Chapter 127 [The country attaches great importance to room temperature superconductivity]
Around 15:00 in the afternoon.
At a time when the whole Internet is hotly debated, the media is reporting overwhelmingly, and various rankings are hotly searched.
People from the National Secrecy Bureau, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the military and other relevant departments had already appeared in Linzhou in a low-key manner and came to visit. Xiao Yu was not surprised. It was impossible for the national level to make such a big news and move. It is impossible not to see, let alone not understand, the significance of the emergence of room temperature superconducting materials.
However, Xiao Yu was quite surprised to move so quickly and have such a large lineup.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yu met them at AVIC Linfei Company. The person in charge of the team this time was named Zhao Heyang. In addition, Ying Weiping also came.
There were also experts in superconducting research in the team that came with him. Xiao Yu also provided them with a piece of room temperature superconducting material first, and asked these experts to conduct experiments on the material using the relevant instruments and equipment of the company's Basic Application Research Department. A test.
In the end, experts confirmed that this was a room-temperature superconducting material, and Xiao Yu’s description at the press conference was not an exaggeration at all.
Then the two parties sat down and talked in a reception room of the company.
Zhao Heyang looked at Xiao Yu and said: "Comrade Xiao Yu, the room temperature superconducting material you have developed is of great significance and has a huge impact. It complies with the "Science and Technology Confidentiality Regulations". The country attaches great importance to this and needs to and related technologies are subject to high standards of protection and control.”
Zhao Heyang added: "In general, your company cannot put this material into the commercial market at will, and cannot sell it to whomever it wants. It needs to report to the relevant national departments for review, and exports will be strictly controlled. ”
Xiao Yu nodded: "I know this."
The impact of room temperature superconducting materials is so great that it far exceeds the mass production technology of graphene materials. Once it is announced, it will definitely be classified as a top secret technology and protected by the country. Xiao Yu naturally knows this, and has no idea about it. Accident.
After a while, Ying Weiping, who was also present, asked: "What is the production capacity of room temperature superconducting materials? What are the production costs?"
Regarding this matter, Xiao Yu had already calculated the data a long time ago. He pretended to think deeply for a while, and then replied: "The specific production cost cannot be calculated until the factory construction is completed, but after a rough estimate, The cost of room temperature superconducting materials may range from 800 yuan to 1,000 yuan per gram.”
Ying Weiping was greatly surprised: "So the cost is not very high. It is roughly the same as the price of the scientific research-grade graphene material produced by your company, which is seven or eight times greater than it. The cost is lower than I expected." Quite a few.”
Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "We can't generalize like this. The demand for use scenarios is huge. If this cost is used for long-distance transmission cables, it is absolutely unbearable. For example, for military use, if we use this new material to develop The improved version of the J-20 fighter jet has high maneuverability and vertical take-off and landing capabilities. The body structure requires at least three or four tons of room temperature superconducting nanocomposite materials to achieve it. ”
"Not counting other costs, the cost of room temperature superconducting materials alone is 3.2 billion to 4 billion. According to the currently disclosed cost of a J-20 fighter jet of about 700 million, this is enough to build five or six J-20 fighters. budget cost”
Xiao Yu added: "Synthesizing this kind of room temperature superconducting material not only requires a huge amount of electric energy, but also the synthesis time is urgent. This is the key factor restricting production capacity. Expanding the production line regardless of cost to increase absolute output, the cost The total would be astronomical.”
"The key is that I think there is a lot of room for improvement in synthetic technology. When so many production lines are just built and are eliminated by the improved technology, wouldn't it mean that the astronomical investment has been wasted?"
After hearing this, Ying Weiping nodded to himself. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xiao Yu again and asked, "How much can the annual production capacity be in the short term?" After hearing this, Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Five or six hundred tons should be It can be done.”
Upon hearing this number, Ying Weiping immediately said: "Such a low production capacity is not enough for military use."
Xiao Yu did not answer his words, but Zhao Heyang next to him laughed and said: "If we can do it before the Omei people, it will be a great blessing for the country. Besides, for such expensive materials, one ton costs 800 million to 1 billion. Just 5 00 tons is 500 billion. This year’s total military budget is 1.45 trillion, which accounts for 30% of the total military expenditure. If the output is 500 tons, the military may not be able to afford it.”
What is certain is that the military will not spend as much as 500 billion to purchase 500 tons of room temperature superconducting materials. This amount is too large. The purchase of graphene materials is more than 10 billion, 20 to 30 billion, However, the amount of room-temperature superconducting materials is not large, and the budget is multiple zeroes. The military cannot afford it, otherwise it will have to cut other budgets on a large scale.
Zhao Heyang turned to Xiao Yu and said: "But Comrade Xiao Yu, even if the military cannot purchase 500 tons, it will not be allowed to flow to the civilian market in the short term."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Of course, we can produce as much as the military needs. This breakthrough in room temperature superconducting materials, I want to use this technological breakthrough to develop two types of military materials based on room temperature superconducting materials. Project application for aircraft.”
Zhao Heyang couldn't help but asked curiously: 'Oh? ’
Xiao Yu said methodically: "Military fighter jets and military transport aircraft that are fully electric-driven and have fast vertical take-off and landing capabilities."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Heyang and Ying Weiping looked at each other in surprise. Zhao Heyang looked at Xiao Yu and couldn't help but smile: "If I have an idea, I will write a document and submit it. Although the path of AVIC Linfei Company is a bit wild, but Maybe it can create another miracle like room-temperature superconducting materials. I think the possibility of superiors agreeing is very high.”
Xiao Yu smiled and nodded: "Then I'll wait for the news."
The project application will definitely be approved. Xiao Yu is very confident about this. His importance to the country has now reached a new level due to the birth of room temperature superconducting materials. Secondly, AVIC Linfei does not require state subsidies to develop aircraft. , all funds and research and development are handled by Xiao Yu himself.

The country only needs to issue an approval for something that won't make you famous, and the country has no burden. But if it does become famous, it will be a big surprise. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason not to approve it.
At the end, Zhao Heyang looked at Xiao Yu and said solemnly: "Comrade Xiao Yu, you are a national treasure-level and strategic-level national talent. You must take your safety issues seriously. Especially if you need to go abroad in the future, you may need to report in advance. Only with special approval from relevant parties.”
Zhao Heyang added: "This is not a restriction on your personal freedom, but a protection of your personal safety. As for going abroad, it is recommended to go as little as possible if it is not necessary. Do not go to some relevant so-called academic invitations in the world. It is not excluded. The Europeans have detained you.”
Ying Weiping also said: "The Nobel Prize created by Ou Mei people, if it is really awarded to you, and someone goes to collect it on your behalf on the grounds that the business is too busy and you can't get away, you will send it online via video link." Just give an acceptance speech, but don’t go there to receive the award in person, it’s very risky.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and said: "With Westerners' peeing habits, there is a high probability that this award will not be given. I guess it is either because there are no relevant papers published, or it is awarded to some older scholars with academic achievements first. The reason is that we are worried that these old scientists will not survive for a few years, so we should give them the awards first, while you, who are so young, wait in line.”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Heyang and others couldn't help laughing.
