Chapter 404: The Meissner Effect, the Laboratory is Shaked
"I hope I can get what I want, or I'll be busy next." In the office, Xu Yun sat on his chair, whispered this, and then opened the light curtain panel in front of him.
Eyes locking on, can see that there are three remaining uses of the previously obtained scientific simulator.
Although I have already used it, I am still a little nervous.
The main science simulator will give several optimization suggestions that can compensate for the defects of the original item and take its stats to the next level.
But it's not fixed.
In other words, with the use of the scientific simulator this time, the optimization suggestions that may be given are all in other directions.
The direction of superconducting materials at room temperature is not included.
In this way, there is no choice but to rely on your own research.
The process will certainly not be easy.
It is precisely in order to ensure that the optimization of superconducting materials at room temperature can be proposed that he deliberately selects the material that is closest to the data report.
As for the final result, we can only know after trying it.
Xu Yun would definitely not delay what he decided, and soon chose to use this synthetic crystal method as the goal, decisively consuming a scientific imitation opportunity.
The simulation didn't take long, and soon several optimization suggestions appeared on the panel.
"At the end of this simulation, it is recommended that there are three optimization directions."
——
Aerospace materials direction.
Direction of superconducting materials at room temperature.
Direction of high-temperature resistant materials.
Xu Yun immediately checked the information that appeared on the panel, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief after noticing that it included room temperature superconducting materials.
The end result was not bad.
Compared with the five suggestions given by the lunar rover last time, to be honest, he just saw that there were only three this time, and he was still quite worried about this in his heart, for fear that there was no room temperature superconducting material option in it.
Fortunately, his luck was apparently good.
At this time, where can he still endure his temperament, he naturally immediately checks the specific content of the suggestion.
First of all, I clicked on the direction of superconducting materials at room temperature in the middle, and after careful study, it was found that several substances such as sulfur were added to the current synthesis method.
And the operation process is also a little more cumbersome.
However, this change alone can synthesize a superconducting material at room temperature, which can only be said to be a miracle.
Of course, this operation process is limited to ordinary people at most, and it is nothing for professional laboratories.
In addition, if you rely on the team to do research, it can take a lot of time to make a simple change.
It takes a lot of trial and error.
Therefore, Xu Yun does not have any pickiness.
"Fortunately, the synthesis method can be met by the existing laboratories, and it will not be long before the advent of room temperature superconducting materials."
Xu Yun said to himself, already fantasizing about the changes of superconducting materials at room temperature to the world in his mind.
Originally, he was also worried that the synthesis method of superconducting materials at room temperature would be very harsh.
It may not be possible to meet the standards of the existing laboratories alone.
In this case, even if the room temperature superconducting material is overcome, it will not be possible to produce it on a large scale.
If there are limited quantities, it is difficult to make an effect.
After all, whether it is the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion devices, or equipment such as maglev trains, the required superconducting materials at room temperature cannot be met with a little bit.
And now that the method of synthesis of materials is not difficult, these problems do not exist.
It is also worth mentioning that Xu Yun did not immediately turn off the panel in front of him at this time.
Although he couldn't wait to get the synthesis method out and head to the lab, two other optimization directions on the panel also caught his attention.
The optimization direction that can appear at the same time as the room temperature superconducting material will definitely not be bad in terms of material properties.
Maybe it can be used in other fields.
This is also a benefit of scientific simulators, where it is possible to obtain several materials with different properties in a single simulation.
"Hope you surprise me!"
While thinking to himself, Xu Yun decisively opened the aerospace material proposal that ranked first in the next second.
Suddenly, a huge amount of information came into view.
In this regard, Xu Yun is thirsty for knowledge, and the whole person seems to have forgotten the passage of time, completely immersed in this optimization direction suggestion.
Each optimization suggestion given by the scientific simulator contains a very detailed process and knowledge involved.
Able to improve his own strength.
In the face of this rare opportunity, we must take advantage of it.
That's it.
About half an hour passed, and Xu Yun slowly retracted his gaze, his eyes full of excitement.
"The effect of this aerospace material is not a little strong, and it can be used as the main material for spacecraft in the future."
According to the content of the optimization proposal, the materials synthesized according to this method have extremely strong characteristics, and the properties are improved by many times compared to the materials used in existing manned spacecraft.
It is no exaggeration to say that if this material is used in a manned spacecraft or a space station in low earth orbit, it is overkill.
What a waste.
In his opinion, with the overcoming of superconducting materials at room temperature, it is only a matter of time before mankind masters nuclear fusion.
At that time, it will be possible to use nuclear fusion as a power to develop spacecraft to realize the exploitation of lunar resources and the establishment of Martian community cities.
It would definitely be very suitable to use this material to build a spaceship.
It is even possible to send an exploration spacecraft to Proxima Centauri in the future.
In these respects, the significance to human beings is indeed not much worse than that of superconducting materials at room temperature.
Of course, Xu Yun doesn't plan to come up with this kind of material now, after all, nuclear fusion is not a word.
At present, the most important thing is the room temperature superconducting material, and we will talk about this material after the controlled nuclear fusion is successfully conquered.
The proposal for the optimization direction of aerospace materials has given him such a big surprise, and Xu Yun is also looking forward to the last high-temperature resistant material.
If the properties of the material are also very good, then using the scientific simulator will make a lot of money this time.
The thought stayed here, and he acted without hesitation.
But it didn't take long for the panel to close with a little disappointment.
As the name suggests, the material's greatest property is its ability to withstand high temperatures.
The original properties of the material can be maintained at high temperatures.
It can be said that the properties are far ahead of the most heat-resistant metal materials on the planet at present.
Although it is not used in the same place and importance as aerospace materials, it can be used in certain places.
However, it can be used with room temperature superconducting materials.
In any case, it is indeed very cost-effective to spend a scientific simulation opportunity to directly obtain three new material synthesis methods.
What's more, one of them is the most needed room temperature superconductivity at the moment.
With a general grasp of these materials, Xu Yun really couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and even began to sort out the synthesis methods of superconducting materials at room temperature in his mind.
"After the news of the overcoming of room temperature superconducting materials is announced, it should make the outside world more lively, but I don't know what it will be like to be overseas at that time."
Xu Yun thought that the Richter research team had not yet announced the results of their so-called superconducting materials, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but appear with a very meaningful smile, looking forward to the arrival of this day.
Rickett's research team has not released any new information so far, and their room temperature superconductivity has not been reported.
As long as it's not too stupid, everyone can basically guess what's going on.
At the moment, it is nothing more than a dead duck's beak is hard and strong.
Now they can just leave it without any response, but when the Academy of Sciences and Kyungju University announce the results of the project, I'm afraid they won't be able to sit still.
You must know that it has only been less than three months since the Academy of Sciences and the School of Materials Science of Jingzhou University announced the establishment of a project to study room temperature superconductivity, and it was suddenly announced that room temperature superconducting materials have been overcome, which I believe will be very dumbfounded for the outside world.
And this is exactly what Xu Yun wants to see.
As the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in history, money is no different from waste paper to him.
The sole role is to finance the project.
For him, it is more of a spiritual pursuit, hoping to see the entire human civilization because he is constantly changing.
When life comes to an end, what will human civilization look like?
Just thinking about it is exciting.
Since there is not a lot of content in the synthesis method of room temperature superconducting materials, especially related theories, it took Xu Yun a lot of time to sort them all out.
The main specific synthesis experiment is not something he completes alone, how to convince the public without coming up with something real.
What's more, this is also a good opportunity for Sun Zhenghong, Wang Sheng and others to study related theories to improve themselves.
Only when the level of all scientists is raised can human civilization go further in the limited life of the individual.
……
For several days in a row, Xu Yun basically stayed in his office except for eating, drinking, and sleeping.
He also did not participate in the synthesis of materials.
In this regard, Sun Zhenghong and the others all thought that it was because the data of the last material test was not satisfactory, so they went into retreat mode to get back face.
As for others, although they do synthetic experiments every day, it is nothing more than simple trial and error.
The material synthesized can only be described as garbage.
Although this situation is very normal in project development, it is undeniable that it affects everyone's enthusiasm.
Even the atmosphere of frustration is getting stronger.
On this day, when Sun Zhenghong came to the laboratory to prepare for a new experiment, the people next to him noticed that Xu Yun finally came over.
"Sun Yuan, are we still experimenting according to the previous method today?"
"Go ahead."
"Adjust the ratio of raw materials." Sun Zhenghong nodded and replied without hesitation when he heard the inquiry of the person next to him.
He also knew that this kind of experiment was no different from wasting time, but he had to do it for the sake of research.
Besides, they don't have a better idea at the moment.
However, as his words fell, Wang Sheng's loud voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
There was also excitement in the words.
"Xu Yuan."
"It's Xu Yuan who came over."
Sun Zhenghong, who was taken aback, just wanted to speak, but after reacting, he hurriedly turned around and looked back.
And others did the same.
"You're finally willing to come out of the office, and if it continues, I'm thinking about whether or not to enlighten you, and if you fail last time, you failed, so let's continue to study."
Thinking of Xu Yun's state in the past few days, Sun Zhenghong took the initiative to step forward and persuade in the tone of a passer-by.
Xu Yun listened to all Sun Zhenghong's words, and learned that the other party had misunderstood him and gave up on himself because of the failure of the experiment, and he didn't know what to say in his heart.
It is true that he thinks that his age is the youngest among academicians, and there are not many projects that he can experience.
It's also through strong winds and waves.
What kind of scene have I never seen.
How can they give up on themselves because of several successive failures in experiments?
Moreover, in a way, those experiments cannot be regarded as failures at all.
After all, although it does not have room temperature superconductivity, it is also a new type of material with very good properties.
However, Xu Yun did not specifically explain this to everyone, but still according to his own words:
"In the past few days, I have deliberately researched and improved the synthesis method of material crystals, and there may be unexpected surprises, so let's conduct experiments according to this method today."
He did not suggest that this was the synthesis method of superconducting materials at room temperature, but reserved a pleasant surprise.
Sun Zhenghong will definitely not have any objections to this, anyway, what is obtained by other synthesis methods is also a waste product.
At least Xu Yun's improvement may be excellent new materials, and when the time comes, it will be regarded as a contribution to the material industry.
"No problem."
Sun Zhenghong agreed with a smile on his face, and then took the information handed by Xu Yun to check.
Originally, he thought that the content was not much different from the last synthesis method.
At most, it is an adjustment in the ratio.
Mainly, it's only been a few days, and there's only so much we can do.
But as time passed, his expression became more and more solemn.
In the end, he raised his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Are this sure it's just a little improved?" ”
In his opinion, the new method not only adds new raw materials, but also makes the synthesis process more cumbersome, and it does not look like it is only a little improved.
At the same time, he also wondered if Xu Yun had already developed this material synthesis method, but he didn't come up with it last time, otherwise it would have been improved to this extent in just a few days, no wonder he dared to publicly promise at the press conference to conquer superconducting materials at room temperature within a year.
But when I thought about Xu Yun's perverted talent again, I suddenly felt reasonable.
"Let's try it first, I'll guide you this time." Xu Yun replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Thinking that he would need the help of others to operate it himself, it was better to directly command Sun Zhenghong and them to conduct experiments than to be busy at both ends at that time.
At this time, Sun Zhenghong no longer bothered about anything, nodded and took the others to officially start synthesizing.
Although the synthesis process is indeed a bit complicated, after all, with previous experience, there is nothing wrong with the specific operation.
Coupled with Xu Yun as the overall commander next to him, the whole synthesis process went very smoothly.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the crystal material, which used a new synthesis method, was finally released.
Lowering his gaze and looking up, he could see that the crystal material was a silver-gray color, the same size as last time.
"It's finally worked out, and it looks like it's not going to be much worse even if it doesn't have the Meissner effect."
Sun Zhenghong picked up this piece of material at this time and said, with his years of experience, he still has a judgment.
The appearance alone crushes the previously synthesized scraps.
It's just that before testing and experimenting on this material, Sun Zhenghong felt that it was still necessary to give Xu Yun a preventive injection first.
He knew very well that Xu Yun had his pride, and this time he had spent a few days in the office to improve the synthesis method, and if the final material data report was not very satisfactory, it would inevitably become even more frustrating.
"Don't get your hopes up too much, we still have plenty of time for now."
"Yes, Xu Yuan, our progress is already very fast." Wang Sheng, who was next to him, also took over the conversation when he heard this, and interjected.
Xu Yun naturally understood what they meant, and knew that they were caring about him.
But today is destined to be a surprise.
"Don't worry, I know it." Xu Yun nodded and said with a smile to the two.
Immediately afterwards, when they were about to hand over the materials to Li Youzhi and their group to conduct test experiments according to the process, they heard Xu Yun suddenly propose again.
"Let's just go straight to the test experiment, so that the results can come out faster."
After this test, it will be announced that the superconducting material at room temperature has been overcome, and there is no need for Sun Zhenghong to do any experiments.
Naturally, there is no need to transfer it to Li Youzhi's group.
Everyone has never questioned Xu Yun's words, and they haven't thought much about it.
Nodding his head, he began to test the material.
"Professor Wang, let's prepare, let's do the Meissner effect test first."
"Okay, Sunhouse." Wang Sheng responded when he heard this, and prepared the device as quickly as possible.
The Meissner effect is the repulsion of the magnetic field by a superconductor during the phase transition from the general state to the superconducting state, and is an experimental factor in determining whether a material is a superconductor.
Ordinary superconductors often need to be cooled in a cold environment to have the Meissner effect.
Room-temperature superconducting materials, on the other hand, eliminate the low temperature factor.
When the crystal was placed on the device, everyone's expressions did not change.
Obviously, it is not believed that this crystal can achieve superconductivity at room temperature.
But just when Sun Zhenghong was about to cool the crystal, a scene that made everyone's jaws drop suddenly appeared, only to see that the crystal was successfully suspended on the device.
This is exactly what the Meissner effect is all about.
"Look!"
"The Meissner effect, this material realizes the Meissner effect at room temperature!"
As one of them shouted, everyone's eyes were locked on the suspended crystal.
My heart is hot and my lips feel dry.
Because this scene has not been seen in so many previous tests.
Wang Sheng, who was closest to you, first swallowed his saliva, and then turned around with some stiffness.
Raising his gaze, he asked Sun Zhenghong, "Sun Yuan, will we synthesize a room temperature superconducting material like this?" ”
Seeing everyone's performance in his eyes, Xu Yun's face was also full of smiles at the moment.
Then he said relaxedly: "It seems that this time really gave me a good surprise." ”
When this sentence reached Sun Zhenghong's ears, he finally reacted in the next second, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and conduct a resistance test." ”
As proof of the Meissner effect and zero resistance of superconductors, as long as these two tests are passed, it can be basically judged that this is a superconducting material at room temperature.
Therefore, the moment Sun Zhenghong's words fell, everyone present suddenly became a little anxious.
