Chapter 218 International excitement, the possibility of application, Amary
"Superconducting research ushered in a breakthrough: superconducting laws and critical constants!"
"The youngest Fields winner releases world-shaking results in condensed matter physics!"
"Nature magazine publishes the latest research: Calculating the critical temperature of superconducting!"
"In the 21st century, the most important achievement of superconductivity will soon lead to madness in the scientific world!"
"Look forward to technology taking off from today!"
"Wang Hao's new achievement: The Nobel Prize winner in physics has been booked!"
…
…
Wang Hao's paper published in Nature magazine aroused widespread concern in the scientific community. After being recognized by a large number of institutions and scientists, many scientific and technological media reported on it.
Other media outlets also followed suit.
The number of reports grew exponentially, occupying a large amount of news pages in less than a day, triggering comments from all over the world.
Many people saw the news and didn't understand what was going on for a while. After a closer look, they realized that there was progress in the research of superconductivity.
They thought it was nothing at first, because every once in a while, a technological breakthrough would be reported, and most of the content was incomprehensible.
The same is true for research on superconductivity. Related progress has long been beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
For example, topological superconducting materials.
Topological superconducting materials have been the focus of the field of condensed matter physics in the past decade.
This material is considered to be widely used in quantum computers, but neither topological superconducting materials nor quantum computers seem to have anything to do with ordinary people's lives.
When the news really became popular, many media began to popularize science.
A simple summary of the popular science content is, "This latest achievement in superconductivity can greatly enhance human understanding of superconductivity theory and will lead to technological breakthroughs in the field of superconductivity."
To continue to summarize, "Superconducting technology is taking off, and human science and technology is about to usher in the fourth revolution!"
There are many popular science reports in the media, including what kind of changes have occurred in human science and technology after the take-off of superconducting technology.
For example, electricity-related technologies will undergo great improvements.
For example, magnetic levitation will become the preferred means of transportation in the future.
For example, energy supply is no longer an issue.
etc.
A sentence in the "Xinhua Youth Daily" report illustrates the changes that the development of superconducting technology will bring, "The take-off of superconducting technology will change the existing scientific and technological landscape!"
Superconducting technology is really important.
In terms of energy supply, most electricity is still used nearby, because electricity transportation causes very large energy losses, and the farther the distance, the greater the losses.
If normal-temperature superconducting materials can be developed, there will be no problem in transporting domestically produced electricity directly to continent O.
This directly changes the energy logic.
In addition, many technologies related to electricity will advance rapidly.
For example, the most common electronic products.
Many technologies in electronic products do not need to be used, only product performance is enough, because the superconducting state does not consume energy, and will not bring about a series of effects such as heat generation and low efficiency.
When the conductor is in a superconducting state, even magnetic force cannot penetrate it, which means that some technologies will no longer have advantages, while other technologies that seem to have no "practical value" may suddenly emerge.
…
This is a cross-level technology that brings about changes in technological logic.
Amid constant reports in the media, there has been a lot of discussion in public opinion, "This latest research is simply a bug. It uses a formula to calculate the critical temperature of superconducting materials, and there is no need to do experiments at all."
"This is still research done by the great master Wang Hao. The great master is indeed a great master. If he switches to the field of physics, he can also achieve Nobel-level results."
"No, beyond Nobel level!"
"In the past few decades, many physicists have won Nobel Prizes based on research on the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity, but their research will definitely not be able to keep up with this one!"
"This research cannot be overemphasized. It is directly equivalent to creating a new research field!"
"What you said is so professional. I have read a lot of popular science reports. What I am looking forward to most now is to drive a maglev car..."
"Upstairs, don't look forward to it. When it comes out, you won't be able to afford it!"
…
While a large number of media are reporting on it, many professional institutions around the world are also conducting research on Wang Hao's latest achievements.
Every institution is very interested.
Just like the discussion in public opinion, Wang Hao's research has created a new direction in the research of superconducting mechanisms, and it can even be said that it will become the main direction.
His research directly links theory and application.
Previous research on the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity does not seem to have anything to do with applications, and seems to be the content of two fields.
His results were disruptive.
Many institutions also hope to find new directions from Wang Hao's research, and what they have to do is to understand the core of Wang Hao's research.
In Wang Hao's published results paper, he explained that his research is centered on microscopic morphology, which can be understood mathematically as "new geometry".
In reports from some technology media, the new geometry has been named ‘Wang’s geometry’.
Therefore, it can be easily concluded that the shaping of Wang's geometry is the core of research, and Wang Hao's work report at the Mathematicians Conference also supports this.
But what is the shaping process?
Some people believe that Wang Hao used the study of electromagnetic field forces as a breakthrough. The evidence is that at a conference of mathematicians, Wang Hao directly talked about using Wang's geometry to explain electromagnetic forces.
So how does Wang's geometry explain electromagnetic force?
Some media reporters interviewed professional physicists, but they were unable to give a definite answer.
Charles Kane of the University of Pennsylvania has become the focus, firstly because he is a reviewer of the paper, and most importantly, his research results on "special morphology of particles" are almost consistent with the microscopic morphology mentioned in Wang Hao's research.
of.
Charles Kane has received a lot of attention, and he has also been openly interviewed by the media.
“In Wang Hao’s research, microscopic morphology refers to the special shape of particles.”
"However, his research went much deeper. He created new geometries, explained the special shapes of particles, and achieved practical results."
In fact, Charles Kane hoped to emphasize his results, but in the end his research only said that there may be a special form of particles, without giving a more detailed explanation for it, and even the expression was somewhat uncertain.
…
In any case, his research results are closest to Wang Hao's research.
Charles Kane continued to explain his opinion, "I think he has completed a brand new theory, or a theory in a new direction as a premise."
"For example, I know his annihilation theory."
"In terms of research on this theory, he only disclosed some ideas, but I think they are related."
"Perhaps he will continue to conduct in-depth research? In short, there will definitely be a new theory, and only if the theory is the premise is there a direction."
"The most important thing for us now is to connect the existing superconducting theory and research on condensed matter physics with Wang Hao's recent results, so that we can continue to improve the theory of superconducting mechanisms."
"Combining relevant theories together and then conducting targeted experimental verification."
"This is the main direction of the future."
Charles Kane's statement also represents the thoughts of many physicists.
Wang Hao's latest research results have little to do with traditional research on superconducting mechanisms, but they are directly related to applications. However, some theoretical advances in the past have also been verified experimentally.
If the two can be combined, it will definitely be of great significance to the improvement of the theoretical mechanism of superconductivity.
Because he did not understand some information, Charles Kane's ideas were still subject to certain limitations.
American, Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Philip Rohrer is a very important expert in condensed matter physics. He has been working for the National Laboratory and conducting some confidential research.
Fifteen years ago, he participated in the research on exchanged gravity. The research continued for seven years. Because there was no further progress in related research, the experimental data was sealed.
Now he has received the latest news. Wang Hao's research is probably related to the AC gravity experiment.
It was not difficult for Amrican officials to get this news, and it was even very easy, because the physics laboratory initially reproduced the AC gravity experiment and did not keep it secret from the outside world.
Later, after the replica experiment was successful, the research on the direction of communication gravity was classified as confidential, but only the relevant data and technology were kept confidential, rather than the research information being completely confidential.
In fact, only very important research will keep research information confidential.
For example, human-body experiments cannot be accepted by the outside world.
For example, research on the latest military technology and some prohibited nuclear research.
etc.
Research related to AC gravity is still far from this level, and it cannot even catch up with some research such as "electromagnetic gun".
The reason is simple - it's not practical!
Research may sound powerful, but it is too difficult to move from theory to application.
The National Administration of Science and Industry’s internal assessment of the research is that “it will be impossible to use it in the next two hundred years.”
One is because the technical difficulty is too high.
The second is that the cost is too high.
Even if 100% anti-gravity is achieved, there is still a long way to go before it can be put into practical use. A single superconducting experiment can cost millions of dollars.
One can imagine how expensive it is to research and apply antigravity.
If similar research is to be put into application, the premise is that large-scale application of superconductivity is first realized.
…
Even if superconducting technology is applied on a large scale, it will be very difficult to apply antigravity. AC gravity fields exist in areas, and the equipment to achieve antigravity itself is very heavy.
Thinking about how many technical difficulties there are, "it won't be used in two hundred years" is not an empty statement.
Philip Rohrer got the news and knew that Wang Hao's latest research might be related to the AC gravity experiment. He was still very shocked because he had also participated in the AC gravity experiment, but it only increased the intensity of the AC gravity field.
Fifteen years ago, they had a dedicated team to study AC gravity. The research continued for seven years, and finally gave up and kept it secret.
They hope to develop real anti-gravity technology in the AC gravity experiment.
After spending three billion US dollars in funding, the results they gave only improved the intensity of the AC gravity field, and there was no progress in the principle.
"This is mainly because there has not been much progress in research on the superconducting mechanism."
Philip Rohrer summed it up this way.
After the experimental data were sealed, the research stagnated and was almost forgotten.
Philip Rohrer saw the relevant news again and realized that their research was on the wrong track. "It turns out that AC gravity experiments can assist in the study of superconducting mechanisms."
"We have always been wrong. Antigravity is too far away. Everything is still based on the research of superconductivity."
Now Philip Rohrer only felt embarrassed. Facing the questioning looks of the investigators who came to study, he could only explain, "The original direction provided by the project was to improve the anti-gravity strength, and we have also made great achievements in improving the strength.
.”
This is the truth.
Investing billions of dollars in research will naturally yield great results.
They increased the AC gravity field strength to 34%, and then came to the conclusion, "Forty percent is close to the extreme value of anti-gravity, and no further improvement is possible."
His advice to the research investigators is, "There is no need to keep this research confidential. If we rely solely on ourselves, it will be meaningless even if we make further breakthroughs."
"Now that this experiment has been confirmed to be related to the study of superconducting mechanisms, I think it can be made public to a certain extent, and we can also conduct technology exchanges with Chinese teams or cooperate in research."
"If there can be a breakthrough in superconducting technology, it will be of great value to both us and them."

Saikai University.
Under the upsurge of international public opinion, Wang Hao naturally received huge attention.
A large number of media reporters hope to interview him. The university has already experienced this. They have banned interviews again. Journalists must apply to be interviewed.
Higher-level departments are also very concerned about research results.
The physics laboratory has made a detailed report to the superiors. Leaders and experts from the National Administration of Science and Technology and the Science and Technology Division formed a team and went to Xihai University.
The leader is Zhou Minhua, deputy director of the Bureau of Science and Industry.
After Zhou Minhua led his team to Xihai University, he immediately asked Wang Hao about research-related content. They were mainly concerned about two directions.
One is the theoretical study of superconducting mechanisms.
This is an internationally recognized study and is of great significance. The development of superconducting technology is considered to be able to lead the fourth scientific and technological revolution of mankind.
…
Wang Hao said, "My research can calculate the superconducting critical temperature of elements, but the microscopic morphology is still very imperfect. I have no definite idea about the next step."
This is the truth.
The outside world believes that his research is a breakthrough in the relationship between superconducting theory and application from 0 to 1, and will lead to the rapid development of superconducting technology.
But in fact, a brand-new research will encounter many difficulties.
Now his research is limited to single elements. Going from single elements to compounds will be a difficult process. He hopes to see 'special' phenomena appear in experiments.
It did not appear in the experiment, which means that subsequent research has not yet found a direction.
Zhou Minhua nodded understandingly.
In many outside news reports, it seems that superconducting technology is about to be applied on a large scale, but they know very well that the distance is still far away, and the connection between theory and application has just been realized.
This correlation has reached '1', but 'large-scale application' is estimated to have to reach '100' before it is possible.
Later, Wang Hao talked about the research on AC gravity field strength, "We have achieved a field strength of more than twenty points, and we will improve it in the future. I think there is no problem in breaking through forty points."
"Although the field strengths cannot be superimposed, theoretically speaking, by applying two different superconducting materials in one experiment, it is possible to achieve higher field strengths."
After Wang Hao finished his explanation, the rest of the team went to visit the physics laboratory and learn more about the experimental research.
Zhou Minhua left the others alone and was alone with Wang Hao in the office. He asked, "Professor Wang, do you think we can achieve anti-gravity technology in the future by conducting our own research?"
"ah?"
Wang Hao was stunned when he heard this. He asked in surprise, "Director Zhou, you are talking about implementation, or...application?"
"For example, create an anti-gravity aircraft for military use? Or apply anti-gravity technology in the aerospace field?" Zhou Minhua gave two examples to illustrate.
Wang Hao shook his head and said, "If we just rely on ourselves, it won't be possible within dozens or hundreds of years, right?" M.oo.
"Others see it the same way, but I also want to hear your opinion." Zhou Minhua said with interest.
Wang Hao thought about it carefully and said, "There are two issues involved. One is technology, the application of anti-gravity. The premise is that superconducting technology can achieve low-cost, large-scale application."
"Superconducting technology is the prerequisite and low cost. It can be understood this way. For example, if an anti-gravity aircraft is used for military purposes, it can be compared to current aircraft."
"Civilian aircraft can be manufactured with a few million, but military aircraft may cost hundreds of millions or more than a billion, and the cost will be more than a hundred times higher."
"So technically speaking, it is necessary to achieve low-cost, large-scale application of superconducting technology."
Wang Hao continued, "The second is scientific research funding and energy."
"It's just about basic research, because we rely on ourselves for everything, and we have to overcome all technical difficulties ourselves, especially theoretical research."
"My research mentioned a 'critical constant', but to make this constant accurate, it would require countless experiments, and the total cost may be at least tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions."
…
"The same goes for subsequent research. There are many similar problems, which require a large number of repeated experiments."
"This cannot be accomplished by one team, but by two teams. It may require thousands or tens of thousands of scientific researchers, and it will also require an extremely large amount of time and funding."
"So if we rely on ourselves alone, we want to realize the application of anti-gravity technology..."
Wang Hao said and shook his head.
He is very interested in anti-gravity research and really wants to realize the application of anti-gravity technology, but any research in a new field cannot be completed by one or two teams.
This is a reality that must be faced.
Even just improving the underlying theory is an extremely complex process, and there are too many difficulties to overcome when it comes to implementing application technology.
After hearing this, Zhou Minhua nodded and said, "America found us and wanted to exchange technical data related to gravity experiments, and also said that we could conduct collaborative research. What do you think?"
Wang Hao was suddenly surprised.
This news was so sudden that it caught people off guard.
He thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what technology and experimental data they can provide."
"The core of our experiment is node deployment and control. The follow-up may involve the technology of mixing multiple materials for experiments. The basic experimental theory can be exchanged, but the key technologies are definitely not possible."
"If they want to make breakthroughs in these two directions, it will take a lot of energy and time."
"In anti-gravity research, it is impossible to maintain absolute confidentiality after expanding the scale. However, in new fields, we must master the absolute advantage in technology!"
Zhou Minhua nodded and said, "Professor Wang, you are an expert in this area. If a decision is finally made, whether it is cooperating with them or exchanging information, you will still have to grasp the content."
