Although the cooperation intention was initially reached, Professor Tillman Lunt did not leave.
Including a team he brought here also temporarily stayed in Jinling.
The transaction of "High Temperature Copper Carbon Silver Composite Superconducting Material Technology" for "ASDEX Controlled Nuclear Fusion Reactor" is a major event. Both parties must fully confirm the other party's qualifications and transaction technology.
.......
In the hotel room, a middle-aged and elderly German materials expert with a high nose stood by the window, looking at the bright lights in the distance.
"Bruce, would you like some?" Behind him, another companion opened the door and walked in with champagne and a glass in hand.
Bruce Valk, who was standing in front of the window looking out at the scenery, turned around and said, "Then have some champagne. Drinking some champagne will help you sleep."
His companion came in, poured some champagne for him, and stood with him in front of the window. He looked at the feasting and feasting in the distance and said with emotion: "China is developing so fast. The scale of urbanization is much larger than Hamburg."
Hearing this, Bruce Valk asked curiously: "Have you been to China before?"
The companion smiled and nodded: "Well, more than ten or twenty years ago, when we traded HL-2 with them, I came once as a dispatch expert. At that time, their development was still very backward."
“It’s incredible to see such a big change in more than ten years.”
"I heard that the permanent population of this city is over 30 million. Our country does not have such a large city, and the population of Berlin is only four million."
Bruce Valk said with a smile: "It is not a good thing for a city to have too many people. If it is living in a pigeon cage, what's the point?"
"Although Berlin has a small population, everyone has their own home."
Hearing this, Claire Bryan, who was holding the champagne, smiled and looked up out of the window without any excuse.
In fact, Bruce Valk's views are actually more representative of most groups in the Germanic country. For most Germanic people, arrogance is engraved in their bones.
Not to mention facing this country that is lagging behind them.
In comparison, he is more rational and different, maybe because he often travels abroad on business trips and has seen the development of many countries.
In more than ten years, if you go to Berlin or Hamburg, you may not see any changes at all. But if you go to this country, it will become completely unfamiliar.
After squinting at the scenery outside for a while, Bruce Valk suddenly said: "Can you tell Professor Xu tomorrow, can we really see the industrial mass production of that kind of high-temperature superconducting material?"
"If I remember correctly, he disclosed this material in November or December last year, right? It only took three or four months for the products in the laboratory to be commercialized? Do you think
Can he do it?"
He has no objections to the transaction between the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics and China for the ASDEX device.
After all, the ASDEX device has been retired, and it is not his turn to make the decision.
However, Bruce has serious doubts about China's scientific and technological innovation capabilities, especially in materials, a subject that relies heavily on experience and past data.
After all, in his impression, China has always been a relatively backward third world country. Even though its economic weight has now climbed to the second place in the world, in his opinion, it is just relying on its huge population.
.
If you want to convert the per capita economy, the Germanic country can win with a crushing advantage.
Moreover, in his consistent memory, China has always been in the stage of catching up with science and technology. Now that a scientific and technological achievement that leads the world has suddenly appeared, how can it not surprise people?
More importantly, this is still in the field of superconductivity in the field of materials.
How long has China developed in this field?
Ten years? Fifteen years?
Anyway, it will definitely not happen in twenty years.
In this area, they have been researching it since the last century, and their accumulated experience and data are far beyond what China can match.
Under such circumstances, it is even more incredible that a world-leading high-temperature superconducting material suddenly appeared in China.
...
On the side, Claire Bryan, who was holding champagne, thought for two seconds and said: "If it were anyone else, maybe I would still be a little skeptical like you."
"But I still want to believe the results of Professor Xu's research."
After a pause, he added: "And judging from the samples that Professor Xu sent us last year, they have indeed done it. At least in the field of high-temperature superconducting materials, he is ahead of us."
"It's unbelievable," Bruce Valk said, shaking his head.
Claire Bryan smiled and said: "It's actually not bad."
Hearing this, Bruce Valk cast a puzzled look.
Claire Bryan picked up the glass in his hand and took a sip of champagne, and then said: "If you have understood the results and achievements of Professor Xu, you will find that it is a miracle for other people.
, to him, it’s nothing but normal.”
"Nobel Prize, Fields Medal, two seven millennium problems, the solution to nuclear waste, artificial SEI film..."
"If any of these results were applied to other people, even the top scientists would need a lifetime of research, but if they were applied to him, they seemed to be ordinary."
"Throughout the entire history of human civilization, there are only a handful of people who can achieve his level of achievement."
"Like Einstein, Newton, Maxwell and a very few other people, his research and results can change the world."
Bruce Valk smacked his lips and said, "You think so highly of him."
Claire Bryan smiled and said: "This is not my evaluation, but the evaluation of him by the academic community."
After a pause, he added: "Actually, his real achievements are not in the field of materials. Materials are just the tip of his iceberg."

If it were given to other people in two months, it would be quite difficult to transform a laboratory product into an industrial product.
But for Xu Chuan, or for the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials that have been industrially produced, this is not difficult.
After Gao Hongming handed him the list of domestic qualified manufacturers last year, he selected suitable manufacturers for cooperative production.
It lasted more than two months, although there was a Chinese New Year in between, but it didn't affect anything.
For him, problems that can be solved with money are not problems.
As long as the overtime wages are sufficient, Chinese people are even willing to work around the clock pumping gasoline, let alone the Chinese New Year.
Although this sounds a bit funny, it is actually quite sad.
In China, it has almost become the norm for those capitalists to work for free, without overtime pay, and without paid days off; not to mention labor treaties, even the Geneva Convention is probably not comparable.
Of course, this kind of thing is impossible to happen in Xu Chuan's hands, but it is still possible to use attractive enough overtime wages and compensated leave to attract workers to stay and work during the Chinese New Year to build industrial lines for the production of superconducting materials.
After confirming the cooperation, Western Superconducting Materials Technology Co., Ltd. quickly began the transformation of the production line originally used to produce copper oxide-based superconducting materials.
Although the main assembly line has not yet been renovated, one of the small single production lines has completed the deployment of equipment and related procedures in accordance with the industrial production technology given by Xu Chuan.
Although the industrial zone is on the Jinghe River side of Chang'an, this is not a big deal given the developed domestic transportation.
...
The next day, Xu Chuan and Fan Pengyue rushed to Chang'an with a team of engineers from the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics. In the Chang'an Jinghe Industrial Park, the production plant of the Western Superconducting Group is located.
The general manager of the Western Superconducting Group who is responsible for superconducting materials personally waited with his team to greet him at the high-speed rail station.
The group of people exchanged pleasantries at the high-speed rail station and headed straight to Jinghe Industrial Park without wasting time.
Like everyone else, this is Xu Chuan's first time here, and his first time seeing the production base of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials.
The factory that was originally neatly planned and used to produce low-temperature copper oxide superconducting materials now looks a bit messy.
Workers wearing safety helmets were busy going back and forth in the factory, and the parts and equipment on the ground showed that it was not yet completed.
Du Yingrui, general manager of Western Superconducting Group, introduced with a smile: "Academician Xu, this is the main production line for high-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials. According to your requirements, processing is currently being carried out in three shifts around the clock.
Urgent construction.”
"According to the current progress, it is predicted that the transformation will be completed and construction will begin around March 5th. The daily output capacity at full load is about 2.5 tons..."
Xu Chuan listened to Du Yingrui's introduction and his eyes fell on the factory building under construction.
The output of 2.5 tons can be said to be extremely low in the ordinary materials industry, but when it comes to the field of high-temperature superconducting materials, this value is already considered good.
For example, the BI series high-temperature superconducting materials that have been industrialized to a small extent in Sakura Country have an annual output value of only about 1,500 tons.
The daily output value is 2.5 tons, and the annual output can reach more than 900 tons. Although the quantity is not large, it is more than enough to meet the order demand there and the demand of Qixia's controllable nuclear fusion project.
As for the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, since they require technology exchange, it is impossible for them to provide high-temperature superconducting materials for free.
"What about that small single production line? Can it be produced now? Take us there to see it." After visiting the transformation of the main production line, Xu Chuan looked up and asked.
Hearing this, Du Yingrui nodded quickly and said: "Of course, it is in production now, please follow me."
Following Du Yingrui, the group walked towards the small pilot production line.
In another slightly smaller factory building, there is a huge production equipment.
From the appearance point of view, this equipment looks a bit different from conventional equipment. It is a bit like a starfish, with the core area in the middle, and the surrounding assembly lines are like starfish legs, lying on the seabed.
From the various parts of this equipment, it is obvious that it was pieced together by dismantling different equipment.
If no one introduced it, I'm afraid no one would think that this strange-looking equipment is a device that can industrially produce superconducting materials.
Of course, it doesn't matter if the device looks ugly or weird.
This is just a pilot equipment, it is enough that it can realize the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials.
In the field of materials, appearance can never compare to practicality.
For Xu Chuan and the team of engineers at the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics, no one cares about its appearance, only whether it can produce high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials.
...
After Du Yingrui obtained permission, the group changed into protective clothing, put on masks and goggles and entered the factory.
The workshop that produces high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is a standard level 10 sterile workshop.
A workshop of this level is sufficient for the production and manufacturing of most medicines, precision semiconductors, biological sterility and other materials.
Although theoretically speaking, the production of copper-carbon-silver superconducting materials does not require such a high-level workshop, a thousand-level workshop is enough.
After all, this material is not a fragile product that will be contaminated when exposed to air, but when Western Superconducting Group built the test assembly line, it still followed top-level sterile workshop standards.
After receiving permission, several engineers and materials researchers from the Planck Institute of Plasma Physics spread out and looked around this strange-looking device.
With suspicion, contempt, and a hint of curiosity, Bruce Valk carefully looked at the equipment in front of him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! To be honest, based on imagination alone, even though he is a professional materials researcher, he has been to factories producing various materials many times and has seen countless Material production equipment, it is impossible to imagine how the equipment in front of me can process ultra-fine materials at the nanometer level.
After all, the structure of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials is nanoscale.
Although the nanometer level is not high, reaching the nanometer level means that technological breakthroughs have reached the world's top level. To achieve such fine-level processing, the requirements for equipment are still quite high.
And the thing in front of him seemed weirder and weirder the more he looked at it.
However, the equipment that was constantly producing high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials did not hesitate to shatter the suspicion and contempt in his heart.
At least, from the current perspective, it can indeed produce high-temperature superconducting materials.
On the other hand, Claire Bryan, who was on the sidelines, after observing the operation of the equipment, stood next to Xu Chuan and asked: "Are these all required for the production of high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials?"
Xu Chuan smiled and shook his head, saying: "No, some basic materials are processed and synthesized elsewhere. But this equipment is the core. It can synthesize the processed basic materials into superconducting materials and shape them into
The shapes you need, such as lines, plates, circles, etc."
After a pause, he added: "Of course, there are not many shapes that this equipment can process. After all, it is only experimental. The production line we just saw outside that is still under construction can almost meet most shapes.
It’s in demand.”
On the other side, after viewing the equipment, Bruce Valk asked with a skeptical tone: "Can it really produce excellent high-temperature superconducting materials that meet standards?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan smiled calmly and said, "If you don't believe it, you can take a part of the newly processed material and test it to see if it can meet your needs."
"This is necessary, I will ask for it even if you don't tell me!"
With the last stubborn suspicion, Bruce Walker said seriously.
Xu Chuan glanced at him and said nonchalantly: "If you know how, you can do the experiment yourself to verify it."
