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

Chapter 344 The strongest superconducting material in history!

In addition to simply accumulating subject experience, Xiaozhi's plan is also very foreseeable and has well set up ways to improve the direction of superconducting materials.

This allows Ning Chen to get closer to his goal faster while accumulating experience in the subject, so as to complete the plan of applying superconducting materials to rockets.

……

In the days that followed, Ning Chen carried out "special training" in materials science according to the plan proposed by Xiaozhi.

Ning Chen came to the laboratory and organized Xu Zhou, Yuan Shuai, Sui Feng, Pierce and others together to explain his thoughts.

"Now I want to develop a new type of superconducting material, which needs to have higher superconducting critical temperature, higher strength and corrosion resistance, lower density and other properties..."

After listening to Ning Chen's narration, everyone felt that this project was a bit difficult to start.

Superconductors are not easy to discover, and there are very few superconductors with high superconducting critical temperatures.

However, on this basis, Ning Chen actually added several new conditions, which is undoubtedly an even more difficult requirement.

"Teacher Ning, isn't the goal of this experiment a little too difficult? If you take any of these conditions, it is enough to be considered an excellent material."

After hearing the question raised by Xu Zhou, Ning Chen smiled and said:

"Yes, Teacher Xu, as you said, this is a very difficult experimental goal. Of course, we are not in a hurry to confirm the existence of this material right away. We just need to get closer to this goal bit by bit. In this process, we can discover enough theories, which is what I value more..."

Listening to Ning Chen's explanation, everyone began to understand Ning Chen's thoughts.

Ning Chen seems to hope to open up a new research direction. This research direction is completely different from the previous superconducting materials, but a superconducting material that is very application-oriented.

This means that before conducting experiments, strict predictions must be made about the properties of matter, including but not limited to the properties of superconductivity, but a more comprehensive prediction.

This will greatly increase the difficulty of predicting material properties, and the difficulty of the entire experiment will even increase exponentially.

"Okay, this is the main content of my latest scientific research project. There is no rush to start this project right away. If you have any good ideas, you can talk to me at any time."

After Ning Chen finished telling his thoughts, others left one after another, leaving only the former commander and Pierce in the laboratory.

"If I'm not wrong, you should have some good ideas that you want to share with me, right?" Ning Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, Teacher Ning, although these experimental conclusions may not be able to achieve our goals immediately, they can at least provide some help..."

With that said, Commander Yuan and Pierce told Ning Chen some of their recent scientific research results.

During this period of time, Ning Chen had not spared time to care about these things, so this was the first time he knew about their achievements.

Listening to what the former commander and Pierce said, Ning Chen also felt very satisfied.

"Yes, yes... these theories can provide very important help in improving the superconducting mechanism and the system of superconducting materials. In the following time, we can follow this idea and continue to explore forward..."

Under Ning Chen's understanding, when the theory about superconductivity is continuously improved, all the secrets about superconductivity will be easily solved.

Therefore, as long as they can maintain such research progress, when quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, that is when great results will be born.

After determining the rough plan, Ning Chen and others officially began experimental research on superconductivity.

Regarding the research selection of superconducting materials, Ning Chen mainly focused on metal alloy superconducting materials and composite superconducting materials.

Metal alloy superconducting materials generally have the property of high superconducting critical temperature, and are more suitable as materials such as superconducting coils and cables, which can generate strong magnetic fields or carry out efficient current transmission.

Composite superconducting materials tend to have excellent comprehensive properties. While they are fully conductive, they also have high strength and low density, which is very suitable for applications in the rocket field.

Time passed like this day by day. Although daily life seemed a bit boring and monotonous, Ning Chen felt very fulfilled and happy.

Ning Chen seemed to have returned to the time when he was a graduate student. Apart from studying and scientific research every day, he did not need to think about any other issues and could always maintain a very pure state of mind.

Since Ning Chen graduated, it has been difficult to have such a pure feeling.

In fact, many university teachers often participate in experiments personally when they first stay in school. However, as their qualifications gradually increase, they rarely do experiments themselves.

Ning Chen understood this phenomenon, but for Ning Chen himself, Ning Chen would never let himself stay away from the laboratory easily.

Only in this way can Ning Chen maintain strong scientific research capabilities and solve the most complex scientific research problems.

After many days of intense work, Ning Chen's experience in materials science was indeed rapidly accumulated.

At the same time, Ning Chen and others also obtained a number of new research results on superconductivity. Each of the research results here is enough to be published in top journals.

Finally, on this morning, when Ning Chen checked his personal system panel interface as usual, he found that his experience in materials science was only a dozen points away from being upgraded.

"Huh... I finally waited for this moment to arrive. The accumulation of experience in this subject is faster than expected."

Ning Chen's self-control played a crucial role in this, but without Xiaozhi's plan for himself, Ning Chen believed that he would not be able to accumulate so much subject experience now.

As for the remaining dozen points of subject experience, Ning Chen did not intend to slowly accumulate it on his own.

Using more than ten points of "deposits" of subject experience will not have any impact on Ning Chen. In comparison, what is more important is the process of improving subject level.

Only by maintaining the best condition can Ning Chen absorb the benefits brought by the improvement of subject level more quickly and efficiently.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen first contacted the former commander and said that he would not come to the laboratory today because he had something to do, and he would just let them conduct their own experiments as usual.

After explaining this matter, Ning Chen said silently in his mind:

"System, help me use the 15 points of subject experience in the system backpack to add points to Materials Science!" [The host's request has been received and the point addition operation is in progress for the host...]

[Fifteen points of subject experience have been added to the host’s materials science! 】

[Congratulations to the host for successfully upgrading Materials Science to Lv4! 】

Immediately, Ning Chen felt a magical feeling.

This feeling was like a large amount of knowledge pouring into Ning Chen's brain, forcing Ning Chen to concentrate on digesting this massive amount of knowledge.

But Ning Chen knew that this was not really knowledge pouring into his brain for no reason, but that his brain was sorting out and analyzing knowledge based on the knowledge he had acquired before.

This allows Ning Chen to better connect the knowledge he already has and derive a lot of new knowledge from it.

Ning Chen had the same feeling only when he upgraded his mathematics subject level to Lv4.

In this way, it was not until night that Ning Chen felt that this feeling gradually dissipated.

"I can't believe it...even if I focused all my energy on the absorption effect brought about by the improvement of subject level, it actually took me so long to complete this work. If it were absorbed in the background, maybe How many days will it take for it to be fully absorbed?"

At this time, Ning Chen could finally relax his brain a little and feel the benefits brought by the improvement in the level of materials science.

Soon, Ning Chen felt the changes in himself, and his mood suddenly became excited.

"The improvement in subject level... really has an incredible effect. If I just rely on the accumulation of experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach the same height in a year."

Ning Chen only felt that many problems that he could not figure out before could now be well understood, and Ning Chen could now discover some blind spots in thinking.

This kind of qualitative improvement has far better results than linear improvement.

Taking advantage of his good condition, Ning Chen quickly continued the unfinished work.

Ning Chen had tried to design an ideal superconducting material before, but because at that time Ning Chen felt that his abilities were still insufficient, he quickly delayed the matter.

Now, Ning Chen feels that he has the ability to accomplish this goal and can completely design superconducting materials for use in rockets.

In this way, Ning Chen concentrated his attention and soon entered a state of concentration.

Originally, Ning Chen could only maintain a state of concentration for two to three hours at most before exhausting his energy. However, this time, until five hours passed, Ning Chen remained in a very excited state and did not automatically leave the state of concentration. .

This was the best time Ning Chen felt about himself. Ning Chen felt that there was no problem that he could not solve.

In addition to the materials science that was just upgraded, Ning Chen's level 4 mathematics also played a very important role, helping Ning Chen to quickly calculate various material models and not get stuck due to problems other than materials science.

Finally, after six hours of intense work, Ning Chen obtained a satisfactory material model.

According to Ning Chen's prediction, this material model can not only have a high superconducting critical temperature, but also have excellent properties in other aspects.

As Ning Chen's spirit relaxed, Ning Chen also automatically broke out of his state of concentration and began to feel tired in his brain and body.

"I actually... maintained a state of concentration for six consecutive hours? The effect of these evolutionary points is really more powerful than imagined."

Ning Chen originally thought that the effect of one evolution point might be equivalent to two points of brain power, but in fact, this ratio could be increased several times.

Fortunately, the state of concentration will not completely drain Ning Chen's energy. Even if he no longer has the energy to think intensively, Ning Chen still has certain analytical abilities.

Not caring about resting, Ning Chen used Xiaozhi's modeling processing ability to predict the properties of the material model he built.

What made Ning Chen happy was that Xiaozhi's final prediction was very close to his own. This also made Ning Chen basically sure that there was no problem with the substance he designed.

After confirming this, Ning Chen could finally rest with peace of mind.

Ning Chen was still a little excited at this time, but in order to work in a better state tomorrow, Ning Chen still used the breathing sleep method to put himself into sleep within a few minutes.

After getting up the next day, Ning Chen simply tidied up and quickly came to the laboratory.

Everyone was used to Ning Chen not being in the laboratory often, so they were a little surprised to see Ning Chen return to the laboratory after just one day's rest.

Ning Chen didn't make any foreshadowing and said straight to the point:

"Yesterday I thought carefully about the experimental plan. Now I will share with you my thoughts yesterday..."

Everyone was even more surprised when they heard that Ning Chen did not come to the laboratory yesterday and was actually thinking about the experimental plan alone at home.

However, they also knew that Ning Chen was indeed very accustomed to this way of thinking, and they were somewhat curious about what kind of experimental plan Ning Chen had come up with.

"This kind of superconducting material does not belong to any original superconducting material system, but is a fusion of multiple superconducting material systems. But in terms of properties in all aspects, it is not inferior to other Superconducting material systems are even stronger..."

Listening to Ning Chen's story, everyone couldn't help but feel surprised and excited about this new material.

In fact, at the beginning, in order to achieve his goal, Ning Chen tried his best to integrate the design core of various superconducting material systems in order to design a superconducting material with acceptable properties in all aspects.

However, after some attempts, Ning Chen gave up on this plan.

Because according to this design direction, the final designed material was relatively mediocre in all aspects and could not meet Ning Chen's goals at all.

Ning Chen decisively gave up this direction and decided not to be restricted by any original knowledge framework, but to design from scratch.

This unfettered way of thinking has indeed produced very good results, and Ning Chen was also somewhat surprised to find that many properties of matter are not mutually exclusive, but can complement each other.
