From Almighty Scholar to Chief Scientist

Chapter 334 All technologies will be eclipsed!

If it is bent, it means that this thing can be used as a wire.

He watched the originally straight black columnar object bend with force, and it would be a lie to say that Zhao Sheng was not excited.

After all, he was "tricked" by Lin Xiao to come up with this high-temperature superconductor that can be bent.

Among the high-temperature superconductors discovered in the current scientific community, that is, superconductors with a critical superconducting temperature above 77K, they are basically copper oxides, which can also be called cuprates, and these things are relatively brittle and have poor toughness. .

If the thing they built today can really bend, hey, among other things, it can make a lot of money.

Oh, this thing belongs to Lin Xiao, and if he really makes money, it has nothing to do with him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng immediately lost his mind. Of course, he became happy again in his heart. Even if making money has nothing to do with him, he can get some related awards if he doesn't talk about it in the future.

Just for the National Natural Science Award, the first prize must be won.

Of course, the premise is that the superconducting critical temperature of this thing has really reached above 77K.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw the two people who had gone to get liquid nitrogen back and shouted: "Liquid nitrogen is here!"

"Okay, let's do the experiment!"

Zhao Sheng couldn't wait any longer, then turned his head to look at Lin Xiao again, and said, "I said, why aren't you excited at all?"

"Uh……"

Lin Xiao barely showed a slightly excited expression on his face.

It’s just that it was a bit too reluctant, so Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but rolled his eyes: “Forget it, I don’t ask you, I guess you don’t care about this kind of high-temperature superconductor, unless it’s a room-temperature superconductor that can excite you, right?”

Lin Xiao touched his nose, probably?

After all, after witnessing this room-temperature superconductor before, all the excitement he should have done has already been exhausted.

I just don't know what kind of expressions these people will have on their faces when they watch the temperature gradually return to normal temperature, and this thing that can still maintain a superconducting state.

He suddenly had some expectations.

So soon, the test device was completed, which is actually not complicated. Anyway, it is just a temperature sensor, which is directly attached to one of the black solids, and then tested by using the Meissner effect. This is the easiest way.

Afterwards, they poured liquid nitrogen into it, and immediately, the number on the indicator meter connected to the sensor began to drop rapidly, reaching about 77K.

Then, put a small magnet on it, and suddenly, the small magnet floated up.

Such a miraculous scene, in ancient times, was at least a celestial art.

"it is good!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng immediately shouted, and then clapped his hands.

The others immediately applauded.

This thing really meets the requirements of high-temperature superconductors!

This is undoubtedly an extremely exciting thing for them.

why?
Because liquid nitrogen is cheap!
The price of liquid helium is about 200 yuan a liter, while the price of liquid nitrogen can be as low as 6 or 7 yuan a liter.

After all, helium is a rare gas, but nitrogen can be seen everywhere. You must know that 78% of the earth's air is nitrogen!

So the price of preparing nitrogen is very cheap.

Since the brand-new superconductor they created can be bent, it obviously has the value of large-scale use, such as superconducting maglev trains. In fact, the maglev trains in Shanghai use yttrium-barium-copper-oxide superconductors.

In addition to this point, this thing can also be used for power generation, that is, superconducting power generation. YBCO can be used to arrange the tracks of maglev trains because the tracks are very long and do not need to be very curved, but if it is for power generation , because it needs to be wound into a coil, the very brittle yttrium barium copper oxide obviously cannot be used, and their new superconductor can play a role.

Or, it can even be used for superconducting power transmission. Of course, it is only used in areas with high power consumption. Using the lossless nature of superconducting power transmission can greatly reduce the power load.

and also……

Zhao Sheng and the others thought more and more, and even thought of superconducting electromagnetic guns.

And Lin Xiao knew what these people were thinking when he saw their expressions as if they were in a reverie.

He shook his head, still too young.

In this way, until a period of time passed, all the liquid nitrogen poured out volatilized, and the temperature of this new type of superconductor also began to rise.

77K, 80K, 85K...

Suddenly, someone noticed the gradually rising temperature, and immediately exclaimed: "90K!"

Everyone looked over immediately, all showing surprised expressions.

The temperature has risen to 90K!
And the Meissner effect still exists, the small magnet is still floating on it, and it is constantly rolling.

"Damn! How is this possible?!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng opened his mouth wide. He has reached 90K, and he can still maintain a superconducting state?
Then he couldn't help looking at Lin Xiao, and said, "Director Lin, you have created another history!"

Lin Xiao shrugged, looking indifferent.

And seeing him like this, Zhao Sheng was even more puzzled, it was all like this, why didn't Lin Xiao feel excited at all?
However, at this time, someone next to him exclaimed: "100K!"

Zhao Sheng's eyes widened immediately, and he immediately turned his head to look at the indicator. The temperature had indeed reached 100K, but...the Meissner effect still exists!

This means that the long black thing is still superconducting!
He turned his head to look at Lin Xiao again, and couldn't help exclaiming again: "Lin Xiao, what's going on?"

Lin Xiao spread his hands, "Don't ask me, just keep reading."

Zhao Sheng quickly looked again, and the temperature was still rising!

110K...120K...

Zhao Sheng was even more shocked, and turned his head to look at Lin Xiao in an instant: "This time I want to say, you have created a miracle!"

Lin Xiao shrugged + spread his hands.

140K.

"You... well, you have created another miracle."

Lin Xiao waved his hand.

150K.

"You created...created...created a myth!"

Lin Xiao moved his wrist.

160K.

"Aren't you... a bit unreasonable?"

Lin Xiao moved his fingers.

200K.

"Damn it, why?"

Lin Xiao is indifferent
……

273.15K.

0 ℃！
"..."

Zhao Sheng, as well as everyone present, stared in front of them dumbfounded.

The little magnet, still floating above the "black bar," spun quietly, as if mocking them:

Why do you add liquid nitrogen to Grandpa?
You can superconduct without liquid nitrogen!

"Impossible...impossible...impossible..."

Zhao Sheng began to murmur, until finally, he rubbed his eyes, took another look at the thing carefully, and made sure that he was not mistaken.

Then, he immediately turned around and came in front of Lin Xiao, grabbed his shoulders and began to shake, "Tell me, it's not true!"

"This is too crazy! How is this possible! This needs to be a room temperature superconductor!"

At this time, Zhao Sheng no longer looked like an old professor in his 50s.

Of course, the other people in the room also reacted, their faces full of disbelief.

What the hell is a high-temperature superconductor?
This is not scientific at all!
Nima, why?
"Ahem, calm down, calm down."

Looking at Zhao Sheng's appearance, Lin Xiao felt refreshed, hey, he was almost surprised at the beginning.

Of course he was happy to see other people being so surprised now.

Then he patted Zhao Sheng's shoulder, put his hand off his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's all gone to this level, why can't it be a room temperature superconductor?"

Then, he took a hot air blower from the side, and blew hot air on the thing.

Under the hot wind, the temperature on the indicator rose from 273.15K to 300K very quickly, a temperature of nearly 27 degrees Celsius.

And the Meissner effect still exists.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng was stunned again.

"This……"

He felt that his scientific outlook was shattered, and it shattered all over the place.

Room-temperature superconductor, just like this?
Recalling just now, he seemed to be rejoicing that this was a high-temperature superconductor, but now, what the hell is this a room-temperature superconductor?
Suddenly he reacted, and immediately asked Lin Xiao excitedly: "You, did you already know? No wonder you didn't react at all just now!"

"Quickly, how do you know? Didn't you say that this is a high-temperature superconductor?"

"calm down."

Lin Xiao patted Zhao Sheng's shoulder and said with a smile, "Normal temperature superconductors are also high-temperature superconductors. I'm not wrong."

"You..." Zhao Sheng was speechless for a moment.

Room-temperature superconductors are indeed high-temperature superconductors, but the academic community generally equates high-temperature superconductors with cuprate superconductors. Who would have thought that a room-temperature superconductor would suddenly appear?
However, Lin Xiao didn't give Zhao Sheng a chance to continue talking, but turned his head to look at everyone in the audience, and said, "Okay, everyone, as you can see, we have created a room temperature superconductor."

"I also know that everyone is very excited, but room temperature superconductors are obviously strategic materials, and they must be strictly kept secret before they are decided to be announced, which can be equivalent to the top secret of the state."

"That is to say, our current project will be shelved indefinitely in the future, and someone should ask you to sign some higher-level non-disclosure agreements in the future."

"Of course, I am also aware of everyone's contributions to this project, so everyone will be rewarded in the future, so everyone can rest assured."

Obviously, what Lin Xiao said now was to inoculate them. After all, the matter is of great importance. Of course, those who can come to Dingguang Research Institute don't have to worry about their character.

Needless to say, Zhao Sheng, those interns and assistant researchers all nodded, with serious expressions on their faces, and wondered in their hearts, in this way, do they also count as people who know state secrets?

When Lin Xiao saw them nodding one after another, he smiled slightly, then took out his phone and called Ma Gaoliang.

"Old Ma, great news, come to my research institute quickly, I'll wait for you here."

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Ma Gaoliang to speak.

His operation directly hooked Ma Gaoliang's curiosity to the top, so he didn't bother to call back to ask for details, and went straight to the Dingguang Research Institute without stopping.

Then Lin Xiao naturally showed him the magic of room-temperature superconductors, and Ma Gaoliang immediately showed the same astonishment as Zhao Sheng and the others just now, even more so.

Because he knew that the emergence of room temperature superconductors would bring about great changes in the world pattern!
All the technologies of the past will be eclipsed by this dark thing!
