Iron-58 is not rare.
The content of this iron isotope in nature is 0.28%, but it is still very difficult to extract it alone.
The first-order alpha iron-58 sent by Annihilation Technology Company weighs about 2 kilograms.
The annihilation force field experimental team used 300 grams for beta material transformation experiments. The first-order beta iron 58 produced was just a small piece of metal. Part of it was sent to the material testing center, and the remaining part was placed in the laboratory. Separated by radiation barrier.
After it was determined that the materials were not radioactive or harmful to the human body, the remaining materials were taken out and sealed in vacuum glass containers.
This is to ensure the purity of the material.
Although the properties of iron are very stable, it will still undergo weak chemical reactions with oxygen, water vapor, etc. when exposed to the air, which will also affect the purity of the material.
Wang Hao checked the materials in the glassware.
It was a piece of silvery metal, and the color looked more like steel than pure iron. It felt obviously heavy in the hand.
"The density is very high."
Wang Hao asked, "Has Professor Wang Hui's test been completed?"
Xiang Qiansheng nodded and said, "Most of it has been completed. We will do oxidation tests and some other chemical reaction tests later."
Wang Hao nodded, "Comprehensive testing is indeed necessary. The properties of first-order beta iron and first-order alpha iron are very different, and may also affect the chemical properties."
"After all the tests are completed, let Annihilation Technology Company produce more alpha iron (58). We will make as much of this material as possible and provide it to Deng Huanshan's team so that they can make several CWF-type superconducting materials. .”
"With this, we can conduct follow-up research."
Wang Hao's words were a bit plain, but what he said was exciting.
This determines the next research plan.
The annihilation force field experimental group, including the Antigravity Properties Research Center, uses basic superconducting materials produced by the Superconducting Materials Research Center.
Wang Hao has participated in many projects of the Superconducting Materials Research Center.
Most of the main materials used today were researched by Wang Hao and his team, and they have discovered a clear pattern during the property testing of superconducting materials.
Isotopes of metal elements and corresponding upgraded elements will not affect the characteristics of superconducting materials. That is, with the same element composition, whether it is made of metallic isotopes or upgraded elements, the material produced will still have superconducting properties.
However, the Annihilation Field properties will be affected.
If the impact of isotopes is not great, switching to upgraded elements will make the intensity of the annihilation field created higher or lower.
In terms of anti-gravity characteristics, upgrading elements does not necessarily bring gains.
This is mainly due to the influence of special phenomena.
The creation of an annihilation force field by first-order α-iron will be limited by the special properties of α-iron, resulting in a lower intensity of the anti-gravity field created. However, at the same time, the special characteristics of first-order metal elements will also allow it to reach the critical temperature. Before, the anti-gravity field was stimulated.
First-order beta iron is theoretically unrestricted.
So they can explore the technology used by first-order beta iron to create strong annihilation force fields by making several discovered superconducting materials.
"The first are CWF-018, 027 and 031, and we will also study 035 and 041 in the future." Wang Hao said, "The easiest to manufacture is 018, and we will be able to get large quantities of materials soon."
"We can start studying it from 018."
Xiang Qiansheng also looked forward to it, "If a material with DC strong annihilation force field properties can be discovered, there will be a lot of room for technological growth."
Wang Hao also nodded expectantly.
The next step is to create the material and then verify the material's DC strong annihilation force field characteristics.
This work is similar to the verification of DC anti-gravity characteristics, except that the verification of DC strong annihilation force field characteristics is more complicated and much more difficult.
They have not done similar experiments before, mainly because of the influence of special phenomena. First-order iron cannot create a strong annihilation force field, so it makes no sense to invest a lot of money in verification.
Now that we have first-order beta iron 58, we can naturally conduct verification experiments.
The two of them said a few words in anticipation.
Xiang Qiansheng talked about practical issues, "This research requires a lot of funds. To verify the characteristics of DC strong annihilation force, the materials required for each experiment, including design, equipment, etc., will be very large."
"We have several materials to verify, and we don't know how much money it will cost."
Wang Hao calculated silently, "Several billions, right?"
He wasn't sure either.
Material manufacturing and characteristic verification consume a large amount of money, and it is difficult to estimate in advance how much it will cost.
Some materials are relatively simple to know.
For example, CWF-018.
This material is one of the products of Superconducting Materials Industrial Company, and it can already be produced on a large scale. They only need to provide first-order beta iron 58 to get the corresponding superconducting material.
Other types of superconducting materials are more troublesome because they require laboratory environment to manufacture.
Wang Hao sighed after thinking, patted Xiang Qiansheng on the shoulder and said, "Everything is worth it. At least we have a clear direction."
"Right."
Xiang Qiansheng thought of the Groom Lake plan.
Although the information they received came from media reports, it is certain that the Groom Lake project has not progressed directly.
The Groom Lake project cost at least tens of billions of dollars, but it didn't even create a wave, and it didn't even create a superimposed force field.
This is going in the wrong direction.
It is simply impossible for them to rely on first-order iron to study superconducting materials and then directly create a strong annihilation field.
Wang Hao continued, "I hope the research will go smoothly, so that we can quickly create a stronger annihilation force field."
"As long as high-pressure hybrid materials can be replaced with metal operating materials, the research and development prospects will become brighter. First, we can use granular material technology to directly increase the strength of the annihilation force field."
"With a stronger annihilation force field, we can produce first-order carbon and first-order silicon in large quantities. These two upgraded materials are very important."
"There are also copper, mercury, tungsten, etc..."
"But what I'm most looking forward to is the first-order hydrogen element and deuterium element. Compared with metal elements, hydrogen element has great scientific research potential and may even be used as a fuel for nuclear fusion."
He and Xiang Qiansheng were discussing together and couldn't help but look forward to it.
…
The next step of research officially begins.
The research started with manufacturing materials. The manufacturing cost of first-order α-iron 58 was very high, and then the annihilation force field experimental team carried out β-type transformation.
Subsequently, it will be provided to the Superconducting Materials Research Center to manufacture corresponding types of superconducting materials.
A lot of money is consumed in this process.
The Annihilation Field Experiment Team applied for 5 billion in funding in advance. When the report was submitted to the science and technology department, Teacher Xu felt a little numb after taking a look at it.
"Doing material research?"
"Special materials that support the annihilation field?"
Teacher Xu thought carefully, "Is it related to nuclear fusion? But if it is nuclear fusion research, that part of the funds should be used, right?"
5 billion in funds is not a small amount.
However, most of the funds for the Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team came from Annihilation Technology Company and Superconducting Materials Industry Company. However, the technology department did not have to worry about it. All he had to do was approve and sign.
Teacher Xu simply signed and agreed.
soon.
Trouble has come to the door again.
Several major domestic materials institutions came together to ask questions about dense materials technology because they could not find Xiang Qiansheng from the annihilation force field experimental group.
There was no reply from the Annihilation Field Experimental Team.
Teacher Xu quickly sent someone to ask. Wang Hao only remembered the research on nuclear fusion materials after hearing the news. He was originally planning to hand over the work to Xiang Qiansheng.
Things are different now.
Wang Hao just found a few researchers and asked them to form a new team specifically responsible for cooperating with the research of several materials institutions.
The leader of the new team is not Xiang Qiansheng.
Teacher Xu sent someone over to communicate again, and the reply he received was, "Professor Xiang has more important work."
"What's more important than the research on materials for nuclear fusion projects?" Teacher Xu was speechless when he heard this, and later he even ran over to have a look.
He came in a hurry.
When we arrived at the annihilation field experimental group, we found that there was no busy doing anything inside, but it looked very leisurely.
Many researchers sit in their offices and brag.
"We are waiting for materials." Wang Hao explained, "I have handed over the research on nuclear fusion materials to Professor Zhao Dongqiang."
"Professor Zhao Dongqiang has rich experience and is very knowledgeable about dense material technology. It is enough for him to use our equipment and lead a team to cooperate with other institutions' research."
"As for Professor Xiang..."
"We have more important research."
Teacher Xu is certainly interested in new research.
Wang Hao hesitated for a long time and explained helplessly, "The new research is related to the strong annihilation force field. We hope to create a stronger field force."
"Our report has stated that we have discovered a non-radioactive first-order iron. To be precise, it is first-order beta iron-58."
"Iron-58 is an isotope of iron..."
"Beta iron is an element of the future. It has a characteristic that it will not be affected by special phenomena, so it can support manufacturing..."
"Wow wow wow..."
Wang Hao explained one issue in a row.
Teacher Xu was stunned when he heard that, and then he simply interrupted and said, "Okay, okay, I understand. Anyway, we are studying strong annihilation field technology, right?"
"It can be understood this way." Wang Hao thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then you can continue your research." Teacher Xu rubbed his forehead and said, "But you should also pay attention to the research of nuclear fusion materials, your dense material technology, and several new elements... Anyway, other institutions attach great importance to it. "
"Don't worry, Professor Zhao Dongqiang will cooperate. All the equipment in our experimental base can be used."
Teacher Xu got the answer and simply left the experimental base.
Wang Hao asked Zhao Dongqiang to be responsible for connecting with the materials organization, with the purpose of liberating Xiang Qiansheng. The new research was so important that the core members of the team must be involved.
The Annihilation Field Experiment Team is Xiang Qiansheng.
Over there at the Antigravity Behavior Research Center are He Yi and Sheng Hailiang.
Sheng Hailiang has been responsible for leading the team to test the antigravity properties of superconducting materials, and now he is going one step further to test the DC strong annihilation force properties. His work experience can still be of great help.
Two weeks later.
The Annihilation Force Field Experiment Team finally waited for the first material - CWF-018, which is based on first-order beta iron 58.
CWF-018, is a publicly available superconducting material.
This metallic superconducting material is one of the flagship products of Superconducting Materials Industry Company. It has a very important characteristic, which is to create an anti-gravity field at room temperature.
Although the field strength is only 2.65%, stimulating the anti-gravity field at room temperature is in itself incredible.
After the experimental team received the materials, each group immediately became busy.
They held a meeting to discuss the experimental work.
There was no previous experience in verifying the characteristics of DC strong annihilation force. Everything could be said to be starting from scratch. The only 'reference' was the layout of high-voltage mixed materials.
Wang Hao also started with this, allowing everyone to put forward their own opinions to design the underlying material layout.
The discussions lasted three days.
Afterwards, Wang Hao determined the material layout plan, and then asked the cooperative factory to process the materials. After transporting them back to the experimental base, they manually corrected and laid out the materials.
etc.
It was not until a week later that the equipment was set up for the experiment. After a series of tests, the first measurement experiment was ready to begin.
An experiment took more than 20 days to prepare, which makes people feel exhausted.
Everyone felt that the experiment was not easy, and even became confused about the prospects of the research. They rarely felt this way, and now they feel that the experiment is too complicated.
"An experiment requires more than 20 days to prepare, and this is just a material."
"There will definitely be other experiments to be carried out in the future, each time taking at least half a month. I have participated in anti-gravity measurements, basically once every three days, and many experiments are required for one material."
"How long will that take?"
"It takes several months or half a year to make one kind of material..."
"It's been too long."
Qian Zhijun said with emotion, suddenly feeling something was wrong.
Others felt it too.
Normally, it is normal for a research to last several years. The measurement of multiple materials is a super large project, and the pre-applied funds have reached 5 billion.
Is it abnormal for a 5 billion project to take several years?
Now they all feel awkward.
"It's still Academician Wang!"
"When I do research with Academician Wang, I am used to getting results quickly. When I think about the research taking several years, it feels very long..."
"I feel the same way."
"But it takes a few years, which is actually normal..."
"..."
A group of researchers discuss.
They did not have high hopes for the first experiment, mainly because they had no previous experience and the only reference was high-pressure mixed material equipment.
However, high-voltage hybrid materials and metallic superconducting materials are completely different things.
This reference can even be ignored.
Therefore, it is difficult for the first experiment to produce any results. Most people also conduct the experiment without any hope. They all feel that the first experiment can only accumulate experience at most, and may not even accumulate experience.
soon.
The experiment officially began.
Because the equipment has been set up and the testing has been completed, the experiment is to test after powering on to see if a superimposed force field is created in the center.
This is what most people think.
After the experiment officially started, Wang Hao just shouted from a distance, "Let's start", and then the power was turned on.
A few seconds later.
All participants in the experiment were shocked.
Along with the roar of some equipment and the noise of high-intensity current, an eye-catching area appeared in the empty space above the equipment.
Everyone knows what it is.
"Strong annihilation field!"
Xiang Qiansheng shouted subconsciously, then took a deep breath and reminded, "Attention, normal experiment, prepare for testing!"
The entire experimental group immediately jumped into action.
Everyone was very excited. They had no idea that a strong annihilation force field could be created in the first experiment.
They have extensive experience with this.
Just taking a look at the situation in the area, I found that it was not completely gray, but that nothing could be seen, and I knew that its intensity must exceed '4 times'.
The first experiment, creating an annihilation force field with a power exceeding 4 times.
They felt incredible just thinking about it, and then someone realized it and couldn't help but say during the work, "I told you a long time ago that if you follow Academician Wang to do research, you will definitely get results quickly!"
"I told you a long time ago, it will be soon. What months and years did you just say? You look down on Academician Wang!"
"It takes more than twenty days to prepare for the experiment, which seems a bit long, but we only need a few experiments!"
"I told you a long time ago..."
"..."
