Chapter 236 Another breakthrough!
According to the model constructed by Ning Chen, the ideal superconducting critical temperature of this copper oxide material can reach about 150K.
If the experiment goes well, Ning Chen may set a new critical temperature record for superconducting materials at normal pressure this time.
After completing the synthesis of this substance, Ning Chen first conducted scanning electron microscopy and other measurements on this substance as before.
After measurement, this substance is indeed exactly the same as the substance Ning Chen designed before.
Regarding such experimental results, the former commander had to sigh with emotion, Ning Chen was really amazing.
Be able to design the structure of a substance before conducting experiments, then infer the synthesis method of the substance, and finally successfully synthesize the substance.
This kind of experimental idea is very advanced when looking at the whole world.
After completing the measurement of material results, we finally reached the most exciting stage.
Measurement of superconducting critical temperature.
Because the significance of this experiment may be very huge, Ning Chen did not hand over the experiment to Yuan Shuai again, but led the experiment himself, and Yuan Shuai participated in the experiment as Ning Chen's assistant.
Ning Chen needs to measure various experimental data very accurately in this experiment and try to minimize the error.
After making preparations for the experiment, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai started the experiment together.
In fact, Marshal Yuan is relatively confident in his current abilities. Even if Ning Chen leaves all the experimental work to himself, Marshal Yuan can still complete various experimental tasks well.
But after the former commander saw Ning Chen’s experimental operations, he quickly realized the gap between himself and Ning Chen.
Ning Chen's experimental operations were very clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements, which gave Ning Chen a very high experimental operation efficiency.
At the same time, Ning Chen’s operations are also full of various details.
There are many details that Yuan Shuai can see. Some of them were noticed by Yuan Shuai when he was doing experiments, and some were noticed by Yuan Shuai for the first time.
As for some of Ning Chen’s experimental actions, the original commander still doesn’t know the meaning, but these must be done intentionally by Ning Chen, just because this experiment is very important, Ning Chen does not have time to follow The original commander explained too much.
Shuai Yuan thought that after the experiment was over, he would have to ask Ning Chen for the details of these experiments.
Under the joint operation of Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai, the measured temperature quickly approached 150K.
"Commander, we can slow down the temperature drop."
Since the temperature is close to the superconducting transition temperature zone, Ning Chen issued such an order.
After the experience of this experiment, Yuan Shuai and Ning Chen already have a high degree of experimental tacit understanding. They can understand each other's meanings without too much communication.
Just when the temperature dropped to about 152K, the curve on the screen suddenly changed dramatically.
"The resistance of the material has begun to decrease significantly... It has entered the superconducting transition temperature range! Commander, start recording the key data of the experiment!"
"Okay."
The resistance of this material The superconducting transition temperature range is very small, and soon the resistance value of this material drops below the maximum required value for superconductor resistance.
“151.78K! This is the critical temperature value of superconducting!”
Although it is only the first measurement, Ning Chen still has great confidence in the accuracy of this measurement result. , your measurement error will not exceed 0.01K.
Ning Chen's experimental measurement accuracy is definitely top-notch in the world.
Next, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai continued to repeat the experimental measurements twice, and the superconducting critical temperature measured each time was 151.78K without any change.
This was enough to prove the high measurement accuracy of the entire experiment. After three measurements, Ning Chen knew that there was no need to repeat the experiment.
According to Ning Chen’s understanding, the superconducting critical temperature of 151.78K has set a new normal pressure superconducting critical temperature record.
However, at this time, the system still did not prompt Ning Chen to complete the system task.
Ning Chen knew that this might be because this was not really the superconductor with the highest superconducting critical temperature, but it was more likely because he had not completed all the experimental measurements.
Because according to the system's evaluation conditions for this task, only when Ning Chen completes all measurements of the properties of superconductors will it be deemed that Ning Chen has really discovered a superconductor.
With this idea in mind, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai continued to measure the unique properties of other superconductors.
When Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai completed the last measurement work, Ning Chen received a message indicating that the system task was completed.
[Detected that the host has completed the task: discovered a superconductor with a higher superconducting critical temperature]
[Obtain mission reward: 10,000 points of energy exchange coupons]
[The mission system has been updated...]
[Task: The brain power index reaches 200 points]
[Task introduction: The brain power index determines a person's brain's understanding ability, calculation speed, and memory. Now your brain power index has far exceeded the average level of human beings, but it is still far from reaching the limit level of human brain power. Let’s continue to hit a more powerful mental index level]
[Task reward: 10 intermediate lottery draws (5% probability of getting D-level or C-level prizes)]
[Note: In addition to using energy points to improve the brain power index, participating in learning and research work every day can also slowly improve the brain power index] "Sure enough, only after completing all the tests on the properties of superconductors will the system The mission is considered completed!”
At this time, Ning Chen was a little lucky that he had not failed to complete the mission before because the superconducting critical temperature of this material was not high enough.
Otherwise, Ning Chen would not know how high a superconductor with a critical superconducting temperature could be synthesized before the system would recognize it as completing its mission.
Looking at the 10,000 energy redemption coupons displayed on the system backpack interface, Ning Chen couldn't help but feel excited.
This was the first time that Ning Chen saw such a large amount of energy. Ning Chen quickly said in his mind:
"System, exchange all the energy exchange coupons into energy!"
< br>[The 10,000 energy coupons in the system backpack have been exchanged for energy]
Ning Chen glanced at the energy interface on the system interface and was shocked to find that his remaining energy points had reached 10,042 points.
However, behind these energy points, there is a special note in parentheses that "10,000 of the energy points cannot be used to increase the brain power index."
When Ning Chen saw the next system task, he was immediately disappointed with the specially marked restrictions.
“Damn it... If there weren’t this restriction, I’d probably be able to complete the next task right now.”
But Ning Chen also knew that the system would never arrange it for him. A very easy task to complete.
Otherwise, the system tasks will not be any challenging.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Chen checked his personal data panel.
[Host Name: Ning Chen]
[Brain Power Index: 188]
[Mathematics: Lv3 (13864/100000)]
[Physics: Lv2 (2468/10000) 】
[Chemistry: Lv2 (2342/10000)]
[Creature: Lv1 (864/1000)]
[Information: Lv1 (846/1000)]
[Material: Lv3 (16842/100000)]
"Now My brain power index has reached 188 points. If I increase my brain power index by another 12 points, I can complete the task.”
This 12-point brain power index does not seem to be much, but in actual terms, it is not much. So easy.
At Ning Chen's current energy accumulation rate, the energy points accumulated in ten and a half months may not be able to increase his mental index a little.
As for what the system said about improving the mental index through natural learning and research work, Ning Chen has indeed had this experience.
It’s just that this improvement method is indeed very slow, and it is not often reflected in the system personal data panel.
Sometimes, Ning Chen's brain power index will suddenly increase a little, and this is the brain power index that is increased by natural accumulation.
In other words, only when the naturally accumulated brain power index reaches a point will it be displayed in the system interface.
"Forget it, let's not consider these issues for now. Anyway, I definitely need to constantly improve my mental index."
This task will not have any impact on Ning Chen's future plans. Influence can be said to be a task that can be rewarded for free.
Of course, Ning Chen didn’t have high hopes for the rewards from this task. After all, the lottery was very metaphysical. If he could get some subject experience and energy points, Ning Chen would be satisfied.
Ning Chen is somewhat looking forward to whether there will be any additional qualitative changes when his mental index reaches 200 points.
……
After completing the experimental results, Ning Chen and Yuan Shuai started writing the paper together.
As before, Ning Chen’s paper still plans to be submitted to the main journal of "Nature". After all, this is a very gimmicky research content, which directly gives the superconducting critical temperature of matter under normal pressure. Refreshed.
However, in the process of writing the paper, Ning Chen began to think about some new things.
“It’s time to put the issue of running academic journals on the agenda.”
Although now it seems that submitting papers to top international academic journals such as "Nature" and "Science" , which can be of greater benefit to your own academic achievement accumulation, but in the long run, this will still be relatively limited in improving the domestic academic environment.
Moreover, when submitting papers to foreign academic journals, the right to speak is still in their hands. Whether the paper can be successfully published and when it can be published are completely controlled by others.
Ning Chen thought that after freeing up time, it would be time to prepare to establish a new academic journal, a world-class academic journal that truly belongs to China and presents research results in Chinese.
It is not that there are no academic journals in China today, but the influence of these academic journals is relatively limited, and they are basically all submitted by domestic researchers.
