Chapter 91: Witnessing a Miracle
When busy at work, time flies very quickly, and before you know it, the light of day is slowly projected into the laboratory, and layers of crystals that meet the requirements are filtered out and collected into a small container.
The melting point of the required crystal was also calculated by Wang Yinan and Li Wenjing according to the new lattice frequency theory, 320 degrees Celsius, and the Gödel system calculated the result with an error of less than 0.5 percent.
In the morning, Qian Zhonghua and Zhang Qi, who got the news, also rushed to the company, and came with Zhang Qi, as well as Deng Ruoyan, the two acted together to show Yu Guangwei and a group of people in the negotiation of the acquisition of Liyang Factory, and the cooperation was still very good.
Seeing that success was just around the corner, the whole company was like a chicken blood, everyone didn't feel a little sleepy, even Qian Zhonghua started to fight in a hurry, serving tea and pouring water for the researcher, at this time Wang Yinan's mobile phone rang, it was a call request from prestige, and when he saw that it was from Zhou Hui, Wang Yinan hurriedly connected the conversation.
"When did you come back, I wanted to ask you a few times a while ago, but my prestige was not online, and the phone couldn't get through",
"I thought you were missing",
"I didn't bring my mobile phone to shoot on location last night, and I only saw your news today", in the prestige, Zhou Hui didn't mean to complain at all, Wang Yinan himself felt a little uncomfortable, the company's people, including Deng Ruoyan, knew that he went to Hong Kong Island (of course, the subsequent trip to the rice country was for safety reasons, only Qian Zhonghua knew), in Zhou Hui's eyes, he disappeared for several weeks at once.
"Are you busy today", Wang Yinan decided to compensate Zhou Hui, speaking of compensation, what is more meaningful than an opportunity to witness history.
"It's not a big deal, I asked a few friends to go shopping in the afternoon",
"If you can, can you tell them to change the time?" , Wang Yinan asked,
"What, what's the important thing?" , Zhou Hui quickly realized something,
"Is your superconductivity research progressing?" ,
"More progress than your most daring imagination, do you want to witness history?" , Wang Yinan said,
"Address", Zhou Hui's answer was concise and to the point.
"You take a taxi to No. 28 XX Road in the western suburbs, call me at the door, and I will pick you up, otherwise you won't be able to come in."
Zhou Hui came quickly, half an hour later, Wang Yinan received a call to pick up Zhou Hui at the gate, and saw the murderous garrison passing by the battalion, as well as the HQ air defense missiles pointing to the sky. It wasn't until Wang Yinan's SUV drove into the courtyard gate of Ronghe Company that he said weakly, "Your level of secrecy is too scary, right?"
"No wonder Zhao Gongzi threatened to make your company unstable, you didn't pay attention to him, such a level of secrecy, even if you borrow a hundred guts from him, it is estimated that he will not dare to let people seal your company."
Zhou Hui also participated in the annual meeting of Rong and the company, for most of the employees, it is an acquaintance, seeing Zhou Hui walk into the laboratory, in addition to a few new school interns in the eyes of a few little stars, Rong and the company's people also looked at Wang Yinan a few more times, of course, Li Wenjing and Deng Ruoyan, thinking that the capable can do anything, the boss is not only strong in science, but also the skill of stepping on a few boats is not comparable to ordinary people.
At noon, he didn't care about finding a place to eat, so Zhang Zifeng asked the canteen to be prepared and placed in a corner of the laboratory, and when he was hungry, he went to eat by himself. There are no girls to work in the laboratory, so Li Wenjing, Deng Ruoyan and Zhou Hui, and of course, Sun Xiaozi and Zhang Zifeng sat together and chatted.
There are always countless topics for girls to talk about, looking at the pile of chatter, the movements of the scientific research dogs working in the laboratory are a little brisk.
The time slowly came to the afternoon, and the layers of dark yellow crystals in the container had already accumulated a thick chunk, "It's almost time", Wang Yinan clapped his hands, "Let's witness the miracle together."
Wang Yinan took out a graphite crucible, put the dark yellow crystal into it, in order to avoid oxidation reaction again, the melting process is best carried out in a vacuum environment, Wang Yinan put the crucible into the vacuum furnace, and then pumped out the air, when the air pressure dropped below one atmosphere, pressed the heating switch.
Through the quartz glass of the vacuum furnace, you can observe the state of the crucible, as calculated, when the temperature in the vacuum furnace rises to 320 degrees Celsius, the crystals begin to melt, maintain the temperature at 320 degrees Celsius for a few minutes, let the crystals fully melt, Wang Yinan took out the crucible with pliers, and then carefully poured the melted crystals into the mold of the cuboid.
As the temperature slowly decreased, a rectangular oxide crystal sheet solidified little by little, "like a big gold bar," Zhou Hui muttered on the side,
"This is much more valuable than gold bars," said Wang Yinan, "and the words "Rong" and "Production" should be engraved in the mold.
Seeing that this "gold bar", to be precise, should be a thin piece of titanium-calcium copper oxide cooled to room temperature, Wang Yinan put on gloves, took it out, put it in a glassware, and then connected the electrodes with duckbill pliers at both ends.
"Let's measure the resistance at room temperature first", Wang Yinan said, "Wen Jing, what is our theoretical value",
"The resistivity is 0.017 microohms, the length of our mold is 2 centimeters, and the cross-sectional area should be 0.1 centimeters times 0.5 centimeters, so the theoretical value of resistance should be 68 microohms."
"Let me see, well, the measurement is 65 microohms",
"Considering the position of the duckbill pliers, this value is within the allowable margin of error."
"Now, the time has come to witness the miracle."
Wang Yinan took the dry ice/methanol bath prepared long ago from a scientific research dog, well, this is too hasty, in order to witness this historic moment, this scientific research dog also has a name, Wang Yinan took the thermos cup with dry ice/methanol bath in his hand from Hu Ting, an intern at Imperial Capital University.
Gently, Wang Yinan poured the bath liquid into the glassware, and in a large white mist, the liquid level slowly rose, submerging the titanium, calcium and copper oxide flakes, and everyone's eyes were on the resistance meter.
If someone could see the microscopic world inside the crystal (maybe the Gödel system could?) Inside a neural network that humans can't understand, it has long understood all this? As the temperature drops, the electrons, which were originally scurrying around like headless flies, suddenly hear a moving waltz, and the two of them are in pairs and dance movingly.
The frequency of their dance and the frequency of the oxide lattice reached a wonderful harmony, so that at a certain moment, for these dancers, all the barriers in the lattice disappeared.
The pointer on the gauge shook back and forth a few times, then fell to zero all at once, and then stayed there as if there was no strength at all.
There was a deathly silence in the lab, and for a long time, "We made it?" Dong Zhi asked weakly.
Wang Yinan smashed the thermos cup on the ground, and he heard a loud "bang", and the laboratory was immediately filled with mist, "We really succeeded", Wang Yinan shouted.
The laboratory immediately turned into a sea of joy.
Cheers, whistles resounded throughout the room, people high-fived and hugged each other, "For us, this is a small experiment, and for humans, this is a big future", Wang Yinan said,
"From now on, all of us here will go down in the annals of human civilization."
As if in order to match his words, Zhang Zifeng brought a wide-format SLR, everyone lined up in two rows, the girls sat in the front, Wang Yinan stood in the middle with the priceless "gold bar", and the master of the kitchen was invited to be the main photographer, leaving a precious group photo in a "eggplant" shout.
Sun Xiaozi, who is very economically-minded, printed out the photos with the company's printer, and then pulled everyone to sign their names, and asked Zhang Zifeng for ink, and stained the front and back of the "gold bar" with ink, and then covered the back of the photo.
Stunned a group of people, you can still operate like this, many years later, this group photo really sold for a sky-high price, of course, this is all a later story.
There is still a lot of work to be done, for example, the complete temperature-resistivity curve needs to be measured, as well as the mechanical properties of this titanium-calcium-copper oxide, and of course, most importantly, there is a paper on the superconductivity theory of the W-L Pair, the mathematical basis of this part, which has been completed in the two mathematical papers to be published, and what is needed now is a complete elaboration of physics, and the final refinement.
But now, at this moment, none of this matters, although many people have not closed their eyes for more than forty hours, in such a carnival season, exhaustion, that is not there.
The company's conference room became a temporary reception venue, Zhang Zifeng had already prepared champagne, and cakes, anyway, they were all their own people, they clinked glasses when they saw people, and they hugged when they saw their sisters, but seeing Wang Yinan's black face, everyone still had a tacit understanding to avoid the three most beautiful girls, hey, you are the boss No way, let's let you do it.
After Qian Zhonghua drank a few glasses of champagne, he shouted again and again that he was not addicted, so he called him Mr. Qian.
"Old man, don't you have a box of old grass there, it seems to be thirty years old, right?"
"Don't care how I know, you think you're hiding it well, I've seen it a long time ago",
"Hurry up and let someone send it to me, Rong and the company, you know",
"Okay, it's okay to leave you a little, but at least take half of it",
"Let me tell you, old man, you are too wise, your son may not go down in history, but the company your son invested in will definitely go down in history, this money is too wise",
Qian Zhonghua spoke incoherently for a long time, but he still deceived half a box of Lao Mao.
People were eating and drinking, talking and laughing, Wang Yinan walked to the window, Zhou Hui sat down next to him, the two touched glasses, Wang Yinan picked up the champagne and drank it all.
"Congratulations", Zhou Hui said,
"Thank you, so long hard work, it was not in vain",
"I still remember when I was very young, my father's laboratory, it seemed that after completing a very difficult project, it was the same celebration scene, and I still remember how happy my father was at that time," Zhou Hui said.
"Sometimes I often think, in fact, I am more suitable for this simple life, looking forward to simple happiness, maybe the entertainment industry is really not suitable for me."
The sun has set, looking from the window, the moon began to show its bright posture in the light blue sky, Wang Yinan pointed to the cold moon in the sky, and said to Zhou Hui, "Remember what you told me about the story behind the moon?"
"Of course, my father always believed that there was some kind of unnatural object behind the moon."
"Someday, I'll let you see",
"Today is just the beginning," Wang Yinan said.
