Chapter 375 One gram, one hundred million US dollars!
Superconducting Materials Research Center. Main entrance.
A car slowly stopped, the side door opened from the inside, and Wang Hao got out of the car. Deng Huanshan and Wang Hui immediately greeted him, "Academician Wang, here we come!"
"Academician Wang!"
Wang Hao nodded towards Deng Huanshan, touched hands with Wang Hui, and then quickly walked into the research center and went straight to the office in the experimental room on the second floor.
That's his office.
Wang Hao rarely comes to the Superconducting Materials Research Center, but he also holds the position of deputy director of the research center and has direct decision-making power on the affairs of the research center.
Deng Huanshan and Wang Hui also followed.
After arriving at the office, a staff member helped make coffee, brought it to the three people, and left.
At this time, Wang Hui spoke with some excitement, "Academician Wang, have you read the report? We conducted an experiment and concluded that an iron-based compound synthesized from mutated iron elements has a superconducting critical temperature
It’s 14k more than normal.”
Deng Huanshan added detailed information, "C014. The superconducting critical temperature of this material is 93K, but the critical temperature of C014 synthesized using mutated iron elements is around 107K."
"We all think this discovery is very valuable." Wang Hao nodded.
He took a sip of coffee and said thoughtfully, "You only conducted one experiment?" Deng Huanshan said helplessly, "There are too few materials."
"To be exact, it's only more than two grams so far." Wang Hui added, "I have been doing this work for more than a month, but the content of mutated elements in the materials submitted for inspection is really too low."
Wang Hao asked doubtfully, "Didn't we provide more materials?"
"The main problem is refining."
Wang Hui explained, "The raw materials are sufficient, but because the content of mutated iron is very low, we need physical and chemical methods, which require a total of twenty-seven steps, to extract the mutated iron."
"This has improved the process. We have determined the physical properties of the mutated iron element and improved the screening mechanism..."
"Another limitation is the lack of manpower, and funding is also a problem. Many operations need to be performed manually and can only be refined in a laboratory environment. Several steps require vacuum, high pressure and high temperature environments, and some specific equipment. We
The equipment in the laboratory is a bit backward..."
Wang Hao understood. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's do this. I'll help you apply for funds and make sure to increase the refining speed. Variation elements are an area that requires a lot of research."
Wang Hui suddenly said happily, "Thank you, Academician Wang!" "You're welcome, this is also our research."
After understanding the problem of refining mutant elements, they began to discuss the problem of superconducting experiments.
Although only one experiment was conducted, it can be determined that the superconducting critical temperature of iron-based compounds synthesized from mutated iron elements is indeed relatively higher.
This conclusion is acceptable.
Some related research has been done before. The chemical properties of mutant iron elements have not changed, but the physical properties have been greatly changed compared with conventional iron.
For example, the melting point and boiling point of mutated iron have increased. For example, the density of mutated iron has also increased.
This time, the laboratory verified the superconducting properties. However, considering the cost of the experiment and the rarity of the extracted materials, we simply used this as a basis to create the corresponding iron-based superconducting material. As a result, the corresponding iron-based superconducting material was superconducting.
The conduction critical temperature has also been increased.
The superconducting property of materials is an extremely special physical property, but it is still within the range of physical properties.
Since other physical properties have changed, it is normal for the superconducting critical temperature to increase. The results are normal, but the significance is very significant.
"This is of great value to the research of superconducting materials." Deng Huanshan said with some excitement, "If we use this mutated material as a basis and manufacture corresponding iron-based superconducting materials, we may be able to further improve the superconducting criticality.
question."
"Now the critical temperature of iron-based superconducting materials that we routinely use on a large scale is around 180K. If it is raised further, for example, to over 200K or 220K, it can be used for daily use in certain special environments."
What Deng Huanshan said is a bit exaggerated, but it is true to a certain extent.
220K can be roughly calculated as minus 53 degrees.
In some extreme environments on the earth, the superconducting critical problem of minus 53 degrees can indeed be directly used.
The ultimate goal of research in the direction of superconducting materials is to create room-temperature superconducting materials that can be used. If a certain metallic superconducting material can be used at room temperature, it will greatly change human life.
Today's superconducting technology has been booming, but the critical temperature of 180K is still too low. Coolant must be used to maintain superconducting performance, which naturally makes it impossible to achieve large-scale application.
Wang Hao naturally knew the significance and value of it. He took a deep breath and said, "This experimental result is indeed of great significance. It seems that the mutant elements must be studied seriously."
He has always known that mutant elements are the main direction, but the focus has always been on increasing the intensity of F-rays. Only by increasing the intensity of the rays can more mutant elements be created.
Now, research must go hand in hand.
Superconductivity is really important.
If we can rely on mutated elements to create superconducting materials that can be used daily, the scientific and technological value and economic value contained in it are simply unimaginable.
That will completely change human life, bring human science and technology into a new era, and truly lead mankind to achieve a new round of scientific and technological revolution.
But it is also very difficult to conduct all-round research. One is the problem of material extraction. The study of mutated elements is definitely not just iron. Other elements will also mutate, but the content is very small and cannot be separated at all.
Work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if it is only for iron element, more than two grams have been isolated until now. It is definitely very difficult to do large-scale research.
.
This is especially true in the field of research on superconducting properties.
First, they must rely on mutant elements to create a large number of iron-based superconducting materials, and then continue to conduct experiments to verify the characteristics of the materials, thereby increasing their understanding of mutant iron elements.
This cannot be done directly.
For example, the superconducting critical temperature of a certain mutated iron-based compound may increase, but the superconducting critical temperature of other mutated iron-based compounds may decrease.
This is an uncertain thing.
In research in the field of superconductivity, research only on conventional iron elements requires a large number of experiments.
Now it is a brand new mutated element, which is even more difficult. "The refining speed is a big problem."
Wang Hao finally said, "I will apply for funding from my superiors, and then more people will be involved in the work."
"In addition, I will go back and consider whether to let other institutions join in. If we alone do such a large-scale study, the gains outweigh the losses."
"If more institutions can join, their research will also be made public, which will be very beneficial to us, because only we can produce..."
......at the same time.
International public opinion is still discussing the experimental research information released by the Anti-Gravity Laboratory.
Among them, information related to mutated elements is the focus of much attention and the most discussed content in public opinion.
At the same time, there were also many doubts in the public opinion. "The Anti-Gravity Form Research Center released the experimental results, but they did not come up with the so-called mutant elements. No one knows whether it is true or false."
"Maybe it's just fake news, or it's an error in experimental testing. This research result is very vague."
"The International Annihilation Theory Organization has not made this discovery. Compared with the Antigravity Research Center, I still believe more in Empoli-Cuba..."
Empoli-Cubo is indeed denying the element of variation;
What the public said was very vague, and they only raised their own doubts and explained that they had not found anything.
Within the International Annihilation Theory Organization, Empoli-Cubo said with certainty, "That is fake news."
"We haven't discovered anything. Even if the intensity of the field force we create is lower, theoretically there will be discoveries instead of nothing at all..."
This statement is very unscientific.
There is a possibility that the strength of the annihilation force field is not up to standard, so it is naturally impossible to create mutant elements.
But there are still many people who support Empoli-Cubo, because the emergence of mutant elements is inconsistent with previous science, and humans have not discovered so-called mutant elements so far.
If there really are so-called mutant elements, they should be able to be extracted from nature.
Empoli-Cubo's statement is tantamount to digging a hole for themselves. They must follow the experimental results released by the Antigravity Behavior Research Center for continuous verification.
"We have no way to determine which of the experimental results they released is true and which is false."
"So we have to verify it ourselves, we only believe in our own experiments."
Before most experimental verifications are completed, there is no room for innovative research.
Outside of the International Annihilation Theory Organization, there are also many scholars who have questioned the mutant elements, and even public opinion has many voices of doubt.
In fact, this is the result of the media guiding public opinion.
For many countries and institutions, doubts about mutant elements have only advantages and no disadvantages.
The Antigravity Behavior Research Center is a research institution that they cannot control. A large number of doubts can undermine the authority of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center.
If the mutant elements are real, a large number of skeptical voices may force the Antigravity Research Center to disclose more experimental data and evidence.
In fact, similar practices also illustrate the concerns of many institutions.
In the field of materials science, countries and institutions headed by American have always occupied a dominant position. The gap between domestic materials technology and the highest international level is very large, and it is even much larger than other fields of science and technology.
For example, the chip field has attracted much public attention.
There is a gap of "several generations" between domestic chip technology and the international top level, but "several generations" also have clear numbers. Maybe a lot of manpower and material resources are invested in research, and there is a chance to catch up in a few years or more than ten years.
The materials field is different.
Many top-notch materials cannot be produced domestically. This does not mean that research cannot be carried out, but in research in the field of materials, investment does not necessarily pay off, and in many cases the gain outweighs the loss.
For example, certain materials in the civilian field have always relied on imports, so there will be no large companies investing in research.
Because even if a lot of manpower and material resources are invested and the corresponding manufacturing method is developed, the manufacturing cost may be higher than the import price, which means that the research has no economic value.
The market is also a key factor limiting the development of materials.
Now a brand new mutated element has appeared, and only the Antigravity Behavior Research Center has produced it using high-end technology, which is equivalent to opening up a new field of materials science.
This new field may lead to huge progress and development in materials science. The most important thing is that they do not have manufacturing capabilities.
This is what worries many institutions, that they will no longer have a technological monopoly in the materials field.
Public opinion was fermented on this basis. As time went by, conspiracy theories even took over a dominant position and affected domestic public opinion.
Naturally, the mainstream public opinion in China will not criticize the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, but some special remarks will appear, "Maybe this time is just a smoke bomb. We have a monopoly on related technologies, and they have no way to do anything."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is the benefit of mastering the most high-end technology!"
"In the cutting-edge field of annihilation physics, we have the most advanced technology, and we just released experimental results.
Even if it is false news, it can have such a big impact..."
"It's just that it's a bit exaggerated to say that some mutated element was discovered!"
Of course, this weird public opinion atmosphere cannot be allowed to develop, otherwise the antigravity behavior research center may be affected.
So Wang Hao stood up.
He was interviewed by a reporter from the most influential TV station in the country and said with certainty, "There are no problems with the experiments we released. They are all real. There are no smoke bombs or conspiracy as public opinion says."
"As for the International Annihilation Theory Organization, their technology is just not up to standard and they have not created a stronger annihilation force field."
"It is very difficult to extract mutant elements because the content is extremely small. So far, we have invested a lot of money, manpower, and material resources, and we have only been able to extract a few grams."
"specific?"
"About a billion or so."
Wang Hao estimated the number, "I'm not sure, it's just that the manufacturing cost is very high."
"We also know the reasons for public doubts, so we are discussing whether to disclose the results to the world or let other institutions participate in the research."
"After all, technology belongs to all mankind!"......
Wang Hao's personal influence is great.
He publicly accepted an interview, explained the authenticity of the experiment, and also talked about disclosing the results to the world and possibly allowing other institutions to participate in the research, which immediately changed the direction of public opinion.
Domestic public opinion has changed greatly, and international public opinion has also been greatly affected.
Many people are beginning to look forward to the so-called sharing of results, or the issue of involving other institutions in research, and some scholars have sent emails to inquire.
The most typical one is Novotny, who directly asked about the issue of disclosure of results, and also asked about the possibility of collaborative research in the future.
Novotny is one of the top scholars of the International Annihilation Theory Organization and is still very influential internationally.
After Wang Hao saw the content of the email, he chuckled and understood the meaning.
In fact, Novotny is concerned about cooperation, not the research issue of mutated elements, because the research of mutated elements is directly related to materials science. In Novotny's field, he is definitely more concerned about the manufacturing of mutated elements, and to
To create mutated elements, you must be able to create a stronger annihilation field.
Wang Hao replied with two sentences, "Mr. Novotny, there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future on the research of annihilation force fields."
"As for the research on mutated elements..." "You will know soon."
...
Novotny found out very quickly indeed. Two days later.
The flower grower's science and technology department released information about the mutated elements, which immediately attracted major international attention.
The information released by the science and technology department can be described in one sentence, "We have decided to share the extracted mutant iron elements with major international materials institutions for joint research."
No further explanation will follow.
Some large international institutions that responded quickly immediately contacted the science and technology department and learned about the method of 'sharing'. They needed to pay the cost of manufacturing and extracting the mutant elements.
Specific price - one gram, 100 million US dollars.
