Chapter 1463 Incredible Circuit

in the laboratory.

The orange-yellow sphere was placed in an airtight lead-shell container.

Eight flexible robotic arms carrying special probes are located inside the container and regularly distributed around the orange sphere.

The calibrator was turned on, and with the circles of infrared beams pointing on the surface of the metal sphere, Lu Zhou, with the help of his assistant Xiao Ai, skillfully set up the data collection plan, and then pressed the button to start the detection.

The eight micro-element neutron beams were released instantly, penetrated the outer shell of the "Killing Core", passed through eight spatial coordinate axes, and eight probes on the mechanical arm respectively analyzed the data of the sample from the macroscopic and microscopic levels. A comprehensive collection was carried out.

First of all, at the macro level, the parts of the entire metal sphere were analyzed and disassembled to the extreme, and presented in front of Lu Zhou in the form of a holographic image.

At the microscopic level, the materials of each part, and even a series of detailed information such as the spatial arrangement of atoms and molecules, chemical bonds and molecular bonds, etc., are all collected and summarized in an all-encompassing on the form.

According to the data in the table, Xiao Ai, who was acting as an assistant, quickly drew it into a visual chart and presented it on the light blue holographic interface floating aside.

"Unbelievable..."

After staring at the scanned data on the holographic panel for a long time, a hint of surprise gradually appeared in Lu Zhou's eyes.

He originally thought that the materials that make up the core of the entire killing would be things that could not be analyzed at the technical level on Earth for the time being. But he didn't expect that the material presented in front of him was unexpectedly easy to understand.

At least, it's far from being so mysterious that he can't understand it.

"The surface of the sphere is a layer of molybdenum-titanium alloy...the way the metal atoms are stacked is a bit special, and the dispersed carbides formed by the molybdenum and the carbon in the alloy are very interesting."

Although such technology can also be achieved in the 21st century, it is difficult to make discrete carbonized material points so evenly distributed in the material, even with the technology of the 22nd century.

At least, according to the public information that Xiaoai helped him collect from the Jinling University database, there is no mention of similar technologies, and it seems that no one is doing research in this direction.

Putting aside the material of the spherical shell for the time being, Lu Zhou continued to look at the inside of the spherical shell.

It didn't matter what he looked at, when his eyes fell on the holographic image corresponding to the internal structure of the spherical shell, he froze there.

There are only layers of blade structures of carbon materials, which are tightly arranged in a helical shape inside the spherical shell, leaving only nano-scale gaps between the layers.

If it weren't for the special lens, it would not even be possible to observe such an astonishing shape.

Not only that, the blades are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Although at first glance it looked ordinary, no different from ordinary double-layer graphene, but when Lu Zhou continued to adjust the probe and collected a few more sets of data, he soon discovered the hidden power behind the ordinary graphene. The mystery in it!

The seemingly smooth double-layer graphene surfaces, the delocalized large π bonds between each carbon hexagon, and the bond energy of the chemical bonds all have subtle differences.

Although this difference is not very big, it is particularly conspicuous in Lu Zhou's eyes.

With a slight movement in his heart, Lu Zhou immediately ordered.

"Xiao Ai, connect large π bonds with similar bond energy and present it to me in the form of a two-dimensional image."

"Yes, master! ()"

The cubic cone-shaped holographic beam transformed in the air, and a blue hexagonal grid plane soon appeared in front of Lu Zhou.

Lines of different colors connect the hexagons with similar energy of large π bonds in series. Lu Zhou stared at the intricate image for a while, and suddenly there was an expression of enlightenment on his face.

Perhaps because he noticed the expression on Lu Zhou's face, Xiao Ai, who was flying beside him like an elf with a big thumb, sat on his shoulder curiously and asked.

"Master, do you see anything? ()"

"Well... that's right."

Nodding, Lu Zhou pondered for a moment, then continued with a solemn expression.

"If my guess is correct..."

"These bilayer graphene should be circuit boards."

Xiaoai: "Eh? Isn't this obvious? ⊙▽⊙"

"That's what I said, but... the key point is how they realized this special integrated circuit," Lu Zhou continued after a pause, "The traditional printed circuit method is obviously not feasible, if My guess is correct... they should have worked hard on the chemical bond."

This integrated circuit is no longer an integrated circuit board in the traditional sense.

Its surface has no circuit lines that can be seen by the naked eye at all, but through some special technology, the delocalized large π bonds are surgically modified, so that the free electrons on the surface of graphene can pass through six The surface of the grid.

"Modify the chemical bond, and the connection formed by the movement trajectory of electrons on the macroscopic level is the abstract circuit of the entire circuit board." Although there are no real wires, it achieves the same effect as the circuit wires. The connection between electronic components is realized. "

"...Hiss, it's really hard to imagine how they did it."

No matter how thin the circuit lines on the circuit board are, there are limits.

Leaving aside the quantum tunneling effect, the theoretical limit of integrated circuit density on a PCB board mainly composed of copper wires is restricted by the diameter of copper atoms. As for the next-generation circuit board mainly made of graphene materials, the theoretical integration density of its circuit is also the same, which is restricted by the length of the diagonal of the carbon hexagon.

No matter how it is, the diameter of the atoms is there, and no matter how the wire is, it is impossible to be wider than the diagonal of a single carbon hexa grid.

However, this technology has jumped out of the framework of traditional wires.

They took advantage of certain physical and chemical properties of chemical bonds that humans do not understand for the time being. On the carbon hexagonal planes, they drew strips that allow electrons to pass through in specific directions and angles, but cannot capture their trajectories with the naked eye. Expressway.

Lu Zhou couldn't think of it for the time being, how the Jialan civilization did such an amazing thing.

Just as the Jialan civilization can't understand how the observer civilization combined the restless hadrons into a strange drop that surpassed the concept of molecules and jumped continuously in the universe.

The technological gap between the two parties is like the stars in the sky and the Pangu heaps on the ground. Even though they are both nuclear fusion, they are not at the same level in terms of scale or technology core.

Still, the clue is quite valuable, if only as an inspiration.

Lu Zhou felt as if a door to a new world had been opened in his head.

Before pushing open the door, in his cognition, the wires on the circuit board are all visible "open wires".

But now he discovered that integrated circuit technology can still play like this.

"These guys... really played with the material."

Lu Zhou shook his head with a smile and turned off the scanning device.

Today's harvest is quite satisfactory to him, and it can even be described as a good harvest.

Quietly waiting for the gamma value in the lead shell container to return to normal, Lu Zhou put on protective gloves and carefully took the orange-yellow sphere out of the lead shell.

Putting the killing core back into his arms, just as Lu Zhou backed up the experimental data and cleaned up the original, Xiao Ai, who was floating beside him, suddenly said.

"Master, it seems that someone is looking for you outside! ()"

"Find me?"

Lu Zhou frowned slightly, looked sideways at Xiao Ai's avatar, and asked.

"who?"

"There are a lot of people at the door... Xiao Ai doesn't know who it is, so I'll just show you. ()"

After all, a holographic window popped up on the azure blue holographic panel.

Looking at the crowd standing in a group of windows, Lu Zhou froze for a moment.

He understands that Principal Cai Mingrui and the dean of the Academy of Painting are here, and he also understands that researchers from the Institute of Computational Materials came to watch the excitement.

But the chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation...

What's the situation again?
