Chapter 62 Superconductors at Room Temperature
Zhang Yang has always felt that he is very busy, in fact, although he has systematic help, there is basically no need to worry about the technology tree, but he has been working for a long time in order to get those industrial facilities, and there are many things in the company He also has to come forward.

During this time, he has been busy with Jarvis's problem, and Jarvis has been complaining to him: "It is difficult for the original electronic computer to exert its full performance, and it also has a great impact on the future plan." ”
Although Zhang Yang doesn't have to calculate the data in these black technologies now, there are more plans in the future that require a lot of calculations. Both domestic and foreign countries have got some equipment, and they have finally made up for it.
In today's society, there is almost nothing for some companies that they dare not sell, of course, some similar nuclear materials and some really top equipment and munitions still do not have the ability to sell, but the things that Zhang Yang needs are almost basically in hand, that is, those equipment in the future basically do not need to be bought from the outside world.
Of course, except for some materials, but now it is a good start, at least Zhang Yang is quite satisfied. In a sense, Zhang Yang can directly apply this superconducting technology to electricity, and perhaps Zhang Yang can become the richest man in the world in this regard.
Why? A very simple example, every year China loses hundreds of billions of dollars in power transportation, if Zhang Yang does this aspect, then it can be said that his wealth will swell to a degree that ordinary people can't imagine in less than a year.
What is Superconductivity? It is a fascinating natural phenomenon that was discovered in 1911 by the Dutch physicist Annes. There are materials that, when cooled to close to minus 273.15 degrees Celsius, lose their resistance, and the current flowing into them will flow unimpeded and will not be consumed in vain.
This situation is like a group of people crowding into the square, if everyone does not listen to the greeting and goes their own way, it will cause collisions with each other and make the march blocked; But if someone shouts the password, everyone obeys the order, listens to the command, and marches in formation, and then they can enter the square smoothly, and the situation of superconductors is like this.
However, after the discovery of superconductivity, the progress of superconductivity research has not been fast, because it is unattainable. The temperature at which superconductivity is achieved is too low, and the amount of electricity consumed to create this low temperature far exceeds the amount of electricity saved by superconductivity.
In the late 80s, the situation was reversed. Scientists canceled their vacations, moved canvas beds into the lab, and the study of superconducting heat suddenly swept the world. Scientists have discovered a ceramic alloy at minus 238 degrees Celsius; The phenomenon of superconductivity has emerged. Chinese physicists have found a material that appears superconducting at minus 141 degrees Celsius.
At present, scientists are still fighting for this. Trying to find a "high-temperature" superconducting material, or even a room-temperature superconducting material. Once these materials are found, they can be used to make superconducting switching devices and superconducting memories, which can then be used to make superconducting computers.
The result is a much smaller computer, a much lower energy consumption, and a much faster calculation. Assembling a superconducting data processor with an external memory chip into a Josephson-style computer provides high-speed processing power that is 15 times faster than a mainframe computer.
The U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency confirmed that the U.S. intelligence community has launched a program to develop superconducting computers, and three big technology companies, including IBM, Raytheon Technologies, and Northrop Grumman, have won the contract. But the U.S. Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency did not disclose financial details.
ComputerWorld magazine reported that China has developed the world's fastest computing computer, and competition from China, Japan and Europe has prompted the United States to strive to develop the next generation of superconducting supercomputers, with the power to perform exascale operations.
In November, AMD won a $32 million order from the U.S. Department of Energy to participate in exascale supercomputer research. Mark Peppermaster, chief technology officer of AMD, said in a blog post that energy is the biggest obstacle to exascale supercomputing.
Mark Manheimer, C3 project manager at the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Agency, said: "Computers based on superconducting logic combined with new cryogenic memory will greatly enhance the computing power of existing computers and even enable supercomputers to achieve exascale operations while maintaining space and energy budgets." ”
The superconducting computer is 100 times faster than the current electronic computer, and the electrical energy consumption is only one thousandth of the electronic computer, if a large and medium-sized computer consumes 10 kilowatts per hour, then, the same superconducting computer only needs a dry battery to work.
From the ground floor to the basement floor is an elevator, this elevator is still normal, but when you go down, you must enter the password and fingerprint authentication, if you think it is only so simple, then you are wrong, there is Jarvis monitoring at all times, no one can use this elevator except Zhang Yang.
When she took Ye Ningxue through these certifications, Ye Ningxue was also a little curious, as far as the measures she saw now were probably not so strict even in the White House, and sometimes there were some dissatisfied people in the White House who ran through the security range and climbed over the wall. It's not possible here, though.
Ye Ningxue also said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh my God, Mr. Zhang, is this studying nuclear weapons?" “
Of course, Zhang Yang knew that she was telling a joke, but this was probably half the right thing for him. "Of course not, but I don't have some kittens and puppies here that can come in."
Arrived on the second floor of the basement, out of the elevator door, there was a narrow passage, and those who had seen Resident Evil knew what this passage was for, but now the equipment inside was not complete.
Although the equipment in this is all transported in from the outside, Zhang Yang naturally has his considerations, and most of the area of thousands of square meters is vacant, but with such a set of equipment and so many raw materials, there will be everything.
Ye Ningxue looked at this passage and also remembered the plot in Resident Evil, she didn't speak now, and she didn't know if it was a wise choice to go down with Zhang Yang so hastily, it seemed that this place was the same place as Zhang Yang's secret base.
Zhang Yang also learned from Ye Ningxue's serious tone, pressed Ye Ningxue's shoulder, and then looked at her eyes: "Are you afraid that I will kill people and kill you?" “
Ye Ningxue also understood, but her cheeks became red: "I hate it, Zhang Yang." “
"Okay, okay, this time I didn't bring you here for other things, it was to cooperate with your Ye family." At this time, Zhang Yang was also serious, and after saying this, he also walked directly to the equipment console.
Zhang Yang is also not shy about anything, because in his opinion, this is the time for him and the Ye family to show his strength, although many people know that he is a genius, but no one knows to what extent the specific genius has reached.
When buying these automated equipment, Zhang Yang also asked that the equipment could be connected to the outside world, Zhang Yang found the plug and connected to the network, took out his mobile phone and put on Bluetooth, didn't care about Ye Ningxue's surprised gaze, just said to Jarvis: "Okay, Jarvis, make it." “
Of course, it refers to the thing of room temperature superconductors, Ye Ningxue saw Zhang Yang's appearance, and she couldn't even speak clearly: "Jarvis? Which Jarvis? “
"Which Jarvis are you talking about? It's a little worse than the one in Iron Man. "Zhang Yang is also a little conservative, but he is actually much stronger than the one in Iron Man.
Zhang Yang also did not operate, the equipment began to run automatically, Zhang Yang had already stored the knowledge about this aspect in Jarvis, of course, he was not afraid of losing it, if anyone could hack Jarvis, then let him take it. The problem of materials is also to hide people's eyes, and they are not afraid of what the people of the Ye family will see when they buy many raw materials.
The whole process was silent, Zhang Yang and Ye Ningxue were silent, but what they thought was completely different. What Zhang Yang was thinking about was how to be appropriate for the sharing with the Ye family, while Ye Ningxue was thinking about how many things Zhang Yang hadn't taken out?
The equipment stopped running, and Jarvis's voice broke the embarrassment between them, although it could only be heard by Zhang Yang, but I don't know if Jarvist intended it, its voice just sounded in the factory.
"Master, and this young lady, the sample of the room temperature superconductor has been made."
"Why don't you speak, are you stunned?" Zhang Yang saw that Ye Ningxue was silent and didn't speak, so he also spoke first.
"No, what I'm thinking is that you really make room temperature superconductors?" Even though such a perverted artificial intelligence was placed in front of her eyes, she felt as if none of the things in front of her were so real. Simplicity is a feeling that happiness comes too suddenly.
"Hello Miss, if you have any doubts, you can get any qualified institution to test, and the specific data can be seen." Jarvis also used holographic projection of data in front of their eyes.
All the data can be clearly seen, the specific nature, but there is still no particularly detailed information. But this is enough to surprise Ye Ningxue, not only Jarvis's high intelligence, but also the normal temperature superconductor has really been realized.
She naturally knew the subversive effect this thing had on her family and the whole country, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
