Chapter 215 Superconducting Maglev Project? Wang Hao: I object, super
The guide is about to usher in great development!
The review meeting is over.
Wang Hao pointed out the research problems of Wang Chenglin's team, and naturally it was impossible to pass the project review.
There were still many people discussing in the conference hall. What they were discussing was not the project review, but the mathematical analysis work done by Wang Chenglin's team.
Those jobs are truly outstanding.
Wang Haodu was very impressed by the analysis work. He walked over and chatted with Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others, and affirmed their work, "In terms of mathematics, you have done an excellent job. You can all say it is 'perfect'."
'."
He said and gave a thumbs up.
Facing the confused looks of several people, Wang Hao explained, "You may not know, but I can think of setting values for subsequent analysis because I am engaged in research in this direction and have achieved certain results."
"Complex molecules in unstable states that do not contain metal elements are more likely to activate the superconducting state, which is also one of the conclusions drawn from our research."
This makes it clear.
Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others suddenly realized that they were only doing the analysis of experimental data and did not understand the research on superconductivity. Naturally, they would not continue to analyze the follow-up. Wang Hao, who had done similar research and comparisons, naturally had more to think about.
Some.
Wang Hao was not trying to comfort a few people, he was telling the truth.
Because we knew from the very beginning that Wang Chenglin’s research skipped the superconducting mechanism and studied the relationship between temperature and materials, and it was impossible to draw accurate conclusions.
With this as the premise, he will think further.
The work of Lu Wantong, Tian Hong and others was recognized by Wang Hao, and their mood became much better.
Just because they were invited to join Wang Chenglin's experiment does not mean that they belong to Wang Chenglin's team. After all, they are mathematics professors and all have research in their own fields.
The reason why I chose to cooperate with Wang Chenglin is because there are more research funds in the superconducting direction, and the experimental mathematical analysis work is very novel.
The more money you have, the more attractive it will be.
Mathematics professors cannot be said to be "poor", but the funds for independent mathematics research projects are indeed less.
When the atmosphere became lively, Wang Hao also asked incidentally, "Although the project failed, are you interested in continuing the research? My team is still continuing this research and there is also a lot of mathematical work."
"Besides, I also have other projects in hand, large-scale mathematics projects..."
Wang Hao began to speak.
He said that his project was short of people and he hoped to invite a few people to join him.
In fact, the most important thing to pay attention to is Tian Hong.
Tian Hong is the youngest among them, a female professor in her mid-thirties.
At this age, he can serve as a professor at Capital University and was invited by Wang Chenglin to join the project. He is obviously extremely outstanding. The other three people are all over fifty and must have families and businesses in the capital. They would not be invited here at all.
possible.
Lu Wantong, You Yuguang and others all shook their heads together, found an excuse and turned it down.
If Wang Hao was working at a university in the capital, they would definitely consider it. Participating in high-funded key projects would be a great attraction for them.
Xihai University is really too far away, and it is impossible for them to suddenly go to work in such a far place.
Tian Hong hesitated for a moment and shook his head along with it, without explaining anything in particular.
behind.
Wang Chenglin had a dark face. It was just that he failed to apply for the project. Wang Hao's analysis made people speechless. Meaningless research is indeed a waste of time.
But what is Wang Hao doing?
Poaching!
Lu Wantong, You Yuguang and others do not belong to the Basic Science Center, but they are all professors at Capital University, especially Tian Hong, who is more valued and can be included in the ranks of the "future of universities".
Result, poaching?
Wang Chenglin was a little worried for a while. If it were someone else poaching, he would not be worried at all. In the field of domestic mathematics, Capital University is one of the top universities. It is really difficult to poach Capital University.
Wang Hao is different.
He is the first domestic Fields winner and is recognized as a cutting-edge figure in the field of mathematics. The key is that he does have a big project in hand.
Fortunately, everyone refused.
Wang Chenglin breathed a sigh of relief, unable to say anything more. He mustered up the courage to come over and still wanted to ask what the specific problem was.
He invested a lot of energy in this research, but he was still unwilling to do so when it turned out to be meaningless.
Wang Chenglin came over and asked directly, "Professor Wang, can you tell me why we failed? This is your direction. I think there is nothing wrong with our research method."
Wang Hao said bluntly, "Because you skipped the mechanism."
He explained, "No research can skip the mechanism. The direction I am talking about is indeed experimental analysis, but the purpose is still to study the mechanism, rather than directly analyzing what kind of materials are more likely to be superconducting materials.
"
"That's just luck. Even if you barely come across it, you'll only find one or two materials alone, which doesn't mean much."
Wang Chenglin nodded in understanding.
Wang Hao continued, "I think your own research in the field of condensed matter physics is very good. You don't need to be multi-faceted and get involved in different fields." He shook his head as he said, "In doing research, it is not good to rush for quick success.
No theoretical research is easy. Many studies require years, more than ten years, and decades of precipitation..."
Wang Chenglin naturally understood this truth, but when it was said from Wang Hao's mouth, it gave him a strange feeling.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, but couldn't help but ask doubtfully, "Professor Wang, has your research gone through many years of development?"
"Our research has just begun."
Wang Hao's face was calm, "The road must be walked step by step, and we are moving forward slowly."
…
After the project review work of the Basic Science Center was completed, Wang Hao directly discussed the follow-up funding issues with the Superconducting Office.
In a few months, they spent more than 60 million yuan, but the results were also very outstanding.
The two achievements related to the exchange of gravity fields have left people speechless. They have also been affirmed by Factory 244, who is planning to merge the project with the physics laboratory.
The Science Foundation will definitely provide funding.
This review meeting is also equivalent to squeezing out the "funding" competitors. In terms of research on superconducting mechanisms, the Science Foundation should continue to provide follow-up funding, so the two parties are still talking about the amount of funding.
The final funding was determined at 55 million, which can be said to be the limit of what the Superconducting Office can afford.
After the funding issue was discussed, Wu Hui began to complain to Wang Hao, "Professor Wang, after giving you this funding, we will have a hard life in the future."
The superconducting office has only 100 million available funds on its books, and more than 50 million has been directly crossed out to the physics laboratory. The follow-up can only wait for the foundation's allocation of funds next year.
They are responsible for many projects, not just physics laboratories and basic science centers.
The Superconductivity Laboratory of the Academy of Sciences alone has several large projects, as well as other large, medium and small laboratories. Fifty million sounds like a lot, but for the Superconductivity Office, it can only maintain subsequent operations. And there are
The approval of other applications can only be postponed until next year.
Domestic scientific research funding is like this, because funds are allocated in a coordinated manner. If a certain project gets more, other projects will get less.
Of course, that is the matter of the Superconducting Office.
Wang Hao doesn't think about it so much. He is just responsible for his own project, so he naturally has to fight for more funds for the project.
During the trip to the capital, we received more than 100 million in funding. After we returned, we merged the project with Factory 244, which meant that while expanding the funding, we also expanded the scale of research.
He was still in a good mood and looked forward to the follow-up of the experiment.
Wang Hao did not leave directly, but stayed in the capital for two more days and asked He Yi to buy a ticket and go back first.
Two days later, he went to attend the high-temperature superconducting maglev train project demonstration meeting.
This is the last destination.
Wang Hao was temporarily invited to join the new demonstration meeting.
Related projects have been discussed for more than three years, and six large-scale demonstration meetings were held during the process. Each time they attracted scholars from various fields to join, but there has been no result until now.
Wang Hao participated out of curiosity. He entered the venue and exchanged greetings with the people he met, then found a seat to sit down and listen.
This kind of demonstration meeting means that the project leader makes an introduction to the project, then other relevant personnel make separate reports, and finally discuss and analyze together.
Even at the stage of discussion and analysis, it is difficult to draw any results.
They need to demonstrate a feasible solution, considering aspects including technology, design, construction costs, companies involved in construction, duration, subsequent maintenance costs, etc.
Many aspects need to be demonstrated.
Only when a complete feasibility plan can be produced will superiors consider funding the project.
This is mainly because the project requires a huge amount of funds. The cost of maglev trains is already very high, and high-temperature superconducting maglevs have been upgraded to a higher level.
Even if only ten kilometers of track are built, the project cost may reach tens of billions.
This project was led by Liao Guangyuan and Du Wei, academicians of the Academy of Sciences. They gave a brief introduction to the project, and then talked about the significance of building high-temperature superconducting maglev trains, including the upgrade of maglev trains and the application of high-temperature superconducting technology.
It can also drive research and development in related fields, and also said some official words such as 'let the world see the domestic technical strength'.
Afterwards, several scholars came on stage to give speeches in their respective fields.
Wang Hao kept listening, but later found that the demonstration meeting was not interesting. It was just a lot of scholars discussing how to implement the project. However, in fact, because the technology was not yet mature and the amount of money consumed was too large, it was unlikely to be passed in a short time.
When the morning report was over, he was ready to leave.
Liao Guangyuan noticed Wang Hao, walked over to talk to him, and asked, "Professor Wang, what do you think of this project?" He hoped to gain Wang Hao's support.
Wang Hao is the top mathematics expert and is very influential in the eyes of senior management. If the project can get Wang Hao's support, the possibility of approval will be greatly increased.
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Academician Liao, I think there is no point in constructing a high-temperature superconducting maglev train in a short period of time."
"Why?" Liao Guangyuan frowned.
Others nearby also looked over.
Wang Haodao said, “The scale of investment is too large, operating expenses are very high, and losses will definitely continue, etc.”
He finished speaking in one breath, and then said, "I believe that other people must have mentioned the cost, maintenance, etc., so I will give another reason."
"Technology!" Wang Hao said with certainty.
Liao Guangyuan immediately said, "We have created a high-temperature superconducting maglev train."
Wang Hao shook his head. He took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket and showed it to others, "Everyone knows about mobile phones. Ten or twenty years ago, we couldn't even imagine today's mobile phones. Big screens, finger operations, all kinds of
Needless to say about the function.”
The others nodded as they listened.
Wang Hao continued, "It's the same now. We can't imagine what superconducting technology and magnetic levitation technology will look like ten years from now."
"The investment for such a project is tens of billions, and the construction time span will be at least five years. What if the technology has developed greatly by then?"
“My previous investment will be in vain!”
Liao Guangyuan smiled and shook his head, "Professor Wang, I know you are also engaged in research on superconductivity, but you may not know much about it. Compared with thirty years ago, the technology in the field of superconductivity has hardly changed now."
"The theory is still the same theory, the material changes are also very small, and a temperature below 100K is still required."
"Similarly, the magnetic levitation technology is still the same one we bought from Germany. Even other countries have no breakthrough research..."
The others nodded as they listened.
Wang Hao smiled and said, "The past does not represent the future. Maybe superconducting technology will soon usher in rapid development?"
After he finished speaking, he did not continue the conversation, but turned and left the venue.
…
Wang Hao can be considered a newcomer in the field of superconducting research. He applied for a large-scale project by replicating foreign experiments.
That's all.
So his words won't have much impact.
The glorious period of breakthroughs in superconducting technology was in the 1980s, when American scientists Bernoz and Muller discovered that a barium lanthanum copper oxide began to superconduct at 35K.
This was a historic breakthrough, for which Bernozzi and Muller won the Nobel Prize in Physics, and which set off a new upsurge in superconducting research.
At that time, more than two hundred experimental groups around the world participated in the superconducting research competition, and the news media reported overwhelmingly on the progress of superconducting.
After a long period of research, it was found that there was no qualitative breakthrough, and the enthusiasm for superconducting research and development passed away.
Many of the top superconducting experts in China today came from that era. They may have been unknowns at the time, but later they participated in some research and discovered some new superconducting materials, and gradually became famous.
Wang Hao is still a newcomer in the field of superconductivity, but he doesn't care what others think, because his research direction is different from the conventional field.
He just said what he thought.
After returning to Xihai University, Wang Hao went to the physics laboratory and gathered core staff to talk about funding and follow-up research issues.
Everyone else also cheered up.
Now that the new equipment is being debugged, we only need to wait for funds to be allocated before we can continue with subsequent experiments.
Wang Hao's arrangement for the experiment is to use at least three kinds of elemental metals as materials to conduct superconducting alternating current gravity experiments, and to examine the parameters in the experiments in detail.
This kind of research is easy to say, but very complicated to do.
The superconducting critical temperature of elemental metals is very low. The superconducting critical temperature of relatively high lead and technetium is only 7K or 8K.
Most of the critical temperatures of some other superconducting metals are less than 1K.
To create such a low temperature requires experimental coordination, which is very difficult. It requires the use of a large amount of high-pressure liquid helium, and the experimental design requirements are also higher.
At the same time, more funding will be invested.
He Yi made a simple calculation and curled his lips when he looked at the numbers, "Even with new equipment, an experiment will cost at least three million."
Wang Hao didn't care, and did some calculations, "Three million at a time, we have 150 million in funds, and can do fifty experiments."
He Yi was stunned when he heard this. He gave a thumbs up for a long time, "...hao!"
Wang Hao couldn't wait any longer.
Previous research has established a geometric framework for microscopic morphology, and the follow-up step is to conduct experiments and record data. As long as there is sufficient data support, the framework can be improved.
After that, the relationship between microscopic morphological stability and excited superconducting temperature can be found.
This correspondence coefficient is very critical!
Very important!
Just like the coefficients of many physical laws, such as the universal gravitational constant, the gravitational force between two planets can be calculated through the universal gravitational constant and formula.
The current coefficient is used to calculate the superconducting critical temperature of elemental metals, or 'element elements'.
As long as it can be researched, it will definitely be a major progress in the field of superconductivity and trigger a new round of superconductivity boom in the near future.
Wang Hao couldn't help but think of his conversation with Liao Guangyuan.
future?
At least in the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity, there will be a huge breakthrough soon!
