Chapter 161 The aircraft chief designer comes to visit, Wang Hao: It’s just a simple matter(1/3)
Academy of Sciences.
Superconducting Physics Laboratory, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Research Office.
Several academicians and researchers are sitting in the office talking about the latest experiments. They are doing a theoretical research project on superconductivity, which uses nuclear magnetic resonance to study the principles and mechanisms of superconductivity.
This research is a basic theoretical study of superconductivity.
Because the latest experiment failed to meet expectations, several people were not in a good mood when talking about it, but in fact, it was expected that there were no expectations.
Research on theoretical mechanisms is inherently difficult. The project has lasted for ten years and there has been no progress for a long time.
Fortunately, the country attaches great importance to cutting-edge superconducting research, and project funds are continuously supplied.
Academician Zhang Zhongxian is 60 years old. He is the main leader of the project and a well-known superconducting expert in China. He encouraged, "This experiment did not meet expectations, but it can be regarded as laying the foundation for the next experiment.
Don’t take it too seriously.”
Zhou Pengcheng, the researcher next to him, shook his head and sighed, "We have had no results for a long time. I feel that the theoretical research on superconductivity has reached a bottleneck."
The others were silent after hearing this.
This is the truth.
Superconductivity refers to the state in which the resistance of a conductor is zero at a certain temperature.
The phenomenon of superconductivity has been discovered for hundreds of years, and superconducting technology has been around for decades. It has always been considered a cutting-edge technology, but due to limitations in usage conditions, it has not yet been able to be applied on a large scale.
Now the superconducting industry is studying how to break through technical bottlenecks, and theoretical support is very important.
Many people in the industry believe that without a higher-level breakthrough in theory, it will be very difficult to apply technology on a large scale.
Theoretical research limits the development of technology.
Because of this, various countries are constantly investing in research on the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity.
Another researcher, Xiang Qiansheng from the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences, said, "Because of this, we support research in various directions related to superconductivity. Last year, even the small laboratory of Xihai University applied for theoretical research
Project, what does it say about studying superconducting antigravity phenomena?”
He shook his head as he spoke, obviously not optimistic about it.
The theory of 'communicating gravity' appeared thirty years ago, and the actual experimental discovery was reported twenty years ago.
As the most powerful superconducting laboratory of the Academy of Sciences in China, they have naturally done relevant research, but later found that they could not replicate the experiment.
They spent 20 million on this project, but found nothing.
Later, I had no choice but to give up.
They are a national key laboratory affiliated to the Academy of Sciences. They have academicians and researchers from the Academy of Sciences. Each one of them can be said to be an expert in superconductivity. They spent 20 million yuan and found nothing.
The Physics Laboratory of Xihai University is applying for a grant of two to three million yuan. What results do you expect?
How can it be!
Zhou Pengcheng also followed, "This kind of project is obviously just a gimmick to apply for some funds. Everyone knows that there is no possibility of discovery."
Zhang Zhongxian said, "This also shows that the country attaches great importance to this aspect. Superconducting research is so critical. This may become a key technology for future competition, and theoretical research is even more top priority."
Several people started shaking their heads and sighing again.
No matter what other small laboratories are like, their research has indeed reached a bottleneck, and it is very difficult to think of a breakthrough in a certain direction.
This bottleneck even makes them don't know how to design experiments and continue research.
Of course, it is normal for the research on the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity to fall into a bottleneck and achieve no results. It requires continuous summary and research to find the right direction.
…
Sokai University, Physics Laboratory.
Wang Hao said he wanted to participate in the experiment, so naturally he actually participated.
He arrived at the physics laboratory the next day, prepared new experiments with others, and gained a detailed understanding of all aspects of the experiment.
Then he found that the experimental design was very crude.
This is mainly because there is very little known data content, and they can only try to replicate the experiment based on the data content.
It is difficult to say whether the information is true or false.
Wang Hao knew even less about the experiment. He only watched to understand some of the contents and did not participate in the preparation of the experiment.
In addition, experimental preparations cannot be completed at once, because some materials require special approval, and some require a certain amount of time to purchase.
"It will take at least a week." He Yi estimated the time, "The last experiment consumed too much material, and we need to purchase new materials."
Wang Hao asked, "Is there any difference between this experiment and the last one?"
"this……"
He Yi hesitated and thought for a moment, "I discussed it with Professor Xiao and felt that a new conductor layout method should be adopted."
"Is it just the conductor layout..." Wang Hao sounded a little unreliable.
He Yi also knew that it was somewhat unreliable, but he had no other way because there was too little relevant information, so he could only try to design it again and again.
Wang Hao thought about it and said, "In this case, don't rush to prepare materials first. Funds are limited. Let's study it as a whole first and think about the specific experiments before making preparations."
"That's fine." He Yi nodded.
This experiment already has experience from the last one, so it doesn’t take that long to prepare. But because the last time failed, it’s hard to say whether the experience will be useful.
He Yi, Xiao Xinyu and Wang Hao discussed it and decided to summarize the last experiment again.
Just prepare the new experiment slowly. With the summary of the last experiment, you can study the method of the new experiment and prepare for the experiment after everything is thought out.
The physics laboratory held an internal summary meeting.
The meeting is mainly to summarize the last experiment, that is, to analyze why the experiment failed.
Of course, there are many possible reasons.
Wang Hao also participated in the meeting. He thought he would just listen in, but he soon found that the meeting was very awkward. There were almost no other people talking, only He Yi and Xiao Xinyu were talking.
Communication gravity is a phenomenon that may or may not exist. There are only a few reports in the world, and very little information can be found.
Although they have conducted relevant research, the progress of the research has been very little. At most, they can support the writing of a few papers, but they are only experimental papers. Because they have not been able to successfully reproduce the experiment, there is even less content that can be summarized.
Yan Jing was trusted by He Yi, but she only talked about some experimental data and was unable to enter the theoretical content from the experimental data.
He Yi finally asked Wang Hao, "Professor Wang, can you say a few words?"
Everyone looked at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao thought for a while and said, "I am an amateur in physics research, and I am even more of an outsider in superconductivity research."
He continued, "However, I have read a lot of relevant information recently, and I have a little personal understanding of this research."
"I think this kind of research, if you don't have a good idea, just analyze it from the theoretical mechanism?" His tone was a little uncertain, and he looked at He Yi with doubts.
He Yi didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. Judging from this sentence, Wang Hao was indeed an outsider.
Physics research first discovers phenomena and then analyzes the principles.
Because of this, they are obsessed with replicating the experiment. Only by replicating the experiment can they analyze the data and find out the underlying mechanism.
Now Wang Hao said to analyze the principle first, how can it be possible to analyze it?
He Yi just looked at Wang Hao without showing his attitude.
Wang Hao continued, "In terms of theoretical mechanism, we must first study the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity."
"There was a theory called degenerate phase superconductivity more than ten years ago. You should all know this."
"According to this theory, the microphysical mechanism of superconductivity has been discovered, which is the relative separation of the 'superconducting free electron gas' and the 'degenerate positive ion lattice' in the superconducting state, without any collision between the two.
."
"Based on this principle to relate the possibility of antigravity, I think it is related to the ion lattice formed in the superconducting state?"
This is based on a personal judgment about research, but the system directly feeds back the results.
Because of this, Wang Hao will discuss it from a theoretical perspective.
"We assume it is directly related to the ion lattice." After receiving feedback from the system, Wang Hao suddenly became confident, "So how can we produce the 'exchange gravity' phenomenon?"
"Is there a possibility that it is due to the spin of the ion lattice in a certain arrangement?"
"If we follow this principle, how can the ion lattice be arranged to produce a special field force?"
"Maybe it's not a field force, but a barrier to gravity, or a special case of mixing magnetic and electric fields? These are all possible."
"We analyze it in turn to get a certain hypothesis to verify. This is the method of microphysical research."
The last sentence made everyone nod.
In the study of the mechanism of superconductivity, new physical phenomena are almost always discovered, and then the mechanism is deduced based on the phenomena.
However, the study of microphysics starts from theory, because there are many microphysical phenomena that cannot be directly explained, so theoretical physics is needed to provide support, and after theoretical physics is framed, other problems can be deduced.
Things like the Higgs particle and neutrinos were discovered in experiments only after existing theories.
Wang Hao initially said that he should study the theoretical mechanism first, which everyone present must have disagreed with. However, if you just assume a theory and then design experiments based on theoretical derivation, it makes sense to a certain extent.
To be continued...
