From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

After Liang Jingye's team left, Wang Hao immediately wrote the project application materials.

The research on SMES energy storage batteries is not a temporary decision. The application of anti-gravity to aerospace is the general direction. They have cooperated with aviation groups and have always had plans to develop anti-gravity aircraft.

Although there is already anti-gravity technology, and even the weight reduction has exceeded 90%, it is still not easy to manufacture an aircraft. There are two biggest problems. One is that the anti-gravity equipment itself is very heavy.

The second is to create an anti-gravity field, which requires high-intensity and continuous electric power.

Each of these two problems is not easy to solve.

As early as a year ago, they had the idea of ​​manufacturing high-power batteries, but they have been investing in research and development in other directions, and the demonstration of other aspects of the aircraft has not been resolved.

Now that the Aviation Group and the Anti-gravity Behavior Research Center have established a general direction, it is clear that they will develop an anti-gravity aircraft.

Wang Hao's research group, including the Antigravity Behavior Research Center, has a relatively high degree of freedom in research and development, and can even directly invest in research without making a report.

But starting a major study still requires the establishment of a research group.

On the one hand, it is convenient to recruit relevant personnel. It is best for the superior and the aviation group to help form a research team.

On the other hand, it also involves the use of large-scale research and development funds.

After submitting the application materials normally, there will naturally be no problems. The higher authorities and the aviation group will also give support, and the research will go much smoother.

...

In fact, just like Ma Xuebing's judgment, the superior department has long been dissatisfied with Pan Dong's SMES technical team.

After American announced that it was about to build a large SMES power storage base, the higher authorities became even more dissatisfied.

Pan Dong's SMES technical team has sufficient funds and the most high-end materials supported by Superconducting Industries.

Why did you invest in research and development for two years and still have no results?

The experimental products they produced have a series of problems to be solved, and perfection seems to be far away.

For a large-scale project, it is normal to spend several years or more than ten years on research. However, under the background of fierce competition in the international superconducting field, the research time is delayed too much, which is somewhat unacceptable.

After seeing the materials submitted by Wang Hao and knowing that he would set up a team to develop SMES batteries, the superior department immediately approved it, and even asked Pan Dong's team to cooperate in submitting materials to help speed up Wang Hao's research.

The superior department also thought very simply, "SMES batteries are too high-end, and may not be able to be developed. But even if they cannot be developed, it is good to be able to improve SMES technology."

"It will take a long time to rely on Pan Dong to do it alone."

"Now that two teams work together, there will be competition, and there will be motivation if there is competition..."

...

After Wang Hao submitted the information, he calmly waited for the formation of the team, as well as the support of the superior department and the aviation group.

There is no need for him to intervene in similar matters.

When everything is ready, his job is to lead the new team to do research.

When he has free time, he still studies some theoretical issues.

On the issue of annihilation theory, Wang Hao has seldom done special research, because many scholars in the world are doing related research, and they have achieved a lot of results in the past two years.

Even if he does theoretical research and development alone, no matter how efficient it is, it is impossible to compare with hundreds or thousands of people, especially when it involves some ordinary fields, it is not necessary at all.

For Wang Hao, the most attractive thing is the content related to "Task 2".

[Task 2: Find the phenomenon of increasing space squeeze (difficulty: S). 】

[Inspiration value: 11. 】

The difficulty of this research and development task is S-level, and a few months are enough for normal S-level difficulty tasks.

Obviously.

'Looking for the phenomenon of increasing space squeeze' does not rely on theory and thinking, but more on 'luck'.

If a phenomenon can be found that is related to increasing space squeeze, the inspiration value will definitely increase rapidly.

In the past two years, the task has only increased by eleven points of inspiration.

This number can be said to be very pitiful.

The only thing Wang Hao knows now is that the 'increased space squeeze phenomenon' is related to two factors, one factor is anti-gravity, to be precise, it is 'reduced space squeeze field', or called 'mass field', and the other One factor is the magnetic field.

"Increasing space squeeze is directly related to the magnetic field..."

"What phenomenon is related to anti-gravity and magnetic field? It must not be the current anti-gravity experiment..."

Wang Hao has participated in countless anti-gravity experiments. In order to find the phenomenon of increasing space squeeze, he also specially designed several experiments, but unfortunately he found nothing in the end.

Until now, he has not found the exact direction.

"Is it necessary to further demonstrate the electromagnetic force?" Wang Hao thought about it, and finally shook his head.

He used the theory of annihilation before to complete the argument related to electrons. In a certain way, it has been related to electromagnetic force.

In the end, it didn't increase the inspiration value of 'task two', which means that the direction of the argument of electromagnetic force is wrong.

"What are we going to do?"

Wang Hao let out a long sigh, knowing that it is almost impossible to get results if he is bored in the office and imagines out of thin air.

...

SMES technical team.

The team led by Liang Jingye returned to the team and explained that Wang Hao believes that the problem of the quench protection system cannot be solved directly.

This made Pan Dong feel very regretful. He hoped to find Wang Hao to solve the problem, and it would be best to arouse Wang Hao's interest, so that he could find time to help with research.

In the end, it still didn't work out...

Another piece of news made Pan Dong a little depressed, "You mean, Wang Hao wants you to join his team, and they are also going to study SMES technology?"

"Um."

Liang Jingye nodded slightly, staring at Pan Dong with big eyes, she also wanted to know what the teacher meant.

Of course, Pan Dong didn't want Liang Jingye to leave, because Liang Jingye was a very important member of the team, and his contribution to research was almost catching up with him and Deng Jianqiang.

Now Liang Jingye is the number three member of the team.

Pan Dong said, "Xiao Liang, you are indispensable for this research."

"Academician Wang has no shortage of talents, but in our group, you are too important!"

"I know that Academician Wang is very attractive to everyone, but there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, which is very important to us now."

Liang Jingye pursed her lips and nodded lightly. She knew her importance in the team, but she was still a little bit disappointed.

Pan Dong was concerned about Liang Jingye, so he forgot about Wang Hao's research on SMES batteries, because SMES batteries were too high-end, and their SMES power storage equipment had a series of problems.

He subconsciously felt that the research on SMES batteries must be after they have achieved results.

Wang Hao said that he will start research, and it is estimated that it will be a few years later.

What Pan Dong didn't expect was that Wang Hao acted so fast. He not only quickly applied for a new project, but the superior department also asked his team to provide completed research and development materials.

This made Pan Dong unacceptable.

After he heard the news, he flew directly to the capital, and went to the Science and Technology Department to make a fuss, "Academician Wang, I admire him, but he wants to study SMES and ask us to provide information? It's too much!"

"Still researching SMES batteries? Isn't this a joke!"

"How can you do that!"

Pan Dong was really angry. He wanted Wang Hao to help solve the problem of the quench protection system, and he could indeed show Wang Hao the information.

But it would be different if Wang Hao established a new project.

This is tantamount to copying their research and development to do research, no matter how you think about it, it feels too much.

Pan Dong was very angry.

But the officials of the Science and Technology Department also said, "You have been researching and developing for two years, and you have not made much progress until now!"

"Also, Academician Wang is researching SMES batteries, so it doesn't conflict with you!"

"That's more advanced technology!"

SMES energy storage devices and SMES batteries are similar to the comparison between ultra-slow and bulky computers and today's tablet computers.

One is large and backward equipment, and the other is fine and fast equipment.

Wang Hao's research and development is obviously more advanced.

But Pan Dong is a professional in the field. He does not believe that Wang Hao, or any team can develop SMES batteries.

So he thought it was the higher-level department that was dissatisfied with their R\u0026D speed, so he approved Wang Hao's project and asked them to provide R\u0026D materials.

In this way, the two teams stand on the same starting line to compete.

Pan Dong had nothing to say in the end, his team had been working for two years and had enough financial support.

It is said that they are competing on the same starting line, what else can they say?

Can it be said that there is no competition?

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face and simply disband the team?

Pan Dong also felt a lot of pressure all of a sudden. After returning to the R\u0026D base, he immediately worried the leaders of all the teams, and said sonorously, "Some of you know, some of you don't know, the higher authorities approve In order to form a new team to develop SMES technology."

"This is dissatisfaction with our research and development speed."

"You don't want to lose two years of hard work, do you? Now we have to pull ourselves together."

"We also have great advantages, the first advantage is that we have experience, we have been doing the work for two years, and the new team has only just been formed, and it has not even started to be formed."

"The second advantage is that we have more information, data."

"Our basic design data will be submitted to the new team, but you all know that the most precious thing is not the basic data, but the data of debugging and correcting data after the test product is built."

"We are improving step by step, improving step by step!"

"Under these two advantages, if our research and development speed and results are not as good as the new team, then what will the higher authorities and other research teams think of us?"

"Presumably, everyone can think about it..."

Pan Dong's words are indeed motivating.

Liang Jingye became determined. She really hoped to do research with Wang Hao, but when it came to professional issues, she was still very confident.

Their team has more information and more experience.

Under the two conditions, the speed of research and development can not catch up with Wang Hao's team, which is really unreasonable.

Liang Jingye also made up her mind. When talking about her work problems, she immediately said seriously, "From now on, we will seriously improve the design and focus on solving the problem of the quench protection system!"

"We have to work hard to prove that no matter how difficult and complicated it is, we can definitely complete it..."

...

The support from the superior department and the aviation group is very fast.

After the approval of the application materials, in just half a month, the new SMES team has already taken shape. There are a total of 29 newcomers, plus others, the team size has reached 35 people.

According to the needs of SMES research and development, Wang Hao divided the personnel into five groups, corresponding to each department and system research.

Among them, the computer inspection team has the largest number of ten people, and they are responsible for the research and development of the SMES control system.

After everything was arranged properly, Wang Hao held a research group meeting.

Wang Hao is the person in charge of the SMES research group, with Liu Mingkun, the deputy director, and several other group leaders.

The newly formed team must be very dynamic.

Before the meeting started, many people were discussing, "I knew it before I came. Everyone in the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences said that we are competing with Pan Dong's team."

"If you can't compete, it won't be interesting, but with Academician Wang, there's no problem."

"Indeed, Academician Wang is still worried about Pan Dong. Let me see, Pan Dong's team won't be able to finish it in another five years."

"SMES technology has long been researched by American, but we have the most high-end materials, and we are still five years behind, which is really unacceptable..."

"That's why a new team was formed..."

When Wang Hao walked to the door, he heard the discussion in the conference room. He listened a few times and couldn't help asking Liu Mingkun, "What competition? How did it become a competition between us and Professor Pan's team?"

"Isn't it a competition?"

Liu Mingkun asked suspiciously, "Everyone says that, the superior asked us to study together because Pan Dong's team was too slow in developing..."

Wang Hao said, "Of course not. We are doing research on SMES batteries. How can we compete with other teams?"

"Team Pandong...don't be kidding."

Wang Hao shook his head amusedly.

Liang Jingye's team has already explained the problems encountered by Pan Dong's team, mainly the problem of the quench protection system.

To put it simply, various bugs appear during the operation of a system. Because there are too many bugs, one is solved and a new one is discovered. It seems that it will never be completed.

Wang Hao didn't think it was a big problem. For him, it was very easy to solve every bug.

If there is no plan to develop SMES batteries, he doesn't mind spending some time helping Pan Dong's team solve a few problems.

The point is, they also need to study SMES technology, so there is no need to waste time.

Liu Mingkun didn't understand what Wang Hao meant.

SMES battery?

Although the research and development project is indeed SMES battery, everyone agrees that "SMES battery" is just a slogan, because the basis of "SMES battery" research is to overcome SMES technology.

To make a simple analogy, if you can't even build a large nuclear power plant, you still want to build a nuclear power battery?

What a joke!

Switching to SMES technology, that is, superconducting magnetic power storage technology, has the same meaning. You must first be able to manufacture large-scale SMES power storage devices before you can research and manufacture SMES batteries.

...

SMES R\u0026D group meeting.

Wang Hao explained a problem at the very beginning, "Here, let me emphasize one point."

"We are not trying to compete with other teams, we are doing separate research, and the goal is SMES batteries."

"SMES technology is only the first step!"

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he didn't care about other people's thoughts, and began to talk about the research problem.

What they now have is the basic data from Pandong's team, that is, the topological (planar) data of each part of the SMES power storage device.

Topological data is the most basic data, which only includes the names and uses of each part, specific structure, manufacturing details, etc., and special design is still required.

Wang Hao started talking about it, "Our next job is to demonstrate for each part."

"For example, for the overall design, each team leader has to submit three design ideas."

"Also, each group, for the department in charge, also submitted three design ideas, and we will discuss each part and each design idea at the next meeting."

From overall design, to part design, to detail design.

This is Wang Hao's research method.

When discussing with other people, he can always know the right direction. Naturally, he can directly discuss the design, find the most suitable one, control the overall design and discuss all the details, and finally come up with a viable option.

Everyone else is also getting ready.

Any research starts with demonstration, especially the design issues of cutting-edge technology, which must be repeatedly demonstrated.

After all the designs are determined, it will be put into the manufacture of test products, and then it will be continuously debugged, corrected problems, and gradually perfected.

The same is true of the research and development process in many technological application fields.

There is nothing novel about Wang Hao's approach, but it disappointed many people a little.

Although Wang Hao said that he is not competing with Pandong's team, even Pandong's team can't compete. It is ridiculous to talk about developing SMES batteries.

Pandong's team has already produced experimental products, and has been continuously debugging and improving.

They are at least one year behind schedule.

a year...

How to catch up?

Wang Hao ignored other people's ideas, they just need to do it normally.

In the next month, the SMES research team has been doing design demonstrations, including the demonstration of the overall design, the certification of the design of each part, and the demonstration of some key technologies.

In the process of continuous argumentation, Wang Hao finalized some plans, and finalized the design drawings one by one.

Many people in the research team found that Wang Hao is almost a 'dictator'. When making arguments, he would discuss normally with other people and speak in a very kind tone.

But when it comes time to finalize the design, he almost never "does not listen to advice" and makes a decision all at once.

This also caused some people to criticize. Some parts of the design, they hold other opinions, and it is useless to express their opinions. The final design plan is always based on Wang Hao's decision.

Liu Mingkun was one of the depressed people, even said to be the 'most depressed' one.

He is a researcher at the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Academy of Sciences, and he also serves as the deputy director of the new research group. He also knows SMES technology very well, so he should have a certain right to speak.

but……

From the very beginning of the argument to the present, the determination of all plans is based on Wang Hao.

At the beginning, he mentioned his own ideas, but then he simply acted as a "thinking person" like everyone else, and let Wang Hao make the decision.

When the research team talked about their work in private, Liu Mingkun couldn't help complaining to the others, "Is the plan finalized in one breath really feasible?"

"The speed is fast, and it will be completed soon, but the speed is too fast. It seems that the coil winding method finalized yesterday, if it is an electrician's office, it will take a long time to demonstrate, and it will make samples for experiments..."

"Academician Wang, the theoretical level is very high, but he is too stubborn, and he will not listen to persuasion at all..."

"It's normal, 30 years old, academician, number one in the world. If it were me, I would be stubborn..."

"It's you? Go to bed now!"

"Oh~~~"
