Chapter 1343 The More You Know, The Less Imagination Becomes

Professor Stanley was clearly not the only one who was shocked.

When Director Li returned to Beijing with the sample, helped Lu Zhou go through the fast track to register the patent ownership, and then asked someone to send it to the Hangke Group.

Almost the next morning after the sample was sent to the Hangke Group, Academician Yuan Huanmin rushed to the Bureau of Science and Industry in a hurry and found Director Li's office non-stop.

"That SF-1 Super Fiber! Which unit made it?! ”

Looking at Academician Yuan standing at the door in amazement, Director Li's face was full of surprise that was not inferior to him.

If he's not mistaken.

That bag of samples should have been sent to the old academician only yesterday afternoon......

"Ahem, you drink saliva first to calm down," coughing lightly, Director Li looked at the secretary who was standing in the office, also surprised, and said, "Xiao Li, go and 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 didn't live long before he took two cups of tea and put them on the coffee table in the office.

Standing up from the desk, Director Li pulled Academician Yuan to sit down on the sofa in front of the coffee table and explained.

"Didn't you ask Academician Lu some time ago if he could get this thing out? I asked casually when I went to Jinling this time, and then he gave me this thing. ”

It's okay to hear the front part, but when I heard the back part, Academician Yuan Huanmin, who was drinking tea, almost didn't squirt out the water he had just drunk in a sip.

"And he gave it to you?" Forcibly swallowing a sip of tea, Academician Yuan's old face turned red, and his excited tone was full of bewilderment and disbelief, "What is it?" ”

Looking at his bewildered expression, Director Li could probably understand his mood, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I know you're surprised, in fact I'm more surprised than you. You can imagine the look on my face in the less than five minutes from the time I asked him if he was sure to get it out to the time he threw it in front of me...... It's probably even more exaggerated than you are now. ”

Looking at Director Li sitting across from him in a daze, Academician Yuan first nodded, and then shook his head.

If this was really the case, he could indeed imagine the surprise in Director Li's heart at that time, but what he couldn't imagine was how Lu Zhou managed to get this thing out in five minutes?!

"But how—"

"I know what you're asking, but I don't know either, I've just heard that it's a computational materials science method to build a model, and then the lab quickly verifies something...... Let's not worry about that, but tell me first, is this thing any good? ”

"Just works?" Facing that eager look, Academician Yuan shook his head with a smile, sighed softly and said, "Have you ever seen a nylon rope?" ”

"Of course I've seen this, what's wrong?"

"Replace the polyamide fiber that is kneaded 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?!"

Frightened by this number, Director Li's expression couldn't help but move slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, is that exaggerated?"

Looking at the moving 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 1.4 GPa, and the unit of Young's modulus of this SF-1 super fiber has changed from GPa to TPa, even considering the deviation that may be caused by a series of factors such as the process, this statement is not an exaggeration at all.

"It's no exaggeration to say that if you use this thing to make fabric or clothes, it's body armor without ceramic linings. Use this thing to make a rope, that is, the tensile strength of the aircraft carrier blocking cable. We haven't tested other physical properties yet, but in terms of tensile strength, I can't imagine a stronger material than it! ”

"Is it so awesome......"

"It's not just so awesome," Academician Yuan sighed and said, "It's only our imagination that limits its use, maybe it's ......."

"Can't tell?"

After pondering in his imagination for a while, it seemed that he felt that his idea was too exaggerated, and Academician Yuan quickly shook his head and denied his idea.

"No, that...... It's still too exaggerated. ”

Tickled by the Guan Zi sold by this guy, Director Li suddenly became anxious and asked.

"What is so exaggerated, you say?"

Halfway through talking, is this what people do?

It seems that he also feels that his approach is a little immoral, Academician Yuan Huanmin hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"I'm trying to say that maybe even a space elevator ......"

"It's also possible!"

……

As the saying goes, the more you know, the less imagination you have.

Scholars like Dyson are in the minority, and most people will gradually lose their seemingly unrealistic illusions about science as their knowledge base increases and their understanding of science increases.

Hearing the word "space elevator" from Yuan Huanmin, an old academician who has studied in the aerospace field for decades, can be said to be a rather strange thing for Director Li.

However, compared to the space station at the Lagrange point and the research station on Mars, this thing is still a bit beyond his imagination.

No matter how surprised he was at this moment.

Just when Academician Yuan found his office, the entire materials science community was shaken by a paper!

Mizuki Forum.

"Have you read that paper? It's the one that Lu Shen recently uploaded to Arxiv! ”

"I don't pay attention to it, we are engaged in materials engineering, and the direction of research is not mathematics and physics, what are you paying attention to his thesis."

"He's sending papers in the direction of materials!"

"Damn?! Really? How long has it been since he has studied the material? Didn't he go to study physics later? ”

"Some time ago he resigned as chairman of the IMCRC...... Don't talk about that, you can go and take a look, when our professor just saw that paper, his jaw couldn't close in surprise! ”

The title of the paper is short, so short that it can even be read out in two seconds.

However, the amount of information in this is not ordinarily large!

Since the birth of computational materials science, the theoretical calculation of complex systems has faced two major challenges. One is how to translate the accurate theoretical processing at the micro level into direct descriptions of mesoscopic and macroscopic phenomena, and the other is how to further improve the accuracy of the density functional method that is the basis of existing large-scale computations.

However, the limitations of implicit functional density in describing van der Waals forces, metal bonds, and so on have always been a major headache for researchers in the field of computational materials science.

But now this problem has been solved so easily by a paper hanging on Arxiv?

Everyone was shocked by this unexpected news.

And it's not just that!

What's 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 the research of materials science, many people can no longer remember.

No one expected that his resignation from the IMCRC Board of Directors would be a paving for his return to the field of materials science.

What's even more unexpected is that as soon as he came back, he did such an earth-shattering thing......

It's terrifying!
