Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 113 Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Zhong Cheng's verification of the production process of the soil material is not only to be able to produce the soil material in the laboratory, but also to consider the mass production process of each step of the process.

The production equipment, testing equipment, and control system required in the mass production process must be designed in advance, and cost issues must also be taken into account.

Although military use doesn't pay much attention to cost, it's impossible for Zhong Cheng to produce sky-high price soil materials, which is an irresponsible behavior.

Such a test process is extremely cumbersome and requires people to concentrate on each step of the test and record the change response of each step of the test.

Even with the assistance of Liu Yuzhu and the technicians sent by the power battery factory, thousands of tests were carried out for nearly a month.

4 month 15 day.

The mass production process verification test of the soil material was finally successful.

At the same time, Yang Xi and Lin Wei's work on the improvement of the chaotic alloy was also completed.

Lin Wei is as familiar with Chaos Alloy as Zhong Cheng is with Nuwa Industrial Mother Machine, and the entire improvement work went very smoothly.

In response to the special use environment and requirements of Jingwei UAVs, Lin Wei developed two new models: Chaos Alloy 318 for Zhurong Electric Push and Chaos Alloy 416 for UAV bodies.

The successful research and development of these two new alloys has laid a solid foundation for the further improvement of the performance of Zhurong Electric Push and Jingwei UAV.

And while Lin Wei was researching new chaotic alloys, he also actively participated in Zhong Cheng's research and development of soil materials, provided a lot of valuable advice, and accelerated the research and development of soil materials.

While the work of these two groups is progressing smoothly, the research and development of photonic transistors and optical chips that Gui Bin and Zhou Hu are in charge of have not made much progress.

Photonic transistors need sophisticated nanotubes and porous materials, and optical chips need photonic transistors.

Jiang Yan, Li Mei and Zhao Wei are also in trouble in the research and development of new lasers, which also use soil nanotubes and optical chips.

At the plenary meeting of the project team held by Zhong Cheng, everyone agreed that this whole set of related technologies is interrelated and should come from one R&D institute or the same place.

Zhong Cheng avoided the discussion of this issue, and only accelerated the research and development progress of soil nanotubes.

Within a few days, he also ran into a problem.

The technical principle of making soil nanotubes is very simple. Instead of using the existing manufacturing process, it is a brand-new mold forming process.

It is to make a metal tubular mold with a diameter of only 5 nanometers, and roll the pure graphene superconducting sheet material, that is, the soil material, into nanotubes in the mold pipe.

The processing of this tubular mold is already at the atomic level, and has entered the microscopic field. Traditional mechanical processing equipment is useless. The current processing method is only laser lithography.

However, the laser lithography machine with the highest precision can not reach the processing accuracy of 5 nanometers, let alone the 1 nanometer processing accuracy required by the technology provided by the "Daguo Heavy Industry System".

However, the lithography machine with the new laser as the main component provided by Daguo Heavy Industry System can achieve this processing accuracy.

Now a vicious circle has formed. If you want to make soil nanotubes that meet the requirements, you must first create a new type of laser, but the new type of laser needs soil nanotubes.

This is a chicken-and-egg problem.

The project team was stuck by this problem. At present, there is no such carbon nanotube made of graphene superconducting material in the world, and no alternative material can be found.

The only way now is to change the process of making soil nanotubes to bypass the problem of having to use metal nanoscale molds.

Zhong Cheng had a headache. This was a task that could be completed in a short time, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

……

Three days later, Zhong Cheng's 99th simulated production process in the computer failed again.

He walked back and forth in the laboratory in great distress, resisting the idea of ​​smashing the computer.

The production process provided by the 'Great Power Heavy Industry System' was summed up by countless people from the 9527 parent star civilization for countless years, and it is already very perfect.

It is easy to change the environmental parameters, but it is impossible to change the core technology of the process.

Lin Wei has studied with them in the past two days. He can provide more suitable materials for metal molds, but he also has no idea about the process without using metal molds.

At present, the synthesis methods of carbon nanotubes on Blue Star mainly include arc discharge method, laser evaporation method and chemical vapor deposition method.

In addition, researchers have successfully prepared carbon nanotubes by electrolysis, solar energy, ball milling, flame and explosion methods.

But they have discussed, can not be applied to make up with soil nanotubes.

Seeing Zhong Cheng's anxious look, Liu Yuzhu asked Zhong Cheng to go with him to the leisure area on the rooftop to relax and find inspiration.

It's good for Zhong Cheng to think about it, if this continues, he will collapse.

The pressure of starting the East China Sea Project made him breathless. How could he be worthy of the country's great trust if he couldn't start work for several years.

Seeing that Lin Wei was still busy next door, he didn't call him.

Zhong Cheng and Liu Yuzhu went to the rooftop leisure area, swam for a while, practiced boxing for a while, and played with equipment in the fitness area for a while, sweating profusely.

But there is no inspiration, inspiration is not forced out!

The two sat in the teahouse and asked for a few bottles of drinks, chatting while drinking, trying not to talk about troublesome things at work.

"Zhuzi, what happened to you and Jiang Yan?"

"What else can I do, neither salty nor bland!"

"Huh? Didn't you go to her house during the Chinese New Year? Is there a problem?"

Liu Yuzhu's words aroused Zhong Cheng's attention. Zhao Wei's matter has not been resolved yet, don't let Liu Yuzhu have another problem.

Liu Yuzhu said helplessly: "Her family is very satisfied with me. Her mother likes me very much, but Jiang Yan herself is a little hesitant."

"What happened to Jiang Yan?"

"She thinks it's inappropriate to be two years older than me, and she also considers that after the project ends, she will go back to the capital, and I can't go with her."

"This?!" Zhong Chengcheng was puzzled, why did his team members fall in love and have so many problems? Could it be that the more cultured they are, the more they think?
"Zhuzi, tell Jiang Yan that if you two become successful, as long as she is willing, I will be responsible for keeping her, and you can solve the age issue yourself."

"Great! Zhong Cheng, no, you will be my boss in the future. If you can solve her work problem, everything else will be easy."

Zhong Cheng couldn't laugh or cry, he became his boss by helping him get his girlfriend, what was going on in his head?
Liu Yuzhu's mood brightened, and he became concerned about Zhong Cheng's affairs, "By the way, boss, how is the matter between you and Lieutenant Colonel Ye?"

After the Spring Festival, Zhong Cheng talked to Liu Yuzhu and others about him and Ye Wenxin, lest they always want to find him a girlfriend.

"so so!"

After he came back from the capital, he hadn't contacted Ye Wenxin for two months. He had Ye Wenxin's phone number, but he didn't know what to say, so he asked her about quantum mechanics?
Ye Wenxin might think he is sick!
