Chapter 134 Qcenter
"If Korea were not allowed to monopolize the material LK99, the direct economic benefits alone would be at least trillions of dollars, not to mention other benefits and the indirect economic benefits brought about by leading technology, Quan Yingquan He and Kim Hyun-joo are the sinners of Goryeo and the highest-level war criminals in history!”
This is the comment with the highest number of likes under the news that China has confirmed that it has created a room-temperature superconductor.
Regarding the paper related to LK99, Kwon Young-wan first published it on Arxiv, a public platform for papers, and then Kim Hyun-joo published a paper with more detailed data two and a half hours after he discovered that he published the paper. .
“When Goryeo’s economy has been in such a slump in recent years, there are still scientists who continue to disclose epoch-making research results for their own selfish interests. This kind of behavior that ignores national interests for personal interests is exactly the reason why Goryeo’s industry in the world is The main reason for falling behind in the competition
The Koreans no longer support their own industries and buy Chinese products for a little profit. They even fly to China to bring Chinese rice back to Korea for sale. After achieving technological breakthroughs, it is impossible for the Chinese to tell you how they prepared the LK99 process. optimized on.
The development of Goryeo and Hua in recent years is a direct reflection of internal factors and external factors. ”
“Those involved in the LK99 leak should be prosecuted! ”
There are the most similar comments on the Korean forum. Everyone cannot accept that the Chinese have made room-temperature superconductors along the technical route of Korean scientists.
Because it is obvious that LK99 is not a room-temperature superconductor. This is already a recognized fact in the academic community. It shows some special properties, but it is not the same thing as normal temperature superconductivity.
The stickmen subconsciously believed that the room-temperature superconductor synthesized by Chen Yuanguang was not LK99, but used the preparation principle of LK99.
“This is a victory for all mankind and a moment worth celebrating.” Of course there are rationalists.
Some also applauded: “It’s a good thing they leaked it, so that we can use everyone’s strength to solve this problem, instead of a few arrogant people with insufficient funds.
Kwon Young-wan He is a hero of the earth. If he had not made it public, Guangshen would not have invented the room-temperature superconductor. "This is so rational that some Korean netizens scolded Chinese people to get out."
More people among the rationalists still say: "If Professor Cui has a soul in heaven, he should rest in peace."
More rational Koreans are remembering the old professor Cui Dongzhi who believed in the one-dimensional superconductivity theory and never gave up for decades.
On the Internet, Korean people with various views are arguing. In reality, major Korean financial groups have begun to take action.
"Professor Kwon, we hope to buy the LK99 related patents from you." The fastest person to come was Park Yong-in, the president of Samsung Electronics.
When Quan Yingwan saw the business card, he knew the identity of the other party. He was a big shot that he could never offend. "I have no problem, what about the price?"
There was no entanglement about Quan Yingwan. The price is not surprising to Park Yong-in, because the history of LK99 is complicated. In theory, the patent rights belong to Kwon Young-wan, but if there is a lawsuit, it will be difficult.
"Five million dollars." Park Yong-in stretched out five fingers and said without any hesitation.
Kwon Young-wan looked like you are kidding me: "Mr. Park, if the great northern country has not produced results, then I have no objection to the price, but on the premise that the great northern country has already produced a normal-temperature superconductor. , this price is too shabby.”
Park Yong-in refused to back down: “It is only worth this price. If you have the technology of the northern power, let alone 5 million, 50 billion US dollars, Samsung can do it. Take it out.”
Kwon Young-wan pursed his lips. As a participant of LK99, he subsequently conducted further verification of LK99 with the cooperation of Seoul National University, Korea University, and Sungkyunkwan University, so he naturally knew about LK99. It's not room temperature superconducting.
But he still wanted to struggle, "But if the northern powers can do it, it means that LK99 has the potential to become a room-temperature superconductor, right?"
Park Yongren waved his hand: "Still, if you can make it, you can set the price as you like, and we will give you a check to write as you like.
But not now, we only need the patent of LK99, and this patent is also It’s not us who want it, it’s the higher-ups.” Park Yong-ren shouted out the last thing. If the higher-ups didn’t want it, he wouldn’t need to negotiate this small business in person.
Kwon Young-wan asked: "Blue House?"
He couldn't believe what the Blue House had to do with this.
Park Yong-in said softly: "Yongsan base."
Kwon Young has stopped struggling, Cheong Wa Dae can still struggle, but if Yongsan doesn't give it to himself, he may not see the sun the next day.
“Okay.”
He guessed in his heart that Amerikan wanted the LK99 patent in order to use the patent to develop the country’s normal temperature superconductor.
As for whether China’s normal temperature superconductor preparation uses the LK99 patent, it doesn’t matter. At least the lawsuit will last for several years.
Park Yongren smiled when he saw him signing: "There is also good news. Qcenter will receive an annual sponsorship of 20 million US dollars. In the future, Qcenter's research direction needs to be all on room temperature superconductors.
Other research directions need to stop. Researchers who are not in the field of room-temperature superconductivity will either transfer jobs or go to other research institutes.
If they make results, there will be corresponding rewards. If they really make room-temperature superconductors, The price is whatever you want.”
With an annual sponsorship of 20 million US dollars, Qcenter can be regarded as the top research institute in Korea, and top here means top treatment.
Kwon Young-wan, who was a little depressed just now, felt much happier, but then he immediately became unhappy because he heard Park Yong-in’s next words:
"Of course, considering the level of contribution in LK99 materials, Qcenter is led by Mr. Lee Seok-bae and Kim Ji-hoon, with your assistance."
The initial starting point of LK-99 was Professor Choi Dong-sik, who recruited Kim Ji-hoon and Lee Seok-bae. Two students. Under the leadership of Professor Cui, the two of them made lead apatite in 1999. The experimental data showed special phenomena that seemed to be caused by superconductivity.
After Professor Cui passed away, they registered a "leather bag" company called Qcenter. This company does some consulting business and conducts experiments to try to study LK99.
After they finally made a material with special properties, Lee Seok-bae and Kim Ji-hoon took a letter from their last names and named the new material LK-99 to commemorate the discovery of trace superconductivity in 1999. .
Kwon Young-wan is the sponsor of Qcenter, so the patent licensing contract must be signed with him.
The world is like this. The equity belongs to you. You invested money when Qcenter was short of funds. When you encounter strong power, others can decide its control with just one sentence, without signing a contract.
Park Yong-in left as quickly as he came. He was in a hurry to report to the Yongsan base.
And Quan Yingwan returned to the small building where Qcenter is located with this news. He has not been back for a long time since he first published the LK99-related papers.
The people inside also stopped working here because of the popularity of LK99. He returned to the small building and took out his mobile phone and called the researchers at Qcenter who participated in the LK99 project one by one.
The discovery of room temperature superconductivity will also change their fate.
