Great Country Academician

Chapter 439 Nuclear Fusion Aircraft Carrier?

For this paper on room temperature superconducting materials uploaded on Arxiv.

Xu Chuan did not draw conclusions easily, but read the paper over and over again, thinking about the synthesis technology and various superconducting parameters inside.

Even if this synthesis method looks abnormally 'outrageous' and 'crude', he cannot easily draw conclusions.

Maintaining consistent rigor in scientific research is an essential motto in the life of a scientific researcher.

Rubbing his eyes, Xu Chuan moved his body and leaned back on the back of the chair.

Judging from the papers on arxiv, the data of the normal-temperature superconducting material KL-66 uploaded from South Korea this time is not very complete, and many things are missing.

It gave him the feeling that it was uploaded in a hurry without any preparations.

In other words, it is a bit similar to the "Minke" kind, in order to create a big news in order to stir up popularity and traffic.

To be honest, it's no surprise that he has this idea.

After all, whether it is in the field of scientific research or other fields, the various "fake news" that broke out in South Korea can be said to be the norm.

The importance of room temperature superconducting materials is beyond doubt.

If it happens, it's a world-changing achievement.

In terms of importance to human development, it may not be comparable to controllable nuclear fusion technology.

But normal temperature superconductivity represents a change in the way of energy transmission and storage, and the peak of energy utilization efficiency. And it will greatly advance the development of all areas that are common in today's society.

If the room temperature superconducting material is realized before the controllable nuclear fusion technology is realized, it can also greatly reduce the difficulty of developing controllable nuclear fusion technology.

It can be said that in terms of flow and heat, this is a field that is hardly inferior to controllable nuclear fusion technology.

It is not impossible for that country to use room temperature superconducting materials to attract a wave of attention.

So it's not unreasonable for him to have this suspicion.

Of course, the specific situation still has to be verified through experiments.

But before he got up, another push from the arxiv website popped up on the display.

"Superconductor LK-66 Exhibits Suspension at Room Temperature and Atmospheric Pressure and Its Mechanism"

Xu Chuan opened it and took a look, with a hint of surprise and doubt in his eyes.

Although the title and overview are somewhat different, they are also papers in the field of room temperature superconducting materials, and they are also uploaded by South Korean researchers. Is there any difference in the content?

Is it impossible to upload a paper twice?

Suddenly, he noticed the author's signature of this arxiv paper.

Unlike the previous paper, this paper has six author signatures, while the previous one only had three.

This situation aroused his curiosity.

Lightly clicking the mouse with his index finger, he downloaded the second paper as well.

Somewhat surprisingly, the second paper is much more detailed than the first paper. It not only lists the relevant preparation methods, but also attaches a complete test report and experimental data for this KL-66 room temperature superconducting material.

From this perspective, the second paper is more like something uploaded by a serious scientific researcher.

"interesting."

Looking at the two different papers, Xu Chuan stroked his chin and began to think.

Judging from the second paper, the mechanism and experimental data of this KL-66 room temperature superconducting material are almost perfectly in line with the detection data of superconducting materials, and it does not seem to be fake data.

From this point of view, if you substitute it in, the first article may not be a problem.

The first paper and the second paper may be to compete for scientific research results?

After all, according to the rules of academia, many awards are awarded to the first person to propose or make this achievement.

For example, the Nobel Prize is not only awarded to the first person to make a result, but also limits the number of winners to a maximum of three.

The Nobel Prize has never been awarded to groups. Even if he led the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project to develop controllable nuclear fusion technology, the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project will not win the Nobel Prize.

Of course, if Xu Chuan disassembled all the major problems in controllable nuclear fusion technology and announced them alone, or in the form of two or three people, there would be no problem at all in winning the Nobel Prizes in the past four or five years.

Whether it is the control model of plasma turbulence, or the first wall material, or technologies such as tritium self-sustainment, they are all stable and stable Nobel Prize-level achievements.

But he can't do that.

However, this room temperature superconducting material called KL-66 is really possible.

It doesn't need it to be able to maintain the superconducting phenomenon stably, it doesn't need it to be a commercial product or something, just need to prove that it has superconducting properties, then the discoverer won the Nobel Prize is a proper thing.

If this is the case, it is not surprising that such a paper is published twice.

The previous paper was obviously published first in order to preempt the results of the Nobel Prize.

If there is no opinion, there should be news about accusations, hair pulling, etc. soon.

Xu Chuan, who has lived for two lifetimes, is no stranger to this kind of thing.

Of course, what he is interested in is not these things, but whether this KL-66 room temperature superconducting material can really be reproduced and has superconducting properties.

If this is true, combined with the room-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material he has not released yet, what it means is already obvious.

This is enough to show that there is not only one route in the field of room temperature superconducting materials.

It also means that human beings' previous understanding of materials science has largely gone astray.

With interest, Xu Chuan got up quickly, ready to go to the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute to do a replica experiment by himself.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, he is currently very interested in the synthesis of this simple room temperature superconducting material.

If it is confirmed to be true, it means that materials science may usher in a super big turn, and it can even be said to be a "turn around" development.

But as soon as he walked out of the office door, he bumped into the full-time staff who had been arranged by the senior management to come over to discuss matters with him.

"Academician Xu, are you in a hurry? How about we come back another day?"

With another colleague, Gao Hongming just rushed to the door of the office when he saw Xu Chuan walking out in a hurry.

Seeing Gao Hongming, Xu Chuan stopped for a while.

If there were no accidents, the high-level discussion meeting had already been held on some matters that he had discussed with the old man before.

This efficiency is quite fast.

After thinking about it, Xu Chuan said, "It's not urgent. Since you are here, let's chat with you first."

As he spoke, he turned and returned to the office.

The verification of the KL-66 room-temperature superconducting material will take at least three days to produce the first batch of replica materials if the experimental procedures in those two papers are followed.

The news has just been delivered, so it's not in a hurry. In addition, the re-enactment experiment is quite simple, and he doesn't have to do it himself. It is actually enough to ask Fan Pengyue to arrange two researchers to conduct the re-enactment experiment.

It's just that this road, if there is hope, will be a whole new track.

Bringing the two into his office, Xu Chuan made a pot of tea and handed the cups to the two.

Gao Hongming took the teacup with both hands, put it on the tea table, and introduced: "Academician Xu, this is my colleague, Comrade Wen Yuanhang from the Strategic Planning Department of Science and Technology Department. Due to my personal work transfer, the above arrangement Comrade Wen took over as the auxiliary management of the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project where I worked before."

"Including the subsequent transformation and reorganization of Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Engineering Research Institute, Comrade Wen will also cooperate with you to carry out."

Xu Chuan nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello to the middle-aged man who looked very scholarly in front of him: "Hello."

Wen Yuanhang smiled gently, shook hands, and said, "I've heard about Academician Xu's name for a long time, and I finally have the chance to meet him today."

"The higher-ups attach great importance to your opinions, and ordered our science and technology department to cooperate with you in the work. After a meeting and research, arrange for me to come over here to help you with some daily tasks, and I will trouble you to take care of it in the future."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "As for the daily management work, I will have to trouble you more in the future. I am just a scholar here, and I am good at scientific research, and the management has to be left to professionals."

Wen Yuanhang nodded and said: "Academician Xu, please rest assured. I am here to assist you in your work. If you have any questions, please feel free to tell me."

Xu Chuan nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I will trouble you from now on."

Seeing that the two had gotten to know each other, Gao Hongming on the side continued, "Academician Xu, we are here this time mainly for three things."

"The first one is the transformation and reorganization of the Qixia Controllable Nuclear Fusion Project, which will be carried out by Wen Yuanhang with your cooperation. As for the name and location of the reorganized research institution, do you have any suggestions, Academician Xu? "

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan thought for a while, and said, "As for the name, how about the 'Xinghai' Research Institute? After all, our dream is the sea of ​​stars."

Wen Yuanhang smiled, nodded and said, "It's a very dreamy name, what about the site selection? Academician Xu, do you have any suggestions?"

Neither he nor Gao Hongming had any objection to the name Xinghai Research Institute.

Naming this kind of thing is a trivial matter. As long as this person doesn't choose a name that is too outrageous to promote, the higher-ups won't care too much.

What's more, the name Xinghai Research Institute is indeed very good.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuan asked: "The demonstration reactor will be reorganized into a fusion energy company in the future, and is there any follow-up arrangement for the experimental reactor engineering base?"

Gao Hongming: "There is no specific arrangement for the experimental reactor engineering base. It will probably be merged into Fusion Energy Company in the future. However, it is not a problem to separate it separately. Academician Xu, are you going to put the Xinghai Research Institute in the experiment?" A pile of engineering bases?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "This is the best arrangement."

"The experimental reactor engineering base has a complete research institute and numerous research equipment, including key fusion laboratories."

"Although it does not occupy a large area, the Qixia Mountain behind and the surrounding sites have sufficient expansion potential and can be supplemented at any time. Putting the Xinghai Research Institute here can not only avoid large-scale relocation, but also maximize Start related research work at a fast speed."

Wen Yuanhang nodded, and said: "Yes, I will communicate with the higher-ups in the follow-up. From the current point of view, there should be no major problems."

On the side, Gao Hongming continued: "The second thing is about the construction of a large-scale strong particle collider."

"After discussions with the senior leaders, the approval of relevant projects has been approved. But I have to trouble Academician Xu to go to the capital to have a meeting to discuss it. After all, we have to build a large energy level, what scale, and what is needed. Supporting equipment particle collider, these follow-up needs to be discussed."

Xu Chuan nodded and said with a smile: "These are all fine, I will make a rough plan document later."

Nodding his head, Gao Hongming continued: "Finally, Academician Xu, you mentioned the development of aerospace technology and restarting the manned moon landing. Regarding this matter, the above has also approved it."

"According to the instructions of the higher-ups, the development of aerospace technology and the work of manned moon landing will be merged into the soon-to-be-established Xinghai Research Institute. You will be the chief engineering designer. What do you think? "

After a slight pause, he continued: "Of course, if you have too many things to deal with and your energy is limited, there is no problem."

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "That's no problem. The Xinghai Research Institute was established not just to study the second-generation and third-generation and small-scale controllable nuclear fusion technology."

"Generally speaking, Xinghai Research Institute will be a comprehensive research institution in the future. In addition to continuing in-depth research in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, research work in aerospace technology, materials, information and other aspects is also planned and arranged."

"As for time and energy, I don't have any big problems here. Whether it's the construction of the particle collider or the leadership of the Xinghai Research Institute, these can be done step by step."

He was not surprised by the above arrangement, nor did he reject it.

Whether it is for him, or for the higher-ups, this is necessary.

Although he is not a professional in the field of aerospace, his research in the fields of mathematical physics, materials science and astronomy is enough to support him to lead and preside over the work in this area.

Gao Hongming nodded, and said with a smile: "According to the arrangement of the high-level, I will trouble you, Academician Xu, for the work and research. Relevant documents such as appointment and project approval will be sent later."

Xu Chuan said with a smile: "Trouble is nothing, I have to thank the country for giving me this opportunity. After all, these are my dreams."

Gao Hongming smiled and said, "By the way, Academician Xu, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your opinion."

Xu Chuan: "Please tell me."

Gao Hongming: "With regard to the controllable nuclear fusion reactor, does it have the potential to be placed on an aircraft carrier to provide power for the aircraft carrier?"
