Deep analysis of technological breakthroughs (Key Breakthroughs)


Extreme environmental adaptability
Antarctic OTEC Foundation: Biomimetic concrete resistant to strong ocean current corrosion (pH>10.5), with a service life of up to 60 years.
Lunar simulation block: vacuum curing process achieves a strength of 45MPa in a -150 ° C environment, supporting the construction of extraterrestrial bases.


High value utilization of waste
Copper tailings paving stone: Chilean mining waste conversion, heavy metal leaching amount<0.01ppm (below EPA standard).
Waist fruit shell grey concrete: replacing cement with agricultural waste in West Africa to address concerns about radioactive pollution (Ra-226 ≤ 0.2Bq/g).


Intelligent response materials
Self cooling exterior wall: Titanium dioxide coating reflects 96% of solar radiation, reducing air conditioning energy consumption in desert buildings by 35%.
Anti icing bridge deck: Phase change materials release latent heat at -5 ° C, delaying the freezing of Nordic bridges by 8 hours.


Disaster resilience construction
Wildfire Protection School: Basalt fiber modules withstand high temperatures of 1200 ° C for 2 hours (FRL 240 standard) to ensure emergency shelter.
Typhoon module house: Interlocking structure can withstand strong winds of 250km/h and support rapid resettlement within 48 hours after the disaster in the Philippines.
