Chapter 136 Oppenheimer in the New Century
"Professor Bavandi, do you have any ideas about your student Wright Chen's synthesis route for room temperature superconductivity?" It was still dim outside the office window. There is a laptop on the table.
Professor Mongi Bawendi and the man in black sitting opposite him both have microphones in their ears. The microphones are simultaneously translating the Chinese seven o'clock news program on the laptop screen into English.
“Chinese scientist Mr. Chen Yuanguang applied the ExclusionZone water structure to the field of normal temperature superconductivity for the first time. With the help of magnetic field control, the copper oxide compound showed 100% diamagnetic properties at normal temperature and pressure.”
The waiting time was a bit long. After half an hour of regular program, room temperature superconducting was introduced.
Bawendi and the man in black were both suffering from the wait.
Bawendi was not in good spirits. There was a 12-hour difference between Yanjing time and Boston time. He was woken up at six o'clock in the morning and brought to the office.
He was first questioned, and the questioning mainly focused on whether Chen Yuanguang disclosed his research on room temperature superconductivity to Chen Yuanguang during his doctoral education at MIT, and whether Ba Wendi had any superconducting related research on his hands. patent.
America knows that China dares to do this, which means that room temperature superconductivity is 99% true.
Now that you have solved it technically, American’s idea is of course not limited to patent restrictions. Patent restrictions are conventional means, at least they cannot allow China’s room-temperature superconducting technology to flow unimpeded around the world. .
Including Koryo’s LK99-related patents, Amerikan plans to build a patent wall and initiate litigation against light armor companies, at least not allowing your products to go overseas easily.
When Bavandi answered the question, he realized that Washington was already in a panic. As long as you take a moment to browse his Google Scholar homepage, you will know that he is not working on superconducting.
He makes perovskites. If you insist on talking about perovskite technology, you may be able to get involved, but room temperature superconductivity? Let alone room-temperature superconductivity, he has not even done research related to ordinary superconductivity.
“Sorry, I don’t know much about superconductivity, let alone room temperature superconductivity. I mainly work in the field of chemistry. Superconductivity technically belongs to condensed matter physics.
You should go to Professor Russell Hemley or Anthony Leggett, not me.
Just because my students have made great achievements in room temperature superconductivity does not mean that I understand this field. "
Bawendi's words were very straightforward, but he couldn't stand the situation. The man in black forced him to read the Chinese news, and then asked him to talk about his feelings.
"TV program The synthesis route revealed in is worthless, just like he told you that we can make a Spanish soup by doing this, but we don’t know the specific steps.
We don’t even know the ingredients, so it’s impossible to recreate this dish in a short time.
And what the Chinese say in the news may not be true. Maybe in the entire fifteen-minute introduction, only the synthesis of room temperature superconductivity is true, and the rest are all made up to mislead other competitors. .
Isn’t that what we did in the Star Wars program? Don’t you think that Congress, the source of Sun Tzu’s Art of War, doesn’t know about these tricks? "Bawendi is very rude.
Bawendi thinks this is an unreasonable disaster. The man in black even wants to change his job and let him go to the Oak Ridge Laboratory. To be honest, he doesn't want to go there at all. , that hellish place is not as good as MIT in his heart.
In fact, Chen Yuanguang is a student of Ba Wendi, but their personal relationship is very ordinary, more like a colleague relationship, but Professor Leggett, a Nobel Prize winner. He is more familiar with Chen Yuanguang, and they have published more articles together than him and Chen Yuanguang.
Bawendi thinks you should go to Leggett for your investigation, not him.
“Professor, if you were asked to lead the room temperature superconducting project, how long would it take you to build it? "The man in black asked.
Bawendi frowned, "I said, I don't understand superconductivity, I'm not familiar with condensed matter physics, and I'm not even as good as a doctor in this area.
The alliance should find more professional scholars, and You can't just pick someone and let him be Oppenheimer."
Bawendi alluded to the movie "Oppenheimer" that was released in North America not long ago. He heard that Amerikan planned to launch a similar atomic bomb again. A large-scale scientific research plan has been launched to achieve catch-up in the field of room temperature superconductivity.
And he didn't want to be Oppenheimer. In this era, it was not a good thing to have such a famous student, especially if the student was on the side of a competitor.
"Professor Bawendi, just because you take the lead does not mean that you have to understand that project management is more important than scientific research professionalism." The man in black is not giving up yet.
One is because Bawendi’s own scientific research results are outstanding enough. If Chen Yuanguang hadn’t emerged, he would have won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2023. The other is because since Bawendi can bring out Wright Chen, he will serve as the project leader. Whether the president can bring out the second Wright Chen is what the White House is looking forward to.
“No, I don’t accept it.
Wright never expressed an interest in superconductivity during his time at MIT, nor did he show any hostility toward Amerikan.
But he was absolutely an out-and-out patriot, and he had an extremely keen sense of risk. He left Americen resolutely after 20 years, and he did not attend the day when MIT's doctorate was awarded.
Therefore, it is impossible to persuade him to defect to the free world. Not to mention that China has become stronger, even if it is 1970, I think it is also impossible.
Sir, I have given you all the information I can give you, you should go. "
"Professor Bawendi, I think we will meet again. "The man in black left such a sentence before leaving.
After sending the other person away, Bawendi sat on the sofa and looked at the laptop on the table in a daze.
He never I knew Chen Yuanguang was talented from the first day. I have always trained Chen Yuanguang according to the standards of top geniuses and given him absolute freedom. Chen Yuanguang also reciprocated the trust he gave him. During his Ph.D., he not only published papers, but also contributed to the epidemic of viruses. The ending played a key role.
Chen Yuanguang's performance was worthy of the name of genius. Bawendi slowly recalled his time with Chen Yuanguang in Boston.
He seemed to remember something, his face became a little ugly, and he murmured to himself: "I should go, I should go."
Ba Wendi remembered that when Chen Yuanguang was still studying for a PhD at MIT On a certain Western festival, he saw Chen Yuanguang alone here, so he invited Chen Yuanguang to his house to attend a family party. Chen Yuanguang declined and said: "Professor, in order not to cause you any trouble in the future, I think I'd better not I’m going to your private party.”
Remembering that Chen Yuanguang always kept to himself during his time at MIT. Even if someone wanted to make friends with him, he would refuse. Originally, Bawendi thought that it was due to his personality. Looking back now, Chen Yuanguang realized that probably from the first day he came here, he would make different achievements. These achievements would not only bring honor to him, but also bring benefits to his friends in Amerikan. Bring trouble. Therefore, Chen Yuanguang simply stopped making friends during his stay in Boston. The cooperation with Levitt was only academic, and there was also not much personal relationship.
After thinking about this, Bawendi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Wright, your achievements are so amazing, even if I am just your master and disciple, I will still be affected.
No, I have to go back to Paris. ”
Combining Chen Yuanguang’s age, current achievements, the relationship between Amerikan and China, and Washington’s emphasis on room temperature superconductivity, Bawendi is certain that if he is still at Amerikan, he will have countless achievements. The trouble is just like Oppenheimer in the movie
Especially because he is a Tunisian who was born in Paris, and is far inferior to the Jewish Oppenheimer who was born in America. < br>
Chen Yuanguang would not have thought that the butterfly effect he triggered would make Bawendi return to teach at the Polytechnic after several twists and turns.
“Hello viewers, this is a special interview program of CCTV’s “Everyone”. Edition, today we are invited to Mr. Chen Yuanguang, a famous scientist and entrepreneur. "The female host's face was full of beauty, and her makeup was a bit more refined than usual.
This column will first briefly introduce the achievements of the guests, and then start the interview. In the process of introducing the achievements, Chen Yuanguang's achievements are introduced for the first time, and it feels like watching a myth.
Chen Yuanguang was a little unnatural. After arriving at CCTV's studio in Shenhai this morning, the female host in her thirties started giving him various hints.
Including scratching the palm of his hand with her fingers when reviewing the script, and after adding WeChat, emojis were sent wildly, which made Chen Yuanguang surprised by the boldness of the other party.
In fact, this kind of thing is too normal. It’s just that Chen Yuanguang had too little contact with the outside world before and was in a relatively vacuum environment, so he didn’t have much exposure to similar things.
The publicity effect brought by normal temperature superconductivity is dramatic. Chen Yuanguang himself and the people around him have been analyzed by various self-media. As the market value of Guangjia Technology exceeded RMB 400 billion, the market value of 5% of Lin Jia's shares exceeded RMB 20 billion, which caused many bloggers on sexual relations to analyze it.
I didn't expect that they would be able to catch the heat.
After a meal of output, just the girlfriend can share 20 billion, let alone get married, it will directly hurt the percentage.
So in the minds of many pretentious women, Chen Yuanguang is more meat than Tang Monk. The female host of CCTV is a typical representative of this group of people.
Many of their predecessors have married rich men before, and there are too many cases to count.
So the female host who was specially sent to interview Chen Yuanguang naturally had unrealistic fantasies.
The other party was afraid that Chen Yuanguang wouldn't be able to receive the signal, so he was so straightforward.
"Hello, everyone, audience." Chen Yuanguang thought to himself that women can change their attitude quickly. How direct the other party was in private before, now he is so serious.
"Yuan Guang, because room temperature superconductivity was announced yesterday, it is certain that the focus of the country is still on room temperature superconductivity. Can you tell us how you discovered the synthesis route for room temperature superconductivity?" the female host asked.
Chen Yuanguang said: "As Korean scientists announced a special material named LK99, this material showed very special diamagnetic properties and there were some distortion points in the data, which caught my attention.
I combined some knowledge in biology and chemistry and thought of a way to solve the problem in the synthesis path of room temperature superconducting, so I started working on it. It took about two months to make it. This piece of normal temperature superconductor is named GJ01. ”
The female host didn't want to ask where the name GJ01 came from. She just wanted to replace J with her own name.
The female host asked: "So technically speaking, it is not directly related to LK99, is it? It is equivalent to your original technical route?"
Although I ask this here, it is to avoid Subsequent patent disputes.
The problems that Americans can think of can naturally be thought of by Chinese people.
Although television interviews have no effect, they can at least strengthen the original concept in the minds of the people of the country.
Chen Yuanguang hopes to seek truth from facts: "Today, technology has been very developed, and people have made too many achievements in science.
It is difficult to say that a certain technical route is completely original. This is unrealistic, even if it is LK99 still refers to the results of other scientists.
I can only say that it is impossible to synthesize GJ01 along the technical route of LK99.
The difference between them is like that of humans. It’s the same as the difference between monkeys.”
Chen Yuanguang could imagine how Chinese netizens would use it to ridicule the Koreans when they saw this. Some Chinese students studying in Korea probably went directly to Korea. The forum is in disgrace.
"So the normal temperature superconductor you developed is not the same thing as the LK99 developed by the Koreans." The female host concluded.
Chen Yuanguang said: "It's definitely not the same thing. What they developed is just a special compound, not a room temperature superconductor."
The female host then asked: "Yuan Guang, since room temperature After the news of superconductivity was announced, the Internet was full of joy. Everyone was celebrating, thinking that this meant the fourth industrial revolution. What do you think?”
Since last night, Chen Yuanguang has not stopped, Even before coming to the studio today, he was holding remote video conferences with experts from Yanjing, Chang'an, Hefei, Bingcheng and other places to discuss the application scope of room temperature superconductivity.
Many experts have given new ideas. For example, in the field of quantum computers, very small room temperature superconductors are enough.
Therefore, Chen Yuanguang also has new expectations for room temperature superconductivity.
“I think everyone is so excited because superconductivity is indeed critical. It is a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of basic materials and can play a leap-forward role in empowering many fields.”
Thousands of predictions for tomorrow!
