For this paper on ambient superconducting materials uploaded to Arxiv.

Xu Chuan did not draw conclusions easily, but watched the paper over and over again, thinking about the synthesis technology and various superconducting parameters inside.

Even if this synthesis method seems unusually 'outrageous' and 'rudimentary', he can't easily conclude the conclusion.

Maintaining consistent rigor in scientific research is a necessary motto in the life of a researcher.

Rubbing his eyes, Xu Chuan moved his body and leaned back on the back of the chair.

Judging from the paper on arxiv, the data of the room temperature superconducting material KL-66 uploaded by South Korea this time is not very perfect, and there are many things missing.

It felt a bit like he was in a hurry and passed on without any preparations.

In other words, it is a bit similar to the feeling of 'civil science', in order to set off heat and traffic, to create a big news.

To be honest, it's no surprise that he thinks this way.

After all, whether it is in the field of scientific research or other fields, all kinds of 'fake news' that have broken out in South Korea can be said to be the norm.

The importance of superconducting materials at room temperature is undoubted.

If it does, it will be a world-changing achievement.

In terms of its importance to human development, it may not be as important as controlled nuclear fusion technology.

But room-temperature superconductivity represents a change in the way energy is transmitted and stored, the pinnacle of energy efficiency. And it will give a huge boost to all areas of society that are common today.

If the controlled nuclear fusion technology is not realized, the superconducting materials at room temperature are realized first, which can also greatly reduce the problem of developing controlled nuclear fusion technology.

It can be said that in terms of flow and heat, this is an area that is hardly inferior to controlled nuclear fusion technology.

The use of room temperature superconducting materials to attract a wave of eyeballs is not something that cannot be done for that country.

So it is not unreasonable for him to have this suspicion.

Of course, the specific situation still has to be verified through experiments.

But before he could get up, another push popped up on the display screen.

Superconductor LK-66 exhibits suspension at room temperature and atmospheric pressure and its mechanism

Xu Chuan clicked and glanced at it, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Although the title and overview are somewhat different, is there any difference in the content of the same paper in the field of room temperature superconducting materials, which was also uploaded by researchers in South Korea?

You can't upload a paper twice, right?

Suddenly, he noticed the author's signature of the ARXIV paper.

Unlike the previous paper, this paper has six authors' signatures, while the previous one has only three.

This situation aroused his curiosity.

With a flick of his index finger, he downloaded the second paper.

Surprisingly, the second paper is much more detailed than the first, not only listing the relevant preparation methods, but also attaching a complete test report and experimental data for this KL-66 room-temperature superconducting material.

From this point of view, the second paper is more like something uploaded by a serious researcher.

"It's kind of interesting."

Looking at the two different papers, Xu Chuan touched his chin and thought about it.

Judging from the second paper, the mechanism and experimental data of this KL-66 room-temperature superconducting material are almost perfectly consistent with the detection data of superconducting materials, and do not look like fake data.

And from this point of view, if you substitute it, there may be no problem with the first article.

What about the first paper and the second paper, maybe to compete for scientific research results?

After all, according to the rules of academia, there are many awards that are given to the first person to propose or make the achievement.

For example, the Nobel Prize is not only awarded to the first person to produce results, but also limits the number of winners to a maximum of three.

The Nobel Prize is never awarded to a group, even if he leads the people of Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering to develop controlled nuclear fusion technology, the personnel of Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering will not win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, if Xu Chuan dismantles all the major problems in controlled nuclear fusion technology and takes them out, and announces them in the form of himself alone, or two or three people, there will be no problem at all in winning the Nobel Prize in the last four or five years.

Whether it is the control model of plasma turbulence, or the first wall material, or tritium self-sustaining technology, it is a proper and stable Nobel Prize-level achievement.

But he couldn't do that.

However, this room-temperature superconducting material called KL-66 is really possible.

It doesn't need it to be able to maintain superconductivity stably, it doesn't need to be a commercial product or anything, it only needs to be confirmed that it has superconducting properties, so it is appropriate for the discoverer to win the Nobel Prize.

If that's the case, it's not surprising that a paper like this is posted twice.

The previous paper was obviously first published in order to seize the results of the Nobel Prize.

If there are no opinions, there should be news about related accusations, hair pulling, etc. soon.

For this kind of thing, Xu Chuan, who has lived for two lifetimes, has long been surprised.

Of course, he is not interested in these things, but whether this room-temperature superconducting material of KL-66 can really be reproduced and has superconducting properties.

If this is true, combined with the room-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials in his hands that have not yet been announced, it is already obvious what it means.

This is enough to show that there is not only one route in the field of room-temperature superconducting materials.

It also means that mankind's previous cognition of materials science has taken a 'crooked path' to a large extent.

With interest, Xu Chuan quickly got up and prepared to go to the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute to do a replica experiment by himself.

True or not, he is currently interested in the synthesis of this simple room-temperature superconducting material.

If it is confirmed to be true, it means that materials science may usher in a super turn, and it can even be said to be a 'U-turn' development.

However, as soon as he walked out of the door of the office, he bumped into the full-time staff arranged by the senior management to come to him to discuss things.

"Academician Xu, are you in a hurry? Why don't we come back another day? ”

With another colleague, Gao Hongming just arrived at the door of the office and saw Xu Chuan who came out in a hurry.

Seeing Gao Hongming, Xu Chuan paused and stopped.

If there were no accidents, the higher-ups had already finished the discussion meeting on some of the things he had discussed with the old man before.

This efficiency is quite fast.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan said: "It's not a very urgent matter, since you are here, let's talk to you first." ”

As he spoke, he turned back to his office.

The verification of KL-66 room-temperature superconducting materials, if the experimental procedures in those two papers are followed, it will take at least three days to make the first batch of replica materials.

Now that the news has just been delivered, it is not very urgent. In addition, the replication experiment is quite simple, and it is not necessary for him to take action personally, and it is actually enough to find Fan Pengyue to arrange two researchers to conduct the replication experiment.

It's just that this road, if there is hope, will be a completely new track.

Bringing the two into his office, Xu Chuan made a pot of tea and handed it to the two of them.

After Gao Hongming took the teacup with both hands, put it on the tea table, and introduced: "Academician Xu, this is my colleague, Comrade Wen Yuanhang of the Department of Science and Technology and Strategic Planning. Due to my personal work transfer, Comrade Wen was arranged to take over the auxiliary management of the Qixia controllable nuclear fusion project where I had previously served. ”

"Including the subsequent transformation and reorganization of the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Engineering Research Institute, Comrade Wen will also cooperate with you to carry out the work."

Xu Chuan nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand to greet the middle-aged man in front of him who looked like a scholar: "Hello." ”

Wen Yuanhang smiled gently, shook his hand, and said, "I've heard of Academician Xu's name for a long time, and I finally have the opportunity to meet it today." ”

"The above attaches great importance to your opinions, and instructs us to cooperate with you in the work of science and technology. After a meeting and study, I will be arranged to come over to help you solve some daily work, and I will trouble you to take care of it in the future. ”

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Regarding the daily management work, I will have to trouble you in the future." I'm just a scholar here, I'm good at scientific research, and I have to leave the management to professionals. ”

Wen Yuanhang nodded and said, "Please rest assured, Academician Xu, I am here to assist you in your work." If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. ”

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile and said, "Well, I'll trouble you in the future." ”

After seeing that the two got to know each other, Gao Hongming on the side continued: "Academician Xu, we came here this time, mainly for three things. ”

"The first is the transformation and reorganization of the Qixia Controlled Nuclear Fusion Project, which will be carried out by Wen Yuanhang in cooperation with you. As for the name of the reorganized research institute and the location of the site, do you have any suggestions from your side? ”

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "If the name is concerned, why don't you just go to the 'Xinghai' Research Institute?" After all, our dream is the sea of stars. ”

Wen Yuanhang smiled, nodded and said, "It's a dream name, but what about the location?" Academician Xu, do you have any suggestions here? ”

Regarding the name Xinghai Research Institute, he and Gao Hongming have no opinion.

Choosing a name is a trivial matter. As long as this one doesn't take a name that is too outrageous to promote, it won't care too much.

What's more, the name of Xinghai Research Institute is indeed very good.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan opened his mouth and asked: "The demonstration reactor will be reorganized into a fusion energy company in the future, and is there any follow-up arrangement for the experimental reactor engineering base?" ”

Gao Hongming: "There is no specific arrangement for the experimental reactor engineering base at present, and it will probably be merged into the fusion energy company in the future." However, there is no problem in splitting it separately, Academician Xu, are you going to put the Xinghai Research Institute in the experimental reactor engineering base? ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "This is the best arrangement." ”

"The experimental reactor engineering base has a complete research institute and numerous research facilities, including a key fusion laboratory."

"Although it does not occupy a large area, there is ample potential for expansion in Qixia Mountain and the surrounding site behind it, which can be replenished at any time. Placing the Xinghai Research Institute here can not only avoid large-scale relocation, but also carry out related research work as quickly as possible. ”

Wen Yuanhang nodded and said, "Yes, I will communicate with the above in the future." At present, there should be no big problem. ”

On the side, Gao Hongming continued: "The second thing is about the construction of the large strong particle collider. ”

"After deliberation from the senior leadership, the relevant projects have been approved to carry out the work. But I have to trouble Academician Xu, you can go to the capital for a meeting to discuss. After all, we need to discuss how much energy we can build, what scale, and what supporting equipment we need to build. ”

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "These are all right, I will make a rough plan document here in the future." ”

Nodding, Gao Hongming continued: "Finally, Academician Xu, you mentioned the development of aerospace technology and the resumption of manned lunar landings, and the above has also approved this matter. ”

"According to the instructions of the high-level side, the development of aerospace technology and the work of manned lunar landing will be merged into the soon-to-be-established Xinghai Research Institute. What do you think about having you as the chief engineering designer? ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "Of course, if you have too many things to solve on your side and have limited energy, there is no problem. ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "This is no problem, the purpose of the establishment of the Xinghai Research Institute is not only to study the second and third generations and small controllable nuclear fusion technology. ”

"In general, the Xinghai Research Institute will be a comprehensive research institution in the future. In addition to continuing in-depth research in the field of controlled nuclear fusion, research work in space technology, materials, information and other aspects is also being planned. ”

"As for time and energy, there is no big problem on my side, whether it is the construction of the particle collider or the leadership of the Xinghai Research Institute, these can be done step by step."

For the above arrangement, he was not surprised, and he did not refuse.

This is necessary both for him and for the top.

Although he is not a professional in the field of aerospace, his research in the fields of mathematical physics, as well as materials science and astronomy, is enough to support him to lead and lead this work.

Gao Hongming nodded and said with a smile: "According to the arrangement of the high-level, then these work and research will be hard to trouble you, Academician Xu." Relevant appointments, project approvals and other documents will be sent over later. ”

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "It's not a trouble or anything, and I have to thank the country for giving me this opportunity." After all, these are my dreams. ”

Gao Hongming smiled and said, "By the way, Academician Xu, there is one more thing I would like to consult your opinion. ”

Xu Chuan: "Please speak." ”

Gao Hongming: "Regarding the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, is there the potential to be placed on the aircraft carrier to provide power for the aircraft carrier?" ”
