Chapter 470 A Milestone in Academia!

"Sure enough! Under room temperature conditions, this material can naturally achieve a superconducting state! Although we have not specifically tested this value, this superconducting critical temperature is already higher than our previous superconducting material!"

Except for Sui Feng, at this moment, everyone else's faces were as excited as Sui Feng.

At this time, the room temperature of this laboratory is about 24 degrees Celsius, which is a relatively comfortable temperature for the human body. Of course, even if the temperature is slightly higher, it will not affect the superconducting properties of this material.

And then, under the command of Ning Chen, everyone slowly began to heat up the superconducting circuit.

Because the current temperature is close to the theoretical superconducting critical temperature of this material, everyone is very cautious when heating up, and the speed of heating is limited to a very slow rate.

Finally, when the temperature of this superconducting circuit reached 300.30K, the complete conductivity of this material began to change.

As the temperature of this material continued to rise, its resistance value finally began to become obvious. Although this value is not very large and can only be observed on a microscopic scale, it has exceeded the scope of superconductors.

"Teacher Ning, your prediction of the superconducting critical temperature of this material is really too accurate! The numbers after the decimal point are completely accurate between the two, and there is not even a slight deviation!"

Faced with such a result, Sui Feng expressed his excitement from the bottom of his heart.

In previous experiments on superconductivity, as long as the difference between the theoretical superconducting critical temperature of the material and the corresponding actual value is within 10K, it is considered a very accurate result.

After all, it is very difficult to predict the properties of this material. Before the material is actually synthesized, there are many things that are difficult to imagine. Therefore, it is normal for there to be some errors between the two.

However, after Ning Chen created this research method with mathematical models as the core, everything became completely different.

Ning Chen was like a person who could predict the future. He could accurately see all the properties of the experiment before it was completed. This ability made everyone present marvel.

"This is the uniqueness of this research method. I just happened to find this research method. I am very happy that our research has achieved initial success. I think we can celebrate it now."

Ning Chen deliberately used the adjective "initial" when describing the success of this experiment, because in Ning Chen's eyes, the current experiment has indeed only reached the starting stage, and there is still a lot of work to be done before it can be truly applied.

But just the feat of synthesizing a room-temperature superconducting material with a higher superconducting critical temperature is enough to make the whole world excited. Ning Chen naturally does not want to let everyone feel any disappointment at this time.

Seeing that Ning Chen has expressed such an attitude, everyone is no longer worried about anything. Finally, they can celebrate with each other and vent their excitement.

"Great! We have created a new milestone in the field of human superconductivity research! In the future, human superconductivity research will enter the 300K era!"

"We have paid so much for this research, and now we have finally gained something! Doing experiments with Teacher Ning will never let us down!"

"First, controlled nuclear fusion, and now room temperature superconductivity. The research method of this mathematical model has proved how significant it is. I think all future research can promote this research method!"

The celebration did not last too long. After just a few minutes, everyone regained a relatively calm state and prepared to continue the next work.

Ning Chen originally hoped that everyone would take a rest first, but seeing that everyone's work enthusiasm was still very strong, Ning Chen had to agree to extend everyone's working time.

"Then let's measure some basic properties of this substance, then take a good rest, and then continue to work."

No one would have any objection to Ning Chen's arrangement. After receiving Ning Chen's instructions, everyone immediately continued to measure.

As expected, the other properties of this material are also completely consistent with Ning Chen's previous predictions.

This proves that this 300K room temperature superconducting material is a new type of superconducting material that surpasses the 290K room temperature superconducting material in all aspects, not just some eye-catching theoretical data.

Such a material with very strong application value is the result that Ning Chen hopes to achieve.

…………

After completing these preliminary experiments, Ning Chen and others took a good rest for a short time and were not in a hurry to continue the next experiment.

Only after everyone's physical condition recovered very well did Ning Chen let everyone return to the laboratory to continue to conduct more in-depth exploration experiments on this 300K room temperature superconducting material.

The following experiments also went smoothly. In addition to some basic properties, this 300K room temperature superconducting material also showed that it was completely consistent with Ning Chen's theoretical predictions in various advanced properties, without any unexpected situations.

After the measurement experiment of this 300K room temperature superconducting material was completely completed, Ning Chen and others first sorted out the relevant results.

This has been a habit of Ning Chen in the past two years. Whenever a research result is made, he hopes to make the relevant information public as much as possible, because at this stage, it is meaningless to keep these results confidential. The development of Blue Star civilization needs the stimulation of these advanced research results.

Within a few days, Ning Chen and others sorted out these research results, and Ning Chen did not hesitate at all. After confirming the accuracy of this paper, he immediately published this paper directly on the website of "Academic Starry Sky".

"Teacher Ning, this way of publishing papers is really too convenient. It can not only save a lot of time and energy for our academic researchers, but also make reading papers much more convenient. What's more, publishing papers here has the same effect as directly submitting papers, and there is no need to worry about wasting a research result."

Xu Zhou sincerely expressed his appreciation for this way of submitting papers. This way of publishing papers has brought subversive changes to the entire academic community.

This also forced many other top academic journals to learn to adapt to this new way of publishing papers. They also established their own academic paper websites and adopted the same paper acceptance policy as "Academic Star".

Even for papers published publicly on the "Academic Star" website, they will still open their arms. As long as the authors are willing, they will also be willing to accept these papers to be published in their academic journals, regardless of whether this is the first release of this paper.

After all, the current academic world has long formed a situation where Xingchen Technology is the only one. If other academic journals want to get a share of the academic market, they must show their advantages in this fierce competition.

"Yes, this is also a decision I am particularly glad about. Although many people opposed it at the beginning and believed that academic papers were not suitable for being published in this "impulsive" way, fortunately I still insisted on my original idea. Facts have proved that this decision has played a very big role in the development of the academic world."

Just when Ning Chen was chatting with everyone about this matter, many people had learned about the information of the public publication of this paper at this moment, and quickly opened the "Academic Star" website to check this paper.

The reason why they were able to learn about this news in the first place was that they had already paid special attention to Ning Chen's personal homepage on the "Academic Star" website in advance. Once Ning Chen posted any updates, they would receive prompts immediately.

This special setting can very conveniently let them learn about Ning Chen's latest research results as quickly as possible and stand at the forefront of scientific research.

Soon, this news caused a huge shock in the academic community. They all knew how significant this research result was.

"Academician Ning Chen and his research team have discovered a room-temperature superconducting material with a superconducting critical temperature of 300K! The research field of room-temperature superconductivity has continued to make major breakthroughs!"

"Oh my God! It has only been a short time, and the record of the critical temperature of superconductivity has been raised by 10K! I didn't expect that when superconducting materials have achieved room-temperature superconductivity, the development speed of superconductivity research will be so fast!"

"Academician Ning Chen is such a great scientist. He has just led everyone to complete the construction of the space elevator project and immediately contributed another major research result. I believe that we humans on Blue Star will soon be able to leave the solar system and go to a wider universe!"

In addition to these superficial discussions, after some experts carefully analyzed this paper, they gradually came to some deeper conclusions.

And these conclusions are more surprising than those superficial things.

"After I read this paper carefully, I realized how amazing this research result is. This is not just a room-temperature superconductor with a higher superconducting critical temperature, but a milestone breakthrough in the entire history of human scientific research..."

"This time, Academician Ning Chen and his research team adopted a new research method, that is, a research method based on mathematical models. This method sounds like an ordinary research method, but in fact, things are not what we see. Because they are completely guided by mathematical models to construct models, and they did not even use any other research methods before conducting experiments."

"In addition, when designing this new type of room-temperature superconductor, they also considered many properties other than the superconducting critical temperature. In other words, they are fully capable of designing room-temperature superconductors with higher superconducting critical temperatures, but for practical application value, they still only set the superconducting critical temperature of this material above 300K..."

These conclusions undoubtedly shocked many scientists. The gap in scientific research capabilities between them and Ning Chen is like a wide chasm, which may be insurmountable even after a few decades.

But Ning Chen's achievement has undoubtedly played a very good leading role, allowing more people to try to use this method to make more outstanding academic research.

…………

That night, after finishing a day's work, Ning Chen returned to his room and began to summarize the various research results of the past few days.

Although the research on this new 300K room-temperature superconducting material has not yet reached the application stage, Ning Chen is still quite satisfied.

As long as the project team can continue to carry out the research according to this research progress, this 300K room-temperature superconducting material will definitely have a wider application space than the previous 290K room-temperature superconducting material.

"By the way... it's time to check the research progress of the new generation of industrial revolution."

Thinking of this, Ning Chen immediately opened the system interface and checked the corresponding progress bar.

Seeing the current progress of the new generation of industrial revolution, Ning Chen's eyebrows couldn't help but jump, knowing that he was extremely close to achieving this goal.

"I can't believe that this progress bar has reached 99% now. Even if I don't do anything for the time being, this task will definitely be completed automatically..." Ning Chen said in his heart.

Now the in-depth and intensive research on controlled nuclear fusion and room-temperature superconductivity is constantly going on.

Even if Ning Chen handed all these tasks to other people, it would not take much time for the remaining 1% of progress to be completed.

However, this way of completing the task is naturally not the choice Ning Chen tends to make. As long as Ning Chen still has the ability to research, he will definitely take the initiative in his own hands.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen has made a decision in his heart.

"I have been staying in Science Fiction Island for a long time these days. After finishing this last bit of work, I will go to the site of the large-scale controlled nuclear fusion project to help the project team complete the follow-up work." Ning Chen thought to himself.

This work has always been handled by Lu Minghao, and Ning Chen helped the project team to deal with some difficult problems and make some major decisions online.
