I am inventing at the highest level in the world

Chapter 111 Ceramic Armor [Seeking follow-up reading]

"Old Wang, stop collecting money."

Gu Nan shouted, walked out of the house and met Wang Jinyang.

"Are there any ceramic-like objects in the house you looted?"

Wang Jinyang nodded and said, "Yes."

But he did not collect any of the items. The ceramics in the cave were too ugly. Even if he brought them back to Earth to sell, no one would buy them at even one dollar each.

Gu Nan was overjoyed, as this meant that there was definitely a kaolin mine in this village.

"While there is still time, go to the back and find the location of the kaolin mine."

After Gu Nan finished speaking, he pulled Wang Jinyang and ran to the back of the village.

After searching around for a while, Gu Nan finally touched the white and fine kaolin.

“What a nice touch!”

"Old Wang, hurry up and dig a bag and take it back."

Hearing this, Lao Wang took out a new bag and started digging.

Soon, Gu Nan and Wang Jinyang each carried a bag of soil and a bag of spoils and started running towards Donglin City.

The night is the world of monsters and beasts, and the roars are endless. Even though Gu Nan and Wang Jinyang did not run to the mountains and bushes, they could still feel the roars right beside them.

Although there were constant roaring sounds, there was never any demon beast below the sixth rank to deliver food to them, nor was there any demon beast above the sixth rank.

Soon, the two of them ran to the foot of Donglin City.

The soldiers guarding the city were stunned to see Gu Nan and Wang Jinyang each carrying two large bags.

If they remembered correctly, Gu Nan and Wang Jinyang went out in the afternoon, but they came back in the evening with two big bags of stuff! ?

"What are you doing here?"

Gu Nan waved his hand to indicate that it was not worth mentioning: "I dug some soil."

"???"

Digging?

While everyone was confused, Gu Nan and Lao Wang carried their things into the city.

Wang Jinyang took the collected things and went straight to the logistics department, while Gu Nan returned to his residence carrying two large bags of soil.

As soon as he returned to his residence, Gu Nan rubbed his hands happily, and at the same time secretly greeted the people in the scientific research department in his heart.

There is kaolin in the cave, but I have never seen it in any books, nor have I ever heard anyone talk about it.

Logically, he had read quite a few books about the catacombs, but he had never seen one about this.

"No wonder the technology in the areas of qi, blood and energy has been so poor." Gu Nan couldn't help but complain. Kaolin is a resource that can be used in national defense. It can be found in airplanes, armor, and so on.

He just didn't believe that after all these years of humans fighting the caves, no researcher had discovered something like cave ceramics.

If no one really notices...then just assume he said nothing.

With kaolin, Gu Nan can make ceramic armor, and not just ordinary ceramic armor.

The characteristics of ordinary ceramic armor are high hardness, but it is easy to break. When it breaks, it absorbs energy to reduce the damage of bullets to the human body. At the same time, this kind of ceramic armor needs to be restrained, otherwise the durability of breaking will decrease quickly.

However, if the internal structure of the ceramic is changed, the grains inside the ceramic become smaller and the bonds become stronger, the ceramic will become tougher.

Tough ceramics are also used to make knives, armor, engines, etc., and can be said to be a very important resource.

In addition to ductile ceramics, there is also a type of piezoelectric ceramic that has energy conversion function.

If the two types of ceramics can be combined, then ceramic armor would be really cool.

Moreover, the kaolin in the cave has energy particles. Even if it is very small, it is definitely many times better than the kaolin on Earth. Gu Nan couldn't help but smile as he imagined the appearance of the ceramic armor in his mind.

If ceramic armor works, it will be his most amazing invention so far.

Ceramic armor can block bullets. No matter how powerful the bullets are, they are at least slightly more powerful than the killer weapon of a second-grade warrior.

Moreover, ceramics used in tanks can block missiles.

If the kaolin in the underground cave can be used to make tough ceramics and piezoelectric ceramic armor, it is very likely that it can block attacks from the sixth and seventh grades.

Gu Nan did what he said. After putting the kaolin in the dormitory, he ran to the logistics department.

When he arrived at the logistics department, Wang Jinyang had just finished changing his things. Seeing Gu Nan coming, Old Wang smiled happily.

"Gu Nan, we made hundreds of millions this time."

He made a lot of money from energy stones alone, and as for the energy hearts, Gu Nan took them all.

Gu Nan stretched out his fingers and waved them left and right: "Don't be so careless. We will make a lot of money."

"Oh? Tell me in detail." Old Zhang chuckled. He also wanted to know how Gu Nan made such a fortune.

Gu Nan chuckled and didn't elaborate, but asked, "Is there a device for melting ceramics here?"

Old Zhang shook his head: "There is no such thing. If you want to make ceramics, you have to go to the surface."

Gu Nan nodded, it seemed that he needed to leave the cave.

I didn't expect that less than a day after going down into the cave, he would have to return to the surface. It was too fast.

"Old Wang, let's go and carry the soil back to the surface. We can go down to the cave anytime anyway."

"Okay." Wang Jinyang guessed that Gu Nan was going to invent ceramics. If Gu Nan made such an invention alone, he would be exhausted, so he would definitely need his help.

To convert ceramics into ductile or piezoelectric ceramics, they must first be fiberized.

There are usually two basic guiding ideas for ceramic fiberization: one is to directly use the target ceramic material as the starting material, melt-spin at high temperature in the glassy state and cool and solidify it, or to spin it into fibers through the action of spinning aids and then sinter it at high temperature.

The second method is to utilize a precursor (which may be an inorganic precursor or an organic polymer precursor) containing the target element and which can be cracked to obtain the target ceramic, and then to obtain fibers through dry or wet spinning and high-temperature cracking.

Gu Nan decided to take the first option, as the second option was a bit difficult.

After carrying the high-grade soil, Gu Nan and Wang Jinyang returned to the surface.

After returning to the surface, Gu Nan called Guo Yan. Since Guo Yan was not in Donglin City, he must be in the surface military camp.

"You want to make equipment for ceramics?" Guo Yan was puzzled.

"Commander Guo, let me tell you something quietly. It's about the armor. You'll know once I make it."

When he heard that it was about armor, Guo Yan became serious and immediately sent someone to get the best equipment and materials for Gu Nan.

When the equipment and materials arrived, Gu Nan was stunned.

With such great equipment, has no one ever thought of trying ceramic nails?
However, the efficient application of piezoelectric ceramics and ductile ceramics will only be 10 years away.

Gu Nan was not in a hurry. Instead, he bought a lot of books about ceramics and wrote down his ideas in a notebook.

Wang·Xueba·Jin Yang was the one who explained the theory, while Gu Nan was the one who did the practice.

Ceramic armor is definitely not made of just ceramics. Gu Nan also added technological fibers and alloy fragments into it.

Ordinary ceramic armor eliminates the energy of external attacks by partially breaking, but after partial breaking, the armor will break if the broken part is attacked again.

So Gu Nan stacked up the layers: fibers, ceramics, alloy fragments, fibers, ceramics... five or six layers in total.

Don’t think that ceramics are too thick. The size of ceramics that are really used in national defense are nano-level technology.

Although Gu Nan's current ceramic nail does not reach the nano level, it is also quite thin.
