carbon.
non-metallic elements.
The chemical symbol is C and it is located in group IVA, the second period of the periodic table of elements.
It is stable at room temperature, not easy to react, has extremely low toxicity to the human body, and can even be safely ingested in the form of graphite or activated carbon.
Carbon is one of the most common elements, widely present in the atmosphere and earth's crust in various forms, and is closely related to life on earth.
All life on earth can be called carbon-based organisms.
In the fields of chemistry and industry, carbon has many allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, graphene, fullerene, etc.
These allotropes are widely used in aviation, medical, petrochemical, national defense and other fields.
In addition, carbon element has a little-known characteristic. Its melting point is the highest among elements. The specific data is that the melting point is 3500 degrees Celsius and the boiling point is also as high as 4827 degrees Celsius.
Compare it and you will know how high the data is.
For example, the melting point of iron is 1538 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is 2750 degrees Celsius. Tungsten, the metal element with the highest melting point, is only 3410 degrees Celsius, and its boiling point is 5660 degrees Celsius.
Sulfur, which is also a non-metallic element, has a melting point of only 112.8 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 444.6 degrees Celsius. Silicon, the other most common stable element, has a melting point of 1410 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of 2355 degrees Celsius.
The element carbon is so important, so discovering its 'upgraded element' is naturally unusual.
This discovery must be of great significance.
Wang Hao finally understood why Zhou Qing and Wang Hui were so excited. He was silent for a long time and took a deep breath before asking, "How did you find out?"
Zhou Qing pointed to the data on the computer and said, "It's still lithium carbonate."
"In this experiment, we continued the magnetization data of first-order lithium compounds and found that compared with other lithium compounds, the magnetization data of lithium carbonate were lower."
"The data deviation was very small. We didn't pay attention to it at first and thought it was caused by errors."
"But I later discovered several species with anomalies in the low magnetization data. They have a common feature, which is that they contain carbon."
After Zhou Qing finished speaking, he stared at Wang Hao seriously, waiting for his judgment.
Wang Hui added, "The data deviation is not large and is still within the error range, but it is all on the low side, which is definitely worth noting."
"Professor Zhou and I discussed that there are three possibilities. One is that the carbon element has an upgrading phenomenon; the second is caused by normal errors or experimental operations and detection; and the other possibility is that the carbon element itself has a stronger annihilation force.
There is an unknown resistance to the squeezing effect of the field, or in other words, there is some unknown resistance to non-metallic elements."
Wang Hao nodded thoughtfully.
The third point mentioned by Wang Hui is that there may be other undiscovered phenomena, which also makes sense.
When the annihilation force field continues to strengthen, no one is sure what will happen, and it is normal that there are some undiscovered phenomena.
But in comparison, Wang Hao is more willing to believe that he has discovered the first-order carbon element.
At the same time, the conclusion of the discovery of the first-order carbon element itself also refuted some original speculations. For example, they always believed that the first to undergo upgrading phenomena were metallic elements.
This is because the magnetization reaction of metallic elements is very strong, while the magnetization reaction of non-metallic elements is relatively much weaker.
Just compare a piece of data and you will know.
Under the action of a strong annihilation force field, when the magnetization reaction intensity of iron elements reaches 10T, the maximum intensity of non-metallic compounds is less than 0.3T.
The huge difference in the magnetization reaction data, coupled with the fact that the first upgrading element discovered was iron, led them to subconsciously believe that it is easier for metal elements to undergo upgrading.
As for non-metallic elements…
It is uncertain whether the level-up phenomenon can occur, and it may never be discovered.
"That doesn't seem to be the case now."
Wang Hao exclaimed, "If the upgrading phenomenon of carbon element is verified, it will definitely be a remarkable discovery!"
Zhou Qing and Wang Hui nodded excitedly.
"We still need to continue the experiment. Only by truly extracting the first-order carbon can we confirm the new discovery." After Wang Hao made his decision, he immediately went to the annihilation force field experimental base and summoned Xiang Qiansheng, Tang Jianjun and others to work together. Prepare for a new experiment.
The Annihilation Force Field Experiment Base is still digesting the last experiment.
Many people were surprised that Wang Hao left and returned, but Wang Hao did not explain anything. He just asked the experimental team to check and debug the equipment and start the next experiment as soon as possible.
At the same time, he told Qiansheng to prepare some materials.
These include graphite, graphene, fullerene, coal, charcoal, and even a small bag of artificial diamond.
Synthetic diamond can be simply understood as diamond.
Diamonds are one of the most expensive jewelry.
In fact, only larger diamonds are expensive. Artificial diamonds can be considered ordinary materials, and their preciousness is far less than that of some precious metals.
After the meeting ended, Xiang Qiansheng and Tang Jianjun were discussing this issue.
Although Wang Hao did not explain the new experiment, the prepared materials explained everything. Xiang Qiansheng said straightforwardly, "It is likely that first-order carbon was discovered."
"I see it that way too."
The tone of the two people was very relaxed, but they were obviously very excited.
They all know what first-order carbon means. Whether from a scientific and technological perspective or from a research theoretical basis, first-order carbon is much more important than first-order lithium.
First-order lithium is most commonly used in lithium battery manufacturing.
The applications of first-order carbon may cover many important directions such as biomedicine, material manufacturing, aviation, petrochemical industry, national defense, etc.
Even, jewelry.
"In the future, we can use first-order carbon to make diamonds. They don't need to be too big, just over one carat. By then they will definitely be sold all over the world, and rich people will be interested."
Xiang Qiansheng said expectantly.
Tang Jianjun shook his head in thought and said, "The experimental results are not yet certain. From my experience, sudden discoveries like this are often just data anomalies."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...your experience?"
Xiang Qiansheng tugged at the corner of his mouth, not knowing what to say. He really didn't want to hit Tang Jianjun, but could Tang Jianjun's experience be used on Wang Hao?
"never mind."
"Let him feel it himself..."
In the end, he didn't say anything. After all, Tang Jianjun could be called an 'old academician', and it was always not a good idea to attack an old academician with words.
…
soon.
The next experiment begins.
The annihilation force field lasted for more than ten minutes, and the magnetized materials inside were sent to the material testing center in time for data analysis and subsequent research.
Of course, the most important thing is to separate the possible first-order carbon elements.
This is very difficult work.
The extraction of first-order lithium is relatively easy, because the melting point and boiling point of first-order lithium are very low. In a vacuum environment, pure first-order lithium can be obtained by simply using the principle of increasing the melting point and boiling point of elements.
First-order carbon is different.
The boiling point and melting point of carbon are too high. Because the element is unstable and can react chemically with various elements, the extraction work must also be carried out in a vacuum.
At the same time, very high temperatures must be created.
This is the difficulty.
The extraction method of first-order lithium cannot be used on first-order carbon at all. It is necessary to carefully study the reasonable extraction plan before trying to carry out the extraction work.
The materials testing center is really busy.
Now the scale of the materials testing center has been greatly expanded, with several more groups than before, and a total of dozens of researchers.
Wang Hui and Zhou Qing are the main persons in charge.
Other researchers include Tian Shimin, Wang Yongjun, Zang Wanli and others. They each lead their own teams and are responsible for the research of upgraded elements.
In the research direction of upgraded elements, work is relatively free, because first-order iron and first-order lithium are officially sold to the outside world, and many institutions are involved in research.
In this case, it is difficult to make any big discoveries.
In fact, most researchers still hope to be busier, which means they may make big discoveries.
