The ideas kept colliding and outputting in his mind, and the preliminary structural direction appeared in Wu Tong's mind. Is it possible to weave special steel nano-wires into a grid skeleton, and then carry out direction filling, and combine the skeleton and the filler to expand and amplify the solidification force. Integrated construction can also speed up the construction speed.
Yes, it is possible. The ancients invented yellow mud mixed with straw crumbs, which made the earth bricks made of the mixed materials stronger and more durable. From the same perspective, it is naturally feasible to strengthen the integrated roadbed of the highway.
After determining this main construction idea, Wu Tong began to transform it into detailed mathematical problems and began to build a thorough mathematical model.
Develop an upper limit for the data parameters you want to achieve, and reversely deduce the most suitable weaving density of the grid skeleton and the required specifications of the special steel nanowires...
Using the most appropriate amount of materials to create the best results has always been Wu Tong’s established goal. There should be no waste from the beginning.
The traditional model of constructing elevated bridges in sections uses steel beams and steel bars as the skeleton, concrete as the filling material, and asphalt is paved. However, the cost is relatively high. Due to the terrain problems, the Jinguan Expressway directly reached a heavy cost of 200 million yuan per kilometer.
In the Materials Research Office, Tao Ran reported the parameter data of various basic materials to Wu Tong, and quietly made a simple summary of the information they collected.
"Concrete is one of the most important civil engineering materials in modern times. It is an artificial stone made of cementitious materials, granular aggregates, water, and admixtures and additives added in a certain proportion, which are uniformly mixed, compacted into a dense shape, and cured and hardened.
The term concrete generally refers to cement as a binder, sand and stone as aggregates, mixed with water in a certain proportion, and then mixed together. It is also called ordinary concrete and is widely used in civil engineering.
Wu Tong glanced down at the summary of the materials in his hand and pondered: "Whether it is ordinary concrete in a broad sense, based on the six major types of cement specified in GB175-2007, namely Portland cement, ordinary Portland cement, slag Portland cement, pozzolanic Portland cement, fly ash Portland cement and composite Portland cement.
Or specialty cements with special properties or uses, such as G-grade oil well cement, rapid-hardening Portland cement, road Portland cement, aluminate cement, sulphoaluminate cement, etc.... They are basically all silicate products!
Silicate? Wu Tong's gaze focused again.
Most of these materials have the advantages of high melting point and stable chemical properties, and are widely used in various industries and scientific research.
For Wu Tong, various materials and basic structures are all commonplace and easy to use.
When the focus was gradually analyzed and oriented towards silicates, Wu Tong's pen had already quickly sketched out on the draft paper the basic structure of silicates, a silicon-oxygen tetrahedron; the silicon atom occupied the center and four oxygen atoms occupied the four corners.
These tetrahedra, based on tetrahedrons and different combinations, form various types of silicates.
This can also be classified as another form of silicon oxide. After conversion, this returns to the area she is quite good at. In this area, Wu Tong has sufficient in-depth research experience, so she is naturally more adept at deduction.
Ordinary cement structures naturally couldn't satisfy Wu Tong's current vision, even with the existing specialty cement. If there wasn't anything more suitable, she would continue digging until she found something more suitable.
Low cost, high strength, high performance. In the field of materials research, Wu Tong has always been keen on pursuing higher performance, even at the most demanding level.
Seeing that Wu Tong seemed to have some inspiration and was writing something very quickly, Tao Ran almost held his breath immediately, gently placed the documents in his hand on the corner of Wu Tong's desk, lightly walked out of the office.
Wu's state cannot be disturbed. This is an iron rule that was emphasized during the confidentiality training and the confidentiality agreement they signed when they joined Wu Tong's team.
Wu Tong screened and deduced each direction, and wrote countless pages of draft paper. He also conducted in-depth research on the adhesive material literature he had referred to, as well as the information on this field at home and abroad. In addition, Wu Tong's knowledge reserve in the field of silicon oxide and special silicides led to new breakthroughs in his thinking every day!
Wu Tong steadily moved towards the peak of success step by step.
By the end of June, the final deduction results were presented at Wu Tong's pen, and the chemical formula of sodium silicate chloride - NaCl was put to the final touch.
Silicate is a chemical term. The so-called silicate refers to the general term for compounds formed by the combination of silicon, oxygen and other chemical elements, mainly aluminum, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, etc.
After in-depth analysis and screening, it was only natural for Wu Tong to turn his attention to sodium chloride.
Other combination directions are not without research value. On the basis of controlling costs through mergers and acquisitions and minimizing costs, sodium chloride is undoubtedly an extremely suitable choice.
In addition to oxygen, which accounts for the largest proportion in seawater, the next is chlorine. Among the metals with the highest content in seawater, sodium ranks first.
Therefore, the first processing workshop in the seawater desalination production line is the sodium chloride separation and extraction process.
Although it has only been operating at full capacity for about a month, the desalination plant has already accumulated a considerable reserve of sodium chloride. Based on the current separation rate, the total annual output is estimated to be over 100 million tons. This figure will increase several times with the addition of other desalination plants and desalination production lines.
Logically speaking, sodium chloride is the main component of common table salt, so converting it directly into edible salt would be quite useful, wouldn't it? However, this isn't actually the case. While salt is a necessity, the daily intake per person is quite low. Even though it's often wasted, China's annual salt consumption is only about 7 million tons.
In China itself, conventional salt production has a production base of 40 million tons.
Compared to the production volume measured in billions, this is only a fraction of what was consumed, and only a fraction of what was used. Especially after the reform of the mining extraction model became popular, the bulk of the consumption of sodium chloride ore smelting was also replaced simultaneously.
The accumulation of large amounts of sodium chloride reserves could cause environmental pollution if not handled with care, which is not what they originally intended.
How to consume this huge amount of sodium chloride is about to become a ridiculous resource accumulation problem.
This is indeed a perspective that feels that resources are insufficient, there is little surplus in China, and there is little sense of responsibility.
