After Liu Zhongmin, Zhou Guofu and Zhang An left, Xu Zhou slowly came to the laboratory management office of Ark Academy of Sciences after solving the lunch problem.
After all, it is no longer the previous scientific research base. As a formal academy of sciences, all the staff in the academy are basically on duty.
After formalization, Xu Zhou managed everything in a unified manner except for a few laboratories that he often used.
If other scientific researchers in the hospital need it, they can apply for use according to the project report.
Even if Xu Zhou is the dean himself, he still has to follow the procedures.
Although the degree of freedom is not as high as before, it is rewarded with a large amount of resources and full support from the state.
Many projects were reported to the Dragon Science Academy for research before, but now there is no need for them at all.
Xu Zhou himself has such authority, and given his current status, no matter what resources he wants to mobilize, even if there are any problems with the process, the staff will not really make things difficult for him.
Xu Zhou was walking on the road, still thinking about the problem in his mind.
"Normal temperature superconducting materials, even if they are not used for controllable nuclear fusion, they still have great value..."
As far as Xu Zhou knows, the room-temperature superconductors that are currently being promoted around the world have various limitations.
It cannot be called a true room temperature superconductor at all.
Some require extremely strong air pressure to achieve, while others require maintaining a vacuum environment.
Anyway, there are a lot of restrictions, which is extremely troublesome!
Even so, many so-called room-temperature superconducting materials can only be produced in very small quantities, completely failing to meet the quantity requirements.
This is also the reason why controllable nuclear fusion stellarators have been ignored. Room-temperature superconductivity cannot be solved, and the only solution is to use the Tokmak device.
Walking all the way to an office, Xu Zhou knocked on the door and then walked in.
The people inside looked up at Xu Zhou and were stunned for two seconds, then immediately stood up nervously and said:
"Dean of the hospital! Hello, dean, why are you here?"
Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had reached an awe-inspiring position.
He smiled and gestured to sit down.
"That's right, I want to apply for a nano laboratory and related supporting research materials."
The staff member sitting opposite was stunned for a moment. He had just arrived and was not very familiar with the equipment information of the Ark Academy of Sciences.
He remembered that there was a nano laboratory, but no one had ever applied to use it.
And Xu Zhou is the dean. If he wants to use it, he can just say it. Why did he come all the way just for this matter?
"Okay, Dean...is this just one thing?"
Xu Zhou smiled and said:
"For this matter, you submit the application and I will review and approve it."
"The process still has to go through."
After saying that, he stood up, waved his hand, and left here directly.
Because he came in person, the work was done very quickly.
As soon as I walked into my office, the application came up directly, and I clicked on it to agree.
Xu Zhou went to the nano laboratory.
Room-temperature superconductors, as the name suggests, are materials that can achieve superconducting properties at normal temperatures and pressures.
According to the controllable nuclear fusion information package obtained by Xu Zhou from the Ultrain system, there are suggestions on how to solve room-temperature superconductors.
That is to use carbon nanomaterials!
And this direction is Xu Zhou’s next research direction to achieve room temperature superconductivity!
After getting the key to the laboratory, Xu Zhou received a rare call from Zhang An.
After a while, Zhang An arrived at the Ark Academy of Sciences.
He looked at Xu Zhou and said very sincerely:
"I'm applying to be your assistant. I look forward to witnessing the birth of room-temperature superconductivity. I hope Dean Xu can approve it."
Xu Zhou felt a little sick when he heard this. He really needed assistants. Just now he was planning to mobilize a few people from the research team below.
Who would have thought that Zhang An, a dignified academician, would come over to be his assistant...
"Brother Zhang, you are not following the rules, the dean..."
"Don't worry about the dean, as I said, he also supports me coming to study with you."
Xu Zhou secretly scolded Liu Zhongmin for being such a deceitful person.
"Brother Zhang, it is unreasonable for you, an academician, to be my assistant. If you are interested, you can come to my place and watch."
But Zhang An shook his head and said:
"I will die if I hear the truth in the morning. Academician or assistant is just a status for me. Only with the heart of an apprentice can I see more things clearly."
After saying this, Xu Zhou felt slightly shocked.
An academician who can say something like this is definitely putting aside all dignity for the sake of knowledge and exploration.
In Zhang An's eyes, whatever identity he has now are shackles. He just wants to charge for the knowledge he desires.
This is the reason why the Dragon Kingdom has been able to catch up with the world's progress in such a short period of time after so many years.
Xu Zhou paused, then smiled and said:
"Then I won't be polite? This is my first time calling an academician."
Seeing Xu Zhou agree, Zhang An immediately smiled.
"Even if you use it, you can let me witness a miracle. This is nothing."
"Okay, I'll have someone pack up a dormitory here and bring it out. Brother Zhang can stay there. We'll meet in the laboratory at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
Zhang An nodded, and then went to the car to move his luggage.
The next day, Xu Zhou had breakfast in the cafeteria. After meeting Zhang An, the two went to the Carbon Nano Laboratory together.
"Dean Xu, can this carbon nanoparticle really achieve room-temperature superconductivity?"
"Don't call me Dean Xu, just call me Xu Zhou."
Xu Zhou corrected him awkwardly. He always felt a little uncomfortable being called dean by someone who was older than him and familiar to him.
"This is not important. What I am curious about is why you chose the direction of carbon nanoparticles?"
Xu Zhou slowly stopped and looked at Zhang An, the smile in the corners of his eyes not disappearing.
Then Zhang An only heard Xu Zhou say softly:
"Double-layer parallel graphene material, at a specific angle, will produce the superconducting reaction we are pursuing. This is my theoretical result!"
Zhang An's pupils shrank instantly, and then he felt his heart being pinched tightly, and his breathing became rapid.
"Graphene...can form a superconducting effect?"
"Dean Xu! Is this true?"
Xu Zhou turned around and continued walking towards the laboratory.
"Is it true that what I said is useless? As I said before, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. We will know after we do it once!"
Zhang An seemed to have woken up and said loudly:
"Not bad, not bad, we will know after we try it!"
After saying that, he walked into the laboratory a few steps ahead. Xu Zhou took one look and shook his head helplessly.
This kind of talent is born for scientific research. It feels like nothing can shake his will except scientific research.
Then Xu Zhou also walked into the laboratory and reminded Zhang An:
"Remember to change into a diaper, you may not have time to go to the toilet later."
"Don't worry, I'll be dressed in the morning!"
In the following time, Xu Zhou was responsible for the main hands-on experiments, while Zhang An was responsible for experimental records and various data surveys.
Although it was the first time for the two to cooperate, they had a rare tacit understanding.
Sometimes Xu Zhou hasn't said what he needs next, but Zhang An is already ready.
This made Xu Zhou sigh, this academician assistant is indeed much more comfortable than ordinary assistants...
This level of tacit understanding is not comparable to that of ordinary assistants.
In this way, the two of them were busy from morning to two o'clock in the afternoon.
During this period, except for closing their eyes and resting for a minute, the two of them did not pause at any time.
Finally, with Xu Zhou's exhalation, the experiment ended.
"Then I'll leave it to you to witness."
Zhang An was a little stunned and said:
"I?"
"Well, test whether it has superconducting properties. Don't you want to witness it?"
Zhang An suddenly became excited, took a deep breath, nodded and said:
"Okay, leave it to me!"
After that, he started testing the properties.
Xu Zhou watched from the side, not worried at all.
Even if there is a problem, it must be a problem with the methods between the two, and there will be no problem with the theory.
After a while, Zhang An looked at the screen displayed on the instrument and opened his mouth.
When he looked back at Xu Zhou, his eyes were filled with tears.
"Succeeded..."
"Dean Xu... we actually succeeded!"
Xu Zhou smiled and patted Zhang An on the shoulder and said:
"Don't get excited. This is where we are. There is still controllable nuclear fusion waiting for us to complete!"
Zhang An's eyes were bright, he looked at the numbers on the instrument again, and he cursed in excitement.
"You're right, this is the first step!"
"Dean Xu, you are such a fucking genius!"
