Chapter 507: First-order gold and silver, results released!(1/2)
After completing the resistivity measurement of first-order silver, Hu Xiuquan's research team was already red-eyed.
The previous measurement results of first-level gold are exciting enough, but first-level gold is gold after all, and it is upgraded gold. The market price of gold is several hundred yuan per gram, and upgraded gold will definitely be more expensive.
It's expensive. Just double or triple the price, and the price of one gram can exceed a thousand yuan.
"If 1 gram of first-order gold is sold for only 1,000 yuan, it is really too cheap." They also discussed it after measuring the resistivity of first-order gold, and concluded that even if first-order gold can nearly achieve superconductivity, the popular
The field of application is only the most high-end.
For example, mobile phone.
High-end mobile phones on the market can sell for 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and using first-order gold as an internal metal conductor requires about 50 grams.
Even if the price of first-order gold is one thousand yuan per gram, the material cost of the wire is as high as 50,000 yuan, and the entire mobile phone may be sold for more than 80,000 yuan.
Even in countries with very high incomes, it is not at ordinary consumption levels.
First level silver is different.
Although they only did one test, because the data differed by an order of magnitude, they were very sure that the resistivity of first-order silver was lower than that of first-order gold, and it could be used as a superconducting material in most fields.
The market price of silver is only about five yuan per gram. The price of first-grade silver has increased twenty-fold, but it is still only one hundred yuan per gram.
Similarly, to manufacture a high-end mobile phone, the material cost of 50 grams of metal conductor material is only 5,000 yuan, which is relatively affordable.
Everyone in Hu Xiuquan's research team is red-eyed. They are very sure that the test they are doing is a great result.
As long as it is released, it will definitely shock the whole world.
"Hurry up, it will be completed tonight!"
"Must be done!"
"The experiments must be rigorous and the data obtained must be more accurate. I don't want the data to be revised by other institutions after the results are published in the future..."
"When the time comes, it will really become a joke!"
Hu Xiuquan said in a commanding tone.
After that, they continued to be busy with the measurement experiment. The experiment itself was not difficult at all and was completed step by step according to the established steps.
In the middle of the measurement experiment, Hu Xiuquan also sighed in a low voice, "I finally understand why many people at the Institute of Materials Science and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, don't like Wang Hui..."
Hu Xiuquan previously worked in the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences. He knew many scholars from the Institute of Materials Science and Technology and discussed many academic issues together.
Wang Hui is the one who is 'disliked' by the material scholars.
As for the reason...
"They are just jealous!"
"You see, when we were transferred here to work, we didn't do anything, and the results were delivered directly to our doorsteps. Moreover, they were major results, major international results, which were enough to bring about earth-shaking changes in human science and technology and were recorded in the annals of history."
"I have a hunch..."
"Soon, we will be jealous too!"
Wang Hui was envied by the scholars at the Institute of Materials Science because he followed Wang Hao in his research and made many amazing discoveries almost as soon as he was tested in the laboratory.
These results belong to the annihilation force field experimental group, but Wang Hui is the person directly responsible for the detection and will definitely share part of the results. At the very least, he can write a heavyweight paper based on the detection process.
I have to say, this feeling is really great.
Hu Xiuquan couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, "We will also be jealous in the future, but I don't regret it. I have a bright future with Academician Wang!"
"If any of you regret it, please apply to leave immediately."
"I'll sign and approve it directly!"
A deputy team leader smiled and said, "Professor Hu, how about you apply to leave...and I become the team leader?"
Hu Xiuquan glared hard and responded with one word, "Get out!"
The others immediately laughed.
…
The next day, the test results came out.
The resistivity of first-order silver is 2.73x 10^(-14)Ω.m.
Hu Xiuquan's team also re-tested the resistivity of first-order gold and determined the result again to be 1.91x 10^(-13)Ω.m.
This is a very important discovery.
Without waiting for other research results, Wang Hao had someone write a report and submit it separately. The report was immediately noticed by Teacher Xu.
"First-order gold, first-order silver, almost superconducting?"
"In other words, many fields can be treated as room temperature superconducting metal materials? This..."
"correct!"
Teacher Xu was surprised by the content of the results, and suddenly thought of what the decision-maker, Teacher Zhao, said, and asked someone to submit the report to Teacher Zhao.
Teacher Zhao quickly came to the science and technology department.
"I went to the experimental group last time and knew about first-order gold and black silver. I didn't expect that first-order silver would be produced so quickly?"
“2.73x 10^(-14)……”
"This data..."
Teacher Zhao is a bit difficult to evaluate. He only knows that "many fields are close to superconductivity", but the specific situation is not clear.
They simply asked Academician Zhang Guiyuan, an electronic circuit expert.
Academician Zhang Guiyuan works at the Science Foundation. When he heard the question, he felt a little confused, "Teacher Zhao, the resistivity data you mentioned... is a bit fantasy!"
"What do you mean?" Teacher Zhao was a little confused.
Zhang Guiyuan said, "This is simply impossible. The resistivity of elemental metals is the lowest. Because of this, generally conductors use elemental metals. For example, copper is used the most."
"The resistivity of copper is only 1.75x10^(-8)..."
"The data you mentioned is simply impossible. What's the point? If a certain metal has this resistivity, doesn't it mean it's superconducting at room temperature?"
"Stop making such jokes..."
Teacher Zhao's face turned dark when he heard this. If the other party hadn't been an old academician, he would have wanted to scold him and criticize him for an hour.
joke?
Did he find the other party just to make a joke?
Zhang Guiyuan noticed that Teacher Zhao had a bad look on his face, and felt that what he said was a bit excessive, so he quickly said, "That's right. This data is really too low, more than half a million times lower than copper!"
"This can be said to be the data of superconductors."
"The resistance of superconducting is not zero. One reason is that superconducting materials contain impurities, especially metallic superconductors, and it is impossible to completely eliminate the interference of impurities."
"In addition, there is a certain thermal resistance and contact resistance between the superconductor material and the external environment, which will lead to energy loss and resistance."
"Superconducting with zero resistance is only an ideal state. Even if the temperature is low, there is still a very, very weak resistance."
"So, this can be regarded as a superconducting material!"
Teacher Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Guiyuan with some amusement. He finally understood why Zhang Guiyuan was nicknamed "Big Cannon".
This guy's mouth is really disgusting.
Teacher Zhao still responded, "Wouldn't it be better if you said this earlier? Since I asked you, there must be a reason."
"real?"
Zhang Guiyuan suddenly reacted, "Is there really such a metal? What group researched it? It's a book, it is superconducting..."
Teacher Zhao shook his head and said, "Okay, you can go back."
"..."
Zhang Guiyuan held a breath in his chest, almost suffocating himself to death. He wanted to know the specific reason, but he let himself go?
What's the difference between reading a novel and being eunuched just after reaching the climax?
Zhang Guiyuan's answer reassured Teacher Zhao and Teacher Xu, and then they couldn't help but get excited. First-order silver can be regarded as a room-temperature superconducting material.
Room-temperature superconducting materials can lead mankind to achieve a scientific and technological revolution, and huge economic benefits can be easily created around room-temperature superconducting materials.
There is no need to consult experts and scholars in this regard.
Taking mobile phones as an example, if there are mobile phone manufacturers that can obtain first-level silver materials, the high-end mobile phones they produce will be able to easily occupy the market.
Other mobile phone brands will instantly become uncompetitive.
First-grade silver, when used in high-end electronic products, can be said to be cost-effective. For example, in a high-end mobile phone, the weight of the internal metal conductor is not high.
Generally speaking, high-end mobile phone metal materials account for about 30% of the total weight of the mobile phone.
Among them, copper plays an important role, accounting for about 20% of all metals, silver accounts for about 5%, and others include nickel, gold, tin, etc.
However, most metals are not conductors.
For example, the main role of gold is stability protection, because the chemical properties of gold are the most stable, while tin, which accounts for a large proportion, is used for circuit 'soldering'.
