The total distance from Chancheng Yulongwan Palace to Shencheng Longxing Group's Bantian base is 170 kilometers. Because of being in a hurry, Chen Xing asked Ye Yingjie to drive the vehicle manually.
In the "Dr. X" logical database, it does not have a rush option.
Because being in a hurry means speeding, and according to authoritative media statistics, 90% of car accidents are related to speeding. Chen Xing does not want to see his Pilot 001 car racing around, or racing on its own.
Of course.
The most important thing is to take responsibility.
Unmanned autonomous driving is technically supported by Longxing Group. If the option of "unmanned racing" is provided, one needs to bear responsibility.
The national review department will not allow the emergence of unmanned drag racing.
Under various factors, Dr.
But today, Chen Xing couldn't wait any longer. He eagerly returned to Shenzhen to check out superconducting materials.
After Ye Yingjie obtained Chen Xing's authorization, he also used his mature driving skills. Although there was speeding, it did not reach the 20% illegal line, and even if he was stopped, he would not be deducted points or fined.
The journey that originally took two hours arrived fifteen minutes faster.
When the vehicle drove into Longxing Group's Bantian Base and stopped in the parking lot, Chen Xing immediately got out of the car and went straight to the office building.
"President."
"President."
Walking into the office building, the two reception girls immediately stood up to say hello.
Normally, Chen Xing would have nodded and responded politely, but now he only had room-temperature superconducting materials in his mind, and didn't hear their greetings at all, so he headed straight to the elevator in a hurry.
"The president seems to be in a hurry. Nothing will happen, right?"
“I don’t know, I feel quite anxious.”
"Could it be that my wife gave birth?"
"Your wife gave birth at the company?"
The two girls at the front desk sat down again, cracking melon seeds and gossiping.
In fact, not only them, Zhao Siqiu and Ye Yingjie had never seen such an eager and fiery Chen Xing.
In their impression, Chen Xing would not reveal his inner emotions to the outside world even if he encountered big things. He was a stable person in power.
But what about today?
He completely lost control of his emotions.
Or...
He has forgotten emotion management and expression management.
Chen Xing didn't care about other people's eyes and opinions, but went straight to the top floor office, because Gu Ren was already waiting.
"Ding——"
The elevator door opens.
Chen Xing quickened his pace, walked through the corridor, and finally arrived at the door of his office.
The office door was not closed. Standing at the door, you could see Gu Ren sitting on the sofa in the negotiation area, holding something tightly in his hand.
The moment he saw Chen Xing, he looked excited and immediately stood up and said: "We succeeded, we succeeded. This is epoch-making material."
"Let's talk after closing the door."
Chen Xing walked into the office and closed the door.
When he came to Gu Ren, he finally saw the room-temperature superconducting material he had longed for.
Out of curiosity, Chen Xing asked: "How did you discover it?"
"It's a bit complicated to say." Gu Ren paused for half a second, picked up the R&D record file placed on the table, handed it to Chen Xing and said: "For the dozens of previous synthesis of superconducting materials, I referred to some foreign papers and used the Doping superconducting materials, trial and error.”
"But the result..."
"It can only be said that it is unsatisfactory."
While Gu Ren was telling the story, Chen Xing also opened his records.
What comes into view is the complete and detailed material synthesis process of lanthanum decahydride (LaH10).
Saw 99.5% lump metal lanthanum into chips, and add an appropriate amount of 3.47g into a reaction bottle that has been dried, evacuated and filled with argon.
The reaction flask was heated to 300°C and then cooled to room temperature.
After removing the argon, add 15 ml of tetrahydrofuran through a dry syringe, and then add 0.015 ml of titanium tetrachloride.
Control the temperature in the oil bath to 45°C and maintain it. At the same time, turn on the magnetic stirrer for stirring. At the same time, hydrogen gas is introduced into the reaction bottle, and the amount of hydrogen absorbed by the reaction is read from the constant pressure gas tube.
After the metal lanthanum no longer absorbs hydrogen, the reaction is basically completed.
Under argon protection, transfer the reaction solution to a centrifuge bottle and perform centrifugation at 5000 r/min for 2 hours to separate the organic phase in the reaction bottle.
Then the supernatant liquid was poured off, the solid phase was washed a second time with tetrahydrofuran and titanium tetrachloride, and dried in a vacuum oil bath for 6 hours to obtain black lanthanum decahydride solid powder.
Just one superconducting material makes Chen Xing feel extremely cumbersome. According to the thickness of this record document, it records the synthesis processes of at least 20 different superconducting materials.
When Chen Xing looked at the file, Gu Ren pointed out the difficulties in overcoming it.
"I tried lanthanum decahydride, NbZr niobium alloy, yttrium barium copper oxide, and bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide. Although they are all superconducting materials under specific conditions, there is no more room for improvement."
"After reading several papers, I decided not to use subdivided materials for doping improvement, but to use larger types of copper oxide and iron-based superconductors."
Speaking of this, Gu Ren's eyes became brighter and brighter, and a hint of excitement could still be seen.
"After determining the general direction, I evenly mixed 40% lead monoxide and 60% lead sulfate powder and heated it in a ceramic crucible at 725 degrees Celsius for 24 hours to produce Lanarkite."
"Then mix copper and phosphorus at a ratio of three to one and heat it to 550 degrees Celsius in a negative cubic quartz vacuum tube with a vacuum of 10 for 48 hours to obtain cuprous phosphide."
"Lanachite and cuprous phosphide are mixed and sealed in a quartz vacuum tube. At a high temperature of 1000 degrees Celsius, Cu will replace Pb and the stress generated by it will be transferred to the columnar structure interface to form a quantum well structure, ultimately revealing superconducting properties."
"After my testing, the superconducting material mixed with Lanarkite and cuprous phosphide can exhibit superconducting properties at -30 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees Celsius, which is sufficient for daily use."
Chen Xing was not an expert in materials science, and he could only roughly understand a few terms when Gu Ren described the process.
but!
Although he didn't understand it, he knew the key points.
If it can exhibit superconducting properties at -30 degrees to 60 degrees, then the value of this superconducting material is terrifying. It is no exaggeration to say that it is far better than those aircraft carriers in the United States.
If Chen Xing proposed an exchange to the United States at this time, the latter would definitely agree immediately, because room temperature superconductivity is so important and is a world-recognized prerequisite for nuclear fusion.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing asked the question he was most concerned about: "Is it difficult to synthesize room-temperature superconducting materials? Can it be mass-produced?"
"Synthesis is very difficult and mass production is not a problem." Gu Ren responded without hesitation and explained: "Lead monoxide, lead sulfate, copper and phosphorus are not scarce materials. Materials science is the same as medicine. As long as the synthesis formula is conquered , it is easy to mass produce.”
Anyone who knows the pharmaceutical field knows that the reason why drugs are expensive is not because of the expensive raw materials to produce them, but because of the high research and development costs.
Take penicillin as an example. Before it was developed, bacterial infections killed dozens or millions of people every year.
During World War I, many soldiers, even if they were only hit by bullets in non-fatal parts such as shoulders and arms, would eventually die from infection with deadly bacteria.
It was not until the advent of penicillin in 1928 and mass production by American pharmaceutical companies that the threat of bacteria was finally alleviated. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you bring a ton of penicillin back to World War I, you can completely change the direction of history.
What was once such a precious drug can now be purchased for 30 yuan, with 200 pills available.
Materials are the same as medicine. As long as you discover the switch, mass production is not difficult. In both fields, switches are difficult to find.
"Okay!"
Chen Xing looked excited.
Normal temperature superconducting materials that can be mass-produced, then Longguo will need to build another super-large infrastructure to establish its position.
After the excitement, Chen Xing gradually calmed down and began to plan: "Gu Ren, you go to the Shanshui Base and encircle a piece of land to build a mass production factory of normal temperature superconducting materials. From now on, you will be the general person in charge of the factory. How much money to invest, you can send it to my email after summarizing it, and I will ask Vice President Zhang to assist you.”
"Shall I be the factory director?"
Gu Ren was stunned.
He was just a scientific researcher, why was he suddenly promoted to factory director?
Chen Xing looked at his confused look and smiled calmly and said: "No one knows room temperature superconducting materials better than you now. Put aside your other work projects first. We must concentrate our efforts and complete the mass production of room temperature superconducting materials first." .”
"This..."
"Okay then."
Gu Ren has no desire for the factory director.
At present, the annual salary given to him by Chen Xing has reached 2 million.
Since he eats, drinks, and eats everything at the Bantian base, plus various subsidies from the group, he can save 1.98 million from an annual salary of 2 million.
Anyone who has been in society knows that earning 2 million and saving 2 million are not the same concepts.
For example, if you have a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, not counting house and car expenses, renting a house is 2,000 yuan, daily food and expenses are 1,500 yuan, and a tank of gas a month is about 500 yuan. After all these miscellaneous calculations, the monthly salary of 8,000 yuan is less than half. That’s not counting sick and entertainment expenses.
This is why civil servants with a monthly salary of 4,000 RMB are crowded with people trying to get in, while programmers with a monthly salary of 10,000 RMB are looked down upon by their dating partners.
Because of the high hidden benefits of Longxing Group, almost no employees who join the company want to resign. Even if there are employees who resign for some special reasons, they are full of praise for Longxing Group and highly recommend it to their junior brothers and sisters.
"Then thank you for your hard work. I have to arrange some things here. Seeing the dark circles under your eyes, you should get some sleep in the next two days."
Chen Xing also noticed that Gu Ren's dark circles were very serious, somewhat similar to the eye shadow that girls apply when putting on makeup.
Why do I have dark circles?
You don't need to think about it to know that Gu Ren must have worked overtime and burned his own life in order to come out as soon as possible with normal temperature superconducting materials.
"Ha~"
Chen Xing didn't say it was okay, but when he said it, Gu Ren yawned. He hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and it was all supported by his willpower.
Regarding Chen Xing's order to rest, Gu Ren was not polite and accepted it with peace of mind: "Then I will go back and take a nap first, and when I wake up, I will go to the Shanshui Base."
"Go ahead."
Chen Xing nodded slightly.
The outer outline of the Shanshui Base has been built, but there are still large tracts of wasteland inside. According to the plan, all Longxing Group's industries will be moved into it.
Shanshui Base is responsible for industry and production, and Bantian Base is responsible for operations and research and development. This is Chen Xing’s detailed plan.
After Gu Ren left, Chen Xing looked out the window. The sky was completely dark now, and a few stars could still be seen in the distance.
"Report now?"
"Or mass production first?"
Chen Xing was thinking about this problem.
If the news spreads now, we can use the power of the state to quickly mass-produce it and eventually start a new round of industrial revolution.
If it mass-produces it first, the benefits for Longxing Group will definitely be maximized, and maybe it can become a national supplier.
For the greater good?
Or is it for personal gain?
If you choose personal interests, room temperature superconducting materials are enough to bring the Longxing Group and even the entire Chen family to a higher level.
After thinking for less than two minutes, Chen Xing also made a decision.
He took out his cell phone, found Wang Shan's number and dialed it.
Between personal interests and national interests, he chose the latter.
Now Longxing Group has made enough money, and its fields cover semiconductors, communication networks, mobile devices, automobile manufacturing, battery energy, etc. If you add a room temperature superconducting material, Longxing Group will still be Longxing Group. It is impossible to say overseas Founding of the country.
But if it is reported to the country in time and a series of subsequent adjustments are made, the financial war with the United States may be won.
"If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, little brother Chen calls me again. Will you encounter any troublesome things again?"
Wang Shan’s voice came out.
When the Toyota Group was forcibly acquired some time ago, the island country's senior officials wanted to cheat and abolish the stocks held by the Longxing Group. In the end, Wang Shan stepped forward to stand up for Chen Xing.
It was precisely because of the threat of intercontinental missiles and military-level exercises that the Longxing Group successfully took over the Toyota Group.
Chen Xing kept this favor in his heart.
Facing Wang Shan's inquiry, Chen Xing lowered his voice and expressed implicitly: "The material has been successfully developed. If you have time, you can come to Shenzhen to discuss how to mass produce it."
"Material..."
Wang Shan recalled carefully.
He had been busy with so many things recently that he had forgotten what material it was.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, the moment the words "normal temperature superconducting material" appeared, Wang Shan felt a cold air rushing from his tailbone to the sky, making him instantly uneasy.
"You mean that?!!"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure?"
"One hundred percent sure."
"How many people know now?"
"Three."
"Okay, I'll take people there right away. Wait for me. You must wait!"
Wang Shan hung up the phone directly. He considered the surveillance technology of the United States and did not want to take any risks. He quickly returned to the room, opened the drawer, took out the satellite encrypted mobile phone, and called Qin Long, the director of the Academy of Dragon Science.
Qin Long didn't know what happened yet. At this time, he had just finished his day's work and returned to his apartment to take a shower.
Just when he had just finished applying shampoo and rubbing out lather, the assistant outside the door looked flustered and said with a trembling tone:
"Dean!!!"
"Dean!!!"
“A call from Yuquan Mountain!!!”
