741: Chapter 736 Non-existent Materials

The hands clasped together were not just a reconciliation between two top scientists, but also the prelude to a new era, personally ushered in by Shen Yan.

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua, one the founder in the theoretical field, the other the pioneer in the engineering field.

They were like the two towering pillars constructing a divine temple.

And now, Shen Yan had placed them side by side.

Shen Yan looked at them, a faint, indifferent smile playing on his lips.

"Since everyone is here, let's not waste time at the clubhouse anymore."

He stood up.

"Let's go take a look at your future battlefield."

Half an hour later.

A black phaeton smoothly drove into the underground garage of the Lingnan High-Tech Park.

This was the newest and highest-security office building in the park, the 'Core of Creative Intelligence'.

Chen Guangke was already waiting there.

"Brother Yan."

He stepped forward and handed over an access card.

Shen Yan nodded, bringing the two scientists, who wore different expressions, into the exclusive elevator.

Inside the elevator, Wei Lizhou and Li Hua remained silent.

Li Hua's gaze occasionally swept across Shen Yan's profile, the look of inquiry and shock in his eyes had still not dissipated.

He was still processing everything that had happened today.

The solution for the 'Titanium-Rhodium Alloy' and the structural diagram for the 'Biological Signal Resonance Module' were like two great mountains that had completely crushed his pride as a genius.

Ding—

The elevator doors opened.

What appeared before them was a space so vast it was almost empty.

Three thousand square meters.

The entire floor had been completely opened up.

Dozens of workers were nervously carrying out internal construction, and the air was filled with the mixed scent of new materials and dust.

"This is the temporary headquarters of Yuanqi Life, and also the location of Laboratory No. 1."

Shen Yan's voice echoed in the vast space.

"It is being built to the highest dust-free standard, equipped with independent power supply and fresh air systems."

"In three months, this will become the most advanced life science laboratory in the world, bar none."

His words were calm, yet carried an undeniable certainty.

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua walked on the newly laid anti-static floor, looking at the bustling scene before them, their excitement beyond words.

It was like a painter who had spent his entire life using inferior brushes and canvases, suddenly being given a top-tier studio and inexhaustible paints one day.

That feeling was akin to being granted a second life.

Shen Yan led them to the center of the entire floor.

There, a huge project table had already been set up.

On the tabletop lay a blueprint magnified to the extreme.

It was precisely the structural diagram of the 'Biological Signal Resonance Module'.

"Starting today, for the next three months, the three of us will work here."

Shen Yan pointed at the blueprint.

"I have only one requirement."

"Turn what is on this blueprint into reality."

The gazes of Wei Lizhou and Li Hua simultaneously focused on the complex diagram.

After the initial excitement subsided, their professional minds began to feel a slight pressure.

This blueprint was too far ahead of its time.

Every technical node involved seemed like a product from a science fiction movie.

"Mr. Shen..."

Wei Lizhou looked at the diagram, his brow tightly furrowed.

"This project can be called the 'prometheus Project', because it is like stealing the fire of the gods."

"But its difficulty is also god-level."

"We don't even... know where to begin."

This was not humility.

It was the most genuine reaction of a rigorous scientist facing an unprecedented, grand undertaking.

Li Hua also nodded, pointing to a structure on the diagram that was finer than a strand of hair.

"Take this 'Neuron Signal Resonance Cavity' for example."

"Its material requirements must be able to withstand biological electrical impulses exceeding one billion times per second, while its own degradation must be less than one ten-millionth."

"Based on my knowledge reserves, such a material does not exist on Earth."

His implication was clear.

No matter how perfect the blueprint, if it cannot be manufactured, it is just scrap paper.

This was the first and most fundamental obstacle.

Chen Guangke stood to the side, also sweating nervously.

Although he didn't understand the technology, he could tell that these two top figures seemed to have encountered an unsolvable problem.

He looked at Shen Yan, wanting to see how his boss would handle this initial difficulty.

Shen Yan showed no surprise on his face.

It was as if he had anticipated this problem long ago.

"I have already solved the material problem."

He said lightly.

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua were stunned simultaneously.

Solved?

"It's the Titanium-Rhodium Alloy that I showed Professor Li."

Shen Yan stated.

"No, impossible!"

Li Hua immediately refuted.

"After I returned, I checked all the publicly available data. Although Titanium-Rhodium Alloy is stable, its crystal lattice structure fundamentally cannot achieve the resonance characteristics required by the blueprint!"

"Conventional smelting technology can at most raise its crystal purity to six nines (99.9999%)."

"But the blueprint requires fifteen nines!"

"This has already exceeded the limits of modern materials science!"

Li Hua's emotions became somewhat agitated.

This concerned the field he was most skilled in; he could not tolerate any imprecise statement.

Shen Yan did not argue with him.

He just walked to the project table, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote down a line of formulas and several key parameters on a blank piece of paper nearby.

"Conventional technology indeed won't work."

"But what if we use the High-Pressure Plasma Arc Melting method?"

"In a deep helium environment close to absolute zero, use ultra-high frequency positive and negative arcs to bombard and reorganize the material billions of times."

"This process can eliminate almost all impurity atoms from the metal crystal lattice."

As Shen Yan spoke, he drew a simple schematic diagram of the equipment on the paper.

His movements were fluid, as if this technology had already been rehearsed in his mind thousands of times.

Wei Lizhou and Li Hua both crowded over.

Their eyes were fixed tightly on that piece of paper.

At first, their eyes held doubt.

But soon, doubt turned into shock.

And then, shock turned into fervor!

"Deep helium environment... plasma arc... My heavens..."

Li Hua murmured to himself, his body trembling slightly from excessive excitement.

"This approach... this approach is too insane! And too brilliant!"

"This is essentially a 'reformatting' of the material at the atomic level!"

Although Wei Lizhou was not a materials science expert, he understood the core principle.

He adjusted his glasses and looked at Shen Yan with the gaze one reserves for a monster.

"Mr. Shen... this technology..."

"It was a theoretical conjecture proposed in the 1970s within a sealed aerospace material project by the former Soviet Union."
