I have a Black Tech Ball

Chapter 76 69 Chang's Alloy

"Dr. Han, how far along are we in researching our materials now?" Zhang Zi Ang said to the man who had just greeted him.

This man's name was Han Gang, studied in the United States, studied materials science, studied until his doctorate, and had a wealth of knowledge about materials, was knowledgeable, and was an invaluable talent.

In the beginning, in order to get this person to work for him, Zhang Ziang had wasted a lot of energy!

Dr. Han spared a roundabout head, somewhat embarrassed, "The latest high-temperature titanium alloy material we've developed is already able to withstand high temperatures of 2,000 degrees for a long time, but it's still a long way from our goal, and its strength is also not up to standard and easily damaged..."

Zhang Zion smiled after hearing that, "Normal alloys don't easily meet all the requirements of the shuttle, we can repeat alloys."

"Repeat alloys?" Dr. Han asked, this was the first time he had heard of this term.

"Yes, it's just a repetitive alloy, it's a way to bring together the advantages of multiple materials, where the materials aren't just limited to metals, for example, you can join the hardness of iron and the softness of rubber together, or for example... thus creating a super material."

The more Dr. Han listened, the more mesmerized he became, this was the first time he had heard of this concept, and Zhang Ziang had opened a whole new door for him, allowing him to see sights he hadn't seen before.

Zhang Ziang was subliminally guiding him, and although he already had thousands of materials in his mind that could meet the requirements, and the formulas for the various materials were already well known, he didn't want to just take them out.

Any civilization climbs up bit by bit, and knowledge is slowly accumulated, and although Zhang Zion took it out, it would save a lot of time, but it deprived the scientists on his side of the opportunity to practice their skills.

This was not what Zhang Ziang wanted to see, teaching a fish was better than teaching a man to fish!

And no matter how strong Zhang Zion was, he was after all alone, and some things were really too busy for him... he... needed help!

All this time, Zhang Zion had been working with Dr. Han and the research materials team he led, intentionally or unintentionally imparting knowledge that rocketed their level of knowledge as well as their cognition.

Baptized by the knowledge, the materials they had created were getting closer to their target.

"The heat resistance of the 1,000th material has reached 2,000 degrees."

"The heat resistance of the 1230th material has reached two thousand five hundred degrees."

"The heat resistance of the 1890th material has reached three thousand degrees Celsius."

........

"The heat resistance of the 2874th material has reached 4,000 degrees."

"The 2874th material meets our requirements for heat resistance, we've finally succeeded." Dr. Han jumped up happily and danced around like a child.

His gaze towards Zhang Zion was filled with admiration, it was the worship of the big brother, he himself knew that nine points of the credit for finding this material belonged to Zhang Zion, if Zhang Zion hadn't been there to guide him, he wouldn't have been able to discover this 2874th material even if he was given another ten years.

"Teacher, it's thanks to you this time." Dr. Han said with abnormal respect, his old Han had never served anyone in his life, and this time was considered to be a complete one.

"Don't, I'm embarrassed for you to say that." Zhang Ziang even shook his hand, looking at Dr. Han, who was already beginning to have a Mediterranean haircut, calling him a teacher, not to mention how awkward it was in his heart.

"No... the knowledge you're teaching me these days, I've used it all my life, not only the discovery of new materials, but also the way of thinking, it's opened my eyes, that's having a teacher and disciple ah, whether you admit it or not, you'll always be my teacher in my heart..."

Zhang Zi'ang applied the new teaching method that Little Ball had taught him while guiding Dr. Han.

"Err... "Zhang Zion touched his forehead, "Don't be too happy too soon, let's take a look at the other properties of this new material, if the other properties aren't up to standard, then that won't work either!"

"Okay, Master."

"Let's try its strength first, it's a key attribute."

Soon the hardness test results came out: 231HB. the hardness met the requirements.

"Next is the test weight."

"Next is the ductility."

........

"Compliant!"

"Compliant!"

"Compliant!"

Every performance of the new 2874 material was up to standard, it was like it was made specifically for airplanes.

"Once again, high temperature tests!" Zhang Zion gave the order.

"Yes Teacher!" Dr. Han immediately carried out Zhang Ziang's order.

At the very beginning, the new 2874 material was able to withstand four thousand degrees of heat, and it did not become significantly larger under the burning of four thousand degrees of heat, but there was one thing to note, and that was time.

The experiment just conducted was just a short time experiment, if it can be claimed to be able to withstand in a short time, must it be able to withstand 4,000 degree heat for a long time?

I don't think so!

Although being able to briefly withstand the 4,000 degree heat was already remarkable, surpassing all the materials now known on the water balloon, but Zhang Zion was still not satisfied, he wanted to strive for perfection!

"Give me 120 hours of burning at 4,000 degrees and see what happens after 120 hours, and keep me informed of any changes in the meantime."

"Yes, sir!"

After placing the new 2874 material inside a special container and sealing it, Dr. Han pressed the ignition button, and light blue flames sprang out inside the container, instantly covering the small piece of new 2874 material.

Dr. Han had put on special glasses to protect himself from the bright light, and even at this high temperature, the 2874 material didn't deform at all, intact as before.

One hour....

Two hours....

Three hours....

........

One hundred and twenty hours had passed, and inside the container the 2874 material didn't look like it had broken, basically nothing had changed, except for a bit of reddening in color.

"Alright, remove the flame for me, and perform natural cooling on the new 2874 material."

Natural cooling meant letting it slowly lower its temperature by itself.

An hour later, the 2874 material could now be touched with the flesh, and then another performance test was conducted to see if the performance had decreased after the high temperature of the upper time.

"Hardness qualified!"

"The weight hasn't changed!"

"Ductility qualified!"

Qualified!

Qualified!

........

Pass!

Everything qualifies!

Under prolonged burning, the new 2874 material did not fluctuate greatly in performance!

"It worked, we finally succeeded this time, the introduction of Material 2874 is enough to change the world, teacher you spawned it, the power to name it is only yours..." said Dr. Han.

"Err... "Zhang Ziang looked at Dr. Han speechlessly and thought to himself, "This is simply a living treasure."

"Let's just call him Zhang's Alloy." Zhang Ziang said beautifully.
