Chapter 264 Superconductivity is a good thing! Perfect for America!
Li Qiwei was determined to dig a big hole for American physicists.
Block the development of its local physics.
Then by the time the war comes, his Borneo City of Science should have been built very well.
When the time comes, he will rely on his connections to capture all European scientists.
As for the conditions to attract him, Li Qiwei has already thought about it.
He is very confident that the United States will never be able to compete with the City of Science.
With a two-pronged approach, the United States will be ruined in this life.
When the second industrial revolution is over and the United States can no longer reap the dividends, it will have no choice but to follow others and eat soup.
The fate of the two great powers in the previous life will be reversed this time.
As for Europe, Li Qiwei has also prepared several set meals for lame legs, which are guaranteed to break bones after eating them.
But it’s not available yet.
At least until quantum mechanics is fully formed.
In real history, the United States, Britain, France, and Germany each had leading scientists who led a large number of people to study atomic bombs at the same time.
In the end, the United States won, otherwise history will definitely be rewritten.
However, in this life, all of them are destined to fail.
Even if I have to carry China on my back and support the city of science with one hand, I, Li Qiwei, am still invincible in the world.
After the dream was over, Li Qiwei returned to reality.
He did not immediately give the research direction, which seemed a bit too deliberate and inconsistent with his qualifications.
Acting requires a complete performance.
"Before giving suggestions, let me first talk about the latest developments in physics."
"We must see the essence through phenomena."
"Although many results have exploded this year ."
"But as I said at the first Bruce Conference, the core of modern physics is the study of atoms."
"All phenomena revolve around atoms. ”
"Although Laue proved the essence of X-rays, he did not know the principle of the generation of X-rays."
"Although Rutherford proposed the essence of radioactivity, he did not know what the generation of radioactivity is. Principle."
"German physicists have studied spectroscopy the most, but they also don't know what the separation of spectra is."
"There are other phenomena."
“I think these are all related to the internal structure and composition of atoms.”
"But it is a pity that we have not yet developed a theory like Newtonian mechanics about the inside of atoms."
"Also, I do not approve of the United States studying the structure of atoms."
"This is not because I am arrogant, but the authority in atomic research is recognized as the Cavendish school."
"Physicists headed by Thomson, Rutherford, and myself are the current leaders in the atomic field. Authority."
"In my opinion, you can combine existing knowledge like Professor Michelson did."
"For example, combining the movement of electrons with the theory of relativity, etc."
Wow!
At this moment, everyone present finally felt Li Qiwei’s pride.
They had all heard before that Bruce Lee was famously confident.
Whenever he gives a speech, he will show his domineering side, as if he wants everyone to surrender.
The tragedy is that what he said was right every time, and everyone had to surrender.
Although it is the physical theory that surrenders, not him.
But the effect is the same.
Today they finally saw such a scene.
Whoever publicly says that he is an authority in something is usually praised by others.
Yet, that's what Bruce said.
That confidence is unmatched.
The people present did not dare to say no.
Everyone is crying: Bruce is the fucking authority.
Carl in the audience said: "Professor Bruce, can't you solve the mystery of the atom with your intelligence?"
Li Qiwei shrugged and waved his hands: "I'm just a smart mortal, how can I know everything."
Everyone in the audience laughed.
“However, once breakthroughs are made in atomic research, many new research directions will surely emerge.”
“At that time, you, the United States, may be able to participate.”
Li Qiwei looked at everyone with a smile. Now he is attacking the United States with a dimensionality reduction.
He alone can suppress the entire American physics community.
The preparation is over and the deception begins.
At this time, Li Qiwei changed his voice and continued: "But, there is a direction that has little to do with the internal structure of the atom."
"And it also has strong academic value. and application value.”
Wow!
Everyone's eyes instantly became hot.
Don’t look at the people here who are very famous, they are members of the American Physical Society.
In fact, it is just to play by yourself behind closed doors.
At least Europeans will not recognize you.
And the so-called members are just ordinary physics professors at the university.
Anyone who can publish a paper in "Nature" is already considered very good.
So, facing Li Qiwei, they could only look up.
And now, Bruce, an old friend of the American people who is kind-hearted, enthusiastic and peaceful, is finally about to bring good news to American physics.
Li Qiwei did not sell out, raised his voice and said directly: "That is superconductivity, which is very popular in Europe recently."
"As we all know, superconductivity was discovered by my doctoral student, so I I still have some say.”
“The analysis article I published in Nature actually represents my summary of superconductivity.”
“I don’t think I need to introduce too much about superconductivity. I think everyone knows it. .”
Boom!
It turns out to be superconducting!
The people present suddenly realized.
Superconductivity is indeed of great academic value and has unlimited application prospects.
Substances can exhibit such bizarre properties at extremely low temperatures.
This has given physicists a deeper understanding of the macroscopic properties of matter.
Since resistance changes, what about other properties?
As a result, there is now a superconducting craze in Europe.
Centered on superconductivity, various ultra-low temperature experiments are emerging in endlessly.
Among them, Onnes from the Netherlands has suddenly emerged and has made many achievements in this field.
However, in the dead of night, Onnes sat alone at his desk, reading Qian Wushi's thesis.
There would always be a cramp in his heart, as if his child had been taken away.
That sense of familiarity made Onnes feel a little dazed. He even wondered if he was too tired during this period.
Li Qiwei: Brother Ang, I’m sorry for making you feel heartbroken.
The American physicists present were instantly interested.
Because superconductivity is very new, there is currently no mature theory.
This means everyone has a chance.
Instead of just following others to drink soup.
Even Qian Wushi, the discoverer of superconductivity, may not necessarily be ahead of others.
He was just the first person to discover superconductivity.
This is a good direction for overtaking in corners.
At this moment, everyone finally felt Li Qiwei’s good intentions.
Especially Edison, his eyes were shining brightly, and he even put aside his hatred for Li Qiwei.
Edison was a giant in electrical applications, and he understood the value of superconductivity better than anyone here.
Today, the United States has DC transmission and AC transmission, and both methods coexist.
But no matter which way, the transmission loss is very large.
Because resistance exists objectively, no matter what material you change, there will be resistance. Edison did calculations and found that the current transmission loss is about 20%.
What is the concept? It is equivalent to producing 100 kilowatt hours of electricity and wasting 20 kilowatt hours.
Any capitalist will bleed when faced with this kind of waste.
But there was nothing they could do.
Because this is an objective law of physics and is not subject to human will.
Never again will Edison invent, he will not be able to invent a material without resistance.
However, physicists can do it, Li Qiwei can do it.
Edison suddenly felt humiliated again.
He gritted his teeth and endured it for the sake of money.
Anyway, Edison had already made up his mind. After stealing from Li Qiwei, he invested heavily in research on superconductivity when he returned.
Because since Bruce has proposed this direction, he will definitely not just have a concept, he will come up with some practical information.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he be living up to the welcome and respect so many people have given him?
Sure enough, Li Qiwei continued: "Regarding superconductivity, I think the most important thing is how to achieve room temperature superconductivity."
"This is the basis for its large-scale application."
“And from an academic point of view, this is also a challenge to theory.”
“We physicists cannot try materials one by one.”
"We take compounds as an example, because according to my team's research, the superconducting temperature of pure metals is very low and it is impossible to achieve normal temperature."
"Because pure metals cannot be modified and improved through chemical means, So it’s not very meaningful.”
“My team no longer studies pure metal superconductivity.”
“The mainstream in Europe is not studying it either. Everyone is paying attention. Put it on metal compound superconductors and oxide superconductors.”
“According to my macroscopic explanation of superconductivity, it is because the interaction force between atoms or molecules suppresses the thermal motion of atoms or molecules. .”
"Then the goal is very clear."
"If a substance wants to meet this characteristic, I think there are two directions to consider."
"One is that the more uniform the mass distribution of the molecules, the better Well, at least it must be symmetrical."
"So that the macroscopic properties can show uniformity."
"The second is that the massive atoms must be in the center."
"Only in this way can the interaction force between atoms be applied evenly, and large atoms can firmly bind small atoms."
As Li Qiwei said, he drew a picture of an iron-based superconducting compound on the blackboard behind him. .
The iron atom is in the center of the molecular structure, while the remaining low-mass atoms are evenly dispersed around.
The people present watched in ecstasy.
Bruce is no longer just giving practical information, but is teaching you step by step.
It can be said that the content on the blackboard is a priceless treasure in the world of physics.
However, Li Qiwei shared it without reservation.
At this moment, everyone was extremely moved.
Michelson also didn’t expect Bruce to do this. He was simply benevolent and righteous.
After drawing the picture, Li Qiwei turned around and said with a smile: "Of course, the above are all based on my theory."
"As for whether it is correct or not, it still needs experimental verification."
"But at least I have provided a feasible direction. You no longer have to be like a headless fly to test various substances."
< br>“And the current superconducting heat in Europe has a very intuitive goal, which is the superconducting temperature.”
“The higher the superconducting temperature discovered by any team, the greater the achievement of that team. "
"I think with the financial and material resources of the United States, superconductivity is very suitable for you."
"Furthermore, the United States has a vast territory and rich resources. If you want to cover the entire country, the loss will be almost astronomical."
"So, superconductivity is crucial to your country."
" This is my sincere suggestion."
"Of course, you may ask, since superconductivity is so good, why don't you study it for your own country?"
"Hey, Because with the current situation in our country, it is still very unrealistic to organize research on superconductivity on a large scale.”
"But for the sake of science, I can't hide my secrets!"
"That would be an insult to my character!"
"So I can only share it and use the huge power of your country to strength to achieve.”
“I hope that the United States and China can share superconducting technology.”
Boom!
Li Qiwei's righteous and impassioned words made everyone present tremble with excitement.
Immediately afterwards, thunderous applause erupted in the conference room.
Everyone was impressed by Li Qiwei's mind.
Too selfless!
So scientific!
What kind of noble quality is this to make such a move.
At this moment, Li Qiwei was no different from a saint in the eyes of everyone.
He has transcended the concept of country, but seeks happiness for all mankind.
Li Qiwei smiled and looked extremely honest.
In the eyes of everyone, it becomes even more clear that he is simple and kind, without any selfishness, and all he thinks about is academics.
Li Qiwei looked at everyone's expressions and said happily in his heart: Sorry, I have two personalities, one of which can be insulted at will.
For the future of the country, Brother Li must be willing to be insulted.
It seems that my deception plan was very successful.
Michelson was almost in tears.
Others were as if they had been given chicken blood. They wanted to go back to the laboratory immediately and start developing high-temperature superconducting materials to lead Europe.
In real history, since the discovery of superconductivity, physicists have never stopped pursuing high-temperature superconductivity.
Even in the end, it turned into a science competition between countries.
Today the UK found 100K of material, and tomorrow France found 150K of material.
The day after tomorrow, 170K of materials were found in the United States.
Of course the most powerful one is Bangzi Country. No matter how old you are, I am taller than you.
Because Bangzi Country is the best at counterfeiting, it has been cracked down on for counterfeiting several times.
Anyway, they are thick-skinned and don’t care. At least they are famous.
A black name is also a name.
A superconductor is just like the ancient imperial examination.
Trapped a large number of smart people in a circle.
They have no other thoughts.
And Li Qiwei is not worried at all that the United States will really make a huge breakthrough.
Because it was not until more than 100 years later, in Li Qiwei's previous life, that room temperature superconductivity was still not realized.
Either it requires ultra-high voltage, which greatly limits its value.
So, Li Qiwei is now deceiving the United States to vigorously research superconductivity, which will at least make it make no progress and waste resources for decades.
Not only that, American physicists will also thank Li Qiwei.
Because they did transcend Europe.
The superconducting theory shared by Li Qiwei is real. According to that theory, high-temperature superconducting materials will definitely be produced.
It’s just that this high temperature is still far from normal temperature.
Li Qiwei suddenly admired himself, this is the ability of a top physicist.
It's like fooling a country for fun.
It is really scary for scientists to go dark.
Especially as a scientist who has mastered the future, there is simply no solution.
Li Qiwei can easily control everyone.
And these, the brightest brains of mankind, cannot yet discover it.
Li Qiwei is full of pride. In this life, the United States has nothing to worry about. Let it just be its own cash machine.
