Chapter 342 What Is It Like to Have a Perverted Boss?

Shaking his head, Song Wenbai put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and began to use the equipment in the laboratory to test the silver-gray copper-carbon-silver composite material in the vessel.

On the side, Xu Chuan took a rest and recovered some energy and walked over.

Although the test of superconducting materials is cumbersome, it is not very complicated.

After all, various experimental equipment are basically fully automatic or semi-automatic nowadays.

For example, here in the Chuanhai Materials Laboratory, there is a complete set of superconducting electromagnetic testing system in the laboratory.

This system consists of instruments for measuring Tc critical temperature and resistance value, Meissner effect measurement equipment, computers, CASSY sensors and other equipment. It can test superconducting materials and can reduce the experimental temperature to about 10K.

Of course, it can only test some basic key data of superconducting materials, such as resistance value, magnetic flux, etc. As for analyzing the fine structure, crystal structure, characterization structure and other aspects of superconducting materials, other equipment is needed.

Under the control of Song Wenbai, the various equipment of the superconducting electromagnetic testing system began to operate, and the computer connected to these equipment projected the relevant data in real time.

The huge display screen is divided into four parts according to the XY axis, each showing different data.

The data of the main performance of superconducting materials such as resistance information value, temperature control system value, magnetic field index value, AC magnetic susceptibility, etc. are all displayed.

As the prepared copper-carbon-silver composite material is placed in the superconducting electromagnetic test equipment, the program set on the computer starts to run.

Liquid nitrogen as low as minus 196℃ begins to be slowly injected into the cooling equipment, rapidly reducing the temperature of the measurement space.

0℃, -50℃, -100℃.

Soon, the temperature in the measurement space has rapidly dropped to below minus 100 degrees.

As the temperature drops, the parameter curves of resistance, temperature control, magnetic field index, etc. on the computer display screen also begin to fluctuate.

The resistance curve begins to slowly decline, from 1.95x10^(-8)Ω·m.

Looking at the slowly decreasing resistance value in front of him, Song Wenbai couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

He couldn't help but think of what Xu Chuan had just said again in his mind.

The critical Tc is reached around 152K.

Is this really possible?

Looking at the temperature control data on the display screen, under the rapid freezing of liquid nitrogen, the temperature in the superconducting electromagnetic test space has dropped to minus 110℃.

This temperature, converted into degrees Kelvin, has reached 163.15K. As long as it drops another 10K, it can reach 152K.

Is it really possible? Inexplicably, a trace of expectation rose in his heart.

Involuntarily, Song Wenbai held his breath and stared at the screen.

The temperature drop from 163.15K to 152K does not take long for the superconducting electromagnetic test system that uses liquid nitrogen as a refrigerant.

After all, the temperature of liquid nitrogen itself has reached -196 degrees Celsius, which is about 77K, which is still a long way from its cooling limit.

On the display screen, the temperature control data dropped little by little, and Xu Chuan also watched the data with bated breath.

152K is the critical Tc data he calculated. If it succeeds, it can really be said to open up a whole new world for high-temperature superconducting materials.

But to be honest, he was not very confident about whether it would succeed.

After all, this breakthrough can be said to have broken the previous way of material research. The structure of superconducting materials is simulated through superconducting mechanism data, and then prepared through experiments.

This is a route that is almost completely different from traditional material research.

As the temperature control data decreased, when the data on the display screen jumped to 155K, the resistance curve still did not change much, and the resistance curve remained steadily decreasing.

However, in the next second.

A miracle appeared!

When the data on the display screen jumped to 153K, the curve that had been maintaining a steady decline, as if jumping off a cliff, directly touched the bottom at an angle of nearly 90 degrees.

Squatting in front of the display screen, Song Wenbo, who was concentrating and holding his breath, saw this scene, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Resistance, is it really zero?"

Looking at the curve that seemed like an electrocardiogram with a broken line, his heartbeat seemed to stop at this moment.

Staring blankly at the screen, Song Wenbo felt that he was a little breathless at this moment.

"How is it possible?"

"How is this possible!"

"152K temperature, really transformed into a superconducting state?"

Mumbling to himself for a few words, he suddenly realized something and turned his head to look at the figure standing behind him.

At this moment, Xu Chuan also had a smile on his face and eyes.

Yes, he succeeded!

In the previous second, the copper-carbon-silver composite film material in the superconducting electromagnetic test system was just a normal conductive material, and in the next second, it had completed the transformation.

At the low temperature of 152K, it successfully achieved the transformation of the zero-resistance superconducting state.

Looking at the data on the display, Xu Chuan's eyes were deep and far-reaching, as if he wanted to see the copper-carbon-silver composite film material in the superconducting electromagnetic test space directly through the void.

There, under the stimulation of the temperature of 152K, the small film atoms were like an army receiving an order, quickly reorganizing the array and forming a new crystal structure.

At this moment, there is no loss in the current passing through it.

Obviously, this is what he has been looking for!

Although the temperature of 152K is not considered high temperature, it can even be said to be extremely low.

But in the history of the development of superconducting materials, relatively speaking, this is undoubtedly an amazing achievement!

In the laboratory, Song Wenbo didn't care about the surprise of the zero resistance of the copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconducting material. He looked at Xu Chuan in horror, as if he was looking at a monster.

After a while, he recovered and asked with difficulty: "How did you do it?"

The 152K high-temperature superconducting material is an amazing achievement in itself.

Since scientists discovered the superconducting property in the last century, the research on superconductors in the materials industry has never stopped.

But to this day, I have never heard of any country, laboratory or research institute that can achieve 152K high-temperature normal-pressure superconductivity.

It itself has broken the historical record of high-temperature superpressure superconducting materials.

As for the iron-based high-temperature superconducting material studied by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Germany, which can be superconducting at minus 23 degrees Celsius, it is not maintained under normal pressure.

It can only maintain superconductivity at minus 23 degrees Celsius under an ultra-high pressure of 170Gpa.

Such harsh conditions can be said to make this material have no practical value other than research value.

Even the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench is only 1,100 atmospheres, while 170Gpa is 1.7 million standard atmospheres.

Such a high pressure has almost no practical value except in the laboratory.

But in contrast, the material he is experimenting with now is under standard atmospheric pressure.

Superconducting at 152K under normal pressure, this parameter will definitely set off a huge wave in the superconducting material industry if it is announced.

What shocked him even more was that before the test began, this person accurately predicted the critical Tc temperature of this copper-carbon-silver composite material.

This means that this person has clearly mastered the data of this superconducting material.

If he had not personally helped in the laboratory and watched the material being made bit by bit, he would have thought that the material was taken from somewhere else and had been tested.

Otherwise, how could he know the superconducting critical Tc before testing?

Hearing Song Wenbo's question, Xu Chuan retracted his gaze from the computer screen, glanced at him, and smiled:

"This is not very difficult. If you can know the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials, plus a little mathematical ability and understanding of the materials themselves, you can also do it."

Hearing this, Song Wenbo was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils condensed into a point again. What did he hear? The superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials?

Unable to help swallowing the air, he asked with a dry mouth: "Have you found the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconductors?"

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "I have to thank you for this. The low-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite material you studied before provided me with some inspiration and ideas."

"Based on those experimental data, I expanded some ideas and theories, and used the laboratory model to optimize the copper-carbon-silver composite material."

"In short, you helped a lot."

Hearing this, Song Wenbo's heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he quickly asked: "You mean, the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconductors was studied by you geniuses?"

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "In theory, it is true, but I have also studied superconducting materials before. Is there any problem?"

Hearing this, Song Wenbo swallowed the air again.

What's the problem?

It's a big problem!

If he remembered correctly, it should have been less than fifteen days since this person got the data of his previous low-temperature copper-carbon-silver superconducting material.

In other words, in less than half a month, he figured out the superconducting mechanism that the superconducting material community had not figured out for half a century!

More importantly, he also used this mechanism + the mathematical model of the Chuanhai Materials Laboratory to redesign the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconducting material!

And it was made!

What kind of perversion is this?

Nobel Prize + Fields General can do whatever they want to solve the problems that others have not been able to solve for half a century?

Or is this the world of geniuses?

Is casual performance and research the key that others can't look up to?

With thousands of thoughts in his mind, Song Wenbai came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and couldn't help asking: "Can I see the superconducting mechanism theory of high-temperature superconductors?"

The superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials can be said that no one who studies superconducting materials, or even no scientific researcher or scholar in the materials industry, can resist refusing. He is no exception.

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "The core point of the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials lies in the 'strong electron correlation' effect, but I didn't bring the paper with me. If you want to read it, I can send you a copy tomorrow."

After a pause, he continued, "It's late today. After tidying up the laboratory, go back and rest. Tomorrow you will lead people to complete the performance test of copper-carbon-silver composite high-temperature superconducting materials."

"I still need to go back and sort out some things. I'll leave it to you here."

Hearing this, Song Wenbai looked at Xu Chuan excitedly, nodded vigorously, and said, "Don't worry, boss, I will definitely do this well."

Xu Chuan smiled and turned to leave the laboratory.

Late at night, in the small Red Flag car, Zheng Hai smiled and looked at Xu Chuan who got into the car, and asked: "I thought you would live here today like yesterday."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "The experiment is done, and it has come to an end for the time being. There is no need to live here anymore. Living at home is still comfortable."

Hearing this, Zheng Hai also smiled. He didn't ask any more questions, started the car and drove away.

He didn't ask whether the experiment was successful or what Xu Chuan was doing.

He just needed to do his own thing well. As for the rest, those were not his business.

After returning to the villa smoothly, Xu Chuan first took a hot bath, then wiped his hair and sat in front of the computer.

Although it was already late at night, he had more important things to do than sleeping.

Opening the superconducting machine theory paper completed two days ago, Xu Chuan began to make some modifications on it.

Completing an experiment by yourself will gain far more than looking at other people's experimental data.

Sometimes, theoretical research and applied experiments do not conflict, and they even complement each other.

The 152K copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconductor contains the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials. Although he has known the basic principle, there are more profound theoretical work waiting for him to complete behind this principle.

For example, why in the past, people generally believed that excessive doping would lead to a decrease in the critical Tc of high-temperature superconductors, but today, he has discovered that overdoped copper-carbon-silver high-temperature superconductors achieve 152K high-temperature superconductivity.

Although 152K is not considered a high temperature, and although he can use a model to calculate the function between doping data and the superconducting energy gap, he has not yet figured out what theory should be used to explain the effect of doping on superconductors.

Or, how does the strong electron correlation effect in high-temperature superconductors feel the effect of external electromagnetic fields in a coordinated manner in the way of de Broglie waves, just like the Aharonov-Bohm effect of charged particles, thereby amplifying the insignificant wave-particle duality of a single electron to a macroscopic scale.

These are deeper questions that need to be studied by him and other researchers.

Of course, this is not a one-time achievement. It takes a long time, countless experiments, and countless theoretical revisions to complete.
