Chapter 249: Before the referee fired, someone had already run to the finish line?
Some time ago, Wang Hao and his research group published research on semi-topological theory, which is considered to have solved the mystery of superconductivity theory.
Since then, the international media has carried out large-scale reports on related research and superconducting technology.
In the follow-up, there are also a lot of popular science on the development of superconducting technology, so that more people know the significance of the development of superconducting technology, and also understand some areas of superconducting technology application.
The news released by Bookhaven National Laboratory defines the superconducting critical temperature of 120K as a very important index, that is, "the superconducting critical temperature of 120K means that the threshold of large-scale industrial application of superconducting technology has been crossed."
Of course, it is not realistic for materials with a critical temperature of 120K superconductivity to be popularized on a large scale.
For example, for example, it is impossible to use superconducting materials with such a low temperature transition in commonly used electronic products.
However, superconducting materials corresponding to the transition temperature can be used in many other fields.
The application of superconducting technology is mainly divided into three categories according to the nature of the superconducting state, one is the application of strong electricity, the other is the application of weak electricity, and the last is the application of diamagnetism.
Among them, the application of strong electricity can be understood as the application of high current, including superconducting power generation, transmission and energy storage.
The application of weak electricity, that is, the application of electronics, includes superconducting computers, superconducting antennas, superconducting microwave devices, and so on.
The main applications of diamagnetism include maglev trains and thermonuclear fusion reactors.
At present, there are many fields where superconducting technology has been applied, including superconducting quantum interferometers that have been industrialized, nuclear magnetic resonance imagers in the medical field, large-scale I projects in Europe, and so on.
For new superconducting materials, the largest application direction of materials that cross the 120K transition temperature is energy storage, magnetic levitation and superconducting generators.
All three are very important.
When the announcement of the Ministry of Science and Technology was released, the focus of public opinion was the application of new materials, energy storage, magnetic levitation and superconducting generators were widely discussed.
At the same time, there are many voices of surprise in public opinion.
Previously, many people were discussing how many years it would take to truly realize the popularization and application of superconducting technology, and the landmark research of popularization and application is to create superconducting materials with a transition temperature of more than 120K that can be used in industry.
Amricon's Bookhaven National Laboratory gives the exact time – three years.
Many people think that three years is already the shortest time, and it will definitely take longer under normal circumstances, but they didn't expect that the results would be achieved so quickly.
The speed is amazing.
The domestic media has carried out a lot of reports on the new achievements, and the report of "Renren Daily" is inspiring, and the report has determined the absolute leading edge of China in the field of superconducting technology.
There is a sentence that is very critical for the review of superconducting technology, "The development of superconducting technology can change the existing technical logic and is a strong driving force for overtaking in corners." “
Overtaking in corners is a word often mentioned in the development of domestic science and technology.
The reason why it is necessary to overtake in corners is because there are many aspects of domestic technology that lag behind the international level, and there are also many fields that are stuck by foreign countries.
It is not easy to achieve corner overtaking, because in the field of high-end technology, if you have an advantage in one aspect, you are likely to have an advantage in the future.
Changing the technical logic is the foundation of overtaking in corners.
What is technical logic?
For example, an ordinary mobile phone contains a lot of patented technologies, many of which are related to battery, heat dissipation, functional matching, etc.
After superconducting technology, superconducting power supply can be manufactured, and there is no need to pay attention to heat dissipation, functional matching and other issues, and patents in related fields will naturally lose their meaning.
For example, battery cars.
If a high-power superconducting motor can be manufactured and a superconducting battery with higher energy storage can be manufactured, it will naturally be easy to occupy the technological highland, and some of the original technical research will lose its significance.
This is to change the logic of technology.
Domestic public opinion is rejoicing about nature, and everyone is looking forward to the popularization and application of superconducting technology.
This time, the country is at the forefront and the country is still in the forefront
Far behind.
Soon, there were a lot of international reports as well.
Most of the reports in foreign media are reprints of the announcements issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and even if they are analytical articles, they mainly talk about the technology of superconducting materials.
Most of the foreign public opinion is envious that China has the latest technology, and many people also realize that China has taken the lead in manufacturing high-end superconducting materials, so the first to use high-end superconducting technology must be China.
If other countries want to use the relevant materials, they need to wait for domestic approval for the export of the relevant materials.
Because the sale of superconducting materials will definitely be very hot, there are many fields that can be applied, and they will definitely be in short supply in the short term, even if they spend money, it is not easy to buy materials.
Many people in the international public opinion are sighing, "I really didn't expect that in superconducting technology, the first to develop high-end materials was China." ”
"They're really rising!"
"If they make a lot of material, will they sell it to other countries? Maybe it's better to use it yourself. ”
"Needless to say? Definitely! ”
"Whichever country makes this material, it will give priority to its own use!"
Public opinion takes into account mainly civilian, while the top brass considers strategic issues caused by technology.
Superconducting technology is too important.
Superconducting materials with a critical temperature of more than 120K also mean that many new technologies can be realized, and no country will want to be stuck by other countries in the important materials that science and technology "must".
European countries think so, and they hold special debate meetings for this purpose.
Pilos Tasker, an expert in superconducting materials, spoke at the meeting on the announcement of the achievements of the Ministry of Science and Technology, "The semi-topological theory was researched by Dr. Wang Hao, and the results he released may be reserved on some key technical issues. ”
"So it's normal for them to be able to give priority to superconducting materials with a transition temperature of more than 120K, but it's not necessarily whether this material can be used in industry."
"Not every superconducting material can be used in industry, and even iron-based processing materials may not be able to be used."
"We don't have information on the specific parameters of the material."
After saying a few words about the research results, Pilos-Tasker called for investment in the research and development of superconducting materials in various countries, "We need to invest a lot in this area, otherwise we may lose the qualification to join the competition in the future." ”
"It would be quite scary to fall behind in superconductivity technology......
Delegates from all over the world who attended the meeting also understood the importance of superconducting technology.
Superconductivity is not a single technology, and there are so many areas that can be impacted.
For example, what Europe lacks most is energy.
If a large number of superconducting materials with a transition temperature of more than 120 K can be obtained, they can be used to make superconducting energy storage devices, which may change the logic of energy and balance the demand for energy over a year's time.
On the contrary, if they lag behind others in superconducting technology and demand for superconducting materials, their economic development may be greatly affected, and their international discourse and influence will also be subject to many restrictions.
At the same time, Bookhaven National Laboratory.
Arthur House, the director of the superconducting materials project, also knew about the announcement of the results issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, and he was shocked and even completely unbelievable when he saw the announcement.
Before Arthur House could digest the information, the Department of Energy had already sent investigators to inquire about it.
The investigators wanted to know what Arthur House thought about the new results.
Arthur House spread his hands and said helplessly, "What can I think?" They have said that the research is done, they have said that there is material and you should go and ask them. ”
"I was shocked, even incredible."
"Their speed has exceeded my comprehension."
Arthur House added, "For example, our research hasn't started yet. ”
It's the truth.
Although the project team said a lot of things to the outside world, the work efficiency is here, and they just said the plan
We are still waiting for sponsorship from investors and government grants.
In recent times, the only thing they've done is to have a group of researchers build the framework of the relevant database, in other words, they're doing software work.
They also sent some people to persuade universities to join the consortium for superconductivity research.
These are all preparations.
Arthur House is still very optimistic about the project, he believes that both the government and enterprises will definitely support the research related to superconducting materials, but even if the speed is fast, the real research will not start until next year.
Outcome......
Already there are results on the Chinese side?
Arthur House has a very ridiculous feeling, as if everyone is running a marathon together, and before the referee has even fired a shot, someone has already run to the finish line?
Isn't that a violation?
All right.
There is no such thing as a violation of the competition in scientific and technological research and development, but it is ...... How can this be compared?
……
After completing the research on materials with a critical temperature of 132K, Wang Hao did not continue to stay in the experimental group, because even if he continued to study, he could not improve much.
This is mainly due to the lack of theoretical support.
The research on superconducting materials has crossed a stage, and even if it is a technical improvement, it has almost reached the top, and even if it can be improved, it is only a quantitative change.
For example, from 132k to 135k.
The promotion of this level also has a certain significance, but he doesn't need to interfere at all.
Wang Hao still has work to deal with, for example, arranging for a few new algebraic geometry scholars.
These experts in algebraic geometry are all from the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences, and their ability level is definitely not questionable, especially one of the researchers named Meng Guosheng, who can be said to be the top figures in the field of algebraic geometry in China.
Several experts in algebraic geometry from the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences joined the research, which can be said to have made the calculation team grow a lot, with a total of 30 people, and even the level of personnel has been improved a lot.
Wang Hao knew that they were introduced by Academician Yan Shiqing, and he couldn't help but have a good impression of Yan Shiqing in his heart.
He and Yan Shiqing didn't know each other.
The only thing I know is that Yan Shiqing was appointed as the director of the research center, and then for unknown reasons, he never came to take office.
Later, Deng Huanshan was appointed director.
"Probably old?"
"The old academician in his 60s is almost time to retire, and he will not be able to exert much residual heat when he is transferred to Xihai to work......"
Wang Hao also had a headache about the work of the computing team.
In fact, the main work of the computation group is to study the relationship between the element combinations, not to calculate the superconducting critical temperature corresponding to the element combinations.
However, due to the lack of a basis for "superconducting critical temperature corresponding to element combinations", there is no evidence of the relationship between element combinations, and the latter has become the main work.
Wang Hao also thinks about the approach of the Bookhaven Laboratory, which is the lead in forming a university alliance to participate in the calculation of element combinations in the project.
In fact, in terms of the domestic system, there is no need to form any university alliances, and it is easy for the Science Foundation to complete this work, and they can publish corresponding projects for element combinations, and algebraic geometry experts from various universities can take over the projects and conduct research.
This makes it easy to aggregate the data.
Wang Hao and Wu Hui talked about this problem, Wu Hui is the director of the Superconductivity Office of the Science Foundation, and he is directly responsible for this part of the content.
After listening to Wang Hao's idea, Wu Hui expressed strong support, "Your suggestion is very good, and the direct release of the project for the combination of elements is equivalent to allowing capable algebraic geometry scholars to participate in the research and development of superconductivity." ”
"I'll write a detailed plan and discuss it, and this thing will definitely pass."
"Don't worry, the direction of superconductivity is the most important thing now, whether it is funding or projects, the approval is very simple, and it is estimated that some projects will be released next month."
Wu Hui's assurance reassured Wang Hao.
With the support of the Science Foundation, the research is equivalent to bringing together all the experts in algebraic geometry in China to work together on superconducting elements
Combined studies.
At that time, the calculation team only needs to study the relationship between the combination of elements, and the workload will be greatly reduced and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
……
End of June.
Wang Hao and Deng Huanshan arrived in the capital together to attend a high-level meeting organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
This time, the content of the conference was to create a new enterprise for the new results, and they came to explain the results, technologies and theories.
Because the participants are all senior leaders with decision-making power, they do not need to make a special professional report, just go to the meeting to explain the new results.
Wang Hao and Deng Huanshan are both researchers, and they don't need to participate in any voting or the like.
The work was completed after they had made presentations at the meeting.
Soon.
The meeting voted on the results.
The establishment of a new enterprise was decided by the senior leaders, and Wang Hao also walked out of the venue with others.
He walked with Xu Baogong.
Wang Hao knows many high-level leaders, Xu Baogong belongs to the "middle position, the deputy minister level is definitely ***, but compared to the minister, or even a higher-level official, it is actually nothing."
Wang Hao still chatted with Xu Baogong more, because he felt that Xu Baogong was relatively closer, and Zhao Enshun had a very leading temperament, so people couldn't get close.
Xu Baogong and Wang Hao talked about the content of the meeting, and also talked about the future development of the new enterprise, "The core of the new enterprise is the manufacture of superconducting materials. Although it has not yet been decided, it is likely that the site will be in the West Sea. ”
"Because of the research center?" Wang Hao asked suspiciously.
"Yes."
Xu Baogong nodded definitely, "In addition, considering confidentiality, Xihai is a very good place, for us, because we don't have to worry about the market, technical confidentiality is more important than others." ”
"Also, you probably don't know."
He said with a smile, "Some leaders also talked about you, and there is a decision related to you." ”
"What is it?"
Wang Hao is really a little curious.
Xu Baogong said with a smile, "It's good news, I'm very envious, the leader said that you should be given the best treatment, because you have played the most important role in research, whether it is theory or material research, even if you consider patent issues, you should be given the best treatment." ”
Wang Hao listened and asked suspiciously, "Is it a bonus?" "He's looking forward to the prize money.
For such an important scientific and technological achievement, how much bonus can the superior give?
Ten million?
Xu Baogong shook his head and smiled, "It's shares." ”
"Shares?"
"Yes, it should be a point, it's not certain yet, but it won't be below zero five points."
Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help but open his mouth wide in surprise, he rarely had such a surprised time, but what Xu Baogong said was really shocking.
A point?
What a concept!
The initial investment amount of the newly established enterprise is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, and it may be more than 50 billion yuan if it is not surprising.
One point represents 500 million.
And that's just the beginning.
When it comes to manufacturing's monopoly, properties, and industrial superconducting materials, new companies will definitely have tremendous development, and in the next few years, the value will snowball, and the minimum is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan.
At that time, even if the shares are reduced, 500 million will easily become 500 million, or even more.
Wang Hao felt that he was "bought, but he couldn't say anything to refuse."
In fact, the leadership decided to give Wang Hao shares also considered, because Wang Hao is so important, he alone can withstand thousands of scientific researchers.
In addition, the development of new enterprises is inseparable from the superconducting materials research center, and the future research and development is inseparable from the theoretical support given by Wang Hao.
Wang Hao's research interests are many.
If his research focus is biased towards superconductivity, it may bring a huge boost to new enterprises, in other words, the development of new enterprises is directly related to Wang Hao.
How can Wang Hao do research with his heart
Share!
Wang Hao owns the enterprise
The shares of the industry will certainly be more focused on technical research.
The lure of money in Chiguoguo......
……
Wang Hao was knocked down by money.
He returned to Xihai University happily, and the joy in his heart was not at all at all at the thought that he could get a little share.
After returning to Xihai University, he still lived a peaceful life, and spent most of his time in the Mason Mathematics Laboratory, thinking about the next research ideas, and also caring about the projects of the laboratory and guiding the students.
There is good news on this day.
Qiu Hui'an completed the paper proving the Legend's conjecture, and Wang Hao, as his supervisor and corresponding author, helped him submit the paper to Acta Mathematica Sinica.
Wang Hao's paper as the corresponding author is naturally different from Qiu Hui'an's own submission.
As soon as the editor of Acta Mathematica Sinica saw that the manuscript had Wang Hao's name, he directly passed the first trial and entered the second review of peer review.
Wang Hao was also happy for Qiu Hui'an in his heart.
After completing this research, Qiu Hui'an can be said to be a "teacher", and the Le Jeander conjecture is not a major conjecture, but it can also be said to be a medium-level conjecture in the field of number theory.
There is no such policy in China, but Le Jeander conjecture can even be put into the mathematics club as a master's thesis to win a Zhong Jiaqing Mathematics Award.
At the same time, it is enough for Qiu Hui'an to get an associate professor position in any university in China in advance, and he will say "number theory expert" when he goes out.
Wang Hao felt a special sense of accomplishment for the success of students.
He hopes that every student can be as good as Qiu Hoi An, but unfortunately, excellent students are always in the minority.
So far, Xu Jie still hasn't found his way.
Xu Jie knew that Qiu Hui'an had completed the proof of Le Jeande's conjecture, so he felt even more lost, and he also came to Wang Hao to ask for his direction.
Wang Hao hesitated and asked, "Xu Jie, if you just want to graduate with a master's degree, you can just find a direction, right?"
Although Xu Jie's mathematics level is the worst among the students, it is only compared with Chen Mengmeng, Qiu Hui'an and others, in fact, compared with other students, Xu Jie is still very good, and it is not difficult for Xu Jie to complete an ordinary master's thesis.
Apparently.
Xu Jie's object of comparison is Qiu Hui'an, and the worst is Chen Mengmeng, who hopes to complete a better paper, and the minimum requirement is to publish a professional SCI.
"Or ...... it else"
Wang Hao thought of an idea, "You are going to do research with Mr. Zhang Zhiqiang?"
"Teacher Zhang?" Xu Jie didn't understand.
Wang Hao said, "If it is pure mathematical research, you are indeed worse in this regard, but when you do mathematical computer research, it is not necessarily." ”
"Mathematical Computer ......"
Xu Jie was a little hesitant, he naturally knew what Wang Hao meant, and he felt a big blow in his heart.
What Wang Hao means is that he is not as good as others in the study of pure mathematics, so he can consider the direction of mathematical computers, for example, Luo Dayong's complexity theory, which belongs to the direction of mathematical computers.
Zhang Zhiqiang's research is biased towards computers, but there is also some mathematical content, but it is used relatively rarely.
Now Xu Jie's mathematical ability is not worse than Zhang Zhiqiang, so he is likely to surpass Zhang Zhiqiang in the future when he does research in the direction of mathematics and computer.
Xu Jie walked out of the office, feeling a little lonely.
Now he has realized that he is indeed inferior to others in the study of pure mathematics, but he is still very unwilling in his heart.
But that's the reality.
He knew it was only a matter of time before he accepted.
After Wang Hao and Xu Jie finished talking about the direction, they went to the office next to them to find Zhang Zhiqiang, but it was not for Xu Jie's question, but about the bonus.
The space agency project has come to an end.
There is a large amount of surplus in the project funds, and Wang Hao plans to give a bonus to the personnel of the laboratory.
Because there are many people involved in the project, it is impossible for Wang Hao to distribute the bonus according to statistics, and the project bonus is best divided according to work
With it, the complicated statistics and distribution work will be handed over to Zhang Zhiqiang to complicate it.
Wang Hao also emphasized a sentence, "Send tens of thousands to yourself...... Thirty thousand. ”
"Do I have it too?"
Zhang Zhiqiang was immediately excited when he heard this.
He did not directly participate in the space agency's project, but he also did a lot of work in every corner, and he could get a bonus of 30,000 yuan, and his work was not in vain.
Wang Hao didn't care and said, "Thirty thousand, don't be too little." ”
"A lot, a lot!"
Zhang Zhiqiang hurriedly waved his hand and smiled, he thought that he would have an extra income of 30,000 yuan, and when he went home, he told Yanzi, Yanzi would definitely be happy
When the two were talking, they saw Zhu Ping shaking her head in a big wave and happened to walk through the office door.
Zhang Zhiqiang couldn't help but whisper, "Wang Hao, look at Zhu Ping's head shape, it's really ......" He shook his head negatively, "She still thinks she is trendy, but in fact, she is several years old, and she looks like she is forty." ”
After he finished speaking, he added, "Our swallows are still young and beautiful." ”
Wang Hao tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Your swallow is ten years younger than Zhu Ping." ”
While they were talking, Luo Dayong walked in and greeted Zhang Zhiqiang, "Come and help me move tomorrow." ”
"Moving?"
Luo Dayong nodded, "Some time ago, I bought a suite and was already able to move in. He shook his head and explained, "No way, Zhu Ping's parents said that when they have children, they will live close and easy to take care of." ”
Zhang Zhiqiang grasped the point, and his eyes widened suddenly, "Guangxian Mansion? ”
"yes?"
"How much?"
"More than seven million." Luo Dayong said the price very honestly.
"Loans?"
"Full."
Zhang Zhiqiang suddenly became sour, "Dayong, how much did you earn this year?" was able to buy a house of more than 7 million yuan in full. ”
"It's not."
Luo Dayong shook his head and said, "How can I have so much money, Zhu Ping's parents helped add some." ”
"How much?"
Luo Dayong said, "More than six million." ”
“……“
“……“
Zhang Zhiqiang tugged at the corners of his mouth vigorously and sighed, "Dayong, I really envy you." Now I just found out that Zhu Ping is so beautiful~~~"
