Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

Computing Materials Laboratory, Jinling University.

Looking at the translucent cube, the black cylinder formed under the guidance of a blue beam, the ark said in a rather emotional tone.

“When I was at the Jinling Institute of Higher Studies, I talked to Dr. Huo and Deputy Director Yang about how to stably synthesize SG-1 superconducting materials, Deputy Director Yang smoked cigarettes all afternoon in the corridor... and guess what? ”

At this point in time, this half-height device in front of him is the Molecular 3D Printer, the core facility of the Institute of Computing Materials.

Unlike the popular home 3D printer, the bull force of this thing is that it can autonomously sequence the space of an atomic stack within a certain precision range, or even adjust the energy of a chemical bond.

This means that molecules, whether they exist in nature or not, can be “printed” in bulk, as long as they are logically capable of being present.

This device forced the ark to come up with a suitable word for the time being, just as few people could accurately describe how awesome his hyperspace theory was.

But there is no doubt that if we take this thing to the 21st century, materials scientists, biologists, and medical scientists around the world will have to go crazy with excitement...

Standing next to the ark, the young Ph.D. student who demonstrates his molecular-grade 3D printer asked curiously.

“How did you solve this? ”

“The vapor deposition method," the ark laughed and went on, "I don't know if I'm going to leave it here, but the only way we could have thought of it at the time was to stack each layer of graphene six meshes at an angle of 1.1 °, form a Mott insulator between each layer of cross section, and then find the ‘semi-filled’ structure we dreamed of. ”

The young Doctor is sweating.

“That's too... that's too much. ”

He was trying to be troublesome, but he always felt a little rude.

Looking at the look on the young man's face, Ark laughed and continued.

“… the technical route of the vapor deposition method is locked and the road behind is slightly more flat. We tried to improve the methods of laboratory preparation and worked with the engineers at Baosheng Group to figure out the methods of industrial mass production. Even so, however, costs are only ‘acceptable’ in relation to strategic industrial facilities such as controllable fusion reactors. ”

“In the past, a scientific idea required rigorous validation and cumbersome to numb design experiments before it could be tested. Now, however, the cost of validating an idea is just one hour with 10,000 credit points. ”

“The technology of this era is beyond my imagination. ”

When I heard the praise of the grandmaster of computational materials, the doctoral students scratched their heads with some embarrassment.

“It's not as exaggerated as you say… there are too many researchers working together in Pan-Asia, we have very limited funding, and in fact there are not many opportunities to try. And most of the more novel materials, which had been excavated almost as soon as molecular printing technology came out, now had to be calculated and designed in a rigorous way to achieve new results. ”

The ark shook its head with a smile.

“What a happy complaint. ”

“Know enough, son. ”

When I heard this “child," the PhD student's expression was a little subtle.

Though the big man came from a hundred years ago, he didn't look much like himself.

Without worrying about what the 22nd century young man felt, the ark looked at the translucent cube in front of him and said.

“I already know the basics. I have some ideas on my side that I'd like to verify. You go out first. ”

“Do you use the equipment here? ”

The ark smiled lightly.

“You underestimated me. Before I went into the lab, I had done some homework. ”

“How dare I underestimate you when you say that...” The Doctor touched the back of his head with embarrassment, "I was just worried about you and wouldn't operate these new devices. But if you insist, I won't be around. ”

Then he walked towards the door.

But that's when the ark called him from behind.

“Wait a minute. ”

When he heard Master Lu clamoring his voice, the doctoral student stopped and threw him the questioning.

“Is there something wrong? ”

The ark laughed and said.

“Would you mind pouring me a cup of coffee if I could? Just soluble. ”

……

Surprisingly, there is no such thing as instant coffee. It is either a coffee maker or a canned or bottled, bagged coffee beverage of the kind sold in convenience stores.

People in this era don't seem to like boiling water very much, and dried powdered drinks, though they don't leave the historical stage, have become a rare thing, and few people are prepared specifically at home or in the office.

After a bite of bitter, frowny black coffee, the ark placed the cup on the table, then removed a pen cap size memory card and gently placed it on the lab's holographic computer host.

As the blue beam lit up, the holographic image of Em quickly appeared in front of him.

“The lab took over successfully! Now it's Ai's! φ (≥ ω ≤ *) ♪”

Looking at the little guy dancing restlessly in the holographic beam, the ark commanded him to say.

“Don't do anything. We'll just borrow the equipment and return it when we're done. ”

Em: “Roger that! What does the master need Ai to do?✧”

Instead of answering immediately, the ship removed an orange yellow metal ball about the size of a fist from its arms and placed it gently on the table next to it.

Kill the core.

That's Private -1, the intelligent guard of the original memory body!

Though his instincts told him it was dangerous, he wanted to try to study it.

After all, this is from the Coke Empire - the super-civilized technology that once completed the wonders of the circumferential world...

“I have something I need to analyze. ”

……

The doorway to the Computational Materials Laboratory.

The PhD student, who had just come out of the lab, was hesitating to go to the library for a while and saw Principal Tsai and Dean Zhou of the Materials Academy and walked in with a ticket.

His face changed momentarily, thinking of President Zhou's previous orders to himself, the doctoral student turned around and wanted to leave. He was still seen by President Zhou.

Far away he called his name. Dean Zhou quickly walked up and stared at him and asked in haste.

“Why are you out here alone? Where's Master Lu? ”

“... Lu, Master Lu is still in there," said the PhD student hurriedly dumping the pot, "he let me out. ”

Dean Zhou stamped his feet in a hurry and stared at him.

“Didn't I tell you to follow him? How could you leave him in there alone! ”

He's not worried that Master Lu tore his precious instruments apart... well, he's still a little worried. But what worried him the most was that Master Lu hurt himself.

While 3D molecular printers are not dangerous, some unstable products, as well as incorrect operation, can lead to a range of serious consequences, including explosions.

Similar things didn't happen at Jinling University, but they did happen at the university next door.

An intern imported the wrong model into a 3D molecular printer in the wrong way, creating an extremely unstable set of folded chain CHO compounds. This compound rapidly decomposes into CH4, CO, and oxygen, as well as a lot of heat, in less than 1 millisecond in the natural environment.

The end result is said to be that the intern didn't just blow himself up, the whole experimental building was lit with black smoke.

Because of this, the university next door hasn't produced a hands-on paper on computing materials all year, and the entire hospital has been dragged to safety education classes.

A frozen man from the 21st century, even if his previous homework was sufficient, his experience with experimental equipment in this era was infinitely close to zero.

Letting such a person stay in the lab is no different than throwing a cigarette butt in a gas bucket.

Looking at Dean Zhou, who was angry at the students there, Principal Cai said in a circle next to him.

“Zhou, don't embarrass the child too much. It's Master Lu who sent him out. Can a Ph.D. student still turn his back? Think about it. ”

Though he also understood the truth, Dean Zhou shook his head unrelentingly and said angrily.

“Bullshit. This is bullshit! ”

After persuading President Zhou's side, Cai Mingrui then looked at the PhD student and continued to speak in a gentle tone.

“I don't blame you for this, just take us to Lu Academician. ”

Seeing the principal unravel the enclosure for himself, the doctoral student finally relieved himself and nodded hastily.

“Okay, no problem, please follow me! ”

After entering the lab, a traveler quickly arrived at the entrance to the lab.

The Doctor walked forward and pressed his fingerprints on the password lock.

However, something unexpected happened.

I saw the door lock flashing lightly, and the door was still standing there with no lines moving.

Seeing the words [Locked] floating above the door handle, the doctoral student stunned slightly, whispered a “strange” and tried again.

The same is true of this one.

The door didn't move at all.

Couldn't wait beside him, Li Guangya, who had endured the lack of speech, finally couldn't wait to say.

“What's going on? Aren't you going in yet? ”

“It's not that I don't want to go in...”

The expression on his face was full of difficulty. The PhD student standing at the door looked back embarrassingly at Dean Zhou and Principal Cai behind him and swallowed the mouth spit to continue.

“Door…”

“Looks like it's locked from the inside. ”
