to analyze this accident thoroughly and make it completely your own depends on your ability. Just like Newton's discovery of the law of gravity, it was just an accident for Newton to fall from the tree, but without Newton's next persistent research, he would not have found the law of gravity from this accident.

"This matter has to start three months ago. At that time, we put down our research on ferrous metals and tried our best to tackle the problem. Because according to the information brought back by Captain Luo, we believe that this kind of fragment has a certain intelligence. Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to identify a certain blood or a person's DNA surname in fantasy. If we can study the fragments of the sarcophagus thoroughly, there will be too many uses. If this special surname is used to make an enemy identification system, it will be more powerful than the current international mainstream software-based recognition system, and it will be less likely to be cracked by the enemy. Most importantly, if we can master the surname that absorbs a specific substance, we can make the most advanced invisible material in the world..." Wu Tao was slightly excited and even waved his hands and said loudly. As a scientific researcher, especially young people like them who have a lot of knowledge, I hope to study epoch-making inventions and achieve achievements that are difficult for the world to look up to.

Li Mo, Abick and others were infected by Wu Tao's words one after another, and their moving expressions were displayed.

"It's just a pity that so far, we only know that these fragments are a special ceramic based on silicon dioxide and an amorphous living carbon, which has gone through some processes that we don't know. Although we have figured out the molecular structure of this ceramic at present, because there is no production process and its principle, those ideas are just extravagant hope at present. Wu Tao suddenly sighed with regret on his face.

"Ha ha, don't be discouraged. How long have you been studying? We have plenty of time to study them, and I believe that with everyone's efforts, these problems will be successful. Although Li Mo also had some regrets, especially Wu Tao painted a beautiful picture for him, but he told him that this was just a blueprint, and there was still a long way to go for success. However, he is the big boss of the organization. He can't let everyone think of decadence or even retreat. He quickly opened his mouth to comfort him.

"You'd better tell me the special surname of the alloy." Li Mo opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere in the laboratory and smiled relaxedly.

Wu Tao is also a person who can afford to let go. The young man is full of ** and will not be difficult at all. He soon forgets the entanglement in his heart and introduces silicon uranium alloy to Li Mo in detail.

"The discovery of silicon-uranium alloy was an accident. When we were studying sarcophagus fragments into a bottleneck, we thought of substance Y being studied in Laboratory No. 9." When Wu Tao said here, he looked at the two women behind Li Mo. He knew that the Y substance could be said to be the biggest secret of the organization at present, which was higher than the important surname of nuclear weapons. The atomic bomb is gone. As long as the Y substance is in hand, it can be made. But once the Y substance is leaked, it can definitely cause chaos in the world.

"Because Y matter and sarcophagus fragments are things that may be related to aliens, we speculate whether they are related to something. A small amount of Y substance was transferred from laboratory No. 9. I want to see if there is a relationship between the two. At the beginning, we used many methods, but there was no way to make a reaction between the two, whether it was physical or chemical. Just as we were about to give up. Suddenly, some black powder was found on the work surface where the fragments of the sarcophagus were placed. You should know that this laboratory is specially made, and dust removal will be done every once in a while. As the most important workbench, it is not only in a dust-out situation, but it is absolutely impossible for black powder to appear. This accident is of great interest to us. Through the study of this black powder, it is confirmed that it is an alloy powder that we have never found. In particular, when the molecular structure of this powder was first studied, everyone did not believe it, and even thought that there was something wrong with the equipment. Later, we studied it with the same equipment in other laboratories, and finally confirmed that this is a special alloy that is impossible to make with modern technology. Its molecular structure is very complex, and it consists of too many atoms, but the stable surname is abnormally high. In the laboratory test, we used cryogenic technology and high temperature to stabilize it, and found that the molecular structure of this alloy would not change at a low temperature of minus 182 degrees and a high temperature of 1600 degrees. And these two temperature degrees are the limits that our laboratory can do at present. Wu Tao introduced the first special surname of this alloy with a ruddy face.

"Hang..." Li Mo and others took a cold breath when they heard the words. Looking at the black alloy in Wu Tao's hand, his eyes were shining. Not to mention whether this alloy has any other special surnames, this special surname alone determines the huge value of silicon-uranium alloys.

In today's world, there is an alloy called high-temperature alloy, which is defined as an alloy that can withstand certain stress and anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance at 600-1200 degrees. Moreover, these high-temperature alloys are made of iron, nickel and cobalt based on other metals and non-metals. Now the alloy in Wu Tao's hand is a silicon-uranium alloy, which is an epoch-making discovery. Moreover, those high-temperature alloys can only withstand a certain amount of stress at 600-1200 degrees, which causes high-temperature alloys to master technology in only a few countries in the world. They are mainly used in spacecraft, rocket engines and nuclear reactors. Silicon-uranium alloys are alloys that will not change at a high temperature of 1600 degrees. Although 1600 degrees is only 400 degrees higher than 1200 degrees, the gap is too big. If the current high-temperature alloy is regarded as the first generation, the silicon-uranium alloy in Wu Tao's hand is at least the third or even the fourth generation, and the technology is decades ahead.
