Because of what happened during this time, Nibison was really not in the mood to meet this strategic-level authoritative professor, mainly because there was no progress in the research on space-based weapons for so long, and he didn't think that the other party would suddenly find him today.

But when his female secretary's next words came to his ears, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It's like thinking of something.

"Have important good news for me?"

"Is it ......?"

muttered this sentence in his mouth, and the mood of the whole person changed significantly in an instant.

There is a kind of re-elevated fighting spirit.

Hardly without any hesitation, he immediately explained to the female secretary in front of him: "Hurry up and invite Professor Richter to the reception room, and I will go over." As he spoke, he stood up.

Although the female secretary was surprised why her chief's attitude changed so quickly, she didn't think much about it.

Nodding in response, he hurriedly walked outside.

"Yes sir."

Seeing the female secretary leave, Nibison no longer hesitated, and walked towards the reception room without tidying up his clothes.

……

Soon.

Nibison pushed the door and entered the reception room, and an old man with silver hair and glasses suddenly appeared in his field of vision, who was none other than Richter, an authoritative professor in charge of the entire space-based weapons joint research and development project.

Full of anticipation, Nibison was impatient, and walked over and asked directly.

"Professor Richter, I heard that you have good news to tell me, could it be that there is progress in the development of space-based weapons?"

In his opinion, what can make Richter important news can only be the new progress of space-based weapons.

After all, this is the most important thing for their joint R&D team.

At this moment, Rickett's face was full of smiles, and when he saw Nibison coming, he did not hesitate, and immediately told him the important good news in his mouth.

"Chief Nibison, I do have good news for coming this time."

"But it has nothing to do with space-based weapons."

When Nibison heard the first half of the sentence, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, thinking that he could actually turn around this time, after all, if the space-based weapon was successfully developed, he would be able to share some credit as the person in charge.

Not to mention the reward, at least the accident of the lunar lander will not be pursued again.

To be able to continue to be in this position.

This is definitely very crucial good news for him.

Unfortunately, this surprise did not last long, and when the second half of Richt's words reached his ears, his face instantly pulled down again, and a question mark appeared in his mind.

What's the situation?

Nothing to do with space-based weapons?

He really couldn't figure out what else could make Rickett so happy if it weren't for the progress in the research of space-based weapons, and even found him to report and share it with him in the first place.

According to the information he knew, Richter was not involved in other projects after being assigned to be in charge of the research and development of the Heavenly Weapon.

In this case, it stands to reason that apart from the progress of space-based weapons, there should be nothing so happy for him.

But he also knew in his heart that Richter would never deliberately deceive him with this kind of thing.

In other words, the so-called good news this time has nothing to do with the progress of the research and development of space-based weapons.

Thinking about this, his interest disappeared in an instant, and his enthusiastic attitude was much colder than just now.

They even began to regret letting the secretary bring the other party over.

At this time, Rickett was still immersed in his good news, and did not notice Nibison's mood change.

Regardless of whether the other party is still interested in this matter, he will directly tell the details in the next second.

"Here's the thing, during this time, when we were developing a certain material for space-based weapons, we accidentally synthesized a superconducting material, and after preliminary experiments, we suspected that it was possible to achieve room temperature superconductivity based on this special material."

"Superconducting materials?"

"Professor Rickett repeats it!" Nibison, who had already lost interest, instantly raised his voice decibel after hearing these words.

Apparently he was also very surprised.

I never expected that the good news in Richter's mouth would be superconducting materials.

Suddenly made his mood feel like he was on a roller coaster.

Although he is not a researcher, he understands what superconducting materials mean in the scientific community.

In particular, according to Richter, it is possible to achieve room temperature superconductivity for this material.

It is no exaggeration to say that room temperature superconductivity is the ultimate problem in the materials world.

No less than the world's problems in the world of mathematics.

However, room temperature superconductivity has always been considered impossible to develop in the academic community.

Because once this material is available, the biggest impact will be that it can help the rapid development of controlled nuclear fusion devices.

As the ultimate goal of human civilization at this stage, it can be said that whoever can achieve it has the absolute right to speak, and can make human civilization truly enter space.

In this respect alone, the value of room-temperature superconducting materials is no less than that of space-based weapons.

The most important thing is that at present, Xu Yun has developed a complete space-based weapon strike system, and even if they come up with their own celestial weapons, they only have the same level as the other party.

However, due to the development of quantum computing and artificial intelligence, they will still be limited in various aspects.

Room-temperature superconductivity, on the other hand, is completely different.

Although Xu Yun is also well-known in the materials industry, he has not carried out the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature.

Even at present, there is no progress in room temperature superconductivity in the world.

In this case, as long as the authenticity of room temperature superconductivity is proved, then they will have an absolute right to speak in the world, and they can even use it as a bargaining chip to join the development of lunar resources.

As these thoughts quickly crossed his mind, Nibison's breathing became rapid.

It turns out that Richter was right, and he did bring a very important piece of good news.

At this time, Rickett saw Nibison's surprise in his eyes, and did not feel the slightest surprise.

After all, given the importance of superconductivity at room temperature, it would be strange if there was no reaction to hearing this news.

As for Nibison's questioning, Rickett continued: "This material is based on the weak interaction of copper and oxygen, and it can be determined that this material has a semiconductor diamagnetic effect, as for whether it is a real room temperature superconductivity, we should be able to have a more accurate result after we re-test the material." ”

"However, I personally think that the probability of achieving room temperature superconductivity is very high." At the end, Richter deliberately added.

Because the material was synthesized by chance, the resulting quantities were very rare.

As a result, it is not possible to perform resistance tests for the time being, so it is necessary to reverse the complete synthesis reaction formula to reproduce this material.

At that time, a thorough test will be carried out again to determine whether there is a chance to achieve ambient superconductivity.

At the moment, Nibison was like grasping at a life-saving straw, and he didn't hear what Richter was saying at all, but just remembered the last sentence.

The possibility of superconductivity at room temperature is extremely high.

And he has only one thought about this now, and that is to make the news public.

Announce to the world that they have developed a superconducting material at room temperature.

Although the matter is not yet closed, his current situation makes him have to do so.

The lunar lander accident has made it impossible for him to continue in this position, and it is not bad that he has not been held accountable for other responsibilities.

In this situation, if you want to keep your position, you must show enough dazzling results.

Originally, he had planned to accept his fate, but since God asked Richter to bring such good news, then he must make full use of it no matter what, as long as he can keep his position, then things still have room for maneuver, even if it cannot be confirmed in the end that the development of room temperature superconductivity is developed, the situation will not be worse than now.

At this point, he no longer had any hesitation, and hurriedly asked Richter:

"Professor Rickett, is there a paper on the development of this material?"

"At present, the relevant papers have not been completed, and the existing papers can only prove the semiconductor diamagnetic properties of this material, and it is not yet certain that it can achieve superconductivity at room temperature."

"Enough."

Knowing this information, Nibison nodded with satisfaction and said, "I am ready to announce this good news to the outside world immediately. ”

"But we haven't finished the final proof, aren't we ......?"

Rickett was also startled when he heard Nibison's plan, but before he could finish all the words he wanted to dissuade, Nibison's voice came from his ears again.

"Professor Rickett should know where we are today with cutting-edge technology, and there has to be something significant to increase impact, and I'm sure Professor Richter won't disappoint."

After listening to Nibison's words, Rickett also fell silent.

Of course, he understood that this was no longer the case, because the birth of Xu Yun, a human genius scientist, had made rapid progress in the top technology on the other side, and surpassed them in many aspects.

Especially this time, the other side successfully built the first lunar base, but they had a serious space accident.

Not to be alarmist, they have indeed lost their influence in the world.

Although as a researcher, he wanted to wait for the material to be reproduced and released to the public after the paper was finalized, but he finally agreed with Nibison's decision.

"I will reproduce the material as soon as possible and strive to get the final result in the shortest possible time."

He made a categorical assurance to Nibison, and then did not dare to delay any longer, and immediately returned to his laboratory to study and reproduce the materials.

As for Nibison's side, since he has decided to announce the news to the public immediately, he will definitely not hesitate for anything, not to mention that this matter is also related to whether he can continue to serve as the head of the space agency.

Almost as soon as Richter's figure disappeared from view, he couldn't wait to call the secretary in.

Let it do it as soon as possible.

He returned to his office in a happy mood, and all the frustration he had felt had vanished.

……

That's it.

On the same day, a news article about the overcoming of room temperature superconducting materials was quickly reported and disseminated in overseas media websites.

It is also pointed out that this material was developed by a joint research team composed of many top scientific researchers, claiming that the emergence of room temperature superconductivity will completely change the existing life of human civilization.

After the news spread quickly on the Internet, it undoubtedly quickly attracted a lot of attention.

Originally, overseas users have completely lost confidence because of the failure to restart the moon landing program.

thought that Xu Yun and his completed lunar base could lead human civilization to a higher level, but everyone did not expect that suddenly room temperature superconductivity would be overcome.

It's like being shot in the arm in the face of despair, and most of the lost confidence is instantly restored.

In the face of this sudden surprise, everyone's heated discussion on this matter can also be seen everywhere on major website platforms, and the comments in the comments are full of excitement and excitement.

"We have conquered room temperature superconductivity, which is an important material that can change the world."

"God forbid!"

"It's definitely the best news I've ever heard."

"Has it been proven that room temperature superconductivity has been achieved, doesn't it mean that room temperature superconducting materials do not exist at all?"

"This is a joint R&D team composed of many top scientists from around the world, and even if it solves the problem of room temperature superconductivity, it should be normal."

"That's something you can't even do for a genius scientist."

……

If you look closely at these comments, it is not difficult to see that there are also some doubts mixed in.

Doubts about the veracity of this news.

Majority: Ambient superconductivity is a well-known problem in the materials world, and even before that many scientists said that such materials did not exist, and now it is hard to believe that it has been overcome.

The key is that they, as ordinary people, cannot see the real thing, and it is difficult to prove whether this is true or not.

But since most people are immersed in the joy, the so-called skepticism does not cause much trouble.

The shock caused by this news is undoubtedly global, and it didn't take long for the news of the overseas joint R&D team to conquer room temperature superconductivity spread to China and quickly topped the hot search list.

But despite this, most people are skeptical.

After all, there is a history of this situation.

A serious space accident just occurred overseas, and it was not a few days after the two trapped astronauts were picked up, and they turned around and announced that they had successfully conquered the superconducting material at room temperature, which is indeed hard to believe in the authenticity.

When everyone was scrambling to question the knowledge, the two major journals of Science and Nature also publicized the matter.

And a related paper was also published.

With the appearance of this paper, the attitude of netizens began to be a little undecided.

Some people are still skeptical, while others believe that if room temperature superconductivity is realized, it will also be a good thing for mankind.

It's just that no matter which direction it goes, a global debate is certainly inevitable.

However, one thing is certain, if it is Xu Yun who announces the victory over superconducting materials at room temperature, then no one will doubt anything.

——

"I always feel that room temperature superconductivity should not be conquered so quickly, and I am skeptical about it."

"It is indeed too much of a coincidence that such a big space accident has just occurred, and it is announced that it has conquered superconductivity at room temperature."

"I think it's a good thing, at least it's not far off to achieve nuclear fusion with room temperature superconductivity."

"The experimental team that conquered room temperature superconductivity seems to be composed of the top scientists of several forces, and it is not impossible to solve room temperature superconductivity."

"Maybe the more difficult it is, the more accidental it is."

"Science and nature have published papers, so there shouldn't be a fake, right?"

"If it is said that Xu Yuan has conquered room temperature superconductivity, then I still believe that those people overseas should forget it."

……

"It's been a long time since there has been such a big movement in the materials world, and I don't know if this thing is good or bad."

In the School of Materials Engineering of Jingzhou University, Sun Zhenghong, an academician in the office, browsed the reports on the Internet about room temperature superconductivity, and his expression was also very complicated.

At this time, it is unknown what kind of impact superconductivity at room temperature will have on the world pattern.

But he still regrets more about this.

After all, with Xu Yun's talent in the materials industry, if he had devoted himself to the study of superconducting materials, he might have already conquered room temperature superconductivity.

Where will it wait for overseas scientists to conquer it.

However, Xu Yun turned around and invested in a new field, although he has also achieved dazzling results, but it is stagnant in the field of materials.

Of course, now is not the time to think about this, as an academician in the field of materials of the Academy of Sciences, he needs to confirm the superconductivity at room temperature as soon as possible and figure out whether the superconducting materials at room temperature have really been overcome.

The thought stayed here, and he didn't hesitate, and immediately picked up the phone on the desktop and called.

After a while, a professor knocked on the door and walked in, walked straight to the desk, stopped and asked, "Is there something about Sun Yuan looking for me?" ”

"Professor Wang, you should know about the room temperature superconducting materials discussed on the Internet, right?" Sun Zhenghong raised his gaze and looked at the other party when he heard the sound, and did not directly indicate his purpose without the slightest betrayal.

Room-temperature superconductivity is like throwing a nuclear bomb in the materials world, and it is naturally impossible for researchers in the field of materials not to know about it.

What's more, the news has spread all over the world.

Therefore, in the face of Sun Zhenghong's inquiry, Wang Sheng immediately replied: "I have read the paper, but it is not yet possible to determine that it is really room temperature superconductivity." ”

"Whether or not we need to reproduce the experiments ourselves, and whether it is not advisable to completely trust other people's research, I think materials laboratories around the world should take action now." Knowing that Wang Sheng had read the paper on room temperature superconductivity, Sun Zhenghong nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Wang Sheng also understood what Sun Zhenghong meant, and immediately opened his mouth to respond.

"Then I'll arrange the lab and the personnel."

As he spoke, he turned around and left.

It's just that as soon as he took a step, he seemed to think of something, and he turned around again and hesitated a little before saying what he wanted to say.

"That Sun Yuan, Xu Yuan happens to be in Jingzhou City right now, are we inviting each other to participate?"

Wang Sheng naturally knows Xu Yun's strength in the field of materials, and if he can participate in this verification, it will undoubtedly be much smoother, and he also knows that Xu Yun has returned to Jingzhou City from the imperial capital.

But in this regard, Sun Zhenghong shook his head and said: "This time he came back on a special vacation to accompany his family, let's reproduce and verify it ourselves." ”
