How could the materials issue be addressed?
After leaving the experimental building, Tang Rui had been grappling with this problem, finding it quite perplexing.
The issue of materials was like a towering mountain in front of him.
The system was capable of enhancing materials.
But if these materials couldn’t be mass-produced and solely relied on his system for enhancement, then no amount of origin points would be sufficient. Hence, a breakthrough in materials science was imperative.
But how?
Without the scientific theories from the system, what basis was there for a breakthrough?
The idea of finding a few extraordinarily lucky researchers was laughable.
One might discover a revolutionary material, but in the grand scheme of materials science, a single powerful material is of little use.
Tang Rui was frustrated.
He asked Red Lotus to prepare a fishing rod; he decided to go fishing at the reservoir.
“President Tang, you seem a bit down?” Lin Chao asked, puzzled when he found Tang Rui.
“Yes, I’m pondering over a research problem,” Tang Rui nodded.
He didn’t go into details with Lin Chao since Lin Chao couldn’t help with this issue, so discussing it seemed pointless.
I can t assist with research, but I do have some good news for you.”
“Good news? Several pieces?”
“Yes.”
Lin Chao nodded and started explaining in detail.
The first piece was regarding a military procurement order.
The buyers were several African countries like Tanzania, Egypt, and Nigeria, countries with good relations with them.
However, these countries were relatively poor, unlike the wealthy Middle East, so they proposed paying with half cash and half mineral resources for the arms.
Tang Rui wasn’t overly excited after hearing this.
He wasn’t lacking money at the moment.
Regarding mining?
That would be extremely profitable for him.
With the neutrino information capture radar, identifying underground mineral veins was effortless; he could locate them with a scan.
The second piece of good news was that the sand suction ships would be fully remodeled in half a month.
As for the underwater construction submarines, they had already been remodeled and were currently being tested.
“They’re already remodeled?”
Tang Rui was surprised after hearing this. It had been less than a month, and the construction submarines were already refurbished.
Yes, all were remodeled from decommissioned submarines. According to your blueprints, it was straightforward to add equipment to the front of the submarines.
We removed the torpedo bays and transformed the torpedo tubes into drill rods, attaching drill bits to the front.”
Lin Chao explained with a smile, having closely monitored this project and even inquired with the shipyard, so he was well-informed.
“Right, the original design was for small submarines, so using decommissioned ones, with their ample internal space, indeed wasn’t difficult.”
After listening, Tang Rui thought it over.
That made sense.
He had thought the construction submarine remodeling would lag, but it turned out the sand suction ship was the one behind schedule.
“The last piece of good news is that your application for this year’s academician election has been submitted.”
What?
Professor selection?
Tang Rui thought about it; indeed, the professor selection was scheduled for this year, but how had his application been submitted?
“Who submitted it for me?” Tang Rui asked, confused.
“The National Defense Science and Technology University,” Lin Chao said with a smile.
“Is it a sure thing?”
“The military has made a request. What do you think?”
After hearing this, Tang Rui’s lips curled up. With the military speaking up, it was certainly a sure thing.
The title wasn’t important to him, but it was like being a chief engineer.
It carried prestige.
■wait, I haven’t graduated from the National Defense Science and Technology University yet, how can I be nominated for an academician?”
Tang Rui suddenly realized a key issue.
“You graduated yesterday; your diploma is already on the way,” Lin Chao replied calmly.
“???” Tang Rui was again full of question marks.
Good lord.
He had graduated just like that?
“Feeling a bit better now?”
“Yes, much better,” Tang Rui nodded, then put away his fishing rod, preparing to return.
“Why aren’t you fishing anymore?”
I didn’t bring a helmet, so I’m not fishing anymore.”
After packing up the fishing gear.
Tang Rui waved to Lin Chao and went back to the lab.
Since conventional methods couldn’t achieve a breakthrough in materials science, unconventional methods were necessary.
Methods such as cheating.
“Red Lotus, show all the metal smelting equipment, remove their outer shells, and keep only the internal mechanisms and essential components.”
“Okay, Master.”
Instantly, a variety of smelting equipment appeared before Tang Rui.
He planned to combine all the metal refining equipment into one machine, enabling it to refine all alloys.
Just by upgrading and enhancing this machine, the material problem would likely be solved.
Next.
Tang Rui began to assemble the equipment according to his ideas, integrating all the functions.
“Red Lotus, run a simulation.”
After assembly, Tang Rui gave Red Lotus an instruction.
Master, simulation complete. The equipment’s failure rate is 69.3%; performance decreased by 22.8%. Should I optimize it?”
“Simulate the optimization,” Tang Rui nodded.
This device, originally put together together by him, had a high failure rate, which was expected.
Anyway, Red Lotus could perform simulations and optimizations on this basis.
He didn’t need to bother with it himself.
After twenty-odd minutes, Red Lotus completed the simulation optimization.
The optimized device had grown to the size of a factory building, occupying over three thousand square meters..”
