Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 185: The Gizmos That Laid the Groundwork for Nanotechnology

Lin Youqian has been very busy recently.

Too busy to care about his selfishness.

He is now responsible for the three most important projects of the country: missiles, satellites and launch vehicles.

Although the spirit is particularly outstanding, it looks as thin as skinny bones.

Those experiments in alchemical black magic had stalled for several years.

He subjectively thought that because he had been the one who had pushed him all along, so he stopped, and so did the little brother Wei Pingan.

In fact, Wei Ping'an has already realized the manufacturing process of the Philosopher's Stone.

Although there is still no clue about its characteristics, the production rate has reached an astonishing 46.2%
That means for every 10 manufactures, there will be 4 successes.

But this Wei Pingan didn't intend to tell Lin Youqian.

Some detached knowledge and skills, once published, may not necessarily bring luck, but may also become disaster.

Mrs. Lin is selfless, and Wei Pingan feels that there is no way to tell him the truth about this matter.

White lie.

Even if there is no time, Lin Youqian will find Wei Ping'an as soon as possible whenever he encounters technical problems.

In his opinion, Wei Ping'an is not only a like-minded black magic enthusiast, but also a proper master of the country.

Old Yu devoted himself to the missile industry and devoted himself to the research and upgrade of cannon battles. He was very pleased.

But Wei Ping'an's behavior of "not doing his job properly" made him very sad.

All day long, he led the 026 logistics team formed by a group of his students to study strange things.

In Mr. Lin's view, these are not the most important things at the moment, and they can be postponed.

It's just that all kinds of reassurance have failed, and I can only ask for advice when I encounter problems.

Enterprises can brainstorm and solve problems faced by their teams.

"I applied for the establishment of the general design department before, and I have been authorized. The backbone force is composed of technicians from the Academy of Sciences and the Seventh Department of Machinery. I will bring up the old story again. I leave this leading position to you."

After Mr. Lin finished speaking, he added: "I don't worry about anyone else except you."

"Mr. Lin, don't embarrass me. I think it's good to maintain the current state. I will try my best to solve the problems. There is no need to carry such a title. If there is too much pressure, I will not do things. .”

"I know what you said. I've only heard such perfunctory excuses from your mouth. The greater the pressure, the more you can release your potential. How can a little bit of pressure crush you?"

"Old Lin, old brother, I still have to support my family. The whole family is counting on me to support them. If I go to your place, there will be no day and no night. What will I do if my backyard catches fire?"

"You, you..."

Mr. Lin sighed angrily: "How come you are such a weirdo? If you devote all your energy and spirit to the development of science and technology, I believe you must be the leader of the whole country, and even the world. The brightest star of this generation."

"Compared to a warrior with a submachine gun, I am more suitable to be a sniper, aiming at the core issues thousands of miles away."

"Alas... dead wood!"

Mr. Lin shook his head: "What research has your group done recently?"

"In 59, a professor of physics at California Institute of Technology gave a speech called "There is still a lot of room at the bottom", do you know?"

"I have the impression that it seems to be Richard Feynman. I have learned about the content of this speech. It is about a hypothesis of using atoms to build various objects one by one..."

Wei Pingan nodded: "Last year, Norio Taniguchi also used the word nano in the field of precision instrument processing."

"and then?"

"Then, I fiddled with a little gadget."

Lin Youqian jumped up from the sofa.

The "gadgets" created by Wei Ping'an often mean the concept of magnifying satellites.

He has experienced it many times in the past few years.

Sitting in Wei Pingan's jeep, he drove all the way to the outskirts of the 026 warehouse.

Here, together with the five or six hills behind, are now designated as military jurisdictions.

The outer area of ​​less than 3000 square meters is a relatively ordinary armament warehouse, and higher-end equipment and materials are all in the valley.

The scientific research projects and scientific research results of the logistics team are all piled up in the hollowed out mountains.

Wei Ping'an is very experienced in underground operations.

At the beginning, I wrote a script of "Tunnel Warfare" and made it into a movie.

On a table in a laboratory, Lin Youqian saw iron bumpy instruments piled up on the table.

"...it has a higher resolution than the atomic force microscope, and can observe the arrangement state of individual atoms on the surface of the material in real time and the physical and chemical properties related to the electronic behavior of the surface... At low temperatures, the tip of the probe can be used to precisely manipulate atoms, which can be applied to finished products in fields such as surface science, material science and life science..."

Wei Pingan explained the function and application significance of the scanning tunneling microscope to Lin Youqian with some pride.

"The macroscopic structure of the tunnel tip should allow the tip to have a high bending resonance frequency, thereby reducing the phase lag? What materials do you use?"

Lin Youqian is no ordinary person, and the questions he asked hit the nail on the head.

"We are using tungsten wire now, because the higher the chemical purity of the needle tip, the series of potential barriers will not be involved, so the electrochemical corrosion method is used to prepare the tungsten needle tip..."

"oh, I see."

Lin Youqian was thoughtful.

"Recently, the team is studying the use of platinum-iridium alloy wire as the main material for the needle tip. According to the set inference, the platinum-iridium alloy needle tip can be directly cut into shape with mechanical scissors."

"No matter which method is used, it is impossible to avoid covering the needle tip with a layer of oxide..."

"Therefore, before each experiment, the needle tip must be treated to ensure that the needle tip has good conductivity..."

"What about the controller?"

"Using piezoelectric ceramics, a tripod type and a single-tube type have been developed, and we are experimenting with a [-]D scanning controller with a cross and a single-tube type..."

The two asked and answered, and the afternoon passed.

Since then, Lin Youqian has also made up his mind and no longer proposes to transfer Wei Pingan to the research institute to be the leader of the overall design institute.

Because today's new product, which is already very complete, gave him quite a shock.

His surprise was a hundred times, a thousand times, even countless times greater than what he showed.

The invention of the scanning tunneling microscope has put scientists at a loss.

Since then, scientists have not only been able to actually see atoms, play with them, and even manipulate individual atoms.

Suddenly, physicists had astonishing "pictures" of individual atoms arranged as they appear in chemistry books, a situation once considered impossible by critics of atomic theory.

Lin Youqian believes that once this invention is announced, it will definitely shock the whole world and cause a sensation in the entire scientific circle.

The difference between a craftsman and a master lies in imagination and the creativity that brings imagination to reality.

Wei Pingan possesses these, and Lin Youqian felt that he could not kill Wei Pingan's "spirituality" in the field of science for his own selfishness.

Moreover, didn't Wei Ping'an also provide several feasible ideas for his team's research bottleneck?

Thinking of Wei Ping'an's understatement of 7 different directions and ideas, Lin Youqian felt a little toothache in the back.

This kind of scientific research personnel with comprehensive and solid analytical ability and knowledge cannot be used by me, which is really uncomfortable.

Mr. Lin was always picked up by a car.

Because of this invention, Mr. Lin was absent from the meeting arranged by Mr. Lin, and the people who couldn't wait to make a decision could only search for it while inquiring.

It just so happened that Wei Ping'an could also take the opportunity to skip the job of sending Mr. Lin back to the city, and stay in 026 to have a meal with Ai Muzhen.

Now Ai Muzhen almost lives in the dormitory of 026. Brother and sister Ai Yong and Wei Qiqi are still three or four-year-old kids. Ai Yong and his younger sister wander around the valley residential area every day, and they are almost becoming celebrities. .

Well, because there is no one to take care of the child, Ai Mulin's wish for many years has finally come true.

Now Hong Niu is the prettiest girl in this area, taking care of this lively pair of siblings every day.

"Why are you a busy person willing to stay for dinner?"

"Look at what you said, I'm not happy yet, I miss you three, I came here to accompany you."

"cut."

"I'll borrow it from you tonight, you let Xiaoyong and Qiqi go to sleep with Miao Hong..."

Between Wei Pingan and Ai Mulin, the word "borrow" is the most interesting.

Ai Mulin didn't say a word, got up and went out the door.

Wei Pingan summoned Hong Niu, followed by two little kids.

Ai Yong has a thick head and a thick head. She doesn't look like a four-year-old at all. She looks more like a six- or seven-year-old. The little girl totters and walks, but she can't run. Her running is actually hopping on one foot. The calves are tight and tossing, but he can keep up with his brother, but in Wei Pingan's eyes, he is extremely cute.

Wei Qiqi is just under 3 years old, let alone go out to run in another family, even if the child stays at home alone, she will not feel at ease.

But Wei Ping'an and Ai Mu are not afraid, they are more at ease with the presence of Hong Niu than an adult.

As soon as Hong Niu saw Wei Pingan, she rushed over, put two dog paws on Wei Pingan's shoulders, and licked it with her tongue.

Counting with my fingers, Hong Niu has been the spirit dog of Wei Ping'an's system for about 18 years. At that time, she had two puppies, and she still looks like a mature man, showing no signs of aging at all.

This is definitely far beyond the lifespan of an ordinary dog.

But Ai Muzhen didn't ask, and Wei Pingan didn't say anything, and now that Hong Niu has changed her environment, no one knows Hong Niu's exact age except for the three previous apprentices.

Anyang is in Shanghai and is also the father of two children.

Ding Lijun and Zhang Baoqiang also became Wei Pingan's right-hand men.

It's just that their field is still in steel smelting.

Now Ding Lijun is in charge of the southern market, and he often goes to Wuhan and Guangzhou. Zhang Baoqiang is in charge of the north, and he is permanently stationed in Liaoning, the dark land where the new country's military industry is the most dense.

The reason why they don't sit in the capital is that they are considerate of Master, and have entrusted the task of sitting in the capital to Chen Bing, the former junior junior sister, and now the junior junior wife...

After all, Wei Jinning is 5 years old, and Wei Shishi is also a little girl of four and a half years old.

When Ai Mulin came back, he took a meal from the cafeteria.

"Because of your honor today, Lao Liu went to the city in the morning and bought a bunch of delicious food secretly. Hearing that you came, he insisted on asking me to bring it to you, so I cut a small piece of it. piece."

Lao Liu was originally the cook of the Qianmen State-owned Canteen. Because his ancestors were not very good, he had a bad time for a while.

Xu Huizhen went to Chen Xueru and asked her man to help her think about it.

What can Wei Pingan do to transfer people to the 026 warehouse under his jurisdiction to continue working as cooks.

It was easy for him.

Lao Liu came, dragging his family with him.

I don't want the yard passed down from my ancestors anymore. I originally asked my neighbor Niu Ye to find an owner, but unfortunately the price was too low at that time.

After Wei Pingan heard the news, he persuaded Lao Liu to keep it, after all, it was passed down from his ancestors.

But Lao Liu really didn't want to stay in the city anymore. If Wei Ping'an hadn't helped his family, he would have wished to escape from the capital and go to the south.

So Wei Pingan bought it at the original price at that time.

As soon as Lao Liu disagreed with life and death, he planned to give it to Wei Ping'an.

Wei Pingan didn't want it, he gave up on the surface, and later asked someone else to come forward to find Master Niu.

Old Liu saw that Wei Ping'an had no intention of buying a house, so he reluctantly quoted the price.

It is still much lower than Wei Pingan's offer.

Wei Ping'an got a good deal, and by the way, he will be a good person to the end.

Lao Liu's son is now a soldier, and his wife has also become a kitchen helper in the cafeteria.

The couple accidentally became double-employees.

The old Liu and his wife were not guilty, and they regarded Wei Ping'an as their savior ever since. Although Ai Muzhen was not Wei Ping's wife, but the child's surname was Wei, and he was also called Wei Ping'an's father. This was no secret in 026.

Usually, I am very polite to Aitouer and the two children, and I am grateful to this family from the bottom of my heart, and I never stop walking around during the New Year and holidays.

Hearing that Wei Ping'an came over again, there was no reason not to express it.

"This old Liu..."

Old Liu likes to have a bite. Occasionally, when he goes shopping in the city, he will always bring some delicious food, and he will eat it himself, and he will definitely save it for the two children of the Wei family who are strolling.

So Ai Yong and Wei Qiqi are regular customers in the back kitchen of the cafeteria. Uncle Liu is a thief.

Wei Pingan moved around and sat down at the dining table.

"Hey, it's still old Liu who can eat, the sauced beef from Yueshengzhai, and the pork elbow from Tianfu."

Just as he was talking, Ai Mulin handed over a small flagon warmed in an enamel jar.

Wei Pingan sniffed his nose and smelled something different.

When I probed it, I saw a lot of orange-red dots floating in the half-jin small flagon.

"Aitouer, the more you drink the wine with goji berry, the better it will be. Is that the reason?"

"Hmph, you don't know what to do. You are almost forty, and you still think you are in your twenties. There is too much arable land, and the scalpers are getting old. You don't care about it. I don't care. I have to help you plan for a rainy day."

"Don't worry, let alone borrowing you for one night, even if you borrow ten nights, it's not a problem. You're still in good health."

"Master, I want to ask you something."

Ai Muzhen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Did you already know what was in the Siguniang Mountain mission?"

The design of the first generation of mechs can actually find some things that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and Ai Muzhen is very clear about An Zhiyong's situation, and his strange brother-in-law is not tired with so many women. A slight improvement, the key is that it doesn't look old at all.

Even myself has maintained the peak state of physical function.

It stands to reason that when a person is over forty, no matter how much his body is exercised, it will begin to decline from its peak.

After following Wei Ping'an, Ai Muzhen found that not only his age was 'frozen', but also his physical function seemed to be 'frozen'.
