Early the next morning, Fang Xu pushed open the door of the laboratory with a pair of panda eyes.
Looking at the busy researchers in the lab, a hint of confusion appeared in Fang Xu's eyes.
Where was Lv Yongchang?
He hurriedly pulled a researcher who passed by his side and asked, "Where did Lv ... Lv Yongchang go?"
A few moments of surprise appeared in that researcher's eyes, then he reached out and pointed to the depths of the laboratory.
"Prof. Lv arrived a long time ago, when we came, he was busy in the lab!"
He didn't know since when, Lv Yongchang had become "Professor Lv" in the mouths of these researchers.
Fang Xu was also too lazy to correct the name in their mouths.
After all, after seeing Lv Yongchang's skillful and confident scientific research methods, not to mention these researchers, even Fang Xu felt a little admiration from the bottom of his heart!
If he didn't know Lv Yongchang's identity, he probably would have mistaken Lv Yongchang's real identity as a senior professor!
After recovering his reverie, Fang Xu hurriedly turned his head to look at the wall clock.
6:45.
He was secretly staggered.
Sure enough, every person's success was not by chance.
Fang Xu sighed in his heart while accelerating his steps towards the depths of the laboratory.
...
Perhaps hearing the sound of approaching footsteps, Lv Yongchang shifted his own gaze away from the device in front of the lab bench.
Seeing the dark circles under his eyes on Fang Xu's face, he couldn't help but stare.
"What's wrong with you?"
Fang Xu smiled and waved his hand, full of concern, "Ha! It's nothing! I was a bit unable to sleep last night!"
"Why don't ... you go and rest for a while?" Lv Yongchang said with a concerned face, "Anyway, there's no task today, as long as we test the superconducting properties of the carbon nanotubes, we'll be fine."
A trace of excitement flashed in Fang Xu's eyes and he directly burst out, "Rest my ass! My dark circles are simmering out because of this, and you're still letting me rest?!"
"Where are the wires? Quickly let me take a look!"
Looking at Academician Fang's excited appearance, Lu Yongchang couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
He sidestepped and let out the device on the lab bench.
A glass cover with a diameter of 30 centimeters.
Fang Xu hurriedly took two steps forward to the side of the glass cover.
Through the glass cover, he clearly saw a section of black wire about ten centimeters long connected to two metal probes.
The wire was very thin.
With the naked eye, it was almost as thin as a hair.
Fang Xu reached out his hand, flexed his fingers, and gently knocked on the glass cover, "Is ... there a vacuum in here?"
Lv Yongchang shook his head and denied, "Of course not, right now it's just a small dust free room, you shouldn't want to see some dust affecting the results of the experiment, right?"
But soon, he spoke again and added, "To be precise, it's currently not a vacuum environment."
While saying this, Lv Yongchang pointed to the instrument for vacuuming on the side.
Fang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly.
The amount of information contained in this sentence was much larger.
"Could it be that ... this material can also realize superconductivity in a vacuum environment?!"
Lv Yongchang reached out and took a piece of written A4 paper from the experimental table and handed it to Fang Xu, "According to my projections, superconducting wires composed of carbon nanotubes are extremely stable in nature, and the normal operating temperature range is between minus 50 degrees Celsius and 80 degrees Celsius."
Fang Xu's eyes snapped to life and quickly opened his mouth to ask, "What about the air pressure?"
"Within two standard atmospheric pressures."
"Hiss!"
Hearing Lv Yongchang's answer, Fang Xu jerked back a breath of cool air.
Good fellow!
If it was really like what Lv Yongchang had calculated, this superconducting wire made of carbon nanotubes could be utilized in almost any corner of the earth!
Even in the deep sea where the pressure was extremely high, only a section of pressure-resistant conduit would need to be added!
This also meant that the electric power industry in Xia, would usher in a sky-rocketing change!
"Yongchang ... do you realize what you've done?"
Associating a series of changes that would occur in the future, Fang Xu stood frozen in place and muttered.
A smirk emerged from the corner of his eyes, but he did not say anything.
He naturally knew what this lead meant!
Although these technologies are somewhat advanced for the current Xia State, ... it is still far from enough to cope with future disasters!
After admiring the carbon nanotube wires on the lab bench, Fang Xu said with a gloomy expression, "Start testing!"
...
Learning that the first test of the room temperature superconducting coil was about to begin, all the researchers in the lab put down the scientific research tasks that were still unfinished in their hands and converged on Lu Yongchang's side.
This was an opportunity to witness history!
No one would be willing to miss such an opportunity!
Lu Yongchang gulped slightly and carefully reached out his hand to connect the metal probes at both ends of the wire to the instrument for testing.
Although he was confident in the materials he had made,...
Materials science stuff, who can say for sure?
Maybe there was an accident in the manufacturing process that caused the inclination of the carbon nanotubes to change by 1°, or something else ...
It can be said that as long as there is a slight error, this room temperature superconducting material is a failure!
While thinking in his head, he dialed the switch of the test instrument.
It began to energize!
A number appeared on the test instrument's screen.
Resistance value: 0 Ω!
Success!
A trace of excitement flashed in Lu Yongchang's eyes.
"Increase the current some more!"
Fang Xu's excited voice came from the side.
Lv Yongchang immediately twisted the knob and slowly increased the current.
Upon seeing the resistance value on the instrument's screen without the slightest fluctuation, all the researchers in the lab let out soft exclamations of surprise.
Unlike the researchers around him, the expression on Lv Yongchang's face was still very grave.
The test was not over yet.
He still needed to test the material's performance in a low air pressure environment!
Lv Yongchang made a wink towards Fang Xu on the side.
Fang Xu gently nodded and turned on the vacuuming instrument on the side.
With a low humming sound coming from it, the air inside the glass cover was gradually drawn out.
Watching the value on the barometer slowly decrease, even Lu Yongchang pinched a cold sweat.
It was important to know that the reaction of superconducting materials to environmental changes was extremely drastic!
In the past, once the temperature or pressure of the superconducting material changed a little, it would directly lead to the disappearance of the superconducting effect!
Under the action of this powerful current, once the superconducting effect of the wire disappears, even if the resistance value is very small, it will instantly produce extremely powerful heat.
The consequence ... is naturally that this current world's only room temperature superconducting wire will melt!
Dozens of seconds later.
Looking at the rippling resistance curve on the screen of the testing instrument, Lu Yongchang's face finally revealed a bright smile.
He gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, raised his own right hand high, and shouted, "It worked!"
"We made it!"
Fang Xu, who was beside him, turned off one of the instruments with an excited face, excitedly rushed to Lv Yongchang's side, and patted his shoulder vigorously, "Good job!"
"Normal temperature superconducting technology is available, Academician Fang, we should prepare for the remodeling of the Star Imitation Vehicle!" Lv Yongchang quickly pulled himself out of the joy of success and said in a deep voice.
Fang Xu nodded with an excited expression.
"I'll go and inform the lab staff that we'll start the remodeling work of the Star Imitation Vehicle this afternoon!"
