Chapter 200 We can assume that its resistance is 0
The moment I saw the material's resistance data curve dive on the computer screen .
Everyone understands what this represents.
"The measured resistance of the material is already below 10^-25Ω. We can consider it to be zero resistance."
Due to the rigor of scientific research, Qiao Sen tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and tried not to show any subjective emotions in his words.
Even so, everyone could feel Qiao Sen's excitement from his words.
"Found it, we set a new superconducting critical temperature record! 150K!"
Xing Shuping did not want to suppress his excitement. This moment was worth celebrating.
Over the past few days, we have been working on the project, academic exchanges, the search for superconducting materials, and the preparation of the materials.
Xing Shuping is very clear about the hardships of the whole process.
This road is indeed too difficult to walk on.
But when everyone sees the results, the excitement they feel is irreplaceable.
This makes everyone feel that all the hard work these days is worth it.
At this time, Xu You was also very excited.
From the initial contact with superconductors, to the discovery of many new superconductors, to the study of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity, to the creation of the record for the critical temperature of superconductivity under normal pressure.
Along the way, the effort Xu You has put in is immeasurable.
Everyone knows very well that Xu You is indeed worthy of being the backbone of the entire team.
Even though Xu You is in the team, he doesn't have a very high title.
But this does not affect Xu You's importance in the team.
"Xu You, you are such a great scientist! Even American scientists can't do it, but you did it!"
"This is the superconducting critical temperature at normal pressure , without any water!"
"And this is just the first batch of materials we are looking for. We will definitely be able to make further breakthroughs next time!"
These professors, who are decades older than Xu You, are now completely impressed by Xu You's abilities.
Even if Xu You, as the project leader, was asked to arrange the tasks, they would not have any complaints.
This is an achievement that no one in the world has ever achieved!
Even if Xu You is a little younger, so what?
After everyone has released their emotions.
Xing Shuping gathered everyone together and said:
"Today's experimental results prove that we are on the right track. Of course, today's results are still a long way from real application. I will report our latest progress to my superiors and wait for their approval. You can go back and rest for a few days, and then we will discuss and formulate the next plan."
After the superiors learned the news, they quickly discussed it internally.
First of all, the project must continue, and investment can continue to increase.
The breakthrough in the critical temperature of superconductivity under normal pressure was achieved so quickly, and the upper limit of this project is likely to be very high.
Such high-temperature superconducting materials will have great application value.
Through this phased success, Xu You's ability was once again recognized.
I believe that from now on, no one will have any prejudice against Xu You because of his age.
In addition, there was some discussion internally about whether this news should be announced to the public.
Finally, everyone analyzed the pros and cons of the two options and made a unified decision:
Announce the news to the public.
However, the text of the message should be as small as possible and should not reveal any detailed information.
Just one day later, Xing Shuping called everyone together again and held an emergency meeting.
Originally they thought that it would take at least a few days to wait for their superiors to give instructions.
The speed at which the approval was given this time is enough to prove how much importance the internal department attaches to this project.
After all the project members arrived, Xing Shuping began to preside over the meeting.
"I received instructions from my superiors today. The project can go on. Now I will tell you a few main things."
"First, we will continue to increase our investment in the search for new high-temperature superconductors. 150K is a good start, but it is far from the end."
Hearing this news, Xu You felt deeply in agreement.
Xu You’s expectation for the project is to at least find a superconductor above 195K.
Although going from 138K to 150K seems to be a big improvement.
However, the type of coolant cannot be changed, and liquid nitrogen still needs to be used as the coolant.
Therefore, it can only save a little cost but cannot achieve qualitative change.
195K is the next threshold point.
Once this threshold point is reached, dry ice can be used as a coolant, which is a qualitative change.
"The second thing is about material preparation. Although we have completed the synthesis of 150K materials, there is still a long way to go before they can be applied. Next, our experts in the material field need to overcome the material molding and preparation process, with the goal of being able to make continuous wire strip materials."
Xu You had not thought much about this before, but after listening to Xing Shuping's words, Xu You quickly understood it.
Just because the material is produced does not mean it can be used in applications.
Most of the current superconducting materials are used in the field of high power. If they cannot be made into continuous wire and strip materials, their application value will be greatly reduced.
"The third thing is that Xu You will serve as the chief researcher of the project, mainly responsible for the research of superconducting properties. Xu You has made great contributions to the project before. Xu You, you must keep up the good work, and everyone else must cooperate with Xu You's work."
The professors in the conference room were not very surprised by the news.
Although Xu You did not have any title before, his importance in the team is unquestionable.
It can be said that in the entire team, only Xu You is irreplaceable.
This time, it was just giving Xu You a title so that Xu You could carry out his subsequent work more legitimately.
Xu You was somewhat surprised at the title he suddenly received.
Before he had any title, Xu You could still enjoy doing scientific research with peace of mind.
This time, Xu You really has to set an example in the project.
"The fourth thing is that we will announce to the outside world in the near future that we have discovered a material with a superconducting critical temperature of 150K. This is a new superconducting critical temperature record under normal pressure. But the higher-ups require that we cannot release any details other than these. Everyone should also be careful not to disclose the details of our project to any outsiders, not even your family members."
After discussing a few important things, Xing Shuping left Xu You and Qiao Sen alone again.
