“Hello, my name is Cao Yuan, nice to meet you.”
Not long after Zhou Ji finished the phone call, a young man with glasses who was a little thin but seemed to have a bright personality came to the activity room of the Xinghai scientific research team.
“Hello.”
“welcome.”
Xia Xu and the others greeted each other one after another.
Since Cao Yuan can come over, he has already agreed to join or has some intention to join their research group. Soon everyone warmly invited him to take a seat, intending to continue the discussion while the iron is hot.
Tang Youxin and Song Yuluolin, who are pure information professionals, can’t help much at the moment, so they just poured tea and water, and bought some fruit snacks for everyone by the way.
On Xia Xu’s side, in order to avoid interrupting their train of thought, after getting to know each other a little, everyone hurriedly continued to brainstorm.
Of course, Xia Xu also glanced at Cao Yuan’s attributes before that, and the result also made his eyes shine.
【Name】: Cao Yuan
[Life Level]: 1
[Fate potential]: Physicist (4 stars)
[Talent potential]: Physics (4 stars); Materials Science (3 stars)
【Special】: None
【Obstinence】: None
【Favorite】: 67
4 star physics.
This is a very broad talent.
Although it may not be as good as Victor’s hanging wall, five-star is so easy to see, especially five-star physics, it may not be able to get one for thousands of years.
With the participation of a four-star physicist like Cao Yuan, their Xinghai scientific research team can absolutely do anything.
Especially in designing passive exoskeletons, Cao Yuan, a physicist who also majors in materials science and is familiar with graphene, is probably more useful than Zhou Ji and Walker.
“It’s okay to use graphene to make protective clothing, but I don’t think it’s necessary to give up the buffer layer. Instead, the entire passive exoskeleton structure can work on it…”
Under the enthusiastic discussion of everyone, Cao Yuan also felt a sense of sympathy, and soon gradually integrated into it, and after listening to everyone’s ideas, he brought a new suggestion, or a piece of good news.
“Professor Gao from Zhejiang University recently made a breakthrough in graphene research. They made a graphene sponge, which can also be called a carbon sponge…”
Cao Yuan is worthy of being a professional researcher of graphene, and Zhangkou revealed a material that has not yet been released.
Zhejiang University has now developed a graphene sponge, and it is said to be a sponge, but it is actually an aerogel.
Aerogels, which are mostly air inside, are negligibly light and are the lightest known solids in the world, with a density lower than that of air.
But this graphene sponge is more than light.
The graphene sponge has super elasticity and can be restored to its original shape when compressed by 80%.
And the more it is compressed, the higher its density, just like the sponge becomes hard after being squeezed, the stronger the impact force, the higher the strength and hardness of the graphene sponge will become, and finally reach the level similar to the graphene sheet .
Therefore, its compressive and impact resistance is extremely exaggerated, and it can admit more than 14,500 pounds of impact per square inch.
This means that only a thin layer is needed, mixing materials such as carbon nanotubes as the skeleton to obtain a very light and thin body armor that can easily defend against large-caliber armor-piercing bullets.
No, it shouldn’t just be called body armor.
