The Science Fiction World of Xueba

Pang Xuelin shook his head with a smile, and said, "Based on this theory alone, I don't know how long it will take to win the Nobel Prize."

The Nobel Prize is not a Chinese cabbage. Pang Xuelin was able to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year because he was nominated for his achievements in the fields of carbon nanotubes and graphene.

Then, by coincidence, the lithium-air battery was settled, and it quickly entered industrial production, thereby changing the global industrial structure, so that it could win the Nobel Prize in the year when the results were produced.

Although the current set of superconducting theoretical mechanisms has taken the research of superconductors a big step forward, but to win the Nobel Prize, this set of theories must be verified and significant results obtained on this basis.

In this way, it is normal to delay winning the Nobel Prize for more than ten or twenty years.

"Professor Pang, is there a way for us to deduce the conditions required for room temperature superconducting materials through these formulas?"

At this moment, Zhou Tong spoke up.

Everyone focused their attention on Pang Xuelin.

Zhou Tong got to the crux of the problem.

Whether any new theory is correct or not depends on whether it can predict the existence of certain objective facts.

For example, during the discovery of Neptune, astronomers used the perturbation of Uranus' orbit to infer the existence and possible position of Neptune, and then verified the correctness of the law of universal gravitation.

Another example is that when Einstein proposed the general theory of relativity, it caused great controversy in the physics community. Until the end of World War I in 1919, two expedition teams led by British scientist Eddington took advantage of the opportunity of the transatlantic total solar eclipse to observe, observe Arriving at the phenomenon of light distortion caused by gravity.

Thus verifying the correctness of the general theory of relativity.

Whether Pang Xuelin's new superconducting theory mechanism can predict the existence of some new superconductors is the key to the success of this theory.

Pang Xuelin pondered for a moment, then said: "It is possible. However, it is still very difficult to use this formula to find a new type of superconducting material with certain properties."

"How to say?"

Zhou Tong asked curiously.

Pang Xuelin said: "For example, if we substitute the superconducting transition temperature into it, we can deduce the superconducting condensation energy of a certain superconducting material, the energy difference with the normal state, and its magnetoresistance oscillation ratio. These properties can only be Indirectly help us screen possible superconducting materials, but cannot help us directly identify which material it is."

"Then how should we look for room-temperature superconductors?"

Zhou Tong frowned.

Others also looked at Pang Xuelin suspiciously. After all, Pang Xuelin's real goal was to find room-temperature superconductors.

If relying on this theory alone, it can only be said that human beings have made a big step forward in the long journey of finding room-temperature superconductors. As for when they will be able to find real room-temperature superconductors, no one can say for sure.

Pang Xuelin was not as frowning as the others, and smiled lightly: "I already have a clue about the search for room-temperature superconductors. Here, I would like to thank Professor Cao."

"Thank me?"

Cao Yuan looked at Pang Xuelin in surprise, a little puzzled.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "Professor Cao, it is the graphene superconductivity phenomenon you discovered that provided me with a clue."

Cao Yuan frowned and said: "Although the superconductivity of graphene is a breakthrough, the superconducting transition temperature of graphene superconductors is below the temperature of liquid helium after all, so it has no practical value at all."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said: "During this time, in the process of establishing the theory of superconductivity, I have been thinking about some candidate room temperature superconducting materials that may exist in the future. In fact, I have completed the entire superconductivity last night. building blocks of the introductory theory. Then I spent the night,

Substituting several possible materials into the calculation, it was found that none of them worked. Finally, I suddenly thought of Professor Cao's experiment on graphene superconductivity. Graphene has two superconducting states, one when an electric field is applied at an angle of 1.7 degrees, and at a transition temperature of 4.7K, it exhibits superconducting properties. The other is to apply microwave irradiation at an included angle of 2.5 degrees, and exhibit superconducting properties at a transition temperature of about 5K. So I was thinking, graphene is a two-dimensional material, what if we roll up these graphene? what happens? "

"Circle the graphene..."

Dong Chenglin muttered to himself, suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, looked at Pang Xuelin in disbelief and said, "Professor Pang, what do you mean... carbon nanotubes?"

Pang Xuelin nodded with a smile and said: "To be precise, it is multi-walled carbon nanotubes. So, I quickly substituted the relevant parameters into it, and the calculation results showed that, theoretically speaking, multi-walled carbon nanotubes in a special state , can present a superconducting state at room temperature. This state does not mean that the outside world applies some special conditions to the multi-walled carbon nanotubes, such as applying an electric field or microwave irradiation. It refers to the special configuration of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes Presumably everyone knows that carbon nanotubes are rolled up from graphene materials. Carbon nanotubes rolled up from single-layer graphene materials are called single-walled carbon nanotubes, and carbon nanotubes rolled up from multi-layer graphene materials Carbon nanotubes are multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

"There are many types of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Multi-walled carbon nanotubes with different layers, different tube diameters, and different chiralities will show completely different properties. I have calculated the required Configuration conditions for multi-walled carbon nanotubes..."

The conference room was so quiet that everyone could hear Pang Xuelin dumbfounded.

No one expected that Pang Xuelin actually theoretically found a possible room temperature superconductor.

"Is this the true strength of God Pang?"

Tan Song who was standing at the back whispered to Wei Wenxuan who was beside him.

Although Pang Xuelin said that this is due to the graphene superconductivity phenomenon discovered by Cao Yuan before, everyone understands how difficult it is to associate graphene superconductivity with multi-walled carbon nanotubes and calculate the related configuration through self-created theory.

When Pang Xuelin and Cao Yuan cooperated to find room-temperature superconducting materials, almost everyone thought that this research would not be successful in a short period of time.

After all, scientists have not even reached a unified conclusion on how the superconducting mechanism is produced. It is almost impossible to find a practical room temperature superconductor in the true sense.

No one expected that Pang Xuelin would really succeed.

Even though it has not been verified by experiments, Pang Xuelin can put forward this theory and give a clear material option, which is enough to show how awesome he is.

While Tan Song and Wei Wenxuan sighed, Cao Yuan also looked like he had seen a ghost.

In his mind, Pang Xuelin was already powerful enough. After all, he was able to unify various schools of superconductivity theories and establish a complete mathematical model in such a short period of time.

Relying on this achievement alone, after more than ten or twenty years, a Nobel Prize in Physics will be firmly worn on Pang Xuelin's head.

But he never thought of it. Pang Xuelin actually gave specific material options.

And from Pang Xuelin's tone, it is obvious that he is quite sure about multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

As for Zhou Tong and Dong Chenglin.

Zhou Tong has the expression of a little fan girl, and she doesn't seem to be surprised at Pang Xuelin's ability.

Dong Chenglin gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Shen Pang, you are awesome. I finally understand why your Qiantang Laboratory is so popular. If I hadn't just signed a five-year contract with HKUST, I wouldn't have I have the urge to switch to your front laboratory."

Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "If you want to work in Qiantang Laboratory, you don't need to switch jobs. You can pack up and go to Jiangcheng tomorrow."

"What are you doing in Jiangcheng?"

Zhou Tong looked at Pang Xuelin in a daze.

Cao Yuan on the side explained with a smile: "Don't forget, the Carbon Nanomaterials Research Center under Professor Pang is the world's top carbon nanotube research institution. We want to find the kind of superconducting carbon nanotubes that Professor Pang mentioned. , we have to go to Jiangcheng to cooperate with them."

Only then did everyone suddenly realize.

Pang Xuelin smiled and said: "Professor Cao is right, let's go back and prepare. I will arrange someone to take you to Jiangcheng tomorrow. If you drive to Ye Xing by yourself, Luzhou is not far from Jiangcheng anyway, and the highway will only take a few hours. , Qiantang Laboratory will arrange a place for you to live in."

"Okay, then let's get ready."

Dong Chenglin thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, stepped forward to take a picture of Pang Xuelin's writing on the blackboard, and then said to Wei Wenxuan and Tan Song: "Both of you, remove this whiteboard and replace it with a new one."

"Old Dong, what are you doing?"

Pang Xuelin asked curiously.

Dong Chenglin smiled and said: "Of course it is used for collection. You don't know, the ABC conjecture you made in Paris proves that it has now become a well-known attraction in that hotel, and even half of those blackboard writings have been withheld by the Paris Normal University." When it came down, it became a collection of their library, and half of it was collected by the Chinese Mathematical Society. It’s the same this time, if your theory is verified, this whiteboard may also become a cultural relic in the future.”

Hearing what he said, Zhou Tong, Wei Wenxuan, and Tan Song also stepped forward and took pictures of Pang Xuelin's writing on the blackboard with their mobile phones.

Pang Xuelin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only let them toss.

After confirming the plan to return to Jiangcheng, Pang Xuelin and Cao Yuan went to the principal's office to say goodbye to HKUST principal Lu Dongming.

Afterwards, Pang Xuelin returned to the expert building, Zuo Yiqiu and Zhou Chen had already packed his luggage.

That afternoon, Pang Xuelin returned to Jiangcheng.

The car drove into the garage of the villa. Pang Xuelin got out of the car and came to the door. He found that the door was ajar. He pushed the door open and entered, only to hear a pop, and paper scraps were scattered all over the sky.

Immediately afterwards, because the curtains were drawn, the light in the living room, which was somewhat dim, suddenly turned on.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Amidst the birthday singing, Qi Xin, Yao Bingxia, parents, grandparents all came out from the corner.

Pang Xuelin suddenly felt his eyes moist.

He seldom celebrates his birthday, especially after he got the system, he entered a world for as few as a few years, and often tens or hundreds of years.

Pang Xuelin himself almost forgot when his birthday was.

Especially in the past two years, his work has become more and more busy. On his birthday last year, Yao Bingxia was not with him, so he just called Pang Xuelin to say happy birthday.

Not to mention the year before last, neither of them were together yet.

Pang Xuelin didn't expect that they would give him such a big surprise when he came home today.

But Pang Xuelin quickly reacted and said, "Mom, how do you know I'm coming back today? You also prepared a birthday cake for me in advance?"

Immediately, Pang Xuelin turned his gaze to Zuo Yiqiu who was at the side.

Apart from Zuo Yiqiu leaking the news, there will be no other person.

Zuo Yiqiu stuck out his tongue at him and turned his head away.

At this time, Qi Xin smiled and said, "Alin, don't blame Sister Zuo, it was Xiaoxia and I who wanted to celebrate your birthday. Originally, we wanted to go to the University of Science and Technology to give you a surprise because of your retreat. Sister Zuo called this morning and said that you will be back today, so we might as well hold a birthday party for you at home."

A bright smile appeared on Pang Xuelin's face, and he choked up and said, "Thank you, thank you."

After eating the birthday cake, there will be a big dinner in the evening.

Mei Yuqing, Qi Xin, Yao Bingxia and Zuo Yiqiu all went to the kitchen to help Aunt Zhou.

Pang Xuelin was chatting with his father and grandfather Peng Shaoan in the study.

The three of them talked about the problem of Jinlong battery without knowing it.

"Dad, how is the Jinlong battery doing now?"

Pang Yongnian said: "We have almost reached the point of negotiation with Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Russia, but the United States is still arguing. Now there are two cooperation models. First, Southeast Asia and the Middle East are mainly established by our Golden Dragon Group. The sole-owned production line is the main one. The second is Russia and Europe, which are mainly joint ventures. Not to mention the profit from selling products, the annual patent fee alone exceeds tens of billions of dollars. As for the United States, the old United States requires patent authorization and Sole proprietorship by American capital, our side requires joint ventures, and we are still arguing with each other. But I don’t think the old US can hold on for long. Europe has lifted the restrictions on China’s Wassenaar Agreement. Will the old US block it again? It doesn’t make any sense. And now that there are so many protests in the United States, I think an agreement should be reached within one or two months.”

Pang Yongnian paused, and continued: "In addition, Tesla's Chinese factory has obtained a license, but their Jinlong battery cars can only be sold in our country and are not allowed to be exported. Hongqi, Geely, Weilai and other car companies, Relevant cooperation agreements have also been signed. Now that the global car companies are undergoing a major transformation, gasoline vehicles at home and abroad cannot be sold at all. Now that the international crude oil futures price has fallen to 20 US dollars a barrel, it is estimated that there is still a lot of room for decline. Moreover, COMAC has also begun to reach an agreement with Jinlong Group on the joint development of electric passenger aircraft. Our Xinkai Company is the composite material supplier designated by COMAC, and it should have a bright future. Hehe, Xiaolin, the position of this composite material supplier It's all I talked about..."

At this time, Pang Shaoan said: "Let's talk about your business experience, Xiaolin, I heard that you are engaged in superconductors at the University of Science and Technology. How is the progress now?"

Pang Xuelin said with a smile: "It's okay, there are some eyebrows, as for the next step, it's hard to say now."

Pang Shaoan nodded and said, "Xiao Lin, remember to guard against arrogance and impetuosity. I heard that you are planning to develop an electromagnetic catapult space launch system. Is this reliable?"

Pang Xuelin was taken aback for a moment, looked at Pang Shao'an in surprise and said, "Grandpa, how do you know about this?"
