Chapter 483 Taobao

Li Zhiyang took Nancy to Boston the next day, but fortunately, both cities are on the east coast of the United States, and the distance is not very far, so there is no need to take a plane...

Besides, now, Li Zhiyang also thinks that this is very good, at least he and Nancy can waste a little time on the road, and they don't have to go early and return early as his mother-in-law hopes.

Li Zhiyang and Nancy arrived in Boston that day, but Li Zhiyang was not in a hurry to find that John. Anderson, instead, was in a hotel with Nancy and had a good night's rest.

The next day, Li Zhiyang, under the leadership of Nancy, had a good day of shopping in Boston, the last time they came, because they happened to meet Cao Guang, so they didn't have a good visit to Boston at all, and this time they came to make up for the regret of the last time!

After a day of shopping in Boston, Li Zhiyang contacted John. Anderson, on the phone, the better it is, to meet at a café next to the North Shore Garden Arena.

At noon, Li Zhiyang rushed to the café with Nancy, Nancy is undoubtedly an eye-catching figure wherever she goes, and Li Zhiyang is not bad, who is not a handsome guy, but if he dresses up carefully, he is definitely a photogenic man.

The two of them walking together are definitely people with a high return rate, of course Nancy likes this feeling, but for Li Zhiyang, an old man from the Celestial Empire, he feels a little uncomfortable

As soon as the two of them arrived at the café and sat down, a waiter came up to help them order, this café not only bought some coffee, but also bought a lot of food.

Neither of them had lunch, so they both ordered lunch, and as soon as the waiter left, a man with a Celtics team hat walked up to their table and asked.

"May I ask if Mr. Li is a microservice?"

Li Zhiyang looked up and saw that this guy was quiet and quiet, a slender strip, not as big as ordinary Americans, he was not short, but he was very thin

He has a little beard, but he still wears a pair of glasses, and the clothes on his body are also very ordinary sportswear, but he hasn't washed it for a long time, and it looks a little dirty.

Last time, Cao Guang introduced Li Zhiyang to the personnel in his scientific research team, but this Anderson happened to have something to do at that time, so Li Zhiyang did not have any impression of this Anderson.

"Yes, I am. ”

Li Zhiyang guessed that the guy in front of him was probably that Anderson.

"Hello, Mr. Lee, I am John. Anderson, I think Mr. Cao mentioned me to you. ”

This guy stretched out his hand and introduced himself, and sure enough, Li Zhiyang thought about it, so he also stood up and shook hands with him. Then Li Zhiyang hurriedly beckoned him to sit down and asked.

"What do you want to do with Weifu?"

"Oh, that's right, I didn't have lunch either, I want a salmon sandwich and double the latte"

This Anderson was really polite, Li Zhiyang called the waiter again and told the waiter about Anderson's needs.

The meal came up quickly, and this Anderson was not polite, and soon devoured it, Li Zhiyang and Nancy looked at each other, after all, such an impolite person is really rare abroad.

What's more, this Anderson's eating appearance is really ugly enough, it doesn't sound good, and the food is like a vicious dog grabbing food, if it weren't for Cao Guang and himself, this Anderson is a rare compound talent, Li Zhiyang really thought that he had met a refugee liar

Anderson ate his share of the sandwich in three bites, and then looked at the smoked fish sandwich in front of Li Zhiyang, Li Zhiyang immediately pushed his share of food in front of this Anderson, this guy was not polite, grabbed it and ate it.

Finally waited for this guy to finish eating, burping, Li Zhiyang asked with a smile.

"You haven't eaten in a long time, Weifu?"

"I'm so sorry, my image just now is so bad, but I really haven't eaten much in two days"

This Anderson said pitifully.

Wouldn't you, you're also a scientist, how could you be so miserable? Li Zhiyang felt very strange, and Anderson happened to see his strange eyes, so he quickly explained.

"It's all this damn economy, Mr. Li, you know, the current economic situation is very bad"

"Oh, that's true, but I'm weird, you're a mystery scientist anyway, and they'll always pay you, right?"

Li Zhiyang still can't believe it, if this guy is really as capable as Cao Guang said, how can he be so miserable?

"Don't mention that damn school, some time ago, it was the project that a friend of mine and I was researching, and it was at a critical moment, and those damn guys actually said that the economic conditions were deteriorating and the school was going to cut expenses, so they stopped our research funding. My friend and I had no choice, so we had to put money into it ourselves, and our savings were all invested, but Mr. Li, you also know that this scientific research has never been so quick to produce results. But my money was stolen by the Wall Street bastards in the stock market, and the bank took my house, so that's what I'm doing now. ”

Li Zhiyang couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous, this guy is good at scientific research, why do you still learn to play stocks, it seems that this guy is really a bad financial manager, otherwise he wouldn't have lost like this

"Hehe, yes, it's really hard right now"

Li Zhiyang replied with a smile.

"Mr. Li, I'm also desperate, I really need a chance, I heard Cao Guang say, you are very generous to the new scientific research project, so I took the liberty to come to the door, I hope you can help me and my companions through this difficult time"

At this time, Anderson said with some depression.

"Oh, yes, I've always respected scientists, but can you tell us about your research direction?"

Li Zhiyang asked, these Americans always like whimsy, but it is this whimsy that gives these guys unparalleled imagination and creativity.

This is also the reason why some of the great inventions of modern times in the world were made by the Americans.

"Okay, then let me introduce it, in fact, my main research direction is superconductors, but it was because I had an intersection with Cao Guang's project that he recruited me into their project research group. In the beginning, everyone worked together on the issue of improving the efficiency of solar power generation, but then the project was suspended because of the lack of funding. Later, Mr. Li, you appeared, so everyone decided to go to the Celestial Empire to study together. ”

Anderson began to introduce.

"But during this time, a friend of mine happened to find me, and he proposed an idea, that is, to increase the 60 in the original superconducting material by one step to see if there can be a breakthrough as soon as possible. So we were researching together, and then the project was stopped due to economic reasons, so we had to save money to study, and we have made a more perfect 90, and at that time, Mr. Li, after you sent Kyocera's technology on solar energy from the big mud bombardment country, we adjusted the thinking, and carried out a mixing experiment with 90 with rare earth elements, and as a result, we came up with a new superconductor material, and this new material we named 99. ”

This Anderson gave Li Zhiyang a general introduction to his scientific research direction.

When Li Zhiyang heard this, he immediately felt a little shocked, these Americans, you are really too nb, can you make it all out? And there are only two people?

In fact, there is a lot of controversy about superconductivity research in the world

The original motivation of scientists to study superconductors was to reduce the resistance between conductive materials and reduce the loss of power transmission, which later led to many research directions.

However, the research on superconductors is continuing, but there has been no decent breakthrough, and it is not very widely used in people's livelihood

The main reason is that superconductors have too high requirements for the working environment, which are generally required to be within a relative temperature setting range, and the cost is extremely high, so there are not many breakthroughs in people's livelihood use

Others, based on Einstein's theory of relativity, have put forward the idea that the research on superconductors is just a pseudo-proposition of pseudo-scientists, and this scientific research project is as ridiculous as the pursuit of perpetual motion machines by previous scientists

How can there be anything in the world that has absolute resistance, and if there really is such an absolute thing, then Einstein's theory of relativity is absolutely wrong

However, scientists from all over the world have never stopped researching this scientific research direction, especially the scientists in the country of the Great Mud, who are particularly serious about this scientific research project and have great enthusiasm

Several major breakthroughs in the world's superconductor research have also been discovered by scientists in the mud bombing country, and scientists in Europe and the United States have also worked this project and have achieved certain results.

Li Zhiyang is not a scientist and does not know much about this superconductor, but sometimes, he will see more research news about superconductors on the Internet or on TV.

He really didn't know much about this project, and now that Anderson suddenly brought up such a scientific research topic, he was really a little at a loss and dumbfounded

Li Zhiyang has received a materialist education since he was a child, and he is originally an atheist, so he was greatly influenced by Einstein's theory of relativity.

In his previous life, he also saw a debate on the Internet about the research of superconductors, and to be honest, he didn't believe that scientists could find the kind of material that had absolutely no resistance, after all, without the explanation of relativity, there is no absolute thing in this world

It's like gold, even if it is purified several times, no one in the world dares to say that there will be 100% pure gold in the world, and if the purity is high, it will be 99.99%.

If Cao Guang hadn't told him that this guy was a Frankenstein, he would have kicked this guy to the ground a long time ago.

"Well, Mr. Anderson, what are the working conditions of your 99? Is it like other superconductors, which need to be under a certain temperature environment to work?"

Anyway, now that people have said it, then I will simply ask Li Zhiyang who does not know much about superconductors, but he is also a college student in the new era, and he still has a certain understanding of some basic scientific knowledge.

To be honest, Mr. Li, now in the field of superconductivity research, the main problem is that all scientists are looking for a suitable material to reduce the resistance of conductors, so so scientific, rather than physical research, it is more appropriate to say that he is chemical research, because now everyone's research on superconducting materials is mainly focused on materials science, he involves, chemistry and physics have intersecting molecular science, chemical reactions, and physical smelting and so on。 ”

When Anderson talked about his scientific research field, he immediately gushed endlessly, and the more he talked about it, the more excited he became, and his face turned red.

A pair of scientific terms that came out of his mouth quickly fooled Li Zhiyang, but he believed that the research on superconductors that Anderson said should actually be more of a material science

"Then this 99 of yours, is he really a superconductor with absolutely no resistance and can work at room temperature?"

Li Zhiyang asked suspiciously, in fact, just now, when he heard Anderson say that the 99 they studied was not very harsh on the temperature requirements, his heart was already happy, if it wasn't for the image, he wanted to jump up and shout a few loudly.

"Well, of course, it's not so absolute. ”

When Anderson heard Li Zhiyang ask like this, he immediately replied with some surprise.

Damn, aren't you fooling Lao Tzu Weifu? I was overjoyed, how could there be such a thing? When Li Zhiyang heard this, he immediately felt very disappointed

However, although this 99 cannot reach the point where there is absolutely no resistance, but after it is mixed with several groups of special elements in the rare earth, the resistance of the materials made by smelting is indeed extremely low, at least much better than the current ordinary conductor, so it is definitely much more energy-saving than those wires in the function of power transmission, and his resistivity is definitely several times lower than the copper or aluminum used in the current cable. ”

Anderson hurriedly explained to Li Zhiyang, he had just seen a look of disappointment in Li Zhiyang's eyes, for fear that Li Zhiyang would wave his sleeves and leave.

"At present, most of the ultra-high voltage cables used for power transmission are made of copper wires or aluminum wires. However, the power loss is generally 15% for short-distance power transmission, and the general power loss for long-distance transmission will be as high as 60%. That is to say, for example, if we generate electricity in Boston, if we send electricity to Washington, then we will generate 100 percent of the electricity, but in the end, Washington can only use 40 percent, and 60 percent of the electricity is lost in the process. However, if we use the 99 we studied as the carrier, then this efficiency can be increased to at least 80 percent, which means that the homeopathy will be reduced to 20 percent."

Anderson saw that Li Zhiyang still didn't know much about it, so he hurriedly explained it to him.

"What?

When Li Zhiyang heard this, he almost didn't jump up from his chair, so nb? Could it be that he really has stepped on all the shit in the world, and such good shit luck has been met by himself?

"Yes, what I said is true, scientists in the world have been studying superconductors for decades, but until now everyone has been hitting the rocks on superconductor materials. Some superconductors are too expensive to be used in large quantities, others are too complex to make, and some are too large to be miniaturized. For example, superconductor cables, many countries in the world are researching, the United States is the first in the world, but we can only manufacture superconducting cables for a few hundred meters, because the ductility and plasticity of those superconductors are very problematic, and the cost is very high. However, most of them rarely use neodymium iron or barium, lanthanum copper oxide, and other superconducting materials to make thin films, and then attach to the conductor to make superconductors, and our 99 is completely through high-power laser bombardment of graphite, gasification and then after a series of refining, to form a stable atomic structure of carbon elements. After that, it undergoes various chemical reactions with various trace elements in rare earths, smelts and combines to form a new type of superconductor material. ”

Anderson explained a lot to Li Zhiyang, but for Li Zhiyang, it was completely a chicken-and-duck story, how could he know what neodymium iron and what barium, lanthanum and copper.

His mind is now full of what Anderson just said, this material can reduce the loss of long-distance power transmission to twenty percent Li Zhiyang At this time, it seemed that he saw a mountain of gold sitting in front of him, and he couldn't listen to what Anderson said later

"By the way, Anderson, will your 99 production cost be very high?"

Li Zhiyang suddenly remembered this, he is a businessman, as an investor, of course he hopes that the output cost of his investment project is lower, the better

He had just heard that Anderson mention lasers and the like, these are not cheap things, and if the cost of this 99 is too high, then there is nothing worth investing in

Li Zhiyang's heart couldn't help but hang again

Hey, they're still talking about it, so I can only send it at a fixed point in the company, and I don't know when it will be fixed
