"What?!"
As Lv Yongchang finished speaking, Fang Xu's eyes widened slightly and he exclaimed, "Can you solve the problem of room-temperature superconducting materials?"
Fang Xu's reaction made Hong Qiming frown.
"Room-temperature superconductivity... As I recall, our country should have this technology, right?"
"Last time I saw a report saying that a famous academician of the Academy of Sciences had made a breakthrough in room-temperature superconducting technology!"
Fang Xu glanced at Hong Qiming helplessly and said softly, "Minister Hong, you should be talking about the paper that Academician Hu Changping published in Nature magazine some time ago!"
Hong Qiming's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Academician Fang, you have a good memory. I'm talking about the paper by Academician Hu Changping!"
"What? Doesn't that technique work?"
Fang Xu showed a bitter smile in his eyes and shook his head slowly.
"Although the superconducting material made by Academician Hu Changping achieved superconductivity at room temperature of 15 degrees Celsius,... this actually has prerequisites."
"It is achieved at a pressure of 267 billion Pa, which is about one million times the standard tire pressure!"
"What's more, the amount of material that Professor Hu Changping used to produce superconductivity in the diamond pressure chamber is extremely small!"
"It even needs to be expressed in the unit of picoliter!"
Seeing the doubtful look in Hong Qiming's eyes, Fang Xu quickly added: "Picoliter is a unit of measurement. 1 picoliter is approximately 10^-9 milliliters!"
Hong Qiming took a sharp breath.
Now he understood completely.
Such harsh conditions, such little material...
The idea of applying this technology to controlled nuclear fusion is simply a fantasy!
Fang Xu swallowed slightly and muttered to himself: "So far, I haven't heard of any country that has truly mastered this technology!"
Then he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and spoke again in a decisive tone.
"A truly room-temperature superconducting material needs to achieve superconductivity at room temperature and pressure!"
"This difficulty is extremely huge!"
Hong Qiming frowned.
Originally, when he heard Lu Yongchang's words, he was even a little excited.
Lu Yongchang's nonchalant and certain look gave him an illusion.
That is, room-temperature superconducting technology is very simple!
But now, under Fang Xu's cold water, Hong Qiming's heated head gradually calmed down.
He turned his head to look at Lu Yongchang who was calm and composed in front of him, frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can solve the problem of room-temperature superconducting materials?"
The corners of Lu Yongchang's mouth rose slightly, and he nodded slowly and firmly.
Yes, room-temperature superconducting technology is difficult.
But in his previous life, this technology had already been mastered.
Moreover, the scientist who solved this problem for Xia State was Lu Yongchang himself!
After a moment's silence, he slowly said, "I need a standard carbon nanomaterial laboratory and a few helpers."
"If nothing unexpected happens, give me a few days and I can present the results to you!"
Fang Xu's eyes moved slightly, obviously he learned some hidden information from Lu Yongchang's words.
He looked at Lu Yongchang in surprise, and his voice instantly rose an octave: "Are you sure that carbon nanomaterials can achieve room-temperature superconductivity?!"
Lu Yongchang was silent for a while, and he understood a message from Fang Xu's curious eyes.
"How about...you watch me do it?"
Fang Xu: "…It's not impossible."
Perhaps realizing that his intentions had been exposed, Fang Xu's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "Ahem, I'm not curious, I'm mainly worried that you are not familiar with the use of those experimental equipment..."
Lu Yongchang: "…"
…
Carbon Nanomaterials Laboratory, Sandaokou University.
"Student Lu...Student Lu, take a look and see if this laboratory can meet your requirements."
As he spoke, Fang Xu's eyes showed some awkwardness.
As an academician, this was his first time serving as a guide for a sophomore undergraduate student!
Fang Xu felt even more uncomfortable when he thought that he might become the assistant of this undergraduate student in the future.
No, we have to think of a way.
Or... let Lao Jiang get this kid a professorship?
It sounds better when you say it this way.
At least no one would say that he, an academician, works under an undergraduate student!
The more Fang Xu thought about it, the more reliable it seemed to him, and he immediately approved the proposal in his mind.
"A-choo!"
Lu Yongchang, who was walking in front, suddenly sneezed.
He turned his head with a suspicious look on his face and glanced at Fang Xu behind him.
I felt like there was a chill coming from behind me just now.
Could it be that Fang Xu was scolding him?
Facing Lu Yongchang's meaningful gaze, Fang Xu's expression suddenly froze!
Then, he forced a smile on his face: "Student Lu, please take a look and see if this laboratory is suitable. If not, we may have to go to a farther place to find a better laboratory."
Lu Yongchang turned around thoughtfully and looked at the instruments in the laboratory.
After taking a look, Lu Yongchang showed a bit of disgust in his eyes.
That's it?
In his previous life, he wouldn't even bother looking at a laboratory with this kind of configuration!
But now…
Why!
Just use it for what it is!
If Tony Stark could knock out the Mark I with his bare hands in a cave, he could certainly also create room-temperature superconducting materials in this "backward" laboratory!
"Just barely."
Lu Yongchang responded to Fang Xu's question calmly.
As for Fang Xu, the moment he heard Lu Yongchang's words, his eyes suddenly widened!
"reluctantly?!"
"Did you know that this is the best carbon nanomaterial laboratory at Sandaokou University?!"
"I'm not exaggerating, this laboratory is at least ranked in the top ten in Xia Country right now!"
Lu Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu, who was looking indignant beside him, speechlessly: "Didn't you just say that if it doesn't work, we can find a better lab?"
Fang Xu: "…"
"I, I was just being modest. Do you understand modesty?!"
Lu Yongchang raised his hands and said softly in a coaxing tone: "Okay, okay, okay... I take back what I said. This laboratory is very advanced and very good."
"Is this okay?"
Fang Xu: "…"
He swore that he had never been so speechless in his life!
He followed Fang Xu silently.
He wanted to take a good look at what this sophomore undergraduate student was capable of!
It can't be that you can't even recognize the name of the experimental equipment, right?
Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Fang Xu's eyes.
You know, in this laboratory in Sandaokou, many experimental equipment have just been updated!
Not to mention Lu Yongchang, an undergraduate student, even he felt a little unfamiliar with using it!
