"After discussion, we agreed that Richter's research team has merit in the research direction based on the weak interaction between copper and oxygen, so we plan to start here and try to experimentally synthesize the material." Sun Zhenghong, who saw Xu Yun coming over in the laboratory, immediately told about his next research direction and plans.

Xu Yun naturally has no objection to Sun Zhenghong's analysis, but it is too much time to rely on trial and error.

Since he's done most of his progress by overclocking his brain, he's definitely going to have to make up for it as soon as possible.

At the very least, it's more efficient to do so.

For Sun Zhenghong and other project members in front of him, it can be said that they are all carefully selected, so there is no need to take anything into consideration.

In this case, Xu Yun did not sell Guan Zi, and directly told everyone his plans.

"In fact, I have developed several synthesis methods, but whether the material can meet the requirements of superconductivity at room temperature still needs to be experimented."

If we talk about overcoming room temperature superconducting materials, the overall progress of this project is 100%.

Then with the help of brain overclocking, the progress is basically pushed to 70%.

It's even higher.

But it's not easy to get the remaining 30 percent.

With his own strength, Xu Yun determined several synthesis methods through the imitation of the follow-up progress, and through the specific operation experiments of these methods, new material crystals can be obtained.

Although it still needs to be experimented with whether it has room temperature superconductivity, it is much more efficient than Sun Zhenghong's current approach.

And after Sun Zhenghong heard Xu Yun's words, the whole person was very surprised.

Apparently I didn't think of that.

But he soon found his own reason to be relieved.

The next second secretly asked excitedly: "Tell me the truth, have you been studying room temperature superconductivity for a long time?" ”

In his opinion, Xu Yun was able to determine the synthesis method of the material so quickly, it must have taken time to study it before, otherwise it would be impossible for him to be so fast even if he was a genius.

In particular, I thought that this room temperature superconducting material project was proposed by Xu Yun.

It proves his guess even more.

Maybe Xu Yun is already confident about room temperature superconducting materials.

That's why time is openly promised at the press conference.

It's all right.

To be honest, he was really worried before, especially when asked by reporters at the project press conference, promising to overcome room temperature superconductivity within a year.

I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill my promise when the time comes, which will affect Xu Yun.

But now, it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

"I'm not very sure about these methods, and it's a bit too early to rejoice."

Xu Yun didn't say anything to death, but just talked to the other party with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Sun Zhenghong naturally won't be pierced, and he looks tacit.

"It's okay."

"Even if the synthesized material does not have the characteristics of superconductivity at room temperature, it can still give us experience."

"I can't wait to hear that from you."

The other professors who were standing around listened to the conversation between the two of them, and they were very excited even if they didn't speak.

Because according to their original project research plan, even with Richter's paper as a reference, they could not enter the specific synthesis experimental stage of the material in a short time.

It is equivalent to Xu Yun directly saving them a lot of time.

In this way, there is naturally a better chance to successfully conquer superconducting materials at room temperature within one year.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun will definitely not hesitate any longer.

Then he came up with several material synthesis methods that he had completed, and the ideas were very advanced and new.

And when Sun Zhenghong and others saw these materials, they suddenly got a treasure one by one.

didn't care about his image as an academician and professor, and studied it carefully on the spot.

And when I encounter something I don't understand, I will also ask Xu Yun for advice.

They all know Xu Yun's strength and achievements in the materials industry, and if they can get Xu Yun's guidance and teaching, even if they fail to overcome the normal temperature superconducting materials in the end, it is very worthwhile to participate in this project.

In addition to wanting to research superconducting materials at room temperature, Xu Yun also hopes that domestic researchers can go to the next level.

In the future, he will be responsible for the project on his own.

In a sense, it can also be regarded as cultivating scientific research talents for the country.

There are so many advanced technologies in the main way, you must not just expect him to research them, so I am afraid that he will be tired and exhausted.

So we have to have more talent.

Meanwhile.

Several postdoctoral assistants in the project team were also full of question marks when they saw this rare scene.

How can you usually see the other side of so many academicians and professors in school.

However, after understanding the situation, they are more envious.

After all, who doesn't want to be taught by Xu Yun.

It's just that with their current strength level, let alone being taught by Xu Yun, many knowledge points are afraid that they can't understand it.

Precipitation is also required.

"After reading this, I always have a feeling that all the knowledge I have learned for so many years has been in vain, and sometimes it is really not good not to admit defeat!"

I don't know how long it has been, as Sun Zhenghong took the lead in raising his gaze, he did not hide the complex emotions in his eyes, and his sense of superiority accumulated in the material world over the years was gone.

This remark was also recognized by other people around him, and they nodded in agreement after gradually coming back to their senses.

"These methods are so subtle that they can be said to be a step up in the study of copper-weak oxygen interactions."

"I have a hunch that maybe room temperature superconductivity is in these few ways."

"Academician Xu has brought a big surprise to all of us, and I can't wait to try the experiment."

Xu Yun listened to all the words of the few people in front of him, although everyone's performance was expected, but he still maintained his kind and modest personality.

"What the specific situation is, we have to wait for the synthesis of materials after the experiment."

"If you're okay, let's do it."

"No problem." Hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

That's it.

In the following period, Xu Yun and Sun Zhenghong and others conducted research experiments on these synthesis methods.

In order to ensure a smooth and full use of time as much as possible, Xu Yun not only participated in the experiment in person, but also did not forget to answer the questions encountered in the process of material synthesis.

Soon the time is in December.

After more than two months of continuous struggle, everyone successfully synthesized several special material crystals according to the method.

It is worth mentioning that they did not take the approach of stopping to test the properties of each material synthesized, but transferred the testing of the material to another group.

It fully demonstrates what efficiency is.

After all, it takes time to figure out the full range of properties of this material.

It's just a pity that the synthesized materials do not have the characteristics of superconductivity at room temperature.

The Meissner effect cannot be formed.

Therefore, these materials are all new materials with good characteristics, and it is really unpleasant to be able to use them in other fields, and they cannot reach room temperature superconductivity.

So much so that it cast a dark cloud over the head of the research team.

In fact, the several materials they synthesize these days, no matter which one is placed in other new material research projects, it can be said that they are relatively significant scientific research achievements.

It can promote the development of the field of materials.

But they couldn't be happy.

It can only be said that the goal level of this project is too high, so that everyone begins to look down on these small achievements.

However, compared to other people's emotional depression, Xu Yun was very calm about this.

Think of this as a relatively normal result.

After all, if room temperature superconductivity is really so easy to overcome, it will not be called the ultimate problem in the materials world.

It is true that the research on superconducting materials at room temperature with the help of brain overclocking has progressed to 70 percent, but the final 30 percent is even more difficult.

This also proves how ridiculous it is that overseas announcements about conquering room temperature superconducting materials are.

Fortunately, there is still a synthesis method being experimented with, and everyone's last hope is pinned.

Because if the crystals of the material synthesized by this method still cannot form the Meissner effect, then there is a high probability that the current research direction is not good, and the previous efforts need to be reversed.

This is enough to call it a blow to the entire research team.

After all, everyone is full of morale at the moment, so they can get a few material synthesis methods so quickly.

If you are depressed, you don't want to see it.

……

"It's time to heat up, take the crystals out."

Tuesday, December 5, 2028, Laboratory of the School of Materials, Kyungju University.

Xu Yun counted the time and looked at the equipment that was heating the mixture.

A professor next to him, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately stepped forward to stop the equipment and take out the crystals that had been synthesized inside.

As his gaze fell on the crucible, he saw a gray crystal the size of a fingernail coming into view, although it looked inconspicuous, no one present dared to despise it.

As the only crystals obtained by the remaining synthesis method, it can be said that they have inherited everyone's hopes.

If the Meissner effect does occur, it will be a miracle in the world of materials.

Speaking of which, the synthesis method of the crystal in front of you is not complicated.

It is nothing more than putting several powdered materials together and heating them at high temperatures to produce a chemical reaction.

The main ingredient is apatite.

However, the ratio of powders of these materials is particularly important, and it requires constant adjustment to obtain the ideal crystal.

It is also worth mentioning that the reason why the synthetic material is only the size of a fingernail is to save time and avoid wasting resources.

First of all, more of these crystals can certainly be synthesized in the laboratory, but if they are not sure whether the material is useful, if they are synthesized too much for the first time, they will all become waste.

The point is that it will take longer.

Pay for one's whistle.

At the moment, this size is enough for characterization experiments.

"It's finally a success, I hope this little thing can surprise us."

Sun Zhenghong took out the crystals from the crucible with tweezers at this time, probably thinking of the previous experiments, and couldn't help but say with anticipation and emotion.

Then Li Youzhi, who had just walked in from outside, took the crystal and hurriedly reassured:

"There are professors in the Sun Academy of Xu Academy, we will get the detailed data about this crystal as soon as possible."

Regarding the testing of material crystals, Li Youzhi's team has always been in charge, and relatively speaking, he has relatively rich experience, at least there will be no data mistakes.

Therefore, everyone present was very convinced, and when they heard this, they just nodded and waited patiently for the result.

Since being comforted by Xu Yun last time, Li Youzhi also wants to use his own strength to help everyone complete this project as much as possible.

In the process of carrying out their own work, it can be said that they dare not slack off.

After successfully obtaining the freshly synthesized crystals, without any hesitation, they turned around and walked towards the laboratory where their group was located, ready to immediately begin a comprehensive data test of the crystals.

After Li Youzhi's figure disappeared from everyone's field of vision, Sun Zhenghong stopped his eyes on Xu Yun, and after a little hesitation, he finally couldn't help asking:

"Do you think we're going to make it this time?"

As soon as these words came out, several professors, including Wang Sheng, also looked at Xu Yun with anticipation.

It seems that I really want to hear the answer I want from Xu Yun's mouth.

Xu Yun's gaze swept over the faces of several people, although he didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm and confidence, he had to answer truthfully.

"How can it be so easy to overcome superconducting materials at room temperature, otherwise it will not be called the ultimate problem in the materials industry."

Really.

When Sun Zhenghong heard this, his expression couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

They are all old men in the material world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the mainstay.

How can you not know the difficulty of superconductivity at room temperature.

is nothing more than a trace of thought in his heart, thinking that with Xu Yun's participation, it may really be possible to create miracles.

Now that I hear Xu Yun say the same, I will inevitably feel frustrated.

Xu Yun didn't say nonsense, he knew very well what kind of level these synthesis methods he had researched by himself.

It may be used as a new material in various fields, but it is still close to really conquering room temperature superconductivity.

The reason why all of them were tested was to find a material with properties that were closest to superconductivity at room temperature.

Then, on the basis of this material, a scientific simulator is used, and it is believed that the optimization suggestions given will definitely have a superconductivity scheme at room temperature.

At that time, it will not be a problem to solve the problem of room temperature superconductivity.

As for Sun Zhenghong and Wang Sheng, they don't know about scientific simulators, and they are all frustrated in their eyes now.

There is even a faint concern.

Originally, he knew that Xu Yun had already developed several synthesis methods, and he thought that room temperature superconductivity could be completed within the promised time.

Who would have thought that several synthesis methods to obtain crystals, all of which have failed.

If we were to redefine the direction of our research, it would be very difficult to overcome room temperature superconductivity with just 10 months left.

At that time, Xu Yun will also break his promises, causing a decline in influence.

"Could it be that the direction based on the copper-weak oxygen interaction is wrong and we need to re-examine it?"

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Wang Sheng said with some regret that he was obviously not willing to accept the overturning of all previous efforts.

Sun Zhenghong definitely didn't want this kind of thing to happen, but there was no other way to do it in front of him.

"I'm afraid that's probably the case."

Raising his gaze, he glanced at Wang Sheng, sighed and replied.

Listening to all the conversations between the two, Xu Yun also felt the need to intervene a little.

After all, the research on superconducting materials at room temperature has not yet been completed, so it is not okay to be so negative.

After organizing the language a little, he looked at the two of them and said, "I think there is no problem with our research direction at present, maybe there are still problems in the selection of some raw materials." ”

"Even if this time is not successful, I believe that new progress will emerge if the experiment continues."

Sun Zhenghong obviously didn't expect Xu Yun to be so confident, and he was slightly stunned for two seconds before coming back to his senses.

Then he nodded very seriously and said, "I am much more relieved to have you Xu Yuan's words." ”

Since it takes a certain amount of time for the test of the crystal to have a data report, everyone will naturally not wait here, with Xu Yun's words, Sun Zhenghong quickly resurrected and pulled everyone to the discussion room.

Prepare to develop new synthesis methods as soon as possible to maintain the pace of the project at hand.

——

Following.

When everyone arrived at the laboratory, they found that Li Youzhi and several other members of the team were still busy sorting out the crystal data report.

Apparently it was an all-nighter.

Seeing everyone coming, he stood up and picked up a document from his desk.

"Fortunately, I lived up to my mission, and I finally got the data done after working overtime at night." Li Youzhi walked up to Xu Yun and Sun Zhenghong and said with a smile.

Xu Yun knew Li Youzhi's character, although he didn't support this kind of all-night work, he didn't say it to his face.

The main body is the capital of everything, and if you often work all night in order to catch up with the progress of the project, you are afraid that the physical condition will affect the normal progress of the project even more.

After all, even if someone else is temporarily replaced, it will be difficult to be competent for the job in a short period of time.

In the end, Xu Yun glanced at Li Youzhi, and then took the document and lowered his gaze to look at it.

According to the data in the report, the crystal also does not have the Meissner effect.

In other words, it is not a room temperature superconducting material.

Although this situation has been expected for a long time, it is somewhat disappointing to be truly certain.

Of course, Xu Yun didn't forget Sun Zhenghong and Wang Sheng next to him, and immediately took the initiative to hand over the report.

"Let's take a look."

To be honest, Sun Zhenghong couldn't wait for a long time, and after hearing Xu Yun's words, he hurriedly took the report and looked at each data very carefully.

After about a few minutes, he handed the report to Wang Sheng, and the whole person said with emotion:

"Although this crystal does not belong to the category of superconducting materials at room temperature, the performance of the previous crystals is the best from the results of the test resistance."

"Perhaps, as Xu Yuan said, as long as the experiment continues, there will definitely be new progress."

Xu Yun naturally knew what Sun Zhenghong said, and this was the only thing that surprised him.

Since it is determined that the current crystal is closest to room temperature superconductivity, then we can use this as a basis to obtain optimization suggestions using scientific simulators, and as long as there are optimization suggestions for room temperature superconductivity, then it is close to truly conquering room temperature superconducting materials.

After a short time, everyone read the report one after another, and the expressions on their faces were also different.

But Xu Yun was not in the mood to continue talking about it at this time, so he immediately arranged for everyone to briefly arrange the content of today's work, and hurriedly returned to his office to prepare to use scientific simulations.
