"Normal temperature superconductivity."
“I remember the physics meeting in March across from me some time ago.
A third brother from the Dias team at the University of Rochester gave an on-site report.
He said that his laboratory synthesized a room-temperature superconducting material by doping lutetium hydride with nitrogen and published a paper in Nature.
But unfortunately, according to the process and parameters of the test report.
No laboratory in the world can replicate the test.
In the end, the report was judged to be false and became a scandal in the technology and scientific circles. "
Speaking of the latter, Chen Yi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Although, it is a joy to see the opponent make a fool of himself.
But if there is a breakthrough in room-temperature superconducting materials, it will be the entire scientific and technological world, including human civilization, that will benefit.
Even if the main material patent in the first step is occupied by the other side.
But with a copy of room-temperature superconducting materials as a reference, we can cross the river across the river and believe that we can develop our own superconducting materials in just a few years.
"However, this matter was judged to be false."
"But it also indirectly tells people that superconductivity exists in compounds and special compound crystals."
Chen Yi recalled several superconducting compound materials.
The copper-oxide superconductor was first discovered in the 1980s. Iron-based superconductors and magnesium boride superconductors were discovered in the early 21st century. There are also graphene superconducting magic angles and organic compound superconductors that were just discovered in the last ten years.
Think for a moment.
Chen Yi decided to use carbon as the basic material.
After all, system adjustments have different limits for different basic materials.
Several superconductors have been discovered previously, and the entire scientific community has invested countless funds in research for decades.
If it was really good, I'm afraid there would have been a major breakthrough long ago.
No breakthrough means that the foundation is not very good and the limits are limited.
Only carbon organic superconducting materials have been discovered in the past ten years. Current research is limited and the limits are not yet known. It is more likely to achieve room temperature superconductivity.
"The magic angle of carbon graphene cannot exist stably in a natural environment at normal temperature."
"If carbon organic compound materials can really achieve room-temperature superconductivity, the key may be how to solve the problem of the magic angle stably existing in a room-temperature environment."
"Or we can use the superstability of special carbon shapes and incorporate special superconductors to achieve room-temperature superconductivity."
After determining the general idea, Chen Yi did not hesitate.
Simply made some carbon compound wires.
Take out another iron nail and wrap it around the wire in twos and twos.
It doesn't even take a minute.
Chen Yi made an electromagnet device on the spot that elementary school students can use.
"The electromagnet is done. Finally, let's get a large external power supply."
Chen Yi pulled a Yifei 300-kilowatt-hour power battery, pulled out the wires, briefly adjusted the voltage and connected it to the electromagnet.
Suddenly, an interface popped up.
[Item: Simple electromagnet]
[Attributes: Energy x99.9, Magnetism x2.4 (-1.3), Efficiency x2.8, Conductivity x3.9]
[Note: This is an electromagnet device that elementary school students can make.
However, due to poor technology, the actual magnetism declined significantly.
Even if you connect it to a super-sized power supply, it can't cover up the nature of your technical incompetence]
"."
Chen Yi looked at this comment and evaluation, then looked at the number of winding turns of the wire and the gap between the wires. It was obvious that the electromagnet was unqualified. He silently added two more turns, and then tightened all the wires.
Um.
The recessional bracket disappears.
"Comfortable."
Chen Yi shouted and began to adjust and improve the conduction properties that represented the performance of the wire.
Colorful lights bloom.
Covering the entire power battery and electromagnet.
【Energy: 99.9→47.9】
[Conduction: 3.9→49.9]
【Magnetic: 2.4→5.4】
【Efficiency: 2.8→5.4】
[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】
After ten minutes, the light dissipated.
The power battery in front of me has not changed, and neither has the electromagnet.
On the contrary, the diameter of the carbon wire originally wrapped around the iron nail has become much smaller, and the originally dull surface has become bright and shining.
"It seems that 49.9 is the limit of the current object."
Chen Yi looked at the conduction property that could not be improved to 49.9 and understood that this was the limit of the current device.
Without hesitation, choose to read.
call! A large amount of technical information and basic principles emerged in Chen Yi's mind.
With the help of the system, Chen Yi quickly digested the contents.
This is the structural information, proportioning information, production process, and some basic principles of design of a special carbon material.
"Why does this look a bit like carbon nanotubes? No, it should be carbon nanorolls."
Feeling the data and information in his mind, Chen Yi looked a little strange.
Carbon nanotubes, also known as Bucky tubes.
The material with the strongest tensile strength in the world.
In science fiction, it is known as the best material for building space elevators.
Of course, Chen Yi, who has mastered self-lifting technology, will naturally not build any space elevator.
It’s just that he feels that carbon nanotubes are the strongest in the world, and now they probably have to move their place to give way to this kind of carbon material.
Based on the technical information read.
This is a material even more abnormal than carbon nanotubes.
Most conventional carbon nanotubes have only one layer of wall, or several carbon nanotubes are nested together, forming a double-layer or multi-layer structure.
But now this.
It is so densely packed that there are thousands of layers at a glance.
According to the technical information read, the maximum level can be tens of thousands of layers.
Between the layers, the carbon atoms in the layer walls are connected together at regular intervals.
It forms a structure that is different from ordinary carbon nanotubes in that they are completely hollow and have no connected walls.
Thousands of carbon layers directly turn the microscopic carbon tube structure into a macroscopic carbon wire visible to the naked eye.
“This thing, let’s not talk about the conductivity for the moment, but the tensile strength must be abnormal.”
Chen Yi took some tensile testers and prepared to simply test the performance of the new wires.
Because disassembly will cause the adjusted properties to collapse.
He clamped a piece of wire directly on top of the electromagnet for testing.
After a series of tests, he obtained the basic parameters of the wire.
The tensile strength, calculated using standard mass and diameter, is 107.9 times that of carbon nanotubes.
The resistance value is 1.03× 10^(-21)Ωm, although it does not reach the zero resistance value of superconducting.
But it is almost 14 orders of magnitude lower than the copper material used in daily use, and it is more than 13 orders of magnitude lower than the most conductive silver.
"The tensile strength of carbon nanotubes is 107.9 times, what kind of abnormal tensile strength."
"With a resistance value of minus 21, even without superconductivity, this is the best wire material in the world."
“If all UHV transmission lines are replaced with carbon nanowires, tens of billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity can be saved every year.”
Chen Yi sighed with emotion.
In the past, the laboratory began to produce this special carbon nanowire.
Mass production of such complex carbon nanotubes requires specifically designed professional equipment.
To make it temporarily, you can only go to the laboratory and draw it out bit by bit manually.
But because the microscopic carbon structure is too abnormally complex.
Even with the help of laboratory instruments.
Chen Yi still spent more than three days, during which he even asked Xuannv to help perfect the preparation plan.
In the end, a carbon nanowire with a length no more than 10 centimeters and a maximum number of more than 8,000 layers was produced, which was not very uniform.
"Chemical preparation is simply not something people can play with. It's a test of character and luck."
"No wonder, when a chemist like Nobel used explosives, his whole family was killed and disabled."
Chen Yi held this piece of carbon nanomaterial less than 10 centimeters.
Take out the small hydraulic scissors, click it, cut off 3 cm, and place it on a magnet.
The tensile strength is abnormal, but it does not mean that the yield strength is also abnormal.
No matter how awesome the carbon nanotubes are, they can't escape being crushed by hydraulic shears.
[Item: Carbon Nanowires]
[Attributes: conduction x78.5, tensile strength x91.7, resistance to degeneration x81.7]
[Note: This is a carbon nanomaterial that has reached or even exceeded the ceiling of current material technology. Its strong resistance to degeneration allows it to adapt to many harsh environments. 】
Three attributes of simplicity.
Chen Yi looked at the final resistance of the three attributes, thought about it, and roughly understood the meaning.
This sex change.
It’s not the degeneration of Siam, but the change of material properties.
In some high-temperature environments or strong magnetic environments, the resistance of ordinary conductors will generally change, causing the resistance to increase and the power to decrease.
The anti-denaturation property represents the degree of resistance to these special environments.
"The initial resistance to degeneration is so strong, this is simply the perfect basis for superconducting materials."
Chen Yi recalled the three key critical parameters of superconducting materials.
With a thought, he began to adjust the properties of the carbon nanowires.
"Fill the conductor first."
【Tensile strength: 91.7→79.3】
[Conduction: 78.5→99.9]
[Note: This is a carbon nanowire whose resistance reaches the limit of conventional materials. Perhaps, you can further improve its structure to help it break through the limit. You can also provide an ultra-low temperature environment to change the microscopic normative phase of the material. Changing the obstacles to electron movement...]
"99.9 is the limit."
Chen Yi frowned and looked at the interface in front of him.
Originally, he thought that the properties of individual material items reached their limits.
Just like how artificial intelligence upgraded intelligent life before, it will touch the quantum realm and begin to enter a new field of adjustment and upgrade.
But I didn't expect that now that the conduction of the carbon nanowire has been raised to the limit, it is stuck there.
"Increase the ultra-low temperature environment. This is no different from the current superconducting materials."
Chen Yi looked at the content of the comment.
Carbon nanostructures are superconducting structures, he knew.
However, the temperature required to achieve superconductivity must be very low.
Such superconductivity is no different from today's superconductivity, not the room-temperature superconductivity he wanted.
"If low temperature doesn't work, then we should further improve the structure."
Low temperature environment was rejected.
Chen Yi looked at another improved structure and its anti-denaturation properties.
At this moment, Chen Yi felt like he had grasped the trick.
"System, adjust!"
Colorful lights bloom.
The properties of the wires before my eyes continue to change.
[Tensile strength: 79.3→60.3]
【Anti-denaturation: 81.7→100.7】
[Note: This is a carbon nanowire that transcends the limits of conventional materials, surpasses the current technological ceiling, and involves quantum force field technology. 】
[It is detected that a certain attribute exceeds the initial value. Do you want to read the information? whether! 】
[The detection material reaches the limit beyond the conventional field, and the consciousness wave consumption of subsequent adjustments increases a thousand times. 】
call!
The light faded.
System prompts appeared in front of Chen Yi's eyes.
At the same time, the carbon nanowires that were originally placed quietly on the magnet suddenly seemed to have anti-gravity.
It floated up without any external power, hovering a few centimeters above the magnet, slowly rotating.
