Chapter 69 Carbon-Based Superconducting Materials
The entire area of the laboratory is more than 12 acres. In addition to the 3rd floor of a 5-story building that was originally used as a supercomputer placement site, and the 4th floor above was converted into a canteen, the original physics laboratory on the first floor has also been moved to the newly built laboratory.
The Materials Laboratory and the Physical Laboratory are the same building, with deeper underground than the biological laboratory, and 8 floors underground and 3 floors on the ground. In the future, the imitation device will be placed at the bottom.
Although even if a controlled nuclear fusion occurs, there will be no disaster in the fission reactor, it will be a significant safety accident once plasma with a temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius and millions of degrees Celsius is leaked out of control.
Walking into the materials laboratory located on the minus 3 underground floor, Hu Feng, who was studying, asked: "Brother Hu, how is the situation?"
The materials laboratory's instruments and equipment have arrived long ago, and the researchers are still recruiting interviews outside. Now, only Hu Feng and a few assistants he invited are conducting research in the laboratory.
"Mr. Lu..."
"Just call me Lu Lu or Dr. Lu."
Lu Yi interrupted, his doctorate degree had been completed, so that he could just change the title of Mr. Lu, who was full of copper smell.
"Uh... I'll call the boss."
Hu Feng still knows some human nature, and it is not good to call Lu Lu, and it is too difficult to call Dr. Lu. This is more appropriate to call the boss according to the title of professor when he was studying for a master's degree and doctoral degree.
"Currently, the material used in the spiral stone 7-X coil of Map Laboratory is a copper oxide type superconducting material. This superconducting material has good critical parameters in magnetic field strength and good critical parameters in current.
However, its poor thermal conductivity has caused the difficulty of making the copper oxide coil at a superconducting temperature to increase exponentially, which has also led to a series of engineering problems and insufficient magnetic field strength."
Hu Feng gave Lu Yi a parameter report to check. The so-called critical magnetic field parameter refers to the fact that the superconducting state will exit when the magnetic field intensity on the surface of the superconductor reaches a certain value.
The same is true for the critical current parameters. When the current inside the superconducting coil reaches a certain limit, the superconductor will also exit the superconducting state.
As for another critical temperature parameter of superconductors, this is no longer necessary to explain. It is necessary to bathe in liquid nitrogen to cool down at all times.
"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Yi agreed with Hu Feng's words and ideas.
The fundamental purpose of the Materials Laboratory is to serve stellar imitators for controlled nuclear fusion services. The research direction should not be to study various new materials, but to study materials that are more suitable for controlled nuclear fusion devices.
"Graphene."
Hu Feng took another report again, but Lu Yi did not accept the report this time, and frowned and said: "The bilayer graphene released in March 2018 to achieve superconductivity at a temperature of 1.7 Kelvin?"
"Yes, that's it." Hu Feng nodded in surprise.
"As far as I know, the superconducting phenomenon of graphene at that time was reflected in two-dimensional overlap. Not to mention how to research qualified carbon-based superconducting materials, it is a big problem to just form a wire without losing superconducting characteristics."
When studying controlled nuclear fusion, Lu Yi has always been concerned about international theoretical discoveries and technological breakthroughs involving this area. In addition, during this period of study and sleeping in the laboratory, he himself is a researcher with a scientist whose potential is about to reach 90 and is a genius level. He is aware of the various disadvantages of graphene superconducting proposed by Hu Feng.
"No, boss."
Hu Feng shook his head: "The real significance of graphene superconducting phenomenon lies in that it proves that metal materials are not necessarily needed to have superconducting phenomena. Other materials may be superconducting materials, which makes the ideas for superconducting research much broader.
Carbon-based superconducting materials may have a great future or may just be a flash in the pan.
However, as metal-related superconducting materials are in a bottleneck and all parameters are unable to meet the needs of nuclear fusion devices for a long time, we can consider turning the research center into carbon-based superconducting materials."
[How many points are the theoretical data of the system, carbon-based superconducting materials?]
A new technology must have a theoretical framework, and the parameters at the data level are the basis for guiding actual operations, unless this technology, such a material, accidentally knocks over something or presses the wrong button.
Of course, this is not as good as the algorithm data in the IT industry. There are still many problems in converting such material technology into practical applications.
For Lu Yi, the existence of a system is not only the potential of scientists, but another function is the touchstone.
Theories on the system prove that this direction is feasible.
The higher the redemption points, it proves that the technology corresponding to this theoretical data is more useful to the current civilization as a whole.
[Host, 5.43 million points, your points are insufficient]
I wonder if it was Lu Yi's illusion, but he felt the systematic answer hesitate.
[System, have you raised the price secretly, or have your prices been inflated again?
The data of genetic error replication theory is only 1.2 million points, which contains the mystery of cancer terminators and the theory of the key to gene optimization!]
Lu Yi subconsciously and neatly questioned the system. This became his instinct after he knew that the system belonged to information life and had independent consciousness.
After all, a self-conscious information life lives in his mind. No one will be suspicious and always subconsciously guarded. Lu Yi has not become a mentally ill by such insecurity. It is considered that his personality is heartless.
"Boss? Boss..."
The system ignored the occasional neuroticism of Lu Yi, the host. Hu Feng saw Lu Yi in silence for a while, and thought he had something wrong with his thoughts, so he couldn't help but shout.
"It's okay, I'm thinking about what kind of structure should be used for carbon-based superconducting materials to form wire coils without losing their superconducting characteristics."
Lu Yi waved his hand, and finally believed in Hu Feng, a scientist with a potential of 95.5 and the information reflected in the low-force system's points redemption price in this regard.
"Next, your research focus will be based on Brother Hu's plan. Of course, we can also allocate some research power to conduct research on conventional metal superconducting materials. The number of researchers recruited now is enough to support these research projects.
I reiterate that the person who leads the research is Hu Feng, the head of your project research. You all follow Brother Hu’s instructions in the research. My opinions are for reference only.”
"boss......"
Hu Feng shouted with a little excited expression, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by Lu Yi: "Brother Hu, you know materials better than me. Leaving professional matters to more professional people is the principle of my laboratory, otherwise what do I do if I come to you to be the project research leader?
You have the full right to decide on the matters related to laboratory research. Just ask your assistant to give me a weekly report on the experimental progress. You can apply for any equipment and instruments you need. You can also contact me or Xu Ying for other administrative and life matters."
Lu Yi's words express great trust in Hu Feng, which is something that Hu Feng never felt before...
