Chapter 46: Laser cutting leaves no trace?

The Academy of Military Sciences and the laboratory suddenly became quiet.

"Exceeding level thirteen hardness!"

Just the preliminary judgment made countless people take a breath of cold air.

The scientific researcher took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Pingyuan.

"Director, the current classification of hardness levels into various types is complicated."

"But the tenth level of hardness is undoubtedly based on diamond!"

"At present, the hardness tests of Dabufen are all conducted by diamond scratching or extrusion."

"Even diamonds can't leave any traces, how can we...how to test the hardness!"

Countless people fell silent and looked towards Zhang Pingyuan.

Obviously, this alloy is incredibly hard.

For a time, the entire scientific research team was at a loss.

No one knew how to continue.

The researchers who were originally talking and laughing were equally at a loss at this moment.

Zhang Pingyuan did not answer immediately.

Because only he can truly feel the shock that this alloy brings to him.

The hardness exceeds level 13!

Looking at history, this is unprecedented in the entire world.

He exhaled and said with extremely serious eyes.

"Since there is no suitable measuring method, create your own hardness measuring method!"

If you can't complete simple tests before formal development, what a waste!

give up?

This has never been the behavior of a Daxia person.

Sure enough, under Zhang Pingyuan's call, the entire scientific research team revived.

"The director said it well, since there is no way to test it directly with the existing method."

"Then let's create a test method ourselves!"

"This method is very likely to be the first method in the world that can define hardness exceeding level ten!"

"..."

There are many young people and fresh blood in this scientific research team.

With just a little encouragement, everyone cheered up.

At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly asked.

"Director, is this alloy your latest research and development?"

"Does it have a name?"

Zhang Pingyuan was stunned when he heard this, but calmly shook his head.

No one else knew about the conversation between him and the dean.

Zhang Pingyuan did not hide anything and answered truthfully.

"I don't know either."

"This production method and technology were given to me by the dean."

"There is no special name for this alloy in the data."

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire laboratory changed slightly.

In the field of alloy R&D and production, Zhang Pingyuan’s status is extraordinary.

Even internationally, it is possible to give lectures.

This research team also has great admiration for director Zhang Pingyuan.

And this alloy was not developed by the director!

How could they not be shocked!

These researchers can be considered experts in this field after all.

Just through the hardness test just now, they will be able to know about this new alloy once it is made public.

What an impact it can have on the international community!

In another sense, isn't the person who developed this alloy stronger than the director?

Zhang Pingyuan calmly shook his head and said with a slight smile.

"I know in my heart what you are thinking."

"Now that this alloy has been developed, you should be happy."

"I am also very happy in my heart that I can have someone to succeed me in the field of Daxia alloys."

"At least, let's start testing first, right?"

Following his words, the entire research team stopped discussing other topics.

All of them seriously studied the method of measuring hardness.

After some discussion, Zhang Pingyuan also had a preliminary idea in his mind.

He looked at the countless people below and began to discuss it seriously.

"The current hardness testing methods are too limited."

"There is no clear definition of alloys for metals that exceed level ten."

“My idea is to combine several current mainstream hardness testing methods.

"For example, using a hardness test pen to scratch or squeeze at a specific high temperature."

"Or, through some new technologies, laser cutting."

"Comparison of the depth of various metals cut by laser in a short period of time."

"Use this to calculate the hardness of this alloy!"

"..."

Soon, all the scientific researchers below came up with ideas for Zhang Pingyuan’s idea.

“Traditional hardness testing is rather limited.”

"Since the melting point of this piece of metal is above 5000°C, it probably doesn't make much sense to draw on the high temperature used in Brinell hardness measurement."

"Since we want to create a new hardness measurement method."

"I think the first step is to get rid of traditional thinking and using laser cutting is a good choice."

The scientific researchers below all chose the latter.

There are many kinds of metals in nature.

But it's nothing in front of the laser.

Even if it is diamond, the laser can cut it at will.

Since everyone was unanimous, Zhang Pingyuan made a decision immediately.

"In that case, let's conduct the experiment!"

Large laser cutting machines, although expensive.

The Academy of Military Science still has a few.

Fortunately, they have one in their laboratory.

Everyone quickly gathered around, and several scientific researchers working on the operation had already taken corresponding protective measures.

At the same time, they carefully placed the piece of alloy on the laser cutting machine.

Since there is no conventional hardness test, there is no way to test it.

There is always no problem with the laser cutting machine, right?

Zhang Pingyuan also showed a hint of expectation on his face.

On the laser cutting machine, debug the data, limit the power output, and the laser cutting machine is officially started.
