Chapter 403 The ceiling in the material world

"After discussion, we agreed that the research direction based on the weak copper-oxygen interaction of the Richter research team has merits, so we plan to start here and try to experimentally synthesize the material." Xu Yun was seen in the laboratory Sun Zhenghong came over and immediately described his next research direction and plans.

Xu Yun naturally had no objection to Sun Zhenghong's analysis, but it was a waste of time to just try and make mistakes.

Since he has completed most of the progress through brain overclocking, he must complete it as soon as possible.

At least it's more efficient.

It can be said that Sun Zhenghong and other project members in front of them have been carefully selected, so there is no need to pay special attention to anything.

In this case, Xu Yun did not show off and directly told everyone his plan.

"Actually, I have developed several synthesis methods, but whether the material can meet the requirements of room-temperature superconductivity still requires experiments."

If we say that the overall progress of the project to conquer room temperature superconducting materials is 100%.

Then with the help of brain overclocking, the progress has basically been pushed to 70%.

It will even be higher.

But it’s not easy to complete the remaining 30 percent.

Xu Yun relied on his own strength to determine several synthesis methods by simulating the subsequent progress. Through specific experiments with these methods, new material crystals can be obtained.

Although it still needs to be tested whether it has room-temperature superconductivity, it will be much more efficient than what Sun Zhenghong and others are doing now.

When Sun Zhenghong heard what Xu Yun said, he was very surprised.

Obviously didn't think of this.

But soon he found a reason to feel relieved.

The next second he secretly asked excitedly: "Tell me the truth, have you been studying room temperature superconductivity for a long time?"

In his opinion, Xu Yun's ability to determine the synthesis method of materials so quickly must be because he had spent time doing research before. Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, he would not be able to do so quickly.

Especially when I think of this room-temperature superconducting material project, which was proposed by Xu Yun on his own initiative.

This further proved his suspicion.

Maybe Xu Yun already has a good idea of ​​room-temperature superconducting materials.

That’s why we publicly promised the time at the press conference.

It all clicked.

To be honest, he was really worried before, especially when asked by reporters at the project conference and promised to conquer room temperature superconductivity within a year.

I was afraid that I would not be able to fulfill my promise by then, which would affect Xu Yun.

But now it seems that there is no need to worry too much.

"I don't have much confidence in these methods. It's a bit premature to be happy now."

Xu Yun didn't say anything, he just talked to the other party with a faint smile on his lips.

Naturally, Sun Zhenghong would not expose it, and seemed to understand it tacitly.

"It doesn't matter."

"Even if the synthesized material does not have room-temperature superconducting properties, it can still give us experience."

"I can't wait to hear what you say."

Several other project member professors standing around listened to the conversation between the two, and even though they did not speak, they were very excited.

Because according to their original project research plan, even with Richter's paper as a reference, they would not be able to enter the specific synthesis experiment stage of materials in a short time.

It was equivalent to Xu Yun directly saving them a lot of time.

In this way, there will naturally be more opportunities to successfully conquer room-temperature superconducting materials within one year.

Speaking of which, Xu Yun would definitely not hesitate any longer.

Then he took out several material synthesis methods that he had completed, and their ideas were very advanced.

When Sun Zhenghong and others saw this information, they all felt like they had found a treasure.

Not caring about his image as an academician and professor, he started studying it carefully on the spot.

And when I encounter something I don’t quite understand, I will always ask Xu Yun for advice.

They all know Xu Yun's strength and achievements in the material world. If they can get Xu Yun's guidance and guidance, it will be very worthwhile to participate in this project even if they fail to conquer room temperature superconducting materials in the end.

In addition to wanting to develop room-temperature superconducting materials, Xu Yun also hopes that domestic scientific researchers can reach a higher level.

In the future, I will be solely responsible for the project.

In a sense, it can be regarded as cultivating scientific research talents for the country.

Mainly because there are so many advanced technologies, we can't just rely on him to research them, as this would be exhausting to death.

So we must have more talents.

at the same time.

Several postdoctoral assistants in the project team also had questions on their faces when they saw this rare scene.

How can you see the other side of so many academicians and professors in school?

However, after understanding the situation, they were more envious.

After all, who doesn’t want to be taught by Xu Yun.

But with their current level of strength, let alone being taught by Xu Yun, they might not be able to understand many knowledge points.

Still needs precipitation.

"After reading this, I always feel like all the years of knowledge I have learned have been in vain. Sometimes it is really impossible not to admit defeat!"

I don't know how long it had been before Sun Zhenghong took the lead in raising his gaze, not concealing the complex emotions in his eyes at all. The sense of superiority he had accumulated in the material world over the years was gone.

This statement was also recognized by others around him, and they all nodded in agreement after gradually coming back to their senses.

"These methods are so exquisite. It can be said that the study of copper's weak oxygen interaction has reached a new level."

"I have a hunch that room-temperature superconductivity may be based on these methods."

"Academician Xu has brought a big surprise to all of us. I can't wait to try the experiment."

Xu Yun listened to all the words of the people in front of him. Although everyone's behavior was expected, he still maintained his warm and humble persona.

"The specific situation will have to wait until the materials are synthesized and tested."

"If everyone has no problem, let's get started."

"No problem." Everyone nodded in unison after hearing this.

that's all.

In the following period, Xu Yun, Sun Zhenghong and others conducted research and experiments on these synthesis methods.

In order to ensure smooth operation and make the best use of time, Xu Yun, in addition to personally participating in the experiment, still did not forget to answer questions encountered during the material synthesis process.

It will soon be December.

After more than two months of continuous hard work, everyone successfully synthesized several special material crystals according to the method.

It is worth mentioning that they did not stop and test the characteristics of each material after synthesizing it. Instead, they transferred the testing and experimentation of the material to another group.

It fully demonstrates what efficiency is.

After all, it takes time to experiment to understand the comprehensive properties of this material.

It's just a pity that none of the synthesized materials have room-temperature superconducting properties.

The Meissner effect cannot be formed.

Therefore, these materials are all new materials with good properties and can be used in other fields. It is really disappointing that they cannot achieve room-temperature superconductivity.

So much so that it cast a dark cloud over the head of the research team.

In fact, no matter which of the several materials they have synthesized these days is used in other new material research projects, it can be said that they are all relatively significant scientific research achievements.

It can well promote the development of materials field.

But they were stunned and couldn't be happy.

It can only be said that the goals of this project are too high, and everyone begins to look down on these small results.

However, compared to the emotional frustration of others, Xu Yun was very calm about this.

I think this is a relatively normal result.

After all, if room-temperature superconductivity was really so easy to overcome, it wouldn't be called the ultimate problem in the materials world.

It is true that the research on normal-temperature superconducting materials with the help of brain overclocking has reached 70%, but the last 30% is even more difficult.

This also proves how ridiculous it is for overseas people to announce that they have conquered room-temperature superconducting materials.

Fortunately, there is currently a synthetic method being tested, and it is everyone's last hope.

Because if the material crystal synthesized by this method still cannot form the Meissner effect, then there is a high probability that the current research direction is not working, and previous efforts need to be overthrown and restarted.

This is a blow to the entire research team.

After all, everyone is very motivated right now, so they can figure out how to synthesize several materials so quickly.

If your mood is dominated by depression, it is definitely something no one wants to see.

"The heating time is up, take out the crystal."

December 5, 2028, Tuesday, Laboratory of School of Materials, Jingzhou University.

Xu Yun counted the time, looked at the equipment that was heating the mixture and spoke in a deep voice.

A professor next to him who had been impatient for a long time immediately stepped forward to stop the equipment and take out the synthesized crystals inside.

As the sight fell into the crucible, a gray crystal the size of a fingernail caught the eye. Although it looked inconspicuous, no one present dared to look down upon it.

As the only remaining crystal obtained through a synthetic method, it can be said that it has inherited everyone's hopes.

If the Meissner effect can really occur, it will definitely become a miracle in the materials world.

It seems that the synthesis method of the crystal in front of me is not complicated.

It is nothing more than putting several powdered materials together and heating them to high temperatures to cause a chemical reaction.

The main component is apatite.

However, the ratio of these material powders is particularly important and requires constant debugging to obtain ideal crystals.

It is also worth mentioning that the reason why the synthetic material is only the size of a fingernail is to save time and avoid wasting resources.

First of all, more such crystals can definitely be synthesized in laboratories, but if they are not sure whether the materials are useful, if too many are synthesized for the first time, they will all become waste products.

The key is that it takes longer.

The gain outweighs the loss.

The current size is enough for feature testing experiments.

"It finally worked. I hope such a little thing can give us a surprise."

At this time, Sun Zhenghong used tweezers to take out the crystal from the crucible. Perhaps thinking of the previous experiments, he couldn't help but said something with expectation and emotion.

Then Li Youzhi, who had just walked in from outside, took the crystal and quickly said:

"Professors from Xu Academy, Sun Academy, and others, we will get the detailed data on this crystal as soon as possible."

Regarding the testing of material crystals, Li Youzhi's team has always been responsible for it. Relatively speaking, it has relatively rich experience. At least there will definitely be no data errors.

Therefore, everyone present believed it very much. After hearing this, they just nodded and waited patiently for the result.

Since being comforted by Xu Yun last time, Li Youzhi also wants to use his own strength to help everyone complete this project as much as possible.

It can be said that you dare not slack off in any way when doing your own work.

After successfully obtaining the newly synthesized crystal, they turned around and walked towards the laboratory where their team was located without any hesitation, preparing to immediately start comprehensive data testing on the crystal.

After Li Youzhi's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Sun Zhenghong focused his attention on Xu Yun. After a slight hesitation, he finally couldn't help but ask:

"Do you think we can succeed this time?"

As soon as these words came out, several professors, including Wang Sheng, looked at Xu Yun expectantly.

It seems that he really wants to hear the answer he wants from Xu Yun.

Xu Yun's eyes swept across the faces of several people. Although he didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm and confidence, he had to answer truthfully.

"How can it be so easy to conquer room-temperature superconducting materials? Otherwise, it would not be called the ultimate problem in the materials world."

really.

When Sun Zhenghong and the others heard this, their expressions couldn't help but darken.

They are all old men in the material industry, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are the mainstay.

How could one not know the difficulty of room temperature superconductivity?

It's just that I kept a thought in my heart, thinking that with Xu Yun's participation, it might be possible to create a miracle.

Now when I hear Xu Yun say the same thing, I will inevitably feel frustrated.

Xu Yun's words were not nonsense. He knew very well the levels of the several synthesis methods he had developed.

It may be used as a new material in various fields, but it is still far from being able to truly conquer room-temperature superconductivity.

The reason why all experiments are conducted is to obtain materials with properties closest to room-temperature superconductivity.

Then using a scientific simulator based on this material, I believe that the optimization suggestions given will definitely have room temperature superconducting solutions.

By then solving room temperature superconductivity will not be a problem.

As for Sun Zhenghong, Wang Sheng and others, they don't know about scientific simulators, and their eyes are showing frustration at the moment.

There was even a hint of worry.

Originally, when he learned that Xu Yun had developed several synthesis methods, he thought that room-temperature superconductivity could be completed within the promised time.

Who would have thought that the crystals obtained by several synthetic methods have all failed.

If we redefine the research direction next and rely solely on the remaining ten months to conquer room temperature superconductivity, it may become very difficult.

Xu Yun will also break his promise by then, resulting in a decline in influence.

"Is the direction based on copper's weak oxygen interaction wrong and we need to re-study it?"

Under the influence of this atmosphere, Wang Sheng said with some regret, obviously unwilling to accept the overthrow of all previous efforts.

Sun Zhenghong certainly didn't want this to happen, but the facts were in front of him and there was no other way.

"I'm afraid that's most likely the case."

He raised his gaze and glanced at Wang Sheng before sighing and answering.

After listening to all the conversation between the two, Xu Yun also felt that it was necessary to intervene a little.

After all, the research on room-temperature superconducting materials has not yet been completed, so it is unacceptable to continue to be so negative.

After organizing his words a little, he looked at the two of them and said, "I think there is no problem with our current research direction. There may still be problems with the selection of some raw materials."

"Even if it doesn't succeed this time, if we continue to experiment, I believe there will be new progress."

Sun Zhenghong obviously didn't expect Xu Yun to be so confident. He was stunned for two seconds before coming back to his senses.

Then he nodded seriously and said, "With your words, Xu Yuan, I feel more at ease."

Since the crystal test takes a certain amount of time to report the data, naturally no one will wait here. With Xu Yun's words, Sun Zhenghong quickly revived with full health and took everyone to the discussion room.

Prepare to develop new synthesis methods as soon as possible to ensure the current project rhythm.

——

The next day.

When everyone arrived at the laboratory, they found that Li Youzhi and other members of the team were still busy sorting out crystal data reports.

Apparently he stayed up all night.

When he saw everyone coming over, he stood up and picked up a document from the table.

"Fortunately, I fulfilled my mission. I worked overtime at night and finally got the data." Li Youzhi walked up to Xu Yun and Sun Zhenghong and said with a smile.

Xu Yun knew Li Youzhi's character. Although he didn't support this kind of all-night working situation, he didn't say it to his face.

Mainly, your health is the capital of everything. If you often work all night in order to catch up with the progress of the project, you may be afraid that your body will be in trouble, which will further affect the normal progress of the project.

After all, even if someone else is temporarily arranged to take over, it will be difficult to be competent at the job in a short period of time.

Finally, Xu Yun glanced at Li Youzhi, then took the document and lowered his gaze to look at it.

According to the data in the report, this crystal also does not have the Meissner effect.

In other words, it is not a room temperature superconducting material.

Although this situation has been expected for a long time, it is still somewhat disappointing when it is really confirmed.

Of course, Xu Yun did not forget Sun Zhenghong, Wang Sheng and the others next to him, and then took the initiative to hand over the report.

"You guys should take a look too."

To be honest, Sun Zhenghong couldn't wait for a long time. After hearing Xu Yun's words, he quickly took the report and looked at each data very carefully.

After about a few minutes, he handed the report to Wang Sheng and said with emotion:

"Although this crystal does not belong to the category of room-temperature superconducting materials, judging from the test resistance results, its performance is the best among the previous crystals."

"Perhaps as Xu Yuan said, as long as the experiment continues, there will definitely be new progress."

Xu Yun naturally knew what Sun Zhenghong said, and this was the only thing that surprised him.

Now that it is determined that the current crystal is closest to room temperature superconductivity, we can use this as a basis and use a scientific simulator to get optimization suggestions. As long as there are optimization suggestions for room temperature superconductivity, we will be close to truly conquering room temperature superconducting materials. .

After a while, everyone read the report one after another, and the expressions on their faces were different.

But Xu Yun was not in the mood to continue talking at this time, and immediately gave everyone a brief arrangement of today's work content, and hurried back to his office to prepare for scientific simulation.
