Chapter 531 Why did you think of looking for me?
Because the measurement work that needs to be done next is very huge.
Even if Xu You had more energy, he would be unable to do everything.
At this time, we must make the most of the strength of team members.
"Of course, Professor Xu, we will do our best to complete the tasks you assign."
"Scientific research is a very hard job, and being a little tired is the norm."
"This is our common goal. Even if we sacrifice everything for it, there is nothing to regret. Besides, it's just a little bit of hard work. What's the harm in forgetting to eat and sleep?"
Seeing that everyone was so motivated, Xu You no longer had anything to worry about.
"Okay, I know everyone will go all out. There's no need to neglect sleep and food. No matter how important the work is, you still have to stay healthy. I want to remind everyone that when conducting tests, you must try to keep the new iron structure as intact as possible. This is very important, because with our current capabilities, once the structure of the new iron is destroyed, it cannot be restored."
Everyone understood Xu You's meaning and promised to be as careful as possible in the upcoming experiments.
After assigning specific tasks, everyone started their own experiments in groups.
The purpose of Xu You's plan was to understand the properties of the new type of iron as much as possible.
Only in this way can Xu You carry out subsequent simulations more accurately and allow the new type of iron to play its greatest role.
Through the information of SAM Space Agency's Apollo project, Xu You learned that the new type of iron is a material with great application potential in various fields.
But Xu You felt that the correct way to open the new type of iron was not so simple.
Perhaps, by adding some other substances and allowing the new type of iron to form a new alloy, better performance can be achieved.
After a period of intensive experiments, the project team finally completed the measurement of all experimental data.
Seeing the experimental data of the new type of iron, Xu You couldn't help but be surprised at the properties of this substance.
"Professor Xu, the hardness and compressive strength of the new iron element have surpassed any existing steel, even the steel plates used on our code-named IV and V aircraft carriers. If we can use this new iron in large quantities as the material for aircraft carriers, then our next generation of aircraft carriers will be a steel monster."
With this level of hardness and pressure resistance, even nuclear weapons would find it difficult to cause serious damage to it.
Xu You knew that if this new type of iron could be used in the next generation of aircraft carriers, it would indeed greatly improve the material of the aircraft carriers.
However, such an idea is not realistic at the moment.
"Using this new type of iron to build an aircraft carrier is still too far away for us. An aircraft carrier requires tens of thousands of tons of steel. If we want to transport it back from the moon, with the current carrying capacity, I don't know how many trips it will take. Even if we can transport it back, the energy consumed will be an astronomical figure."
"Then Professor Xu, is it possible for us to directly process this new type of iron in some way?"
Xu You had also thought about this idea before.
Unfortunately, Xu You also tried to synthesize this new type of iron, but was still far from success.
"It would be best if we could develop a new method for synthesizing iron, but I don't have any good ideas for that at the moment."
Xu You felt that since the new type of iron only existed on the moon, it must have been formed under very special conditions.
But this special condition does not exist on Earth.
After completing this stage of the experiment, the next work will be relatively easy.
While waiting for the processing of the new lunar rover parts, Xu You was also thinking from time to time about the reasons for the formation of the new type of iron.
"By the way, how about talking to my dad?"
Xu You suddenly remembered that Xu Zhou was an expert in metal materials.
Originally, Xu Zhou was on the candidate list for this research on lunar minerals.
It was only because of work that Xu Zhou regretfully missed this opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xu You called Xu Zhou.
"Xu You? Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"
In the past few years, Xu You has contacted Xu Zhou less and less frequently.
Because Xu You's growth rate was so fast, Xu Zhou knew that he and Xu You were no longer on the same level.
When Xu You first entered college, Xu Zhou was able to use his own qualifications to get Xu You to study in his laboratory.
Now, looking around the world, Xu You is one of the top scientists, and Xu Zhou can only look up to his son.
"Dad, how's work going lately? Is it still as busy as before?"
"I just finished the last project, and I've been feeling much better lately. Speaking of which, if the last project wasn't so important and I couldn't leave, I would definitely join you in the research of the lunar mineral project. This is such a good opportunity, and I don't know if there will be another one in this lifetime, alas."
Xu Zhou's words were full of regret, and it was obvious that he was indeed very sorry for missing out on this project.
It is precisely thanks to the many achievements that have emerged in recent years that Xu Zhou has gradually become one of the country's top materials experts.
Before, Xu Zhou would never have dared to imagine that he would have the opportunity to get involved in a project of this level.
"Since Dad has time now, I will help you make up for your previous regrets. Arrange your school work, I will wait for you at Jijing University."
Hearing Xu You's somewhat commanding words, Xu Zhou did not understand what Xu You meant for a moment.
"Why...Xu You, what do you mean?"
"Dad, the research of the project still needs your cooperation. If it's okay, please come over and help us with some research work."
With Xu You's current authority, he can directly recruit some outstanding scientific researchers.
After hearing what Xu You said, Xu Zhou finally understood what Xu You meant.
"Okay! Let me see if there are any tickets available today. If possible, I'll fly over right away!"
"There's no need to be so anxious. It doesn't matter if it's a few days late ." Xu You said with a smile.
"This is a study of lunar minerals. How can we not be anxious? Okay, I'll go and arrange the next work. I must see you in the next two days!"
Sure enough, two days later, Xu Zhou took a flight to Jijing, and under Xu You's arrangement, he took a bus to Jijing University.
Seeing Xu Zhou, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Xu You was a little dazed for a moment.
The last time I saw my father was more than a year ago.
In this way, the two Professors Xu came together again because of work.
