Chapter 552 I suggest using inflatable ones

After Schultz took a sip of hot tea, he said seriously:

"Professor Xu You, we discovered a new type of iron in the lunar soil samples you donated. This iron is different from all the iron known on the earth and has a completely new structure. According to our predictions

, this kind of iron has very powerful properties and has great potential application value in many fields."

After hearing Schultz's words, Xu You and Lin Shi both felt some unspeakable feelings in their hearts.

Due to confidentiality reasons, Xu You has not yet explained the discovery of a new type of iron on the moon to scientists from other countries.

However, what I didn't expect was that this new type of iron could also be found in lunar soil samples donated to other countries.

Xu You thought quickly and then said:

"To be honest, we also found this special substance in lunar soil samples. Because the value of the new iron is still being evaluated, it has not been announced to the public. I don't know if there are others besides your laboratory.

Does anyone know the news?"

Xu You knew that since Schultz was able to analyze this substance in the lunar soil samples we provided, there is no reason why we can't analyze it.

At this moment, there is no need to pretend to be stupid in front of Schulz.

Schultz immediately understood what Xu You meant and continued:

"Currently, only our laboratory and a few scientific research institutions in our country know the news. This is a sample provided to us by your country. We will definitely confirm it with you before publishing the results."

"Well, thank you Mr. Schultz for your understanding."

Xu You didn't care about the honor issue in the distribution of results. He was just worried that this discovery would cause overreaction by some countries or individuals, which would in turn bring about some negative impacts.

After all, new iron is not like other substances, but it has very important application value.

However, Xu You was very surprised how Schulz discovered the existence of this substance.

Because this kind of iron exists in ores, as long as it is refined, it is no different from normal iron elements.

Normally through a microscope, it is difficult to see the special features of this iron.

"Mr. Schulz, how did you discover this new type of iron?"

Schultz understood Xu You's curiosity and quickly explained:

"Speaking of it, this also came from an accident. I found that this kind of iron releases more heat than ordinary iron during chemical reactions. Because of this, I guessed that there might be something special here, and I discovered it.

The existence of new types of iron..."

After listening to Schultz's story, Xu You felt a little relieved.

Because there are indeed some accidents here, Xu You believes that it would be difficult for scientists from other countries to discover the same information.

However, Schultz's own abilities and experience did play a big role in it.

After talking about the analysis of lunar soil samples, Schultz shifted the topic to the lunar scientific research base.

"Professor Xu You, you don't know something. In addition to materials science, I am also a design enthusiast. I have some design ideas of my own for the future lunar base."

With that said, Schultz turned on his computer and showed his design of the lunar base to Xu You and Lin Shi.

After seeing Schulz's design drawings, Xu You and Lin Shi were filled with admiration.

"It's really a design full of science fiction! Not only is it a scientific research base, but a city on the moon has also been designed."

Although Schulz's design looks fanciful, it does not rely entirely on imagination. There is also a lot of scientific basis in it.

Schultz's design of the lunar base can be said to be very hard-core, and many places may be realized in the future.

"My idea is to design a multi-functional lunar lander so that the lander can also function as a lunar housing. In the plan to build a lunar base, I suggest using more inflatable space capsules, which can greatly save every day.

The payload mass of the second rocket launch..."

From the perspective of saving transportation mass, Xu You and Schultz have different plans, but the ultimate goal of these plans is the same.

Schultz's proposals undoubtedly gave Xu You a lot of inspiration, and these plans are not completely inconsistent with Xu You's plans.

"Thank you Mr. Schultz for your advice. This conversation with you is really fruitful." Xu You said excitedly.

The gains in materials science were something Xu You could have expected.

The gains gained from the idea of ​​a lunar base are unexpected gains.

"Professor Xu You, I think the same thing. I really hope we can always have regular academic exchanges like this!"

…………

After the week-long academic exchange event, our status in the world's academic community has been further enhanced, and is no less than Sam's status.

The improvement of our academic status has also allowed us to obtain more cooperation in scientific and technological projects.

Taking this opportunity, we put forward the requirement to pay project funds in Chinese currency, and received support from many countries.

Using Chinese currency to pay may not have such a big impact on other countries, but it will greatly enhance the international status of Chinese currency.

The improvement of the status of the Chinese currency has the greatest impact on the rice dollar.

The hegemony of the US dollar finally began to be weakened.

Xu You believes that maybe in a few years, the Chinese dollar will replace the rice dollar and become the most influential currency in the world.

After this academic conference ended, Xu You and others temporarily returned to Jijing University.

"Teacher, are you still studying the moon base designed by Mr. Schultz?"

Seeing that Xu You was fascinated by Schulz's design, Lin Shi couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I didn't expect Mr. Schulz to have such unique insights in design. As you heard, Mr. Schulz is willing for us to use his design for free."

"For Mr. Schulz, this is just his hobby. But teacher, can his design really be used directly?"

"It's definitely not possible to use it directly. There are many places in it that haven't been rigorously calculated. But I can guarantee that many of the ideas in this design are applicable."

Compared with the designs of lunar bases by some science fiction writers, Schulz's design is undoubtedly more hard-core.

After all, this is a real Nobel Prize winner in physics, and Schulz's professional ability is beyond doubt.

For example, although the inflatable cabin plan will not become a regular plan for future lunar bases, at least in the early stages of lunar base construction, it can completely become the housing for the first batch of moon landings.

At this moment, Cui Ying suddenly walked in.
