There are watches worth more than 30 million dollars in the world, such as the Hublot Big Bang watch inlaid with 1,282 diamonds worth 5 million U.S. dollars, such as the Patek Philippe super mechanical pocket watch worth 10 million U.S. dollars, inlaid with a large number of fine colors

The Chopard 2o1 carat diamond watch, with diamonds almost covering the surface, is estimated to be as high as US$30 million.

But these are legendary products. Generally speaking, watches with a million yuan level can become top luxury goods. That’s why Mr. Han was so shocked by Lu Qiujian’s words that he forgot what he emphasized earlier.

"It's a clock, not a watch."

Suddenly he regarded Lu Qiujian as a god-level prodigal who spent his parents' money without feeling any pain. But even if he is a prodigal, he is the only one in the world who spends 30 million on a watch, right? Even those oil princes in the Middle East

You can't do such a thing, right?

It took a long time for Mr. Han to wake up from the shock. His watch-loving nature took over again. He stared at Lu Qiujian and asked, "What kind of clock did you order? Can you take me to see it tomorrow?"

?”

"I'm afraid this won't work. We are a confidential unit and outsiders are not allowed in!" Lu Qiujian replied while suppressing a laugh. The change in his expression just now was so interesting.

"Secret unit?" Mr. Han didn't have time to think about the relationship between the confidential unit and the clock. He continued to ask pitifully, "You can't let me see it. You can always tell me what model it is and what material it is made of, right? If you don't tell me today,

I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep at night!”

"What I bought is just an atomic clock! If you want to buy one, there is one on the market! It's just that my requirements are higher, that's why I spent so much money!" Lu Qiujian, who couldn't bear to tease him anymore, revealed the answer. Modern scientific research

The requirements for measurement accuracy are getting higher and higher, whether it is length, weight or time, and many specialized measurement tools have been born, and the atomic clock is one of them. 1

Of course, what Xihe's plan will use is the highest precision that China's technology can currently achieve. It is reasonable to spend 30 million yuan, and this atomic clock is just a temporary supply during the start-up phase of the plan. He

I also placed an order with higher requirements, but this cannot be completed in a short time. Otherwise, the price will be even more scary.

Mr. Han almost spit out a mouthful of blood. After talking for a long time, it turned out to be this thing! A thing as big as a house is also called a clock? What's the point if you can't wear it on your wrist and show it off? He is so depressed that he can't speak at all.

He just stared at Lu Qiujian and rolled his eyes.

"Haha, am I doing scientific research? Is it necessary to purchase some experimental facilities?" Lu Qiujian looked at him with a smile to himself. He secretly complained in his heart that the most luxurious things in the world are not rich and corrupt officials, princes and young men, but

But we scientists!

Diamonds are an extremely cherished luxury product for you, but in Lavoisier's view, they were nothing more than experimental consumables. He placed diamonds in a glass cover and used a magnifying glass to focus sunlight to burn the diamonds, producing a colorless gas.

By verifying that the gas was carbon dioxide, he proved that diamonds are composed of carbon elements. In this experiment, he consumed enough diamonds to make a hundred brides-to-be so heartbroken that they could not breathe.

For them, silver is an important material for making decorations and decorating rooms, but for scientists, it is just a raw material for wires. In the Manhattan Project of the United States, in order to build a large spin adder, a huge magnetic field coil was needed.

The coils designed by Lorenz are each 8o meters high and require a large amount of silver.

Lorenz found Lieutenant General Groves, commander of the Manhattan Project District, who immediately arranged for his assistant Nicholas to discuss with the Treasury Department; Nicholas went to the Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Bell to explain his purpose, but refused to disclose it.

The purpose is just to emphasize that this is a need for war.

"How much?" asked Bell.

"Six thousand tons" Nicholas replied.

Bell knelt down when he heard this number. At that time, the U.S. Treasury only had a total of 47,000 tons of silver in storage. He said in a slightly lecturing tone, "Young man, you must know that the Treasury uses ounces to calculate silver."

In the end, Bell agreed to the Manhattan Project's requirements and provided a total of 14,700 tons of silver for use by the Manhattan Project, which accounted for almost one-third of the total storage of the U.S. treasury.

Fortunately, the coils can still be recovered, otherwise the U.S. Treasury would have gone bankrupt by providing wire materials for the Manhattan Project. The 14,700 tons of silver were not fully repaid until 197o.

Luvag1io uses marble, genuine leather and natural wood, plus expensive metals and multiple sets of rhombus diamonds and rare color diamonds to create ultra-luxury laptops worth millions of dollars, while ultra-high-end computers used by scientists are usually priced in hundreds of millions.

.

Opening the list of the most expensive substances in the world, the top ones are all those rare elements that scientists play with. For example, plutonium, tritium, californium, etc. A few grams of it is enough to buy a pile of gold! Not to mention the

According to the plan, it will cost nearly US$6 billion to produce one hundred billionth of a gram of antimatter.

US$6 billion is exactly the entire assets of Jack Taylor, who ranked 100th on the Forbes list last year. This means that the entire wealth of the world's 100th richest man is only enough to produce one hundred billionth of a gram of antimatter; so

He said that you should never show off your luxury in front of scientists. Maybe any piece of equipment in their laboratory can equal your entire wealth.

After being hit by this, Mr. Han left angrily. Lu Qiujian took Xia Xiao to his home. After dinner, the two of them were watching TV on the sofa. Xia Xiao was still thinking about what happened just now, "That atomic clock is really

Is it so expensive?”

"Yes!" Lu Qiujian pinched her nose and told her about the working principle of the atomic clock, "This very small thrust will lift the cesium atomic balloon upward through a microwave cavity filled with microwaves, and then the cesium atom balloon will

The atomic ball absorbed enough energy and began to fall downward, passing through the microwave cavity again and releasing all the absorbed energy."

Lu Qiujian put her on his lap and sat down facing him, "Just repeat the up and down movements many times, and you can determine the precise time!"

Hey, why did he feel so dirty when he said such a serious topic? Xia Xiao didn't know why his face started to get hot. This was what Lu Qiujian wanted, so he took advantage of the situation and removed those troubling things.

Due to the fabric's difficulty in accurately measuring time, he began to stuff his own atomic balls into Xia Xiao's microwave cavity to simulate the operation of an atomic clock. (To be continued.)
