Chapter 781 Physics No Longer Exists
Upon hearing the news that Xu You had returned to Jijing, Xu Zhou immediately replied:
"Okay, I happen to have some free time recently, so I will prepare to buy a plane ticket to Jijing."
"I'll contact Teacher Cui directly and ask her to help you solve these problems."
As Xu You's assistant for many years, Cui Ying can be said to have completed her job perfectly . Xu You was very relieved to hand over these things to Cui Ying.
"Don't bother Mr. Cui. It's just a matter of buying a ticket and taking a flight. I can handle it myself."
"If it's an ordinary matter, I definitely won't bother her, but we can discuss important matters, and efficiency is very important. No need to say more, I'll arrange it in a moment."
Xu Zhou finally agreed to Xu You's suggestion and let Cui Ying arrange these matters.
After explaining things to Cui Ying, Xu You no longer worried about the matter and continued with his other work.
Cui Ying helped Xu Zhou complete all the procedures very efficiently. In just half a day, Xu Zhou appeared in Xu You's office.
"I have to say, Teacher Cui is really efficient. If I were to do it myself, I might not be able to see you until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Of course. Not everyone can be my assistant. Of course, if you want, I can actually see you within an hour." Xu You said with a smile.
If he could use aerospace fighters, Xu You could even reach any location on the blue planet within an hour .
After exchanging pleasantries with Xu Zhou, Xu You asked about the materials for the space elevator.
"Dad, do you have any new ideas about the materials of the space elevator these days?"
Hearing Xu You's words, Xu Zhou couldn't help but laugh mysteriously.
It can be seen that Xu Zhou has indeed made some progress in his research on this issue.
"Xu You, come on, I do have some new ideas. Although they may be difficult to realize in practice, at least in theory they are possible."
"Well, that's great. Don't worry about the production and application issues for now. We can just solve them step by step."
Xu You was also very much looking forward to Xu Zhou's new progress, and hurriedly urged Xu Zhou to continue.
Then, Xu Zhou turned on the computer and showed his design drawings to Xu You.
"Look, this is my structural design for the new type of carbon nanotube. To be more precise, this is no longer a 'carbon nanotube', but a 'carbon quantum tube'."
Xu You looked at the files in Xu Zhou's computer carefully, his brows furrowed and his expression very serious.
From the perspective of the scale of elementary particles, Xu Zhou's design this time is indeed very bold.
The diameter of traditional carbon nanotubes is mostly between 2 nanometers and 100 nanometers. Of course, some carbon nanotubes with particularly high precision can have a precision as low as 0.1 nanometer.
However, the new carbon tube designed by Xu Zhou directly and fundamentally abandoned the original structure and adopted a new, more microscopic structure.
In this new structure, carbon tubes not only do not increase their own density, but also greatly improve their strength.
"According to my calculations, if this new structure can really be manufactured, it will be enough to ensure stability within a length of 400,000 kilometers . Of course, this is just my preliminary design. I haven't had time to think about other problems yet..."
Xu Zhou continued to introduce his design ideas, but what Xu Zhou didn't know was that Xu You had already comprehended Xu Zhou's entire design ideas with his strong comprehension ability.
"Dad, you really are a materials genius! Your design is enough to lay the foundation for a space elevator!"
Xu Zhou was a little frightened by Xu You's sudden praise. After a few seconds, he said in surprise:
"Xu You, is my design really that amazing? This is not like you normally are."
As Xu You's father, Xu Zhou knew that Xu You had rarely had such strong emotional fluctuations. Not to mention that Xu You was already one of the world's leading scientists. There was almost nothing that could shock Xu You.
Xu Zhou only felt that his design plan was very innovative. As for other issues, Xu Zhou had not had time to think about them in detail.
"Yes, you have to believe that your design is so outstanding! And I have the confidence to make this design a reality!"
"No way? You've figured out how to make this material so quickly? But its structure doesn't conform to some of our basic theories."
As an expert in materials science, Xu Zhou knew that his design was more at the conceptual stage, and he hadn't even figured out how to conduct the experiment. Yet Xu You said that he had the confidence to make it.
But since this person is Xu You, Xu Zhou would not think that Xu You is bragging.
"Of course, from today's perspective, it does not conform to many basic theories. However, basic theories are constantly changing. For example, in recent years, how many breakthroughs have we made in basic theories? Haven't those basic theories that were previously considered iron laws been overturned one by one?"
What Xu You said is not false. The various research results in the academic field in recent years have already allowed scientists to greatly refresh their understanding of science.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the original physics no longer exists.
In fact, this kind of thing has always happened in history, just like Newton's laws of mechanics, which are not applicable in many cases.
"Well, that's true. But Xu You, what do you think about making this substance?"
"Dad, do you know super quantum?"
When mentioning super quantum, Xu Zhou's eyes changed.
Xu Zhou had naturally paid attention to this magical particle that was only discovered in recent years , but he didn't know much about it.
After all, this field is too cutting-edge, and there are too few scientists who can truly participate in internal research.
"Knowing something, how, do you think you can use super quantum to help make this material?"
"Yes, this is a direction that can be focused on. The main field of action of super quantum is on the quantum scale, and the material we designed is also a material on the quantum scale. As long as we can control the super quantum complete the work we need, this material is likely to be designed."
Xu You continued to tell Xu Zhou about the abilities and properties of super quantum, but because Xu Zhou knew so little about this field, he was confused by many things.
