"Boss, can we start the experiment now?" Fang Fang asked eagerly.
Huang Haojie nodded.
"All departments are ready to conduct experiments immediately."
"The power sector is ready."
""The heads of various departments replied that there was no problem.
Soon four pieces of high-purity iron-silver alloy were placed into the reactor by an industrial robot.
"Start!" Fang Fang ordered.
Various departments in the control room immediately became busy.
Amidst the humming and low humming, X-rays invisible to the naked eye intensively bombarded the iron-silver alloy, and the temperature, magnetic field, air pressure, etc. in the reactor also began to enter the specified parameters.
Huang Junjie rested his chin on his hands and sat in the middle of the control room, silently watching the surveillance screen.
He hopes that a practical room-temperature superconductor can be obtained this time! He hopes that this experiment can be successful.
The equation on the side also became a little nervous.
After all, they don’t know whether they can break through the bottleneck of 14,000 hours this time.
I hope it won’t fail like before! Fang Fang prayed.
Time passed minute by minute.
X-rays, as before, worked hard to destroy the iron-silver alloy plate. Under certain conditions such as temperature, magnetic field, and pressure, the iron-silver alloy began to mutate silently.
If someone uses an electron microscope to observe the iron-silver alloy plate at this moment, they will find that the iron atoms and silver atoms slowly become orderly, presenting a state with a different kind of beauty.
Of course, an electron microscope or the like cannot be installed in the reactor.
Even some electronic components such as temperature sensors must be replaced at regular intervals because the ionizing radiation of x-rays will gradually corrode these electronic components.
Even though Equation and they have tried every means to prevent radiation, electronic components at such close range are definitely not completely protected.
The closer to the core area of the X laser, the shorter the service life of electronic components. For example, the temperature sensor in the reactor must be replaced every 2.4 days on average.
However, both Huang Haojie and Fang Fang know that these losses are what they must endure. Once practical room temperature superconductors are successfully developed, they will reap the sweetest fruits for the price they paid.
In the control room, the reaction time of the reactor has reached 5 hours and 21 minutes.
"Reactor No. 3, the experiment is over."
"Take out the sample immediately." Fang Fang nervously ordered.
The staff of the robot team took out the samples from the No. 3 reactor step by step.
Fang Fang looked at the monitor and saw that the sample had been sent into the testing room by an industrial robot.
The inspectors are testing the samples nervously and orderly.
Everyone who was also waiting for the results to be processed was also a little nervous, fearing that bad news would come from the testing room.
"Boss, can it be done this time?" Fang Fang asked in a low voice, feeling uncertain.
"Do your best and obey fate." Huang Junjie closed his eyes and rested.
Last night he received another torrent of memories from parallel time and space, and now his whole body is not feeling well.
Seeing the boss's haggard look, Fang Fang didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The tense time is ticking away minute by minute. As the time for the results to come out gets closer and closer, the atmosphere in the control room becomes more and more depressing and dull.
A tester rushed in panting and shouted excitedly: "Hoo! Good news!"
The three steps of the equation were followed by two steps, and he quickly grabbed the test report and looked through it. When he saw the superconducting state maintenance time on the test report, he suddenly trembled with excitement.
"Chief Engineer Fang, don't watch this alone."
"That's right. Say it and make everyone happy too."
"Haha, Huangtian has paid off and the maintenance time has reached 37,000 hours! 37,000 hours!" he shouted very excitedly.
"Oh oh oh"
"Very good."
"Success!"
"Ha ha"
Everyone in the control room jumped up and shouted excitedly, and some people were even so excited that they burst into tears.
Huang Junjie weakly took the test report and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, it is the purity of the iron-silver alloy that affects the maintenance time of the superconducting state.
37,000 hours, equivalent to about 1,500 days, can maintain the superconducting state for more than four years, which is already practical.
"equation!"
"Boss!" Fang Fang quickly suppressed his excitement.
"Now that room temperature superconductors are practical, you can improve them while producing them. There are two directions. One is to continue to purify the iron-silver alloy, and the other is to increase the power of the x-ray laser." Huang Haojie ordered.
"Okay, boss."
Huang Junjie turned around and told Su Langwen beside him: "Langwen! I have decided to set up Pulsar Company, and you will be the president. This company is affiliated with Galaxy Group."
"Thank you boss!" Su Langwen was very excited.
"Next, you contact Neutron Star Company and ask them to continue to purify iron-silver alloy. The normal temperature superconductor production of this X-ray base may not be enough. You must plan the expansion and reserve a batch of silver." Huang Haojie thought for a while and ordered again.
road.
Su Langwen immediately knew what Huang Haojie meant. After all, once the news of Galaxy Technology's successful development of room temperature superconductors breaks out, silver, an important raw material for room temperature superconductors, will inevitably rise.
Of course, Galaxy Technology will purchase a large amount of silver and continue to reserve it before the current skyrocketing price of silver.
Huang Haojie suddenly frowned: "Longman, you don't want to buy silver anymore. I'll let Mars Group do it."
Su Langwen was a little confused, but he quickly came to his senses.
It really cannot be acquired by Pulsar Company or Neutron Star Company, otherwise people will definitely doubt the motives of Galaxy Technology.
But if the Mars Group acquires it, it can build the plank road openly and use the warehouse secretly.
Labour day.
A holiday for working people.
Huang Haojie is also working.
Inside the conference room on the top floor of Galaxy Technology 2015 Building.
Wang Bosi, President of Galaxy Group, Zhang Rujing, President of Galaxy Semiconductor, and Huang Yongdong, President of Neutron Star Company, Du Wei, President of Star Chart Company.
And Su Langwen, president of the newly established Pulsar Company.
"Everyone, room temperature superconductor has been successful!" Huang Junjie smiled and clicked on the multimedia.
Although Wang Bosi, Zhang Rujing and others knew more or less that Huang Haojie had been developing new materials at the X-ray base for more than a month.
But they didn't expect it to be a room-temperature superconductor.
"Boss, is this room temperature superconductor already practical?" Zhang Rujing asked excitedly.
Huang Haojie clicked on the introduction to room temperature superconductors in the multimedia.
Zhang Rujing raised his glasses and looked carefully.
Several other presidents are also paying attention.
"It has been able to maintain a superconducting state at room temperature for 37,000 hours, which is equivalent to more than four years. It is indeed practical." Wang Bosi said looking at the data above.
"If the chip circuit material is replaced with a room-temperature superconductor, it means that the unit energy consumption will be reduced by less than one percent, and the heat dissipation problem will also be solved." Zhang Rujing said with excitement and breathlessness.
"Not only that, if normal temperature superconductors are used to transmit electricity, the waste during the transmission process will be greatly reduced." Huang Yongdong also mentioned the application of power transmission.
At present, the total loss of the domestic power grid is 6 to 7, and the loss of the rural low-voltage power grid can reach more than 20.
Consider that the country's total annual power generation is more than 6 trillion kilowatt-hours. What is 6 to 7? 360 billion to 420 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity are wasted.
