Chapter 1462 Be Content, Kid

Computational Materials Laboratory at Jinling University.

Looking at the black cylinder that gradually took shape under the guidance of the blue light in the translucent cube, Lu Zhou said in a rather emotional tone.

"When I was at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, Dr. Hou and Deputy Director Yang and I were discussing how to synthesize SG-1 superconducting materials stably, and Deputy Director Yang was smoking in the corridor all afternoon... ...and guess how we solved it in the end?"

At this moment, the half-person-high device in front of him is the core facility of the Institute of Computational Materials—the molecular-level 3D printer.

Different from the popular home 3D printers on the market, the awesomeness of this thing is that it can independently set the spatial order of atomic stacking within a certain range of precision, and even adjust the energy of chemical bonds.

This means that no matter whether molecules exist in nature or not, as long as they can exist logically, they can be "printed" in batches through this thing.

How awesome this device is Lu Zhou can't think of a suitable word to describe it, just like few people can accurately describe how awesome his hyperspace theory is.

But there is no doubt that if this thing is brought to the 21st century, material scientists, biologists, and medical scientists all over the world will go crazy with excitement...

Standing next to Lu Zhou, the young doctoral student who demonstrated the molecular 3D printer for him asked curiously.

"How did you solve it?"

"Vapor phase deposition method," Lu Zhou smiled, and continued, "I don't know if it is still popular to do so, but the only method we could think of at that time was to bake layer by layer graphite Alkene hexa-grids, stacked at an angle of 1.1°, form Mott insulators between each layer of cross-sections, and then find the 'half-filled' structure we dream of."

The young doctoral student sweated.

"This is too...too that."

He originally wanted to say trouble, but he always felt a little impolite.

Seeing the expression on the young man's face, Lu Zhou smiled and continued.

"...The technical route of the vapor deposition method has been locked, and the road behind is a little smoother. We tried to improve the method of laboratory preparation, and cooperated with the engineers of Julius Baer Group to explore the method of industrial mass production. However, even so, the cost is only an 'acceptable' level compared to a strategic industrial facility like a controlled fusion core."

"In the past, an idea in scientific research required rigorous demonstration and tedious design experiments before being able to test the idea. However, the cost of verifying an idea now is only 1 hour and 10,000 The price of credits."

"The technology of this era is really beyond my imagination."

Hearing the praise from the patriarch of computational materials science, the doctoral student scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you said... There are too many scientific researchers in Pan-Asian cooperation, and our funds are very limited. In fact, there are not many opportunities to try. And most of the novel materials, just before the molecular printing technology When it came out, it was almost excavated, and now if you want to make new results, you still have to go through rigorous calculation and design.”

Lu Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"What a happy complaint."

"Be content, kid."

Hearing the "child", the doctoral student's expression was a little subtle.

Although this big guy came from a hundred years ago, he doesn't look much older than himself.

Regardless of what this young man in the 22nd century thought, Lu Zhou glanced at the translucent cube in front of him and said.

"I already understand the basic situation. I have some ideas here that I want to verify. You should go out first."

"Do you know how to use the equipment here?"

Lu Zhou said with a faint smile.

"You look down on me too much. Before I entered the laboratory, I did some homework beforehand."

"You're right, how dare I underestimate you..." The doctoral student rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "I'm just worried about you, I can't operate these new equipment. But if you insist, I won't stay by your side .”

With that said, he walked towards the door.

But at this moment, Lu Zhou stopped him from behind.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing Academician Lu's voice calling him, the doctoral student stopped in his tracks and sent him an inquiry.

"What's matter?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"If it's convenient, can you pour me a cup of coffee? Instant ones are fine."

...

To Lu Zhou's surprise, there is no such thing as instant coffee here. Either a coffee machine, or the kind of canned, bottled, or bagged coffee drinks sold in convenience stores.

People in this era don't seem to like boiling water very much. Although beverages brewed with dry powder will not withdraw from the stage of history, they have become a rare thing, and few people prepare them at home or in the office.

After taking a sip of black coffee that was bitter enough to make people frown, Lu Zhou put the cup on the table, then took out a memory card the size of a pen cap, and gently placed it on the holographic computer mainframe in the laboratory.

As the azure light beams lit up, Xiao Ai's holographic image quickly appeared in front of him.

"The laboratory has been taken over successfully! Now it belongs to Xiaoai! φ(≧ω≦*)"

Looking at the little guy jumping up and down restlessly in the holographic beam, Lu Zhou ordered.

"Don't make trouble, we just borrow the equipment here, and we will return it after we use it up."

Xiao Ai: "Understood! What does the master need Xiao Ai to do? ()"

Lu Zhou did not answer immediately, but took out an orange-yellow metal ball about the size of a fist from his arms, and placed it gently on the table next to him.

kill core.

That is, the "Private-1" intelligent man guards the original memory!

Although his intuition told him that this thing was dangerous, he still wanted to try to research it.

After all, this is the technology from the Jialan Empire—the super civilization that once completed the spectacle of the ring world...

"I have something here that needs to be analyzed."

...

The entrance of the Computational Materials Science Laboratory.

The doctoral student who just came out of the laboratory was hesitating whether to go to the library to pass the time, when he saw Principal Cai and Dean Zhou of the School of Materials coming in with a group of people.

His face changed instantly, thinking of Dean Zhou's instructions to him earlier, the doctoral student turned around and wanted to leave, but Dean Zhou still saw him sharply.

Calling his name from a distance, Dean Zhou walked up quickly, stared at him and asked anxiously.

"Why did you come out alone? Where is Academician Lu?"

"...Lu, Academician Lu is still inside," the doctoral student said hastily, "He asked me to come out."

Dean Zhou stomped his feet anxiously, stared at him and said.

"Didn't I tell you to follow him? How could you put him in there alone!"

He wasn't worried that Academician Lu would break his precious instruments... Well, he was actually a little worried. But what he was most worried about was that Academician Lu had hurt himself.

Although 3D molecular printers are not dangerous, some unstable products and wrong operations may lead to a series of serious consequences including explosions.

Although similar things did not happen at Jinling University, it did happen at the university next door.

An intern imported the wrong model into the 3D molecular printer in the wrong way, creating a group of extremely unstable chain-like CHO compounds. This compound exists in the natural environment for less than 1 millisecond, and it quickly decomposes into CH4, CO and oxygen, as well as a lot of heat.

The final result is said to be that the intern not only blew himself up, but black smoke billowed from the entire laboratory building.

Because of this incident, the university next door didn't publish a paper on computing materials that could be sold throughout last year, and the entire college was dragged into a safety education class.

For a frozen man from the 21st century, no matter how much homework he has done before, his experience in operating experimental equipment of this era is infinitely close to zero.

Keeping such a person in a laboratory is like throwing a cigarette butt into a petrol can.

Seeing Dean Zhou who was angry at the students there, Principal Cai smoothed things over and said.

"Old Zhou, don't embarrass this kid too much. Academician Lu asked him to go out. Can he, a doctoral student, talk back? Put it in another place."

Although he understood the truth, Dean Zhou still shook his head and said angrily.

"Nonsense, it's just nonsense!"

After persuading Dean Zhou, Cai Mingrui then looked at the doctoral student and continued in a gentle tone.

"You're not to blame for this matter, just take us there to find Academician Lu."

Seeing that the principal helped him out, the doctoral student finally breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded quickly.

"Okay, no problem, please follow me!"

After a group of people entered the research institute, they soon came to the door of the laboratory.

The doctoral student stepped forward and pressed his fingerprints on the combination lock.

However, something unexpected happened.

I saw the red light flashing slightly on the door lock, but the door was still standing there motionless.

Seeing the word [lock] floating above the doorknob, the doctoral student was slightly taken aback, muttered "strange" in a low voice, and tried again.

The result was the same this time.

The door didn't move at all.

Li Guangya, who couldn't wait any longer, had been patient and silent, finally couldn't help but spoke anxiously.

"What's going on? Are you still going in?"

"It's not that I don't want to go in..."

The expression on his face was full of embarrassment. The doctoral student standing at the door looked back at Dean Zhou and Principal Cai behind him with embarrassment, swallowed and continued.

"Door……"

"Looks like it's locked from the inside."
