Chapter 820 It hurts, Lao Lu

Amid the piercing alarm, the atmosphere in the laboratory fell to the bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the project leader, Ding Chengwang, standing in front of the main console, also sighed subconsciously.

"Failed again..."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and his originally upright back was visibly bent a little.

Unlike ordinary experiments, the production experiment of strong interaction materials requires a lot of resources every time.

Although it is nothing for the huge Human Union, for other laboratories in the Materials Research Center, Ding Chengwang's 149 experiments consumed most of the resource quota of the Materials Research Center.

If it succeeded, it would be fine.

But unfortunately, the experiment could only produce a small piece of debris one micron square.

Since strong interaction materials are a key support project of the Academy of Sciences, other researchers in the Materials Research Center did not express any opinions, but Ding Chengwang knew that it involved their own research resources, no matter who it was, there would definitely be some complaints in their hearts.

Therefore, facing the failure of the 149th experiment, Ding Chengwang's anxiety gradually became stronger.

At this time, Lv Yongchang, who had been acting as an invisible man beside him, seemed to have figured something out, and his frown quickly relaxed.

He took a big step forward, and before Ding Chengwang could react, he pulled the holographic image in front of Ding Chengwang and circled several experimental data and steps on it.

"There are problems in these places."

"You didn't consider the influence of the grand unified field on the surrounding space-time."

"This is also the reason why the critical size of the strong interaction material is one micron."

"Lv... Professor Lu?!" Ding Chengwang suddenly widened his eyes and subconsciously exclaimed, "When did you come?"

Lv Yongchang did not respond to Ding Chengwang's question. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and his expression became more serious: "Did you hear what I just said clearly?"

Seeing Lv Yongchang's serious expression, Ding Chengwang quickly retracted his messy thoughts and focused all his attention on the holographic projection in front of him.

"But..." Ding Chengwang looked at the circled data and steps, and said with a puzzled look on his face, "We have already taken this part of the space-time distortion effect into consideration before the experiment."

"The data you circled is already corrected."

Lv Yongchang shook his head slowly: "No."

"This thing is not applicable to the original space-time theory. It is related to the latest space-time theory. It is normal that you don't know it."

"It involves higher-dimensional space. Even in the Space-Time Theory Research Center, few people can explain it thoroughly."

Lv Yongchang smiled at Ding Chengwang apologetically: "Speaking of which, this is my problem."

"I haven't paid attention to the research progress of strong interaction materials. I didn't expect you to be stuck by this thing."

As he said, he turned his head again, raised his hand and wrote down lines of formulas very casually on the holographic projection.

Ding Chengwang didn't speak, or rather, he didn't have the energy to speak at all.

He stared as wide as possible and mobilized his brain with all his strength, trying to keep up with Lv Yongchang's blackboard ideas.

As an older generation of scientific researchers in the Academy of Sciences, it is basic literacy to understand Lv Yongchang's sloppy handwriting.

But keeping up with Lv Yongchang's handwriting and thinking is not basic literacy.

To date, there are probably less than two-digit academicians in the entire Academy of Sciences who can smoothly follow Lv Yongchang's deduction ideas.

Ding Chengwang is naturally not one of them.

Sweat beads slightly seeped out of his forehead, and the anxiety in his eyes gradually became stronger.

Even if he failed 149 experiments in a row, he didn't feel such great pressure!

As a Class I academician of the Human Union Academy of Sciences, he realized his stupidity for the first time.

Lv Yongchang's eyes swept over Ding Chengwang's anxious posture, and his hands paused slightly, then slowed down the speed of deduction again, showing many processes that he thought were easily provable.

This time, the confusion on Ding Chengwang's face was visibly reduced, and his anxiety was also greatly relieved.

...

After an unknown period of time, Lv Yongchang finally stopped writing.

He gently rubbed his wrist, looking at the more than ten small holographic projections in front of him, his face full of emotion.

In normal times, he might be able to deduce the final result with only one holographic projection.

I didn't expect that there would be so many detailed deduction processes.

"Do you understand?"

Lv Yongchang asked gently while rubbing his wrist.

Ding Chengwang didn't reply, still staring at the holographic projection in front of him.

After a delay of a few seconds, he suddenly realized, turned his head to look at Lv Yongchang and nodded repeatedly: "I understand it in general!"

"This deduction process... I want to save it for further research, you see..."

Lv Yongchang waved his hand casually: "Just take it, it's not a big deal."

Ding Chengwang's expression suddenly choked.

It hurts, Lao Lu.

"Professor, you came this time..."

In order to prevent further stimulation, Ding Chengwang quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, the plan to manufacture a star-class starship has been put on the agenda." Lv Yongchang pointed to the huge holographic projection with a smile. In the picture, the scientific research robot was repairing and cleaning the experimental area. "I originally wanted to add a layer of dense neutron armor to the surface of the star-class starship."

"Now it seems..."

"It seems a bit difficult."

Hearing Lv Yongchang's sigh, Ding Chengwang's eyes twitched slightly.

It hurts, Old Lv!

"Professor, I will improve the experimental steps as soon as possible and start the next time..."

He said hurriedly.

"No, no, no." Lv Yongchang smiled faintly, "It's not that easy."

"If I'm not wrong, even if the problem of space-time disturbance is solved, the size limit of a single dense neutron material will not exceed ten centimeters square at most."

"This is related to the strength of the grand unified field, which is a question of hard power."

"It can be used for simple applications, but if you want to spread it on a huge starship..."

"Let's not talk about the problem of resource consumption, the amount of work alone is enough to make people drink a pot."

Ding Chengwang stared at Lv Yongchang in a daze, his eyes a little confused: "Then the new material of the starship..."

"Let's compromise."

Lv Yongchang took a long breath and said the thought that had just been circling in his mind: "Armor made of dense neutrons is still too luxurious for a level 6 civilization."

"Change it to dense atoms."

"Using dense atomic layers to build the outer armor of a starship should be a good solution."
