Chapter 347: The abnormal progress of science
Recently, various countries have discovered some strange things, no, it should not be said to be strange things.
It is a great breakthrough that has spread in the basic science community.
At first, a European laboratory that studies basic materials science made a huge breakthrough in experimenting with a new nanomaterial.
An ultralight, ultra-sturdy nano-covered coating material has been studied. This project has been underway for five years.
This incident even attracted the attention of Zodhes, after all, his main field is materials science, and he knows the difficulties and what it means to make progress in materials science.
Every step in materials science means that the 100-step ladder of science has begun.
The rest is to drive science to complete this hundred-step ladder by energy.
Britain, France and Germany have allocated more than $100 million to this laboratory, and the original plan for this project was to be done for ten years.
The first phase of the experimental stage should be about three years of process, the second phase will take the seventh year, and the third phase will be until the tenth year.
The third stage is to carry out laboratory-level small-scale production of coating materials, and then enter the next one is a decade of commercialization research for civil and military purposes.
The entire plan was planned for twenty years to industrialize.
But scientific research always has various unexpected events.
Even the world's best scientists dare not say when their research will definitely achieve results.
Unless the scientist has already known the final answer in advance, it is normal to delay the transformation.
This is exactly the case with this nanomaterial project, and the first phase of the research took four years to complete, far lower than the three-year plan formulated at the beginning.
The second phase was already stuck just after the beginning of the second phase. The budget departments of Britain, France and Germany were considering whether the research direction of this laboratory was wrong. Because the entire experiment was not progressing for a long time.
But starting from the beginning of this year, Professor Zofi, a scientist who directed the project, seemed to be like God's help. He could always get all kinds of inspiration inadvertently.
Whenever his experiment is stuck, he just goes out and walks around, and he can get various inspirational guidance to help him break through the dilemma.
In just half a year, the progress of the entire laboratory was progressing rapidly. The whole experiment was like a teacher deliberately leaking questions to students. The research on nanomaterials completed the entire process that was originally expected to take seven years in half a year.
Now it has begun to enter the stage of expanding industrialization. Professor Zophy caused a lot of sensation when the academic journal began to publish his experimental process and results in the past six months.
Because everyone thinks that this project will not achieve results in at least ten years.
After all, new nanocoated materials have made great progress.
An advance in basic science can often lead to a big step forward in applied science.
And if there is only one advance in nanomaterials science, it can be said that it is a huge explosion of inspiration from a talented scientist.
Although this is very legendary, it is also possible in human history.
However, the entire basic science circle has been moving forward at a rapid pace in the past six months.
If humans had just been exploring basic science before, they were just riding bicycles on a slow cycling river, the basic science progress of human beings in the past six months is like riding a 300-horsepower Kawasaki H2R supercharged motorcycle to participate in a straight-line acceleration race.
The finish line has reached the end in the blink of an eye, and you don’t even know how many times you have changed.
Basic science is making great strides, and everyone who cares about the scientific community knows it.
In the past six months, there have been more supplements published by authoritative scientific journals than in the previous decade.
Those articles with 2.0 �
Zodhes looked at "Nature" and "Science" as a magazine that is so professional that laymen cannot understand. Although a lot of knowledge on it is already very backward for him, he may have some inspiration that he has not discovered after reviewing the past and learning the new.
Tony also reads these magazines, but he often skips to read them.
His specialty is new energy and machinery, so he can read the materials science articles at most, and the others are just a simple look without paying attention to it.
But Dr. Banner is the one who really reads these articles carefully.
Dr. Banner is happy to discuss science matters with others, such as Zodheis, Dr. Richard, Tony Stark, etc., who are unavailable to ordinary people.
However, Dr. Banner always had a situation that he could not understand Dr. Richard at all. He felt that if he had discussed it in depth with Dr. Richard, he would have fallen into something terrifying, so the matter of deep friendship was put on hold.
In Zodheis, Tony Stark and his own three-person spider web discussion group, Dr. Banner sent a message.
"@Zodhes, @Iron Man, have you watched the latest issue of Science?"
Dr. Banner tagged the two.
"Look, Dr. Wang from China's article on quantum communication is impressive. His article has pushed the field of quantum communication for at least twenty years in one fell swoop. As long as industrialization can be achieved, the information and communication industry in the entire world will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future."
Zodhes's reply was very fast.
"I only looked at the chapter on nanomaterials, what's wrong?"
Tony Stark was half a beat slower.
"Don't you find it strange? There are too many influential articles in this category recently."
"What's strange?"
“Isn’t this a good thing for the scientific community?”
"It's a good thing, but it's too concentrated. Isn't it?"
Dr. Banner said to the two.
"In the usual way, there were only one or two articles a year, and at most three or five articles."
"But since the beginning of this year, and it has just passed half a year. Look at how many such articles have appeared. From materials science, to communications, to cytology, etc., all fields are making great strides. But the pace of progress is too big."
Dr. Banner touched his chin.
"We are so big that we cannot apply all these scientific advances in the short term. If we can freely put all these sciences, we should be able to enter the near-future scenes often depicted in Hollywood movies. And we generally believe that the near-future scenes will not appear after more than one hundred or two hundred years."
"What do you think this means, Stark?"
"What do you want to say?"
When Tony Stark saw Dr. Banner say this, he opened the Science he ordered and checked it out.
Chapter completed!
