Chapter 120 I just like this kind of unpretentious reward
In the following time, Ning Chen continued to conduct other measurements on the superconducting properties of this material.
Unsurprisingly, this material is not only completely conductive at low temperatures, but also completely diamagnetic and has the properties of flux quantization.
At the moment when all measurements related to superconducting properties were completed, Ning Chen only saw the system prompting the news that Ning Chen’s mission was completed.
[Detected that the host has completed the task: developed a new type of superconducting material]
[Get task rewards: Energy*500, subject experience*500 (can only be used for subjects of Lv2 and above)]
[The task system has been updated...]
[Task: Perfect one A new material superconducting system]
[Task introduction: You have completed the research on a new type of superconducting material. Continue to make further progress on this basis. Perfecting a new superconducting material system requires finding a variety of materials with superconducting properties in this system and explaining them with detailed theories]
[Task reward: energy*1000, subject experience*1000 (Can only be used for subjects Lv2 and above)]
After browsing the messages on the system task panel, Ning Chen felt filled with a sense of accomplishment.
The successful completion of the task shows that Ning Chen’s previous analysis is completely correct.
Only when all research on the properties of superconductors is completed, will the system determine that Ning Chen has successfully discovered a new superconductor.
Looking at the 500 extra energy points and 500 subject experience points on the system backpack interface, Ning Chen felt confident in his heart.
This is the first time that Ning Chen has received so many energy points and experience point rewards at once after owning the system.
For Ning Chen, energy and subject experience are priceless assets that cannot be bought with more money.
In addition, the refreshed tasks also made Ning Chen feel very suitable.
The new mission is just in line with the previous mission. Ning Chen can continue to research on the basis of this result.
“The new mission rewards are still energy points and subject experience. However, the reward amount this time has been doubled.”
In fact, Ning Chen likes this kind of unpretentious reward very much. , with Ning Chen's current ability, he can already explore various problems on his own without relying on the system to provide knowledge.
At this time, Ning Chen didn't really like to directly obtain the various information prizes provided by the system.
After all, Ning Chen enjoys the feeling of gaining through exploration through his own abilities.
Going back to the system backpack interface, Ning Chen thought about the use of these energy points and subject experience points.
“Don’t rush to add subject experience now. Just add it when you are about to upgrade.”
Before the subject is upgraded, the increase in subject experience will have a beneficial effect on the subject. It is relatively gentle and far less obvious than the gain effect when the subject level is improved.
Moreover, Ning Chen has not yet decided whether to focus more on mathematics or materials science in the future, so it is better not to rush to gain experience in the subject.
But...
In terms of energy points, Ning Chen still feels that the earlier it is used, the better.
Ning Chen naturally does not want to use these energy points to engage in speculative behaviors such as system lottery. After all, the uncertainty of the lottery is too great, and he will lose everything if he is not careful.
The correct way to use energy points is, of course, to add them all to the brain power index.
Thinking of this, Ning Chen muttered silently in his mind:
"System, consumption of energy points indicates the brain power index!"
In this way, Ning Chen added points to the brain power index many times in a row until it displayed The balance of energy points was not enough to continue to improve the brain power index, so Ning Chen stopped adding points.
Looking at the record of improvement in the brain power index, Ning Chen found with some regret that even after using more than 500 points of energy, the improvement in the brain power index was less than 20 points.
"No, the exchange ratio is increasing too fast. If this continues, spending 100 points of energy in the future may not be able to increase the brain power index by 1 point."
If that time comes, Ning Chen may really have to consider using energy points to exchange for some more cost-effective items. However, the improvement of the mental index did have a very obvious effect.
Ning Chen felt that his brain had become very comfortable, as if there were multiple warm currents flowing continuously in his mind.
Ning Chen is not unfamiliar with this feeling. Ning Chen knows that the various abilities of his brain have improved slightly compared to before.
This will be of great help to Ning Chen’s learning speed, thinking speed, research ability, etc. in the future.
After finishing the measurement of this superconductor, Ning Chen returned to the laboratory and told Xu Zhou the good news.
Xu Zhou was also very excited when he heard that this material was really a superconductor.
"Ning Chen, you actually found a new superconductor? Incredible... It's really incredible!"
It's not that Xu Zhou doesn't believe in Ning Chen's ability. It's just that Ning Chen can bring some new surprises to Xuzhou every time.
No matter how many times he failed, Ning Chen could stand up again and again and finally reach the other side of success.
"Mr. Xu, if you hadn't given me some advice that day, I might not have thought of this method. As expected, in the end, it is this method of adding a small amount of elements to the matrix phase that can form the final superconductor!"
Xu Zhou was also very happy that he could help Ning Chen, which showed that his instructor was not useless.
“Hey, the most important thing is that you determined the superconductor model from the beginning. Speaking of which, if you hadn’t had such a good mathematical foundation, predicting superconductors would not have been that easy.”
< br>According to Xu Zhou's understanding, many experimental groups studying superconductors in the industry are not like Ning Chen, who can accurately determine the material composition and structure of superconductors through calculations in advance from the beginning.
They are mostly trying continuously within a certain range, and even like a lottery, they are constantly conducting measurement experiments on the superconducting properties of various materials.
Anyway, there are so many types of substances. If you measure each substance, you can get some superconductors.
It’s just that this method will consume a lot of measurement time, and the efficiency of producing results will also be greatly reduced.
In the evening, Ning Chen invited Xu Zhou to have dinner together in the cafeteria according to the previous agreement.
"Ning Chen, after completing this result, you should be ready to start writing a thesis."
Xu Zhou knew the significance of this result, and it was not just a simple discovery. A new superconductor is so simple, but it is very likely that a new superconducting material system has been discovered.
Compared with the former, the latter will have greater research significance and will also be very helpful in explaining the mechanism of the entire superconducting phenomenon.
Such results are definitely at the "Nature" level.
"Well...Mr. Xu, my idea is to sort out the results of these days first, and don't rush to write a paper and submit it immediately. I feel that I still have a lot of things to do in this field. It can be done. It won’t be too late to write a thesis after I continue to explore related fields.” Zhou himself, maybe he wants to write his paper right now and submit it to Nature.
“If you have the idea of continuing to explore, it is definitely best to complete the experiment first. Hey, you already have so many papers, and you are really not in a hurry to get more results right away. .”
Strictly speaking, Ning Chen is not yet a graduate student. He just came to the laboratory in advance after graduating from undergraduate degree.
Ning Chen does not have any pressure to graduate or be evaluated for professional titles, and is free to conduct scientific research at his own pace.
While eating, Xu Zhou asked Ning Chen about his specific research plan.
"Ning Chen, do you have any ideas about future research?"
"Teacher Xu, I want to first conduct a more thorough study of this KFe2Se2 superconducting phase. Research and try to see if there are any other synthesis methods."
"Well, although previous attempts to synthesize this material using sintering methods failed, it does not mean that this material can only exist in the form of elements added to the superconducting matrix phase."
"The other thing is to Study the superconducting mechanism in more detail, and use these mechanisms to find more superconductors. I think there should be more than one superconductor in this system, as long as it can fill the vacancy of Fe, even with other elements. Than, it is still possible to create a new superconducting phase.”
“Yes, I also think there must be more than one superconducting phase. I even have some doubts that the K element may not be necessary here. Replacing it with other alkali metals or other substances may also form new superconducting phases.”
