Chapter 1094
of the illustration guide unlocked, Dragon Scale No. 01
Guo Xueyun was naturally unhappy, but she was also mentally prepared for this. After all, Su Dingping was capable and would definitely not be able to devote all his heart to her in the future.
So she nodded silently, even though she was very dissatisfied, she was magnanimous.
"Thank you. I'll go shopping with you again when I have time!"
Su Dingping offered a word of comfort, then got into the car that had come to pick them up and returned to the military factory. There, he found that Liu Huaming had come again, and that Elder Li and Elder Hong were also present.
"Old Li, Old Hong, Commander, what happened?"
Liu Huaming's face was serious as he said in a deep voice, "The Eastern Wilderness Tribes couldn't hold back any longer and have sent a fleet to Kanyu Island, intending to seize it!"
"Hmph, they didn't hit them hard enough!" Old Li sneered. "Do they still think that the current Longxia tribe is the same as the Longxia of decades ago?"
"If they dare to mess with us, we should beat them so badly they won't even recognize their own mothers!"
As elders who witnessed the rise of the Longxia tribe and the invasion of the Donghuang tribe, they showed no mercy to the Donghuang tribe.
If they could, they would all want to personally pilot the warship to the Eastern Wilderness tribe!
Old Hong nodded in agreement: "That's right, if they dare to provoke us, then we'll give them a good beating!"
Liu Huaming looked at Su Dingping and continued, "You were right before. The Eastern Wilderness Tribe's fleet came to provoke us first, to test us. And then they made their move."
"Dingping, the higher-ups have decided to fight. Look, Diaoyu Island belongs to Longxia. We will not give up an inch of Longxia territory. What are your thoughts?"
Su Dingping frowned slightly. He hadn't expected the Eastern Wilderness tribe to be so forgetful of their past defeats. It hadn't been long before they had forgotten how badly they had been beaten last time.
I heard that the cabinet leader and a group of people committed seppuku, but the newly appointed cabinet leader still hasn't learned his lesson.
After thinking for a moment, Su Dingping nodded and said, "Now that we know their purpose, let them taste our power. However, if possible, I hope to delay them for three days."
"Huh? What are you going to do?" Liu Huaming asked, puzzled.
"I want to give it a try. If it works out, this time we can not only teach the chief of the Eastern Wilderness tribe a lesson, but also squeeze them out of a lot of money!" Su Dingping's eyes gleamed with excitement.
“In that case…” Liu Huaming pondered for a moment and then nodded, “Alright, I can agree to that, but we must launch our attack in three days!”
Liu Huaming came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
Neither Old Li nor Old Hong knew what Su Dingping was up to, but they both trusted him.
"Whatever you want to do, just go for it."
Su Dingping smiled and nodded, then said, "By the way, Elder Li, Elder Hong, there's something I need to discuss with you."
He then recounted his encounter with Tang Ping.
Old Li pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "We could agree to his request. What are your thoughts?"
“I think we can agree to that, but while we agree, we can’t let up on the investigation of Tang Ping. We need to investigate him thoroughly. Our current research is crucial for Longxia!” Su Dingping said.
“Yes, if you want to invest, you naturally need to investigate his entire family, including his ancestors for three generations.” Old Hong chuckled. “You suspect this Tang Ping?”
"I do have doubts, but it's just my gut feeling."
"Okay, then we'll do it your way. We'll communicate with our superiors about this. You can continue with your work. If Tang Ping can invest in the Dragon Heart Laboratory, it can indeed solve our immediate problem."
Old Li lowered his head and discussed it with Old Hong.
Su Dingping smiled and thought that the saying "having an elder in the family is like having a treasure" was indeed true. With two highly respected elders here, he really didn't need to worry about anything else.
When seeing off Elder Li and Elder Hong, Su Dingping took out the card that Tang Ping had given him and handed it to Elder Li to put into the laboratory's public account.
Old Li had someone check and found that there was five million in the card. Su Dingping was surprised when he found out: "That's quite a generous gesture."
"Wouldn't it be better if he were more generous? That way, he could invest more money in the lab?" Guo Xueyun asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su Dingping shook his head: "I've never believed in free lunches. If there were, there would definitely be ulterior motives. What do you think this Tang Ping wants?"
Guo Xueyun stood to the side, remaining silent for a long time.
Su Dingping didn't take it to heart. Although he couldn't go shopping, he still had half a day, so he wouldn't waste it. He immediately started creating a buffer zone.
Even if it's just him and Guo Xueyun in the lab, it just means the process is a bit slower.
When the researchers arrived at the lab the next day, they discovered that a boron isotope buffer layer system had been added to the neutron target lab.
The researchers exchanged bewildered glances, and one of them whispered, "Could this have been created by Director Su during his break yesterday? Doesn't he ever get a break?"
"When have you ever seen our director take a break?"
Immediately, many researchers felt a pang of guilt. Their director was not only incredibly capable, but also so hardworking, making them feel utterly ashamed.
"Truly a tyrant, ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself!" someone muttered, a sentiment echoed by everyone in the lab.
Just then, Su Dingping arrived at the laboratory and immediately got to work.
"Alright, now that we've rested, let's continue. Today, let's see if the boron isotope buffer layer is the key to manufacturing centimeter-scale core materials."
"Next, we will conduct a control experiment. All groups, please prepare!"
The laboratory quickly became busy, and the researchers admired Su Dingping even more, so they became even more serious about their work.
The test results came out quickly. A total of three tests were conducted with the addition of a boron isotope buffer layer, and each time the core material was successfully manufactured at the centimeter scale.
The experiment without adding a boron isotope buffer was also conducted three times, but all of them failed without exception. Clearly, the boron isotope buffer layer is the key.
Now that the manufacturing challenges have been overcome, it is possible to mass-produce centimeter-level core materials. These centimeter-level core materials can already be applied to some high-precision instruments. For example, after the boron isotope buffer layer was applied in experiments, the unlocking time for the core firing unit of the electromagnetic railgun and the electromagnetic damage repair module has been reduced from 30 days to 12 hours.
"Just as I thought."
Su Dingping breathed a sigh of relief. He had asked Liu Huaming to wait for three days for these two little ones, and now it seemed that it would work out!
"Okay, the next step is the third phase of testing. The core materials need to be upgraded to the decimeter level so that they can be applied to certain military products."
He knew that decimeter-level materials were just a transition; what he needed were meter-level core materials. Once he reached that stage, the successful development of the stellarator nuclear reactor would not be far off.
After dark, Su Dingping obediently finished his meal and returned to his dormitory, which surprised Guo Xueyun. Su Dingping was unusually well-behaved today and did not work overtime as promised.
However, if it were like this every day, then she wouldn't have to worry.
Little did they know, Su Dingping's obedience today was merely a prelude to the moment of successful unlocking.
As the midnight bell rang, the two illustrations in the forging space were finally unlocked. Su Dingping was overjoyed and quickly immersed himself in the military industry space.
The data of the electromagnetic railgun's core firing unit appeared before his eyes.
"Orbital magnetic field 25 Tesla... peak pulse current 500 million amperes... effective destruction distance 50 kilometers... instantaneous power 400 gigawatts, my god, that's equivalent to hundreds of nuclear power plants, right?"
"With such high power, if it were used in the previous electromagnetic transmitters, they would probably break down after only a few uses. We will have to wait until the core materials at the meter level are manufactured before we can build more matching electromagnetic transmitters."
Su Dingping discovered that if the core launching unit of the electromagnetic gun were installed, the range of the electromagnetic pulse transmitter would increase from 5-10 kilometers to 20-50 kilometers.
It should be noted that the maximum launch range of electromagnetic pulse weapons is currently only 20 kilometers.
Now, as long as the core launching unit of the electromagnetic railgun is installed, the maximum launch distance of the electromagnetic pulse has more than doubled. It can reach enemy radar, electronic equipment, missile seekers, etc., from 50 kilometers away.
If it attacks enemy warships, even the warships' electrical circuits will be punctured and burned out by the electromagnetic pulse, rendering them completely paralyzed!
Looking at the electromagnetic damage repair module, it measures 2.5m*1.8m*1.2m and weighs 1.8 tons, resembling a large iron box. It comes with complete spare cables, adapter boards, and a spare controller.
It can handle insulation breakdown and voltage collapse caused by electromagnetic pulses, and has a built-in artificial intelligence system and backup power supply. It can scan warships, fighter jets, tanks and other objects destroyed by electromagnetic pulses, and provides 72 hours of battery life.
Although it cannot be repaired directly, in the event of a battle, having this device would at least allow destroyed warships and aircraft to be brought back, thus avoiding further losses.
Its working principle is based on artificial intelligence scanning, bypassing damaged circuits, temporarily acting as a smart chip, using prefabricated cables, and automatically locking the faulty circuit...
It's essentially a pacemaker, providing temporary restoration of basic functions.
Su Dingping couldn't wait to go to the laboratory and manufacture both of these things, so he could take this opportunity to give the Eastern Wilderness Tribe a little shock!
Finally, dawn broke, and before Guo Xueyun could call him, Su Dingping ran to the laboratory and began drawing manufacturing blueprints. By the time the researchers arrived at the laboratory on time, he had already finished drawing them.
"Director, you're here so early." Jiang Tianzheng stepped forward to greet him.
Without looking up, Su Dingping said, "Something's come up. You guys get ready first. I'm going to the military factory."
The integrated military-industrial factory was right next door. Su Dingping took the blueprints and found the factory manager, handing over the two sets of blueprints.
"Only two electromagnetic railgun firing units are needed, and electromagnetic damage repair modules can be mass-produced!"
Su Dingping made many modifications to the drawings of the electromagnetic damage repair module, reducing the original large module to the size of a briefcase, and incorporating many security measures.
In this way, the repair module becomes a one-time use item, destroyed after use, and many technologies have been abandoned, resulting in a repair module with a battery life of only 12 hours, which can be described as a severely compromised repair module.
After reviewing the blueprints, the head of the military factory frowned: "Director Su, is this repair module...?"
"Don't worry, this isn't for us. You just need to focus on manufacturing it. And I hope that the electromagnetic railgun launching unit can be manufactured by tomorrow!"
“That’s no problem, but manufacturing the repair module itself is very difficult. The core components are hard to manufacture, and it also needs to have built-in AI detection…”
Su Dingping held the blueprints and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "That's right, didn't the Eastern Wilderness Tribe sell us a batch of precision parts that were about to be phased out a while ago?"
"I've seen it. Those parts can be modified and used as core components for the repair module!"
The factory manager still had some doubts: "It's possible, but if the components aren't compatible, many problems may arise."
"That's alright, you can make them, start with four hundred!" Su Dingping said with a wave of his hand, full of pride.
The factory manager was in a dilemma. Although the electromagnetic damage repair module technology was indeed very advanced, the core technology was only mastered by Su Dingping.
But electromagnetic pulse weapons have not become mainstream, and what is produced is not only a poorly made version, but also incompatible. Who can buy such junk?
However, he still nodded in agreement, since Su Dingping was the actual person in charge of the military-industrial integrated factory. If he hadn't been unwilling to accept it, Su Dingping would already be the factory director.
"Yes, Director Su, we will definitely fulfill your request!"
Su Dingping nodded, left happily, and after returning to his office at Longxin Laboratory, he called Liu Huaming.
"Sir, come to my place tomorrow. I want to give you a surprise."
"Oh? Then I'll definitely be there tomorrow!" Liu Huaming was quite surprised, after all, every time Su Dingping mentioned a surprise, it was always a huge one.
So even if it's raining knives tomorrow, he'll still go to the lab.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Jiang Tianzheng came to the office and handed a stack of documents to Su Dingping: "Director Su, the centimeter-level samples of the core material can now be mass-produced. Why don't you name the core material?"
The emergence of new materials will inevitably lead to their naming, usually after the creator. Now that the manufacturing difficulties of centimeter-level core materials have been completely resolved, naming them is to be expected.
"How about we call it 'Dragon Scale'? For now, we'll call the centimeter-sized material Dragon Scale - No. 01."
Jiang Tianzheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, Director, I understand."
"Our laboratory is called Dragon Heart, and the new material is called Dragon Scale. Who knows, we might actually be able to create a 'real dragon' in our laboratory!"
Su Dingping chuckled and said, "It definitely will!"
"By the way, the lab has been working at full speed these past two days to manufacture Dragon Scale No. 01. All the materials produced have been sent to the military factory and handed over to the person in charge." (End of Chapter)
