Chapter 485 - Immeasurable Value!
Without a doubt, this was definitely a major discovery. Although this discovery couldn't compare to the landmark invention, but for Chinese materials, this discovery was far too important!
In one hand, Professor Yu held the test chart, while the other held the ball. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Perhaps an innovative technology would benefit the scientific community and even the entire world. However, such a small piece of alloy wouldn't necessarily appear, making it even more meaningful to China.
Because of these new technologies, sometimes China might not be able to use them. Perhaps, they might not be effective until a few years or even ten years later.
However, the appearance of this alloy meant that from now on, China would have a breakthrough in the field of materials. Many areas that originally could not be entered could now be entered.
To give a simple example, foreign bombers or strategic transport planes could cover the entire sky. However, the Chinese side did not even have a large plane of its own. Although there was a relations.h.i.+p between the adjustment of the country's strategic priorities, in the end, it was still because of the lack of technology that made it impossible to develop one.
The most important part of it was the materials!
For example, a fighter jet from China, the life expectancy of other engines couldn't even compare to half of a fighter jet from an advanced country.
The strength of the materials was not enough to make up a large part of the reason!
At the same time, the performance of an aircraft has a lot to do with the material used to make it!
Not only planes, wars.h.i.+ps, aeros.p.a.ce, rockets, and even s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps, the more advanced the technology was, the more strict the requirements were for materials.
This was only for the military. If it were to be extended to the civilian field, good materials would be necessary for any industry that was related to metals, or for any industry that had high requirements for the strength of materials.
If the material is not sufficient, it will become the biggest bottleneck that restricts its development.
For example, the excavators, bulldozers, and other construction machinery that were the most widely used had a huge demand in China. However, these domestic heavy construction machinery could not be compared with imported machinery.
Honestly speaking, in these areas, China's technology was not worse than those foreign companies. In some areas, the technology of some domestic heavy industry companies had already surpa.s.sed the foreign countries and stood at the top of the world cla.s.s. However, the quality of machinery was not as good as that of foreign companies, which could not be denied.
What's the use of having better technology?
Without the materials and all the technology, all the blueprints could only become a pile of sc.r.a.p paper.
Even if he was barely able to create it, the quality wouldn't pa.s.s. In the end, his reputation would only get worse and worse.
However, if this alloy was added in, what would happen?
Although Professor Yu had only briefly tested the physical properties of this alloy, there was no doubt that the hardness of the alloy was truly astounding. He had studied all the materials and machinery his whole life, but never had he seen such an outstanding alloy.
Perhaps the other aspects of this alloy that had not been tested would have such shortcomings. But no matter what they were, just the hardness and stability were enough to allow the field of machinery in China to experience a qualitative leap!
”The value of this new alloy is immeasurable!” Professor Yu's old face was full of excitement.
”Teacher, is this alloy really that valuable?” Hearing the professor praise this alloy so highly, the students were somewhat hesitant, ”The performance of this alloy has yet to be tested …”
”Yes, it hasn't been tested yet.”
Professor Yu nodded and said, ”My evaluation is also for now. If we wait until all the other properties and indicators of this alloy have been tested, I might say that the importance of this alloy for Huaxia Industry cannot be overestimated!”
Pausing for a moment, Professor Yu said, ”In other words, ever since China's birth of industry, other than computers and standardized production lines, the appearance of this alloy is the greatest!”
A few students could not help but be stunned. They really did not expect that their teacher would give such a high evaluation of this alloy!
Professor Yu's gaze never left the small alloyed ball, never leaving it. However, he understood the student's reaction very well.
”Humph!” It was fortunate that all of you followed me for more than two years. You're about to become a doctor, and you're only short-sighted. How could you even forget about basic knowledge? ” Professor Yu reprimanded.
”...”
The few students looked at each other in dismay, not knowing why the teacher suddenly started criticizing them.
Professor Yu said, ”Have you forgotten the characteristics of the alloy? With such extraordinary hardness and light stability, what does this mean? ”
Several students couldn't help but be startled, but soon after, they all revealed expressions of understanding.
”Teacher, this means that if this alloy is used to manufacture equipment, its electrical and thermal conductivity should be very low. The equipment will not only improve the service life and quality, but also increase the safety factor greatly.” A student said.
”That's right.”
The other students nodded in agreement. This was in accordance with the alloy principle.
