Although the intention of cooperation was tentatively reached, Professor Tillman Lent did not leave.

Including a team he brought over, they also temporarily settled here in Jinling.

The transaction of "high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material technology" for "ASDEX controllable nuclear fusion reactor" is a major event, and both parties must fully confirm each other's qualifications and transaction technology.

In the hotel room, a middle-aged and elderly Germanic materials expert with a towering nose stands by the window, looking out at the lights in the distance.

"Bruce, do you want some?" Behind him, another companion pushed open the door with champagne and glasses in his hand and walked in.

Bruce Valker, who was standing in front of the window and looking out at the scenery, turned around and said, "Then come a little, drink some champagne to help you sleep." ”

His companion walked in, poured some champagne for him, and then stood in front of the window with him, looking at the bright lights in the distance and sighing: "The development of Huaguo is so fast, the scale of urbanization is much larger than that of Hamburg." ”

Hearing this, Bruce Valker asked curiously, "Have you ever been to Huaguo before?" ”

The companion smiled and nodded: "Well, ten or twenty years ago, when I traded HL-2 with them, I came here once as a dispatch expert, and their development was still very backward at that time. ”

"It's incredible how much has changed in more than a decade."

"I heard that the city has a permanent population of more than 30 million, but there is no such large city in our country, and the population of Berlin is only 4 million."

Bruce Valker laughs: "It's not a good thing for a city to have too many people, so what's the point of living in a pigeon cage?" ”

"Berlin has a small population, but everyone has their own home."

Hearing this, Claire Brian, who was holding champagne, smiled, looked up at the window and did not excuse herself.

In fact, Bruce Valker's views are actually more representative of most of the Germanic people, and for most Germanic people, pride is engraved in their bones.

Not to mention facing a country that is lagging behind them.

In comparison, he is more rational and outlier, probably because he often goes on business trips, and he has seen the development of many countries.

For more than ten years, given to Berlin or Hamburg, there may not be any change at all. But given to this country, it can become a complete stranger.

Squinting his eyes at the scenery outside for a while, Bruce Walker suddenly spoke: "You said that tomorrow Professor Xu, is there really a way for us to see the industrial mass production of that kind of high-temperature superconducting material?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, he made this kind of material public, it seems like it was November or December last year, right? It's only three or four months before you can commercialize a product in the lab? Do you think he can do it? ”

He has no opinion on the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics and the Huaguo Trading ASDEX device.

After all, the ASDEX device has been decommissioned, and it is not his turn to call the shots.

However, Bruce is seriously skeptical of Huaguo's ability to innovate in science and technology, especially in materials, a discipline that relies heavily on experience and past data.

After all, in his impression, China has always been a relatively backward third world country, even if the economic weight has now climbed to the second place in the world, but in his opinion, it is only relying on a huge number of people to do so.

If you want to convert the economy per capita, the Germanic states can win by a crushing advantage.

And in his consistent memory, Huaguo has always been in the stage of catching up with science and technology, and now a scientific and technological achievement leading the world has suddenly emerged, how can people not be surprised.

More critically, this is the field of superconductivity in the field of materials.

How long has Huaguo developed in this field?

Decade? Fifteen years?

Twenty years is definitely not there anyway.

In this area, they have been studying since the last century, and the experience and data they have accumulated are far from being comparable to those of China.

In this case, the world's top high-temperature superconducting material suddenly appeared in Huaguo, which is even more incredible.

On the side, Claire Brian, who was holding champagne, thought for two seconds and said, "If it were anyone else, maybe I would still be a little suspicious like you." ”

"But I still want to believe in the results of Professor Xu's research."

After a pause, he added: "And judging from the samples sent to us by Professor Xu last year, they did it." At least in the area of high-temperature superconducting materials, he is ahead of us. ”

"It's unbelievable." Bruce Walker shook his head and said.

Claire Bryan laughed, "Actually, it's fine. ”

Hearing this, Bruce Valker cast a puzzled gaze.

Claire Bryan took a sip of champagne from the glass in her hand, and continued: "If you have learned about the achievements and achievements of that Professor Xu, you will find that what is a miracle for others is nothing more common for him. ”

"Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, Two Seven Millennium Problems, Solutions to Nuclear Waste, Artificial SEI Films"

"If you put these results on someone else, even if you are the top scientist, it will take a lifetime to study, but when you put them on him, it seems that they are no more ordinary."

"Throughout the history of human civilization, there are only a handful of people who can have achieved this kind of thing from him."

"Like Einstein, Newton, or Maxwell, and a few others, his research and results can change the world."

Bruce Valker smacked his lips and said, "You think so highly of him. ”

Claire Bryan smiled and said, "It's not my evaluation, it's the academic community's evaluation of him." ”

After a pause, he added: "In fact, his real achievements are not in the field of materials, materials are just the tip of his iceberg." ”

In two months, it is quite difficult to turn a laboratory product into an industrial product if it is given to someone else.

However, for Xu Chuan, or for high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials that have been industrially produced, this is not difficult.

After Gao Hongming handed over the list of qualified domestic manufacturers to him last year, he selected suitable manufacturers to carry out cooperative production.

For more than two months, although there was a Chinese New Year in between, it didn't affect anything.

For him, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.

As long as the overtime pay is enough, let alone the New Year, the Chinese people are even willing to work on gasoline 24 hours a day.

Although this sounds a little funny, it is actually quite sad.

In China, those capitalists are about to become the norm for those capitalists to pay for overtime, and there is no overtime pay for overtime, and there is no compensatory leave for compensatory leave; Not to mention labor treaties, even the Geneva Conventions are not comparable.

Of course, this kind of thing can't happen in Xu Chuan's hands, but it's still possible to use attractive overtime pay and compensatory time off to attract those workers to stay and work during the Chinese New Year to build an industrial line for the production of superconducting materials.

After confirming the cooperation, Western Superconducting Materials Technology Co., Ltd. quickly began to renovate the production line originally used to produce copper oxide-based superconducting materials.

Although the main assembly line has not yet been transformed, one of the small single production lines has completed the deployment of equipment and related procedures in accordance with the industrial production technology given by Xu Chuan.

Although the industrial zone is on the side of the Chang'an Jing River, it is not a big deal for the developed transportation in China.

The next day, Xu Chuan and Fan Pengyue arrived in Chang'an, where the production plant of the Western Superconductor Group is located in the Chang'an Jinghe Industrial Park, with a team of engineers from the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics.

The general manager of the Western Superconductor Group, who is in charge of superconducting materials, took the team to wait at the high-speed rail station to greet him.

After greeting people at the high-speed rail station, the group did not waste time and went straight to Jinghe Industrial Park.

Like others, Xu Chuan is also the first time to come here, and the first time to see the production base of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials.

What was originally a neatly planned building for the production of low-temperature copper oxide superconducting materials is now a bit cluttered.

Workers in hard hats are busy back and forth in the factory, and the parts and equipment on the ground show that the place is not finished.

Du Yingrong, general manager of Western Superconductor Group, said with a smile: "Academician Xu, this is the main production line of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials. ”

"According to the current progress, it is predicted that the renovation will be completed and construction will start around March 5. The daily output capacity is about 2.5 tons at full load."

Xu Chuan listened to Du Yingrong's introduction, and his eyes fell on the factory under construction.

The output of 2.5 tons can be said to be low in the ordinary materials industry, but in the field of high-temperature superconducting materials, this value is already good.

For example, the BI series of high-temperature superconducting materials that have been industrialized in a small part of the Sakura country have an annual output value of about 1,500 tons.

With a daily output value of 2.5 tons, the annual output can also reach more than 900 tons, although the quantity is not much, but it is more than enough to meet the needs of CERN's orders and the needs of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project.

As for the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, since they are asking for technology exchange, it is impossible for him to provide high-temperature superconducting materials for free.

"What about the small, single-line line? Can it be produced now? Take us to see it. After visiting the transformation of the main production line, Xu Chuan asked upward.

Hearing this, Du Yingrong hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, it is in production now, please follow me." ”

Following Du Yingrong, the group walked towards the small pilot production line.

In another, slightly smaller building, there is a bulky production facility.

In terms of appearance, the appearance of this device is somewhat different from that of conventional equipment, it is a bit like a starfish, with the core area in the middle, and the assembly line around it is like a starfish leg, lying horizontally on the bottom of the sea.

And from the individual parts of this device, it is obvious that it was pieced together by disassembling different equipment.

If no one introduces it, I'm afraid no one will think that this strange-looking device is a device that can industrially produce superconducting materials.

Of course, it doesn't matter what the device looks ugly and weird.

This is just a pilot device, and it is enough to be able to produce high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials.

When it comes to materials, appearance is never as good as practicality.

For Xu Chuan and the team of engineers at the Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, no one cares about its appearance, only whether it can produce high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials.

After Du Yingrong brushed the permission, the group changed into protective clothing, put on masks and goggles and entered the factory.

The workshop for the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is a standard ten-level sterile workshop.

This level of workshop is sufficient for the production and manufacture of most of the pharmaceutical, precision semiconductor, biological sterile and other materials.

Although theoretically speaking, the production of copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials does not require such a high-level workshop, about 1,000 levels are sufficient.

After all, this material is not a fragile product that will be contaminated when it comes into contact with air, but when Western Superconductor Group builds a test line, it still follows the top aseptic workshop standards.

After receiving permission, several Planck Institute of Plasma Physics engineers and materials researchers scattered around, looking around the odd-looking device.

With a look of suspicion and contempt, but also a hint of curiosity, Bruce Valker carefully examined the equipment in front of him.

To be honest, even if he is a professional materials researcher, he has been in various material production plants many times, and has seen countless material production equipment, he can't imagine how this equipment in front of him can achieve nano-scale ultra-fine material processing.

After all, the structure of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is nanoscale.

Although the nano level is not high, but to the nano level, it means that the breakthrough of technology has reached the current world's top level, to achieve this fine level of processing, the requirements for equipment are still quite high.

And the more he looked at this, the more strange it became.

However, the equipment that is constantly producing high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials has shattered the suspicion and contempt in his heart without hesitation.

At least, in the immediate future, it is indeed capable of producing high-temperature superconducting materials.

Claire Brian, who was on the side, stood beside Xu Chuan after observing the operation of the equipment, and asked, "Are these all the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials?" ”

Xu Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, "No, the processing and synthesis of some basic materials are in other places. But this device is the core, it can synthesize the processed base materials into superconducting materials and shape them into the shapes you need, such as lines, plates, circles, etc. ”

After a pause, he added: "Of course, there are not many shapes that this machine can process, after all, it is only experimental. The production line that we just saw outside that is still under construction is almost enough to meet most of the shape needs. ”

On the other side, Bruce Walker, who had finished looking at the equipment, asked in a skeptical tone: "Can it really produce high-temperature superconducting materials that meet excellent standards?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled faintly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can take a part of the material that has just been processed for testing and see if it can meet your needs." ”

"It's a must, if you don't say it, I'll ask for it!"

With the last stubborn suspicion, Bruce Valker said with a serious face.

Xu Chuan glanced at him and said indifferently: "If you know, you can do experiments to verify it yourself." ”

PS: I went to the hospital today, and I was delayed a lot, so I'll update a chapter first, I'll continue to write it, and I'll make it up tomorrow. Ask for everyone's guaranteed monthly pass.
