Chapter 859 The Hope of Gauss Rifle

After talking about the arrangement of room temperature superconducting materials for a while, Yuan Zhouli took a sip of warm tea from the porcelain cup, moistened his throat and looked at Xu Chuan.

"Academician Xu, what do you think about the doubts of various countries' materials research institutes on the experimental data of room temperature superconductivity?"

It has been less than two days since the copper oxide-based chromium-silver system room temperature superconducting materials were made public on Arxiv, and the academic community has already been in an uproar.

Although there are some countries with ill intentions behind this, it is enough to show Xu Chuan's status in the academic community.

Only he can make such public achievements so quickly affect the world.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is because the governments of various countries are afraid.

Because Xu Chuan's reputation and status in the academic community are far from comparable to South Korea.

Even if the public room temperature superconducting materials have obvious problems in the experimental data, countries are afraid that this is true.

So they can't wait to verify the situation of room temperature superconducting materials through the doubts of the academic community and some means, and obtain some other things.

Hearing this question, Xu Chuan didn't think much, he said: "Let's do it according to the last high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material."

"However, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NASA, California Nanotechnology Research Center (CNSI), which are the leaders of the trouble, are included in the blacklist and will not provide copper oxide-based chromium-silver system room-temperature superconducting materials."

Superconducting materials, whether high-temperature superconducting materials or room-temperature superconducting materials, will eventually be applied.

In other words, it is actually used to make money. Whether it is sold domestically or exported abroad, the ultimate goal is to make money.

Of course, unlike other materials, room-temperature superconducting materials are very important for the development of science and technology, so its attached value is also extremely high.

Therefore, exporting to make money has become its attached attribute.

For a country, mastering this cross-era material, making money is undoubtedly secondary, and the main attribute is to trade for various things that money cannot buy.

For example, some cutting-edge technologies, lithography machines, semiconductor-related technologies, etc.

These things still have a big shortcoming for China, and are basically prohibited from sale and export by other countries.

Room temperature superconducting materials can be used in these fields.

Only this kind of cross-era material can exchange materials for technology and equipment, even if it is sub-cutting-edge.

After all, one is a fish and the other is fishing, and the two are completely different.

And from another perspective, what some netizens said is actually not a problem.

If it is in some other fields, falling into the trap of self-proof is the most stupid behavior.

But in the academic world, questioning is the basic rule of academia, and self-proof is also a basic rule. A scholar has the responsibility and obligation to prove the correctness of his research results to the outside world.

Just like mathematics, every proof of the world's difficult problem, the Millennium Conjecture, needs to be reviewed by the mathematical community and academic conferences are held to explain the doubts of many mathematicians.

In the field of materials science, room temperature superconducting materials are undoubtedly also subject to external verification.

Perhaps some people think that it doesn't matter if there is no explanation, as long as the material is really used by themselves.

But for the academic world, academic reputation is also an important part of a scholar.

The reason why the room temperature superconducting material this time has attracted the attention of countries around the world so quickly is not because of Xu Chuan's academic reputation?

Therefore, it is certain and necessary to prove the authenticity of room temperature superconducting materials to the outside world.

Similar to high temperature superconducting materials, the best way is to mail a copy of the material to other research institutes to complete the test experiment.

This is actually the purpose of these material laboratories and research institutes that speak out to the outside world.

It is impossible to obtain the preparation method, but it is still possible to obtain a piece of room temperature superconducting material for research.

But this approach with obvious political factors is a bit disgusting to Xu Chuan.

So these material research institutes and laboratories were directly excluded.

There are so many material research institutes and laboratories in the world, and a few more of them are not much, and a few less of them are not much.

It is said that a gentleman will not be late for revenge for ten years, but he never thinks of himself as a gentleman. He is a villain, and the sooner he fights back, the better.

Don't you want to use public opinion to force me to give you room temperature superconducting materials to verify that the experimental data is fine?

Hey, I just don't give it to you, what's the matter? Others can't verify it, right?

Across the sofa, Yuan Zhouli nodded and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Academician Xu, I have a suggestion for the verification of room temperature superconducting materials."

Xu Chuan looked over and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Yuan Zhouli thought for a moment, organized his words, and then said, "My idea is very simple. Instead of sending the materials out for others to study and test, we might as well invite the other party to come and verify them in China."

Hearing this suggestion, Xu Chuan frowned and said, "Do you want to avoid the outflow of room temperature superconducting materials?"

Yuan Zhouli nodded. He did have this idea, but there were some other reasons that he couldn't say here.

Xu Chuan shook his head and said, "The outflow of room temperature superconducting materials is inevitable. This cannot be avoided unless we don't use it or produce it."

"As long as we wait until industrialization is achieved, or even without industrial application, small batch production, and use, it will be easy for other countries to obtain the materials.

"It's basically impossible to keep confidential information from being leaked. To be honest, it's not of much use."

Yuan Zhouli smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's impossible to keep it secret forever, but we can keep it secret for a while, and that's enough."

Xu Chuan: "In that case, let's do it according to Yuan Qian's wishes."

To be honest, he doesn't really agree with this approach of wanting to keep room temperature superconducting materials secret before large-scale applications.

It is inevitable that other countries or laboratories will obtain room temperature superconducting materials, and it is impossible for room temperature superconducting materials not to be used.

And as long as it is applied, it is easy for other countries to obtain it.

Just like a high-precision chip, as long as you apply it commercially and sell it to others, it is easy for others to get it.

But is it useful to get the chip? It's useless. The photolithography machine and a series of processing methods are the real secrets.

The same goes for materials, so the confidentiality method of preventing a material that is to be commercialized from leaking out is meaningless in his opinion.

He has actually kept the secret secret. What he has disclosed is only the basic papers. The preparation technology and methods are all "black box" and these have not been made public.

And reverse development of products has never been easy, especially in the field of materials.

If it were really easy to reverse engineering, would domestic research and development in the field of materials have lagged so far behind over the years?

Will not.

Therefore, confidentiality in the field of materials has never been based on not leaking materials, but on continuous research and development and continuous improvement of material performance.

But since Yuan Geng proposed to keep it secret for a short time, he would not refute it.

Maybe he might have some other thoughts or ideas.

Xu Chuan didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, and it wouldn't be a problem if he cooperated with the work.

Hearing this, Yuan Zhouli also had a relieved smile on his face: "I will arrange for someone to cooperate with the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute to complete this matter."

Xu Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, these are all small things."

Yuan Zhouli smiled and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

After a pause, he continued: "In addition, when I come here this time, there is one more thing I want to ask you."

Xu Chuan: "What happened?"

Yuan Zhouli organized his language and said: "It is also related to room temperature superconducting materials. Regarding this material, I believe you are also very aware that its applications in various cutting-edge scientific and technological fields are very important. We would like to ask, what is it?" Is there enough potential to make superconducting coils, electromagnetic guide rails, etc.?”

Xu Chuan glanced at Yuan Gen and asked with a smile on his face: "You want to ask about electromagnetic rail guns, right?"

Yuan Zhouli was not embarrassed at all to see through his thoughts. He nodded with a smile and said, "National defense technology is also technology. They are all important. They are all important."

Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Actually, you are not the first to ask this question."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "How should I put it, aside from its brittleness and vulnerability, copper oxide-based chromium-silver system room-temperature superconducting materials are more suitable for electromagnetic rail guns than high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials. These."

"The intensity of three standard atmospheres is not high, it is easy to achieve, and it is also easy to apply to technologies such as electromagnetic rail guns."

"But it's still an old problem. We can't put aside the brittleness and fragility. You know, the application environment of this kind of weapons and equipment is often very harsh. This can't be put aside."

"So currently, it is very difficult to apply it to national defense weapons such as electromagnetic rail guns and Gauss rifles."

This is actually a common question. When the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting material was developed last time, Qin Anguo, the previous leader of science and technology, also asked him about this.

His answer was similar.

Yuan Zhouli thought for a while and asked tentatively: "In other words, as long as the two problems of brittleness and fragility of room temperature superconducting materials can be solved, is it possible to apply it to these national defense technologies? "

Xu Chuan nodded and said: "Theoretically, you can say this, but I can't guarantee you how long it will take to solve these two basic problems."

Compared with high-temperature superconducting materials, room temperature superconducting materials are still making progress in the application of weapons and equipment such as electromagnetic rail guns and Gauss rifles.

At the very least, the intensity of three standard atmospheres is more suitable for these technologies than the low temperature of 152K.

It does not require cooling by things like liquid nitrogen and liquid helium. Raising the pressure faced by the material to above three standard atmospheres can be achieved by increasing the force, reducing the area of ​​action, optimizing material selection and structural design, etc.

To put it simply, if the two key issues of brittleness and vulnerability can be solved, then room temperature superconducting materials can theoretically complete miniaturized electromagnetic rail guns and electromagnetic coil guns.

That is to say, small but highly lethal weapons such as Gauss rifles and electromagnetic rifles in science fiction movies can be created.

Because it has enough miniaturization foundation, it no longer needs to drag a huge cooling device to lower the temperature of superconducting materials.

Upon hearing this answer, Yuan Zhouli's eyes lit up and his heart became active.

Although Xu Chuan said he didn’t know how long it would take to complete the subsequent optimization, but at least there is hope, right?

Compared with high-temperature superconducting materials, room-temperature superconducting materials are a huge improvement.

When he returns, he must communicate with the higher-ups. He must give more compensation for the cost of authorizing room-temperature superconducting materials!

In the office, after dealing with matters related to room-temperature superconducting materials, Director Yuan stood up and said goodbye.

It was not easy to take time out to come here today. He still had a lot of other things to do.

As for Academician Zhang Pingxiang, he had no plans to leave Jinling in a short time.

He wanted to see how Xu Chuan prepared copper oxide-based chromium-silver system room-temperature superconducting materials, and also wanted to see those papers that had not been made public, and also wanted to participate in the subsequent optimization and development of room-temperature superconducting materials.

Xu Chuan agreed to these requests very happily.

Last time when the high-temperature copper-carbon-silver composite superconducting materials were optimized, Academician Zhang participated in it and had rich experience.

How to say it.

In a word, the free labor force was sent to the door by oneself. Isn't that good?

The next day. In Xu Chuan's office at the Sichuan-Hai Materials Research Institute.

After reading the complete version of the paper "Condensed Matter Electron Localization Structure Theory" in his hand, Zhang Pingxiang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xu Chuan with a shining gaze, and said.

"It's a very exquisite paper. I never thought that there was such a way in the field of materials science."

Xu Chuan smiled and said: "The application of electron delocalization is not only in room temperature superconducting materials, but also has broad application prospects in other materials."

"It can greatly optimize some of the properties of materials and is worth further study."

Academician Zhang Pingxiang nodded seriously and said: "I think so too, so I have an idea and need your consent."

"What idea?" Xu Chuan asked curiously.

Zhang Pingxiang organized his words and said: "In short, your paper has great potential. It is enough to open up a new discipline in the field of materials science."

"I want to sort out this part of the things and compile a textbook in the field of materials science. For students in the field of materials science to study and research."

Hearing this, Xu Chuan looked at Academician Zhang in surprise and saw that he looked serious and did not seem to be joking.

"Writing a book~"

After taking a deep breath, Xu Chuan leaned back in his chair and sighed, with some inexplicable meaning.

For Chinese people, this is probably the highest realm of a reader.

PS: There will be another chapter later, but it will be late, so you should get up in the morning and read it.

In addition: It's the last day of the month, so if you still have monthly tickets, please vote. Eight-tail is being cute, meow^ω^.
