554 Chapter 542 Superconductivity

Spring City.

Wei Xihan opened the door of the superconducting laboratory.After a little cleaning, he led people to start their daily work, measuring.

Although the laboratory has not been fully completed, the main equipment has been installed.Due to the model and parameters of the new equipment, it is more than one generation better than the old equipment, and the efficiency is higher than that of the public laboratory.Therefore, students prefer to come here when the supporting equipment is not fully in place.

The new freezer gives operators a whole new experience.

The new model represents higher performance and easier operation.For example, refrigeration equipment has a faster cooling speed, which not only improves efficiency, but also reduces power consumption.

For superconducting measurement, the main time is spent on two things, one is the production of test samples, and the second is cooling down.

Wei Xihan took four groups of undergraduates here to take measurements.There are also two groups, using old equipment in large laboratories.

The scenery of the past few months has made her addicted.The grievances over the past few years have been wiped out.With the gradual expansion of the influence of the project, her popularity has also increased.

But besides being happy, she also had a sense of crisis.

Now even fools can see that the superconducting census project is too fast!

Multiple schools go hand in hand, 10 research groups are going on at the same time!

Individuals can see that this situation cannot be sustained.Both funds and the types of commonly available compounds are limited.

But the more this is the case, the faster the experiment will be.

Everyone wants to finish their work as soon as possible and start the next round as soon as possible.

Everyone is like a player in the game of drumming and passing flowers, throwing away the things in their hands quickly, so that you can meet the next challenge more attentively.

Wei Xihan's group got three groups of compounds, but she organized 6 groups of students, 18 people, to measure at the same time.

This approach has also received support from the department.

What everyone grabs is not only the progress, but also the funding, thesis, title, salary, and even the diploma.

Lin University’s postgraduate program is a three-year program, but due to the publication of a few papers, the two graduate students in the group can actually graduate early.Their professional courses are finished this semester.

————————

Wei Xihan has evolved into a small boss, as long as he arranges people and things every day, he doesn't need to do it himself.After many rounds of practice, the new essay was easy and enjoyable for her, just filling out the form.

She has been patrolling the laboratory all morning.These scientific research dogs are all senior students and will soon have winter vacation.She hopes that after this test, she can take the short gap before the holiday to measure more data.

Due to the low power consumption of the new instrument, more tests were moved to the new laboratory.The cost of measuring each material is actually reduced.In other words, more samples can be measured for the same expense.

In addition, electricity bills can be cut first and played later because they can be in arrears.

Now that the measurement speed has increased, you can start a new round of material testing without waiting for the next project discussion!

Facing the fait accompli of the bill, I believe that the foundation fund and Cheng Yongxing can only recognize it.

Wei Xihan sighed. She didn't want to make the situation so ugly, but so many schools wanted to rush in and eat a bite of Tang Seng meat, so she couldn't do it alone.

There is no other way, so she can only take advantage of her sharp teeth and eat two more bites.

Wei Xihan still complained slightly to Cheng Yongxing for not helping her keep this gold mine.

Why didn't you resist it?

Is it really because I reconciled with my girlfriend and gave up on me?

This person is too realistic.

————————

Wei Xihan raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was almost half past ten, and she decided to go to the large laboratory to check the situation.

Her job is constant inspections, and the two laboratories work together under her coordination.

"Sister Wei, the data is abnormal!"

"whats the matter?"

Wei Xihan strode towards Zheng Shanyan, a senior girl who raised her hands.

She is most afraid of accidents and abnormalities.

Any equipment damage or accident means a loss of time. While wasting funds, it also loses valuable opportunities to lead.

There are mostly girls in her group, partly because the girls are careful and there are advantages to doing this kind of project.The other is that she has resentment towards boys.She was completely defeated in the competition with boys. If Cheng Yongxing did not show up, she would have to rely on beauty.

Zheng Shanyan's problem is not a problem with the equipment, but with the experimental results and data, which does not conform to the dull data convention for more than three consecutive months.

A very simple ionic compound, magnesium diboride, was detected as superconducting at a high temperature of 39K!

Wei Xihan has done superconductivity experiments for so long, not an expert, but also an expert.She suddenly remembered a word someone said casually a few months ago,

"There may also be other theories."

The initial excuse for this superconductivity survey project was to find new superconductivity theories, instead of doing endless surveys.

Since there has been nothing to discover, even Wei Xihan almost forgot about it.Slowly, the core work of this group has become testing for test data.

But today, the situation has changed. Zheng Shanyan is careful enough, and Wei Xihan is sensitive enough. Now a new superconductivity theory is needed.

Wei Xihan acted decisively, stopped all the experiments, and left Zheng Shanyan to do another repeated experiment. When the results were verified, the laboratory was closed.

Zheng Shanyan was urged by thousands to keep her secret, and she agreed.

————————

After dinner in the afternoon, Professor Zhang led a group of physics professors into the unfinished superconducting laboratory.

After seeing the strange experimental data with their own eyes, soon everyone began to calculate and quarrel.Then use the electron microscope to observe and argue again.

Lin University does not actually have a superconducting material expert, but there is no shortage of physics experts and materials experts.

Since the superconducting laboratory is about to be completed, it is the first idea of ​​most people to get a few projects first.

Because it has been limited by external conditions, the tradition of Chinese universities and research institutes is that the goal of each person's experimental projects and topics is not what I want to do, but what can I do?

Therefore, the superconducting laboratory has essentially changed the research direction of many people.Most of Lin has a dozen experts in the field of superconductivity.

After a few days of quarreling, a preliminary consensus was finally reached, and a heavyweight paper was formed.

"Superconductivity of Multi-zone and Multi-Fermi Surfaces"

The paper was submitted to Nature, everyone held their breath and waited for the result.

At the same time, a temporary superconducting team was set up, and people kept working on related theories to conduct in-depth research.

The early stage of any new theory discovery is the easiest time to produce results.
