For the gift, start research and development of graphene batteries

Chapter 156 Can't use common sense to speculate

Laboratory of Institute of Nuclear Physics, Xia Ke Academy of Sciences.

"This is the raw material, let's test its superconductivity."

Cheng Ning said this to the researchers in the laboratory.

"Director Cheng, what is the superconductivity under what circumstances? Is there a specific range?"

the researcher asked.

Although the laboratory can measure the whole temperature band, it takes a long time to do so.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the laboratory mainly conducts in-depth research on the performance under specific temperature conditions. As for the temperature, it will occasionally take some points for testing.

"At room temperature."

Cheng Ning thought for a while, and then said like this.

"what?"

Although he heard Cheng Ning's words, the information Cheng Ning conveyed was so amazing that the researcher couldn't believe his ears.

Therefore, the researcher could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and asked Cheng Ning to repeat the order again.

"The test is carried out according to the room temperature environment, the lowest temperature is minus five degrees Celsius, and the test is carried out upwards."

Cheng Ning explained it carefully.

Hearing Cheng Ning's words, the researcher was a little dumbfounded.

"Director Cheng, what's the point of doing this?"

It's not that the researcher doesn't want to obey Cheng Ning's order, it's that this order is a bit unbelievable.

"It's a special material, it was tested as required, and I'm just here waiting to see the results."

Cheng Ning explained again carefully.

"All right!"

Hearing that Cheng Ning had made clear the order, the research institute carried out the test according to the order.

First, gather the metal from the material box together.

Although there are not many metals in the material box, it is more than enough for research.

It's just that many of these metals are metal scraps. The researchers are considering whether to use a furnace to fuse these metal scraps and then watch them react.

Immediately, the research institute collected these debris and put them in a furnace for heating.

The expected melting and integration of metal scraps did not occur, and each metal scrap was clearly separated.

The researcher touched it with something, and the hardness of the metal debris was a bit unexpected, and there was no trace of melting at all.

For this situation, the researcher just wants to say that to deal with this kind of hard stubble, you have to use fierce fire.

Immediately, the researchers increased the temperature in the melting furnace, but the temperature of the melting furnace was raised to the limit, and the metal debris did not mean to melt at all, but became harder and harder.

"Director Cheng, something is wrong, why is the debris inside getting harder?"

The researcher said to Cheng Ning while fiddling with the instrument in his hand.

Hearing what the researcher said, Cheng Ning grabbed the instrument and looked at the value.

Indeed, it is a bit strange, as expected, the hardness is getting higher and higher.

If this is the case, it means that no matter how high the temperature is, it will not melt.

If this is the case, will the hardness of the metal chips be greatly reduced when the temperature of the furnace is lowered?
Cheng Ning thought so.

"Reduce the temperature of the reaction furnace, and then use an instrument to observe the hardness of the metal shavings."

Cheng Ning said so.

"Down, down!"

With the drop of temperature, the hardness of metal shavings is also gradually reduced.

Slowly, the temperature of the reaction furnace has dropped to room temperature, and the hardness of the metal has also dropped to a very low level.

"Use a cryostat and keep lowering the temperature."

In this situation, Cheng Ning felt that he had grasped something, and said to the researcher.

In the low-temperature box, as the temperature of the environment gradually decreases, the hardness of the metal gradually decreases. When it reaches [-] degrees Celsius, the metal has become a semi-solid and semi-liquid state.At zero degrees Celsius, the metal is completely liquid.

Seeing this phenomenon, Cheng Ning was shocked.

This kind of metal is so strange, it completely subverts his cognition, and it is a bit opposite to the characteristics of common metals!

"Director, please take a look at this."

Another research institute passed the test data to Cheng Ning

Seeing the test data, Cheng Ning was stunned for a moment, and then there was an expression of disbelief on his face.

Therefore, according to the test data, this metal exhibits superconducting properties at [-] degrees Celsius.

Yes, it is fifteen degrees above zero, not fifteen degrees below zero.In this way, this alloy is really a so-called room temperature superconductor.

This discovery is so amazing that Cheng Ning can't believe it.

In order to prove his point of view, Cheng Ning asked the researchers to test it several times, and finally confirmed that this metal has really achieved the ability of room temperature superconductivity.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ning couldn't sit still anymore.

At this time, Cheng Ning remembered the words Jiang Ming said: The direction is wrong, no matter how you study it, it is wrong.

And Xia Ying's words, don't delay our young master's research progress.

At that time, Cheng Ning thought that the other party was joking, but now it seems that they are the ones who are joking.People are doing serious research, not what they think.

"Hey, Jiang Ming, where are you?"

Knowing that it was the superconducting alloy studied by Jiang Ming, Cheng Ning hurriedly called Jiang Ming. At this time, it was important to catch Jiang Ming.

Seeing Cheng Ning calling him, Jiang Ming was also a little curious.Didn't it mean that he was busy, why did he have time to contact him, but Jiang Ming still answered the call.

After all, it was Cheng Ning who gave Jiang Ming the data on nuclear physics, and it was Cheng Ning who asked someone to help Jiang Ming process the superconducting alloy, so Jiang Ming still had to accept it.

"Director Cheng, it's Jianglin."

Jiang Ming recalled.

"You asked Master Feng to process the alloy in the past two days, can you tell me what it is?"

Cheng Ning asked nervously.

"Oh, the alloy thing."

It turned out to be about the alloy. Didn't they not pay attention to this matter? Why did they care about it again? Could it be that Cheng Ning discovered something?
Jiang Ming couldn't help but think this way.

"This alloy is a superconducting alloy, a superconductor suitable for room temperature."

After thinking about it, Jiang Ming felt that there was nothing he couldn't say. After all, it was Long Zhiwei who introduced Cheng Ning to Jiang Ming, so there was no problem in terms of confidentiality.

"hiss!"

Hearing Jiang Ming's confirmation, Cheng Ning took a deep breath.

Good guy, it really is a room temperature superconductor. If that's the case, then the metal that Xia Ying used to smash the table that day couldn't be a large superconducting alloy, right?
Such a large piece of superconducting alloy must be able to do a lot of things.

No, what does this kid want to do, to refine such a large piece of superconducting alloy?
Cheng Ning couldn't help thinking about it.

"What are you guys doing to refine so many superconducting alloys?"

Cheng Ning said leisurely.

Indeed, a small sample of this epoch-making product would be a big deal. There is no one like Jiang Ming who weighs in kilograms.

Hearing Cheng Ning's words, Jiang Ming was also a little speechless. He thought to himself why you are so forgetful, isn't this the development of controllable nuclear fusion? If you don't let me participate, I will do it myself!
"Superconductors should have no other uses for the time being, right?"

Jiang Ming asked back.

Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Cheng Ning was speechless for a moment.

Cheng Ning couldn't answer this question.

Superconductors are generally used in strong magnetic fields to generate extremely strong magnetic fields in certain environments, and are used in applications such as magnetic levitation or computers, and are widely used.

For a while, Cheng Ning really couldn't guess what Jiang Ming was going to do.

"You don't mean to build a nuclear reactor, do you?"

Since he couldn't figure it out, Cheng Ning stopped guessing and joked.

Cheng Ning hopes to break the embarrassment between the two parties and open up the conversation between the two parties through this kind of joke.

"Um, your guess is pretty accurate!"

Jiang Ming looked like you really knew.

Fuck it.
Cheng Ning subconsciously thought of this, after all, what he said just now was casual.

I didn't expect Jiang Ming to admit it, and you are quite accurate. No matter how you look at it, this is a mockery.

For a moment, Cheng Ning didn't know how to answer the conversation, and the conversation between the two fell into an awkward situation.

"You don't tell the truth, do you?"

After waiting for a long time, seeing that Jiang Ming was silent, Cheng Ning asked tentatively.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Ming asked back.

You think, look at this question, I must think you are joking.

Cheng Ning's inner activities are very complicated.

There is no way to talk about this. Thinking of this, Cheng Ning felt that it would be best to go to the scene to confirm.

"I'll go to Jianglin to find you, let's meet and chat!"

Immediately, regardless of whether Jiang Ming heard it or not, he hung up the phone.Afterwards, Cheng Ning called another person.

"Old man Wang, follow me to Jianglin in the afternoon. Significant progress has been made in superconductor research."

Cheng Ning said bluntly.

"What, you have a meeting, it's okay, you go and do your work."

"The alloy discovered this time that can exhibit superconducting properties at a room temperature of [-] degrees, our Institute of Nuclear Physics researched alone."

"What, you can spare some time, okay, the plane is at 1:[-] in the afternoon, we will meet at the airport on time."

Cheng Ning hung up the phone contentedly, and finally saw Wang Shengxian deflated.

Jiang Ming, who was in Jianglin, was a little baffled. Why did Cheng Ning come to Jianglin out of nowhere? Is it that exaggerated?
Cheng Ning and Wang Shengxian arrived earlier than Jiang Ming expected, and they arrived at Jiang Ming's company before get off work in the afternoon.

At this time, Jiang Ming had made the ene alloy into a superconducting coil. Seeing that Jiang Ming had designed the temperature control system, Cheng Ning was a little speechless.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ming really wanted to build a nuclear reactor!

If he hadn't known that Jiang Ming had already developed a superconducting coil, Cheng Ning would have ridiculed him severely, but now?

Looking at the exquisite samples in front of him, Cheng Ning's throat tightened a little. According to the current posture, it is entirely possible!
After all, no one could have imagined that Jiang Ming could develop room-temperature superconductors before. You know, in the current superconducting world, the temperature range is two hundred degrees below zero.

Fortunately, Jiang Ming raised the temperature to fifteen degrees above zero.

Who dares to think of such a breakthrough.

The matter of superconductors has been solved, and more than half of the problem of controllable nuclear fusion has been solved.

Although the other half, in the eyes of the two, is also a problem of the century, and it cannot be solved in a short time.

But with the matter of ene alloy, Cheng Ning and Wang Shengxian really didn't dare to doubt anything.

After all, it's enough to slap the face once, and it can't be done all the time!
"Jiang Ming, why do you want to study superconductors?"

Wang Shengxian was very puzzled, and then asked.

"What's so strange about this? Doesn't controllable nuclear fusion require a superconductor to generate a strong magnetic field to confine nuclear fusion?"

Jiang Ming said it as a matter of course.

"So, you have researched this so-called ene alloy?"

Wang Shengxian's voice raised a few degrees, with an expression of disbelief.

"correct."

Jiang Ming said.

Wang Shengxian:
Cheng Ning: .
Sure enough, things about geniuses cannot be understood with common sense.

I heard that Jiang Ming often did this when he was researching lithium batteries and automatic driving.

Everyone thought that this matter was unfeasible and could not be researched, but Jiang Ming did.

And I heard that some time ago, Jiang Ming made something happen in the field of medicine. He developed an anti-tumor drug, which completely changed the pattern of the medical field.

Now that Jiang Ming is engaged in controllable nuclear fusion, judging from the current situation, it is really possible.

I just don't know how far it can go. After all, controllable nuclear fusion is not an ordinary thing. This thing, to be researched, is definitely a country's most important weapon.

Controllable nuclear fusion represents unlimited energy. Some people say that it is unlimited energy. Now everyone can use so much energy, and there is no lack of it.

No matter how much energy is used, it seems that not much is used.

At most, energy is abundant, so there is no need to advocate energy conservation.

People with this kind of thinking do not understand the importance of unlimited energy for human development.

Infinite energy means infinite possibilities, and in this case, all walks of life are likely to undergo revolutionary changes.

For example, the transmission problem of the power system.

Traditional energy transmission needs to consider the loss of cables. It is necessary to continuously increase the voltage and develop UHV technology. There are many technical difficulties in this process, and the increased cost is also very large.

But after having unlimited energy, you don't need to consider this issue, as long as it is within the safe range, it's a big deal to waste a little more energy.

This waste of energy is nothing to worry about.

Even to a certain extent, wireless power transmission technology can be developed.

Wireless power transmission technology exists in itself, and there is no technical difficulty, but the problem with wireless power transmission is that it will consume a lot of energy during the transmission process.

And this kind of transmission efficiency, according to the current technology, there is not much room for improvement.

But with infinite energy, inefficiency in the traditional sense is not a problem.

Even, with the blessing of unlimited energy, the entire city can be shrouded in the cool breeze of the air conditioner in summer, and heated in winter.

Such large-scale environmental changes require a large amount of energy.

With the current energy supply method, it cannot afford to consume it.

Therefore, all countries want to develop controllable nuclear fusion, knowing that controllable nuclear fusion is the future direction, but the reality is that there are too many problems in the development of this clean energy.

As for a superconductor, after so many years of development, it is still hovering at minus [-] degrees Celsius. It is very difficult to advance it to the progress of commercialization.

This kind of difficulty has reached the point where many countries have given up and no longer focus on research on it.
