From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

capital.

After the nuclear fusion design project was established, a series of scientific and technological conferences were held.

One of the most concerned is the conference on superconducting technology theory.

Technical theory will involve not only technology, but also theory, that is, the direction of future research and development and development.

In the first half of the superconductivity conference, various institutions still released the latest material technology information, so that those who came to the conference saw the application research of upgraded elements in various material fields.

Deng Huanshan is one of the most beautiful scholars.

As the head of the Superconducting Materials Research Center, many scholars gathered around him to inquire about the research on superconducting materials, and the results produced by the Superconducting Materials Research Center are a brand-new first-order iron-based superconducting material.

This is the material Wang Hao recommended to the space agency.

At room temperature, this material named 'CWF-071' has higher resistivity than silver and lower than copper, which means that it can replace conventional wires at room temperature.

In addition, the transition temperature of CWF-071 is as high as 201K, and the resistivity will drop significantly as the temperature decreases.

For general conductors, the resistivity will also decrease with temperature, but the decrease is not large. CWF-071 can clearly see a large decrease.

"In the future, CWF-071 will be mass-produced, and it can replace conventional conductors in many environments and act as a conductor."

Deng Huanshan said with a smile on his face, "The ultimate goal of research and development of superconducting materials is to realize superconductivity at room temperature."

"In the field of superconductivity, upgrading materials have great potential. Our next goal is to manufacture superconducting materials with higher transition temperatures..."

He also stated the established target data - 230K.

This statistic is astonishing.

230K, which is minus 43.15 degrees Celsius, can reach this temperature if it is close to special areas such as the South and North Pole.

In fact, Deng Huanshan and other scholars have subconsciously ignored a problem——

current carrying capacity.

All superconducting materials put into use today are complex metal compounds, and the conductivity is mainly determined by metal elements.

The same is to achieve the superconducting state, the current carrying rate of the single metal is much higher than that of the complex metal compound.

The resistivity of CWF-071 is lower than that of copper, but the current carrying capacity is far inferior to that of copper. To use CWF-071 at room temperature, it is necessary to make thicker wires to maintain the same resistance value.

Of course.

If the superconducting state can be achieved, its performance will surpass that of copper at once. The problem is that even the research and development of first-order iron-based superconducting materials has encountered the limit problem of transition temperature.

The so-called "transition temperature limit problem" means that in the process of research and development, a special temperature value will be found. The transition temperature of most superconducting materials cannot exceed this temperature value, and it is difficult for a small number of superconducting materials to exceed this temperature value. too much.

It turns out that in the study of superconducting materials with conventional elements, the limit of the transition temperature is about 180K.

Now using first-order iron, it has risen to 200K.

At the meeting, scholars from the Key Laboratory of Superconductivity of the Academy of Sciences talked about the "limit problem of transition temperature" and made a research report on it.

Many scholars have thought about it.

Wang Hao listened with great interest. The report he prepared was to explain the research direction of superconducting materials. To a certain extent, it also explained a method to break through the limit problem.

"Upgrade elements and material manufacturing technology!"

When Wang Hao came to the stage to make a report, he talked about two points, one is the upgrade element, and there are too many things to talk about about the upgrade element.

"We can find that after the application of first-order iron, the limit of the transition temperature has increased. Many material teams at home and abroad have developed superconducting materials with a critical temperature close to or beyond 180K."

"Limited by the current carrying capacity, most materials have no application value."

"But no matter what, the discovery of higher-order elements has increased the limit value of the transformation temperature."

"In the process of studying upgraded elements, we found that compared with conventional elements at the same temperature, the activity of the outer electrons of all upgraded elements will increase. In simple terms, the resistivity will decrease."

"So we can simply infer that second-order, third-order or higher-order metal elements may have superconducting properties at room temperature."

"Of course, this is not possible for the time being."

"We have another direction, which is to manufacture high-current-carrying metal materials that are close to superconducting properties at room temperature."

Finally, what Wang Hao said was related to dense materials.

Dense materials can increase the density of materials while effectively reducing the resistivity of metal materials.

They have produced dense silver with a resistivity at room temperature more than five times that of conventional human silver.

This material is of course very valuable as a conductor.

It's a pity that the produced dense silver has a certain degree of radiation and cannot be used as a conventional material. The annihilation force field experiment team is trying to produce dense silver without radiation by continuously reducing the strength of the annihilation force field.

...

After the conference on superconducting technology theory, many people were talking about Wang Hao's report.

General superconducting material conferences talk about the manufacturing technology of superconducting materials, either show the latest superconducting materials, or talk about the research and development direction of superconducting materials.

In the field of superconductivity, realizing room temperature superconductivity is the ultimate goal.

Wang Hao's report felt a little "unreasonable". He talked about the upgrading elements and material manufacturing technology, directly reducing the material resistivity and increasing the transformation temperature limit value from the base of the underlying elements.

But what he said made sense.

Many scholars said with emotion, "So, the realization of room temperature superconductivity in the future depends not on the research of superconducting material technology, but on the research of annihilation force field."

"If you want to completely conquer a technology, you must leave the technical field to do it."

"This is also the norm."

"How many people and institutions are studying superconducting materials, only from the elemental composition and manufacturing methods, it is impossible to achieve room temperature superconductivity."

"Academician Wang Hao's words are too reasonable."

"I really look forward to seeing that kind of high-level elements, but I feel... there is no hope for a short time..."

"..."

This is the case in the technical field of superconducting materials.

It is almost impossible to solve the extreme problem of transition temperature if only relying on conventional research.

Now that there are first-order iron materials, 200K is close to the upper limit of the extreme value. It feels that most materials with a transition temperature close to 200K will have various problems, and it is difficult to put them into application.

In terms of application direction, the most widely used is 141k CW-019.

This is also the signboard of the superconducting material industry company. It has the most production and the widest application, and has been applied in many fields.

Experimental research by a large number of material institutions has proved that it is difficult to break through the ultimate problem only by studying superconducting material technology, so it is necessary to find a way in other directions.

Wang Hao provided a good idea and a good direction.

It's a pity that most people can't participate in the research, and they can only learn about it.

Wang Hao attaches great importance to material issues, and they have given a definition for dense first-order iron materials, that is, "future iron elements".

The 'future iron element' was named first-order β-iron 56.

β represents the second order, 56 represents the atomic mass, and conventional dense materials are named first-order α materials.

For example, conventional first-order iron is first-order α-iron56.

On the way back to Xihai University, Wang Hao also thought about the research in the direction of 'future elements', "It seems that the experiment must be started. The short-term goal is to study several isotopes of iron, hoping to find a future iron that does not contain radiation. element."

This research is related to the strong annihilation force field technology.

The 'future element' will not be affected by abnormal phenomena, so it can support the creation of a high-intensity strong annihilation force field.

...

After returning to Xihai University, Wang Hao continued to pay attention to the research of the F-ray experiment group and the annihilation force field experiment group.

Both experimental groups fared well.

At the same time, he also needs to participate in the nuclear fusion design project, first of all, to form the main team of the design project.

This work is still dominated by Tang Jianjun.

Tang Jianjun is very enthusiastic about nuclear fusion research. He is already over 60 years old, and he is still working energetically.

With the support of the science and technology department, the Academy of Sciences, the International Science Foundation and other institutions, the project team quickly determined the work location, which is the old government office building in Xihai City.

The old government-government office building was designated as a control area.

The name of the team is 'Nuclear Fusion Device Design Group'. The name sounds very low-key, but it has more than a dozen academicians, dozens of researchers, and hundreds of engineers. There are already three academicians stationed at the main research base. .

Among them are Tang Jianjun, the deputy chief designer, Zhou Dongwei from the Institute of Nuclear Physics, and Gong Yunwei from the Institute of Materials Science and Technology.

The researchers below are only a dozen or so for the time being.

Twenty researchers may sound like a lot, but compared to the nuclear fusion project, the number is too small.

Within the nuclear fusion device design team, professional groups have been established, including the main design group, material group, power group, magnetic energy group, energy demonstration group, electric power group, computer group, and so on.

The main design team is directly in charge of Wang Hao, and it is also the core team. It is responsible for the design of the main frame of the nuclear fusion device and will assign research and development work to other research groups.

Several academicians are in the main design group.

The material group is the largest group.

In the design of nuclear fusion devices, half of the energy should be devoted to solving material problems, and the material group naturally has the most researchers.

The person in charge of the energy demonstration group is Wang Baichuan, whose main job is to do internal energy intensity, reaction intensity, and related demonstration and experimental research.

The magnetic energy group is responsible for the part of the outer helical magnetic field, and its work is to combine the design of the tokamak’s “imperfect magnetic field” with the outer magnetic field of the strong annihilation force field.

etc.

Wang Hao is in charge of the main design work, and the team has also arranged his own manpower, namely Ding Zhiqiang, Yan Jing, Xiao Xinyu and Luo Dayong.

In the past few months, Ding Zhiqiang has been working in the anti-gravity form research center, participated in a lot of experimental research on the front line, and has an intuitive understanding of the annihilation force field experiment.

Ding Zhiqiang also participated in the design of the nuclear fusion device this time.

Wang Hao is looking forward to Ding Zhiqiang's contribution in terms of "inspiration" to help advance the progress of the design of nuclear fusion devices.

Both Yan Jing and Xiao Xinyu belong to "one of my own".

They are all old people in the anti-gravity form research center. They have a deep understanding of the anti-gravity field, the thin layer of the strong annihilation force field, and F-rays. They can give a lot of help whether it is experiment or design.

Wang Hao asked Yan Jing to join the design team, and he also wanted her to be an 'assistant'.

Chen Mengmeng is Wang Hao's first assistant, but she also has a lot of work. Most of the time she has to help deal with information, scholar exchanges and other affairs, so she can no longer participate in design work.

Yan Jing joined the design team and can be responsible for the planning and recording of meetings, and can also report the research progress of other teams at any time, etc.

Luo Dayong is incidental.

Wang Hao just wants to have a few more "his own people" in the design team, not all old academicians and old researchers. Luo Dayong, who focuses on theoretical work and has in-depth research on complexity argumentation, may be able to promote the design work .

certainly.

This definitely has nothing to do with Zhu Ping, who is so enthusiastic that Wang Hao has a headache.

After the framework of the nuclear fusion device design team was set up, Wang Hao also came to the research base, convened all the members of the design team and the leaders of each research team, and held the first research meeting.

Many people who heard the news subconsciously thought that it was a personnel meeting. The research team had just been formed, and there was still some shortage of manpower. That is, everyone got together to get to know each other, and then said a few words of encouragement to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for work. .

That's all.

After they entered the meeting room, they found that it was completely different from what they had imagined.

On the projection screen in the meeting room, a frame of a design draft has appeared. It is a large circular device with many pipes drawn underneath.

When it came to design work, they knew the frame could be a fusion device.

After everyone came to the meeting room, Wang Hao also sat in the main seat and said, "Normally speaking, the research team has just been established, and everyone may have just come to Xihai, and the first meeting is to get acquainted.

"We are not doing research that races against time, and it seems that we don't need to worry too much."

"However, I hope that the design can be completed quickly, and the next step can be entered quickly, so that the nuclear fusion device can be manufactured faster."

"Research is not a race against time, but I don't like wasting time."

"Let's see..."

After Wang Hao finished speaking, he went directly to the explaining state.

All the participants were a little dazed. They didn't expect to go straight to work at the first meeting, and they were not even prepared for it.

They have been feeling in their hearts, "As expected of Academician Wang Hao!"

"Sharp and resolute!"

"I don't procrastinate at all in doing things. Perhaps it is this kind of work attitude that can complete so much research..."

Yan Jing, Ding Zhiqiang, Luo Dayong and others have long been used to it.

Wang Hao has always been like this. To do research is to do research, to enter the topic cleanly, and to finish the research as soon as possible.

Nothing else matters.

Many people in the outside world and even in the research group believe that nuclear fusion design work is a persistent research that may last for several years.

But they think...

Maybe, soon.

How fast is hard to say.

"If you don't encounter unsolvable problems, about one year...is it enough?" Xiao Xinyu made a judgment after thinking.

"Half a year, almost." Yan Jing said.

Luo Dayong kept his head silent, no one knew what he was thinking.

Ding Zhiqiang...

He was clutching his head hard, thinking painfully about a question, "Why should I join the nuclear fusion design team? When will I be able to escape from the clutches of Mr. Wang Hao..."
