Starting from a top student and marching towards the sea of ​​stars

Chapter 285 It turns out that "Nature" is just a spare tire

Seeing such a result, Tao Wei couldn't help but express his sincere praise to Ning Chen and the former commander.

Tao Wei remembered that when he first met Ning Chen, he saw how powerful Ning Chen was.

Ning Chen was still a student at that time, but he had already demonstrated strong scientific research abilities and was a scientific research genius that could only be seen in a century.

But this time when Tao Wei saw Ning Chen again, he felt that Ning Chen was much more powerful now than he had been a few years ago.

Tao Wei didn't know if this was his illusion, but relying on his intuition, Tao Wei felt that his assessment of Ning Chen was not wrong.

"Academician Tao, in fact, there were no major problems with our previous experiments, but they were not perfect in some subtle areas. It is difficult for me to express these things in words. I don't know if you can detect them. the difference."

"Yes, these subtleties are indeed difficult to describe, but I do see the difference in our experiments. If we conduct the experiments independently this time, we should be able to do better than before."

In the next experiment, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai did not participate directly, but silently watched Tao Wei and others' experiments.

Just like Tao Wei said, after watching Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai's experimental process, they did find the problem.

This allowed them to successfully produce high-quality products. Even without the help of Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai, they no longer had to worry about the problem of material synthesis.

After that, the project team officially started research on the preparation of wire strips of this material.

This is the first time they have tried to prepare a wire strip material with such poor stability, but before that, Ning Chen had used Xiaozhi's modeling processing capabilities to make detailed predictions about related experiments.

If nothing else, as long as the experimental conditions are well controlled, the processing of wire strips can still be completed smoothly.

In the early days, the project team members spent a lot of effort to successfully synthesize a nickel oxide superconductor wire strip with a length of 100mm.

Such a length of wire strip is far from being suitable for use in superconducting transmission lines, but it is a very good start.

After completing the first phase of the experiment, the project team carefully measured this 100mm superconducting wire strip and summarized the experiments during this period.

The methodical experimental arrangement allowed the project team to quickly find the key points and improve subsequent experiments.

200mm……500mm……1000mm……

As time passed, the project team successfully synthesized longer and more stable superconducting wire strips.

Among them, Ning Chen played a very important role. However, Ning Chen's strength alone was far from enough. Other project team members also provided many good ideas.

Finally, with everyone's continuous efforts, this process was successfully overcome by the project team, and all complex problems were solved one by one.

"Next, we only need to follow this process and continue to produce this nickel oxide superconductor wire strip material. During the processing process, we must pay attention to ensure that the material is under suitable conditions, and the operators must also pay attention to Security……"

Since the subsequent construction of superconducting lines will take a long time, Ning Chen does not intend to stay until the end of the project.

The arrival of Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai during this period has helped the project team solve the core problems, and the remaining work will be relatively easy.

"Teacher Ning, next we will choose a location in Yanjing to build a superconducting experimental circuit. This experiment is not a traditional laboratory, but a real implementation of superconducting material power supply in an area. We need to use this Experiment to verify the practical feasibility of superconducting power transmission applications."

Although the use of superconducting power transmission materials to transport electricity can theoretically achieve zero loss of electrical energy, this does not mean that the use of superconducting materials for power transmission will definitely save costs.

Because superconducting materials often require lower temperatures to achieve superconductivity, constructing a low-temperature environment also requires a very high cost.

In addition, the cost of research and synthesis of superconducting materials, the construction of superconducting circuits, the maintenance of superconducting circuits, etc. are also costs that must be considered.

Overall, it is not easy to make superconducting power transmission more cost-effective.

Of course, as humans continue to research in the field of superconductivity, the use of superconducting materials for power transmission will definitely be a future trend.

Therefore, no matter what the final result of this experiment is, it will be a very meaningful experiment.

"Academician Tao, because there is still a lot of work for us to handle at Shengzhou University, we will not continue to follow the project team for the time being. Of course, if we encounter any problems in the follow-up project, you can always follow me and Yuan Shuai Make contact.”

"Teacher Ning, Mr. Yuan Shuai, if we can invite you two from Shengzhou this time, it will already be a lot of trouble for you. You can just go back and deal with the work. Although our ability is not as good as yours, it doesn't count. It’s too bad, but I should still be able to deal with the remaining problems.” Tao Wei said with a smile.

Naturally, Ning Chen felt very at ease with this old academician. This time at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, although Ning Chen came as a guidance expert, he learned a lot of new things from Tao Wei.

After completing the handover of work, Ning Chen and the former commander boarded the plane back to Shengzhou.

On the way back, the former commander couldn't help but sigh with emotion about this trip to the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

"Ning Chen, I didn't expect that participating in a project of this level would not be as stressful and difficult as I imagined. It feels so wonderful to be able to contribute to a national-level project."

"Yes, Commander Yuan, when I first participated in this kind of project, I had a similar mood to you. Of course, you just need to get used to these things. We are all capable of doing this kind of work."

In fact, Ning Chen felt that the former commander's current ability had far exceeded the former commander's assessment of his ability.

His influence on the former coach is one aspect, and this is also inseparable from the former coach's own efforts.

If it were anyone else, even if their abilities would be improved due to Ning Chen's existence, it would be difficult for them to improve so obviously.

After arriving in Shengzhou smoothly, Ning Chen and Marshal Yuan quickly continued their work.

"Commander, this time we are ready to publish our paper. With the way we write the paper, we should be able to keep the core of the results confidential."

According to the queuing order of papers in the main journal of "Academic Starry Sky", it is expected that Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai's paper will be successfully published in the next issue of the journal.Of course, as one of the editors-in-chief of the journal, Ning Chen can also urgently withdraw the paper if it is found that it is not suitable for public publication.

After all, this is an academic journal founded by Ning Chen. Ning Chen still has greater power over the operation of the journal, and these operations will definitely be fundamentally different from those carried out in other journals.

"Yes, I had the same idea after conducting an experiment at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. This experiment is indeed difficult to replicate. Only people like us who have participated in the experiment can know the key points."

After the two chatted for a while, they each went about their work.

At this time, the former commander seemed to have suddenly discovered something that excited him, and his expression looked very excited.

After hesitating for a moment, the former commander decided to inform Ning Chen of the news.

"Ning Chen, I want to tell you something."

Hearing the former commander's voice, Ning Chen rolled his eyes and immediately guessed what the former commander was thinking.

"Has Nature given you the final review comments for your paper?"

The former commander did not expect that Ning Chen would immediately guess what he wanted to tell Ning Chen, nodded and said:
"Yes, the editor of "Nature" just sent me an email, saying that he has officially decided to accept my paper. Now, I am also the one who is about to have a "Nature" paper."

Although due to the rise of "Academic Sky", the status of "Nature" in the academic journal world has declined, and the bonuses for papers published in "Nature" by major universities have also been reduced, but those who can successfully publish their papers in "Nature" In the main magazine, it is still a good achievement.

This is also the first time that the former coach has received such a generous bonus, which almost allows the former coach to no longer have to worry about money.

"Commander Yuan, congratulations. I knew you could do this. But you don't have to be too excited, because we will publish an article in the main issue of "Academic Star" soon."

After hearing Ning Chen's words, the former commander couldn't help but become even more excited.

Compared with "Nature", Yuan Shuai is naturally more looking forward to this paper published in "Academic Sky", because this already represents the pinnacle of academic journals.

The only fly in the ointment is that this is not the research result of Yuan Shuai alone, and Yuan Shuai even plays a supporting role in it.

Yuan Shuai secretly made a determination in his heart that one day he must publish a paper in "Academic Star" as the core of the project.

……

With the release of the next main issue of "Nature", Yuan Shuai's paper on nickel oxide superconductors has also been officially published.

Although the superconducting critical temperature of this nickel oxide superconductor is only 80K, which has just exceeded the category of high-temperature superconductors, this paper has attracted relatively high attention from the academic community.

Because this research has opened up a new superconductor system, and the first superconductor in the system is a high-temperature superconductor, this is enough to prove the high application value of this research direction.

When people learned that the author of this paper was also from the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shengzhou University, they were very surprised by the results.

"I really didn't expect that a new materials science genius would appear at Shengzhou University. He was able to publish a paper in the main journal of Nature as the first author and corresponding author while he was a graduate student. It's really amazing An amazing thing.”

"It is said that this is a student from Ning Chen's laboratory, and he is in the same research direction as Ning Chen, studying new superconductors. Shengzhou University's strength in the field of superconductivity has far exceeded that of other universities."

"Even Ning Chen's students are so good now. I can't believe what level Ning Chen himself has reached. Maybe it won't be long before we can discover room temperature superconductors."

Because this paper caused a great response, the editors of the journal Nature also felt a little lucky.

These days, "Nature" has not received such outstanding papers for a long time. Papers of this level may even have the opportunity to be published in the main journal of "Academic Sky".

You know, how difficult it is to publish a paper in the main journal of "Academic Sky".

Only ten papers each month have such an opportunity, and since the main journal of "Academic Sky" does not have any requirements for the research direction of the paper, this further increases the difficulty of publishing the paper.

It's just that they don't quite understand why Yuan Shuai chose to submit this paper to "Nature" instead of "Academic Star" founded by Shengzhou University.

But then something happened that made them seem to have found the answer to this question.

"Did you know... the latest issue of "Academic Sky" has been released, and there is another paper on nickel oxide superconductors!"

After learning the news, the journal editors of "Nature" also quickly checked this issue of "Academic Sky".

Due to the current influence of "Academic Starry Sky" in the academic world, many editors of other academic journals will pay great attention to the papers in "Academic Starry Sky", and even read them as soon as each issue of "Academic Starry Sky" is released. Check out the latest papers above.

After all, this represents the latest and most cutting-edge scientific research results in academia. If you don't learn in time, it will be difficult to catch up with the latest trends in science and technology.

"It turns out to be another paper on nickel oxide superconductors...couldn't it still be from the School of Materials, Shengzhou University?"

It hasn't been long since the publication of Yuan Shuai's paper. In theory, even if research started from that time, it would be impossible to obtain new scientific research results immediately.

Therefore, this paper can only come from the School of Materials Science and Technology of Shengzhou University.

"Yes, and for this paper, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai share the first authorship. I always feel that this matter seems a bit strange."

"Yes, why didn't their last paper choose to be published in Academic Star Sky? This is really a puzzling thing."

At this moment, an editor seemed to suddenly figure out something and said:

"I seem to understand. This is probably just an idea to get the last paper published earlier. It is said that the main journal of "Academic Sky" has accumulated many papers. Unless it is a particularly outstanding paper, it is difficult to jump in. Published. They...are obviously using our "Nature" as a backup!"
