Chapter 246: Amazing Transformation Temperature! Wang Hao: It's just a small achievement!
Wang Hao planned the main direction of the experiment, and he didn't care about it anymore in the future, just waiting for the news from Deng Huanshan's side.
He went back to university and continued his normal working life.
It's June.
The first round of evaluation of the academician co-optation was over, and the list of people who entered the second round was announced, Wang Hao paid attention to it, there was his name on the list, and he didn't care anymore.
Others are very concerned about the co-optation of academicians.
His mentor Pan Weiguo also made a special call and chatted with him about the election of academicians, "Do you remember Xu Hao?"
Wang Hao recalled carefully, it seemed to be an old professor who talked about Li Qun Li algebra, and he asked with doubts, "What's wrong with Mr. Xu?"
"He abstained."
"Rejection?"
Pan Weiguo said with a smile, "Originally, the first round had already passed, and he knew that you were also participating in this year's co-election, so he gave up directly, didn't you pay attention?" On the list approved by the first round of the Department of Mathematical Physics, there are only six in mathematics. ”
"Ah......h
This Wang Hao didn't expect it, he opened the webpage and checked it, and found that it was indeed the same as what Pan Weiguo said.
Of the 30 students who passed the first round in the Department of Mathematical Physics, only six of them were candidates in the field of mathematics, and the rest were in the field of physics.
Pan Weiguo said, "You see, normally there are more than ten, this year there are twelve places in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, normally speaking, at least four are academicians of mathematics, and now it's okay, there are only six ...... left."
He laughed and added, "It's a good thing I didn't attend." ”
Pan Weiguo has some achievements and qualifications, and he also has a certain opportunity, he continued, "Do you know why, it's all because of you!"
"Because of me?"
"It's not because of you, Xu Hao gave up, it's because I participated with you, I guess there will be people who give up in the future."
Pan Weiguo said with a smile, "The selection of academicians is indeed very important, but reputation is also very important. ”
Wang Hao understood a little.
It's nothing for him to participate in the academician co-election, others don't see it that way, and Wang Hao participated in the academician co-election, it's better if he wasn't selected, if he is really elected in the end, the list will be announced, and it will definitely cause heated discussions on the Internet.
Wang Hao has attracted too much attention, he was successfully elected as an academician, and he will definitely be noticed by the media, so those who are elected as academicians together are better if they have the strength and confidence.
If there are no international achievements and no awards, the academician may be criticized.
When the time comes, public opinion may say, "Why can this person be rated as an academician?"
"He didn't have any achievements, and he was able to be rated as an academician with Wang Hao?"
"Academician has reached this point?"
“……“
Some of them have no special achievements, but they are just senior, so it is better to give up altogether, otherwise it will cause controversy in public opinion and their reputation will not be saved.
Wang Hao only smiled when he heard it, but he didn't think anything of it, and he gave up after fighting for qualifications.
Academicians are academic leaders, and if those with qualifications can be selected, it doesn't feel interesting.
He chatted with Pan Weiguo a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Qiu Hui'an coming over, and said with excitement on his face, "Teacher Wang, I'm done, I'm done!"
Wang Hao knew what he was talking about as soon as he heard it, and immediately said happily, "Take it and let me take a look." ”
He re-entered the office and showed Qiu Huian the follow-up content, and found that Qiu Hui'an had indeed completed the follow-up proof.
Wang Hao also felt very happy.
If he had completed the Legendre conjecture himself, he would have only felt that he had completed a small math problem, and he would not have felt very excited.
Qiu Hui'an was his student, and the feeling was completely different.
That's success with students!
While Wang Hao was happy, he also gave Qiu Hui'an a detailed analysis of the follow-up proof content, and simplified it by the way, and there were some in the process (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
The cumbersome part.
"You simplify this part a little more, and then you can organize it."
Wang Hao said, "When it's sorted out, show it to me when the time comes, and I'll help you check it from beginning to end." ”
"There's no problem, I'll help you submit."
"There is no problem with this proof to vote for "New Advances in Mathematics", if you are not in a hurry, you can also publish it in "Acta Mathematica Sinica", but the meaning is similar, "Acta Mathematica Sinica" has a little more influence."
From Wang Hao's point of view, there is no difference between New Advances in Mathematics and Acta Mathematica Sinica, both of which are top-level journals in mathematics.
It's not the same for everyone else.
The papers published in Acta Mathematica Sinica are relatively few, and the quality is relatively high, so it is an honor to be able to publish papers in Acta Mathematica Sinica.
Qiu Huian nodded very hard and said, "Teacher Wang, listen to you." ”
After Qiu Hui'an left with excitement, Wang Hao's mood was better, and he walked around the laboratory and cared about the projects cooperated by the space agency.
Because the new structure has already been completed, the project has entered the final stage, just add some bits and pieces, and it will be almost ready for delivery in the next month.
Wang Hao paid attention to Zhang Zhiqiang's project again and talked to him about the difficulties of the project.
The two were about to go out together, and when they passed by the workshop, they heard a quarrel.
It's Helen and Chen Mengmeng.
The other is...... Paul Phil Jones?
Zhang Zhiqiang walked in quickly, interrupted the quarrel of several people, and asked, "What are you arguing about?" He wanted to be a peacemaker.
Zhang Zhiqiang can be said to be the "second-in-command" of the laboratory, and he cannot participate in the core research, but most of the "daily work" of the laboratory, including personnel and logistics, will be involved.
So when it comes to quarrels, he still has to come over and take care of them.
Paul Phil-Jones, Helen and Chen Mengmeng stopped arguing and looked at Zhang Zhiqiang together, and also noticed Wang Hao who walked in behind him.
Paul Phil-Jones knew Zhang Zhiqiang, but he didn't say anything.
Helen didn't say anything.
Chen Mengmeng and Zhang Zhiqiang are the most familiar, so she opened her mouth to explain, "That's right, we are talking about quantum physics, the basic expression after the introduction of annihilation. “
"Mr. Jones thinks that the annihilation force can be explained by a specific vibrating string, but this vibrating string is based on an imaginary graviton, which requires 11 dimensions to operate, and describes how the 11 dimensions are all condensed in a very small space, about 10 to the 33rd power of space."
"Helen and I both think that this is the way string theory is, and it's wrong. If annihilation is introduced in this way, the expression of the foundation becomes very complex, and it is necessary to combine annihilation theory and string theory. ”
"Teacher Zhang, what do you think? Who do you think is right?"
After Chen Mengmeng finished explaining, he looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with sharp eyes with Paul Phil-Jones and Helen.
Zhang Zhiqiang's mind was clouded when he listened, he glanced at the three of them from left to right, and it took a long time for his half-open mouth to say, "This question...... Why don't you wait until you've eaten?"
He looked down at his watch, grabbed Wang Hao and said, "It's almost time to eat, I'm hungry, let's go." ”
”…… All right. ”
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment and left a sentence, "Academic discussion, there is no absolutely correct direction, and beware of not fighting!"
The two walked together.
As soon as they broke up, several people were not in the mood to continue arguing.
In fact, just like Wang Hao said, there is no absolutely correct direction for academic research.
Paul Phil-Jones's idea is not wrong, because he has been working on string theory, so he can directly take some mathematical logic and use it in nesting.
Helen and Chen Mengmeng are not wrong, they are greatly influenced by Wang Hao, and they still hope to be able to conduct research from scratch.
The speed of the latter is definitely slower, but it is more important to play steadily.
The former is fast, medium (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
Mistakes may occur, and subsequent research may lead to contradictions, which need to be corrected slowly.
After Paul Phil-Jones came to Westsea University, he spent most of his time in the Mason Mathematics Lab, and he has not officially entered the post, so he has no teaching-related work.
The environment of the Mason Number Lab is relatively good, and he can do research here with peace of mind.
The advantage of Paul Phil-Jones' arrival is that Wang Hao has become a little more relaxed, Helen, Chen Mengmeng, and Xu Chao are all doing research on annihilation theory combined with quantum physics, and they can ask him any questions.
In quantum physics and theoretical physics, Paul Phil-Jones is much more professional than Wang Hao.
There was also a downside to the arrival of Paul Phil Jones.
For example, he doesn't have a teacher at all, and he seems to be like a child, arguing with students about problems.
Genius, always different.
……
A week later.
Wang Hao received the news that a new material had been prepared by the superconducting materials experimental group, and he immediately went to the experimental group.
After finding Deng Huanshan, he saw the newly prepared materials.
It was a small layer of metallic film, with a silvery-gray tinge and a relatively dull tint.
Deng Huanshan said, "Professor Wang, we have done three sets of experiments in a row according to the direction you said, and finally obtained such a thin film, and the specific element content has not been determined in detail. ”
"In my experience, the critical temperature of this film should be higher than the last time."
There is nothing wrong with Deng Huanshan's experience.
Because he has been researching superconducting materials for a long time, he knows the preparation method well, and he can make a rough judgment at a glance at the material.
"How much do you think the critical temperature can be raised?" Wang Hao asked curiously.
"It should be 85K, right?" Deng Huanshan said hesitantly.
"Only 85?k"
Deng Huanshan was originally very excited, but when he heard Wang Hao say this, he was suddenly a little deflated, and he still emphasized, "85K, it's already a lot, it's 6K higher than last time." ”
He was indeed a little excited.
They did experimental research in the direction Wang Hao said, and they didn't have much hope, but they didn't expect that they had really developed new materials, and they looked very good.
He is also very much looking forward to the superconducting critical temperature of the new material.
Wang Hao nodded and said, "When can I start the measurement?"
Deng Huanshan said, "When the properties of the material are stable, it is estimated that it will be in the afternoon." ”
"Then I'll take a look at the preparation process first."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he looked at the experimental process and found that it was indeed done in the direction he said, and the result was that new materials were prepared.
He carefully analyzed the process and estimated a value, "The minimum can be more than 100k!"
This is the conclusion reached through a simple analysis.
Although he did not completely decipher the relationship between the material preparation process and the material, his understanding of the theory is not comparable to that of others.
In addition, he also had a reference from the previous experiment.
It is also normal for the material prepared in this way to exceed 100k.
Deng Huanshan's eyes widened when he heard what Wang Hao said, he really couldn't believe that the critical temperature of the new material exceeded 100K?
That's an incredible number.
Even if it was the research he personally participated in, he felt that the 100K data was very unreliable, but he didn't say anything after listening to what Wang Hao said.
Now it feels that the two of them are estimating the superconducting critical temperature of the new material together, Deng Huanshan is also very conflicted, on the one hand, he hopes that Wang Hao's estimate is right, and on the other hand, he feels that his professionalism has been questioned.
"85k, that's good!"
"If you can reach 90k, it's incredible......"
“100k?“
Deng Huanshan still shook his head silently.
Soon the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and after a staff member did the test, it was determined that the new material was stable, and the test could begin.
New tests soon began.
(This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
This test is much simpler than doing an AC gravity experiment, it is just to determine the superconducting critical temperature of the new material, and then continuously cool down after the power is turned on.
Soon the data came out.
When the temperature dropped below 120K, someone exclaimed, "It's changed!"
"It's really changed!"
"Really!"
"It's 119K now!"
The parameters of the testing instrument can be read out.
The people who did the testing experiments did not expect that the superconductivity transition could be detected at a value of less than 120 K.
They were a little scrambling for a while.
Deng Huanshan's eyes widened suddenly, he took a few steps forward and looked at the number on the instrument, "119K", and then opened his mouth in surprise.
“119k?“
"Is it really 119k?"
Deng Huanshan took a deep breath, and when he turned his head to look at Wang Hao, who was sitting calmly, his heart was filled with incredulity.
In the morning, he still thought that more than 100k was incredible, and now the data he sees is 119K, which is only 1k short of 120k.
What is this concept?
According to the news released by Ameriken, thousands of scientists will strive to create superconducting materials of more than 120k that can be used in industry within three years.
Deng Huanshan is very sure that the materials they prepared can be used in industry, just by looking at the color of the materials, you can know that the metal content is very high, and the current bearing strength is naturally not low.
The current material superconducting critical temperature is 119K, which can almost be said to have achieved the goal.
"So, that's it"
Deng Huanshan opened his mouth slightly, walked back and looked at Wang Hao in surprise, "Professor Wang, it's really more than 100k, 119k as you said!"
"It's still a study I'm involved in, and it's ...... God!"
"Are we done with our goal?"
Wang Hao was also slightly surprised, he estimated that it would exceed 100k, but he felt that it would not exceed 110k, but he didn't expect to surprise himself.
119k?
He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "It's not bad!"
"This achievement can be reported," Deng Huanshan said expectantly, "119k!" The goal has been accomplished, it can be put into industrial production, and the release will definitely shock the world"
"Escalate?"
Wang Hao shook his head, "It's just a small improvement, what to report?" We're not there yet, I said before that the goal is 150k. ”
"Uh......"
Deng Huanshan was dumbfounded when he heard this, he felt that his thinking was not in the same dimension as Wang Hao.
A small boost?
Previously, they prepared materials with a transition temperature of 79K, which was already a big improvement, 24K higher than the highest 55K in China.
Now it's up to 119k, which is 40k more than 79k.
Outcome...... Small boosts
Wang Hao said, "You may not know our foundation, the combination of "Type 1" elements, the development prospect is very broad, and 150k is the short-term goal. ”
"119k is also an achievement, but don't worry, we still have to conduct experiments and strive to improve next time, beyond 150k, and then it will be difficult."
"So don't make a noise yet, take it slowly."
He patted Deng Huanshan on the shoulder and said, "To do research, you must be patient." ”
"Be steady, take it one step at a time!"
"Uh-huh."
Deng Huanshan put on a teachable expression, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pull.
Solid?
One step at a time?
How can the current research not be related to 'solidity', right?
Like ...... On the fly?
……
When the superconducting material with a transition temperature of 119K was prepared, everyone in the experimental group was very excited.
After the experiment, the follow-up is to make notes and summaries.
That's what the experimental team does.
Deng Huanshan also opened (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
He was busy recording the details of the experiment and urging each team to do a good job.
At the same time, he also received the above information, saying that Academician Yan Shiqing would serve as the director of the research center.
Deng Huanshan was a little worried when he knew the news, so he called Academician Wu Hui, who had a good relationship, and asked, "Academician Wu, I know Academician Yan, but I don't know about it. When he comes, he won't meddle in the experiment, right?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Hui didn't understand for a while.
Deng Huanshan said, "Academician Wu, let me be honest with you, with the guidance of Professor Wang Hao, our research has been very smooth, and we have already had ...... Small results. Now I'm afraid that someone will suddenly command indiscriminately, you know Academician Yan, you can give me a thorough understanding and tell me about ......"
Wu Hui's mind was suddenly filled with "small achievements", and he found that Deng Huanshan did not explain directly, nor did he continue to inquire, "Don't worry, in the research of superconducting materials, Academician Yan is very professional, and he is not the kind of person who commands randomly......"
He said a few good words to Yan Shiqing before Deng Huanshan was reassured.
After putting down the phone, Wu Hui thought about the "small achievements" that Deng Huanshan hesitated to say, and then contacted "Wang Hao" to do research in the past, and suddenly felt a little worried about Yan Shiqing.
If Yan Shiqing hadn't officially taken office, the experimental team would have made great achievements, and when the time came, it would have been very embarrassing?
Then it feels like no one else is needed, what is Yan Shiqing doing in the past to take office?
Grab credit?
Robbing Wang Hao's credit?
Chaos?
Wu Hui hurriedly called Yan Shiqing, asked him when he was going to Xihai, and said that he should go over quickly, otherwise it would be bad to delay the experiment.
Yan Shiqing nodded and said, "Isn't this already the beginning of the month?" I'm in the middle of a handover, and the end of the month will be over. ”
"You have to hurry up, it's not good to delay the experiment."
"What an experiment?" Yan Shiqing sneered, "Old Wu, you just care too much, now the research has just begun, it is estimated that the equipment over there has just been shipped, and it is still far from theoretical." ”
"Research that lasts for a few years, more than ten years, is not in a hurry, you must know that at my age, it is equivalent to retiring over there."
"Uh...... That's right, you can look at it. ”
Wu Hui couldn't persuade anymore.
Yan Shiqing said that there is no problem, he is 63 years old, he used to work at Xihai University, and the research lasted at least a few years, so it is unlikely that he will go to other places.
When the time comes, he will definitely retire in office.
Yan Shiqing can understand it by dragging his time, he still wants to stay in the post of the Academy of Sciences for a while, and stay with his old colleagues and friends for a while.
Gone, but not coming back.
Yan Shiqing put down the phone and shook his head funny, he knew that Wu Hui was concerned about himself, and at the same time, he was also concerned about the project of superconducting materials.
This guy is an impatient!
However, what is the rush of research that lasts for several years, more than ten years?
