Chapter 138 Discovery
Since it is not a matter of Wu Tong's safety, then let's not move for the time being. Now it's just like in the novels that young people like to read, Wu Tong is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed, so they are waiting for Wu Tong to come out.
Wu Tong, immersed in the magical microscopic world, was unaware of the outside world. In his mind, deduction was carried out to the extreme. The symbols of the elements were intertwined and flying, and various atomic structures and unit cells were refined...
Under Wu Tong's deductive ability, everything appeared as fine as a hair, rotating and piecing together to form a beautiful hexagonal prism. The hexagonal prisms were interlocked and inseparable, forming metal lattices. The lattices formed metal grains, and the metal grains formed a macroscopic metal body.
After nearly a month of continuous learning and deduction, studying from various angles including materials, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, Wu Tong finally discovered the basis for absolute direction determination and absolute deduction.
So that's how it is. At a more microscopic level, the elemental atoms undergo special equivalent co-bonding to form a new unit cell, retaining selected beneficial directions and combining into a new molecular structure...and then through directional solidification, finally a pseudo-new substance is born, making the resulting new material have data that is transcendentally superior.
From a chemical perspective, it is a process in which metal particles undergo specific combinations, chemical bonds break and new ones are continuously formed.
This special co-bonding is not limited to the titanium, aluminum, nickel and iron elements she has used before, but exists between all natural elements. Different elements, under specific regular combinations, the metal distribution structure will undergo new combination innovations according to the selected direction, exerting performance that exceeds that of ordinary metals themselves.
There is some magical regular method among them that can perfectly utilize the advantages of combined metals and combine them into the better alloy materials they need.
If you don't understand the rules and combine them randomly, the performance of the combined materials will often be worse, unless you are extremely lucky or have an absolute judgment that points you in the right direction like Wu Tong.
It is just like ordinary titanium-aluminum alloy. Because the participation of aluminum dilutes the density of titanium, it directly causes the tensile resistance of titanium-aluminum alloy to drop sharply, and it is not even the average value between them.
It's a pity that this special law may not be fixed and universal. Different material combinations have their own unique laws. It is not realistic to generalize them all. Or, their current scientific and technological means are not sophisticated enough, and there are still some things that cannot be observed at a more microscopic level. Further research is still needed to turn this special co-bond mosaic pattern into a fixed law and extend it from theory to reality.
Sure enough, the magic of materials was not something she could achieve overnight. Humans’ understanding of matter was still too limited.
A solid product with metallic properties obtained by mixing and melting one metal with another or several metals or non-metals and then cooling and solidifying is called an alloy.
However, the world's understanding of alloys still remains at the most superficial level. It is only macroscopically uniform, like alchemy, which only uses the combination of various elements to form various alloy phases, and then undergoes appropriate treatment, constant experimentation, and trying various proportions, just like hitting the jackpot, to find the possibility of meeting various performance requirements, but it is unable to explain the more microscopic detailed principles.
Wu Tong's discovery this time is equivalent to providing a guiding discovery with great reference significance for the world to explore the principles of the formation process of alloy materials. And she has embodied it in her pen, on paper, and no longer just stays on her intuitive judgment.
Outside the dormitory, another sunset with its last rays of light disappeared into the sky. Old Cheng brought Ruan Chengxu to the door of Wu Tong's dormitory. Wu Tong had not gone out for two days and had been figuring out something.
On the day Wu Tong did not go out, he received feedback and came to check, but he did not disturb Wu Tong's train of thought. Now two days are about to pass, and he still hasn't seen him go out. He is worried, so he came to check again.
Li Yishen had been outside the door for a while. Seeing the master and disciple, he couldn't help but step forward to greet them: "Master Cheng, Cheng Xu, you are here too?" It was when Master Cheng called to inquire about Wu Tong's condition today that he learned that Wu Tong was suspected to have entered a special state of inspiration again.
Li Yishen has experienced this twice, and Elder Cheng also witnessed it in the laboratory last time. Once Wu Tong makes a discovery, he will enter this special state, and he will be completely immersed in the deduction and forget about the outside world.
By the afternoon, there was still no sign of Cheng Lao or Wu Tong contacting him, so he was worried, so he taught his students and hurried over. He had been waiting at the door for a while.
If he didn't knock on the door, Wu Tong would have not gone out for two days and two nights, and he probably hadn't eaten much either. It was not good for a young man to torture his body like this. If he knocked on the door, he would interrupt Wu Tong's train of thought, and the damage caused would probably be heartbreaking.
After a slight hesitation, Cheng Lao made a decisive statement: "Knock on the door. We will interrupt the inspiration once and for all. We can take our time. It is not advisable for Wu Tong to waste time like this!" Compared with the results in the short term, Wu Tong's health is more important. Wu Tong is still young and has an unlimited future. He cannot lose the big picture because of the small.
"That's right!" Li Yishen nodded in agreement. He stood by the door, turned around and raised his hand to knock.
While the two were talking, Wu Tong had almost come out of her deep research state and had become aware of some movement outside. She casually gathered the manuscripts in front of her, stood up, stretched her muscles, and walked out to open the door.
Just as Li Yisheng knocked on the door, the dormitory door opened from the inside. "Teacher, Teacher Li, Senior Brother Ruan, are you all here?" Wu Tong saw the three people at the door and was stunned for a moment, then called them one by one.
"You haven't been out for two days. No matter how important research is, you must take good care of yourself. It is not advisable to trade your health for scientific research results!" Elder Cheng said carefully. "I asked Cheng Xu to bring you some porridge. Drink some to warm your stomach first!"
Worried that Wu Tong's stomach would not be able to take it after not eating for a long time, Cheng Lao made proper arrangements with great experience. When asked how he knew so clearly, he said that when he was young, he was also like Wu Tong. When he was in the experiment, he worked day and night, but he didn't care because he was young. Now he has a lot of stomach problems.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, teacher. I have some food in my dormitory, so I can have a snack during the meal!" She knew that she was easily inspired, so she prepared some multi-grain biscuits, energy bars, eight-treasure porridge and other convenient fast foods in her dormitory. This time, she had them ready and used them.
"Teacher, I found something!" Wu Tong's eyes were shining. Rather than eating, Wu Tong wanted to share her discovery with the teacher.
