Chapter 319(2/2)
But looking at it from another perspective, Isaac is sincere enough when he says he wants to "immigrate."
At least it's much more comfortable than those foreign trash who run rampant and seek privileges in China by relying on their status as "foreign guests".
"Amazing talent - maybe instead of being a scientist, you could try being a language teacher."
Chen Nian complimented him appropriately.
As expected, the latter became cheerful, and the vigilance he originally held because of their first meeting gradually relaxed.
He followed Chen Nian to his seat and sat down, and then said:
"Actually, when you first invited me, I considered leaving the United States and settling in China."
"But you know, my home is in the United States and my family is also in the United States. It is not easy to give up."
"If I hadn't used 'Panda' to tempt my wife and daughter, they might not even be willing to come on this trip."
"However, from my personal perspective, of course I still have high expectations for China."
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Isaac's racial talent as a Jew was fully exposed.
No matter who he is in front of, he will always set his price first.
But Chen Nian completely ignored his bargaining words.
He came today just to do some technical research, and let other professionals in the Spark team do the trading matters themselves.
So, he raised his hand to interrupt Isaac's rambling, and asked directly:
"Mr. Isaac, what are your thoughts on the metallic hydrogen manufacturing process?"
Isaac was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting Chen Nian to be so direct.
But he quickly adjusted himself and answered in a professional manner:
"Through high-pressure diamond felt, this is the only route with theoretical support so far."
"As for the electrolysis and chemical methods that are circulated in urban legends, frankly speaking, I don't see their development prospects."
"-Of course, maybe that is indeed a feasible method, but they are still too advanced for the technology currently mastered by humans."
"So, from a practical point of view, I am still more optimistic about the pure high-voltage solution."
"Based on this plan, the main technical direction we need to optimize in the future is manufacturing in high-pressure environments."
"Further broken down, it is the hydraulic system, which is made of high-quality artificial diamonds."
"Artificial diamonds? Why?"
Chen Nian asked doubtfully.
In fact, even if you want to produce metallic hydrogen, natural diamonds are enough.
Contrary to what most people think, natural diamonds for industrial use are actually not worth much.
Especially compared to the huge funding for scientific research projects.
"For large-scale production."
"."
Good guy, you think far enough.
Chen Nian thought he was doing it because of material performance considerations, but he didn't expect that he was going for industrialization.
But having said that, artificial diamond technology is indeed relatively important in the process of industrialization of metallic hydrogen.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Nian continued:
"Mr. Isaac, your idea is good, but it is too conservative."
"Actually, we hope that you can bring us something new - if it is just a pure high-pressure method, we can do a good job even without you."
"Or let me put it more bluntly - if you can't come up with new technical solutions, I'm afraid we won't be able to cooperate."
Isaac fell silent after hearing Chen Nian's words.
In fact, the so-called "pure high-pressure plan" is just a cover, and even he himself has no intention of doing so.
The reason is very simple, the efficiency is too low.
According to his calculations, relying on diamond felt, if you want to create metallic hydrogen in the laboratory, the pressure must reach at least 600Gpa.
Can humans create such high pressure?
Isaac doubted this.
The only way is to incorporate multiple solutions, combine their advantages in some way, and finally form a complete set of production methods.
However, this process is bound to be difficult and requires a huge amount of resources to support it.
This is the essential reason why he chose China.
In the United States, a "little actor" like him simply cannot get so many resources.
After hesitating for a moment, Isaac finally said:
"I do have other ideas, but this is very immature."
"You can talk and listen first."
Chen Nian pressed forward step by step, and then added:
"You don't have to talk about technical details, just put forward the direction for us to judge."
Isaac nodded slightly and replied:
"Electrolytic chemistry and high-pressure physical fusion method."
"We need to use triatomic hydrogen as an intermediate product, but this process is difficult to grasp."
