Chapter 422 Painful Ning Chen

Regarding the concept of "room temperature", different locations will have different standards, but in any case, the temperature of 290K will definitely be recognized as normal room temperature conditions.

Faced with everyone's enthusiastic response, Ning Chen also felt very understanding. However, the test has just begun. Ning Chen cannot take it too lightly. He continues to pay attention to every corner of the superconducting circuit to prevent any hidden dangers. appear somewhere.

As time goes by, the room-temperature superconducting circuits are still working stably, and there are no faults or even hidden dangers.

Although as the temperature in Shengzhou increases, sometimes the room temperature superconducting circuit still needs to be treated at low temperature, but since there is not much difference between the outside temperature and the superconducting critical temperature of the room temperature superconducting material, such cooling costs Still completely acceptable.

After a period of testing, the final test results were very satisfying to everyone.

"It's great. The energy consumption during the power transmission process of such a room temperature superconducting transmission line is almost negligible. If we can continue to promote this kind of superconducting transmission line, then the energy problem will be completely solved!" "

Yue Jiafeng was very amazed by such room temperature superconducting lines, which made Yue Jiafeng's trip to Shengzhou indeed full of significance.

Although when he was at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Yue Jiafeng could see many outstanding scientific research plans every day, but compared with Ning Chen's research project this time, those scientific research plans pale in comparison.

"Yes, Academician Yue, this superconducting circuit test was indeed relatively successful. Of course, the research and development of this technology is far from complete. We still have a long way to go. And it's only now. There is still a lot of room for improvement on the test lines..."

Listening to Ning Chen's words, Yue Jiafeng couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The most important problem now is that the cost of synthesizing room-temperature superconducting materials is too high. Just a very small test line actually consumes hundreds of millions of dollars. This is obviously beyond the reach of commercialization and daily life. Acceptance costs.

"Academician Ning, do you have any good ideas about these issues now?"

"I still need to go back and think carefully about how to improve the synthesis cost of this material and improve its synthesis efficiency. However, I still have some optimization plans for the existing room temperature superconducting circuits."

"Really? Please give me some advice, Academician Ning!"

Yue Jiafeng was a little surprised by Ning Chen's words, because during the days of the experiment, Yue Jiafeng participated in the entire experimental process.

All experts, including Yue Jiafeng, were very satisfied with this experiment. In the process of communicating with other experts, Yue Jiafeng did not hear that anyone had any other better ideas.

However, now Ning Chen said that he already had some optimization plans, which undoubtedly made Yue Jiafeng very curious.

"In fact, this method is not very complicated. It is just a matter of adding additional pressure control technology to the superconducting circuit. The addition of this technology will increase a small amount of cost, but this cost is completely acceptable."

"Because the increase in pressure can further increase the superconducting critical temperature of this room temperature superconducting material, so in some cases, the cost of increasing pressure will be lower than the cost of increasing the ambient temperature."

"In the long run, these cost reductions can completely make up for the increased cost of building pressure control technology, and even reduce our additional expenses..."

Listening to Ning Chen's explanation, Yue Jiafeng gradually understood what Ning Chen wanted to express.

Although Ning Chen has always disliked the technology that uses ultra-high pressure to increase the critical temperature of superconducting materials, because Ning Chen feels that such technology is more of a gimmick and does not have much practical significance.

But despite this, Ning Chen did not give up research in this branch of field, because it can better make up for the entire theory about superconductivity, allowing Ning Chen to understand any knowledge about superconductivity without any blind spots.

While thinking about it one day, Ning Chen suddenly tried this direction and discovered some new information.

In scientists' previous research on high-voltage superconductivity, in order to make materials have a higher superconducting critical temperature, it is often necessary to increase the pressure of the environment to a very extreme condition, which will greatly increase the ability to maintain the superconducting state of the material. The cost makes it impossible to apply this technology at all.

But for this 290K room temperature superconducting material, it only needs to increase the pressure a little to significantly increase its superconducting critical temperature, without spending too much cost.

This is also the first time that humans have found the application of increasing pressure in the field of superconductivity. After hearing Ning Chen's thoughts, Yue Jiafeng's expression continued to change.

Admittedly, as Ning Chen said at the beginning, this technology is indeed not a new one, but Ning Chen can cleverly find ways to apply this technology, which is undoubtedly something that impresses people.

Ning Chen has never just been a genius with unconstrained ideas. On the contrary, Ning Chen is very pragmatic most of the time. When studying a topic, Ning Chen will often think about the relevant application direction first, rather than just Simply to pursue an academic achievement.

"Academician Ning, your idea is really great! Just a seemingly inconspicuous idea can save ten to twenty percent of the cost of use. This is really something that no one can think of. !”

Being praised like this by Yue Jiafeng, Ning Chen didn't feel happy at all, because at this moment, there were more thorny problems that Ning Chen needed to solve.

Ning Chen still has no clear idea about the difficulties that Ning Chen and Yue Jiafeng just mentioned. This is something that gives Ning Chen a very headache.

After separating from Yue Jiafeng, Ning Chen walked on the road alone, thinking about the optimization method for synthesizing 290K room temperature superconductors.

"No... with my current ability, I'm afraid I won't be able to successfully break through this technology in a short time."

After some thinking, Ning Chen also knew that his ability in the field of materials was still relatively limited, and he was far from being able to get anything he wanted.

Now, Ning Chen still has a huge gap between upgrading the subject level of materials science, because as the subject level increases, the subject experience required for each upgrade directly increases tenfold.

Even if Ning Chen could gain subject experience faster, it was impossible to directly increase this speed several times at once.

When Ning Chen was confused about this matter, Song Xiyun quietly came to Ning Chen's side.

Naturally, Ning Chen would not fail to notice this matter. With the blessing of brain biocomputer technology, Ning Chen can completely perceive the surrounding environment even if he is in a very concentrated thinking state. Unless Ning Chen takes the initiative to give the biocomputer technology to Close it.

"Ning Chen...it looks like you are trapped because of some problems."

"Hey, I still don't have any good ideas about how to optimize 290K room temperature superconducting materials."

In front of Song Xiyun, Ning Chen did not deliberately conceal the matter, but straightforwardly explained his inner confusion.

Song Xiyun seemed to have guessed the confusion in Ning Chen's heart, and said to Ning Chen with a smile:

"Ning Chen, I believe that as long as you think more, you will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem. Right now, you have not shown your full strength."

Song Xiyun did not directly give Ning Chen the direction in which he might solve this problem, but he was full of confidence in Song Xiyun's solution to this problem, which made Ning Chen feel a little puzzled.

"Song Xiyun...what confidence do you have to think that I can definitely solve these problems?"

"Haha, I don't have much confidence, but there has always been no problem that can really trouble you, so I definitely won't worry about you. As for your method of solving the problem, you must think about it yourself. If that doesn’t work, we can work together to form a brain biocomputer architecture and try to solve these problems, just like we did before.”

The method mentioned by Song Xiyun will indeed increase the computing power of Ning Chen's brain to a certain extent, but of course it is far from meeting Ning Chen's heart's requirements.

However, this still gave Ning Chen some encouragement. Maybe if it is connected with Song Xiyun's brain biocomputer, it is really possible to make some new discoveries.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen said:

"Okay, Song Xiyun, let's try it together."

Song Xiyun happened to have the same idea as Ning Chen, so she nodded and agreed.

Ning Chen and Song Xiyun came to Ning Chen's office together, each operating their brain's biological computer to its best state and forming a connection channel.

In an instant, Ning Chen felt that his mental power had been greatly strengthened.

This time, the brain biocomputer connection between the two people is based on Ning Chen's brain as the main body and Song Xiyun's brain as the assistant, just like the large core and small core in the central processing unit.

However, even if Ning Chen's brain power has been enhanced, Ning Chen still cannot make any breakthrough immediately based on Ning Chen's current materials science ability.

In desperation, Ning Chen had to temporarily stop his intense thinking and try to calm down.

Song Xiyun didn't know what the problem was with Ning Chen, but she felt that Ning Chen's brain biocomputer had stopped working intensively, and Song Xiyun had no choice but to withdraw from the state of high-level thinking.

Seeing Ning Chen's disappointed look, Song Xiyun probably understood what happened, but Song Xiyun did not try to persuade Ning Chen again.

Song Xiyun knew clearly that under such circumstances, using any beautiful words to persuade Ning Chen would not solve the problem. Instead, it would make Ning Chen even more irritable. It would be better to let Ning Chen do it himself first. Just wait for a while and wait until Ning Chen figures it all out for himself before returning to his job in the best possible condition.

"No...my current ability is still too weak. If I want to become the ideal scientist, I still have a long way to go."

Ning Chen held his head in his hands, his expression looked very painful. This state was not pretended, but truly came from the heart.

Song Xiyun also understood that Ning Chen was not in Versailles. There was no need for Ning Chen to pretend to be like this in front of Song Xiyun, and Song Xiyun also understood very well why Ning Chen felt this way.

When Ning Chen reaches his current level, the goal in Ning Chen's heart will no longer be any other scientist, but the level that he imagines he can achieve. If he cannot achieve his goal, this kind of painful... The feeling will still be very strong.

Song Xiyun could only pat Ning Chen's back gently, trying to make Ning Chen feel a little more comfortable.

Feeling the contact between Song Xiyun and herself, Ning Chen's painful feeling did fade a lot, which also allowed Ning Chen's brain to calm down again.

"Why don't you try this method first?"

At this time, Ning Chen suddenly remembered that he had obtained three subject level improvement experience cards by completing system tasks.

Ning Chen knew that the value of these three experience cards was extraordinary. If there were no special circumstances, Ning Chen would definitely not use them casually.

But Ning Chen didn't need to keep these props forever. Ning Chen felt that it was time to use these experience cards.

Song Xiyun didn't know what "this method" Ning Chen was referring to, so she quickly asked curiously:

"Ning Chen, what method have you come up with? Tell me quickly."

Naturally, Ning Chen couldn't tell Song Xiyun directly that there was a system in his brain, and there were all kinds of magical system props.

After thinking about it, Ning Chen said vaguely:

"This method is to continue to work with you to form the connection channel of the brain's biological computer, but the input power of brain power must be higher."

Hearing Ning Chen's words, Song Xiyun was a little disappointed, because this method was not an exquisite method at all.

But since Ning Chen made this request, Song Xiyun will definitely go all out to cooperate with Ning Chen.

Moreover, Song Xiyun always felt that there must be something else in Ning Chen's heart that she had not told herself, but since Ning Chen didn't want to tell her, Song Xiyun would not keep asking.

"Okay, Ning Chen, let's proceed as you want. Shall we continue working now?"

"No, don't worry, let's take a good rest first. I was a little tired just now, and this time we have to work for twenty-four hours continuously without any rest in between."
