Chapter 622 - Room-temperature superconducting materials
Leisurely days always go by quickly.
After the Lantern Festival, Su Yang stayed in Jianghai City for a few more days.
On March 1, he returned to Yanjing by private jet.
Only Su Weiwei and Qiao Xiaoqi accompanied them, as for Yu Yuejiao and Yu Yuechan, they arrived in Yanjing ahead of schedule as early as February.
After leaving the airport, Su Yang asked his sister and Xiao Qi to go back to the villa first, and he quickly came to the headquarters of Yuanyang Group by car.
In a clean and bright reception room, Su Yang shook hands with Director Xu of the Bureau of Science and Industry.
After the two exchanged polite exchanges, Director Xu cut directly to the point: "Mr. Su, it's really a bit presumptuous to come and disturb you when you just returned to Yanjing this time, but the situation is urgent, please forgive me." ”
"You're welcome. What's going on, Director Xu, just say it. Su Yang waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Director Xu frowned slightly and said: "According to the news, Mr. Su, when you were in the United States last year, a Chinese named Li Ruidong sold you a scientific research result, and you refused, right?"
Su Yang's eyes moved, and he smiled: "There is such a thing, what else?"
Director Xu said: "Someone sent us the news, saying that Li Ruidong organized the research of room-temperature superconducting material experiments, and a major breakthrough is about to be made. ”
"If nothing else, the leading scholars who participated in this experiment can at least be nominated for the Nobel Prize, or even win the Nobel Prize directly, of course, that will be a matter for later. ”
Su Yang chuckled and said, "Experiment with room-temperature superconducting materials?" ”
"Yes. Director Xu said: "It is a special double-layer graphene, graphene itself has very strong conductivity, its electron mobility is less affected by temperature changes, however, there is still a certain distance from superconductivity, about how Li Ruidong and others at room temperature, graphene superconductivity, is still a mystery." ”
Su Yang said: "Actually, I still don't understand why Director Xu came to me in person, do you want to make sure that I rejected Li Ruidong, or?"
Director Xu was silent for a moment and said: "Superconducting materials have always been one of the main high-end materials in the world, and room temperature superconductivity is the most cutting-edge scientific research goal. ”
"The special graphene of Li Ruidong's laboratory, as the most likely experimental result of room-temperature superconductivity in this century, is of great importance. ”
"Our people have been in contact with Li Ruidong, and he said that as long as you are willing to apologize to him, he can resell the relevant scientific research materials to us. ”
When Su Yang heard this, he laughed: "Then what do you mean, Director Xu, you want me to apologize to him and admit my mistakes?"
Director Xu shook his head and said: "No, as a representative entrepreneur in China, you are also the face of the country, although he Li Ruidong has Chinese blood in his bones and is emotionally Chinese, he is no longer legally Chinese." ”
Director Xu came to talk to Su Yang, of course, not to ask him to apologize to Li Ruidong.
What are you kidding, the richest man in the world, the face of a Chinese, actually wants to bow to an unknown American?
If he really did this, Director Xu could imagine that in less than half an hour, someone in the inner courtyard would call and scold him.
The scolding is still good, and if the situation is serious, it is not too much to go home directly for the elderly.
Director Xu: "Right now, the materials industry in the United States is very noisy, and superconductivity research is pursuing Li Ruidong's experimental research. What I want to know is, Mr. Su, when you talked to Li Ruidong, did you read that information, and their research progress reached that level?"
Su Yang thought about it for a moment and said: "When I watched it last year, it was close to room temperature superconductivity, and now since there is a commotion in the American materials industry, it means that it has been successful." ”
"Has it been successful?" Alas......" Director Xu's brows furrowed, he didn't question Su Yang's speculation, and let out a sigh from his mouth.
Su Yang said: "However, graphene is very difficult to prepare, especially the preparation of special graphene with superconducting properties, even if the process accuracy of the United States is the world's top, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars per gram." ”
Therefore, even if Li Ruidong succeeds, it can only be used in experiments, and cannot be put into the field of military defense. ”
"Just like the moon landing program, although the United States had the ability to land on the moon decades ago, because it could not get real benefits from the moon landing program, huge investments, tens of billions of dollars were thrown down, in exchange for an economic bubble, which eventually led to the fact that they had to stop the project for forty or fifty years. ”
"The same goes for special graphene, which has superconductivity, so don't be too anxious, Director Xu. ”
Director Xu was silent for a long time and said, "Even so, they are already a big step ahead of us in the experimental field." Over the years, Chinese scholars have also been studying similar projects. ”
"Once people were ahead, the patent barrier was erected, and many years of efforts were in vain, which greatly hit the enthusiasm and confidence of researchers, and they will be subject to others everywhere in this area in the future. ”
Director Xu said worriedly: "Although in the past two years, as your group has emerged internationally and the country has become stronger and stronger, it is precisely because of this that Western countries have become more and more afraid of us. ”
"Now, we are on the cusp of the wind, facing all countries, and if we are a little weak, we will be attacked by the crowd and reap a lot of benefits from us. ”
"And the breakthrough of cutting-edge scientific research and technology is a very sharp and effective knife, which makes countries jealous at the same time, but also can win us enough allies. ”
"But once the cutting-edge technology is mastered by the countries on the other side of the Pacific, then ......"
Regarding the national events in Director Xu's mouth, after Su Yang heard it, he smiled and did not comment.
Su Yang said: "Actually, Director Xu, even if the United States has mastered the special graphene with room-temperature superconducting properties, I don't think it's a big deal." ”
Director Xu wanted to refute, but Su Yang smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly......"
"Graphene is a standard nanoscale process material, which is several times more difficult than making chips, so if the United States and other countries want to reap the benefits of graphene, they must invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in research. ”
Su Yang said: "According to my guess, in the next twenty years, it is impossible to play with graphene, unless there is an unconventional technological explosion on their side." ”
"As for the use of cutting-edge room-temperature superconducting materials to establish a scientific and technological reputation in the world, I don't think it is a reliable thing to rely on a person who has changed his nationality to an American nationality. ”
"Now is not the last century, in the last century, our country was weak, the scientific research strength was insufficient, and the reserves of theoretical knowledge were even more stretched, and people were needed to go to Western countries to sacrifice themselves and feed the country. ”
"But now, hehe, to put it mildly, these people are simply admiring the foreign, and they will drill wherever it is good, even if they don't admit it, they are forgetting their ancestors. ”
"However, the development of our country in recent years has not been weak, especially in terms of business evolution, we have been ahead of the United States, and living in the United States is not necessarily better than that of China. ”
Director Xu smiled bitterly: "What you said is true, the development of the country over the years has indeed made us proud." But we must also recognize the reality, the gap between us and the United States and other Western countries is still huge, this is a fact that cannot be ignored, after all, the foundation is still behind. ”
"Moreover, the problem now is that Li Ruidong's side has mastered the technology of room-temperature superconducting materials and occupies the absolute initiative in this regard, and we are now very passive......"
The corners of Su Yang's lips lifted slightly, and he chuckled: "Absolutely? ”
