From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

For a project at the tens of billions level, the preparatory work in the early stage is very complicated, and it will also be a long-term work.

In addition to certain large institutions, some experimental groups have also joined in, for example, the computing group of Xihai University, which cooperates with the Superconducting Materials Research Center.

The Computing Group, also known as the "Algebraic Geometry Computing Group", was originally established by Xihai University employing a large number of algebraic geometry experts.

Now the person in charge of the computing group has become Zhang He.

Zhang He is an excellent doctor who graduated from Capital University. After joining the computing group, he quickly emerged and was promoted to the team leader and later to the director position.

The calculation group is just a mathematics research group, which belongs to the School of Science of Xihai University, but the semi-topological element calculation work they have done is very important, and has accumulated a solid data foundation for the element work calculation of the superconducting semi-topological theory.

Material research and development relies on basic theories, experience, past data, etc., and luck is also an indispensable factor.

The computing group provides basic theoretical data support, which is of great help to the research and development work.

Wang Hao is the applicant of the project, but other people are responsible for most of the project-related matters, and his focus is still on research and development.

He leads the research and development of first-order iron superconducting materials, which also requires basic support and other people to provide advice and support. A large number of professional personnel will help with calculations and put forward data-based opinions, which will also greatly speed up the research and development.

For the tens of billions of projects, most of the funds will be invested in the research and development of materials and the detection of anti-gravity characteristics.

One of them is very expensive, which is the laboratory manufacture of new materials. After the materials are developed, they must be manufactured to a certain extent before they can be tested for anti-gravity characteristics. However, the manufacture of new materials must not be industrialized, and can only be carried out in laboratories. manufacture.

It is impossible for the superconducting material research center to devote too much energy to the manufacture of the developed materials, and part of the work will be allocated.

That's why other experimental institutions got involved.

Whenever a new material is researched and needs to be manufactured, part of the process will be assigned to other experimental institutions.

The first is the manufacturing materials, which are all made in the laboratory, and then the layout design is adjusted. If both materials are superconducting, it is easy to do.

After the manufacture of new materials is completed, the anti-gravity characteristics are tested.

There are two ways to detect the anti-gravity characteristics, one is to carry out the conventional detection of anti-gravity characteristics, and the other is to carry out the detection of the characteristics of critical superconductivity.

The high-pressure mixed material is selected for the strong annihilation force field because the high-pressure mixed material can stimulate antigravity properties before reaching a superconducting state.

No metallic superconducting material has shown the same properties before.

After the appearance of first-order iron, the situation is different. Some superconducting materials made of first-order iron can excite anti-gravity fields when they do not reach the superconducting state.

This is also the direct reason why first-order iron materials are expected to replace high-pressure hybrid materials.

In fact, what Wang Hao most wants to do is a comparative experiment, that is, to make the same iron compound, the difference is only conventional iron and first-order iron, and then compare the antigravity and superconducting properties of the two compounds.

Unfortunately, conventional iron cannot induce an antigravity field before reaching a superconducting state.

So the comparison can only be the comparison of the superconducting state.

This has nothing to do with the strong annihilation field.

In the process of continuous research, the experimental team also discovered a lithium element compound that exhibited superconducting antigravity properties, but the strength of the excited antigravity field was very low.

"Less than 0.1 percent."

"We can only see very weak data, and at first we thought it was an error." Sheng Hailiang said in his report.

He Yi analyzed, "This may be related to the strong metal activity of lithium."

"possible."

Wang Hao made a comment.

He Yi's statement covers most of the possibilities.

Most highly active compounds and elements exhibit poorer antigravity properties, which may be related to the semi-topological structure.

If the activity is strong, the semi-topological structure will be unstable and easily destroyed.

on the contrary.

When an element or compound is in a stable state, the superconducting critical temperature may be lower, but the corresponding antigravity properties will be higher.

This is not a theorem, but a summary of most situations, because there are many reasons that affect the superconducting critical temperature and anti-gravity characteristics, and we cannot judge only from the activity.

After continuous experiments, it can be determined that the specificity of the first-order iron affects the stability of the semi-topological structure.

This also leads to superconducting materials containing first-order iron, the critical problem is relatively higher, and the anti-gravity properties exhibited are low.

At the same time, there are several first-order iron materials that can induce antigravity properties before reaching the superconducting state.

...

A lot of research, a lot of experiments, a lot of results.

In just two months, the Superconducting Materials Research Center has come up with six first-order iron superconducting materials, among which the highest critical temperature data is 231K (-42.15°C), which is considered to be very important when it is researched. s material.

Unfortunately, materials with a high critical temperature do not have anti-gravity properties.

In addition, four materials have anti-gravity properties, and two can excite anti-gravity fields before reaching a superconducting state.

Among them, the highest field strength is 0.93 (7%).

"It's still too low, only 7%, and it was achieved at a temperature close to superconductivity." Wang Hao shook his head with a sigh.

Although I know that research is not easy, but after two months, it is really disappointing to come up with such a tasteless result.

Wang Hao analyzed, "It seems that the specificity of the first-order iron has a greater influence than expected. Judging from the current experimental data, the maximum may not exceed 20%."

"But the theory is still hard to say."

"We are not yet able to determine the impact data of the specificity of the first-order iron through calculation..."

After researching this, many people are a little bit lost.

Although the project has only just started, many people have long been accustomed to the feeling of rapid breakthroughs in research, especially under the leadership of Wang Hao, they quickly researched several superconducting materials with anti-gravity properties, but unfortunately the test results of the properties were not good. As you wish.

soon.

Another month passed.

On this day, Wang Hao was still at the Superconducting Materials Research Center, discussing the development of new materials with others, but suddenly received a message from Xia Guobin, saying that they had a new discovery of materials.

He immediately went to Navitas Labs.

Xia Guobin had been waiting at the door for a long time. He welcomed Wang Hao in enthusiastically, and talked about the new discovery of the experiment, "The first-order ferroalloy sent over a month ago, we melted the material and then cooled it to make a thin sheet. Observation with the instrument and found that this material may have a spherical crystal structure at a viewing angle of 0.1 microns."

"oh?"

Wang Hao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked for details.

Xia Guobin explained professionally at the beginning. Their experimental process was very complicated. Generally speaking, it was to make the alloy material present a special state, so that it could be observed at a viewing angle of 0.1 micron.

The final conclusion is not observed, but inferred from experimental data.

He handed over the data to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao took a brief look, but didn't pay much attention to the result.

He took a deep breath and thought of a very important question, "If in the process of material manufacturing, if we arrange as small as possible in accordance with the requirements of the anti-gravity field of the structure, will it greatly improve the manufactured material?" The strength of the anti-gravity field?"

"This may be an opportunity for a technological leap forward!"

"We still need to discuss it with others..."

His idea is simple.

It turns out that the layout of the underlying material for creating the anti-gravity field is to shape the material into various shapes to maximize the superimposed effect of the whole in a single direction.

The semi-topological structure inside the material, which stimulates the anti-gravity effect in the conductive state, is not in a single direction, but very, very complicated.

Like, for example, the scattering of light.

If the light hits a rough cut surface, the transfer direction will be very confusing.

Now to create an anti-gravity field is to adjust the rough cut surface and try to align the smoother position with the light source to achieve the effect of fixing the direction of light propagation.

How about making the rough cut surface as smooth as possible?

In other words, in the process of making materials, instead of making a whole, the material becomes a combination of many tiny structures...

"It must work!"

The more Wang Hao thought about it, the more confident he became.

He went to the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, gathered all the core researchers for a meeting, and invited Xia Guobin to explain the experimental results.

Xia Guobin suddenly felt very excited.

He also didn't expect that the new experimental discovery would get so much attention from Wang Hao, and he had to go to the meeting of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center to explain it.

That's the anti-gravity behavior research center!

If it were the physics laboratory ten years ago, he would not be fluctuating at all. Times have changed too fast. The physics laboratory that used to be the focus of attention from all over the world. Even he is not qualified to touch the research done.

Now……

At least you can go in and take a look around.

Then, he met He Yi.

He Yi used to be an ordinary physics professor. Xia Guobin never thought that one day, He Yi would stand so much higher than him, become the top experimental physicist, and won the Nobel Prize in Physics .

"Oh~~"

So many complicated emotions did not affect Xia Guobin's enthusiasm, "Professor He, long time no see!"

He went over to shake hands with He Yi.

Although both of them are in Xihai University, He Yi has to take care of the Antigravity Behavior Research Center and the Annihilation Force Field Experimental Group, and is not engaged in teaching work in the university, so he has few opportunities to meet other faculty members.

He Yi also shook hands with Xia Guobin, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while." He had just finished speaking, and before he had time to exchange greetings, someone came over from beside him.

He started to get busy, and continued to order, "Notify the Condensed Matter Physics Center and let them cooperate with the new material manufacturing..."

"Next month, first-order lithium research will be carried out. By the way, do you have the report from the Institute of Materials Science, Academy of Sciences?"

"Tomorrow's experiment also needs to be prepared..."

"We're going to have a meeting in a while. Didn't you see that Professor Xia is here? Tell them to hurry up and don't waste Academician Wang's precious time!"

Xia Guobin stood by and listened in a daze. He asked, "Does the Institute of Materials Science and the Center for Condensed Matter Physics of the Academy of Sciences participate in this project?"

"yes."

He Yi said, "Many organizations are involved." He said distressedly, "I'm in charge of the work in this area. I'm really busy. If they cooperate, I can't finish the assignment work, but also manage the experiments... "

"well!"

He said with a long sigh.

"The project is so huge?" Xia Guobin suddenly felt something was wrong, and asked curiously, "How much is your project?"

After he finished speaking, he added, "If it involves secrecy, don't say it."

He Yi shook his head and said, "There is nothing to keep secret. You can go to other institutions to inquire and you will know that 10 billion is a long-term project."

"How many?"

Xia Guobin was stunned.

"Ten billion?" He Yi wondered, "What's the matter? Don't you have 20 million funds? I discussed it with Academician Wang. Is the fund enough?"

"..."

Xia Guobin grinned in embarrassment, and a pain flowed through his heart. He asked, "So, the chance for us is 20 million?"

"yes."

He Yi seemed to have noticed something, and said in a different tone, "But it still depends on the workload. The plan is 20 million, but Professor Xia, you know, it's hard to say about the funding... it still depends on the amount of work. If you don't have enough funds, you can submit an application later..."

"But let's talk about it first. When you submit an application later, you must give a clear financial statement, and..."

He Yi said a lot in a row.

Xia Guobin's heart was bleeding when he heard it. Of course he knew that subsequent applications would also be approved for funds, but it would be very difficult to apply for funds in the future.

If the funds are obtained at the beginning, the degree of freedom in the use of funds is very high, and the people in the research institute can be given a lot of bonuses for a small amount.

Now there are only 4 million funds, and they are just coolies for scientific research.

"Crack~crack~"

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and couldn't help but step aside, and slapped himself hard twice.

...

The meeting officially begins.

Xia Guobin did not attend the meeting formally. He did not participate in the research. He just came to talk about the experimental results, and then left depressed.

Before leaving, he looked at Wang Hao sadly.

Wang Hao felt baffled.

However, he didn't take it seriously, so he followed the results of Navitas Lab and talked about his own thoughts, "I think we can start with material manufacturing."

"You have all listened to Professor Xia's experiment. They found that the alloy section is composed of small spheres. If we use the smallest unit that technology can support to manufacture small material particles one by one, and then put them together ..."

"Then, what will happen if we use this to carry out anti-gravity experiments?"

The meeting room fell silent.

Everyone thought about the method Wang Hao said, and thought it made sense after careful consideration, but there must be doubts.

Zhang Shiqiang, a material expert in the group, asked directly, "How to make small particles one by one, how to glue them together?"

"If they are only put together by external pressure, the structure of small particles will be destroyed, and many gaps will definitely appear."

"other methods……"

"It will require high material manufacturing technology..."

Others also discussed.

"Perhaps it would be possible to place a main line in the center, with the smaller particles embedded in the main line, connected all the way?"

"It doesn't make sense to do that."

"A magnetic field can also be used to arrange the small particles naturally and orderly, and then fix the periphery..."

"It doesn't have to be cut horizontally, but can also be cut vertically, making the material into threads with small particles, and then winding them together in an orderly manner..."

"..."
