Great Country Academician

Xu Chuan did not expect that the expanded application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem could win two Nobel Prizes so quickly.

This is indeed a joyful thing, but he didn't pay too much attention to it

After all, for him, things in the field of astronomy cannot bring him much change at present.

Even if the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem can help humans search for a second planet of life in the vast universe in the future, that is a matter of the future.

Right now, it is very difficult for human beings to even leave the earth. Talk about interstellar immigration.

But things that he doesn't care much about are completely different in the hands of other scholars.

Vogt Armstrong, a professor of astrophysics in New Zealand, was stunned when he heard that he had won the Nobel Prize in Physics for 19 years. So much so that when the reporter came to him, he was still in a trance.

Chasing hot spots is something every news media must do, and the announcement of the list of Nobel Prize winners every year is undoubtedly one of the biggest hot spots in the scientific community.

So after the announcement of this year's Physics Prize, New Zealand's largest media "NZME Quest" quickly found the winner, Professor Vogt Armstrong.

"Professor Vogt, how do you feel about winning the Nobel Prize in Physics this time?"

Vogt Armstrong replied honestly: "I'm actually very confused, because I really didn't expect that I would win the Nobel Prize one day."

The reporter from NZME Quest quickly asked: "I heard that your previous discovery was based on a mathematical theory, is that true?"

Vogt Armstrong nodded and thanked: "Yes, so I have to thank Professor Xu in particular. If it weren't for his Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem, I might still be an ordinary professor today, let alone touch Nobel Prize."

The reporter then asked: "I heard that this mathematical tool can calculate four-dimensional space, do you think it is really possible?"

Vogt Armstrong thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't give you an accurate answer to this question."

"Although I have indeed completed the calculation of the 'TRAPPIST-1' star system with the help of Professor Xu's tool, in fact, what I have used and understood is only the tip of the iceberg of this mathematical tool."

NZME Quest Reporter: "Unbelievable, is it such an exaggeration? You can be said to be the physicist who knows this tool best."

Vogt shook his head quickly, and said, "Correct me, the physicist who knows this tool best is not me, but Professor Xu."

"If you want to know more about this tool, you should interview Professor Xu, he can give you the answer."

After a pause, Professor Vogt continued: "But for your previous question, if I want to give an answer, I think it can be done!"

"Of course, this must require Professor Xu to do it himself. It is almost impossible for others!"

The interview with NZME Quest Media spread quickly. A Nobel Prize winner personally endorsed that the extended application of the Xu-Weyl-Berry theorem may be able to calculate channels in high-dimensional spaces. Little sensation.

But Xu Chuan knew nothing about it, and no one came to him or interviewed him.

Now he is on his way to Chuanhai Materials Research Institute.

The research institute is managed by his elder brother Fan Pengyue. After the patent authorization of the artificial SEI thin film was sold before, billions of working capital were harvested, so the research institute began to recruit and expand. I don’t know how the current situation is. up.

Taking advantage of the abundant time, it's time to visit the research institute and arrange some tasks.

After all, after spending so much money to expand the venue, purchase equipment, and recruit researchers, it is impossible to just sit idle.

And in his plan, the research and development tasks of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute will be linked to the controllable nuclear fusion project.

The most important thing is the research of superconducting materials.

The controllable nuclear fusion project has started, and superconducting materials must be developed before the core reactor is modified, otherwise his arrangements and plans will be hindered.

The new office address of Chuanhai Materials Research Institute is still near Zijin Mountain, but it moved out of the original building, found a suitable building nearby and rented a whole three floors as a new base.

Now three or four months have passed, and all the personnel and equipment have been transferred.

When Xu Chuan came to the new base of the research institute, Senior Brother Fan was interviewing a scientific researcher. When he saw him coming, he quickly asked a few questions and finished his work. The researcher who came for the interview was stunned.

"It's over so soon?" Xu Chuan looked at the interviewer curiously. The other party seemed to recognize him, but didn't recognize him, so he looked back frequently, wanting to confirm, but he didn't dare to stay in the office, and finally walked away with three steps.

Fan Pengyue said with a smile: "Isn't this the boss who came to inspect it? It must be given priority."

After a pause, he explained again: "Just now, the researcher has gone through three rounds of interviews, and his resume is very good. Today, I just want to talk about my views on the job and salary requirements. I think I should be able to come to work next week. "

Xu Chuan didn't care too much, and said: "Well, you can control this aspect. The staff and so on, the most important thing is the quality, especially the background, it must be clean, and be careful not to mix in the spy or something."

After all, with the emergence of artificial SEI films, Chuanhai Materials Research Institute has officially entered the eyes of major manufacturers in the material industry.

It is common in shopping malls for commercial intermediaries and so on.

The domineering president in those novels waved his hand and then solved the difficulties, basically only existed in the novels.

However, real business competition is often the most unpretentious. What old employees suddenly delete their warehouses and run away, what the chairman overturned the wall to secretly take pictures, what the former chairman led several big men to snatch the official seal, what company manager took the lead in destroying the competitor’s bicycle seat

Therefore, in terms of personnel recruitment, it is better to be slower than to recruit innocent people.

Of course, in the follow-up research and development, there will definitely be various confidentiality agreements and some preventive measures, so as to ensure that the research and development results will not be leaked to the greatest extent.

After brewing two cups of clear tea, Fan Pengyue smiled and said, "Why do you have time to come here today? Do you need to study any new materials?"

The relationship between the two of them is somewhat different from that of ordinary bosses beating workers. When they are together, they don't have the seriousness of traditional bosses and subordinates.

Xu Chuan took a sip from his teacup, nodded and said with a smile, "Since we have chosen to expand the research institute, we must study materials."

"What are you going to do this time?" Fan Pengyue asked curiously.

He still knows a little bit about this junior fellow student, so it can be said that if he can't make a move, it's enough, and a move is an earth-shattering goal.

Xu Chuan thought for a while and said, "Superconducting materials and carbon materials."

"They are all hot areas in the market." Fan Pengyue smiled and said, "Is there a specific direction? After all, these two directions are too broad, so it is impossible to try one by one."

"Although the patent of the artificial SEI film has made a lot of money, it's not such a waste, is it?"

Xu Chuan smiled and nodded, "Of course."

"The research scope of superconducting materials is based on copper-carbon-silver composite materials. As for carbon materials, the main research is graphene and carbon nanotubes."

Hearing this, Fan Pengyue rubbed his chin and said, "For superconducting materials, your goal must be high-temperature superconducting or even room-temperature superconducting. Are you more optimistic about copper-carbon-silver composite materials?"

He has studied material physics with Chen Zhengping for several years, and he has been in charge of the Chuanhai Materials Research Institute for the past two years, so he has a deep understanding of various materials on the market.

Superconducting materials are undoubtedly one of the key directions of investment and research in all countries.

Superconducting materials, often referred to as "superconductors", do not just refer to materials with "complete conductivity".

The so-called zero resistance is just one of the three most well-known characteristics of superconducting materials.

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, people continued to liquefy various gases under the guidance of gas theory.

Among them, Onnes, a physicist in the Windmill Country, successfully liquefied helium, the last "stubborn gas" on Earth in 1908, and obtained a low temperature of 4.2K close to absolute zero, about minus 269°C.

In 1911, when Onnes et al. used liquid helium to cool metal mercury to study the resistance behavior of metal at low temperature, they found that the resistance of mercury did not gradually decrease with the decrease of temperature as expected, but when the temperature dropped to 4.2K It is equivalent to a sharp drop at minus 268.98°C, and even disappears completely.

This is the first step for superconductors to enter the world stage, and also discovered the first characteristic of superconducting materials, zero resistance.

Then, in 1933, Germanic physicists Meissner and Olinfield jointly discovered another important feature of superconductors - complete diamagnetism.

The so-called complete diamagnetism means that when the material is in the superconducting state, it will completely repel the magnetic field, and the magnetic induction in the superconductor is zero. This phenomenon is called the "Meissner effect".

This is the second biggest property of superconducting materials.

After the time continued, it was postponed for 20 years. In 1957, three physicists, Bardeen, Cooper and Schriever, jointly proposed the famous BCS theory.

The BCS theory regards superconductivity as a kind of macroscopic quantum effect, and successfully explains the microscopic mechanism of superconductivity of metal or alloy superconductors, which is called "macroscopic quantum effect".

So far, the three major characteristics of superconducting materials have been revealed to the world.

It is a new material with three basic properties of complete conductivity, complete diamagnetism and macroscopic quantum effect.

Based on these three characteristics of superconducting materials, the application fields of superconducting materials can be described as extremely wide.

For example, using the zero-resistance properties and complete diamagnetism of superconducting materials, large currents can be loaded to realize disruptive technologies such as high-current transportation, strong magnetic fields, and magnetic levitation;

Or based on the quantum tunneling effect, superconductivity can be applied to quantum computing and realize weak magnetic field detection, etc.

Therefore, superconducting materials are widely used in various fields such as power transmission, medical equipment, electronic communications, national defense, military affairs, and scientific research.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a material that subverts the world pattern.

And based on his understanding of this little junior, if he wants to study superconducting materials, he will basically go for room temperature superconductivity.

His junior brother's ambition or ambition is really not small.

If it succeeds, it will be terrible.

He will completely rewrite the history of human civilization and usher it into a new era.
