Chapter 16 - 16.Is that a gift?

"Hmm? This scanning electron microscope is not bad!"

Lv Yongchang's voice came from the front, "It should be the latest model now, right?"

Fang Xu jerked his head up towards Lv Yongchang.

"Huh? This Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer is also new, right?"

"And ..."

"Not bad, not bad ... I was the one who misspoke just now, I didn't realize that there are still some good things in this lab!"

Fang Xu's eyes revealed a few moments of surprise.

The name of every single instrument was said correctly!

Even the latest few machines, Lu Yongchang accurately reported its name.

"... You recognize these instruments?" Fang Xu hesitated for a moment and opened his mouth to ask.

Lv Yongchang glanced at Fang Xu with an odd expression, "Of course I recognize them."

"If I don't even recognize the instruments, what am I doing here?"

Fang Xu's breath snapped.

What was said was so reasonable that he couldn't even refute it!

But ... this is also too contrary to common sense, right?

The equipment in this lab, not to mention undergraduates, it is estimated that most graduate students do not recognize all of it!

How did Lv Yongchang, an undergraduate who had just entered his second year of college, recognize it?

Seemingly seeing Fang Xu's doubt, Lv Yongchang explained with a light smile, "I've read a lot of papers, so I naturally understand these devices."

Fang Xu's face was a little odd.

But ... well, it was at least a telling explanation.

"Yongchang, let me ask you a very important question first."

Fang Xu's eyes flashed through a few tangled points, "Do you, really, use these instruments?"

"Or rather, have you ever used these instruments?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Lv Yongchang directly shook his head.

"Of course I haven't used them! Academician Fang, I'm just a sophomore undergraduate, how can I come into contact with these high-end instruments?"

Fang Xu was instantly anxious!

"Then you're still talking to Minister Hong ..."

Lv Yongchang smiled and opened his mouth to interrupt Fang Xu, "However, I know how to use these instruments, so you can rest assured!"

Saying that, Lv Yongchang turned his head to look at an instrument beside him, and with his mouth open, he spoke out the details of its usage process.

Listening to the usage process without any mistakes in Lv Yongchang's mouth, Fang Xu froze in place.

After a long time, he opened his mouth with difficulty and asked, "This ... this also came from you reading the literature?"

Lu Yongchang nodded, and cast a strange gaze at Fang Xu, "Of course! What else?"

Fang Xu: "..."

He took a deep breath and reached out again to rub his somewhat stiff face fiercely.

Okay!

Maybe there really were geniuses in the world!

"When do we start?"

Fang Xu chose to digress.

Lv Yongchang looked at the several researchers in white coats waiting at the entrance of the laboratory and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Right now!"

...

Looking at Lv Yongchang's flowing operation statement, Fang Xu once again fell into silence.

"This ... this is also what you learned from your thesis?"

"Didn't you say that you haven't touched the experimental equipment?"

Fang Xu looked at Lv Yongchang in front of him with a frantic face.

In just half an hour, Lv Yongchang had already operated three instruments one after another.

Originally, in Fang Xu's imagination, Lv Yongchang should be a pure 'theory worker'.

In other words, Lv Yongchang would make a lot of mistakes when he was actually operating.

This situation was very common.

After all, there is a huge gap between theory and actual operation.

For material science and technology, a small operational error would lead to a huge difference in the final result!

Even Fang Xu was ready to "wipe his ass" for Lu Yongchang!

However!

The scene that happened just half an hour ago completely shattered Fang Xu's worldview!

Lv Yongchang's series of operations were as smooth as a veteran in the laboratory!

Not only was there not the slightest mistake, he even noticed quite a few points that Fang Xu hadn't even noticed!

"Right, it's true that I've never touched an experimental equipment in my life."

Lv Yongchang said lightly with a faint smile hanging at the corner of his mouth.

Didn't say it wrong!

These so-called latest experimental equipments were all left over from his previous life's play!

Fang Xu had a shit-eating expression, "Then you ..."

"Academician Fang, there are times when talent is still important!"

While saying that, Lu Yongchang reached out and gently patted Fang Xu's shoulder, "You get it, right?"

Fang Xu: "..."

After easily overcoming his inner shock, Fang Xu asked towards Lv Yongchang with some curiosity, "Why did you choose carbon nanomaterials to realize room temperature superconductivity?"

Hearing Fang Xu's question, Lv Yongchang slowly stopped the work in his hands and said softly, "When two layers of parallel graphene are stacked at an angle of about 1.1°, a superconducting effect will occur."

Fang Xu's pupils shrunk slightly.

"This ... is true?"

Lv Yongchang smiled and said, "You can give it a try, aren't there so many free instruments beside it?"

A few hours later.

"Oh my god ... it's actually true!"

Fang Xu looked at the instrument screen in front of him with a shocked face.

"Yongchang, how did you discover this phenomenon?"

Lu Yongchang said softly while bending down to operate the equipment on the experimental table, "I projected it, and I haven't seen the actual scene."

Fang Xu was somewhat speechless, "You dare to say that even if you haven't seen it?"

"Then, what if it's wrong?"

"Doesn't that mean all is lost?!"

"It won't be wrong!" Lv Yongchang straightened up, his eyes flashed with confidence, "I have confidence in myself!"

Fang Xu: "..."

I don't know why, since he knew Lv Yongchang, Fang Xu felt that his time of being speechless had increased significantly!

...

Three days later.

Lv Yongchang and Fang Xu looked at the display screen of the scanning electron microscope with unblinking eyes.

In the screen, there was a section of material that appeared cylindrical!

"Yongchang, is this what you said, a carbon nanotube?"

"Are you sure that this carbon nanotube can realize room temperature superconductivity?"

Fang Xu had skepticism written all over his face.

It was no wonder that he was skeptical, it was really because in these three days, he basically did nothing.

Apart from playing a hand and running errands, the really important operations were all done by Lv Yongchang alone!

As an academician who led a team all year round, it had to be said that this was really an extremely novel experience!

Facing Fang Xu's questioning, Lv Yongchang did not say anything, but looked serious as he maneuvered the microscope to continuously change several observation angles.

It was only after seeing the standard nanotube structure in the screen that Lv Yongchang slowly let out a long breath of relief.

"That's right, this is it!"

After saying that, Lv Yongchang estimated the time and revealed a few regretful colors in his eyes.

"It's a pity, according to the current manufacturing speed, we won't be able to see the results until at least tomorrow!"

Fang Xu glanced at Lv Yongchang's side face full of regret with an odd expression.

This was still a pity?

Four days to come up with an experimental sample of a room temperature superconductor, wasn't that fast enough?

One must know that the time spent on the introduction of any new material was calculated in years!
