Chapter 215: What is he going to do?
Xu You knew that Chen Pingqiu's level basically represented the highest level of Chinese material forming.
If even Chen Pingqiu can't solve this problem.
It would certainly be difficult to complete the molding preparation using some traditional process methods.
Xu You must find some new methods in the molding process.
That’s right, Xu You thought of software simulation technology again.
In several previous studies, Xu You tasted the sweetness of computer science.
This includes the metal atomic cluster molecular structure design that I had previously helped Xu Zhou with, as well as the engine coating and cooling system design in the aerospace field.
Without software simulation, these achievements would not be possible.
And during these few days of study.
Xu You also read a book that introduced the combination of material forming technology and computer knowledge——
"Computer-aided engineering of materials forming".
Computer software integration technology can be used to help study the material forming process.
This technology has already been applied.
But most of them are some commonly used and mature materials.
If it is a new material, traditional experimental methods are more useful.
Because, for a new material, it is difficult for the software to accurately simulate its various properties.
Not to mention, computer software can help with the material forming process.
Xu You learned that so far, Chen Pingqiu and others have not yet used a lot of computer assistance in the preparation and molding process of this material.
It is just a molecular model constructed in the computer.
"We still need to measure the various properties of this substance carefully before we can study the software simulation."
Thinking of this, Xu You said to Xing Shuping:
"Academician Xing, I want to measure all the physical and chemical properties of this material."
Chen Pingqiu said, "We have already measured this. The data is in the computer. You can just go and check it out."
"Professor Chen, I know. I want to test it again myself, and maybe add some more experiments."
Xu You knew that the project team must have already tested it. It was not that Xu You did not trust these professors, but Xu You wanted to try and see if he could discover any new and more comprehensive properties.
If all else fails, testing it yourself will definitely help you understand the material better.
"Okay, Xu You. The amount of materials we have prepared is sufficient. We have various instruments and equipment here. You just need to go and test them." Xing Shuping said.
Seeing Xing Shuping say this, Chen Pingqiu did not express any further opinions.
"Let's see what else this kid can come up with." Chen Pingqiu said in his heart.
These properties were not measured by Chen Pingqiu alone, but by multiple material experts from the entire project team.
It can be said that basically all the measurable properties of a material have been tested.
No matter how capable Xu You is, he can't think more comprehensively than so many material experts.
After all, the value of these new materials is far more expensive than diamonds.
Chen Pingqiu felt that if there was no very good solution, this material should not be wasted.
However, since Xing Shuping has already agreed, Chen Pingqiu's opposition will not change the outcome.
Xu You took some samples of the new materials and began measuring the properties of various materials.
The various measurements of material properties are very tedious and lengthy.
In fact, measuring resistance is much more troublesome than in a condensed matter physics laboratory.
It took Xu You several days to completely measure dozens of properties of this material.
There is no difference compared with the measurement results of the previous project team.
Even so, Xu You still feels that this is a very meaningful thing.
It's like the difference between getting to know a person through other people's descriptions and getting to know that person by personally interacting with him or her.
Even the data of this person's height, weight, appearance, personality, and habits will not change.
But if you meet the person in person, you can get a more comprehensive understanding of the person, and not just focus on the data.
This will be of great help to Xu You's subsequent modeling work, as well as finding ways to prepare and shape this material.
After becoming fully familiar with the material.
Xu You started working on software simulation.
It is very difficult to fully simulate a new material and express all its properties in software.
This is not just having certain computer skills.
Instead, it requires very in-depth research in mathematics, physics, computer science and materials science.
Such talents are extremely rare throughout the world.
And Xu You can be considered one.
"Huh~ I finally finished the first version."
After hundreds of hours of hard work, Xu You finally simulated this material into the software.
Its properties can be well restored from dozens of different dimensions.
After preliminary verification, its authenticity is higher than 99.99%.
Although it is not yet possible to use these simulations to immediately optimize material preparation and molding technology.
However, it is already a solid first step.
During this period, other work of the project team also made progress.
The wire and tape forming technology of a material with a superconducting critical temperature of 160K has been studied.
This means that this material already has application value in the field of high power.
Once such results are published, they will surely cause a huge response in the world.
Chen Pingqiu, a material preparation expert, played a key role in this.
This made Chen Pingqiu feel very good, and he no longer looked so sad every day.
When seeing Xu You, he will take the initiative to say hello.
After completing a new phase of research work.
Xing Shuping once again organized everyone to hold a regular meeting to discuss recent progress and future directions.
At the beginning of the meeting, the molding process of 160K material became the focus of discussion.
Chen Pingqiu, one of , explained this new achievement.
"We had predicted before that some new high-temperature superconducting materials would be easier to process in terms of molding technology. As we expected, this 160K superconducting material has superior properties compared to other high-temperature superconducting materials. Although we encountered some difficulties in the molding process research, we successfully solved them in the end."
Chen Pingqiu was showing some pictures of their research results on the computer.
"So far, we have made the 160K material into a linear strip structure with a length of half a meter. Of course, half a meter is not our limit. As long as there is enough material, we can make it longer."
