Chapter 331 Why is it immature?

After confirming that this network defense system was absolutely secure,

the sound of Old Qian's rapid breathing echoed through the office once again.

He turned around abruptly, his expression becoming extremely fanatical.

He looked at the few core Aerospace Experts present, then at Liu Jianguo, his hands gesturing vigorously in the air.

"Everyone, this document states that this is a new type of Carbon Fiber material with a tensile strength reaching 50 GPa and a modulus at the 1000 GPa level. You might not have fully realized just how important this is!"

Old Qian's voice sounded somewhat high-pitched due to his excessive excitement.

He clenched his fists tightly.

"Assuming we can mass-produce this material!"

"That would be equivalent to us achieving the engineering realization of carbon nanotube aggregates in reality!"

"That would be a completely disruptive revolution!"

...

Following Old Qian's definitive statement, the Aerospace Experts present all straightened their backs.

They were all top minds in the fields of materials and structures, so they naturally understood the weight of this data.

Old Qian did not pause at all; he impatiently began to list one by one the terrifying changes this super-strong fiber was about to bring.

"First is the aerospace field that we are most concerned about."

Old Qian pointed to the Old Expert nearby.

"We all know that whether it is building airplanes or rockets, weight is always the biggest bottleneck."

"For even a single gram of weight reduction, we have to spend millions in research and development funds."

"But with this!"

"Our airplane and rocket structures can directly reduce weight by more than fifty percent!"

"What does this mean?"

"It means we can completely abandon the current cumbersome multi-stage separation rockets and directly realize the manufacturing of single-stage-to-orbit rockets!"

...

Hearing this, the Old Expert felt his scalp tingle and his eyes widened.

Single-stage-to-orbit.

That is the hurdle that aerospace professionals all over the world dream of overcoming.

Old Qian took a deep breath and continued.

"Next is the electric vehicle field."

"Current electric vehicles are limited by the immense weight of the batteries and the car body, so range has always been a big problem."

"Once this material is used, the car body can be lightened by seventy percent directly."

"There is no need for a breakthrough in battery technology; the vehicle's range could double on the spot, and long-term comprehensive production costs would drop significantly."

Liu Jianguo stood to the side, listening in a daze.

He usually only managed military industry and didn't pay much attention to civilian cars, but he knew that a doubling of range would be a real dimensional reduction strike to the entire automotive market.

Old Qian's words continued, as if he were painting a picture of a tangible future.

"There is also everyday sports equipment."

"Like those high-end bicycles and tennis rackets currently on the market, they only use T1000-level Carbon Fiber."

"If replaced with this new type of fiber, they will become lighter, harder, and more impact-resistant, and even allow for affordable pricing after mass production."

"Let's look at the bridge and construction fields again."

Old Qian waved his hand.

"Traditional reinforced concrete is just too heavy and bulky."

"Using it as the main load-bearing structure, we could easily build super-long-span cross-sea bridges."

"We could even build absolutely earthquake-proof super skyscrapers."

Speaking of this, Old Qian turned his head specifically to look at Liu Jianguo.

"Jianguo, the fields of individual body armor and armor that your military industry system is most troubled by will also see a complete turnaround."

"Existing Kevlar materials have limited protective capabilities; if they are made slightly thicker, the individual soldier can no longer run."

"But if we make ultra-light body armor with this, not only will the weight be as light as nothing, but it could even directly withstand direct hits from large-caliber rifle rounds."

"Armor-piercing rounds hitting it won't penetrate either!"

...

As soon as this sentence came out,

Liu Jianguo's mind was buzzing.

He was all too familiar with the pain points of body armor.

If it were really as Old Qian said, the individual combat capability of the Eastern Country's army would skyrocket to a level that people would find ridiculous.

Old Qian ignored Liu Jianguo's shock; his gaze turned back to the ceiling above.

"Finally, there is the field of our artificial satellites and space stations."

"Current space facilities have always been limited by structural fatigue."

"With this material, our space stations will gain an ultra-long service life, capable of not only resisting high-intensity cosmic radiation but also hard-resisting direct impacts from micrometeoroids."

...

A series of application scenarios were thrown down.

The air in the office went quiet.

This was no longer a simple technological upgrade.

This was about completely tearing down and rebuilding the existing industrial system.

However,

just when everyone thought this was the limit,

Old Qian shook his head.

His hands were pressed tightly against the edge of the desk, the veins on the back of his hands standing out.

He threw out the final, and most disruptive, grand application.

"But everything mentioned before is just an appetizer."

Old Qian's voice began to tremble.

"Its greatest value lies in a concept we have discussed for half a century but have never been able to implement."

"Space Elevator!"

As soon as these four words came out,

the few Aerospace Experts present simultaneously took half a step back, expressions of having seen a ghost appearing on their faces.

Space Elevator.

That is the ultimate dream of all human aerospace scientists.

Establishing a base station on the equator and using a cable tens of thousands of kilometers long to connect directly to geosynchronous orbit.

"We are very clear."

Old Qian's gaze swept over the crowd.

"Currently, all space elevator plans in the world are stuck on one fatal bottleneck."

"That is insufficient material strength."

"No existing material can withstand the gravitational pull and centrifugal force of that cable tens of thousands of kilometers long."

"But now it is different."

"If there really exists a fiber with 50 to 100 GPa strength,"

"then the space elevator will no longer be a fantasy from science fiction novels."

"It will become the only feasible reality!"

Old Qian slammed the table heavily.

"With it, the cost of human entry into space could potentially be reduced by ninety percent directly!"

...

Following the end of Old Qian's description of this grand blueprint,

only the heavy breathing of the crowd remained in the office.

Everyone gasped.

They only felt their worldview being rubbed into the ground at this moment by these words.

It was too shocking.

It was too outrageous.

You have to know, that 20 GPa flagship Fishing Rod just now had already made them feel it was a miracle of human industry.

But what is described in this document now is the key that is enough to let human society jump up a level directly.

And at this moment,

Liu Jianguo, who had been standing on the side listening to these theories that sounded like heavenly books,

stood there dazed.

He finally realized, albeit belatedly, just how awesome this thing Li Jiajun had just taken out on his phone was.

He only felt his throat go dry.

He turned his head bit by bit, staring blankly at Li Jiajun sitting in the boss's chair.

His gaze now was completely like looking at a living monster.

He had previously been resentful that this kid hadn't poured his heart and soul out to him.

Now he felt,

this wasn't a case of not pouring his heart and soul out.

This kid had clearly just casually pulled out the entire future of humanity.

...

And just when Liu Jianguo was doubting life,

Old Qian's fanatical emotions also calmed down a little.

He suddenly frowned.

He thought of something very wrong.

Old Qian turned his head abruptly, his gaze staring sharply at Li Jiajun.

"That's not right, Little Li."

Old Qian stepped forward, his tone carrying deep confusion.

"When you just sent this document to me, you clearly said this was just an immature idea about the future."

"But..."
