Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

For the power sector and rail transportation, the heads of these two fields came together with the old leader, which was in line with most people's expectations.

The person in charge of the communications department also came along, which made it seem a little special.

"Chief Master Mo, congratulations on your achievement that has attracted worldwide attention."

"Room temperature superconducting materials are another key technological breakthrough that is no less significant than controllable nuclear fusion technology."

"Since the Qiusuo Research Institute and you, Chief Master Mo, our entire world has been changing rapidly every day in the past twenty or thirty years."

"As far as I'm concerned, there's no need to move a Times Research Institute brand to the Qiusuo Research Institute. There needs to be one for controllable nuclear fusion technology, and one for room-temperature superconducting materials."

After the old leader and several others visited,

Accompanied by Qiusuo Research Institute, we briefly visited several key laboratories of Qiusuo Research Institute and then headed to the conference room.

At this moment, although the number of researchers at Qiusuo Research Institute has temporarily stabilized, it has stabilized at around 100,000.

But the scope is basically equivalent to a relatively large town.

In order to facilitate the exchange of internal researchers, and also to ensure a quiet environment inside the Qiushu Research Institute.

The Qiusuo Research Institute also has its own internal rail transit underground, but it avoids the location of some sophisticated laboratories.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the visiting senior leaders and others to tour the entire Qiusuo Research Institute.

In a small conference room,

Mo Dao had this exchange with the old leaders.

After simple greetings,

The two parties took their seats and got down to business.

The main content is the third material.

On this matter, both parties have a consensus.

Just like the previous controllable nuclear fusion technology,

The third material is also something that needs to be widely used to exert its greatest effect.

As for the technology produced by the Research Institute, the natural and most direct place of action is in China.

Whether it is Qiusuo Research Institute's own production and sales, or technology licensing,

It is not the purpose of Qiusuo Institute to keep the third material completely in its own hands.

The Qiushi Research Institute needs a strong home planet, or a social and industrial foundation.

Of course, for China,

Regardless of whether Qiusuo Research Institute chooses to produce and sell it itself, or license the technology,

On a national level, it doesn't matter.

From a more macro perspective, this process is actually about seeking to use room-temperature superconducting materials to increase social productivity to a certain extent, and then obtain the right to allocate productivity and resources for the entire society.

At this moment, the Qiusuo Research Institute and the authorities are almost tied together.

To some extent, Qiusuo Research Institute has hijacked the scientific and technological development direction of the entire society and even the entire world.

After almost a simple two-sentence conversation,

The two parties decided on how to popularize third materials.

The higher-ups helped the Institute to build a subordinate room-temperature superconducting material production department.

The room-temperature superconducting materials produced by this production department are then sold in a normal commercial manner to other departments that need room-temperature superconducting materials.

As for the distribution of profits, in terms of room temperature superconducting materials, there is no need to make profits.

For a country, all it needs is the room temperature superconducting material itself. With room temperature superconducting materials, room temperature superconducting materials can gain benefits in various fields.

Just like controllable nuclear fusion technology, the biggest benefit for a country is not selling electricity.

And the heads of several departments who came with the old leader,

He also briefly mentioned it to Mo Dao. Various departments have some plans for the application of third materials.

Of course, these plans themselves also hope to refer to the opinions of Mo Dao, the chief engineer of the Research Institute.

Although the plans proposed by the power sector and rail transit sector are grand in scale, they are basically in line with most people's expectations.

The power sector hopes that

Use third materials to at least gradually replace the main transmission lines in the existing power network.

also,

Previously, due to power transmission problems,

In recent years, after the popularization of controllable nuclear fusion commercial reactors, China has tried to export electricity to the outside world.

We are forced to consider building many large-scale fusion commercial reactors outside China.

Now, if the third material, a room temperature superconducting material, can be popularized in power transmission lines,

There is no need to consider building large-scale commercial reactors outside China. Just lay the power network directly from China.

The head of the power department,

I also hope to know the production cost of the third material and the issue of synthesis confidentiality.

Needless to say the latter,

In the case of large-scale application, it is impossible not to leak the third material.

The former problem is more direct. If the production cost is too high, even if the power sector has been rich in recent years,

That's not worth it either.

"Once the third material is obtained, it may take about eight to ten years for other parties outside China to master the synthesis path and industrial production."

Mo Dao gave a relatively conservative estimate.

The reason why the estimated time is far longer than the actual synthesis time by Qiusuo Research Institute.

First, when researching the institute's material synthesis path, there was the direct participation of Mo Dao, a man who made breakthroughs in superconducting theory.

Second, the materials research team of the Qiusuo Research Institute has previously tried to synthesize a large number of by-products from Modao research over the years.

It is hard to say that this part of the experience that other research teams did not play a role in the synthesis process.

Finally and the key point,

More than 20 years have passed since the realization of deuterium and tritium fusion technology, and more than 30 years have passed since the establishment of Qiusuo Research Institute.

In the field of materials research, there is a clear gap between China's current materials technology and other parties.

Eight to ten years is relatively optimistic.

What is not very optimistic is that Qiusuo Research Institute is still making slow progress when it comes to the status of 026 materials.

Listening to the estimate given by Mo Dao,

The person in charge of the power department and the old leader calculated the time.

nodded.

In fact, even if it does happen someday in the future, other parties will come up with a synthesis path for the third material.

There is another big killer on the Chinese side.

The upgrades in industry and productivity in recent years have been comprehensive.

Even if someone else builds it one day, China's manufacturing cost can be lower and more, and it can completely cover the other party.

"In terms of manufacturing cost, although the synthesis path is relatively complicated, under the current industrial level, the production cost is still relatively low. After mass production, it should be able to meet the demand for laying power transmission networks."

"For more specific figures, a more specific calculation may be needed."

Hearing Mo Dao say this,

The person in charge of the power department has already been determined.

No further inquiries were made.

The words "Mo Dao" are enough.

after,

The person in charge of the rail transit field also briefly talked about the next plan for the rail transit field.

It did not disappoint many people. Plans in the rail transit field,

It is to gradually replace the current rail trains with maglev trains based on room temperature superconducting materials.

The first step of the plan is to replace the inter-regional rail transit in the three-level rail transit network.

Although this cost is bound to be huge, the benefits it brings are also obvious.

The productivity of this era can also afford such a major update of infrastructure.

Finally, there is the head of the communications department.

A somewhat special plan was given.
