Chapter 457 Breaking the mold

Xu You's sudden idea broke his usual fixed thinking.

The industry has always used ultrasonic technology to measure seabed depth.

The reason is that the frequency of ultrasonic waves is relatively high. When propagating in a directional manner, transmission, reflection and refraction phenomena similar to light can occur at the interface between two different media.

Therefore, ultrasonic waves are reflected when they hit hard objects on the seabed, and distance measurement can be performed.

However, in actual situations, due to the different properties of seabed materials, there will be more or less errors in measuring seabed depth using this method.

At the same time, this method can only measure depth and cannot measure more other data.

What Xu You suddenly thought of was to use electromagnetic waves instead of ultrasonic waves to conduct seabed surveys.

In fact, Xu You's ability to generate such inspiration has a lot to do with the incident of "Mr. SPY".

Although "Mr. SPY" put Xu You in danger, he also allowed Xu You to learn more about the secrets of electromagnetic waves.

The properties of many specific types and frequency bands of electromagnetic waves are not recorded in existing data and literature.

Using some special electromagnetic waves, it is not only possible to accurately measure distances, but also to directly analyze the specific geological structures of various places without digging.

"It's a pity that the quantum computer is no longer with me now, and I can't use its powerful computing power to help me with my calculations."

At this time, it would indeed be too much trouble to go back all the way just to use the calculation power.

Unfortunately for Xu You, current quantum computers are too large to be carried around.

Thinking of this, Xu You first estimated the approximate calculation amount of this mission in his mind.

"You only need to analyze the properties of electromagnetic waves in various frequency bands. There should be no need to use the computing power of a quantum computer."

Xu You decided to use his personal computer first to see if the computing power was sufficient.

If it's not enough, think of other ways.

"It's time for our Fulong Technology to develop in the direction of computers." Xu You thought.

The previous generation of Fulong mobile phones has become the mobile phone with the strongest comprehensive performance in the world. After the successful development of domestic EUV lithography machines, the chip problem has been solved to a large extent.

This is a good time to enter the computer industry.

However, before that, Xu You could only use the computer at hand.

Fortunately, after mastering the skill of "wireless brain computer", Xu You has changed to a more powerful personal computer.

As long as the calculation problem is not particularly complex, it should still be possible to solve it using this computer.

"Turn on the wireless brain-computer state!"

After connecting to this personal computer, Xu You also turned on the brain simulation state.

Compared with the powerful computational quantum computer, the computing power of ordinary personal computers is indeed much lower.

However, the calculation speed of computers is still much stronger than that of the human brain.

Soon, Xu You successfully simulated the properties of electromagnetic wave frequency bands one after another in his brain.

"Sure enough, it is actually feasible to use electromagnetic waves to measure the depth of the ocean!"

Normally, electromagnetic waves are not suitable for measuring the depth of the ocean.

Because compared to sound waves, when electromagnetic waves propagate in water, their energy attenuates very quickly.

The energy of the electromagnetic waves may be exhausted before reaching the deep sea, let alone propagating back again.

But after many simulations, Xu You found a special electromagnetic wave frequency band.

This kind of electromagnetic wave loses energy slowly in water, so there is no problem at all if you are not measuring particularly deep sea areas.

The depth of this measurement target, the Baodao Strait between Fujian Province and Baodao, is within 100 meters, which fully meets these conditions.

In addition, another advantage over ultrasonic waves is that these electromagnetic waves can detect geological types after adjusting the frequency band.

If the geological types are detected with high accuracy, it will not only save a lot of on-site marine survey work, but also ensure the safety of the cross-sea bridge to the greatest extent.

After all, the underwater geological conditions are complex and may change to a certain extent over time.

With a complete electromagnetic wave detection system, geological conditions can be detected in real time to prevent problems before they occur.

After completing the entire simulation process, Xu You produced the corresponding experimental equipment with the help of several engineers.

When Xu You wanted to test the effect of the equipment, Xu You met Tang Zhen from the project team.

Tang Zhen is a well-known bridge expert and exploration expert, and one of the core members of the project team.

After seeing Xu You, Tang Zhen also greeted him warmly.

"Professor Xu, where are you going? Why haven't I seen you these days? What are you doing?"

Tang Zhen respects Xu You very much, but Tang Zhen does not expect Xu You to really be of much help to this project.

After all, there are specialties in the academic field. It is difficult for a physics professor whose main research direction is condensed matter physics to make any contribution to architecture and exploration.

"Professor Tang, I have been studying a new detection equipment these days, and I am about to go to the actual test to see the effect."

After hearing Xu You's words, Tang Zhen suddenly became energetic.

"New detection equipment? Is Professor Xu going to help us conduct seafloor survey?"

"We can't talk about it yet, just a simple test first. If the effect is good, we can consider optimizing and promoting it later."

Tang Zhen knew that although Xu You was not engaged in relevant research, Xu You was not an idle person after all.

Since Xu You is determined to make some achievements in this field, Tang Zhen naturally believes in Xu You's ability.

"Professor Xu, can I go with you?"

"Of course, having experts like Professor Tang present will definitely help us more. Come on, let's go together."

With that said, Xu You, Tang Zhen and others came to the seaside of Fujian Province together.

This area is the closest direct distance to Baodao. If nothing unexpected happens, the future cross-sea bridge will be built here.

"Master, tie the device to the side of the boat and it can automatically measure."

In order to prove the accuracy of the measurement data, Xu You specially selected areas that had been measured by previous project teams.

As the ship travels back and forth on the sea, the seabed survey data for a small section of the sea is completed.

After bringing the device back, Xu You transferred the data to his computer and analyzed the data.

Tang Zhen was carefully checking the data on the computer, his brows slightly furrowed, and his mouth gradually opened wide unconsciously.
