53: Chapter 53: The New High-Temperature Resistant Material is a Success!

Qin Weimin put down his phone and looked at the busy figures in the laboratory, his eyes burning with uncontrollable intensity.

About ten minutes later, three or four people appeared at the end of the corridor.

"Old Qin, what's the situation?"

"It's this laboratory, see for yourself!" Qin Weimin pointed inside.

Chang Hongsheng followed his gaze and looked over, his expression immediately becoming serious. With his ability, he naturally saw the situation inside the laboratory at a glance.

"High-temperature resistant material! Is it a research team from your university?"

Chang Hongsheng was surprised; high melting point tests... only appeared in the synthesis of extreme materials. Plus, since Qin Weimin had specifically called him over, there was almost no need to doubt it.

"...It's a Club from our university!" Qin Weimin replied, his face also serious.

"A Club?" Chang Hongsheng paused, staring into the laboratory, his tone becoming even more serious: "It looks like the experiment is nearing its end. They must have finished synthesizing the material. It's highly likely a new type of material, and they are already conducting preliminary tests. I just don't know the specific test results yet! They should be out soon!"

"..."

Both of their gazes were burning with intensity, yet there was also a hint of nervousness, because they both knew very well that if successful, it would mean that the problem that had been plaguing them would have a new solution.

In the aerospace field, they were lagging far behind, and the researchers on their project team were all holding their breath.

If a new type of high-temperature resistant material really appeared and met the project's requirements, combined with the tight delivery schedule, it would undoubtedly give them another option.

"Extreme melting point test passed..." Inside the laboratory, Qian Donglai was responsible for data recording and observation, staring intently at the computer screen as various data flashed by.

"Thermal conductivity data is normal, meeting the experimental plan's expectations..."

"Tensile strength test passed..."

"Oxidation resistance test passed..."

"..."

"Please, don't have any problems..."

As each piece of data appeared, Wen Chenfeng's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

Entering Hangjiang University from high school, where the nation's elite gathered, for many, college was the beginning of true freedom from family control. But he couldn't afford that; he had to get a scholarship.

However, getting a scholarship in such a key university was extremely difficult. He didn't just have to work harder than others. So, when Zhou Fan invited him to join the Table Tennis Club and offered rewards for every scientific research breakthrough, he joined without hesitation.

A comfortable college life was a luxury for him, but this successful experiment was more than just an achievement; it was an important part of his resume for the scholarship.

"Just one last step left!" Chen Bing muttered to himself, watching the new material enveloped in a fireball, feeling like his heart was about to jump out.

After all, he was still a freshman, and his emotions were written all over his face. Moreover, he was majoring in materials science. If he could create a high-temperature resistant material at school, it would be much easier to choose a supervisor for graduate school.

"As long as the test ends, the new material's mass isn't lost, and its form remains intact, it will be a success..." Qian Donglai and Sun Chuyang both subconsciously glanced at the time.

"Five minutes left!"

"..."

For the first time, they felt time was so long, and every second was agonizing.

The machines in the laboratory were roaring.

Zhou Fan looked down at the time on his wristwatch and nodded gently: "It should be fine!"

The completion of the high-temperature resistant material was a very good start for him. After all, Room-Temperature Superconductivity was a complex and massive project, a super-large-scale scientific research project where pouring in tens of billions might not even yield any results.

In his past life, so many people and so many research teams were trapped in this massive project, unable to break through those few critical technologies.

After his rebirth, Zhou Fan found his former roommates and also recruited future top materials science experts, training them from college to restart the research on Room-Temperature Superconductivity.

This high-temperature resistant material was just the beginning in the field of materials.

Compared to the joy of the others, Zhou Fan didn't show much change in expression.

"Did it succeed?" Chen Bing asked, full of anticipation, turning to look at Qian Donglai, who was in charge of data statistics next to him.

"According to the data, it succeeded!" Qian Donglai nodded in a daze.

"A new type of high-temperature resistant material, it was really synthesized!"

"I knew it would work; the information Zhou Fan prepared was too perfect..."

The success of the experiment was undoubtedly exhilarating for these freshmen. Qian Donglai and the others couldn't help but wave their fists hard, their excitement overflowing.

"Alright, we've been tired all day, let's stop here for today!" Zhou Fan smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the results of this experiment.

"Let's go, let's go, my treat! We must celebrate tonight. Haoyun Food Stall on the food street, we won't leave until we're drunk!!" Qian Donglai called out, his face beaming with joy.

"You fatso, usually so stingy, it's rare for you to treat us today, I must fleece you hard!" Sun Chuyang's eyes lit up, immediately rubbing his hands together, unable to wait.

"Where am I stingy? It's just that I spent all my money buying a phone at the start of the semester and have been living miserably. Now that my monthly allowance has arrived, I must treat myself well!"

Qian Donglai wasn't thin-skinned; he chuckled and cleaned up the laboratory with Sun Chuyang.

"Speaking of phones, the ones I promised to give you should arrive in the next few days!" Zhou Fan said, turning back, then packed up simply and walked outside.

"I thought you were just joking!" Chen Bing was stunned, his eyes instantly lighting up.

"Is it what you said before, that joining the Club means getting a phone?" Wen Chenfeng was also stunned, his eyes widening. He had always thought it was just a joke; after all, even if a fanmi mobile phone was cheap among all mobile phone manufacturers, it was still two thousand yuan, half a year's living expenses for him.

"Don't be so naive, okay? It's not like you don't know Zhou Fan has been obsessed with showing off lately..." Sun Chuyang joked, offering a well-intentioned reminder.

As soon as these words were spoken, the enthusiastic atmosphere instantly cooled down. Chen Bing shook his head and went back to his work. He had almost fallen for Zhou Fan's big trick. He had even been thinking about taking the new phone to a mixer; wouldn't that be super impressive?

Zhou Fan shook his head with a smile and didn't argue. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"The next stability test is actually testing the material to its limits: melting point, thermal conductivity, compressive strength, vacuum testing, and perfecting the oxidation process. Over the next few days, we need to go over the experimental plan again and get prepared..."

Facts speak louder than words. When the time comes, he would just throw the phones in their faces and let them see for themselves whether he was just showing off.

"When is the next experiment?" Wen Chenfeng couldn't help asking. Although there was no new phone, the success of the experiment made him somewhat impatient.

"It should be in the next few days..."

"We are just too awesome... Creating a synthetic material that can withstand 2,700 degrees of high temperature as freshmen. If we follow Zhou Fan's idea and optimize the graphene matrix further, maybe we can break through 3,000..." Qian Donglai couldn't control the smile on his face and shouted excitedly.

Although he knew that the vast majority of the credit belonged to Zhou Fan, he was definitely lucky to be able to participate in it.

He wasn't a novice; a composite material that could withstand temperatures over 2,000 degrees had too many potential uses. It was even possible to use it in the aerospace field in the future.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

Zhou Fan watched their excitement and smiled slightly, but just as he walked out of the laboratory, his footsteps paused.

Because standing outside the laboratory at this moment were a dozen figures, staring straight at them, and the atmosphere was clearly wrong.

"What's the situation?" Chen Bing was stunned and subconsciously stood up straight.

He was in the materials department, and he recognized the figure leading them.

Qin Weimin, the top big shot in the materials department at Hangjiang University, a distinguished professor. Many people hoped to become Qin Weimin's student, but he no longer taught regular classes. To become a student of Qin Weimin, one had to be a graduate student.

And now, Qin Weimin appeared right in front of him, his eyes looking as if he wanted to devour them alive.
