After Fang Hong ordered the company to fine-tune its strategy in the global commodity trading market, it turned to the layout of cutting-edge technology. He looked at Tian Jiayi and said: "The company will increase its investment in the research and development of room temperature superconducting materials in terms of new material applications.
Establish a national-level superconducting materials research institute in Xincheng and recruit the top scholars in this field."
After hearing this, Tian Jiayi asked: "How much is the expected investment?"
The beautiful assistant doesn’t ask him why now, because he can always make the right decision. To put it another way, with his terrifying ability to make money, there is a lot of money that makes him “lost”. Anyway, he makes money at a much faster rate.
Because of the speed at which he "lost his fortune".
Fang Hong thought for a while and said: "Let's start with a budget of 3 billion, and continue to invest more later. Room temperature superconductivity is not a new thing. It has been studied in the last century, but we must continue to increase investment."
."
Having said this, Fang Hong looked at the beautiful assistant and smiled: "The RDA company in the movie "Avatar", why do you think they have to go to war with the Na'vi? Isn't it just for the room-temperature superconducting ore on Pandora?
In short, if new materials like room-temperature superconductivity can be developed, mankind’s fourth industrial revolution will inevitably come, which can change the structure of almost all existing industries of mankind.”
Superconducting materials, simply put, are super conductive and have zero resistance.
For superconducting materials, the current itself is the movement process of electrons. The electrons hit atoms during the movement, so the material will heat up, and part of the electrical energy will be converted into heat.
The superconducting state will cause the material to have zero resistance, which means that electrons at the microscopic scale are completely unblocked when moving.
When there is no resistance, the material will not heat up, and the material will not heat up, so of course there is no energy loss.
Therefore, compared with oil and natural gas, electricity is still not worry-free in the final analysis.
For room temperature superconducting materials, the application range is too broad, and Fang Hong is determined to pursue this new material. Under normal circumstances, it may not be possible to develop it in the next ten to twenty years.
The traffic pressure in megacities will disappear in an instant, because the birth of room-temperature superconducting materials can transform the city's transportation network from a flat surface to a three-dimensional transportation network.
Room-temperature superconducting materials can also be used in some existing electronic devices, such as mobile phones, computers, cars and other devices currently known to mankind that can use electricity. The power will be ridiculously large, but the energy consumption will be amazingly small.
Without a resistor, there is no heat dissipation requirement, and the phone will not get hot. There is no need for heat dissipation, which means that not much energy is wasted.
In this way, all electrical equipment not only does not require large batteries, but can also achieve ultra-long battery life and ultra-high power output.
For example, if the ground traffic pressure cannot be sustained, then a transportation network should be established at a height of 50 meters above the ground. If that is not enough, then another plane transportation network should be planned at a height of 100 meters, and so on.
With room temperature superconducting materials, there is great potential for military electromagnetic weapon systems. Electromagnetic rifles and electromagnetic guns, whether shipborne electromagnetic guns, vehicle-mounted electromagnetic guns or even fighter planes, can be equipped with electromagnetic guns. The superconducting energy storage revolution brought about by room temperature superconducting materials
, resulting in an unprecedented improvement in energy utilization.
Fang Hong thought about saving up a wave of achievement points, then selecting a top scholar in the field, and then using prop cards to maximize the scholar's research and development capabilities. The probability of developing room temperature superconducting materials would definitely increase significantly.
It can be seen that once the new material of room temperature superconductivity is realized, it will inevitably fast-forward the entire human race to the fourth industrial revolution. The profound changes it will bring to human civilization may be greater than those of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum computers, etc.
The representative technologies of the fourth industrial revolution are yet to come.
This is because electricity-using equipment cannot be transported over long distances, and the loss is too great. The farther the transmission distance, the more energy is lost in the process.
but……
The phenomenon of superconductivity can not only achieve levitation, but also suspension. As long as there are no problems with the superconducting material itself, you can go to the sky if you want.
Current superconducting materials need to be significantly cooled to minus one to two hundred degrees Celsius under normal atmospheric pressure to achieve superconductivity. It is obviously not possible to popularize them in large areas.
Therefore, power plants are generally built nearby. Regardless of the good wind power and photovoltaic power plants in the northwest, large power consumers in coastal cities in the east are too far away to use them, so they can only use the surrounding thermal power.
If superconducting materials can achieve room temperature superconductivity, the new energy industry will first usher in unprecedented development. New energy is electricity, but it has not been popularized. Even after Fang Hong's previous life ten years ago, the new energy industry developed unprecedentedly.
Nor can it be fully popularized.
And whether it is electronic equipment, cars or even houses in the future, it is not uncommon for them to float in the sky. The mountains suspended in the sky in the "Avatar" movie are the best representation.
If the vehicles originally concentrated on one plane, that is, the ground, are dispersed at different heights, there will never be a traffic jam even in a metropolis with a population of more than 100 million.
Just like the future cities in science fiction movies are brought into reality, vehicles traveling at different city heights will make such science fiction scenes a reality.
If cheating occurs, the situation may be very different.
But if there are room temperature superconducting materials, there will be no energy loss in power transmission using this material. Photovoltaic power generated in the African Sahara Desert can be transmitted to new cities, and global power grids can be easily connected.
Even if controllable nuclear fusion is not achieved, superconducting energy storage in generators made of superconducting materials will greatly improve the efficiency of the power system.
If a battery of the same size in a smartphone can now last 20 hours, if it is replaced with room temperature superconducting material and the heat loss is saved, the battery life may be doubled.
The prospects of this new material are worth the investment.
There is no doubt that the new energy automobile industry will also usher in earth-shaking changes due to room temperature superconductivity, and fuel vehicles will completely withdraw from the stage of history.
With room-temperature superconducting materials, the research on controllable fusion is also expected to take a big step forward, and the realization of controllable nuclear fusion will make it much easier for humans to go out of the earth and into deep space, whether it is building a larger space station or on the moon or even
Establishing a permanent human base on Mars is no longer out of reach.
Room-temperature superconductivity means that the material basically achieves zero resistance under greenhouse conditions.
However, it is precisely because this new material has such a great impact on all mankind that even if it is developed in a short time, it cannot be made public easily, because the impact on all walks of life is so great that it will trigger a major reshuffle in countless industries, and
This influence is global.
There is no doubt that Europe and the United States will inevitably launch a comprehensive and crazy crackdown, so the timing of popularization is also critical.
But of course, the sooner it can be developed, the better. The initiative is in one's own hands. Once it is developed, it can be applied in the military field first. The electromagnetic weapon system is the best carrier.
