Chapter 220 This time you are the representative of China
The judges on the jury held different opinions on the high-temperature superconductivity mechanism proposed by Xu You.
Some judges believe that this is a groundbreaking theory and is fully qualified to win this year's Nobel Prize in Physics.
Some reviewers also believe that so far, no results have been able to prove the correctness of Xu You’s theory.
There was only that piece of news without any detailed information; even the molecular formula of the specific superconducting material was not announced.
By those standards, this is not an achievement that represents an outstanding contribution to humanity.
Unless there are other theories or phenomena to support Xu You's theory.
…
Over this period of time, the forming technology of 202K superconducting materials has been continuously improving.
The method proposed by Xu You is very costly in terms of molding process and is also relatively complicated to implement.
But it is enough to complete the molding and preparation of 202K superconducting materials.
Considering its future significance, such a high cost is completely acceptable.
On this day, Xing Shuping called Xu You and Qiao Sen to his office.
"After many days of hard work, the 202K superconducting material can finally be made into a half-meter long wire strip structure. After testing, its stability is qualified and it is ready for application."
"Academician Xing, this half-meter long wire must be expensive, right?" Qiao Sen said with a smile.
"It can be said that its price is inestimable. The value of the diamond anvils consumed in the preparation process alone has exceeded one million yuan."
In this diamond anvil device, a specially made diamond anvil is required, and cheap artificial diamonds cannot be used.
The cost of each pair of diamond anvils is around 20,000 yuan.
"With such high costs, civilian use is definitely out of the question for the time being. I guess only devices at the level of quantum computers can use this technology."
After talking about the progress of the latest project, Xing Shuping told Xu You and Qiao Sen another thing.
"Xu You, please take some time to write a paper on the discovery of 150K superconducting materials. The news from above is that this result can be published."
Xu You and Qiao Sen were both a little surprised when they heard Xing Shuping's words.
"Academician Xing, is it ready to be published?"
"Yes. There are also some other requirements. The algorithm technology you used to find superconductors cannot be mentioned in the results. Some key points cannot be reflected in detail in the paper. We hope to publish this paper in a domestic journal. Of course, the results belong to you personally. As for the bonus, we will provide it at double the standard of N/S."
After listening to this, Xu You suddenly understood why this paper had to be published in a domestic journal.
If published in a domestic journal, the review part will be easier to control, and there will be no problem even if many things cannot be reflected in the paper.
In other words, we have the final say in our own journal.
"There is one more thing. We know that recently, some foreign academic organizations want to invite you to participate in academic exchanges. According to your current situation, it is definitely not a good idea to go abroad rashly. But we also advocate academic exchanges. So we want to hold an academic exchange meeting in Jijing and invite some top scientists from home and abroad to exchange ideas together."
"Academician Xing, I want to participate too, right?"
"Of course, you are one of the representatives of China and the protagonist of the academic exchange meeting. Many great scientists are very interested in your theory of the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity. Our Chinese contribution to the world's physics community is still very limited. This is a matter related to the progress of human science."
Xu You always felt that there was something else behind Xing Shuping's words, and he didn't dare to say what Xing Shuping meant.
"Academician Xing, can you share all the details of the theory?"
"It will definitely not be as detailed as what we said in the project team, because time is relatively limited. You can write a draft first, and we will help you review it. The disclosure of theories can help humans better understand the universe. And technological progress can enable China to develop better. We must coordinate the relationship between the two."
This time, Xu You roughly understood what Xing Shuping meant.
"Okay, Academician Xing, I understand. I will write the paper when I get back and prepare the manuscript for the academic exchange meeting."
After returning, Xu You began writing the paper on the discovery of 150K superconducting materials.
In the method of finding this material, Xu You did not mention anything related to software simulation and algorithms, deliberately avoiding the past.
After all, if Xu You's simulation algorithm is used, as long as there is a supercomputer, other people can also find those superconductor materials.
Because the application value of this material is relatively low, its greater significance is that it has achieved a breakthrough in the critical temperature of superconductivity under normal pressure and confirmed the correctness of Xu You's high-temperature superconductivity mechanism.
Xu You felt that this was the reason why the higher-ups were confident in making this achievement public.
The news about superconductors with higher superconducting critical temperatures that were discovered later has not been announced yet and remains confidential.
After completing the first draft of the paper, Xu You sent it to Xing Shuping.
After internal review, Xu You received a reply.
This time, Xu You needed to make many changes.
Even more revisions are required than submitting to a journal like Nature.
This is not because there is any problem with Xu You’s paper itself.
However, in order to meet the publication standards, corresponding modifications must be made.
Under the suggestion of Xing Shuping and others, this paper will be published in the core journal of Ji University.
The core journals of Jilin University are among the top academic journals in China, and their status in China is second only to the core journals of Jinan University.
Although it is a domestic journal, it is not easy to publish a paper in it.
The journal has high requirements for author qualifications and article quality.
Each issue contains only a dozen articles.
Of course, in Xu You's case, not only does it not require a long review period, but it can also be published as the chief article.
After this paper was published.
In the short term, it also did not cause much waves on the Internet.
After all, Xu You has published papers in "Nature" and "Science", so publishing a paper in a core journal of Ji University is naturally not big news.
But after people in the physics circle learned the news, they still started discussing it heatedly.
"The paper on 150K high-temperature superconducting materials has finally been published! As expected, this is the new type of high-temperature superconducting material discovered by Xu You!"
"I finally got the follow-up news, it's been so long. But why is it published in the core journal of Jida University instead of PRL or other top foreign journals?"
