Xu Chuan did not expect that the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem could win two Nobel Prizes so quickly.

It was a joyful thing, but he didn't pay too much attention to it

After all, for him, things in the field of astronomy can't change much at the moment.

Even if the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem can help mankind find a second life planet in the vast universe in the future, it will be a matter for the future.

Right now, it is quite difficult for human beings to even leave the earth, talk about interstellar migration.

But what he didn't care about was completely different in the hands of other scholars.

New Zealand's astrophysics professor Vogt Armstrong was stunned when he heard that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physics for 19 years. So much so that when the reporter came to the door, he was still in a trance.

Chasing hot topics is a must-do for every news outlet, and the annual announcement of Nobel laureates is undoubtedly one of the biggest hot spots in the scientific community.

So after this year's physics prize was announced, New Zealand's largest media outlet, 'NZME Quest', quickly found the winner, Professor Vogt Armstrong.

"Professor Vogt, how do you feel about winning the Nobel Prize in Physics this time?"

Vogt Armstrong replied with an honest face: "I was actually very confused, because I really didn't expect that I would win the Nobel Prize one day. ”

The reporter of NZME quickly asked: "I heard that your previous discovery was based on a mathematical theory, is this true?" ”

Vogt Armstrong nodded and thanked him: "Yes, so I have to thank Professor Xu in particular, if it weren't for his Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, I might still be just an ordinary professor today, and I would never have been able to touch the Nobel Prize." ”

The reporter then asked: "I heard that this mathematical tool can calculate four-dimensional space, do you think it is really possible?" ”

Vogt Armstrong thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't answer you precisely in this question. ”

"Although I did use Professor Xu's tool to complete the calculation of the 'TRAPPIST-1' galaxy, in fact, what I used and understood was only the tip of the iceberg of this mathematical tool."

NZME reporter: "Incredible, is it really so exaggerated? You can say that you know the physicist the most about this tool. ”

Vogt quickly shook his head and said, "To correct me, the physicist who knows this tool best is not me, but Professor Xu. ”

"If you want to know more about this tool, you should interview Professor Xu, and he can give you the answers."

After a pause, Professor Vogt continued, "But for your previous question, if I had to give an answer, I think it would do!" ”

"Of course, this will definitely require Professor Xu to take action personally. Others are almost impossible! ”

Interviews with NZME probe media spread quickly, and a Nobel laureate personally endorsed that the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem may be able to calculate the channels of high-dimensional space, which has indeed caused quite a stir in the academic community and the Internet.

However, Xu Chuan didn't know anything about it, and no one came to him or interviewed him.

He was on his way to the Kawakai Materials Research Institute.

The institute is managed by his elder brother Fan Pengyue, and after the patent authorization and sale of artificial SEI films, he has gained billions of working capital, so the institute began to recruit and expand, and I don't know what the specific situation is now.

While there is still plenty of time available, it's time to go to the institute and arrange some tasks.

After all, after spending so much money to expand the venue, buy equipment, and recruit researchers, it is impossible to be idle.

Moreover, in his plan, the research and development tasks of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute will be linked to the controlled nuclear fusion project.

The most important thing is the research of superconducting materials.

The controlled nuclear fusion project began, and the superconducting material had to be developed before the reactor at the core could be modified, otherwise his arrangements and plans would be hindered.

The new office address of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute is still near Purple Mountain, but it has moved out of the original building, found a suitable building nearby, and rented a full three floors as a new base.

Now three or four months have passed, and everything has been transferred in terms of personnel and equipment.

When Xu Chuan came to the new base of the institute, Senior Brother Fan was interviewing a scientific researcher, and when he saw him coming, he quickly asked a few questions and ended his work. The researcher who came for the interview looked confused.

"Done so quickly?" Xu Chuan glanced at the interviewer curiously. The other party seemed to recognize him, but he didn't recognize him, so he frequently looked back and wanted to confirm, but he didn't dare to stay in the office, and finally turned around and left.

Fan Pengyue said with a smile: "It's not big, the boss has come to inspect." It's going to have to be a priority. ”

After a pause, he explained again: "The researcher has already interviewed three rounds just now, and the information and resume are very good, today I just talked about my views on the work and salary requirements, and it is estimated that I should be able to come to work next week." ”

Xu Chuan didn't care too much, and said, "Well, you can control this aspect." Personnel or something, the most important thing is not much, especially the background, it must be clean, pay attention not to mix in the room or something. ”

After all, with the emergence of artificial SEI films, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute has officially entered the eyes of major manufacturers in the materials industry.

Shopping malls are very common in shopping malls.

The domineering president of those waves his hand and then solves the difficulty or something, which basically only exists.

And the real business competition is often the most unpretentious, what old employees suddenly delete the library and run away, what chairman over the wall to secretly take pictures, what former chairman led several big men to snatch the official seal, what company manager took the lead in destroying the competitor's bicycle saddle

Therefore, in terms of personnel recruitment, it is better to be slow than to recruit innocent.

Of course, in the follow-up research and development, various confidentiality agreements and some preventive measures will definitely not be less, so as to ensure that the research and development results will not be leaked to the greatest extent.

After brewing two cups of tea, Fan Pengyue smiled and said, "Why do you have time to come here today, do you need to study any new materials?" ”

The relationship between the two of them is still somewhat different from that of ordinary bosses and workers, and when the two are together, they do not have the seriousness of traditional bosses and subordinates.

Xu Chuan took a sip of the teacup, nodded and said with a smile: "Since you have chosen to expand the research institute, you must study the materials." ”

"What are you going to do this time?" Fan Pengyue asked curiously.

He still knows a little about this fellow disciple, and it can be said that if he doesn't make a move, he will do it, and making a move is an earth-shattering goal.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "There are two pieces of superconducting materials and carbon materials." ”

"It's all hot areas in the market." Fan Pengyue smiled: "Is there a specific direction?" After all, the direction of these two pieces is too broad, and it is impossible to try them one by one. ”

"Although the patent of artificial SEI film has made a lot of money, it is not such a waste, is it?"

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course." ”

"The research scope of superconducting materials is aimed at copper-carbon-silver composite materials, and as for carbon materials, the main research is graphene and carbon nanotubes."

Hearing this, Fan Pengyue touched his chin and said: "If you are talking about superconducting materials, presumably your goal is to go to high-temperature superconductivity or even room-temperature superconductivity, are you more optimistic about copper-carbon and silver matching materials?" ”

He studied materials physics with Chen Zhengping for several years, and in charge of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute for the past two years, he has a deep understanding of various materials on the market.

There is no doubt that superconducting materials are one of the key directions of investment research in all countries.

Superconducting materials, often referred to as "superconductors", do not simply refer to the material as 'fully conductive'.

The so-called zero resistance is just one of the three most well-known properties of superconducting materials.

As early as the beginning of the twentieth century, various gases were liquefied under the guidance of gas theory.

Among them, the physicist Annis of the windmill country successfully liquefied helium, the last "stubborn gas" on the earth, in 1908, and obtained a low temperature of 4.2K close to absolute zero, about minus 269 °C.

In 1911, when Onnis et al. cooled metal mercury with liquid helium to study the resistance behavior of metal at low temperatures, they found that the resistance of mercury did not gradually decrease with the decrease in temperature as expected, but dropped sharply when the temperature dropped to about 4.2 K, equivalent to minus 268.98 °C, and even disappeared completely.

This is the first step for superconductors to land on the world stage, and the first property of superconducting materials has been discovered, which is zero resistance.

Subsequently, in 1933, the Germanic physicists Meissner and Ollingfeld jointly discovered another important feature of superconductors - complete diamagnetism.

The so-called complete diamagnetism refers to the fact that when the material is in a superconducting state, the magnetic field will be completely repulsed, and the magnetic induction intensity in the superconductor will be zero, a phenomenon known as the "Meissner effect".

This is the second most important property of superconducting materials.

In 1957, three physicists, Bardeen, Cooper, and Schriever, came up with the famous theory of BCS.

The BCS theory treats superconductivity as a macroscopic quantum effect, and successfully explains the microscopic mechanism of superconductivity in metal or alloy superconductors, which is called the 'macroscopic quantum effect'.

So far, the three major properties of superconducting materials have been revealed to the world.

It is a new material with three basic properties: complete conductivity, complete diamagnetism, and macroscopic quantum effects.

Based on these three characteristics of superconducting materials, the application fields of superconducting materials are incomparably wide.

For example, by using the zero resistance properties and complete diamagnetism of superconducting materials, large currents can be loaded to realize disruptive technologies such as high current transport, strong magnetic fields, and magnetic levitation.

Or based on the quantum tunneling effect, superconductivity can be applied to quantum computing and realize weak magnetic field detection, etc

Therefore, superconducting materials are widely used in various fields such as power transmission, medical equipment, electronic communications, national defense, military affairs, and scientific research.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a material that changes the pattern of the world.

And with his understanding of this little junior brother, if he wants to study superconducting materials, he is basically going to superconductivity at room temperature.

His little junior brother's ambition or ambition is really not small.

If it succeeds, it will be terrible.

He will completely rewrite the history of human civilization and bring it into a new era.
