“It’s really a new type of alloy?!”
Professor Yu looked at those calculations on the paper and secretly deduced in his heart, he found that what was written on it were the properties of several common metal materials, but if one followed the process of alloying, these several metal materials were really suitable for making an alloy.
The steps and formulas on the calculations are exactly in the direction of alloying!
It’s just that ……
What kind of alloy is this?
Professor Yu was a bit puzzled, although the several materials on this paper were very common, but if the process applied was different, the final manufactured alloy would have very different properties.
Even if there is no suitable match, the alloy may not be as good as the most common metal, even though it can be made in the end.
So the key depends on how these materials are matched, and the process of making the alloy is also extraordinarily important.
Professor Yu was deep in thought. According to the researcher’s thinking, it was obvious that he already had a set of mature ideas, otherwise it would not have been possible to bring it to the laboratory for testing, because a new alloy, first of all, must first put enough effort on the derivation, that is to say, at least in the theory is able to work, and then can enter the experiment, to verify.
But the problem was that the paper didn’t even say how to process and manufacture it, it just listed some formulas and principles, but nothing further.
Professor Yu’s curiosity was aroused, and he subconsciously lit a cigarette and sat there thinking seriously, following the ideas on this piece of paper and deducing them in his mind.
Gradually, Professor Yu’s expression became grave, because he found that each of the materials listed on the paper had its own unique advantages, and if the advantages of these materials could be brought into play and successfully made into an alloy, then the performance of this new alloy would be absolutely terrifyingly strong.
At least, Professor Yu could not think of any other alloy in the world that could match this new alloy!
But the question is, how can we bring out the properties of these materials and successfully fuse them together to make a new alloy?
That is the biggest problem!
This is also the most difficult problem in the field of alloy manufacture.
For example, it is well known that one metal may have the best thermal conductivity and that one metal is stronger than the others.
The challenge is how to combine all these properties in the same alloy and bring them out.
This is also known as core technology!
What Professor Yu wanted to know was what the symbols on the bottom half of the paper meant, whether the researcher who had written the paper had scratched them out by hand or whether they all meant something special.
Professor Yu thought of many possibilities, such as the properties of these metals on the periodic table, their arrangement, etc., but he was disappointed to find that none of the possibilities he guessed could match up with these odd symbols in front of him.
“These symbols, what exactly do they represent ……” Professor Yu was full of doubts.
“Ding ……”
A crisp sound rang out, as if it was the sound of metal clashing, causing Professor Yu to suddenly snap out of his contemplation and look up to see one of his students using a broom to sweep the pile of debris that had been cleared off the lab bench into a bin.
A steel ball fell from the pile and rolled onto the ground, and the crisp sound was the result of this small object hitting the ground.
The small object rolled down right in front of Professor Yu, and he casually picked it up, shook his head slightly, folded the piece of paper in his hand and put it solemnly in his pocket, he subconsciously felt that what was recorded on this piece of paper seemed to be very valuable, and perhaps, he was also eager to figure out what those ghostly and weird symbols really meant.
“Teacher ……”
A student came over with a rubbish bag and gestured for Professor Yu to throw the small steel ball in.
Professor Yu lifted his hand and was just about to throw the small object away, but his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, his gaze, fixed on the small steel ball.
“Ee?”
Professor Yu looked at it for a moment and couldn’t help but ee in surprise, and then he immediately brought the small steel ball to his own eyes and observed it for himself, “Something is strange ……”
The student asked in confusion, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”
Professor Yu smiled but waved his hand, his eyes still fixed on the small steel ball in his hand, and said to himself, “It’s really strange, this is obviously metal, how come it’s so light?”
Yes, what was strange to Professor Yu was that the small ball in his hand was almost the size of a small steel ball, but when Professor Yu held it in his hand, he realised that it was as light as nothing, just like a plastic bean, so light that one could hardly notice that one was holding something in his hand.
“It’s a bit odd!”
Professor Yu said to himself, “Is it a new material?”
Thinking of this, he looked up and asked, “Where did this come from?”
The student, although strange in his mind, did not ask more questions and said, “I’m not too sure, it’s probably just on the workbench ……”
Professor Yu suddenly couldn’t help but feel a stirring in his heart as he remembered the piece of paper he had just read.
“Don’t clean up that miscellaneous stuff for now, and don’t throw it away!” Professor Yu suddenly said, “Put it all aside first, be careful not to scatter it …… Also, turn the equipment on immediately and test what kind of metal this little thing really is!”
“Yes!”
The student immediately nodded his head.
Professor Yu had a vague sense of expectation in his heart, he had a sense of hope.
Soon, all the equipment needed for the test was ready, Professor Yu did not do it himself, but gave the small object to the students to test, even though he had some expectations in his heart, but this kind of small thing could be done well by the students, this was also an opportunity to train them.
As a tutor, Professor Yu is naturally very competent.
As is customary in testing operations, several students first observed the small ball before placing it under a special microscope, and it was this first step of observation that left several students a little surprised.
“Ee?”
“This is ……”
“That’s not right? How can this be?”
A few students were instantly talking in a very strange way.
Professor Yu immediately asked, “What’s wrong?”
One of the students replied, “Teacher, there’s something …… strange about this thing.”
“Oh?”
Professor Yu’s spirit lifted and asked, “How strange?”
The student said, “Teacher, this little thing looks very light, but the internal material structure is extremely tight, although we don’t know how the other molecular structures are yet, but just looking at the physical structure is unusual, such a tight structure, I think it is almost comparable to some high strength metals.”
Professor Yu said to himself, “Keep testing!”
A few students got busy at once, but when it came to the sampling stage, they encountered difficulties again, because using the equipment in the laboratory, they were unable to cut through the spheres even a little bit, and even at extremely high temperatures, the spheres hardly changed at all.
Seeing this situation, Professor Yu’s anticipation grew even greater as he said, “Corrode with strong acid and use chemical analysis!”
However, the results were even more surprising to the students, as they were unable to corrode the surface of the spheres even with strong acid, let alone test them.
In desperation, they had to get on the equipment first and perform various scans and analyses on the blob.
Under the watchful eye of Professor Yu, several students tossed and turned for a good part of the day until it was dark and the lab’s management duty officer came to remind them that they had only made a preliminary analysis and got the analysis chart and some other results.
Seeing the test results, several students were shocked.
“Alloy?!”
Several students were shocked, but they couldn’t help but look at each other, this little ball, it was actually an alloy?
This was too much out of everyone’s expectation.
You know, even the most stable alloy known so far, there is no way that they could have been unable to do anything with all the tests they had employed!
This alloy is …… too stable, right?
Is it an alloy? They would have no problem saying it was a new type of metal that was as strong and solid as it could be.
But this analysis chart clearly shows that this is a piece of alloy with several metal components, and all of them still occupy a certain weight.
“Input the chart into the database and compare it with the charts of all the alloys!” Professor Yu immediately instructed, not even knowing when he had stood up from his chair.
“Yes.”
A student did as instructed and quickly.
The result came out – and the conclusion was that there was no result of any comparison.
“Sure enough!”
Like the students, Professor Yu was also extraordinarily shocked when he saw this test result, but in addition to the shock, he had an indescribable excitement because he could be sure that this was definitely a brand new alloy.
Since there were no comparative results in the database, this meant that this was definitely not any of the alloys known today, but a completely new type of alloy!
What’s more, this brand new alloy, not to mention its performance, just the hardness and stability alone, is enough to make any other kind of alloy can’t look up to it!
As for the other metals …… it is even less worth mentioning!
Although we don’t know the other properties of this alloy, such as thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity, the hardness and stability of this alloy alone are enough to make it the best in the alloy world!
“A major discovery!”
Professor Yu was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
