Chapter 214: Superconducting Maglev Project? Wang Hao: I oppose it, superconductivity will soon usher in a huge development!
The judging session ends.
Wang Hao pointed out the research problems of Wang Chenglin's team, and it is naturally impossible to pass the project review.
There are still many people in the conference hall discussing, and they are not discussing the project review, but the mathematical analysis work done by Wang Chenglin's team.
Those jobs are really outstanding.
Wang Haodu was very impressed by the analysis work, he walked over and chatted with Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others, and affirmed their work, "In the direction of mathematics, you have done a very good job, and it can be said that it is 'perfect'." β
He gave him a thumbs up.
Facing the puzzled eyes of several people, Wang Hao explained, "You may not know, but I was able to think of setting the value for follow-up analysis because I was engaged in research in this direction and had certain results." β
"Unstable complex molecules that do not contain metal elements are more likely to activate the superconducting state, which is also one of the conclusions of our study."
So you can make it clear.
Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others suddenly realized that they were just doing the analysis of experimental data, and they didn't know much about the research of superconductivity, so they naturally wouldn't continue to analyze the follow-up, while Wang Hao had the same type of research comparison, so he naturally thought more.
Wang Hao didn't comfort a few people, he was telling the truth.
Because it was known from the very beginning that Wang Chenglin's research skipped the superconductivity mechanism to study the relationship between temperature and materials, and it was impossible to draw accurate conclusions.
With this as a premise, he will think further.
The work of Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others has been affirmed by Wang Hao, and their mood has become much better.
The fact that they were invited to join Wang Chenglin's experiment does not mean that they belong to Wang Chenglin's team, after all, they are mathematics professors, and they all have research in their respective fields.
The reason why I chose to cooperate with Wang Chenglin is only because of the more funding for research in the direction of superconductivity and the novelty of experimental mathematical analysis.
If you have a lot of money, it will be very attractive.
Mathematics professors can't be said to be 'poor', but the funding for a single mathematics research project is indeed a little less.
When the atmosphere became lively, Wang Hao also asked by the way, "Although the project failed, are you interested in continuing the research?" My team is still continuing this research and there is a lot of math work as well. β
"Also, I have other projects in my hands, big projects in mathematics......"
Wang Hao began to speak.
He said that his project was short of people and that he wanted to invite a few people to join.
Actually, the focus is on Tian Hong.
Tian Hong is the youngest of them, a female professor around 35 years old.
At this age, he can serve as a professor at Capital University, and he was invited by Wang Chenglin to join the project, which is obviously extremely good, and the other three people are all over 50 years old, and they must have a family and a job in the capital, and it is impossible to invite them over.
Lu Wantong, You Yuguang and others all shook their heads together, and they directly pushed it away with an excuse.
If Wang Hao were working at a university in the capital, they would definitely consider it, and participating in high-budget key projects would be a great attraction for them.
Seohai University is too far away for them to suddenly go to work that far away.
Tian Hong hesitated, shook his head together, and did not explain anything in particular.
Behind.
Wang Chenglin is having a black face, it is just a matter of failing to apply for the project, Wang Hao's analysis is speechless, and meaningless research is indeed a waste of time.
But what is Wang Hao doing?
Poaching!
Lu Wantong, You Yuguang and others do not belong to the basic science center, but they are all professors at Capital University, especially Tian Hong, who is more valued, and can be classified as the 'future of the university'.
As a result, poaching?
Wang Chenglin was a little worried for a while, if it was someone else poaching, he was not worried at all, in the field of mathematics in China, Capital University is one of the top universities, and it is too difficult to poach Capital University.
Wang Hao is different.
He was the first domestic Fields winner, recognized as a cutting-edge figure in the field of mathematics, and the key was that he did have a big project in hand.
Fortunately, everyone refused.
Wang Chenglin exhaled lightly, he couldn't say anything, he mustered up the courage to come over and still wanted to ask where their problem was.
He put a lot of effort into this research, but the results proved to be meaningless, and he was still very unwilling.
Wang Chenglin walked over and asked directly, "Professor Wang, can you tell me why we failed?" That's your direction, and I think there's no problem with the way we do it. β
Wang Hao said bluntly, "Because you skipped the mechanism." β
He explains, "No study can skip the mechanism. The direction I am talking about is indeed to do experimental analysis, but the purpose is still to study the mechanism, not directly analyze, what kind of materials are more likely to be superconducting materials. β
"It's a stroke of luck, even if you barely touch it, it's just to find one or two materials alone, and it doesn't make much sense."
Wang Chenglin nodded in understanding.
Wang Hao continued, "I think your own research in the direction of condensation physics is very good, and you don't need to get involved in different fields in multiple directions. He shook his head as he spoke, "It's not good to do research and be quick for quick success, every theoretical research is not easy, and a lot of research depends on the precipitation of years, more than ten years, and decades......
Wang Chenglin naturally understood this truth, but when he said it from Wang Hao's mouth, it gave him a strange feeling.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, but couldn't help but ask questioningly, "Professor Wang, has your research gone through many years of precipitation?" β
"Our research has only just begun."
Wang Hao's face was calm, "The road has to be taken step by step, and we are slowly moving forward." β
β¦β¦
After the project review of the Basic Science Center was completed, Wang Hao directly talked with the Superconductivity Office about the follow-up funding of the research.
In a few months, they spent more than 60 million yuan, but the results were also very remarkable.
In terms of the two achievements related to the exchange of gravity fields, it is already possible to make people speechless, and it has also been affirmed by Factory 244, which is ready to merge with the physics laboratory project.
The Science Foundation will definitely allocate funds.
This review meeting is equivalent to squeezing out the 'funding' competitors, and in the research in the direction of superconductivity mechanism, the Science Foundation should also continue to provide follow-up funding, so the two sides are still talking about the amount of funding.
The final funding was set at 55 million, which can be said to be the limit of what the superconducting office can come up with.
After the issue of funding was negotiated, Wu Hui began to complain to Wang Hao, "Professor Wang, I gave you this funding, and we will have a hard life next." β
There is only 100 million funds available on the books of the Superconducting Office, and more than 50 million yuan has been directly crossed out to the physics laboratory, and the follow-up can only wait for the allocation of funds by the foundation next year.
They are responsible for many projects, not just physics labs and basic science centers.
There are several large projects in the superconductivity laboratory of the Academy of Sciences alone, as well as other large, medium and small laboratories, 50 million sounds like a lot, but for the superconductivity office, it can only maintain follow-up operations, and if there are other applications for approval, it can only be delayed until next year.
This is the case with domestic scientific research funding, because the allocation of funds is carried out as a whole, and one project will take more, and other projects will take less.
Of course, that's the superconducting office thing.
Wang Hao doesn't think about it so much, he is only in charge of his own project, so he naturally has to fight for more funds for the project.
During the trip to the capital, I got more than 100 million funds, and after I went back, I merged the project with the 244 factory, which was equivalent to expanding the funds and expanding the scale of research.
He was still in a good mood, and he was looking forward to the follow-up of the experiment.
Wang Hao did not leave directly, but stayed in the capital for two more days, and asked He Yi to buy a ticket to go back first.
Two days later, he went to attend the high-temperature superconducting maglev train project demonstration meeting.
This is the last destination.
Wang Hao was temporarily invited to join the new debate meeting.
The project has been discussed for more than three years, and six large-scale debates have been held in the middle of it, each of which has attracted scholars from various fields, but so far there has been no result.
Wang Hao participated with curiosity, he entered the venue and exchanged a few words with the people he met, and then found a place to sit down and listen.
This kind of demonstration meeting is that the project leader makes an introduction to the project, and then other relevant personnel make reports separately, and finally discuss and analyze together.
Even when it comes to the discussion and analysis stage, it is difficult to come up with any results.
They need to demonstrate a feasible plan, taking into account aspects such as technology, design, construction costs, companies involved in construction, duration, ongoing maintenance costs, and so on.
There are many aspects that need to be argued.
Only if a well-developed and feasible plan can be come up with a well-established and feasible plan, the higher authorities may consider granting funds to support the project.
This is mainly because the project requires a large amount of funds, the cost of maglev trains is already very high, and the high-temperature superconducting maglev is even more upgraded.
Even if only 10 kilometers of track are built, the project cost could reach tens of billions.
This project is led by Liao Guangyuan and Du Wei, academicians of the Academy of Sciences, who made a brief introduction to the project, and then talked about the significance of building a high-temperature superconducting maglev train, including the upgrade of the maglev train, the application of high-temperature superconducting technology, and the research and development of related fields.
After that, several scholars took the stage to give presentations in their respective fields.
Wang Hao listened to it all the time, and later found that the demonstration meeting was not interesting, that is, a large number of scholars discussed how to implement the project, but in fact, because the technology is not yet mature, the scale of the capital consumption is too large, and it is unlikely to be passed in a short time.
By the time the morning's report was over, he was ready to leave.
Liao Guangyuan noticed Wang Hao, walked over to talk to him, and asked, "Professor Wang, what do you think of this project?" He hopes to get Wang Hao's support.
Wang Hao is the top mathematician, and he is still very influential in the eyes of the high-level, and the possibility of the project being approved will be greatly increased if Wang Hao can support him.
Wang Hao hesitated, but still said, "Academician Liao, I think that in a short period of time, the high-temperature superconducting maglev train has no significance in implementing construction. β
"Why?" Liao Guangyuan frowned.
Other people next to him also looked over.
Wang Hao said, "The scale of consumption is too large, the operating expenses are very high, and it will definitely continue to lose money, and so on." β
He finished speaking in one breath, and then said, "I believe that other people must have said it in terms of cost, maintenance, etc., so I will give you another reason." β
"Technology!" Wang Hao said very surely.
Liao Guangyuan immediately said, "We have made a high-temperature superconducting maglev train. β
Wang Hao shook his head, he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and showed it to the others, "Everyone knows mobile phones." Ten or twenty years ago, I couldn't have imagined today's mobile phones. Large screen, finger operation, needless to say, various functions. β
The others listened and nodded.
Wang Hao continued, "It's the same now. We can't imagine what superconducting technology, magnetic levitation, will look like in ten years. β
"The investment in such a project is tens of billions, and the construction time span will take at least five years.
"The previous investment will be wasted!"
Liao Guangyuan smiled and shook his head, "Professor Wang, I know that you are also engaged in superconductivity research, but you may not know much about it, compared with thirty years ago, the technology in the field of superconductivity has hardly changed now. β
"The theory is still the same theory, and the change in the material is very small, and the temperature below 100K is still needed."
"In the same way, the magnetic levitation technology is still the one we bought from Germany, and even other countries have no breakthrough research ......"
The others nodded as they listened.
Wang Hao said with a smile, "The past does not represent the future, maybe superconducting technology will soon usher in rapid development?" β
He didn't continue talking, but turned around and left the room.
β¦β¦
In the field of superconductivity research, Wang Hao can be regarded as a newcomer, relying on the research of replicating foreign experiments to apply for a large-scale project.
That's all.
So his words won't have much impact either.
The glorious period of the breakthrough in superconductivity technology was in the 80s of the last century, when Amriken scientists Bernorz and Muller discovered a barium-lanthanum copper oxide at 35K, and the superconducting phenomenon had already begun to appear.
This was a historic breakthrough that led to the Nobel Prize in Physics for Bernorz and MΓΌller, and a new upsurge in superconductivity research.
At that time, more than 200 experimental groups around the world participated in the competition for superconductivity research, and the news media overwhelmingly reported on the progress of superconductivity.
Later, after a long period of research, it was found that there was no qualitative breakthrough, and the enthusiasm for superconductivity research and development passed.
Now many of the top superconductivity experts in China have come from that era, they may have been just nobodies at that time, and later participated in some research, discovered some new superconducting materials, and slowly became famous.
Wang Hao is still a newcomer in the field of superconductivity, but he doesn't care what others think, because his research direction is different from the conventional field.
He just said what he thought.
After returning to Xihai University, Wang Hao went to the physics laboratory and convened the core staff to talk about funding and follow-up research.
Everyone else cheered up.
Now that the new equipment is already being commissioned, we only need to wait for the funds to be allocated in place before we can continue the follow-up experiments.
Wang Hao's arrangement for the experiment is to use at least three elemental metals as materials to do superconducting AC gravity experiments, and test the parameters in the experiment in detail.
This kind of research is easy to say, but it is very complicated to do.
The superconducting critical temperature of elemental metals is very low, and the superconducting critical temperature of relatively high 'lead' and 'technetium' is only 7k or 8k.
For some other superconducting metals, the critical temperature is mostly less than 1K.
To create such a low temperature, it also needs experimental cooperation, which is very, very difficult, requiring a large amount of high-pressure liquid helium, and the experimental design requirements are also higher.
At the same time, the investment will be more.
He Yi simply calculated an account, and pouted when he looked at the numbers, "Even if you have new equipment, an experiment will cost at least three million or more." β
Wang Hao didn't care, and made a calculation, "Three million at a time, we have 150 million funds, and we can do fifty experiments." β
He Yi was stunned when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up vigorously for a long time, "...... Heroic! β
Wang Hao can't wait.
Previous studies have established a geometric framework of microscopic morphology, and the subsequent step is to do experiments to record data, as long as there is sufficient data support, the framework can be improved.
After that, the relationship between the microscopic morphological stability and the excited superconducting temperature can be found.
This correspondence coefficient is very crucial!
Very important!
Just like the coefficients of many physical laws, for example, the gravitational constant, through the gravitational constant and formula, the gravitational force between two planets can be calculated.
The current coefficients are used to calculate the superconducting critical temperature of elemental metals, or 'elemental elements'.
As long as it can be studied, it will definitely be a major progress in the field of superconductivity, and it will soon trigger a new round of superconductivity boom.
Wang Hao couldn't help but think of the conversation with Liao Guangyuan.
Future?
At least in the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity, a huge breakthrough will be ushered in soon!
