I Am a Great Scientist

Chapter 320: Laser drilling rig

Views:

Human science and technology is developing rapidly and changing with each passing day. It has become very normal to manufacture scientific and technological products from science fiction movies, especially after the birth of Zhou Xing, a genius scientist, nano medical cabins, intelligent robots, AI chips, virtual games... all kinds of science fiction There will be an endless supply of technological products in the movie.

At this time, Zhou Xing said that he could develop a laser-type ground drill that appeared in the movie, and most people couldn't help but believe it.

However, there were still a group of experts and professors who frowned and looked at Zhou Xing suspiciously, not understanding how he could have the confidence to say such a thing.

The device described in the science fiction movie - Exploring the Heart of the Earth is 50 to 60 percent imaginary and cannot be manufactured with the current level of human technology.

Professor Manli frowned, looked at Zhou Xing and asked in confusion: "Zhou, using laser to drill into the earth is indeed feasible and efficient, but you have ignored two important points, so I'm afraid it won't succeed!"

Zhou Xing smiled slightly, looked at Professor Manli, and said with a calm smile: "Oh, what's the important point, Professor, please tell me!"

Professor Manli nodded and said: "First, the laser intensity required to crush rock formations is an astonishing number. No capacitive transponder can convert such a huge energy output; second, it may be difficult for us to find a way to build this The material used to mount the instrument is too big, and the energy consumption and construction time do not allow for it.”

"This technology is severely limited by materials and cannot be successful."

"No material can withstand such load intensity and convert energy efficiently."

“…”

Professor Manli's words have always been recognized by experts and professors, and they all expressed their disapproval.

Zhou Xingruo had expected it, looked at everyone confidently and explained: "This problem is actually not difficult to solve. Xingyao Group happened to have made a major breakthrough in materials. This material is very suitable for manufacturing this laser earth drill."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked. The observers looked at Zhou Xing with eyes that were like spitting fire, extremely hot. They never expected to hear him reveal such important information at this time.

"Zhou, what material is it?"

"Zhou, are you serious? What kind of material is it?"

"Zhou, is this material mature for application? When will it be launched on the market?"

"Zhou, can we cooperate in this field?"

“…”

As soon as Zhou Xing finished speaking, he was immediately surrounded by an excited crowd.

From ancient times to the present, the field of materials has always determined the progress of human civilization and science and technology, and its influence is extremely huge.

Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Steel Age... Semiconductor Age, Nanomaterials, the development speed of human civilization is closely related to the breakthrough of applied basic materials.

Molybdenum semiconductor materials have replaced silicon semiconductors. The human electronic field is gradually moving toward miniaturization, intelligence, and virtualization, and has entered a high-speed channel of rapid development.

Now, Zhou Xing publicly announced that he had made a major breakthrough in another material field. For a while, observers from all over the world no longer paid attention to the giant insect underground.

"Xingyao Group has completed the mass production process of graphene materials and will launch it on the market within a few days." Zhou Xing smiled and introduced:

Graphene mass production process.

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and shocked.

Representative observers from various countries or senior technical experts have a very clear understanding of the world's most popular graphene material.

Graphene has been hyped around the world for more than ten years since its birth. Researchers around the world have published more than 15,000 research results on graphene. However, this phenomenon is reasonable. Graphene is the lightest material made so far. Material, its strength is 100 times that of steel, it is more conductive and flexible than copper, and it has very strong high conductivity, high strength, ultra-lightweight... and other characteristics. Countries around the world regard it as the next material technology major breakthrough point.

"Zhou, what is the daily output of the graphene mass production process? How much is it worth per KG?"

"Zhou, can you tell us about the mass production of graphene?"

"Zhou, is this true? What is its mass production efficiency?"

“…”

The observers' eyes glowed green, looking at Zhou Xing with hungry wolf eyes, eager to get a piece of the pie.

Zhou Xing smiled, did not answer their questions, and solemnly reminded: "Everyone, the topic seems to have strayed. Should we get back to the topic first? We should wait until we kill the giant insect underground. talk later!"

Hearing this, everyone frowned. The situation was just as Zhou Xing said. The underground giant worms pose a genocidal and fatal threat to all mankind. If left unchecked, it won't be long before the entire United States Federation will be the first to suffer. Then, no need to For a long time, all countries will not be able to escape the same fate.

"Zhou, are you sure that biowave detector can work?"

"Zhou, how long does it take to build this machine?"

"Yes! When can we use this instrument?"

“…”

After hearing Zhou Xing's serious words, everyone's faces showed embarrassment. Now we are indeed not discussing cooperation in the field of materials, but we should find a way to kill the giant insect underground.

Professor Manli nodded, looked at Zhou Xing and asked expectantly: "Zhou, how do you plan to design this laser excavator?"

Hearing this, Zhou Xing walked straight to the podium, tapped the keyboard a few times, called up a drawing software, and while operating the keyboard and mouse to draw a sketch on the drawing software, he explained: "First, design the laser excavator. The most important enabling device is to use the performance of graphene to push the photoelectric conversion speed to the limit, creating a light source converter that converts electricity into light energy within 50 femtoseconds; next, the second important component - supercapacitor conversion. Machine... Fifth, we use 'ene alloy' refined from graphene and aluminum alloy to create a high-strength fuselage, reducing its size without affecting its functionality."

Everyone stared at the large command screen and listened to Zhou Xing's explanation. Soon, the outline of a bullet-like heavy machinery blueprint appeared on the large screen. The entire structure was extremely simple and clear at a glance.

"As long as it reaches the strength of laser gravel, this earth drilling machine is almost as good as that! Do you have any other questions?" Zhou Xing stopped drawing, turned to look at Professor Manli, and asked.

General Ston's eyes brightened as he looked at Zhou Xing and asked nervously: "How much does it cost? How many man-hours does it take to build it?"

"The cost is less than one billion US dollars, and the construction time is about twenty days!" Zhou Xing smiled and replied.

General Ston became energetic and asked happily: "It's so fast, are you sure?"

Zhou Xing smiled and nodded confidently: "Of course, I will send the design back. Most of the components can be built at the Anyang Manufacturing Center. When the time comes, just send them here for assembly."

After hearing this, everyone looked at General Ston, waiting for his decision.
