C3383 Searching for New Materials
The completion of the thermal radiation project and the anti-radiation project gave Qin Luo a sense of urgency.
Therefore, after leaving the research and development center, Qin Luo quickly returned to the Yanjing University laboratory and threw himself into the research and development of the parachute.
"Professor Qin, this is the preliminary material of the parachute we have decided on. Please take a look." As soon as Qin Luo stepped into the laboratory, a researcher quickly welcomed him.
Through the work permit hanging on his chest, Qin Luo knew his name - Fang Lei.
A very serious researcher, as well as the deputy team leader of this project!
Receiving the information from Fang Lei, Qin Luo began to review it seriously.
Silk, long cotton, and high-quality marijuana...
These materials were very common. Most parachutes nowadays were made from these materials.
However, there was a key problem.
The field they used was completely different from the normal field.
A normal parachute only needed to hold back over a hundred kilograms of objects in time.
But the parachute placed on the spacecraft was completely different.
It needed to hold up a spacecraft weighing over a hundred tons!
This raised a very high demand on the strength of the material.
The strength of the material must be high, and the tenacity must be good.
Otherwise, if the parachute broke in the middle, the consequences would very likely be the destruction of the ship and death!
The materials that Fang Lei listed were good and cheap. It was true that they were good, but Qin Luo felt that it was not enough.
Not strong enough!
Either it was not successful, or it was foolproof!
Qin Luo would never allow even the slightest mistake to occur.
"What does Professor Qin think?" Seeing that Qin Luo hadn't said anything for a long time, Fang Lei couldn't help but ask.
"Not enough!" Qin Luo said in a deep voice.
Not enough?
Hearing Qin Luo's words, Fang Lei froze on the spot.
He did not understand what Qin Luo meant.
He had listed almost all the materials needed to make parachutes on the market, but Qin Luo still said that it was not enough. This made Fang Lei confused.
After pondering for a long time, Fang Lei said quickly, "Professor Qin, what do you mean by not enough?"
"Strength!" Qin Luo said in a deep voice, "Fang Lei, you have to know that our parachute is not used for parachuting."
"It is used to slow down the speed of spacecraft!"
"Silk, long cotton, high-quality linen, and other similar materials. Although they are not bad, they are not strong enough!"
"It is not a problem to support dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms of people, but the problem is, does the spacecraft only have dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms?"1
"No, according to my understanding, even the most popular spacecraft in the world nowadays, its weight can easily be dozens of tons. The slightly bigger ones can even be hundreds of tons."
"Do you think that with silk, long cotton, and high-quality linen, it can withstand hundreds of tons of pulling force?"
Silence...
Dead silence!
Just as Qin Luo finished his sentence, Fang Lei suddenly quieted down.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Qin Luo said was the truth!
Silk, long cotton, high-quality linen, and other similar materials were limited in strength. They could not withstand dozens or hundreds of tons of pulling force!
But if he didn't use these materials, what was he going to use?
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Fang Lei's mind.
He thought of a possibility!
"Qin Cult, do you mean that we are developing a new type of material on our own?" Fang Lei asked.
