The technological empire begins with polymer materials - Chapter 42 Failure to crack and Chinese paper!

In the afternoon, Dr. William Nelson, chief scientist of the DuPont Group, suddenly felt a tightness in his chest. The closed environment of the laboratory and the buzzing sound of the air filter all made him depressed, and it was very difficult to even breathe.

So he handed over the remaining work to his subordinates, walked out of the laboratory quickly, went to the open grass outside, and took a deep breath.

Soon after, his assistant Durand also walked out of the laboratory, sat down next to Nelson, and let out a long sigh.

“Failed again?” Nelson asked.

Durand nodded helplessly, “What the hell, our chemical ratio is obviously the same as that of Kunlun Company, but the result is so different. Kunlun Company’s fiber quality is so good, but our imitations are completely rubbish! “

Nelson showed an expression that was not surprising, “It looks the same, but it is actually different. Kunlun Company’s chemical formula contains a trace amount of stabilizer, and the special stabilizer protects the fiber structure and prevents excessive honeycombing. While losing strength, it also greatly enhances the toughness of the fiber.”

In fact, the difficulties encountered by DuPont are not unique. As far away as Hakone on the Rhine River in Germany and at the foot of Mount Fuji, all companies trying to imitate X fiber are encountering continuous setbacks.

X-fiber cannot be copied, which Gao Yuan is confident about.

But Gao Yuan is very happy to see that the whole world is trying to crack it, because the more attempts to crack it, the more money and resources will be wasted by opponents. Gao Yuan has always liked seeing competitors being defeated.

Nelson rubbed his temples and sniffed again. The fires in California that had been burning since September had made the air on the entire West Coast no longer sweet. The sky turned a strange orange color, and a faint smell of burning paste could be smelled in the air.

In 2019 AD, the fires in Australia that lasted for several months emitted more than 400 million tons of carbon dioxide into the air, which is equal to the combined annual emissions of 139 countries. North America, the global hegemon, is even more powerful. Fires on the West Coast are a common occurrence, and they occur every three to five times. Come last time.

However, turning around, Australia and North America want to accuse the Chinese of not being environmentally friendly enough, destroying the earth’s carbon balance, and need to be punished.

Many Chinese people don’t understand why they don’t do their best to put out the fire?

This question is really boring. First of all, whether we can save the fire or not has nothing to do with us.

Secondly, if you really want to know the reason, I suggest you go to Mohe and take a look at the Daxinganling Fire Memorial Hall. Take a look at the young soldiers who rushed to the fire, the shovels they used, the burnt clothes, and the photos they left behind. Maybe You will understand that there are many things in the world, but there is actually no reason. We and them are different, that’s all.

Nelson said meaningfully: “The world often does not pay much attention to materials science, but as the cornerstone of industry, once new materials are born, they are likely to change the entire world. This is like people in the Bronze Age accidentally inventing iron-making technology. What will follow is bound to be a disruption.”

Durand’s eyes widened immediately, “Do you think Kunlun Company’s X series fibers have the potential to subvert the chemical fiber industry?”

Nelson raised his head and said seriously: “It’s not that I think it, but it’s already happening. In just six months, our COOLMAX, Toray’s Softwarm, Asahi Kasei’s Thermogea, too many of the top fiber technologies that originally monopolized the market have been replaced by Kunlun. The company was overturned, and recently there was even news of Toyobo’s bankruptcy.”

“From X1 to X2, those Chinese people have attacked the largest-selling chemical fiber products on the market one by one, and so far they have not met any rival.”

“What’s next? Will the reinforced version and derivative version of X fiber enter more fields? For example, the rubber industry, tire industry, medical industry, and military industry?”

“You see it’s just a small fiber? But it’s very possible that it is the cornerstone of subverting the world! After all, no one knows how many derivative technologies can be developed based on X-fiber.”

Nelson’s words shocked Durand. X fiber is not terrible. The key is that this super honeycomb structure fiber has unimaginable huge potential and may shine in more industries in the future.

Suddenly, Nelson’s cell phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen, then frowned and said to Durand, “It’s our research center in China.”

To be fair, the DuPont Group is not without reason. They pay more attention to research and development than people think. Not to mention the testing institutions all over the world, in Shanghai, China alone, they have a large research center and eight laboratories, employing hundreds of doctors and above. Ranked elite researcher.

Durand watched from the sidelines, and Nelson’s increasingly serious face showed that things might not be simple.

Finally, Nelson hung up the phone and gave a tired, wry smile.

“What did I just say?” Nelson scratched his hair and said: “Kunlun Company’s X3 fiber has been put on the market in large quantities. It is an elastic fiber that is diametrically opposed to our Lycra fiber, but its performance is far better than Lycra. According to preliminary calculations by our laboratory in China, the overall performance is about three times that of Leica.”

Durand could hardly believe his ears. History was repeating itself again. At the end of summer, Kunlun Company launched X1 fiber, which defeated DuPont COOLMAX.

When winter came, Kunlun Company launched the X3 model again, targeting Lycra, the king of spandex, and DuPont became the target of attack again.

Is this the rhythm of hatred?

Nelson paused and then said: “What’s even more frightening is that in addition to measuring the performance of X3 fiber, the Huaxia Laboratory also received a piece of gossip.”

“It is rumored that Kunlun Company has developed a bulletproof fiber called Silver Frost based on X3. Its performance is far better than our Kevlar, and even exceeds the third generation PE bulletproof fiber. It is currently preparing for large-scale production. Woolen cloth.”

“Given our current sworn enemy relationship with China, this news may have made those in the Pentagon furious.”

Phew~

Durand took a breath, and he finally understood why Nelson was so worried.

The prophecy is coming true step by step. X-fiber replicates crazily like a virus, mutates, changes from one model to two models, and then from two models to three models, until it forms a legion and destroys the original system and rules of the world.

You know, Kunlun Company has only entered the chemical fiber industry for half a year!

They have already forced Toyo Textile Group to death, and have also entered the military industry market and become PLA’s supplier of winter clothing and body armor!

Such a development speed is simply inhuman!

COOLMAX, Lycra, Kevlar, in the blink of an eye, three generals were lost in a row!

Although the DuPont Group is rich and is known as the King of Chemical Fibers, how many rounds of attacks can it withstand?

“Too cruel…these damn Chinese!” Durand clenched his hands into fists and roared angrily.

…

Ah sneeze~

Suddenly, Gao Yuan sneezed. He walked to the air conditioner and touched the air outlet with his hand.

The warm air is still strong, but it’s a pity that my office is a little larger, and the sealing is not particularly good. The indoor temperature is completely incomparable with heated rooms in the north.

This place used to be a textile fabric factory, and the conditions were indeed a bit crude.

Returning to his desk, Gao Yuan stared at the content on the screen, checking for typos with a very serious attitude.

After all, the paper was to be shown to peers across the country, and there were so many pairs of eyes staring at it. Gao Yuan was a shameless person after all, and he didn’t want to make a fool of himself in front of others.

As for why it was only shown to colleagues across the country and not around the world, the reason was simple. Because Gao Yuan’s paper on X-fiber was written in Chinese, whether foreign colleagues could understand it was not within his scope of consideration.

Rubbing his dry eyes, Gao Yuan clicked the mouse to save the paper, and then after thinking about it, he opened the homepage of the material forum.
