Chapter 85 Metallic Hydrogen

In April, he had already entered the Star Sea to study with a more advanced teacher, so the basic courses could be skipped directly.

He could start directly from the paper.

The first thing to study is mathematics, and the second is physics.

Needless to say, mathematics is the king of all weapons. If the sword is the king of all weapons, then mathematics is the king of encyclopedias. It sits high on the throne and overlooks all living things in the world.

And physics

Let's put it this way, the entire Star Sea is full of physics, various complex starry sky environments, stars, black holes, gravitational fields, and magnetic field chaos areas. If you don't understand physics and rashly go to such a dangerous area, you can only pray to God to see who can save you.

But physicists can find a safe way through knowledge.

Not to mention, the basic levels of civilization are physical civilizations, all of which study the structure of matter and general laws of motion. The only difference is that the advanced research is deep and the low-level research is shallow.

Soon, Qin Yue lived a life of library, canteen, dormitory, playground, dormitory, and Xinghai. He held a book when he woke up every day, when he entered Xinghai, when he ate, and even when he commanded a warship. He was doing two things at the same time.

Even so, his record was still very good, and he always ranked first. However, this result was not exaggerated for other students. Qin Yue’s classmates had already spread the word that Qin Yue had defeated Zhou Qiong in a simulated battle.

His hard work was not special in Beidou University, because everyone was like this.

The teachers in the school taught very quickly. A 400-page, 1.5 cm thick textbook might take one or two semesters in other schools, but in Beidou University, it could be taught in two or three classes, and there would be no rest after teaching, as new courses would come in.

With such a tight time, can so much content be learned?

The answer is that you can learn it all. People in the star sea, these students are smart, and their mental power after the injection is a little higher than that of other people who have received the injection. Generally, they can achieve the level of photographic memory.

However, photographic memory does not mean that you can master it. After learning a book, you still have to read a lot of articles and do a lot of questions to fully master it. The teacher will not give you this time, you can only find time by yourself.

Qin Yue still took the book and gave the calculation part to Zhizi. Most people even brought computers and draft paper. When they suddenly got an idea while walking on the road, they would lie down and calculate it.

Study, military training, July used to be quite difficult, but because the humid air brought by the hurricane was blown to Gansu, Beidou University was cloudy and rainy throughout July, but the rain was not heavy, so it did not delay military training.

At the end of July, Qin Yue came to the office of the material mechanics teacher with a manuscript.

The material science teacher's surname is Wang, his name is Jin Yan, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and a researcher at the School of Materials of the Tianqin District Academy of Sciences.

He spends most of his time in the Lyra region, and can only spare five or six hours a week to attend classes. In order to facilitate classes, he simply moved his home from BJ to Nanfeng Aerospace City, so that he doesn't have to attend classes in the starry sea with extremely high delays.

"Oh, it's Qin Yue!" Academician Jin Yan is very familiar with Qin Yue, or he is familiar with every student. This student is usually taciturn, but he studies very hard, and his grades have always been good, ranking in the top three: "Do you want to ask any questions?"

"I, I wrote a paper here, I would like to ask you to take a look." Qin Yue carefully took out the manuscript.

Facing classmates' parents, act, facing aliens, act.

Up to now, Qin Yue's acting skills have been perfect, and he and the role are almost integrated.

"Oh, let me see" Wang Jinyan adjusted his glasses. Although college students generally start writing papers in their third and fourth years, students of Beidou University are different after all!

In just one month, many students in the whole school have submitted papers. Many math problems that have not been solved in the mathematics community have been solved in this month. Some students have even started to tackle the world's seven major math problems!

Unfortunately, they don't know that four of the seven major problems have been solved by their predecessors, but they have not been published.

"A method for preparing metallic hydrogen in the laboratory, um, metallic hydrogen, this is, um? Metallic hydrogen?"

Wang Jinyan originally thought it was nothing, but when he thought about the role of metallic hydrogen, he felt something was wrong and hurried to continue reading.

Metallic hydrogen is to break the molecular bonds of hydrogen under high temperature and high pressure, and then change them into metallic bonds. The core technical point is to convert the two electrons of hydrogen molecules into free electrons.

The application range of metallic hydrogen is extremely wide. First of all, its density is greater than that of hydrogen. The energy density of metallic hydrogen of the same volume is seven times that of liquid hydrogen. Therefore, for rockets that use hydrogen as fuel, the same size of power system can put seven times more fuel, which can make the rocket faster and fly farther.

Secondly, the energy contained in metallic hydrogen is 30 to 40 times the energy of TNT under the same conditions. If the shells loaded with TNT are replaced with metallic hydrogen, the explosive power can become 30 to 40 times the original!

Furthermore, metallic hydrogen is similar to a superconducting material, and its internal resistance can be ignored. When metallic hydrogen is used to transport electricity, the loss of electricity during transmission will not exceed 1%. Using metallic hydrogen to make wires and replace various circuits inside spacecraft and warships can also reduce the thermal radiation of warships, reduce energy loss, and greatly reduce the possibility of being discovered by the enemy.

The most important thing is that metallic hydrogen can confine plasma, and the product of nuclear fusion is a kind of plasma!

In other words, metallic hydrogen is actually an important puzzle piece of nuclear fusion!

How important is such a material that can greatly improve the power, concealment, energy saving of warships, and even promote the birth of controlled nuclear fusion?

Let's put it this way, if it was placed fifty or sixty years ago, if the paper was fine, then Qin Yue's name would be sealed, and Qin Yue would disappear from the world. Maybe after twenty or thirty years, Qin Yue's name will appear at a commendation meeting, and netizens will glance at it and then forget it.

Unfortunately, the principle of this material is simple to say, but extremely difficult to do. Theoretically, you have to use a 1,000-ton hydraulic press to smash it from the height of the 10th floor to generate a pressure of 2 million times the atmosphere, and then a little bit of metallic hydrogen can be born. Moreover, this thing is not stable and will explode if you relax a little!

Wang Jinyan knows the difficulty of this thing. In fact, they have people studying this thing at the Tianqin Academy of Sciences. They have prepared a little bit, but it cannot be stored at room temperature and cannot be used. It can only be stuck with diamonds. It cannot be seen with the naked eye. You have to use a microscope to see it. When other scientists come to visit, they will take him to see it and show off.

Even so, this is already a remarkable breakthrough!

But now, what does he see?

A student has developed a method to prepare metallic hydrogen?

It can't be the pressure method!

Wang Jinyan continued to look down, and then found that he did not use the compression method, but the electron extraction method!

Instead of working on the molecular bonds, they directly target the electrons and use special materials to remove the electrons. Without the electrons, the molecular bonds of the hydrogen molecules automatically break, forming metallic bonds, and metallic hydrogen is born!

The whole paper seems to be wild and unrestrained, completely imaginary, but if you look closely, it seems to make some sense.

Wang Jinyan read it for a long time, then turned on the computer and started to verify.

He found that the application of various formulas and the calculation process were all correct, without any mistakes or omissions.

So.

"Have you done experiments?" Wang Jinyan asked.

"No, I don't have equipment or materials, but after calculation, I feel it's okay!" Qin Yue replied.

"Ah this." Wang Jinyan was speechless. Is this computational materials science?

People used to think that chemical reactions were predetermined and could only be studied through experiments. Later, people found that mathematical formulas and computer programs could be used to calculate and verify some chemical problems.

The discipline of computational chemistry came into being.

The same is true for computational materials science. They are all new disciplines born after the emergence of computers.

But they use computers, and this student uses a pen!

Is this the young man? So terrifying!

"Come on, follow me to the research institute. This is very important. Let's go and verify it now!" Wang Jinyan looked at the young Qin Yue, and the more he looked, the happier he became. Although he had accepted several apprentices, many of them had already graduated.

But who would dislike having too many good apprentices!
