Chapter 53 Research Institute
"Thank you, that's all for now." Tom Buchanan pressed the hem of his suit with a little restraint, and signaled to the young attendant who brought refreshments that he was dressed very smartly today.
Daisy was a little surprised that her husband would behave so politely. He was usually a guy who could treat waiters like air, and she had never seen such a cultivated attitude.
James was wearing a comfortable and casual silk cigar gown. He took the silk cloth from the butler Casper, wiped the corners of his mouth, and raised the cigar in his hand with a questioning expression.
Mr. Buchanan took one in front of him and lighted it up carefully. Daisy beside him was as graceful as ever. With a soft voice, she saw a freshly unpacked and not yet arranged one by the side of the hall. Helmet-like object, asked curiously.
"Mr. Howlett, what is that scary-looking helmet, a new trendy craft?"
James glanced sideways, slandering that Asazo never knew how to pack his things, and explained kindly.
"It's a souvenir from a trip to Africa a few years ago, the helmet of a tribal chief."
Daisy looked at the strange texture, the silver-gray reflective leopard-shaped helmet under the light, enviously talking to her husband that she must travel to the African continent when she finds an opportunity.
Through this conversation, Tom Buchanan relaxed a lot, and started chatting over cigars.
"Father has told me many times about Mr. James Howlett's legendary stories. It is a great honor to visit you today."
"That's all my father's experience, I'm just a lazy person, don't be so polite." James responded quite skillfully, he was used to such visits and compliments.
Buchanan continued to talk about relationships, and hoped that the Howlett family would give more trust. The Buchanan family has the ability and confidence to do more cooperation projects.
Daisy was secretly shocked. The Buchanan family, a traditional capitalist aristocrat who has been in the United States for nearly a hundred years, was so dependent on this young heir who seemed to be under 30 years old. A down-and-out noble lady like her still has little vision. up.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Buchanan got up and said goodbye with a wink. Today, even his father can no longer say that he is a useless polo boy when he can meet Mr. Bruce Howlett.
"Looking at your burly and strong figure, you must be a good athlete. If you have time, please come to my mansion to try polo. I have a big field there. Of course, it can't be compared with your manor, but the polo field is built It's the best!"
The Buchanans left the hall, said goodbye to James at the end, and were politely sent out of the manor by the waiter.
James called Asazzo a few times out of boredom, but didn't respond, so he had to arrange for Casper's butler to drive to the Howlett Research Institute in Brooklyn.
After coming to New York, Asazo often disappeared without a trace, but now he is much more careful and sophisticated, and has never caused any trouble.
Howlett Institute of Technology, Brooklyn, NY.
In the current era, it is easy for people to criticize the name of the Institute of Science and Technology, because in recent years, there have been too many unscrupulous businessmen who have made some fake products under the guise of selling high technology.
For example, after Madame Curie discovered the element of radium more than ten years ago, she didn’t know what kind of wind was blowing out, claiming that taking radium was good for health, and drinking radium water became popular for a while.
But the Howlett Institute of Technology not only has an unshakable position in the civilian industrial manufacturing industry, but also a center of high-end scientific research and military technology that the American government pays close attention to.
"Mr. Howlett, we have almost developed the basic application of sound-absorbing steel in the past few years. More problems are limited by the limitations of the current power model and basic science."
Dr. Varden McCall, wearing light work clothes, introduced to James some mechanical products made of vibration gold in the highest-level laboratory underground of the institute, such as all kinds of engines, automobiles, and motorcycles made of vibration gold. wait.
In fact, the vibration gold research in this research institute is already the most basic. A lot of vibration gold in-depth research and casting are in another suburban secret experimental base, and these scientists even gave Zhen Jin a nickname—— Acoustic steel.
Vibrating gold can absorb almost all vibrations, including the kinetic energy directly applied to it. The absorbed energy will be stored between the molecular bonds that make up the material, that is, the absorbed energy will make the material stronger.
It is relatively easy to smelt as a raw metal ore, and it will show signs of melting after exceeding the smelting temperature of special steel, and can be shaped and forged.
But once cooled, after the casting is completed, it is difficult to use the same temperature for secondary melting, that is, the melting point will be greatly increased.
Such miraculous properties make Zhenjin the best material for power machinery. You don’t need to consider the instability caused by overheating of the engine and high power, let alone the strength and durability of the material.
The innate basic characteristics of vibration gold determine that the engine made of vibration gold can immediately reach the theoretical limit of power performance in the current era, and the extreme value of vibration gold's absorption of various energies cannot be touched by current means.
And the strong ductility and plasticity of vibrating gold have created its extremely wide application fields, but it is a pity that vibrating gold is not suitable for making gunpowder weapons.
For example, the bullet is fired by the explosive force of the gunpowder in the gun chamber, but if it is a firearm made by Zhenjin, the explosive force will be directly absorbed, instead of no power.
The engineering and material scientists gathered under James believe that, based on the characteristics of this material, it may be affected by a certain high-frequency sound wave to produce a change in properties, and Zhenjin's weapon research is more suitable for other than cold weapons. What is more is an energy-like weapon, but there is no technical capability to reach this level.
"How is the fusion test with other metal materials?" James asked cryptically, this is the current focus of the secret research institute's test direction.
Dr. McCall rubbed his eyebrows with some headaches, and said helplessly.
"At present, no combination that is better than refined and purified vibrating gold has been found. Most of the alloy products only rely on the characteristics of vibrating gold to improve the effect of the original material, which is not very meaningful."
James also attended an engineering school in the UK. He understands the dilemma of materials science, which requires a lot of time, material resources and even luck to break through.
"It doesn't matter. Let's do it slowly. Don't make too many finished products. The existing raw materials are still relatively limited. You mainly use them for research."
Dr. McCall also knows that it must be extremely difficult to obtain such a magical metal, which may be extremely limited. He has studied metals and biochemical materials for many years, and he never thought that there would be such a magical substance in the world.
Only such a powerful giant as the Howlett family has such resources.
What troubled James more was the research progress of the heart-shaped grass plant. The Howlett family has not dabbled much in biology and pharmaceuticals, and has always lacked technical leaders. He has a candidate in his heart, which is information he does not know much Derived details.
But this person, he doesn't even know his name.
The example of radium water was a few years earlier, and there were still many wonderful and scary "scientific" creations in that era.
