It is difficult to describe how ugly the expression on Mr. Krupp's face was now. It was like a child being robbed of his most cherished toys and candies. Or just like the rich parents who depended on the rich parents for their survival!
Every word Xiao Lesuo said pierced his heart like a knife, because from the tank steel technology to the final breath ring, everything the Fuhrer Suo said was true.
In fact, scientific research is very interesting. Unless it is an epoch-making technological breakthrough, in fact, the difficulties in ordinary scientific and technological research are like layers of window paper. On the surface, they look hazy and cloudy, but in fact, as long as they are broken through After learning a little bit, the rest suddenly became clear.
What is epoch-making technological progress? For example, scientists in the 18th century would never understand how laptops and smartphones work in the 21st century.
This is called an epoch-making technological gap, or a dimensional gap.
Creatures in the two-dimensional world can never understand the changes in the three-dimensional world, and creatures in the three-dimensional world can never understand the wonders of the four-dimensional world!
Every scientist hopes that he can become an epoch-making master like Newton and Einstein!
However, there will always be a small group of people who can make epoch-making scientific and technological breakthroughs. The vast majority of scientists in human history are actually just trying to poke holes in the same dimension of science and technology.
Take cannon-making technology for example. The earliest human beings made were front-mounted bronze cannons that fired solid iron balls and stone balls.
Then slowly, people began to think and study, is it a gun that can be launched and exploded?
The solid iron ball has evolved into an explosive weapon. This is the window-piercing paper in the same dimensional technology.
When artillery solves the problem of gunfire, people will study why cheaper steel cannot be used to make gun barrels? All are made of bronze, and the cost is too high!
As a result, talented scientists used steel pipe jacketing technology to create composite material gun barrels.
Such cannons are now widely used in European and American artillery production. The thick cannon wall adopts a double-layer fastening process, with the inner layer made of bronze and the outer layer made of steel.
This can take advantage of the elasticity and ductility of bronze, as well as the sturdiness and low cost of steel.
Until later, Krupp's steel filling technology appeared, and the double-layered artillery barrels it produced could completely abandon the bronze material. The inner and outer rings were cast in steel, which made the artillery larger in size and stronger.
Next came the technological innovation of breech-loaded artillery to replace front-loaded artillery. This series was a window-piercing type of scientific research.
All Xiao Le can do is to pierce this layer of window paper! If he were asked to solve that kind of cross-dimensional technological breakthrough, he would definitely not be able to do it.
For example, if you ask him to build an integrated circuit or an inter chip or something right now, it will be an impossible task to kill him.
But just with the time traveler's unique ability to poke at the window paper, Krupp was stunned!
This is the progress of human science and technology, progressing upward step by step. Countless scientific researchers worked hard and racked their brains to break through the window paper layer by layer.
Until the overall technology tree of human civilization is climbed to the singularity point where quantitative changes can occur!
Then with a bang, the big bang of technology came, and higher-dimensional technology appeared in human life. Only then did humans have several revolutionary industrial revolutions.
Although Xiao Le is simple, Krupp knows very well that solving these simple problems consumes countless manpower, material and financial resources. Nations with weak national power are not even qualified to talk about these topics.
What a surprise today! That backward country in the east was actually able to come up with the same solution as itself. Is there always a spy in Krupp?
Xiao Le saw the doubt in his eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't think like that, I can swear to God that I have not invested any commercial espionage in your company. What I just mentioned is actually from my Chinese university." Theoretical research results.”
"You can understand what I mean! What I have is a theoretical research result, not a successful object in the laboratory. But looking at your shocked expression now, I can only say that the direction of our theoretical research is absolutely correct. !”
"Sir, you are from a technical background. I think you should be very clear about this. Scientific research is sometimes not complicated. The most complicated thing is to find the right direction of scientific research!"
There is a Chinese idiom that goes in the wrong direction. If the direction is wrong, no matter how much manpower, material and financial resources you invest, the final result will definitely be failure.
But if we find the right direction, then the next thing will be much simpler. Modern natural science is actually experimental science. As long as the direction is right, I will be willing to invest huge sums of money to conduct repeated experiments and comparisons over and over again.
Just like your can steel technology, of course I don't know how many trace elements are added to it, nor do I know what the ratio is?
But it doesn't matter, after all, I already know the right direction, so all that's left is to conduct comparison experiments again and again.
There are only so many kinds of these metal elements known to mankind. If we arrange and combine experiments with each other, learn from experience and summarize the data from each failure, we will eventually be able to find the correct answer, and even the answer we find will be better than yours. .
what? Because I am willing to pay so much for experiments, I am willing to spend so much money, and I am backed by the financial resources of the entire Chinese nation, which is much stronger than the financial resources of your company, Krupp.
The same is true for the aura ring. Although I don't know the shape of your aura ring or the material used, I already know the feasibility of this solution through your eyes. Since this direction is correct, then I You can invest huge sums of money to experiment.
If my guess is correct, the material of the closed air ring you use is an elastic metal, a metal with relatively large plasticity.
And how many malleable metals are there around us? In fact, there are not many choices. Gold and silver are softer and more malleable, but they are too expensive and no one is willing to use them. The only thing left is copper.
Of course, I know that you will definitely add some other trace elements to the copper material to improve various indicators of the closed air loop. You will definitely not tell me what kind of elements to add. It doesn’t matter. Let’s continue the experiment. I As I said before, I am willing to invest huge sums of money to conduct repeated experiments over and over again.
After we find the most suitable ratio, how long can your technical advantage be maintained?
Have you figured it out now? Your previous choice was to force us Chinese to do our own research, spend a year or two to overcome this series of problems, and then set up our own company to compete with you globally.
This is the first option, and the second option is simple. Put down your arrogance and cooperate with us Chinese, all-round cooperation.
By that time, you will not only lose a strong competitor but gain an additional partner, you will also gain countless scientific research bases.
All Chinese university laboratories will be open to you. Our science and technology can be shared with each other. This is the result of 1+1 being greater than two. Please think deeply!
