Galaxy Technology Empire

April is approaching.

Huang Junjie has left the secret laboratory and arrived at the X-ray laser base in Luhe County.

"Boss, this is the status report of our experiments these days. Please take a look." Fang Fang handed a stack of experimental briefings to Huang Haojie.

Huang Junjie glanced at the experiment in progress and started reading the experimental briefing.

Starting from January 2018 to the end of March.

The X-ray base has conducted a total of 134 large and small experiments, using X-ray lasers for a total of 1,127 hours, and spending a total of 2.9 billion yuan.

Experiments were conducted on iron-copper alloys, iron-lead alloys, carbon steel, copper alloys, iron-silver alloys, etc.

Although these experiments did not bring a lot of practical results, they greatly promoted the basic science and materials science of Galaxy Technology.

Soon he discovered that in the iron-silver alloy, they mentioned temporary superconducting properties in the experimental materials.

This iron-silver alloy was deliberately inserted into the experimental project to lead to the next room-temperature superconductor.

"Equation! Among the ten alloy experiments I arranged last time, does this iron-silver alloy really show short-term superconducting properties?" Huang Haojie asked, pointing to one of the briefings.

"Yes! Boss, among the ten alloy experiments you explained, four of the iron-silver and iron-copper alloys showed short-term superconducting properties. Among them, the superconducting properties of the No. 2 iron-silver alloy lasted for about 3 minutes." Equation answered with some excitement.

After all, this is a superconductor, and it can be a superconductor at room temperature.

The equation goes on to say:

"We then repeated the experiment twice more and confirmed that all four samples had short-lived room-temperature superconducting properties."

Huang Junjie pulled out the experiment briefing for No. 2 iron-silver alloy and took out the scratch paper.

The composition ratio of the iron-silver alloy was adjusted to create six formulas.

Then the experimental laser power, magnetic field, air pressure, temperature, etc. were readjusted.

"According to the experimental plan I designed, experiment one by one."

After Fang Fang took Huang Junjie's scratch paper, he nodded quickly:

"no problem."

…

After more than a week of intensive experimentation.

Huang Junjie and Fang Fang looked at the compiled experimental briefing.

"Boss! I feel like we have entered the door of room-temperature superconductors." Fang Fang said excitedly while looking at one of the experimental reports.

The iron-silver alloy in this report can maintain a superconducting state at room temperature for more than 2 hours.

"It's still early! Have you discovered that there is a pattern in the proportion of silver?" Huang Junjie listed the proportions of silver in the six formulas.

I quickly studied the equation carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more I felt that there was indeed a certain pattern in it.

Silver content of 2% (normal temperature superconductor state for 41 minutes), silver content of 2.5% (normal temperature superconductor state for 53 minutes), silver content of 3% (normal temperature superconductor state for 62 minutes);

The silver content is 3.5% (normal temperature superconductor state for 83 minutes), the silver content is 4% (normal temperature superconductor state is 141 minutes), and the silver content is 4.5% (normal temperature superconductor state is 97 minutes).

"Obviously the normal temperature superconducting state of iron-silver alloy should have a peak range between 3.5 and 4.5% silver content." Equation raised his head and said.

"That's right! We will next conduct more detailed experiments on the silver content range of 3.5 to 4.5%."

After Huang Junjie finished speaking, he and Fang Fang continued to refine the silver content ratio of the iron-silver alloy, as well as adjust the experimental laser power, temperature, magnetic field, air pressure, etc.

…

Buzzing... amidst the slight humming sound, powerful X-rays are destroying the iron-silver alloy in the reactor.

Under the cooperation of special magnetic field, temperature, and air pressure, the physical properties of iron-silver alloy mutate silently.

Huang Junjie looked at the situation in the surveillance screen. He knew that they were not far away from a room-temperature superconductor that could exist for a long time.

The equation on the side was also very excited and nervous.

During this period, the X-ray laser base gave up other scientific research projects and concentrated on the development of room temperature superconductors.

The silver content of the iron-silver alloy has been accurately determined by them to be between 3.746 and 3.747%, and the superconducting state at room temperature can be maintained for 864 hours (a specially designed rapid detection method).

However, it can only maintain a superconducting state at room temperature for 864 hours, which does not meet Huang Haojie's requirements.

After all, 864 hours can only last 36 days, and this normal temperature superconducting state does not mean that it will not decline if you don’t use it; regardless of whether you use it or not, its normal temperature superconducting state will decline when time is up.

Huang Haojie calls this situation "deconduction." In fact, after deconduction, the iron-silver room-temperature superconductor does not really lose its superconducting properties, but seems to be hidden.

After deconducting, the iron-silver room-temperature superconductor can be irradiated with X-ray laser again, and the room-temperature superconducting state can be restored.

The problem is, if the room-temperature superconductor has been made into a finished product such as a circuit, it cannot be remade every 36 days, right? Obviously, it is not convenient or economical to do so.

After all, Huang Haojie does not plan to sell room-temperature superconductors to outsiders. He cannot cheat himself on things he uses.

"Boss! Time's up!" Fang Fang reminded

"Let the robot take out the sample." Huang Haojie ordered.

"Robot team, take out the sample."

"receive!"

After the four reactors rotated one position, the freshly produced iron-silver room-temperature superconductors were taken out by industrial robots.

The transport robot transports four pieces of room-temperature superconductors that have just come out, passing through layers of isolation layers.

Came to a testing room.

The inspectors, who were already wearing heavy protective clothing, quickly put one piece into the special inspection instrument.

Beep...another inspector, pressing rows of buttons.

Half an hour later.

Fang Fang held a test report and ran over excitedly:

"Boss! Good news!"

"How long is the maintenance time?" Huang Junjie was still immersed in adjusting the experimental parameters.

"Sample No. 248 has reached 2470 hours! More than a hundred days!" Fang Fang said with excitement, his face flushed.

Huang Haojie said expressionlessly: "It's not enough! It must have a service life of at least 30,000 hours before it can be put into use."

Gulu! Fang Fang was already accustomed to Huang Junjie's pursuit of perfection, but the 30,000-hour service life still made him nervous and full of fighting spirit.

Huang Junjie ignored the anxiety of the equation and handed the other party a parameter adjustment plan:

"Follow my adjustment plan and prepare four more samples."

The equation, who had just woken up from a dream, quickly took over.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

…

April 27th.

The experiments at the X-ray base are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

Huang Junjie has been staying here for more than a month.

However, with the assistance of "Zhong", Huang Haojie has more control over Galaxy Technology. Not only is the workload greatly reduced, but the quality and efficiency of the work are several times higher than before.

But at this time Huang Junjie was in distress.

Because room-temperature superconductors have entered a bottleneck period in the past few days, their service life has been stuck at about 14,000 hours.

He had made it according to the method in his memory, but he didn't know what went wrong. The service life of the normal temperature superconductor has been stuck at 14,000 hours.

The equation on the side is also scratching his hair in distress, but in the past few days, they have adjusted the areas that should be adjusted, but they still can't see where the problem lies.

Could it be that the limit of iron-silver room-temperature superconductors is 14,000 hours?
