369. New Substances
Speaking of this, Director Zhao's face turned red with excitement.
"So, we don't deserve any technology that is advanced than them. It's natural for them to steal ours. It's the logic of robbers!
Therefore, there is no need for us to talk about morality and rules with these rogues and our permanent enemies.
Only by catching up with them and completely destroying them from this planet can our nation truly be exempted from the threat.
If we talk about morality and rules with our enemies, we will become real fools!”
He glanced at Zheng Guolin and smiled embarrassedly and said, "It's a bit far."
Zheng Guolin quickly shook his head and said, "Not far away at all." Then he said with emotion, "Director Zhao, as a senior intellectual, I am very pleased that you can think so in your heart.
In this world, we and the West have no win-win situation, only a life-and-death duel.
If our intellectual community can maintain this sober cognition like you and know that the Western world is our natural enemy.
Then, that evil empire will never succeed. No matter what kind of hardships our Chinese nation encounters in the future, the final result will be that we will be indomitable and win!”
As the conversation went on, Zheng Guolin suddenly felt that he and the director had a little sympathy.
Director Zhao had realized that his words were a bit too radical, which was not in line with his identity.
So he gave up on the topic and returned to the fragments of the reflector.
"In the past six months, I have organized specialized optical researchers, chemistry and metals, and physics experts to do a lot of analysis and exploration on this piece of glass."
A hint of cunning appeared in his eyes.
"The result of the research is that we are all deceived by the legend that flatters Germany! The reason why they brag about this technology is probably to make us retreat and never develop the spirit of research and development. It is enough to have advanced technology in their hands. Humans like us, such as us, do not deserve the same technology as them.
Our nation has always had a spirit of hard work and indomitableness since ancient times. They are too confident and underestimated. What they do, we can do it!
However, if we don’t have the mirror fragment you brought back, we will still have to explore in the dark for a while.
Through research on this lens, we found that their lens grinding technology is not that mysterious."
Zheng Guolin thought to himself that Director Zhao is finally going to talk about the key issues.
Sure enough, Director Zhao said next: "We don't hide it from you. In the past, we tried to get a complete lens. It was precisely because of the completeness that we couldn't bear to destroy it, but we didn't find the secret inside.
This time, we studied this fragment and finally discovered a technology we didn’t know about in the past.”
It turned out that the optical machine used a lot of manpower and financial resources, racked its brains, and once got a piece of lens made from European grinding.
At the beginning, they conducted a long time of detection and research on its appearance, and finally had to remove the anti-diffraction coating on the surface, but still found nothing.
There was no fault on the edge of the entire reflector, and they did not find any other tricks between the anti-diffraction coating and the lens.
When they had no choice but to destroy the anti-diffraction coating above the lens, the substances between the lens and the coating were also destroyed. The researchers did not expect this layer and completely ignored this.
The fragment Zheng Guolin brought had a fault on the edge. When the researchers put it under the microscope, they occasionally found that there seemed to be something between the coating and the glass, which neither belonged to the glass itself nor the coating on it.
This discovery attracted the attention of Director Zhao. He immediately organized professionals to find various ways to extract the new substances found.
"It's a pity that there is too little new material." Director Zhao said with some regret, "Your glass is too small and you can't extract much new material at all. We destroyed the complete lens we originally obtained and finally extracted a little from it."
"What is this new substance?" Zheng Guolin asked.
Director Zhao replied to him: "Since we have too little, we are only a little bit larger than millet grains. So far, I haven't thought of a reasonable way to ensure that the chemical formula of this substance is obtained.
You have to know that this thing is just a little bit. If we do not study it properly and destroy it, we will not be able to study it in the future.
Therefore, we dare not easily obtain its molecular formula by destroying it before there is a reasonable solution.
Now, we can only guess what it is, and then make something based on the guess, and then compare it with it to see if it is this kind of thing. If not, continue guessing until the correct answer is found."
Seeing that Zheng Guolin was a little discouraged, he explained: "However, through the fragment you brought, we discovered this thing, which is of great significance. At least, we know what this thing is for.
It turns out that we just thought that the flat lenses are polished entirely through superb polishing techniques.
Now we know that this is impossible. Because the composition of glass and the chemical formula structure determine that it can only be flattened to a certain extent, and it will be difficult to improve it in the future."
Knowing that Zheng Guolin didn't understand what he said, he explained: "The glass we see with the naked eye is of course flat. However, if you put the glass under a microscope and observe it, you can see that the surface of the glass is uneven. As the saying goes, it is full of mountains and canyons, and it is uneven."
Zheng Guolin nodded, expressing his understanding of Director Zhao's statement.
Then, Director Zhao continued: "The microscopic performance of glass determines that it is necessary to make it into absolute flatness in microscopic state, which is indeed in line with the statement that flatters Germany. It is very, very difficult and can be said to be impossible.
However, if Europe did it, it proves that it is not impossible, but that we have not found a suitable method.
In the past, we were misled by this statement and believed that there must be better grinding methods that can smooth these mountains and canyons, but we don’t know.
Now that this new substance has been discovered, we know that they have no way to transcend physical and chemical structural laws.
They just try to polish and smooth it. This grinding technology is indeed very clever and superb, and requires highly skilled grinding workers.
However, we also have talents in this field. We are not unable to achieve their polishing skills.
When we were studying that complete lens, we ignored this issue.”
