Chapter 468
“That’s right, it’s a plus!”
A smile appeared on Lu Yu’s face and explained:
“You also know that multi-walled carbon nanotubes have lower elasticity and higher hardness.”
“The design of our exoskeleton device this time is to throw away flexible materials and directly choose to use neuronal transmitters.”
“Its requirements for elasticity are much lower!”
“Although single-walled carbon nanotubes are more elastic than multi-walled carbon nanotubes to a certain extent, compared with higher hardness, the latter is obviously more important!”
Seeing that several scholars had barely fully understood, Lu Yu’s face showed a smile and explained;
“So be it. If I explain it this way, you should know what I mean.
“Everyone should know that multi-walled carbon nanotubes have high elastic modulus, tensile strength and hardness due to their large diameter and interlayer interaction, and can be used as reinforcements or carriers for high-strength composite materials!”
“Single-walled carbon nanotubes, due to their small diameter and flexibility, are prone to bending, twisting, kinking or buckling, affecting their mechanical properties.”
“Carbon nanotubes as a biological battery, the main source of energy supply. What is most needed?
“It’s tough enough, it’s stable enough.” The multi-walled carbon nanotubes perfectly meet our needs! And….”With
Lu Yu’s in-depth and concise explanation, everyone’s faces suddenly showed a look of understanding:
“So it is!”
“In this case, multi-walled carbon nanotubes are indeed more suitable for our research in this regard!”
“Yes! So the problem we need to solve now is the conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes!
“So be it.”
“Let’s make a preliminary model first, and then study it well, how to solve this trouble!”
Lu Yu said.
They need to hurry too fast now!
Therefore, some things need to be done simultaneously by both sides, and if you do it while perfecting the theory, although it lacks some on the basis of the theory, this is also something that cannot be done in the context of hurry.
However, if you wait until all the basic theories are perfected to make multi-walled carbon nanotubes, it may be too late!
Take advantage of the time when multi-walled carbon nanotubes are being made.
Lu Yu and Su Xiaoxiao also began to discuss which method to use to complete the conductivity of carbon nanotubes!
“I think.”
“Sometimes the simplest way is also the most practical way.”
“How about we try doping?”
Lu Yu rubbed his temples and said slowly.
“Your thoughts, this time are consistent with me, and I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.”
Su Xiaoxiao;
“I thought you were going to come up with some weird but particularly useful method.”
“What is a strange but particularly useful method…”
Lu Yu couldn’t help but complain, and then his face returned to a serious look, and continued:
“Look, what we need most now is actually to find a way to improve the conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes, as long as the performance in this area goes up, let it act as a biological battery… There are basically no big problems.
“Since there is only this one problem left on the surface, let’s not make so many flowers and intestines.”
“Let’s try it with doping first, and then we won’t talk about it.”
“Although this method is relatively stupid, the common method also has its benefits, low cost, quick effect…” Lu
Yu talked with Su Xiaoxiao for a while, and the two completed the communication with other scholars, and everyone finally agreed, using the doping method to complete this last step!
Doping, as the name suggests, is the method of doping one element into another!
It is one of the common ways to improve the conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes!
“Chief Engineer Lu, our side is OK!”
A researcher gestured “OK” and then held the manufactured multi-carbon nanotubes in front of everyone.
“It’s pretty fast.”
Lu Yu’s eyes showed a look of satisfaction.
Now it is about to carry out the landing test, the higher the efficiency, the better, which is one of the reasons why they chose to use multi-carbon nanotubes, after all, the preparation method is simpler and the cost is lower!
Don’t underestimate the cost!
This exoskeleton device, one day in the future, will be massively produced to the entire army!
Using multi-carbon nanotubes, it is possible to prepare a set of exoskeleton devices, which can save about hundreds of yuan in costs! Placed on a single exoskeleton armor, it is naturally not a lot of money!
But what if this number is increased to tens of millions of sets?
This time, it can save nearly 10 billion!
Isn’t this finance cut out little by little?
“Come on, let’s move on to the next step.”
Seeing that the multi-walled carbon nanotubes were done, Lu Yu began to lead his group of researchers to practice doping!
“Let’s use elemental doping.”
“A little more efficient.”
Lu Yu said.
“Okay!”
The scholars nodded in agreement, and no one raised an objection!
Doping method, there are mainly two methods of chemical modification and direct doping of elements.
Element doping is more favored by Lu language due to its easy operation! He also directly chose to choose Cl2, Br2, and I2 to dope multi-walled carbon nanotubes and began to compare the changes in conductivity!
The research group quickly introduced new properties to carbon nanotubes by modifying them on the surface!
These newly introduced elemental properties are then used for very specific applications!
These applications often require organic solvents or water solubility, greater functionality, dispersion and compatibility, or lower toxicity of CNTs!
With that done, there’s only one last step!
“Xiaoxiao, you help me hand over the plasma, you control the ozone concentration, and when you carry out oxidation operations, these are very important!”
Lu Yu ordered.
“Yes, Chief Engineer Lu!”
The researchers nodded one after another, holding their breath and starting to prepare for the oxidation operation!
Lu Yu took the plasma handed over by Su Xiaoxiao, and then, at the same time, concentrated acid, high-concentration ozone and plasma were introduced for oxidation!
After the oxidation is over, the researchers quickly filled the inside of the carbon nanotubes with metals, oxides and other substances!
After one operation, the outermost carbon nanotubes directly became the mold of the biological battery!
Only need to fill the carbon nanotubes with metals and other substances, and then corrode the carbon layer to prepare the finest nanoscale wires! Combined with the graphene neuronal transmitter prepared long ago, as well as nanometal active electrodes!
This set of experimental elements has finally been preliminarily completed!
“Whew…”
“Finally done.”
Lu Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief, and a satisfied look appeared on his face:
“Try again.”
“This time, it should be fine, right?”
He carefully put this set of experimental elements back into the simulator, officially activated the simulator, and then waited for the results!
With a burst of electric current, the simulator began to simulate the internal environment of the exoskeleton device and operated these experimental elements.
And the faces of the researchers also became a little nervous!
They have just been busy for so long, just to solve the problems they encountered before, if the addition of active electrodes and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, still can’t solve the problem, then it will be a bit troublesome.
“Can it succeed?”
Su Xiaoxiao subconsciously glanced at Lu Yu.
“It should be possible.”
“This time, I didn’t find any obvious loopholes in my thinking, and under normal circumstances, there would be no problems.”
Lu Yu said casually.
“Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao let out an “oh” and didn’t say anything more.
Even she didn’t realize that although Lu Yu just said such a sentence casually, it suddenly made her mentality a lot calmer!
After waiting for a long time.
Finally….
With a prompt tone, the four big words “simulation successful” appeared on the machine!
“It worked!”
“Sure enough, no problem!”
A soothing smile appeared on Lu Yu’s face, and the faces of the other researchers also became excited!
Although, this is only a successful operation in a simulated environment, but…. It is not easy to reach this step in such a short time!
The other researchers present were also a little excited!
However, in addition to being happy, many people can’t help but sigh at the magic of Lu Yu!
Normally… It is almost impossible to complete the amount of their task today, without taking two or three days! Even two or three days is considered efficient enough!
But there is a land language.
Their entire experiment, including the follow-up simulation process, took only one day to complete!
There is no doubt that this efficiency is like opening a hanging!
Although this is not the first time they have experienced this kind of open-hanging research process, it is still difficult not to sigh every time they experience it!
“It’s almost time for dinner.”
“Today’s mission is almost here, right?”
Lu Yu glanced down at his watch and said slowly.
“It’s okay, Chief Engineer Lu!”
“We can do it again, such as trying to see if we can connect the neuronal transmitter first, see the specific effect, and then go to eat!”
A scholar said excitedly.
Although everyone was a little hungry at this point, but under the adrenaline bonus brought by the successful simulation just now, this hunger was instantly covered!
“Forget
it, let’s eat first.”
“The end is right, or the body matters. Besides, you’re not hungry yet, I’m hungry!
Lu Yu said half-jokingly.
Just as the so-called people are iron, rice is steel, if you don’t eat a meal, you are hungry and panic!
Eating on time and protecting your health is important for long-term research work… The importance is just as self-evident!
Especially for their current situation!
Everyone has just come to Gutuo Mountain for two days, and many people’s physical state has not completely come out of the nausea caused by altitude sickness, and their immunity has not fully recovered anything.
If suddenly the water and soil are not satisfied, the fever god or something.
That’s troublesome!
So… You still have to pay attention to diet and rest, Lu Yu himself doesn’t matter, but considering others, he still decided to suspend the steps of the experiment and let everyone have dinner first!
“Okay, Chief Engineer Lu!”
Lu Yu said so, and everyone naturally did not refute it!
A few people took off the thick experimental equipment, and then left the laboratory all the way to the cafeteria.
Lu Yu picked up the dining bowl, and after taking the dishes, he casually found a seat and sat down, and soon, Su Xiaoxiao also took the dinner plate and sat next to him.
“Our progress is quite fast today.”
“If we can maintain this speed, it should take us less than two days to complete the set tasks.”
Su Xiaoxiao said while eating.
“yes.”
“I just hope that when the final real machine is tested, there will be no accidents.”
Lu Yu nodded and was about to say something, but at this moment, an old voice sounded next to their ears:
“What are you two talking about, haha?”
Zhong Lao came to the side of the two people with the dinner plate, and asked with a smile.
“I’m talking about progress.”
Lu Yu smiled and continued:
“We are making good progress today, not only have we made all the specific experimental components, but also found a few loopholes and plugged it.”
“Test it again in the evening, we should be able to put our new ideas into use soon!”
“So soon?”
Although Elder Zhong had already expected it in his heart, he couldn’t help but be stunned when he heard Jiang Yi’s words.
Zhong Lao remembered that this idea Su Xiaoxiao seemed to have proposed the day before yesterday…. In just two days, it can be put into practice immediately?
“It’s you, little monster!”
Zhong Lao compared a “thumbs up”.
“That’s right, Elder Zhong.”
“How are you doing today?”
Lu Yu asked.
Zhong Lao came to Gutuo Mountain with them this time, in addition to being responsible for the study of specific physical dynamics, there were some other tasks.
In cooperation and handover with the leaders of the military region here, there is still a lot of work that must be completed in terms of formalities…
These are all things that Lu Yu has no experience with for the time being, so he will give it to Zhong Lao to be in charge. All day today, Zhong Lao went to work on this matter!
“It’s going well!”
“The leaders of the military region heard that once our exoskeleton equipment is successfully tested, they will immediately send the prototype to them, which is more than one excited!”
“There are still a few leaders, and they even want to see our specific experiments on the spot, haha!”
“In short, the final negotiation went smoothly, and the entire Gutuo Mountain area will be divided among us and temporarily used for various experiments.”
“Moreover, the military district also sent us a group of young men. It can be regarded as making up for the right time and place and the person inside.
Elder Zhong said with a smile.
“Boy?”
Lu Yu was slightly stunned, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
“Yes.”
“A group of bloody young men.”
“…”
