Chapter 1344 The More You Know, The Less Imagination
Professor Stanley was obviously not the only one who was shocked.
When Director Li returned to Shangjing with the sample and helped Lu Zhou register the patent ownership through the fast track, he then entrusted someone to send it to Hangke Group.
And almost the next morning after the samples were delivered to the Air Science Group, academician Yuan Huanmin rushed to the Bureau of Science and Industry, and found Director Li's office without stopping.
"That SF-1 super fiber! Which unit made it?!"
Staring dumbfoundedly at Academician Yuan standing at the door, Director Li's face was filled with astonishment that was not inferior to his.
If he remembers correctly.
That bag of samples should have been delivered to the old academician yesterday afternoon...
"Cough cough, drink some water to calm down first," Director Li coughed lightly, looked at the secretary standing in the office with the same surprised expression, and said, "Xiao Li, go pour a cup of tea for Academician Yuan. "
"Okay, okay."
Mu Mu nodded, the secretary named Xiao Li quickly walked to the cabinet with the electric kettle on the side, and after a while, he put two cups of tea on the coffee table in the office.
Standing up from the desk, Director Li pulled Academician Yuan to sit opposite each other on the sofa in front of the coffee table, and explained.
"Didn't you ask me to ask Academician Lu if he could get this thing out some time ago? I just asked casually when I went to Jinling this time, and then he gave it to me."
It was okay to hear the first part, but when he heard the latter part, Academician Yuan Huanmin, who was drinking tea, almost spit out the water he just drank.
"Then he gave you this thing?" Swallowing down a mouthful of tea, Academician Yuan's old face flushed, and his excited tone was full of bewilderment and disbelief, "What the hell?"
Looking at his bewildered expression, Director Li probably could understand his mood, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly.
"I know you are surprised. In fact, I am more surprised than you. From the time I asked him if he was sure to make it out, to the time he threw the finished product in front of me, it took less than five minutes. You can imagine the expression on my face. The expression on your face... is probably even more exaggerated than your current look."
Staring blankly at Director Li sitting across from him, Academician Yuan nodded first, then shook his head again.
If this is the case, he could indeed imagine the surprise in Director Li's heart at that time, but what he couldn't imagine was, how did Lu Zhou get this thing out in five minutes? !
"But how did he—"
"I know what you want to ask, but I don't know either. I just heard that the method of computational materials science is used to build models, and then the laboratory quickly verifies something...Leave it alone, tell me first, this stuff Is it useful?"
"Just easy to use?" Facing the eager eyes, Academician Yuan shook his head with a smile, and said with a slight sigh, "Have you ever seen a nylon rope?"
"Of course I've seen it before, what's the matter?"
"Replace the polyamide fiber twisted into nylon rope with the super fiber you gave me yesterday," Academician Yuan said in a serious tone looking at Director Li, "the tensile strength can be increased by at least a thousand times."
"A thousand times?!"
Shocked by this number, Director Li couldn't help but slightly moved, and couldn't help asking.
"Yes, is there such an exaggeration?"
Seeing the moved look on Director Li's face, Academician Yuan Huanmin shook his head.
"It's not an exaggeration at all."
The Young's modulus of nylon rope is about 1.4GPa, and the unit of Young's modulus of this SF-1 super fiber has changed from GPa to TPa, even considering the possible deviation caused by a series of factors such as technology, this This statement is not an exaggeration at all.
"It is no exaggeration to say that using this thing to make cloth or clothes is a bulletproof vest without ceramic linings. Using this thing to make a rope is the tensile strength of an aircraft carrier arresting cable. We also have other physical properties. Not tested, but in terms of tensile strength, I can't imagine a stronger material!"
"Is it so awesome..."
"It's so awesome," Academician Yuan said with a sigh, "It's only limited by our imagination, maybe..."
"not sure?"
Indulging in imagination for a while, it seemed that his idea was too exaggerated, Academician Yuan quickly shook his head and denied his idea.
"No, that...is still too exaggerated."
Being tickled by this guy's pedantry, Director Li became anxious immediately and asked.
"What are you saying that's too exaggerated?"
Halfway through talking, is this something people do?
Seemingly feeling that his actions were a bit immoral, Academician Yuan Huanmin hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.
"I mean, maybe even a space elevator..."
"It's also possible!"
...
As the saying goes, the more you know, the less you can imagine.
Scholars like Dyson are a minority after all, and most people will gradually lose those seemingly unrealistic illusions about science as their knowledge reserves increase and their understanding of science continues to increase.
Hearing the word "space elevator" from Yuan Huanmin, an old academician who has studied in the aerospace field for decades, is quite a strange thing for Director Li.
However, compared to the space station at the Lagrangian point and the scientific research station on Mars, this thing is still a bit beyond his imagination.
And no matter how surprised he is at this moment.
When Academician Yuan found his office, the entire material science community was shocked by a paper!
Mizuki forum.
"Have you read that paper? It's the one Lu Shen uploaded to Arxiv recently!"
"I didn't pay attention. We are engaged in materials engineering, and the research direction is not mathematics and physics. Why pay attention to his papers."
"He published a paper on the material direction!"
"Fuck?! Is it true? How long has it been since he studied materials? Didn't he go to study physics later?"
"Some time ago he resigned as the chairman of IMCRC... Don't talk about it, you should go and have a look. When our professor just saw that paper, his jaw was so surprised that he couldn't close his jaw!"
The title of the paper is so short that it can be read in even two seconds.
However, the amount of information in it is not generally large!
Since the birth of the subject of computational materials science, the theoretical calculation of complex systems has faced two major challenges. One is how to transform the accurate theoretical treatment at the microscopic level into a direct description of mesoscopic and macroscopic level phenomena, and the other is how to further improve the accuracy of the density functional method, which is the basis of existing large-scale calculations.
The limitations of the implicit functional density in describing van der Waals forces, metal bonds, etc. have always been a major headache for researchers in the direction of computational materials science.
However, now this problem is actually solved by a paper hanging on Arxiv so easily?
Everyone was shocked by this unexpected news.
And not only that!
What is even more surprising is that the name on this paper is actually Lu Zhou!
From the last achievement to the present, how long has he not been engaged in research in the direction of materials science, many people can't remember clearly.
No one thought that his resignation from the IMCRC Council was actually paving the way for his return to the field of materials science.
What was even more unexpected was that he had just done such an earth-shattering event as soon as he came back...
It's so scary! -
