75: Section 75

"We have it already?" Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

They were just struggling with this problem a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, Chief Yun solved it with a phone call?

Immediately, someone asked curiously, "Which project team member made this?"

"To be able to break through at this critical time, this is really great!"

"I hope it can be used."

"However, durability is only one aspect; another material is missing, one that is heat-resistant." After asking, Professor Xu muttered to himself.

After all, the Nuclear Fusion project is so massive that there are too many prerequisites needed.

The improvement of the data helped them by optimizing the direction of the experiments, letting them know the final result and ensuring that their path forward was correct.

However, wanting to actually implement it is still very difficult.

Materials are one of the biggest difficulties!

"Professor Xu is right."

"We already grasped the basic theory; the theory improved by Lin Bai is just an optimal option, allowing us to make the results even more perfect."

"However, to achieve this goal, materials are a big problem."

"To achieve atomic collision, the required temperature is as high as hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius. In the current era, the entire human world has not found or synthesized a material capable of withstanding such high temperatures."

"The highest heat-resistant material currently achievable is the one made by Lighthouse Country, which can withstand 6,600 degrees Celsius for only a few seconds."

However.

The charm of Nuclear Fusion lies in the fact that even when Lighthouse Country conducted experiments and let Nuclear Fusion last for no more than five seconds, the power storage obtained in those short five seconds was enough to power the entire The White House for three months!

And that was only for five seconds!

That is why they are so dedicated to the Nuclear Fusion project.

Seeing the slight disappointment among the group after their excitement, Chief Yun did not hide it and told them the source of this material directly: "This is also a material improved by Lin Bai."

"Lin Bai?" Hearing this name, everyone immediately showed an expression of surprise.

They didn't expect that encouraging Lin Bai to just buy some building materials to renovate his room, which was only to help them improve the data they had on hand, could yield such an unexpected harvest!

The members from the National Security Bureau had to resort to "cutting corners." In order to bring some materials back for the research institute to study, they saved some unnecessary materials and then snuck them back.

That same night, the materials were sent to Academician Li's No. 2 Research Institute.

This was also a place specifically used for analyzing various materials.

Academician Li stayed up all night to start the analysis task.

Of course, Academician Jiang, Professor Xu, and others also couldn't wait to come over to conduct the research together.

After all, they were the most familiar with the materials needed for Nuclear Fusion.

However, what they originally thought would be a simple matter took them three whole days to finish analyzing.

And both the process and the results were so surprising.

"The quality of this steel plate is a bit excessively good, isn't it?"

"It can't be cut with ordinary methods; even using thermal laser cutting, it takes an hour to show a crack, and it takes eight hours to cut it off completely..."

"I basically believe it now. Even if this material is not suitable for Nuclear Fusion, if thrown to the military industry units, it would definitely be very popular!"

When this was said, everyone agreed completely.

This could no longer be simply described as hard.

If this material were used on various military units, such as airplanes, tanks, artillery, etc., and the skin were made of this material, the defensive capabilities would be maxed out!

After the cutting was completed, further local analysis took another two days to finish.

However, the results were pleasantly surprising.

"The results are out!"

"This is a composite material containing various metal elements such as niobium-titanium graphene aluminum superalloy!"

"It simultaneously covers multiple advantages such as hardness, ductility, extremely strong resistance to compression, and most importantly, heat resistance!"

"It completely meets the necessary conditions for Nuclear Fusion!"

The results were immediately passed to Chief Yun, which also made him feel pleasantly surprised.

However, Academician Jiang subsequently came to find him in person and raised a very serious question.

"Elder Jiang, does this project still have any obstacles?"

Academician Jiang sighed and nodded, saying: "Yes. We have finished analyzing the building material that Lin Bai improved."

"The final conclusion is that we cannot completely replicate the method for this building material because it covers too much content. To completely replicate it, China's technological level needs to improve by at least fifty years!"

Hearing this, Chief Yun couldn't help but be stunned.

He had just learned about the benefits of this material, and he didn't expect it to turn into such bad news in the blink of an eye.

If it cannot be replicated, doesn't that mean they can't use this material?

After all, materials are different from data.

If they cannot produce such physical items themselves, they cannot rely on Lin Bai's ability to obtain them continuously!

If it can only be obtained through Lin Bai's ability, then for them, it is equivalent to not having it.

Just as he saw a glimmer of hope, it was extinguished, and Chief Yun couldn't help but feel a bit dejected.

However, Chief Yun looked at the elderly man in front of him again; he knew that the other party would definitely not have come in person just to tell him this news.

Sure enough, Academician Jiang then said: "However, we can disassemble this material."

"If the building material brought back from Lin Bai is an all-around perfect material, then we can turn it into multiple materials that are the best in specific aspects."

"Among them, the ones needed for our Nuclear Fusion project are the two materials extended from that building material."

"They are the niobium-titanium superalloy and the graphene superconductor. We can imitate and produce these two materials separately. One is extremely hard and can serve as the outer wall, and the other, verified by computer, can withstand a high temperature of at least 160 million degrees Celsius and can serve as the inner wall."

"In this way, we can get our hands on the two materials that have the highest requirements and are the most difficult to achieve for Nuclear Fusion!"

Hearing Academician Jiang say this, Chief Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it can be made, that's good!

Otherwise, no matter how advanced the data in hand is, it would just be a castle in the air.

However, research also has great needs, such as funding.

Academician Jiang came in person this time precisely because of the funding problem.

As a researcher, Academician Jiang did not have the habit of beating around the bush and said directly: "It's like this, these two brand new materials are just the results we verified through computer calculation, but to produce them, we need to create a new production line."

"Besides that, we also lack a lot of equipment."

"According to our basic theory, to complete Nuclear Fusion, we need to use a Tokamak device, which is a device used all over the world."

"However, according to the data after the improvement by Lin Bai's ability."

"Although this device can also achieve the goal, the upper limit is limited."

"To achieve final success, we must use this reinforced version of the shape-mimicking device!"

"And for this device, we need to build it from scratch."

"Whether it is the materials or the brand new device, the required funds are huge."

"But in the research funding allocation of our No. 1 Research Institute, because Nuclear Fusion is too difficult, it is treated with a lag. Now that it suddenly needs to be put on the agenda, we are already short of funds."

Because everyone thinks that progress in Nuclear Fusion cannot be achieved overnight.

Therefore, in the allocation of research funds, priority is given to other more urgent projects.

And for projects like Nuclear Fusion, which might not have any progress even after three or five years of research, they are treated with a lag, and the priority is not high.

Rather, it is actually because they see that other countries have not researched it either, so China is not in a hurry.

But now, having seen the hope for this project, he naturally wants to obtain more funds to support the entire project to move forward.

"So it's a funding problem; this is not a big deal!"

"As long as the Nuclear Fusion project can continue, that is the most important thing! At tomorrow's meeting, I will propose this requirement and apply for five hundred million, no, one billion in funding for Elder Jiang's project team, and must ensure that the project can move forward!"

Generally speaking, although the research requirements for such projects are calculated in the hundreds of millions, except for large military industrial units like developing aircraft carriers and fighter jets, other research units rarely can apply for such a large amount of funding at once so easily.

But this time, Chief Yun is very confident!

One reason is the confidence Lin Bai gave them, or rather, the confidence Lin Bai brought to China.

As long as it is clearly stated on the application that the project has been improved by Lin Bai's ability, the approval of the application is almost one hundred percent certain.

In addition, because during this period, they successfully broke through chip technology, rare earth refining technology, and combustible ice energy technology.

--- Seeking Flowers 0 · And these three technologies are also those that can be of great help in military use.

Although the Military Region Leader shouts every time at meetings that he wants to have military technology data improved as well, even though it has not been directly improved for military technology so far, in reality, military technology has actually received quite a few benefits.

The first to bear the brunt is the ultra-fine chip. The Navy, Army, and Air Force are constantly sending orders to the research institute, wanting to obtain this kind of chip to mount on some high-end military equipment.

Besides that. The energy from combustible ice is also the same.
