Chapter 246: Amazing Transformation Temperature! Wang Hao: Just a small achievement!
Wang Hao has planned the main direction of the experiment and will not care about it anymore. He will just wait for the news from Deng Huanshan.
He returned to college and continued his normal working life.
It's already June.
The first round of review for the selection of academicians was over, and the list of people who entered the second round was announced. Wang Hao noticed that his name was on the list, so he didn't care anymore.
Others are very concerned about the co-election of academicians.
His mentor Pan Weiguo even called him to chat with him about the co-election of academicians, "Do you remember Xu Hao?"
Wang Hao recalled it carefully, and it seemed that he was an old professor who taught Lie group and Lie algebra. He asked with doubts, "What's wrong with Teacher Xu?"
"He gave up."
"Abandon the election?"
Pan Weiguo smiled and said, "Originally, the first round has already passed. When he found out that you also participated in this year's co-optation, he gave up immediately. Didn't you notice? On the list of those who passed the first round of the Department of Mathematics and Physics, the only one who studied mathematics was
Six.”
"ah……"
Wang Hao didn't expect this. He opened the webpage and checked it, and found that it was indeed the same as what Pan Weiguo said.
There are thirty people in the Department of Mathematical Physics who have passed the first round, of which only six are candidates in the field of mathematics, and the rest are in the field of physics.
Pan Weiguo said, "As you can see, normally there are more than ten. This year, the Department of Mathematics and Physics has twelve places. Normally, at least four are mathematics academicians. Now, there are only
Six..."
He laughed at everything he said, and added, "It's a good thing I didn't participate."
Pan Weiguo has some achievements and qualifications, and he also has certain opportunities. After he finished speaking, he continued, "Do you know why? It's all because of you!"
"because I?"
"It's not just because of you that Xu Hao gave up. It's just because he participated with you. I guess someone will give up in the future."
Pan Weiguo smiled and said, "The selection of academicians is indeed very important, but reputation is also very important. If I participate with you, I won't be able to get through this year."
Wang Hao finally understood.
It's okay for him to participate in the co-election of academicians, but others don't see it that way. He participated in the co-election of academicians with Wang Hao, and it would be better if he was not selected. If he was selected in the end, and the list was announced, it would definitely cause a stir on the Internet.
Hot discussion.
Wang Hao has really attracted too much attention. If he is successfully elected as an academician, he will definitely be noticed by the media. So it is better for those who are elected as academicians together and have the strength and confidence.
If you have no international achievements or won any awards, you may be criticized for being elected as an academician.
At that time, public opinion may say, "Why can this person be elected as an academician?"
"He has achieved nothing, yet he can be elected as an academician together with Wang Hao?"
"Academician has become so despicable?"
"..."
Some of them have no special achievements and are just earned through qualifications. It is better to give up altogether, otherwise it will cause controversy in public opinion and the reputation will not be preserved.
Wang Hao just smiled. He didn't think anything of it. He just gave up because of his seniority.
Academicians are academic leaders, so it would be meaningless if only those with qualifications could be selected.
He chatted with Pan Weiguo for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Qiu Hui'an coming over and said excitedly, "Teacher Wang, I'm done, done!"
Wang Hao knew what he was talking about as soon as he heard it, and immediately said happily, "Bring it over and let me have a look."
He re-entered the office and showed Qiu Hui'an the follow-up content, and found that Qiu Hui'an had indeed completed the follow-up proof.
Wang Hao also felt very happy.
If he had completed Legendre's conjecture on his own, he would only feel that he had completed a small mathematical problem and would not feel very excited.
Qiu Hui'an was his student, so the feeling was completely different.
This is success with students!
While Wang Hao was happy, he also made a detailed analysis of Qiu Hui'an's subsequent proof content, and simplified it by the way. There were some mistakes in the process (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
The complicated part.
"You can simplify this part a little more, and then you can sort it out."
Wang Hao said, "After you have sorted it out, show it to me and I will help you check it from beginning to end."
"No problem, I'll submit it for you."
"There is no problem in submitting this proof to "New Advances in Mathematics". If you are not in a hurry, you can also publish it in "Journal of Mathematics", but the meaning is the same. "Journal of Mathematics" has a greater influence."
From Wang Hao's point of view, there is no difference between "New Advances in Mathematics" and "Journal of Mathematics". They are both top journals in mathematics.
It's different for others.
"Journal of Mathematics" publishes relatively few papers and the quality is relatively high. Being able to publish a paper in "Journal of Mathematics" can be said to be an honor.
Qiu Hui'an nodded vigorously and said, "Teacher Wang, I will listen to you."
After Qiu Hui'an left with excitement, Wang Hao was in a better mood. He walked around the laboratory and paid attention to the space agency's cooperation projects.
Because the assembly of the new architecture has been completed long ago, the project has entered the final stage. It is just a matter of adding some minor details, and it will be completed in about a month.
Wang Hao paid attention to Zhang Zhiqiang's project again and talked with him about the difficulties of the project.
The two of them were about to go out together, but they heard a quarrel when passing by the workroom.
It’s Helen, Chen Mengmeng.
The other one is...Paul Phil-Jones?
Zhang Zhiqiang walked in quickly, interrupted the quarrel between several people, and asked, "What are you arguing about?" He wanted to go over and act as a peacemaker.
Zhang Zhiqiang can be said to be the "second in command" of the laboratory. He cannot participate in core research, but he will be involved in most of the "daily work" of the laboratory, including personnel and logistics.
So when there was a quarrel, he still had to come over and take care of it.
Paul Phil-Jones, Helen and Chen Mengmeng stopped arguing and looked at Zhang Zhiqiang together, and also noticed Wang Hao walking in behind them.
Paul Phil-Jones knew Zhang Zhiqiang, but he didn't say anything.
Helen didn't say anything either.
Chen Mengmeng was most familiar with Zhang Zhiqiang, so she explained, "It's like this. We are talking about the basic expression method after the introduction of annihilation force in quantum physics."
"Teacher Jones believes that the annihilation force can be explained through a specific vibrating string, but this vibrating string is based on a hypothetical graviton, which requires 11 dimensions to operate. He also described how all 11 dimensions are reduced into an extremely tiny one.
In the space, it is about 10 -33 centimeters of space."
"Helen and I both believe that this is the way string theory works, and it is wrong. If the annihilation force is introduced in this way, the basic expression will become very complicated, and annihilation theory and string theory must be combined.
"
"Teacher Zhang, what do you think? Who do you think is right?"
After Chen Mengmeng finished explaining, he, Paul Phil-Jones and Helen looked at Zhang Zhiqiang with sharp eyes.
Zhang Zhiqiang's brain was confused after hearing this. He looked at each other from left to right with the three of them, and it took him a long time to say a word with his half-open mouth, "This question...should we wait until after dinner?"
He lowered his head and looked at his watch, grabbed Wang Hao and said, "It's almost dinner time, I'm so hungry, let's go quickly."
"……All right."
Wang Hao hesitated for a moment and left one sentence, "There is no absolutely correct direction for academic discussions. Also, be careful not to get into fights!"
The two of them left together.
After they were interrupted like this, several people were no longer in the mood to continue arguing.
In fact, as Wang Hao said, there is no absolutely correct direction for academic research.
Paul Phil-Jones's idea is not wrong, because he has been studying string theory, so he can directly use some mathematical logic for nested use.
Helen and Chen Mengmeng were not wrong either. They were greatly influenced by Wang Hao and still hoped to conduct research from scratch.
The speed of the latter is definitely slower, but the key is to be steady and steady.
The former is fast and medium (this chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue)
Errors may occur along the way, conflicts may arise in subsequent research, and corrections may need to be made slowly.
After Paul Phil-Jones came to Xihai University, he spent most of his time in the Mason Mathematics Laboratory. He had not officially entered the position yet, so he had no teaching-related work.
The environment of the Mason Number Laboratory is relatively better, and he can do research here with peace of mind.
The good thing about the arrival of Paul Phil-Jones is that Wang Hao becomes a little more relaxed. Helen, Chen Mengmeng, and Xu Chao are all doing research on annihilation theory combined with quantum physics. You can ask him any questions you have.
In terms of quantum physics and theoretical physics, Paul Phil-Jones is much more professional than Wang Hao.
The arrival of Paul Phil-Jones also has its downsides.
For example, he doesn't look like a "teacher" at all. He seems to be like a child, arguing with students about problems.
Genius is always different.
…
One week later.
Wang Hao received the news that a new material had been prepared by the superconducting materials experimental group, and he immediately went to the experimental group.
After finding Deng Huanshan, he saw the newly prepared materials.
It is a small metallic film, which is silvery gray and relatively dull.
Deng Huanshan introduced, "Professor Wang, we followed the direction you mentioned and conducted three consecutive sets of experiments, and finally obtained such a thin film. The specific element content has not been determined in detail."
"According to my experience, the critical temperature of this film should be higher than last time."
There is nothing wrong with Deng Huanshan’s experience.
Because he has been researching superconducting materials for a long time, he knows the preparation methods well, and he can make a rough judgment at a glance at the materials.
"How much do you think the critical temperature can be increased?" Wang Hao asked curiously.
"Should it reach 85K?" Deng Huanshan said hesitantly.
“Only 85?k”
Deng Huanshan was originally quite excited. When he heard what Wang Hao said, he felt a little discouraged. He emphasized, "85K is already a lot. It is 6K higher than last time."
He was actually a little excited.
They followed the direction mentioned by Wang Hao to conduct experimental research. They didn't have much hope at first, but they didn't expect that they actually developed a new material, and it looked very good.
He is also looking forward to the specific superconducting critical temperature of the new material.
Wang Hao nodded and said, "When can we start measuring?"
Deng Huanshan said, "It will probably take until the afternoon when the properties of the material are stable."
"Then let me take a look at the preparation process first."
After Wang Hao finished speaking, he looked at the experimental process and found that the research was indeed done in the direction he said, and as a result, new materials were prepared.
He carefully analyzed the process and estimated a value, "The minimum can exceed 100k!"
This is a conclusion reached through simple analysis.
Although he has not completely cracked the relationship between the material preparation process and the materials, his understanding of the theory is unmatched by others.
In addition, he also had the previous experiment as a reference.
It is normal for materials prepared in this way to exceed 100k.
Deng Huanshan's eyes widened when he heard what Wang Hao said. He really couldn't believe it. The critical temperature of the new material exceeded 100k?
This number is incredible.
Even in the research that he personally participated in, he felt that the 100K data was very unreliable, but he didn't say anything after hearing what Wang Hao said.
Now it feels like the two of them are working together to estimate the superconducting critical temperature of new materials. Deng Huanshan is also very conflicted. On the one hand, he hopes that Wang Hao's estimate is correct, but on the other hand, he feels that his professionalism has been questioned.
.
“85k is not bad!”
"It would be incredible if it could reach 90k..."
“100k?”
Deng Huanshan still shook his head silently.
Soon the time arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon. After a staff member conducted a test and determined that the properties of the new material were stable, testing could begin.
New testing will begin soon.
(This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue)
This test is much simpler than the AC gravity experiment. It just measures the superconducting critical temperature of the new material and continuously cools it down after the electricity is turned on.
The data will come out soon.
When the temperature dropped below 120K, someone exclaimed, "It has changed!"
“Converted indeed!”
"It really is!"
“Now it’s 119K!”
The parameters of the testing instrument can be read out.
The people who conducted the testing experiments did not expect that superconducting transitions could be detected at values below 120k.
They were a little confused for a while.
Deng Huanshan's eyes suddenly widened. He took a few steps forward and looked at the number on the instrument, "119K", and then opened his mouth in surprise.
“119k?”
“Really 119k?”
Deng Huanshan took a deep breath and turned to look at Wang Hao, who was sitting calmly. His heart was filled with disbelief.
In the morning, he thought it was incredible to have more than 100k, but now the data he saw was 119K, which was only 1k short of 120k.
What is this concept?
The news released by Amerikan said that thousands of scientists have gathered together to work hard to produce more than 120k superconducting materials that can be used in industry within three years.
Deng Huanshan is very confident that the material they prepared can be used in industry. Just looking at the color of the material, it can be seen that the metal content is very high, and the current carrying strength is naturally not low.
The current critical temperature of superconducting materials is 119K, which can be said to have almost achieved the goal.
"So, that's done"
Deng Huanshan opened his mouth slightly and walked back to look at Wang Hao in surprise, "Professor Wang, it's really more than 100k or 119k as you said!"
"This is a research I participated in, it's simply...amazing!"
"Have we accomplished our goal?"
Wang Hao was also a little surprised. He estimated that it would exceed 100k, but he thought it would not exceed 110k. Unexpectedly, he got a surprise for himself.
119k?
He nodded with a smile on his face and said, "It's not bad!"
"This result can be reported," Deng Huanshan said looking forward to it, "119k! The goal has been achieved, and it can be put into industrial production. If it is released, it will definitely shock the world."
"Report?"
Wang Hao shook his head, "It's just a small improvement, what should I report? We haven't completed the goal yet. I said before that the goal is 150k."
"Well……"
Deng Huanshan was stunned when he heard this. He felt that his thinking was not in the same dimension as Wang Hao's.
Small improvement?
Previously, they prepared a material with a transition temperature of 79K, which was already considered a big improvement, 24K higher than the highest domestic temperature of 55K.
Now it has been increased to 119k, which is an increase of 40k from 79k.
The result...a small improvement
Wang Haodao, "You may still not understand our basics. The "Type 1" element combination has broad development prospects. 150k is the short-term goal."
"119k is also a result, but don't worry, we still need to conduct experiments and strive to improve it next time. It will be more difficult to go beyond 150k."
"So don't make any noise first, and take your time and step by step."
He patted Deng Huanshan on the shoulder and said, "You must be patient when doing research."
"Be down-to-earth, one step at a time, and take your time!"
"Uh-huh."
Deng Huanshan put on a teachable expression, but the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Solid?
One step at a time?
The current research cannot be related to "solid and solid", right?
Like... flying?
…
When a superconducting material with a transition temperature of 119K was prepared, everyone in the experimental group felt very excited.
After the experiment is over, the next step is to record and summarize.
This is the job of the experimental group.
Deng Huanshan also opened (this chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue)
Hajime got busy. He was busy recording the details of the experiment and urging each group to do a good job.
At the same time, he also received information from above that Academician Yan Shiqing would serve as the director of the research center.
Deng Huanshan was a little worried when he heard the news. He called Academician Wu Hui, who he had a good relationship with, and asked, "Academician Wu, I know Academician Yan, but not much. After he comes, he will not interfere in the experiment."
Bar?"
"What do you mean?" Wu Hui didn't understand for a while.
Deng Huanshan said, "Academician Wu, let me tell you the truth. With the guidance of Professor Wang Hao, our research has gone very smoothly, and we have already achieved... small results. Now we are afraid that someone will suddenly give orders randomly. You know Academician Yan, you
Give me a thorough explanation and tell me..."
Wu Hui's mind was immediately filled with "small achievements." He found that Deng Huanshan did not explain directly or continue to inquire, "Don't worry, Academician Yan is very professional in the research of superconducting materials, and he is not that kind of person."
People who mess with orders..."
He said a few nice words to Yan Shiqing, which made Deng Huanshan feel relieved.
After putting down the phone, Wu Hui thought about the "small results" that Deng Huanshan said hesitantly, and then contacted "Wang Hao" about his research past, and suddenly became a little worried about Yan Shiqing.
If Yan Shiqing has not officially taken office, the experimental team will have achieved great results. By then, it will feel very embarrassing, right?
Then it feels like there is no need for anyone else. What is Yan Shiqing going to do in the past?
Taking credit?
Steal Wang Hao's credit?
Adding to the chaos?
Wu Hui hurriedly called Yan Shiqing and asked him in a roundabout way when he was going to the West Sea. He also mentioned insinuating that he should go there quickly, otherwise it would be bad if the experiment was delayed.
Yan Shiqing nodded and said, "Isn't it already the beginning of the month? I'm handing over the work and will be there at the end of the month."
"You have to hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if you delay the experiment."
"What kind of experiment is there?" Yan Shiqing sneered, "Old Wu, you are just too concerned. The research has just begun. I guess the equipment over there has just been shipped, and the theory is still far away."
"Research that lasts for several years or more than ten years is not rushed. You have to know that at my age, it is equivalent to retirement there."
"Uh...that's right, just watch it."
Wu Hui couldn't persuade him anymore.
There is nothing wrong with what Yan Shiqing said. He is 63 years old. He used to work at Xihai University, and his research lasted at least a few years, so he is unlikely to go anywhere else.
When the time comes, he will definitely retire in office.
Yan Shiqing would understand after a while. He still wanted to stay at the Academy of Sciences for a while and stay with his old colleagues and friends for a while.
I left, but I won't come back.
Yan Shiqing put down the phone and shook his head in amusement. He knew that Wu Hui was concerned about himself and the superconducting material project.
This guy is such a hothead!
However, with research that lasts for several years or more than ten years, what is the rush?
