Chapter 550 Material Advantages

73 years,

Humanity has entered the 14th year of the intelligent era.

If it were any other life in the past, Mo Dao would have been very old by this time.

In this life, relying on human hibernation technology, there is still some time before the end of the first life, but the body's life span has also reached fifty years.

This year,

The total number of researchers on the surface of the Qiushi Research Institute alone has swelled to nearly 400,000.

After fourteen years, human society has formed a new division of labor in the intelligent era.

Newly grown people naturally do not have the confusion of people who have just entered the intelligent era.

There is a big difference in cognition from that of people in the previous era.

In an era when productivity has been greatly liberated, when considering future choices, they naturally exclude the factor of whether they can maintain survival.

The amount of wealth they can obtain has a much smaller impact on their choices.

It’s not that hierarchy between people no longer exists in this era;

But to a large extent, they are not divided by wealth - after all, even if they do nothing, they can actually live well just relying on the 'rice insect clause'.

The power of wealth to control people's behavior has naturally declined a lot.

In other words, people in this era actually already have the most basic ‘financial freedom’ from birth.

And these newly grown people have basically devoted themselves to creation at the ideological and humanistic level and research in the scientific field.

Therefore, in this era, some problems in various fields of scientific research have been subdivided countless times to an exaggerated level.

There are quite a few people of this era who may devote their entire lives to issues in a single subdivision that may have practical significance or may only have some academic value.

To a certain extent, this is also a manifestation of the advantages of the intelligent era. The exaggeratedly huge productivity is enough to support human society to invest in a large number of research that may not see any actual value in a short period of time in a single situation, thereby realizing the realization of the entire scientific research system. , an exaggerated propulsion and speed of knowledge accumulation.

To be more specific, in the past there might have been 10,000 researchers thinking about a hot issue at the same time, but now that number might have increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.

This hundred times more people have divided this problem into countless more subdivided areas, and then studied it for a lifetime.

In this era, there are almost no research directions that are truly unpopular.

And with such a huge base of scientific researchers,

It is inevitable that some geniuses will be born - those who can join the Qiusuo Research Institute, even become an assistant researcher, are geniuses in the ordinary sense.

The expanding number of researchers at the Research Institute is filled by geniuses in various research fields of this era.

And this year,

Although the new room-temperature materials are still completed under the theoretical guidance of Mo Dao, the researchers at the Qiusuo Research Institute are not completely useless.

Over the years, Mo Dao has divided a range in materials research and handed it over to Sui Gu to perform experiments.

The plan for the material synthesis experiment basically gave a general direction, and the details were also improved by researchers in related fields and Sui Gulai.

In addition, researchers in the field of materials research within the Qiusuo Research Institute have also made a greater contribution, which is ‘trial and error’.

Although it sounds unpleasant,

But this work did play a huge role and provided a large amount of valuable data for theoretical research in the field of Modao materials.

"We may not be as talented as Mo Yuan, so let's try our best to eliminate some wrong directions for Mo Yuan."

This is a popular saying among the research team in the field of materials within Qiusuo Research Institute at this time.

The birth of this new material,

It is a masterpiece of Mo Dao's research on materials theory, and it is also the product of a super project in the field of materials of Qiusuo Research Institute.

A huge research team with Mo Dao as the core spent a long time,

I just got this material that was almost customized to solve some problems during the voyage.

…

This new room temperature superconducting material was named room temperature-73 according to the time of its birth.

However, within the Qiusuo Research Institute, there is still a tendency to call it the fourth material.

Even in fact, in these years, in addition to the initial third material, other room temperature superconducting materials have also been born.

then,

The official media within Hualian also reported the birth of the fourth material in the most solemn way.

Although the report did not mention much about the significance of the birth of the fourth material,

But when they saw Chief Master Mo's name mentioned in the report, people were still very excited.

"The result completed under the leadership of Chief Master Mo is called the fourth material. It already feels very unfair. I don't know where it will be used."

"Commander Mo is awesome!"

outside world,

Not many people know the role of the fourth material, but it is still clear within the Qiusuo Research Institute.

The day after the fourth material announced that it had been synthesized in the laboratory,

Within the Qiusu Research Institute, dozens of core researchers from the research team on the long-range voyage power system, that is, the new electric propulsion engine, were summoned.

The fourth material, which has a higher critical temperature and stronger performance, has strong applicability in various fields.

In the development of the next generation of controllable nuclear fusion reactors, it can also provide more space for reactor design.

But in the end, it was chosen to be applied to the theoretical design of the new electric propulsion engine first.

The advantages brought by the superior fourth material can also play a role in the new electric propulsion engine.

Higher strength, higher electromagnetic confinement performance, higher strength... It is no exaggeration to say that this is customized to solve the design problems of new electric propulsion engines in long-distance navigation.

At this core researcher meeting,

a group of core researchers held the detailed data report of the fourth material, and their excitement and excitement were hard to suppress.

"In the design of the new electric propulsion engine, the material problem has been basically solved, or, as far as I know, based on the current science and technology,"

"The fourth material currently achieved is the limit of what can be achieved in a short period of time. We may be able to find other materials with similar performance to the fourth material in the future, but the possibility of finding materials that are better than the fourth material in a short period of time is already very low."

"In other words, regardless of whether it is feasible or not, the only material we can use in the design of the new electric propulsion engine is the fourth material."

Mo Dao's words to the core researchers seemed to be a bit cold,

but for the core researchers, it was still exciting,

Perhaps it is difficult and difficult to complete the design of the new electric propulsion engine with the current fourth material,

but compared with the past, the birth of the fourth material at least provides a theoretical possibility of designing a new electric propulsion engine, which is enough.

"... Next, what we need to do is to complete the theoretical design of the new electric propulsion system based on the fourth material."

"We need to build an electric propulsion system configuration that can complete 8% of the speed of light in a short period of time, at least in theory, and at the same time ensure that the system consumes much less fluid than before."

Mo Dao said another sentence.

A group of core researchers nodded in succession, and most of them were still a little excited.

At this moment, under the leadership and participation of Chief Engineer Mo, a group of core researchers still have some confidence in the research of this new electric propulsion engine configuration.

The research work in the field of materials has been completed, and the research relay race of this super project should also be handed over to them.
