The most common alloys used in the base are lightweight, strong, and can withstand high temperatures and extreme cold.
"A boiling point alloy?" Lin Wei frowned. "This stuff is too hard, how can it be made into clothes?"
"It's not pure!" Xiaoxue quickly explained, "We can mix boiling point alloys with other flexible materials to synthesize a new alloy fabric!"
"It's lightweight, durable, and insulated!"
Lin Wei's eyes lit up instantly.
She grabbed the boiling point alloy and rubbed it repeatedly in her hand.
Yes.
Pure boiling point alloys are too hard to be shaped.
But what if it's mixed with flexible materials to make composite materials?
It might actually work.
"Test it immediately!" Lin Wei stood up, her voice trembling slightly.
This is the only way at the moment.
The entire research team got busy again.
Proportioning, smelting, pressing, shaping.
The proportions were adjusted repeatedly.
If you fail, try again.
Someone was so tired that they fell asleep on the table.
I woke up, washed my face, and kept working.
The inhabitants of the fortress were all waiting for their good news.
This is more than just a piece of clothing.
They are the hope of the entire base.
a week later.
When the first new piece of alloy fabric was taken out of the press.
The entire research institute erupted in cheers.
This is a piece of silvery-white fabric with a soft sheen.
When you touch it, it feels as light and thin as silk, yet it also has a heavy, substantial texture.
The testing equipment showed that the material has a heat resistance of 300 degrees Celsius, a tensile strength five times that of the old spacesuit material, and is waterproof, wear-resistant, and lightweight, fully meeting the requirements.
The emergence of boiling point composite fibers has solved the most critical problem.
What followed was perfectly logical.
The research institute's workshops are operating at full capacity, cutting, sewing, and installing micro generators and temperature control systems.
The micro-wind generator was folded to the size of a button and tucked inside the collar.
The original batteries have been replaced with improved high-efficiency photovoltaic energy storage modules.
It can be charged as long as there is light, completely eliminating the hassle of frequently changing batteries.
The base has a population of over 10,000, so at least 10,000 air-conditioned suits need to be made to ensure that each person has one.
Then we also need to consider the issue of wear and tear.
However, Zhou Shuwan and his team brought back a considerable amount of hot spring minerals, more than enough to build another semi-aerial fortress.
Therefore, as long as there are hot spring minerals, boiling point alloys can be refined.
New types of air-conditioned clothing can also be made.
Three days later, the first batch of new air-conditioned clothing rolled off the production line.
It was white, pure white, and dazzlingly bright in the sunlight.
This color was chosen intentionally so that it would be easily spotted on the dazzling sea.
The first group to try them on were Qi Mingyu and his teammates.
Qi Mingyu picked up a set, weighed it in his hand, and found it to be very light.
Wearing it feels like wearing a one-piece trench coat, without the heavy, restrictive feeling of the old model.
He pressed the switch, and a cool breeze rushed out from the air duct of the inner lining, instantly dispelling the heat on his body.
The temperature on the display screen remained stable at 26°C, so comfortable that one almost forgot that it was a 90-degree inferno outside.
He led his team out of the fortress.
Hot air rushed in, but was firmly blocked by the boiling point composite fiber.
The surface of the garment was scorching hot, but the lining remained cool.
Someone couldn't resist reaching out and touching the puddle on the ground. The water in the puddle was still steaming, but through a thin layer of cloth, it didn't feel hot at all.
"That's great!" one team member couldn't help but laugh. "Even if the temperature rises further, we won't be afraid!"
Qi Mingyu smiled and strode towards the sea.
Despite the bumpy road beneath their feet, he and his teammates walked steadily.
After Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu returned home, the whole family gathered around to visit.
Zhou Jianghai leaned forward, poked the fabric, and exclaimed in surprise, "So light?"
Zhong Tiyun also touched it, and nodded with a smile: "It looks thin, but I didn't expect it to be so sturdy."
Mu Mu added from the side, "This material is a new material made from boiling point alloys and fabrics, called boiling point composite fiber. It's also coated with a special high-temperature resistant coating, so 90 degrees Celsius is no problem for it. Moreover, it contains a micro wind turbine and a photovoltaic energy storage module, so we'll hardly need to replace the battery so often in the future!"
“Temperature adjustment is also much more convenient than before,” Qi Mingyu added, pointing to the knob on his wrist.
Zhou Shuwan exclaimed in admiration, "The people at the research institute are truly amazing."
The family gathered around the air conditioner, chatting and laughing.
The hot wind outside the window was still howling, and the sound of the waves grew louder and louder.
No one noticed that the color of the sea had become somewhat strange.
The seawater at 90 degrees Celsius is no longer the usual azure blue.
Near the shore, the seawater was a murky, milky white, like boiling rice porridge, bubbling with fine bubbles.
A thin layer of steam floated on the water, carrying a pungent, salty smell. It drifted into the air and blended with the gray sky, obscuring the sun and leaving only a blurry halo around it.
When the waves crashed over, they no longer made a crisp splashing sound, but rather a dull "hissing" sound.
It's like scalding water being poured onto a red-hot iron plate.
The seawater that crashed onto the reefs didn't have time to recede before it was evaporated into white smoke by the high temperature and dissipated in an instant.
There was not a trace of life on the sea.
No seabirds flew by, no fish leaped, and even the driftwood and seaweed that could be seen occasionally were nowhere to be found.
Only some unidentified white foam, pushed by the heat waves, drifted aimlessly on the water's surface.
The sea in the distance was even more so.
Water vapor rose, forming a thick, white wall of fog that stretched between heaven and earth.
Within the wall of fog, a few distorted lights occasionally flashed by, like a mirage or some kind of ominous omens.
The wind, carrying heat waves and salty, pungent moisture, rustled against the glass of the aerial fortress.
I don't know who shouted first.
"Look at the sea outside!"
People put down what they were doing and rushed toward the windows.
Faces pressed against the cold glass, gazing at the eerie sea outside.
What began as curiosity quickly turned into shock.
Then came the uncontrollable panic.
Meanwhile, in another room of the fortress.
Xue Wuwen was weaving a fishing net with two children.
She is doing her best to teach her two children her skills.
Although there are only hydrothermal vent fish in the ocean now, there is no need for fishing nets.
However, it will definitely be useful in the future!
Xue Wuwen didn't want her two children to lose the most important skill for survival at sea—the ability to weave fishing nets!
She immediately noticed the unusual situation outside.
She frowned and looked up out the window.
She was stunned at first glance.
That vast expanse of white sea, that wall of fog stretching across the sky and earth, that salty, fishy smell permeating the air.
It was like a key that instantly unlocked her long-sealed memories.
Images from my past life flooded back like a tide.
