Free Web NovelChapter 421: Chapter 265: So There Are Such Good Things!
Zhang Hongtao couldn’t figure out how Zhao Yi could accurately know the elemental composition of the imported plates.
’Nobelium’, also known as the 93rd element.
This element, which is near the end of the periodic table, has very little research within China, and most of the materials that contain it are imported from abroad.
Even for an expert in alloy materials, to say directly that the panel contains Nobelium would almost have to be a guess. There are several elements at the end of the periodic table that could be added. How would they know it was Nobelium? ƒreewebɳovel.com
Zhang Hongtao couldn’t figure it out.
At the same time, Zhang Hongtao didn’t think that Zhao Yu was guessing. His expression seemed certain that it contained Nobelium.
He wasn’t kidding.
Zhang Hongtao followed Zhao Yi with his questions. He kept making small talk with Zhao Yi about materials and alloys. He was conducting a probing conversation.
Zhao Yi kept nodding and hardly spoke.
Zhang Hongtao seemed to want him to voice some opinions, but Zhao Yi didn’t understand what he was saying. He knew about metal elements and could recite some of the periodic table, but he didn’t know anything about alloy manufacturing, the effects of heating certain metals to certain temperatures, or the colors and properties of certain rare metals.
How could he possibly know that!
What Zhang Hongtao said was very professional, all about metal materials and alloys. Zhao Yi could only listen and nod, pretending to understand, but actually complaining inwardly, "This guy is speaking Chinese, every word, every phrase, I can understand some of the sentences, but why don’t I understand when they are put together..."
When Zhao Yi was explaining earlier, he had already said that he ’occasionally looks at’ materials science. Having said it, he would look bad if he didn’t understand anything.
So when he could answer, he would.
For example, any question with a limited answer.
"If nobelium and aluminum are fused together in some way, would it make it more heat-resistant?"
"Can the carbon element proportion that serves as a harmonizer exceed 0.5%?"
"Is it possible to add two rare metal elements to create a more heat-resistant and solid material?"
Zhao Yi’s answers were simply ’yes’ and ’no’.
The reasons?
He wouldn’t plausibly explain.
Anyway, the two of them were conversing in the form of chatting, seemingly discussing scholarly issues, but essentially just chit-chatting, and Zhang Hongtao could not delve too deep.
After coming this far, Zhao Yi really didn’t want to be with Zhang Hongtao anymore.
After leaving the metal materials experimental base, he hurriedly moved next to Liu Guangzuo, finding that Liu Guangzuo was actually quite good.
At least...
This guy wouldn’t nag him about metal materials.
To engage in conversation with Zhang Hongtao earlier and demonstrate a certain understanding of materials science, he had used almost 20 points of energy. He had used the "Law of Cause and Effect" to find the answers to the questions.
points of energy is equivalent to two Study Coins. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s a waste if it’s used without any purpose!
On the other hand.
Zhang Hongtao stood at the door of the materials laboratory, looking at the departing group of people, and became more curious about Zhao Yi.
When he talked to Zhao Yi earlier, he deliberately asked some questions that he knew the answers to. Several of them were answered correctly by Zhao Yi.
One can say...
If it was the question that he knew the answer, Zhao Yi would get it right whenever he answered.
By this assumption, those questions where he didn’t know the answer, perhaps the opponent was also right.
Although it was just a probing conversation, Zhang Hongtao felt very surprised because Zhao Yi is a mathematician and computer expert, accomplished in the field of physics, and allegedly, a researcher in the biomedical laboratory.
These are all unrelated to chemistry!
If Zhao Yi also has some research in the field of metal materials, it would simply be incredible.
He’s a jack-of-all-trades!
"When I have the chance, I should ask him about the problems I’ve encountered in my research."
"Maybe... he can provide valuable suggestions?"
Zhang Hongtao thought that he should discuss more with Zhao Yi in the future.
The other party is a real genius.
Even though he might not have a solid foundation in the field of chemistry and materials, his ideas could be very creative.
Scientific research needs creativity.
After a large group of people left the materials laboratory, they visited two more academic buildings, including the postgraduate experimental buildings, before finally returning to the computer lab building.
They crammed into a small conference room.
Zhao Yi was arranged in the front row, he looked around and saw that there were about three or four dozen people in the conference room.
The number of people present was definitely not small.
Although it didn’t catch up with those large-scale studies, it should be noted that the lowest standard in the conference room was an associate professor (associate researcher) or above, including two academicians, Liu Tong’en, the designer of the National Navigation System, and a computer science academician from Capital University of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
Zhao Yi was arranged in the first row probably because of his research achievements—he had the world’s top results in mathematics, physics as well as computer science. In the academic world, success would confer status accordingly.
Even if he was just attending the meeting as an invited researcher (intern) from the intelligent automation laboratory, he was still arranged at the best location. No one objected.
But Zhao Yi was actually ’of no use’.
The content of the meeting had been decided. It was about distributing the work of error-correcting codes in the positioning system.
