Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

As the Ark had previously mentioned at the General Assembly of the Institute of Computing Materials, superconducting materials had always been an insurmountable candidate to overcome the challenge of controllable nuclear fusion.

And technological breakthroughs alone are not enough, and if they cannot be achieved in engineering, great miracles can only remain in the lab.

In the case of SG-1 materials, for example, as a major breakthrough in the field of superconducting, it has shown considerable promise in the field of application.

However, there is no experience in the production of carbon-based superconducting materials, either domestically or abroad, let alone in their application to engineering.

Thus, for the Ark, the dilemma to overcome now has to be solved, not only in the academic field he is good at, but also from outside the academic field.

Fortunately, however, this part of the work, he can be distributed to others to do…

Laboratory of the Institute of Computing Materials.

The chief engineer from Baosheng Group dared to stand in front of the Ark at this moment.

As a subsidiary of China National Aeronautics Industry Group and a leading company in the field of domestic superconducting materials, Baosheng Group has cooperated with research units such as China Academy of Sciences on several occasions to participate in major scientific research and engineering projects. As the Group's chief engineer, he was involved in most of these projects.

If one of the most prominent examples is the Shangjing Positive and Negative Electronic Collider (BESlll) project.

How hard it will be to say in the future, but for the time being, BESlll superconducting magnets still maintain records of the largest single superconducting magnets in China.

In addition, most of the construction units of several Tokamak superconducting magnets in the country, including EAST, can also see the image of the company.

Immediately after consulting Dr. Pan, Ark contacted the company and issued an invitation to cooperate in research and development.

After learning that the company that sent him the intention to cooperate in R&D was the Jinling Institute of Computing Materials, Baosheng Group sent the chief engineer of its own group without saying anything and gave the project the highest priority.

Even without discussing the Nobel Prize's halo and the status of the Ark in the materials world, a billion dollars of large-scale national scientific research projects is definitely a quality project.

However, after listening to the request of the Ark, Cao soon realized that it was not that simple.

“50T of superconducting magnets, you're going to use on a star mimetic, I'm afraid it's not that easy. ”

To get a stronger electromagnetic field, junior high school students probably know what to do, just increase the turns of the energized coil.

That said, however, when the magnetic field exceeds the 10T magnitude, trying to achieve engineering is simply better than going to heaven.

Ark: “Traditional materials are difficult to achieve, what if new materials are used? ”

Cao Gong's eyebrows picked: “You mean SG-1? ”

Although not from academia, he is still following the latest research progress in materials science since he is in the field of superconducting magnet engineering.

Especially the results of the SG-1 presentation at the MRS fall meeting, even though he had not seen the relevant papers and had not been to the scene, he had heard of its magical performance.

The ark nodded: "Yes, in fact, SG-1 is what I was involved in. ”

When he heard the words of the Ark, Cao Guo's face was surprised, but soon he returned to normal.

He had indeed heard before that the results of the study had come from the Flickr Chemical Laboratory in Princeton, and given that the Ark was a professor in Princeton, it was not surprising that he had participated in the study.

After a moment of reflection, Cao Gong cautiously asked: "Do you have a sample of SG-1 material here? ”

Ark: “It's not just a sample, you can see all kinds of experimental data here. Come with me. ”

Go ahead, Ark Zhou brought Cao Danwei to another laboratory, while indicating that Qian Zhongming was waiting in front of the computer, and pulled all the experimental data on the SG-1 material.

Some struggled to look at the data and graphs displayed on the computer screen, and the eyebrows of the carpenter thought for a long time before finally speaking.

“To be honest, I've never heard of the idea of using carbon-based materials to build superconducting magnetic tracks in years. ”

The Ark laughed, “Isn't science trying? ”

“That's true, but we're a business, and even if that sounds interesting, we have to think about it.” The handyman rubbed his chin, staring at the graph about the material resistivity and the time of energization in the superconducting state, and the current-painted curve for half a day, finally revealed an interested divine colour in his eyes, "… in theory it seemed feasible, but at the price of graphene, it would be costly to build a magnet that was about the size of the BESlll project. ”

Ark: “The issue of costs does not need to be considered, even if it costs a billion dollars, so long as the DEMO demonstration can be built, it is worth it. ”

Billions of dollars was just the first investment, and as long as he was able to produce enough excellent milestones, it was believed that many people would be willing to pay for his research.

“Since I don't think about the cost, I think I can give it a try." Speaking of which, Cao Gong paused for a moment and asked cautiously, "Can I take a few grams of the sample back to the study? ”

The Ark laughed and said happily, "Sure, but the experimental data on the computer doesn't work. It involves material that hasn't been released yet, so please just look here. ”

Cao Gang nodded understanding of the place: “I understand. ”

After sending people from the business side, Ark found Yang Xu, director of Computing Materials Research Institute.

“After the year, I intend to go to Germany. ”

Yang Xu: “Germany? ”

“Mainly because of the star imitation,” the ark nodded, continuing, "just on the way, I intend to purchase a new set of instruments, with a budget of about $100 million, and I need you to make a list and write down all the equipment you need. ”

Years later, he would expand the Institute and the associated hardware would have to keep pace.

As soon as I heard it was purchasing equipment, Yang Xu's face suddenly showed up. Smiled, "Well, just in time for us to do some superconducting material research, let's start with two transmitting lenses. ”

Although there is already one in the institute, getting two more means that two additional sets of data can be measured at the same time for the same experiment.

Especially transmitting electron mirrors, the materialistic artifact, if the budget is sufficient, no one will naturally be suspicious.

The boat's eyes didn't even blink and said, “Write it down and give it to me. ”

Paused for a moment, he continued.

“In addition, I intend to expand the pool of researchers to approximately two hundred or more. I'll have Startech contact the relevant headhunting company, and you'll be in charge of the talent selection. ”

Yang Xu nodded: “Don't worry, I will strictly close the door. Anything on the threshold, by the way? ”

Think about it, said the ark.

“At least it has to be post-doctoral. ”
