"The shaping fluorocarbon polymer material you developed has exceeded the domestic level in terms of molecular structure and characteristic data. I am afraid that the strength will be much higher than the armor paint currently used in the military industry. I now regret not doing it earlier. You have to come to the materials laboratory to participate in the research."
On September 20, 2018, Jingzhou City, on the way to the Army Military Region.
In the car, Sun Zhenghong, an academician of the Academy of Materials Engineering, had a face filled with regret, and looked at Xu Yun as if he were admiring a national treasure.
He learned the news from Liu Jingying and checked the analysis data of the material samples developed by Xu Yun.
Immediately, I had a hunch that a top-notch military coating material was likely to appear.
In order to obtain specific test data as soon as possible, he immediately used his connections to greet the nearby military.
Ask them to help with material testing.
It is thought that this new type of material may greatly increase the strength of military equipment.
The whole person couldn't hold back his excitement.
I didn't sleep well last night, and I still have dark circles under my eyes.
Xu Yun sat next to him and felt very surprised when he thought about what happened in the past two days.
After careful investigation, he learned that Sun Zhenghong was mainly responsible for the research of materials for aerospace equipment. The manned spacecraft and satellites launched by the space agency today all use aluminum-lithium alloy materials developed by Sun Zhenghong's team.
He has made outstanding contributions to the development of the aerospace industry and can be said to be a top leader in the field.
After he found Sun Zhenghong and explained the situation, the other party directly solved the problem of the test location.
In order to successfully complete today's test, he conducted another experiment to synthesize some material samples.
At the same time, this left him with only one experiment left for his advanced mission. Thinking that he would soon be able to obtain that solid-state battery technology, he couldn't help but be secretly excited and couldn't wait to officially start the production of modular robots.
"Without previous study, even if you directly enter the materials research topic, it may be difficult to make progress."
"But I would also like to thank Academician Sun for helping me, otherwise I would not be able to obtain comprehensive and detailed test data."
Xu Yun came back to his senses and took Sun Zhenghong's words and spoke with a smile, making the atmosphere in the car more and more lively.
"What you said is correct." Sun Zhenghong nodded and agreed with Xu Yun's answer: "As for helping, I don't dare to take credit. Even if you don't say hello to me, you can still come to test in the name of the school."
What Sun Zhenghong said is indeed true.
Xu Yun also understood that with his current status and influence, it was indeed a trivial matter to ask the military to help test materials.
But going through the intermediate procedures will definitely take more time than it does now.
So he was quite grateful to Sun Zhenghong for his help.
After all, everyone is good at different fields. When it comes to military industry, it is not easy to find professors from the mathematics department.
As the vehicle drove rapidly, it was about to enter the army. At this time, Sun Zheng added another sentence.
"Xiao Xu."
"As for the coating material you developed, if the test data is really excellent, I am afraid that it will be controlled and banned from commercial use in the short term."
"Prevent this material from entering the market and overseas."
"Of course the patent belongs to you, and you will be compensated accordingly."
Xu Yun listened to all Sun Zhenghong's words, because he had long known that the military industry was different from ordinary materials, and he would definitely not choose to rush into the market in the short term.
Only when a complete production line process is established can it gradually enter the market, such as being used as a coating for automobiles.
He studied this material mainly to make modular robots and did not care about other situations.
What's more, he has no concept of money now, and all he pursues is the research process.
"I understand Academician Sun."
After answering Sun Zhenghong with a calm expression, the vehicle finally stopped at the guard post for inspection.
…
"It's been a while since I've seen you, Old Sun. Tell me what powerful materials you have developed this time, and you actually have to prepare rocket launcher shells for attack testing."
Xu Yun and the others entered the interior and just got out of the car when they saw an energetic middle-aged man walking over.
Steady pace and alert eyes.
Judging by his attire and epaulettes, he must be the leader here.
Sun Zhenghong seemed to be very familiar with the other party. After hearing this, he immediately took a few steps forward and reached out to shake hands with the other party.
"Commander Yu, I'm going to trouble you again this time."
"Today we mainly test the strength and impact resistance of a plastic fluorocarbon polymer coating material."
"Coating material?"
When the person called Commander Yu heard that it was a coating material, his eyes suddenly brightened.
Clearly aware of the purpose of this material.
With a smile on his face, he immediately responded: "Don't worry, we promise to fully cooperate with you."
After a brief chat, Sun Zhenghong turned his attention to Xu Yun behind him and took the initiative to introduce him.
"Xiao Xu, let me introduce you. This is Commander Yu Hongda."
"Good command Yu."
Xu Yun stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
Amid Yu Hongda's doubts, Sun Zhenghong continued: "Xiao Xu is the most talented student at our Jingzhou University. He has already proved two world mathematics problems at a young age and became the youngest Fields Medal winner. The coating material tested this time was also developed by him." When he finished speaking, he seemed to be a little unfinished, unable to tell all of Xu Yun's achievements.
"It seems really unusual for you, Sun Zhenghong, to praise you so much." Yu Hongda looked at Xu Yun seriously and replied with a smile.
Other than that, there wasn't much of a reaction.
Perhaps it is because of their different identities and not being very clear about recent events in the mathematics world.
However, Xu Yun could see that the other party's face was obviously less happy after learning that he developed the material.
Obviously he doesn't think much of him.
After all, many people have a fixed mindset, and it is normal to look down on age issues.
As an academician, Sun Zhenghong successfully developed aluminum-lithium alloy, which helped the rapid development of the aerospace industry.
Given the existence of these prerequisites, the new materials developed will raise everyone's expectations even if they are not tested.
On the contrary, his current achievements are basically theoretical in mathematics, and as a doctoral student, he naturally has low expectations for the materials he develops.
Of course he didn't pay attention to this little thing. Anyway, he would know after testing the performance of the material.
Just like this, under Yu Hongda's arrangement, the test site was chosen at the shooting range and two soldiers were sent to cooperate.
Since Sun Zhenghong was there, Yu Hongda didn't leave without any excuse and chose to accompany him throughout the whole process.
Xu Yun quickly took out the two steel plates from the car and fixed them in place with the help of the two soldiers.
Under the sunlight, one can clearly see a special light blue coating on one of the steel plates, which is the shaping fluorocarbon polymer coating that is the protagonist of this test.
In order to more intuitively judge the effect of materials, Xu Yun conducted a control test.
I specially found two steel plates.
Unfortunately, due to the limited conditions of the college laboratory, the material samples synthesized are very limited.
So that the steel plate area is not large.
"Dr. Xu."
"Can we start shooting now?"
At the shooting range, Xu Yun heard the inquiry from the soldier next to him and immediately nodded to confirm.
"You can start."
The first round of testing used the equipped rifle. Under the high-precision shooting skills of the soldiers, all the bullets hit the steel plate.
In about half a minute, when both steel plates finished shooting, Xu Yun immediately ran to the position of the steel plates to check the situation.
At this time, Sun Zhenghong, who was paying attention, suggested: "What do you think, Lao Yu, do you want to go over and have a look together?"
In fact, in Yu Hongda's view, the coating material developed by Xu Yun as a student only has limited protective effect, and is estimated to be incomparable to the armor paint used on existing armored vehicles.
So from the bottom of his heart he was not very interested.
But since Sun Zhenghong made the invitation in person, it was obviously inappropriate to refuse directly.
His thoughts stopped here and he immediately replied cheerfully: "Then let's go over and have a look together."
Xu Yun was the first to reach the ordinary steel plate without plastic fluorocarbon polymer coating material. He could clearly see that the warhead had sunk deeply into it. Although it did not completely penetrate, it was firmly stuck.
If used on armored vehicles or tanks, it will obviously not have a protective effect.
After recording the situation of the control group, Xu Yun stood up and walked towards another steel plate with a light blue surface.
Squatting down and taking a closer look, I saw that there was no substantial damage to the surface except for minor scratches from the impact of the warhead.
It can be seen that the powerful protective effect of the shaped fluorocarbon polymer coating is obvious.
Just seeing the results of this round of testing, Xu Yun had already concluded that his research was very successful.
Even the two soldiers next to him couldn't help but express surprise and sigh when they saw this scene.
"Dear me, the gap is too obvious."
"Can this thin layer of coating stop bullets?"
They undoubtedly believed in their marksmanship, and there was absolutely no chance of a missed shot.
Not to mention firing so many shots in succession.
Just as the two reached out to carefully touch the slight marks on the steel plate, Yu Hongda and Sun Zhenghong also walked over.
Hearing the sound, he quickened his pace and looked closer.
As the almost unchanged steel plate came into view, Yu Hongda's eyes suddenly widened.
I didn't expect the test results to be so amazing.
"This coating material is so powerful. Continuous firing of rifles did not leave any obvious marks on it. The protective effect has exceeded the armor paint used in current military equipment."
"I want to report it to the headquarters immediately and use this material as soon as possible."
Excited, Yu Hongda was about to go back to the office, but as soon as he stood up, he was temporarily stopped by Sun Zhenghong.
"Don't worry yet, Lao Yu, the test is not over yet. I have told you that Xiao Xu is the best student at Peking University."
Sun Zhenghong had read the relevant property data of the material in advance and was not surprised by the current test results, so he acted relatively calmly.
After letting Yu Hongda stabilize, he turned to Xu Yun and said, "You can continue testing. I also want to see how much protection the coating material you developed can have."
