30 and oil are incompatible
Chen Muwu felt that Renna Yoshio was not so simple, and when he wrote a letter to himself, he couldn't just tell himself kindly why Detedin scolded him.
At the end of this letter, Nishina Yoshio did not see the poor dagger in the way of O. Henry, and he directly asked Chen Muwu where there was oil in the vicinity, as if he was sure that he would definitely tell him.
Come on, you're just a little-known physicist trapped in Europe, not a big oil company like Standard in the United States and Shell in the Netherlands.
What about even the big oil companies? If you don't pay a substantial consulting fee, I, Chen Muwu, will definitely not tell you where the oil is buried.
However, since Ren Kefang asked shamelessly, it was not appropriate for Chen Mujun not to see him and not answer.
So he took the opportunity to write a reply letter to Yoshio Nishina, in which he thanked him for reporting the incident at the first time when the incident occurred.
After writing a lot of polite words, Chen Muwu finally answered the questions raised by Yoshio Nishina at the end of the letter.
He said that according to his own theoretical calculations, both China and Bengolia are oil-poor countries, and they are difficult brothers and sisters in terms of oil reserves.
If you want to find oil resources in the surrounding area, you have to look north.
In addition to Sakhalin, which has already been discovered and exploited for oil resources, he personally speculates that the Kamchatka Peninsula in the Far East and the Alaska region of the United States across the Bering Strait may contain oil, but the specific location needs to be further investigated and explored.
Chen Muwu is an honest and reliable person, and his main focus is not to tell lies.
Both Kamchatka and Alaska do have vast reserves of oil that have yet to be discovered.
But even if Chen Muwu pointed you in the direction, would you dare to send people to other countries, or the United States, the world's top country, to conduct on-the-spot surveys?
Taking a step back, even if oil resources are really explored, do you dare to drill wells yourself?
Although Kamchatka belongs to the ruined Sulian, and the two countries of Ben and Sulian have now cooperated in oil development on Sakhalin Island (called Sakhalin in Su, known as Huatai Island), Chen Muwu still does not believe that he can make a difference in Kamchatka.
The environment in that place was much worse than Sakhalin, and Su Lian did not develop it for decades, and he did not believe that he had the conditions to overcome the difficulties in the 20s.
So the two places he told Nishina Yoshio were basically nonsense, even if this hard-won "set" from Chen Muwu was passed to the top level layer by layer, those red deer didn't have the courage to shout "the rise and fall of the imperial country" to Alaska.
In addition to intimately telling Yoshio Nishina about two areas that may contain a lot of oil resources, he also took the opportunity to persuade a few more words in the tone of a physics senior.
"Mr. Nishina, I think that for a country to develop, it is not only necessary to open up energy sources, but more importantly, to reduce expenditure.
"Even if you can get a lot of energy resources, if you generate a lot of waste elsewhere, it will not be worth the loss.
"What can save a lot of unnecessary losses in energy, especially electric transportation, depends on the development of superconducting technology.
"The national strength of the country is weak, the level of science and technology is insufficient, and it is very difficult for me to achieve results in the experimental physics of superconductivity, which requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and the previous discovery of the superconducting critical temperature of niobium was accidental.
"If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, China and the United States have suffered from the misfortune of Europe and the United States in modern times, and white people must not have deep friendships. I have a plan, I don't know if I can put it into practice: from now on, I will attract the attention of white people in the hope that they will be attracted by the useless quantum mechanics; I would like to ask Mr. Nishina and your compatriots to work the issue of superconductivity, strive to overcome this difficulty at an early date, and work for the benefit of the Chinese and two peoples.
"On the issue of superconductivity, I recently had a new idea that is not very mature. It has been quite difficult to find a higher superconducting critical temperature than niobium among the known elemental elements, especially metal elements, and Mr. Nishina has spent two or three years on thallium without making any progress.
"In this case, is it possible to expand the horizon of finding critical temperatures, and no longer limit them to elemental substances, but to study their various compounds? For example, oxides, nitrides, sulfides and halides, etc., may be able to achieve new harvests. ”
What does it mean to stay true to your original intention?
This is called not forgetting the original intention!
The original intention of Yoshio Nishina to write this letter to Chen Muwu was to use the excuse of ventilating the news to explore his truth and see if Chen Muwu had really made achievements in the field of oil exploration, or wanted to use his fame to cheat some money from the oil tycoons.
If Chen Muwu can really point out a few places around the city that contain oil, then it will be a surprise that this letter can reap.
Chen Muwu knew what kind of answer Nishina wanted, but even so, he was able to forcibly turn the topic to superconductivity.
Fooling people has to start from the beginning, and this time he also put a bloody capital in the letter, and really gave Nishina Yoshio a big gift.
It is much easier to find materials in various compounds with a higher critical temperature of superconductivity than niobium than in Kamchatka and Alaska.
Chen Muwu mentioned niobium and thallium, as well as oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur and halogens.
The range was already so small that he almost slapped the answer directly on Yoshio Nishina's face.
Even if metal ions have different valences and there is more than one type of compound, as long as Nishina has the heart and can understand the meaning of Chen Muwu's words, then it is not difficult for him to find niobium nitride that produces superconducting phase transition at 15 Kelvin, which is the highest superconducting critical temperature discovered in 1941 in the original space-time, and remained so until 1953, until scientists found vanadium trisilicon with a connection temperature of 17.1 Kelvin.
Not to mention the low-temperature physics laboratory at Leiden University, as well as Tokyo Imperial University or Kyoto Imperial University in Japan after returning to Japan, whether they have the ability and conditions to produce these compounds.
Even if Yoshio Nishina suddenly exploded with divine help, not only discovered niobium nitride with a superconducting critical temperature of 15K, vanadium trisilicon with a superconducting temperature of 17.1K, but also further discovered 18.8K niobium trialuminum, 20.3K niobium trigallium, and even the niobium trigermanium film of 23.2K that maintained the highest superconducting critical temperature for thirteen years from 1973 to 1986, it doesn't matter.
The route is wrong, and the higher the temperature, the more useless it is.
The temperature at 23 Kelvin looks very high, but when converted to the Celsius temperature scale, it is still around minus 250 degrees, only two degrees higher than the liquid hydrogen at minus 252 degrees.
The superconductivity of niobium-trigermanium can only exist in a laboratory environment and can never be commercialized on a large scale.
The price of making liquid hydrogen is more than the price of energy losses saved, so what is the significance of this superconducting application in commercial transmission projects?
Unless the big financier behind this project is called Wang Duoyu.
At present, the highest holder of the critical temperature of superconducting materials is still niobium discovered by Chen Muwu in the David-Faraday laboratory.
If Yoshio Nishina really had the heart to read the hints written by Chen Muwu in his letter like Sun Wukong, who studied with Bodhi Ancestor, then he would at least be able to find niobium nitride that surpasses niobium.
The superconducting critical temperature of 15K for niobium nitride is really far ahead of niobium below 10K.
If I surpassed Chen Muwu, who was the world's No. 1, wouldn't I become the world's No. 1?
Perhaps this will give Yoshio Nishina a great deal of self-confidence, allowing him to continue on the path of superconductivity without being disturbed by the outside world, especially the vigorous development of quantum mechanics, as Chen Muwu called "blind eyes".
Shortly after sending the reply to Leiden, the Netherlands, Chen Muwu finally received Pauli's reply from Berlin.
As he thought, Pauli literally laughed at himself for supporting a geological hypothesis that was false at a glance.
It is recorded in "The New Language of the World: Rules" that Wang Yan, a famous scholar of the Jin Dynasty, was afraid of the inside, and his wife was a cousin with Jia Nanfeng, the empress of the foolish emperor Sima Zhen, and did all kinds of misdeeds.
His wife is very afraid of Li Yang, a fellow villager who is called a Kyoto hero, so every time Wang Yan persuades his wife, he will say, "I can't say it, Li Yang can't say it", and his wife will be restrained.
Wang Yan is afraid of his wife, and Pauli is afraid of Chen Muwu - although the latter couple is not husband and wife.
Pauli was also afraid that his ridicule would attract Chen Muwu's disgust and resentment, so he inadvertently cosplayed Wang Yan and found his own Li Yang and Einstein.
Pauli wrote in the letter that not only did he not support the continental drift hypothesis vigorously advocated by Chen Muwu, but he also consulted Professor Einstein, but the other party also did not support continental drift.
He advised Chen Muwu to be cautious, to know what he knows, not to know what he doesn't know, and to rashly comment on aspects that he is not familiar with, it is likely to usher in a backlash, and it will also affect the image of the entire physics community.
Einstein's opposition to continental drift was something Chen Muwu had heard.
Even if later geologists had suggested that the power for the continents to drift was energy released by nuclear reactions in the Earth's interior, which in turn was based on Einstein's mass-energy equation, he himself thought it was ridiculous.
But it was already the fifties, and the old Einstein was becoming increasingly conservative, so it was understandable that he would make such an assessment of a hypothesis that was not yet clear.
Chen Muwu didn't know how Pauli had hired such a rescuer, and he would move out of Einstein, just to find a righteous partner for him to laugh at himself.
It didn't matter, he had expected this outcome before he wrote to Pauli.
It was imperative to contact Wegener as soon as possible to show him his support for the Continental Drift, and to invite him to meet him at Cambridge University if he had time to talk about academic and life matters.
Chen Muwu had a hunch that he might go on a long trip, or even travel around the world.
As long as a large oil company pays him to provide information on the location of oil wells, he will definitely not be able to strategize, and he will have to go to the field to pretend to "investigate" it, and then he will be relieved to get the money.
Taking the opportunity to inspect the oil field, you can also take advantage of the situation to check the division of uranium mines.
If large-scale, high-purity uranium deposits can be discovered in Australia "accidentally", it will give the naval deer a new excuse to go south, in addition to the large oil fields of the Dutch East Indies.
No matter how much he supports continental drift, Chen Muwu can only be regarded as a layman in geology after all, and he always has to bring an experienced old man to do it.
Another meaning of writing to Wegener is that instead of going to the boring and icy Greenland and eventually dying there, it is better to go with Chen Muwu to ride a camel in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula, or to see the beautiful Solo River in the Dutch East Indies.
But the problem came again, Chen Muwu never thought that Detedding, the general manager of Shell, would put an advertisement in the newspaper for himself that he did not need money.
Although Shell thinks that Chen Muwu's statement that he can find oil is unrealistic and whimsical, it does not mean that the other six of the seven oil sisters also think the same!
But why didn't the other six oil companies get in touch with him quickly?
He no longer counted on another large British oil company, Anglo-Persian Oil, because the people behind this company were even more disgusted with himself than Dettding, the general manager of Shell.
Before World War I, before and after Churchill became Lord of the Navy, the Royal Navy had been switching from coal to oil, changing the power source of warships from coal-fired steam boilers to oil-fired steam boilers.
Automobiles have been developing at a rapid pace, and warships are coming to compete with cars for oil, causing the price of almost all petroleum products to rise.
This made Churchill realize that the Royal Navy could not compete with civilian oil and must have its own supply channels, and the world's oil market had already been divided between the American Standard Company and the Dutch Shell Company.
The army categorically cannot do business with these capitals, otherwise it is likely to be stuck in the neck under unexpected circumstances.
For Churchill, he introduced a proposal in the House of Commons that the British government would have to buy more than half of the shares of Anglo-Polish oil companies and turn them into state-owned companies.
Churchill hated Chen no less than De Tedding, and it was unlikely that he would agree to let Anglo-Polish oil and Chen Muwu cooperate in finding oil.
Only the American oil giants remain, but at this point in time, they are also not very interested in looking for oil overseas.
The United States itself is a resource-based country, with considerable oil reserves that are sufficient for domestic self-sufficiency.
In the twenties of the twentieth century, the United States produced an astonishing 70 percent of the world's crude oil every year.
Such a high proportion, coupled with the abundant reserves in China, would make a fool go to a thankless point to look for new oil resources overseas.
Even if others find oil that makes people covet it, it is a big deal to hold high the banner of an open door and let the other party have equal opportunities.
There is no need to work hard yourself, waiting to pick peaches with peace of mind, which is the consistent practice of American oil companies today.
So the situation is embarrassing, and now on Chen Muwu's side, there is no oil company coming to the door at all, as if he and oil are not compatible.
Instead, Cockcroft came to him and said that the experiment of bombarding a lithium target with hydrogen atoms seemed to have been successful.
I'm sorry, I pushed one yesterday, and I want to push another one today.
Today's coffee is not as high as yesterday's, he claims to be the first person in foreign history after Haiyueju, and said that the new book must be a masterpiece of foreign history (although the previous book is worth a thousand pounds, but fortunately, the pit is good).
If you are interested, you can take a look, and if you are not interested, you can scold.
