Rule department scholar

Then there is the application for the experimental project.

Zhao Yi submitted an application for the experimental project, and the requested funding is 20 billion RMB, half of which will be used to manufacture special anti-energy normal devices.

The application report was soon in the hands of Director Liu of the Science and Technology Department. After reading the report, Director Liu immediately gave his approval, and then continued to submit it.

After everything was done, Minister Liu realized, "Why did you just reply directly?"

"This is a big project worth 20 billion yuan!"

He immediately smiled wryly, "It seems that I'm used to it, as long as the projects applied by Academician Zhao are in units of 'billion', compared to tens of billions, 20 billion is just a small amount—"

"Ugh!"

"Habits, it's really scary!"

Chapter 693 Li Renzhe's Big Discovery

An application was made for the ground transmission experiment, and the funding soon came down.

Assisted by the anti-gravity technology team, the order of parts was quickly completed. They wanted to manufacture the one-sided anti-energy barrier equipment. The new equipment had to be assembled by themselves. The most important beam equipment was relatively simple to order and manufacture, but Some components require special fabrication, the most critical being the beam duct equipment.

Because the beam pipeline equipment is a new design, it needs to be specially manufactured by the manufacturer, and it will take a while to complete.

"About a month or so." The anti-gravity technology team replied to Zhao Yi like this.

The theory group couldn't wait, but they also knew that it would take time to manufacture new equipment.

A month goes by so quickly.

In fact, the time period for ordering most new equipment parts is several months or even longer. The production side mainly considers the needs of the theoretical group as the first priority, and Zhao Yi's projects are always focused on.

This month is very free, and several people in the theory group simply take a break.

Their research has entered a bottleneck period.

Because there is no experimental data for reference, it is impossible to make any definite progress just by being bored in the office and thinking about it.

Zhao Yi simply went home and went to Yanhua University in his spare time to fulfill his duties as a professor.

Not a good decision.

When Zhao Yi decided to set up a temporary public class, he found that a large number of students signed up, including teachers and professors from the school, and even professors from the School of Science and the School of Information, and what he talked about was just particles. Mathematical basis.

"It's not easy to teach students now!" Zhao Yi can only lament that his reputation is too high, and even a class is so attractive.

The class that day was not a big deal, and Zhao Yi didn't think that his teaching skills could surpass others, it was just a normal lecture.

Even so, he received a lot of praise after the class, because Zhao Yi's explanations are very easy to understand, and people feel that they have learned a lot.

After this experience, Zhao Yi felt that it is better not to set up courses lightly. There are too many similar courses. If students can compare them, they will find that the courses he taught are not serious.

This is of course not good.

Then Zhao Yi took a break and came to care about the situation of the transport ship.

The transport ship has been tested twice, and the third test is to land directly on the moon.

Now we are preparing for the mission of the transport ship to land on the moon. Landing on the moon is not the main purpose. Whether it is for the space agency or Yixing Company, there is no technical difficulty in landing on the moon. The most important task is to transport the lunar base vehicle, and by the way, transport a large amount of equipment and equipment. supplies.

The load of the transport ship is as high as [-] tons. Regardless of the size, it can even transport the space station directly. The lunar base vehicle only has [-] tons.

These all need to be transported in advance, and more than three times in the early stage, it is enough to support the initial construction of the lunar base.

Whether it is the plate used to build the base or the single crystal silicon sheet, it is highly resistant to radiation and corrosion, and can also withstand ultra-low temperature and ultra-high temperature. The materials can be transported to the moon and placed normally.

These materials are all fixed on special carts, and after they are placed on the surface of the moon, the base carts can be used to pull them in batches after confirming the location seen by the base.

In addition, it is solid fuel energy.

The future lunar base will mainly use the transmission of solar energy, and will also use a part of solid fuel energy as a supplement. The energy demand is still relatively high. It is also very important to transport a part of solid fuel reserves in advance.

The reason why solid fuels are used is because only special fixed chemical fuels can be used under the special vacuum environment on the surface of the moon, and other energy sources that require oxygen do not need to be considered at all.

The first mission of a transport ship to land on the moon still requires a lot of preparation.

Safety comes first.

To ensure safety, detailed inspections must be done, and a series of plans need to be formulated to ensure that astronauts know how to solve problems in any environment.

There is no need for Zhao Yi to care about these.

After learning about the progress of the transport ship mission, he continued his idle life at the university.

He went to the microbiological technology laboratory that day.

When I went to the microbiological technology laboratory, I was definitely looking for Li Renzhe. My friends hadn’t been together for a long time. He also went to see Li Renzhe’s research by the way, because Li Renzhe said that his research had made a breakthrough.

Zhao Yi went.

After opening the door of the laboratory, he saw Li Renzhe operating on the platform through the glass, and he didn't know what he was doing.

Zhao Yi waited for a short time before Li Renzhe came out.

"Zhao Yi, you are here!"

Li Renzhe took off his overalls and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"How is it? Is there any progress?" Zhao Yi knew that Li Renzhe was doing special research on bacterial anti-virus, that is, to find mutated bacteria that can resist viruses, and to study how these bacteria can resist viruses.

This is a branch project of the study of bacterial variation.

Li Renzhe said, "A lot of progress has been made. I have cultivated a special mutant Rhodospirillum, which can resist the corresponding phage virus."

"This mutant Rhodospirillum has very strong viability and can adapt to various harsh environments. Perhaps because of the influence of mutation, it can also multiply exponentially in a short period of time."

"I have cultivated the fifth generation, and after the third generation, the behavior is relatively stable."

Li Renzhe pointed to several culture tanks in the laboratory.

Zhao Yi looked over and found a culture tank whose color seemed to be different from the others, so he asked with some doubts, "That is—?"

"Most are dead."

Li Renzhe said with some regret, "I only came to you when I encountered a problem. When the fifth generation was reproduced, many bacteria in the culture tank were about to die after two days. I don't know why."

"I asked Professor Wei, but he didn't have any good advice."

"Is it an environmental problem?" Zhao Yi asked doubtfully.

"Probably not." Li Renzhe said, "The environment for cultivating him is the most conducive to the reproduction of Rhodospirillum."

"is it?"

Zhao Yi looked over suspiciously, then put on his overalls, disinfected his whole body, and walked into the laboratory.

Li Renzhe also went in, explaining, "It's just these few culture tanks, the color inside has changed, indicating that a large number of Rhodospirillum are dying."

Zhao Yi glanced at it and knew why, he asked, "Didn't you consider opening the lid? Could it be affected by the closed environment?"

"No way!"

Li Renzhe said, "These Rhodospirillum are particularly anaerobic."

Zhao Yi took a closer look at the cultivation tank, shook his head and said, "You should test the ingredients inside, it may be filled with a lot of oxygen."

"what?"

Li Renzhe didn't expect this to be the reason at all. He didn't believe it, so he prepared to do a test, "Wait, let me see!"

It is still a bit complicated to detect the air in the culture tank, but it is relatively simple to detect the oxygen content, and it only needs to go through the machine.

Li Renzhe took a culture tank and went to the main laboratory next to it. The results were soon available. He walked over while shouting, "Zhao Yi, it's as you said, the oxygen content is as high as 60.00%!"

"I'll just say—"

Zhao Yi suddenly stopped talking, and he suddenly felt that the data was not right.

"The oxygen content is 60.00%, are you sure?" He asked in surprise.

Wei Shiqing followed behind Li Renzhe. When he heard that Zhao Yi was coming, he followed him to have a look. After hearing what Zhao Yi said, he immediately said, "How could there be a mistake? Zhao Yi, we were just on the machine The test is over." He felt that his professionalism was questioned.

"Professor Wei!"

Zhao Yi called his name as a greeting, and immediately waved his hands, "I didn't mean that. You know, I am very sensitive to data. Rhodospirillum can indeed secrete oxygen under certain special circumstances, but this culture tank The oxygen content is a bit too high, let alone 60.00%, even if it is only [-]%, it is still an astonishing figure."

"This is very important!"

"You should know that there are very few bacteria that can secrete oxygen, and most of them consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide."

"Rhodospirillum is a special strain, but only under certain conditions can it perform photosynthesis similar to plants."

"There must be a lot of organic matter in your culture tank. Under such circumstances, Rhodospirillum is unlikely to produce oxygen."

Wei Shiqing and Li Renzhe also realized that they were not that sensitive to numbers, but after listening to Zhao Yi's explanation, they immediately noticed the problem.

Wei Shiqing was surprised, "You mean, these mutated Rhodospirillum are likely to actively secrete oxygen? Or, some kind of change has taken place in their bodies, so that they can only perform metabolism similar to photosynthesis?"

"Correct!"

Zhao Yi nodded vigorously.

These few items have already reached conclusions, and his voice has become very certain.

Wei Shiqing and Li Renzhe glanced at each other, and they both noticed that the mutated Rhodospirillum cultivated was very unusual.

This is a bacterium that can actively carry out photosynthesis. It sounds incredible, and it may have other functions.

Zhao Yidao, "This mutated bacterium is likely to have huge use value, Lao Li, this time, you may have made a very valuable discovery!"

"Really?" Li Renzhe was suddenly excited and looking forward to it.

Although he has already worked in the microbiological technology laboratory, his research ability ranks at the bottom, and the culture tank in his hand is a rare achievement in a few years.

Now Zhao Yi affirmed that maybe he had made a big discovery, which made him excited immediately.

This is Zhao Yi!

Although Zhao Yi is his friend and close buddy in the same dormitory, it has become a habit to sarcasm each other, but Zhao Yi's strength in the academic field cannot be denied.

Zhao Yi is the number one scientist in the world.

Even in the field of biology-related scientific research, he is undoubtedly the number one. A person of this level affirms his own discoveries, which is definitely worth being very excited and looking forward to.

Li Renzhe couldn't think of the use of the Rhodospirillum in his hand, so he immediately asked Zhao Yi, "What should I do next?"

"Cultivate!"

Zhao Yidao, "Cultivate more, test the specific metabolism of this mutated bacterium. If it is confirmed that it has a strong oxygen production capacity, it will have great economic and use value, and even say—"

"This research is enough for you to get a biological science award!"

"Huh? Awarded?"

Li Renzhe's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately said, "Hurry up! Hurry up! I want to win an award! Start training and testing immediately!"

Wei Shiqing is also gearing up to join.

However, what Li Renzhe said next made Wei Shiqing's heart cold, "Zhao Yi, are you okay recently? Let's study together. This result is half as good as yours." After he finished speaking, he turned his head and found that Wei Shiqing was right. Picking up a culture tank, he immediately asked suspiciously, "Professor Wei, what are you doing with my culture tank?"

"—!"

"this--"

Wei Shiqing was a little embarrassed, and wanted to put down the training tank but was reluctant.

Zhao Yi shook his head and smiled, "No need, you can study with Professor Wei, Professor Wei is an expert in microbiology, he can help you a lot."

"All right!"

Li Renzhe thought about it and accepted it.

In fact, he wanted to do research with Zhao Yi. With Zhao Yi, he felt very confident, and the results seemed to be right in front of his eyes.

Wei Shiqing is indeed a very powerful microbiology expert, but he is far behind Zhao Yi, so he can only be regarded as a secondary choice.

Li Renzhe does have the right to make decisions about the research, because this is a small project he applied for alone, and the experimental funding is also independent, and has nothing to do with others.

Letting Wei Shiqing join in now is equivalent to sharing part of his achievements. He has no intentions, but it feels very awkward that his own research is divided into part of the results.

Wei Shiqing also knew that by joining, it was tantamount to 'taking advantage', and immediately said, "Renzhe, don't worry, I'll help you research together, and when the time comes, whether it's publishing a paper or winning an award will be yours."

The latter sentence is, 'I'll just hang up my name', but I didn't say it because there will definitely be people who participate.

Now Li Renzhe felt relieved.

Zhao Yi didn't care about the results, he was more looking forward to the detailed results, because bacteria that can secrete a lot of oxygen have too many uses.

He immediately thought of the moon base.
