Chapter 375: One Gram, One Hundred Million Dollars!
Superconducting Materials Research Center. Portal.
A car slowly stopped, the side door opened from the inside, and Wang Hao walked out of the car. Deng Huanshan and Wang Hui immediately greeted him, "Academician Wang, here!"
"Academician Wang!"
Wang Hao nodded at Deng Huanshan, touched Wang Hui's hand, and then walked quickly into the research center and went straight to the office in the experimental room on the second floor.
It was his office.
Wang Hao rarely comes to the Superconducting Materials Research Center, but he also has the position of deputy director of the research center, and has direct decision-making power over the affairs of the research center.
Deng Huanshan and Wang Hui also followed together.
When I arrived at the office, a staff member helped make coffee, brought it to the three of us and left.
At this time, Wang Hui spoke with a little excitement, "Academician Wang, have you read the report? We conducted an experiment and came to the conclusion that the superconducting critical temperature of an iron-based compound synthesized by mutant iron was 14 K higher than that of the conventional one."
Deng Huanshan added the details, "C014. The critical temperature of superconductivity is 93 K, but the critical temperature of C014, which is synthesized using mutant iron, is around 107 K."
"We all found this discovery very valuable." Wang Hao listened and nodded.
He took a sip of his coffee and thought for himself, "You've only conducted one experiment?" Deng Huanshan said helplessly, "There are too few materials."
"It's only over two grams, to be exact." Wang Hui added, "I have been doing this work for more than a month, but the content of mutated elements in the submitted materials is too low."
Wang Hao asked suspiciously, "Didn't we provide more materials?"
"The main problem is refinement."
"The raw materials are sufficient, but because the content of mutated iron is very low, we need physicochemical methods, a total of 27 steps, to refine the mutated iron," Wang explained.
"This is still an improved process, we have determined the physical properties of the mutated iron, and improved the screening mechanism......
"Another limitation is the lack of manpower, the funding is also a problem, there are many operations that need to be done manually, can only be refined in a laboratory environment, and there are several steps that also require vacuum, high pressure and high temperature environments, and some specific equipment. The equipment in our lab is a bit outdated......
Wang Hao was surprised, he thought for a moment and said, "In this way, I will help you apply for funding, and you must ensure that the refining speed is increased, and the mutation element is an area that must be invested in a lot of research."
Wang Hui immediately said happily, "Then thank you, Academician Wang!" "No thanks, that's our research as well."
After understanding the problem of refining mutated elements, they began to discuss the problem of superconductivity experiments.
Although only one experiment was conducted, it can also be determined that the superconducting critical temperature of iron-based compounds synthesized by mutated iron elements is indeed relatively high.
This conclusion is acceptable.
Some relevant studies have been done before, and the chemical properties of the mutated iron element have not changed, but the physical properties have changed greatly compared to the conventional iron.
For example, the melting and boiling points of mutated iron have been increased. For example, the density of variant iron has also increased.
This time, the laboratory verified the superconductivity properties, but considering the cost of the experiment and the scarcity of extracted materials, the corresponding iron-based superconducting materials were simply manufactured on this basis, and the results showed that the superconducting critical temperature of the corresponding iron-based superconducting materials was also increased.
The superconductivity of materials is a very specific physical property, but it is also within the range of physical properties.
Now that other physical properties have changed, it is normal for the superconducting critical temperature to increase. The result is normal, but the significance is significant.
"This is of great value to the study of superconducting materials." Deng Huanshan said with some excitement, "If we use this mutated material as the basis and then make the corresponding iron-based superconducting material, we may be able to improve the superconductivity critical problem."
"At present, the critical temperature of iron-based superconducting materials that we routinely use on a large scale is about 180K, and then increases, for example, more than 200K and 220K, and can be used in daily use in some special environments."
What Deng Huanshan said is a bit exaggerated, but it is true to a certain extent.
220K, which can be roughly calculated as minus 53 degrees.
In some extreme environments of the earth, the superconductivity critical problem of minus 53 degrees can indeed be used directly.
The ultimate goal of the research in the direction of superconducting materials is to create superconducting materials that can be used at room temperature, and a certain metal superconducting material can be used at room temperature, which will greatly change the life of human beings.
Nowadays, superconducting technology has developed vigorously, but the critical temperature of 180K is still too low, and coolant must be used to maintain superconductivity, so it is naturally impossible to achieve large-scale application.
Wang Hao naturally knew the meaning and value of it, he took a deep breath and said, "The results of this experiment are indeed of great significance. It seems that the mutant elements must be seriously studied."
He had always known that mutated elements were the main direction, but all along, the focus had been on increasing the intensity of F-rays, and only by increasing the intensity of the rays could more mutated elements be created.
Now, research has to go hand in hand.
Superconductivity is just too important.
If we can rely on mutated elements to create superconducting materials that can be used in daily life, the scientific and technological value and economic value contained in them are simply unimaginable.
That will completely change the life of human beings, will bring the level of human science and technology into a new era, and will truly lead mankind to achieve a new round of scientific and technological revolution.
However, it is also very difficult to study in an all-round way, one is the problem of material extraction, the study of mutated elements, it is definitely not only iron, other elements will also be mutated, but the content is very small, and it is impossible to do separation work at all.
Even if it is only for iron, more than two grams have only been isolated until now, and it must be very difficult to do research on a large scale.
This is especially true in the field of research on superconductivity.
First of all, they must rely on mutant elements to make a lot of iron-based superconducting materials, and then continue to conduct experiments to verify the properties of the materials, so as to increase their understanding of mutated iron elements.
It's not just a matter of substitution.
For example, the superconducting critical temperature may increase for a certain variant iron-based compound, but the superconducting critical temperature may decrease for another variant iron-based compound.
It's something that's uncertain.
In the field of superconductivity, a large number of experiments are required to study only conventional iron.
Now it's a new mutation element, and it's even more difficult. "Refining speed is a big issue."
Wang Hao finally said, "I will apply for funding from my superiors, and there will be more people involved in the work at that time."
"In addition, I will go back and think about whether to let other institutions join, it is just us, and doing such a large-scale research is a bit more than worth the loss."
"If more institutions can join, their research will also be made public, which is very beneficial for us, because only we can make ....."
...... At the same time.
International public opinion is still discussing the experimental research information released by the Anti-Gravity Laboratory.
Among them, the information related to the mutation element is the focus of much attention and the most discussed content of public opinion.
At the same time, there are also many doubts in public opinion, "It's just that the Anti-Gravity Morphology Research Center released the experimental results, but they didn't come up with the so-called mutation elements, and no one knows whether it's true or not."
"Maybe it's just fake news, or maybe it's a mistake in the experiment, but the results of this study are very vague."
"The International Organization for Annihilation Theories did not have this discovery, and I still believe in Empoli-Cooper more than the Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center......
Empoli – Cooper does deny mutations, but he is
The public was vague and only raised their own doubts and stated that they had found nothing.
Within the International Organization of Annihilation, Empoli-Cooper was able to say, "That's a disinformation."
"We didn't find anything. Even if the strength of the field force we create is lower, there will be a discovery in theory, not a lack of ..... at all."
This argument is very unscientific.
There is a possibility that the strength of the annihilation force field is not up to standard, and it will naturally be unable to create mutated elements.
However, there are still many people who support Empoli-Cooper, because the emergence of mutated elements does not correspond to previous science, and so far no so-called mutated elements have been discovered.
If there really is a so-called mutated element, it should be able to be extracted in nature.
Empoli-Cooper's claim is also tantamount to digging a hole for themselves, and they must continue to verify it according to the experimental results released by the Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center.
"We have no way of knowing for sure which of the experiments they released is true and which is fake."
"So we have to do our own validation, we only trust our own experiments."
Until most of the experimental validation is completed, there is no room for innovative research.
Outside the international annihilation theory organization, there are also many scholars who have questioned the mutated elements, and even public opinion has many doubts.
In fact, this is the result of the media guiding public opinion.
For many countries and institutions, doubts about mutated elements are only good and not harmful.
The Anti-Gravity Research Center is a research institution that they cannot grasp, and a large number of doubts can undermine the authority of the Anti-Gravity Research Center.
If the mutant element is real, a large number of skeptical voices may also force the Anti-Gravity Research Center to release more experimental data and evidence.
In fact, similar practices also illustrate the concerns of many institutions.
In the field of materials science, the countries and institutions led by American have always occupied a dominant position, and the domestic materials technology is far behind the highest international level, and even much larger than other scientific and technological fields.
For example, the chip field, which has attracted much attention from the public.
Compared with the international top level, there is a gap between domestic chip technology and the international top level, but there are also clear numbers for generations, and a lot of manpower and material resources may be invested in research, and there will be opportunities to catch up in a few years or more than ten years.
The field of materials is different.
Many top-notch materials cannot be made in China, not that research cannot be carried out, but research in the field of materials, investment is not necessarily rewarded, and many times the gains outweigh the losses.
For example, if a certain material in the civilian field has always relied on imports, there will be no large companies to invest in research.
Because even if a lot of manpower and material resources are invested and the corresponding manufacturing method is researched, the manufacturing cost may be higher than the import price, which means that the research has no economic value.
The market is also a key factor limiting the development of materials.
Now that a new mutant element has emerged, and only the Anti-Gravity Properties Research Center has created it using high-end technology, it is tantamount to opening up a whole new field of materials science.
This new field may lead to great progress and development in materials science. Crucially, they don't have the manufacturing capacity.
That's what worries a lot of institutions, that they're no longer going to have a technological monopoly in the materials space.
Public opinion fermented on this basis, and over time, conspiracy theories even took over, affecting the domestic public opinion situation.
Naturally, the mainstream public opinion in China will not criticize the Anti-Gravity Sex Research Center, but there are some special remarks, "Maybe this time is a smoke bomb, we have a monopoly on related technologies, and they have no way."
"That's the benefit of mastering the most advanced technology!"
"In the frontier field of annihilation physics, we have the most advanced technology, and we just publish an experimental result.
Even if it's fake news, it can have such a big impact......
"It's just that it's too much of an exaggeration to say that some mutated elements have been discovered!"
Of course, this strange atmosphere of public opinion cannot be allowed to develop, otherwise the Anti-Gravity Sex Research Center may be affected.
So Wang Hao stood up.
He was interviewed by a reporter from the most influential TV station in China, and said with certainty, "There is nothing wrong with the experiments we have released, they are all real, and there are no smoke bombs or conspiracies as stated by public opinion."
"As for the International Annihilation Theory Organization, they just didn't meet the technical standards and didn't create a stronger annihilation field."
"The extraction of mutated elements is very difficult, because the content is extremely small, and until now, we have invested a lot of money, manpower and material resources, and only a few grams have been extracted."
"Specific?"
"It's about a billion yuan."
Wang Hao estimated a number, "I'm not sure, it's just that the manufacturing cost is very high."
"We also know the reasons for the skepticism, so we are discussing whether to make the results public to the world or involve other institutions in the research."
"After all, technology belongs to all mankind!" ......
Wang Hao's personal influence is great.
He gave a public interview, explaining the authenticity of the experiment, and also said that disclosing the results to the world might involve other institutions in the research, which immediately changed the direction of public opinion.
There have been great changes in domestic public opinion, and international public opinion has also been greatly affected.
Many people are looking forward to the so-called sharing of results, or the question of involving other institutions in research, and some academics have sent emails asking questions.
One of the most typical is Novotini, who directly asks about the disclosure of results and whether there is any possibility of joint research in the future.
Novotini is one of the top scholars of the International Organization for the Theory of Annihilation, and he is still very influential internationally.
After Wang Hao saw the content of the email, he chuckled and understood the meaning.
In fact, Novotini is concerned with cooperation, not about the research of mutated elements, because the research of mutated elements is directly related to materials science, and in the field of Novotini, it must be more concerned about the manufacture of mutated elements, and in order to create mutated elements, it is necessary to be able to create a stronger annihilation force field.
Wang Hao replied with two sentences, "Mr. Novotini, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future in the research of the annihilation force field."
"As for the study of mutated elements..... "You'll know right away."
......
Novotini did find out very quickly. Two days later.
The science and technology department of the flower grower released information about the mutated elements, which immediately attracted major international attention.
The information released by the science and technology department can be described in one sentence, "We decided to share the extracted mutant iron elements with the international materials institute for joint research."
There is no further explanation in the follow-up.
Some of the big international institutions that responded quickly immediately contacted the science and technology department and also knew the way to 'share', and they needed to pay for the cost of manufacturing and extracting the mutant elements.
The specific price - one gram, one hundred million dollars.
