Chapter 406: News that made the whole world sensational
As time passed, after successfully reproducing the crystals of the material, the conventional Meissner effect and resistance tests were carried out, and Richter went to the scene on purpose, as if to expose the lie with his own eyes.
"Let's get started."
At this time, Richter glanced at the personnel who had prepared the equipment, and immediately gave the order with a wave of his hand.
The participants came from several different countries and were among the top talents in their respective fields.
However, since the head of the entire research team was Professor Richter, he had to complete the instructions.
When he heard the sound, he no longer hesitated to do anything, and started without saying a word.
First, the reproduced crystal was tested for the Meissner effect.
If, as Richter guessed, the material synthesis method given by Xu Yun's Academy of Sciences and the School of Materials Science of Beijing University is false, then under normal circumstances, the Meissner effect of this crystal is absolutely impossible at room temperature.
Not even cold temperatures are not always possible.
But just as he stared at the crystal with confidence, an incredible scene suddenly reappeared in his field of vision in the next second.
I saw that the silver-gray crystal was actually suspended on the device.
It's like a slap in Richter's face.
Even the other scientific researchers around him were stunned, and they never expected this to be the result.
As members of the multi-party joint research team, they are naturally more convinced of Richter's strength, otherwise how could they be willing to accept the other party's various leaders.
In addition, they are also well aware of the difficulty of superconducting materials at room temperature, so they do not doubt Richter's judgment.
It is believed that it is impossible to overcome superconducting materials at room temperature.
But the silver-gray crystal that hovered above the device right now seemed to taunt each of them.
Everyone looked at each other and finally chose to remain silent.
Didn't show anything.
No one can figure out Richter's mood at the moment, so it's better not to be here.
Rickett's eyes widened as soon as he saw the material levitating.
A lot of question marks suddenly come to mind?
What's the situation?
Isn't this an ordinary material made on the other side?
How can there be a Meissner effect?
Although he was very reluctant to admit that the other side had conquered the room temperature superconducting material, the fact that Tie Linlin was in front of him did not allow him to forcibly debate anything.
It took about three or four seconds to see him come back to his senses.
Then he quickly thought of something, and hurriedly shouted: "Give me a resistance test immediately." ”
Although this crystal has the Meissner effect at room temperature, he never thinks that the superconducting material at room temperature has been overcome.
It is suspected that there may be something strange about the material itself.
As long as the resistance test is carried out again, it is obtained that the material is not zero resistance.
Then we can overturn the previous conclusion and still do not think that this is a superconducting material at room temperature.
The others were shouted at this voice, and they all immediately came back to their senses, not daring to delay anything.
Hurriedly prepared the device for resistance testing.
At this time, Richter also completely lost his previous contempt, and his whole eyes were fixed on the device.
I want to be sure of the results as soon as possible.
In addition, he was faintly apprehensive at the moment.
I'm afraid that things will go in an uncontrollable direction, after all, he has just played a package ticket with Nibison.
If this material really has the properties of superconductivity at room temperature, then it will be a lot of fun.
Especially when the time comes, their false news to the outside world will be completely exposed and become a scandal.
This is also a disgraceful thing for the entire joint research team.
After all, they have been transferred here from various cities to study space-based weapons and avoid dominance on the other side, which is related to the development of the global situation, and it can be said that they shoulder a heavy burden.
As a result, there has been no progress in the research of space-based weapons for such a long time, and as a result, there has been such a negative news that is very hot in the world, even if the research team is disbanded in the future, it will be disgraceful.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine sold in the world, and people have to pay for their own choices.
At this time, Rickett can only wait for the results.
Pray in your heart that this crystal is not zero resistance.
However, the reality is often quite different from the expected, and after the power is turned on, it can be clearly seen on the device that the test result of this crystal is truly zero resistance.
If the test environment is at low temperature, it is fine, because then at most it is a research on a new low-temperature superconducting material.
However, the entire test was carried out at room temperature.
For the researchers conducting the test, although they know that they have to follow Professor Richter's arrangement, as a scientist, when they see the legendary room temperature superconducting material right in front of their eyes, they will inevitably have a particularly complex emotion in their hearts.
Let it involuntarily get excited and proud.
It was also under the influence of this emotion that someone couldn't help but tentatively raise his gaze to look at Richter, and then took the initiative to inform the other party of the result.
"Professor Richter, after testing, the crystals of this material not only achieve the Meissner effect at room temperature, but also have a true zero resistance, which obviously meets the definition of superconducting materials at room temperature."
"It seems that the other side has really conquered the room temperature superconducting material one step ahead of us."
Rickett certainly couldn't calm down, and he didn't know how he was going to deal with such a thing.
"It's absolutely impossible!"
"The other party has only been researching for a few months, how can it be possible to overcome the superconducting material at room temperature?"
"Change the equipment and test again."
In the end, Rickett couldn't convince himself to accept defeat, and even blamed the problem on the device.
I want to change to a new device and test again.
This time, however, it was rejected en masse by others.
"There's no need for that anymore, Professor Richter."
They are well aware that the equipment and models in the laboratory are the most advanced products in the world.
Plus they've just used it, so they can be 100% sure that the device is fine.
Continuing to repeat the experiment is nothing more than a waste of time.
Doesn't change anything at all.
"With the existing test data, it has been proved that the other party has overcome the superconducting material at room temperature, perhaps because the other party is lucky, and happened to discover the synthesis method of this material."
"Fortunately, we can reproduce this material as well."
"I heard that the room temperature superconducting material this time is also from Xu Yun, and this person is indeed qualified to be known as the most talented young scientist in human civilization."
"If I have the opportunity, I really hope to be able to communicate with each other."
Rickett listened to everyone's words, and although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, it was undeniable that they were all true.
However, Rickett is not in the mood to say anything now, and it is imperative to get the news to Nibison as soon as possible.
It's better to take action early.
Because it won't be long before other laboratories announce the reproduction results, the global discussion on room temperature superconducting materials will definitely go to a higher level, and there will be a lot of levels.
The thought stayed in his heart, and he took a deep breath to calm himself and said:
"What should you be busy with, I'll report the results to the top."
And this sentence seems to drain the strength of the body.
When he turned around, he seemed to be a little stiffer.
Just before he could take a step to the office, he was suddenly stopped by the voice of a scientific researcher behind him.
"Wait a minute, Professor Richter, do we still have to do research on superconducting materials at room temperature?"
Rickett stopped and turned to look at the speaker, and found that it was a scientist from Paris, and although he wanted to reprimand the other party for being so blind and not opening a pot, he finally swallowed back the words that were about to come to his mouth.
He just said impatiently, "What do you say? ”
Dropping this short sentence, he went to the office without looking back.
The scientist who asked the question and the others around him looked rather strange.
Of course, the other party can't be blamed.
In order to fulfill the commitment to Nibisen, we will overcome room temperature superconductivity as soon as possible, and by the way, eliminate the negative impact of false news from the outside.
During this time, dozens of top scholars in the entire joint research team were conducting experiments on superconducting materials at room temperature, and even directly stopped the project on space-based weapons.
In this case, without Richter's orders, it is true that work should not be stopped on its own privately.
Asking questions is a normal process.
It's just that at present, the room temperature superconducting material has been conquered by Xu Yun, and the reproduction method of the material has been announced, so naturally there is no need to continue to waste time and resources to continue research.
The next thing that should be focused on is how to maximize the use of this room temperature superconducting material.
Make it play an important role in various fields.
Although Rickett still hasn't explicitly said to stop researching, no one else will be wasting any more time.
After all, none of them are stupid.
If you continue to do it, it will be a waste of life.
——
Rickett was uneasy when he returned to his office, and even he could already imagine Nibison's reaction when he learned the news.
However, the reproduction of materials is not their own business, and I believe it will not be long before it will be announced to the public.
So sooner or later Nibison will know.
Rather than letting the other party learn the news from somewhere else, it would be better for him to report it directly.
Maybe I could get less scolding.
After thinking about this, he didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately dialed Nibison's phone.
Perhaps Nibison was waiting for the result, and almost as soon as the call was connected, he heard Nibison's voice come out of the microphone.
Looks quite anxious.
"How about Professor Rickett, is it true that the material has reproduced and does not have the properties of room temperature superconductivity, right?"
"The material has been successfully reproduced and we have just tested it." Rickett replied with an embarrassed look on the phone.
Nibison asked, "What were the test results?" ”
"After testing, this material can achieve the Meissner effect and zero resistance at room temperature, and it can be determined that it is a superconducting material at room temperature." Rickett said this with a hard head.
When the voice passed through the microphone, there was silence for a few seconds.
Then there was a gust of wind.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me, aren't you saying that the materials being studied on the other side will never be able to experiment with room temperature superconductivity?"
"And what are the test results now?"
"I think I need an explanation, a reasonable explanation."
Listening to all of Nibison's words, Richter suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
But at this time, he was relieved, anyway, he didn't make any mistakes in the research and development of the project, it was just that the progress was not as good as others, even if Nibison wanted to punish him, the most he could do was to abolish the position of the head of the joint research team.
It basically didn't affect him personally.
So immediately after he regained his composure, he continued to explain to Nibison.
"The other party is definitely not just researching room temperature superconducting materials for a few months, it is very likely that this Xu Yun has been researching room temperature superconducting materials for a long time, and only began to set up a project team after making breakthroughs."
"That's why I misjudged their research."
"At present, it is basically confirmed that the other party has indeed conquered the superconducting material at room temperature, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the world's material laboratories will speak out."
"It's going to be a feast for the materials world."
"Don't forget that the other side caused a new upheaval in the materials world after solving the Hodge conjecture and becoming a rising star in the mathematical world."
Probably thinking of not giving Nibison a chance to respond, Rickett hung up the phone after saying this.
Then he threw his phone on the table, walked to the window next to him, and looked aimlessly with a complicated face.
Yes.
He still didn't believe that Xu Yun had conquered room temperature superconducting materials in just a few months.
This is a project that has plagued him to this day.
In his opinion, Xu Yun must have conducted in-depth research on room temperature superconducting materials for a long time.
It was only because of other projects at hand that it was not officially approved.
It is precisely because of this that after leading the construction of the lunar base, the room temperature superconducting material project was established immediately.
The fact that they had conquered superconducting materials at room temperature without real certainty was purely coincidental at this time.
In addition, Xu Yunneng was able to overcome it in just a few months after establishing the room temperature superconducting materials project team, which shows that he has made breakthroughs at the beginning of its establishment.
That's why I chose to cooperate with Jingzhou University, which is close to home.
After all, it doesn't matter who you cooperate with in that case, it will not affect the overcoming of superconducting materials at room temperature.
After careful analysis, it can be completely correct.
Things have developed like this, and it is normal for them to conquer room temperature superconducting materials in advance.
"I really deserve to be the most gifted scientist in the history of mankind, and I don't know how far you can lead human civilization."
"It's really exciting."
A large number of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Richt couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Although he didn't like that he had such a powerful opponent, he had to admire the talent and strength of the other party from the bottom of his heart, at least from the perspective of the entire human civilization, it was a blessing for mankind to have such a scientist.
It is nothing more than who will lead the rise of human civilization in the future.
It's a pity that with his age, I'm afraid he won't see this day coming.
Meanwhile.
Just as Richter was suddenly feeling emotional, Nibison, who was far away in the office of NASA headquarters, was venting his anger alone.
I really didn't expect the development of the situation to change one after another.
Especially when I thought of my previous contempt for Xu Yun's project, I felt that I was simply a clown.
Nowadays, the other party has successfully conquered superconducting materials at room temperature, which has become the most concerned topic in the world.
They have confirmed the act of publishing false news, and even if they pretend to be dead and do not respond, they will not be able to solve it.
It can be said that he can already guess that he will soon be summoned by the general to be reprimanded.
The position under the butt that is not yet firmly seated must be handed over again.
The point is that this time he has no way out.
"Falk Squid!"
"What a bunch of idiots, so many people can't even compare to a young man."
"Why is it so simple for him to have room temperature superconducting materials?"
Rickett was now feeling a little out of control, cursing and sweeping things from the table to the ground.
He couldn't imagine what kind of magic Xu Yun had, obviously so many top scientists couldn't solve the problem, but he could quickly find ideas and solve them.
It's as if the difficulty of the problem will decrease when it reaches the hands of the other party.
Speaking of which, at this time, he should be looking for Oakes, after all, they can be said to have the same experience of this kind of thing.
And Oakes's experience was much earlier.
It's a pity that the so-called wrong step is a wrong step, since he didn't choose to forcibly detain Xu Yun when he attended the International Congress of Mathematicians, then now there is no chance.
After three to five minutes of venting, Rickett gasped and sat back in his chair.
Against the backdrop of scattered items on the ground, the whole person looked a little lonely.
By this time, he was powerless to change anything, and could only watch the arrival of this scientific feast that belonged to the opposite side.
……
That's it.
With the completion of the reproduction of ZK-33 by materials laboratories around the world, official announcements have also been issued to prove it.
"The Norwegian Academy of Sciences proves that room-temperature superconducting materials have been overcome."
"Jinghua Material Laboratory Proves ......"
"Wealthking announced the successful reproduction of ZK-33 superconducting material at room temperature."
……
At the same time, the world's top journals of Science and Nature also released scientific short news on the official for the first time.
It was announced that the room temperature superconducting materials were officially conquered by the Academy of Sciences and the Research Laboratory of the School of Materials Science of Kyonju University, and the development of the field of materials has successfully entered a new field.
In addition, domestic scientific research institutions such as the Institute of Plasma Physics and the Institute of Optoelectronic Technology also sent congratulatory messages.
Celebrate this scientific event together.
For domestic netizens, the kind of pride and pride that comes from the blood in the bones has also reached the extreme, and the major platform websites on the whole network can say that as long as someone talks about it, you can see the remarks about room temperature superconducting materials.
The participation of the whole people has been truly realized.
Originally, although everyone said that they absolutely believed Xu Yun, they were also worried that overseas parties would not be able to eat grapes and say that grapes were sour.
Now that so many of the world's top laboratories have proven it, this concern has completely disappeared.
"It's so exciting, it's been a lot of years since I've seen this kind of national discussion on the Internet."
"It's so rowed!"
"Sure enough, as long as Xu Yuan is out of the horse, there is no problem that cannot be solved."
"The moon base has been realized, and the superconducting materials at room temperature have also been conquered, so is it time to study controlled nuclear fusion?"
"I didn't expect that my generation might be able to witness the smooth realization of controlled nuclear fusion."
"Xu Yuan is still so young, it is definitely possible to witness it, maybe there is a chance to immigrate to Mars."
In addition to imagining the future, netizens certainly did not forget Aittrick and his research team, and asked about their room temperature superconducting materials.
Although there is still no response from Biricht's side, it can be determined that it is false news.
"Anyway, haven't overseas conquered room temperature superconducting materials a long time ago, why is there no movement at all now?"
"Have your materials been reproduced, why are people's ZK-33 so fast?"
"All the materials that can't be reproduced in the laboratory, and the slightest bit of news has not been pretended to be dead until now, obviously this material is not bad at all, in short, everyone who understands it naturally understands."
"I felt unreliable at the beginning, because the Internet was still so hot at that time."
"At least they are right, room temperature superconducting materials have indeed been overcome, but the research team led by Academician Xu has overcome them."
Compared with the active netizens on major platform websites, Xu Yun's classmates such as Li Hui, Yang Jiaming, Qian Yudong, and Zhou Qi, as well as the teachers and friends and family who have taught Xu Yun, naturally feel unprecedented pride and pride at this time.
Even when talking to others, you can pat your chest and say that Academician Xu is my tablemate.
I also taught us academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences back then.
——
While the whole world is cheering for the news that room temperature superconducting materials have been conquered, the laboratory of the School of Materials Science and Technology of Jingzhou University is very calm and peaceful at this moment.
Everyone was still busy with their work, as if they didn't know that they had just solved a problem in the world of materials.
"This time, the School of Materials Science and Technology of Beijing University is very famous, and the heat it brings is really not small."
In the lounge, Sun Zhenghong sat on the sofa, holding a smartphone in his hand and surfing the Internet, as if he couldn't believe what was happening at the moment.
"The world's top scientific research institutions have sent us congratulatory messages, which is difficult to think of without being famous." Wang Sheng, who was next to him, obviously also saw what happened on the Internet, and took over the conversation with a smile.
After it reached Sun Zhenghong's ears, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
Truly.
Jingzhou University has become famous for cultivating Xu Yun, the youngest academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences in history.
But the most influential of them is the Institute of Mathematics.
Their materials academy is still incomparable.
Now, relying on Xu Yun's active cooperation in the research of room temperature superconducting materials, the world knows the strength of the School of Materials Science and Technology of Beijing University, and it will be very smooth for both enrollment and international cooperation projects in the future.
As the dean of the School of Materials, Sun Zhenghong is naturally in a good mood.
At the same time, he also felt witty that he chose to ask Xu Yun for help, otherwise the partner of the Academy of Sciences might be someone else.
Xu Yun didn't go out of his way to look at the situation on the Internet, after all, the room temperature superconducting material was overcome, and he could guess what kind of reaction the outside world would have.
However, the successful overcoming of superconducting materials at room temperature is only the beginning, and a large number of synthesis is required next.
After all, if you want to use room temperature superconducting materials to achieve a new upgrade of technology in related fields, it is definitely not possible to have enough materials, and the plasma physics research institute he will go to next will require a large number of room temperature superconducting materials to build a tokamak superconducting device.
Thinking of this, Xu Yun put down the teacup, raised his eyes and said to Sun Zhenghong: "Your task will not be light next, you need to do a good job in ensuring the supply of ZK-33." ”
If you want to produce this kind of superconducting material at room temperature on a large scale, it is definitely not possible to rely on the laboratory of the School of Materials Science and Technology of Jingzhou University alone.
It needs to be synthesized in the direction of intelligent processes.
Only in this way can the supply of materials be guaranteed.
But it is definitely unrealistic to meet the needs of large-scale production in a short period of time, which requires Sun Zhenghong's help.
Sun Zhenghong was naturally very clear about this, and immediately smiled and assured after hearing this: "Don't worry, I have already ordered to go down and use as many synthetic materials as possible from today." ”
This time, their School of Materials has been stained with such a big light, and they should make more efforts to solve the guarantee work.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I will feel that this honor is well deserved.
Therefore, when Sun Zhenghong announced the news, everyone behaved very positively.
There are no complaints at all.
After all, as a member of the project, the overcoming of room temperature superconducting materials is equivalent to a thick layer of gold plating on their resumes.
It's too late to be grateful.
Who made Xu Yun's talent too perverted, and successfully synthesized a room temperature superconducting material in such a short time, so that everyone didn't have time to exert their strength even if they wanted to.
Xu Yun was naturally relieved about Sun Zhenghong, and nodded in response when he heard this.
With the School of Materials Science and Technology of Kyonju University working hard to synthesize materials, plus the university laboratories that have already said hello, it should be possible to synthesize a sufficient amount of superconducting crystals at room temperature in a short period of time.
In this way, it is enough to study a controlled nuclear fusion device.
When the time comes, when the research on controlled nuclear fusion is successful, the superconducting materials at room temperature should also be mass-produced.
It can be applied to maglev train motors and other fields.
In the next time, Xu Yun thought of something again, and said again: "Next, it is up to you to be responsible, and I should not be in Jingzhou City for a while, if you have any questions, you can contact me online." ”
He has already applied with Hou Shengchang, and after the room temperature superconducting material project is solved, he will be transferred to the Institute of Plasma Physics.
Participate in the Controlled Nuclear Fusion Artificial Sun Project.
Speaking of which, it is completely different from the technologies that are led overseas, such as lithography aircraft carriers, and the artificial sun, as an international project carried out by the cooperation of seven parties, has always been at the leading level in China.
Although the tokamak superconducting device is still far from truly achieving controlled nuclear fusion, it is already capable of exceeding one million amperes of plasma current and running for more than a thousand seconds with long pulses and high parameters.
It is believed that with the overcoming of room temperature superconducting materials this time, this data will definitely have new improvements.
Sun Zhenghong obviously knew a little about Xu Yun's next step, and when he heard that he was going to leave Jingzhou City so soon, he couldn't help but persuade him.
"So fast?"
"I'm sure I don't take this opportunity to take a break for a while, but this time it interrupted your vacation schedule."
Sun Zhenghong knew that when Xu Yun decided to set up the room temperature superconducting materials project, he had not yet finished his vacation, and if it were not for the immature news from overseas that caused the arrangement to be disrupted, I am afraid that he would not have carried out the research of room temperature superconducting materials so soon.
Sun Zhenghong still has some regrets about this, and hopes that Xu Yun can make up for the rest time and go to the Institute of Plasma Physics to participate in the artificial sun project.
He also saw rumors on the Internet that Xu Yun had been studying superconducting materials at room temperature for a long time.
It is because of a relatively important breakthrough that the room temperature superconducting materials project team was temporarily formed.
But he knew it wasn't like that.
It can be determined that Xu Yun has not studied room temperature superconductivity in depth before.
Even the material synthesis method that came up was developed after the establishment of the project team.
As incredible and even frightening as it may be, it is exactly what it is.
It can only be said that Xu Yun's talent in scientific research is beyond the imagination of others.
Xu Yun naturally had his own reasons for choosing to participate in the artificial sun project seamlessly, not to mention that since he had already decided, there would basically be no changes, so in the face of Sun Zhenghong's kindness, he shook his head and responded.
"It didn't take too long to conquer the room temperature superconducting material this time, and there was no place for fatigue, so I won't rest for the time being."
Listening to Xu Yun's words, Sun Zhenghong always felt a faint sadness for some reason.
In the eyes of outsiders, it can be said that it is impossible to achieve, but in Xu Yun's mouth, it has become very insignificant.
The point is that he has not yet found a reason to refute it.
Even Wang Sheng next to him felt that the gap between people was too big.
So I was very self-aware and chose to remain silent.
Sun Zhenghong also understands Xu Yun's personality and knows that it is impossible to change his mind if he says this.
So he stopped trying to persuade anything.
"Okay, you can stay at home and spend time with your children these days."
After caring about this, he immediately took Wang Sheng towards the laboratory.
……
……
It's night.
Xu Yun's family is in a house in Jingzhou.
Even though it was half past seven, the news was still playing on the TV in the living room.
"Today, China has ushered in a major breakthrough in the field of room temperature superconducting materials, and the ZK-33 material developed by Xu Yun, academician of the Academy of Sciences, and Sun Zhenghong, dean of the School of Materials of Jingzhou University, has successfully achieved room temperature superconductivity."
"This material ......"
As a major scientific research achievement in the field of materials in China, it will naturally be added to the news broadcast.
And it takes up to more than ten minutes.
However, Xu Yun didn't know how many times he had been in the news, so he didn't seem to care much.
Instead, he helped clean up the table, and after his mother Wang Chunfang and Chen Shihe had finished cooking, the family ate.
However, the two children, Xu Ningxuan and Xu Ziyan, sat on the sofa and watched with relish.
The younger Xu Ziyan didn't quite understand the content of the news, but Xu Ningxuan, who went to elementary school, was very curious, and immediately got off the sofa and trotted to Xu Yun's leg to ask.
"Dad, what is a room temperature superconducting material?"
Although even at Xu Ningxuan's age, it will be quite difficult to understand the concept of room temperature superconducting materials, but in the face of his daughter's inquiry, Xu Yun did not perfunctory.
Then he crouched down and said very seriously: "This is a very special material, it can make the train run faster, and completely solve our energy use problem." ”
……
"Daddy is amazing." Xu Ningxuan tilted her little head half-understandingly, and thought for a while before saying this.
This also made Xu Yun's face full of old father's smiles, and he directly hugged his daughter.
It just so happened that this scene was seen by Chen Shihe, who turned around, and his expression was replaced by a happy smile in an instant.
