Chapter 787 This Can't Be Destroyed
Lin Shi looked at the carbon quantum tube sample in front of her. It was gray all over. If she only looked at its appearance, she might even mistake it for plastic.
Even if these samples were thrown outside, even the scrap collector wouldn't even take a second look at them.
"Yes, it is such an inconspicuous thing, and the material is very light, but it can be used as the material of the space elevator. Its cost is far beyond the reach of ordinary materials. Without us, it is something that cannot be produced no matter how much money we have."
At this time, money is no longer omnipotent. What is far more valuable than money are talents like Xu You, Lou Song, Xu Zhou and Lin Shi.
Throughout the entire process, the cost of manufacturing these carbon quantum tube materials cannot be measured in money. Even gold and diamonds, which are regarded as treasures by most people, are just a pile of priceless garbage compared to carbon quantum tubes.
Lin Shi picked up the carbon quantum tube sample, weighed it, and indeed felt that it was very light.
"It feels almost like plastic. I never thought such an inconspicuous thing could be so strong."
"Yes. Its strength is unmatched by any other material. When our space elevator is actually built, it will be almost impossible to destroy this material."
In addition to its high strength, which allows the carbon quantum tube to cope with strong centrifugal forces and gravity, the properties of the carbon quantum tube itself are also very stable, almost to a terrifying level.
It is difficult to destroy this carbon quantum tube structure by any conceivable physical or chemical method, unless one has the "quantum key" to destroy this structure.
"Lin Shi, our task today is to test the properties of this carbon quantum tube material. We can destroy it in any way we can think of. If you can successfully destroy it, it is your success. If you cannot destroy it in any way, then this structure is a success."
Xu You said this half-jokingly, because according to the design of Xu You and Xu Zhou, this material is indeed difficult to destroy.
This structure can only be destroyed through super quantum itself, using a program encoding that is impossible to decipher.
"Teacher, if you say that, I don't know whether I should destroy this material." Lin Shi said helplessly.
For Lin Shi, his own success is nothing; what is important is the success of the project.
"Haha, you don't have to think so much. Just try your best to think of ways to destroy it. If there really is a loophole that we haven't thought of yet, it's much better for us to find it now than for the enemy to find it later. Not just you, but all of us can think of ways to destroy it together."
Next, everyone proposed possible ways to destroy the new carbon nanotube material and conducted some experiments.
The first set of experiments tested the compressive resistance of carbon nanotubes by placing the carbon nanotube materials under a hydraulic press.
In this world, there are very few materials that can withstand the huge pressure of hydraulic presses, but the new carbon nanotube material, relying on its strong structure, is not destroyed at all by the pressure of the hydraulic press.
Subsequently, various physical and chemical reactions did not destroy the structure of the carbon nanotubes, which greatly proved the project team's prediction about this material.
After many days of testing, no method was found that could cause any damage to the carbon quantum tube material.
"We have tried all possible methods. With Blue Star's current capabilities, it is impossible to destroy this structure without the key."
After completing all the tests, Xu You announced the final conclusion in front of everyone.
"Of course, there is only one way, which is to use the quantum key to let the super quantum reverse the material manufacturing process, thereby dissolving it into ordinary carbon material. Just like this. "
As he spoke, Xu You clicked on a program on the computer.
The moment the program started, the carbon quantum tube material in front of him turned into a pile of powder at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This astonishing scene was so incredible that everyone present was stunned.
"What a magical scene. Such a horrible material can be easily destroyed through a procedure. This procedure must be well protected. If someone with bad intentions knows about it, the space elevator will be in great danger."
Xu Zhou expressed his concerns to everyone, and after hearing Xu Zhou's words, Xu You smiled and said:
"Please rest assured, only Lou Song and I can execute this order, and it is only used to eliminate these unused materials. When the space elevator is built, all the carbon quantum tube materials that make up the space elevator will be quantum key-locked and will never be destroyed."
Xu You knew that this material, which could not be destroyed in any way, was a very dangerous existence in nature.
After all, a material that can never be destroyed is far more terrifying than plastic.
However, since Xu You has decided to build a space elevator, this space elevator will definitely not be dismantled easily, so this process must be strictly protected.
After completing the testing of the new carbon quantum tube material, the project entered the next stage.
The next two main tasks are to design a space elevator and to study the mass production of carbon quantum tube materials.
In fact, Xu You already had ideas about the design of the space elevator.
The most important problem before was the lack of materials that met the requirements. After the manufacturing and testing of the materials were completed, the design of the space elevator was immediately put on the agenda.
This space elevator will not use any aerospace facilities such as rockets. People can go directly to the moon as long as they enter the elevator.
With the carrying capacity of the space elevator, each space elevator can carry tens of thousands of people to the moon every day. Its carrying capacity and carrying cost are much greater than those of ordinary aircraft.
Of course, the shortcoming is that the transportation speed of the space elevator is relatively slow, far less than the ultra-high speed of aerospace fighters, and is only suitable for the transportation of manpower or materials that do not require high time.
But no matter what, once the space elevator is officially built, transportation between the blue planet and the moon will become much more convenient than before.
In just a few days, Xu You completed the design of the space elevator and continued to polish the design drawings to make the entire design more refined.
Finally, Xu You himself was satisfied with the final design.
