When Yan Shiqing was eager to take up his post, a leadership team composed of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Bureau of Science and Industry, and the Science Foundation had already arrived in Xihai.
The leadership team is headed by Zhao Enshun and Xu Baogong. Zhao Enshun is the minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and Xu Baogong is the director of the Bureau of Science and Industry and a deputy ministerial leader.
A leadership team headed by the minister and deputy minister came to Xihai specifically, and you can tell how much they attach importance to the new results of the superconducting material experimental group.
In addition to the leaders of the Science and Technology Department and the Bureau of Science and Industry, there was also an expert team from the Science Foundation, the top expert among whom was Academician Wu Hui.
Wu Hui also received the news that the superconducting material experimental group had achieved significant results, but he didn't know how significant they were. However, considering that Wang Hao was always unexpected, he felt that Yan Shiqing was in danger.
That's why Wu Hui called Yan Shiqing and politely persuaded him not to come.
He actually cares about Yan Shiqing.
Wu Hui and Yan Shiqing are old friends. They have known each other for more than 20 years. They have also done superconducting-related research together and achieved significant results. They were both later promoted to academicians.
Yan Shiqing served as the leader of the superconducting materials experimental group, and Wu Hui was also happy for him, because Yan Shiqing came to cooperate with Wang Hao.
Wu Hui was aware of Yan Shiqing's level and knew that even if the other party came over and led the research alone, it would be very difficult to achieve results. At least it would take a long time and a certain amount of luck.
But Wu Hui is very confident in Wang Hao. He feels that as long as Wang Hao participates in the project, it will definitely produce results. It is only a matter of time.
He still didn't expect that the results would come so quickly and be so important that it would be worthy of forming a leadership team to come to Xihai specifically to take a look.
Such a major achievement made Yan Shiqing very embarrassed.
Because Yan Shiqing has not officially taken office, the experimental team has already achieved significant results, and it will be very embarrassing for him to officially take office.
At that time, what do the people in the research team think?
They will be unconvinced by the new leader who "came over by air. Even if Yan Shiqing is an academician, he will not be convinced, because they have already achieved results and there is no need for anyone else to be in charge."
It would be even more problematic if the news was released. Many people would definitely think that Yan Shiqing came here to take credit.
But even if he takes the credit, it must be done before the research is completed, not after the results have been produced. If Yan Shiqing comes to take up a new position, he will be considered "shameless".
and……
What he stole was Wang Hao’s contribution!
Although Yan Shiqing is an academician and has made certain achievements in the field of superconductivity, he is nothing compared to Wang Hao. The gap between the two is really too big.
In short, there is no benefit to Yan Shiqing coming to take up the post. Not only will he not be able to take the credit, but he may lose his job at the end of the year.
Wu Hui walked among the group of people and couldn't help but sigh when he thought about Yan Shiqing.
When Yan Shiqing was first selected as the research center, he had already reminded the other party to come and take up the post as early as possible.
The results haven’t come yet, so it’s really too late!
Wu Hui sighed.
The arrival of the leadership team was sudden. They did not say hello in advance. After arriving at Xihai, they went straight to the superconducting materials experimental base.
When they arrived at the experimental base, Deng Huanshan didn't even know it, and neither did the other people inside.
The experimental team is measuring the properties of two new materials. There are so many things that need to be measured that they even feel overwhelmed.
After the leadership team arrived, someone outside notified Deng Huanshan.
Deng Huanshan suddenly felt a little panicked. He immediately took people out to receive the people from the leadership group. Fortunately, he was confident in his heart. He knew that the people from the leadership group were here to check out their latest achievements.
Deng Huanshan received the leadership group and asked others to inform Wang Hao.
Soon everyone involved in the experiment came over, including Wang Hao, Fu Xiangdong, He Yi and others.
After Wang Hao arrived at the experimental base, the first person he saw was Wu Hui.
Wu Hui is an old acquaintance.
Wang Hao came over and shook hands with Wu Hui, and said with a wry smile, "You guys also formed a group to come over for a surprise inspection?"
Wu Hui smiled and said, "It was Minister Zhao who made the decision. Your achievement... is really great!" He pursed his lips hard as he spoke, with a tone of surprise in every word.
Wu Hui just learned about the results. He initially thought that he had developed a superconducting material of about 100k.
The superconducting transition temperature of 100K is already remarkable, but I didn't expect to reach the point in one step and develop a superconducting material with a transition temperature of 132K.
This number is simply incredible.
Wu Hui is the director of the Superconductivity Office of the Science Foundation. He naturally knows what a superconducting material with a transition temperature of 132K and which can be used in industry represents.
That can easily create new technologies and even change energy logic to a certain extent.
Wu Hui and Wang Hao continued walking inside, and saw the leaders who were visiting the equipment room.
A group of leaders greeted Wang Hao.
Everyone was very enthusiastic. They already knew from Deng Huanshan that the research direction was led by Wang Hao. Not only did he provide theoretical support, but Wang Hao also provided key opinions on experimental research.
Wang Hao is undoubtedly the one who has made the greatest contribution.
Xu Baogong shook hands with Wang Hao, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "This new result of yours really shocked us. When I heard it, I thought it was fake. How could we develop superconducting materials exceeding 120k so quickly? "
"But as soon as I heard that it was Professor Wang who participated in the experiment, I felt confident."
"You flatter me."
Wang Hao also said politely.
Next he talked to others, and then followed the large group to visit the experimental room.
The temporary base where the superconducting materials experimental group is located has very complete equipment, but the site is not very good. The equipment room is a temporary blue leather workshop. The experimental base is only a six-story office building with three floors above. They are all dormitories. Most of the first floor is used as a reserve room, and the other two floors are offices, conference rooms, etc.
So most of the research work is carried out in the blue leather temporary workshop.
Looking at the environment of the experimental base, the members of the leadership team were full of emotion, "It's such a hard work for you to be able to produce such great results in such a difficult environment."
"If it was nothing in the 1980s and 1990s, it's too bad now!"
"The research center has been planned. When it is completed next year, you will be able to change to a better environment."
Zhao Enshun and Xu Baogong also talked about a lot of hard work and so on, which was their affirmation of the experimental group.
After walking around the experimental base, they went to the conference room on the second floor, and it was time to report the results. The report of the results was not only related to the two new materials, but also related to other supporting research.
Deng Huanshan was responsible for reporting the research results of two new materials; He Yi talked about the material testing content of the AC gravity field experiment; Fu Xiangdong reported the work results of the calculation team.
Of course, everything is still dominated by Deng Huanshan, because the work of other assistants is too professional, and most of the people in the leadership team cannot understand it.
"We have conducted a series of tests on two new materials."
"But the detection is not perfect yet. We only measured the superconducting transition temperature, melting point, oxidation resistance, hardness, stretchability, and superconducting current area maximum value."
"At the same time, we are also measuring the elemental composition. This determination is relatively complicated. It also needs to be analyzed based on the preparation process. It may take about half a month to determine it."
"Through some simple evaluations, we have determined that the physical and chemical properties of the two new materials are stable and have a high probability of being put into industrial use."
Deng Huanshan introduced two new materials.
The leadership team's eyes lit up when they heard this. They had only seen the results report before, but now when they heard Deng Huanshan talk about the results directly, it felt more real.
After the results report, the leadership team watched the superconducting transition temperature test of a material.
This test is the most important.
The leadership team had experts like Wu Hui, so they were naturally able to judge simple experiments. They watched the pointer of the testing instrument stop at 132k, and their hearts dropped as they watched.
Many people were very excited.
The same goes for Zhao Enshun. After he finished watching the experiment, he shouted, "Team Leader Deng, please write down the list of everyone who participated in the experiment."
"Everyone records merit, and everyone has a reward. Not only the experimental group, but also the theoretical group, they are treated equally."
Zhao Enshun, Xu Baogong and others are very excited. Their positions have almost reached the highest point. The position of leading science and technology can be said to be well-informed, but the results they see now are really exciting.
After the excitement passed, Zhao Enshun suddenly realized a problem, "Why didn't I see Academician Yan Shiqing?"
There was silence for a while.
Deng Huanshan said blankly, "Academician Yan Shiqing hasn't come yet?"
"not coming?"
Zhao Enshun opened his mouth in surprise. He had never thought of this possibility.
Before coming here, he had always thought that the superconducting materials experimental group under the leadership of Yan Shiqing had completed such a major research. After all, Yan Shiqing was a top scholar in the field of superconducting materials in China. He was in charge of experiments and Wang Hao was in charge of theory. It was a perfect match.
result……
Yan Shiqing hasn't come yet?
Zhao Enshun opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to say, "Then why is he here?"
…
Yan Shiqing is here.
He arrived at Xihai on the same day as the leadership team, and he hurried to the experimental base, but he only arrived at five o'clock in the afternoon.
When he arrived at the experimental base, he happened to meet the leadership group walking out of the base.
When Yan Shiqing was stopped for questioning, he found out that he was the director of the research center, and someone went over to report it.
Then Zhao Enshun walked face to face and saw Yan Shiqing who was blocked outside.
Zhao Enshun and Yan Shiqing walked across each other, glanced at him curiously, and then said, "Academician Yan, have you just arrived? Let's go together?"
"ah?"
Yan Shiqing was confused.
He didn't understand at all why Zhao Enshun, the Minister of Science and Technology, appeared at the experimental base. Then he saw Xu Baogong next to him and Wu Hui in the middle of the team.
Wu Hui was walking at the back. After he saw Yan Shiqing, he walked a few steps quickly. Then he grabbed Yan Shiqing and walked with the team. He said to him, "Minister Zhao asked you to follow, then you will follow." Bar."
Yan Shiqing hadn't figured out the situation yet, so he emphasized, "Old Wu, I'm here to take up a job."
"No."
Wu Hui shook his head and said, "You go along, I'll talk to you on the way."
The leadership team did not leave Xihai, but temporarily added work to inspect other key laboratories and confidential research bases.
Yan Shiqing walked along and didn't know what happened specifically until dinner in the evening.
The superconducting materials experimental group has developed superconducting materials with a transition temperature exceeding 120K?
When he heard the news, Yan Shiqing's eyes widened. Like everyone else, his eyes were full of disbelief.
According to Yan Shiqing's idea, even if the research is very successful, it will take several years to complete, and if it is not successful, it may take more than ten years. It is even hard to say whether he will be able to see it in his lifetime.
result……
Is it done now?
It has only been a month since he was confirmed as the director of the Superconducting Materials Research Center. He still feels that experimental research has not even started. Even when he took office in the past, he first perfected theoretical issues instead of directly conducting experimental research.
Yan Shiqing finally knew why Minister Zhao asked him to go with him. The results had already been achieved, so why was he here?
Taking credit?
At the same time, he also felt very humiliated, as if he had not done anything and yet he was the one who deliberately came to take credit but was stopped.
wrong!
Yan Shiqing felt that he had also done something, which was to recruit several algebraic geometry scholars from the Institute of Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences and let them come and participate in the research of superconducting materials.
He has already recommended the list of personnel.
After their superiors gave their approval, several algebraic geometers were transferred to Xihai.
result
He can't go there by himself...
…
The leadership team returned to the capital.
The research results of superconducting materials were a top priority. Zhao Enshun immediately held a major internal meeting and quickly made three decisions.
The first decision is to increase investment in the superconducting materials research center, speed up the construction of the research center as much as possible, and fully support related research.
The second decision was to promote Deng Huanshan to the director of the research center.
This decision was mainly based on the fact that Wang Hao did not want to be the director of the research center, because being the director would make him very busy. Wang Hao already wore multiple hats and only served as deputy director to provide theoretical support. If he wanted to join the experiment, he could join. If he didn’t want to, he could join. Once you join, you can get out, which will definitely make it easier and freer.
The third decision is the most important, which is to demonstrate the establishment of a new enterprise, mainly around the manufacturing of new materials.
At that time, the Xihai Superconducting Materials Research Center will be classified as the research center of the new enterprise.
The name of the new enterprise has been finalized, named "China Superconducting Industry Co., Ltd."
Of course, setting up a new enterprise is not that simple. It still needs to be discussed in conjunction with other departments and large enterprises. Funding, shareholding, investment, profit distribution, etc., a series of issues need to be discussed in detail.
This is no small thing.
Because of the two new material technologies, superconducting materials that can be put into industrial use are equivalent to a monopoly technology. As long as they are manufactured, there is no need to worry about sales. The company will definitely develop greatly, snowballing. Become a super large enterprise.
At the same time, the meeting also determined that after all material measurements are completed, the results will be officially announced to the public.
The advantage of publishing the results is that it can demonstrate the country's technical status in the definition of superconductivity, and it is also an advertisement for two new materials, letting the world know that they will produce superconducting materials that can be used in large quantities in industry.
Another reason for announcing the news is that it is impossible to suppress the news. As long as it is officially manufactured and used, the outside world will definitely get the news.
Superconductivity is a major technology that can change science and technology. It will be widely used in civil, medical, industrial, military and other fields. It is impossible for them to invest, produce and use it in a confidential manner.
There is no point in doing that, and it only consumes without producing anything.
The best way is to set up a large-scale enterprise with a monopoly on selling related materials to external parties. The enterprise will quickly grow in size and quickly invest in various applications.
With enough profit support, subsequent research can be self-sufficient and can also bring a large amount of profits and tax revenue to the country.
Technology related to superconducting materials is not worried about being quickly imitated and manufactured.
In the field of materials, many domestic institutions have experience in "reverse engineering," but it is very difficult to create similar materials because they have no relevant experience and data support and do not know how to manufacture them.
Even if you are lucky enough to reverse engineer, it will definitely be several years or more than ten years later. Because there is no relevant research experience, there is no way to further improve.
Technology is like that.
Reverse engineering sounds very powerful, taking things from others and making them your own, but in fact it doesn't mean much when it comes to top-level materials.
Even if a large amount of money is invested to actually produce the materials, because there is no research experience, there is no way to continue the follow-up research.
In a few years or more than ten years, corresponding material manufacturing institutions have developed higher-end materials.
Materials in many domestic fields are stuck, and many high-end materials need to be imported. But now they are at the forefront in the field of superconducting materials.
They must take advantage of this and maintain their leading edge in the field of superconducting materials.
…
The superconducting materials experimental group completed the measurement of various properties of the two new materials.
The whole process took about a month. It was determined that the new materials could be used in industry, and the experimental team also made a detailed report to their superiors.
This is a big day.
Because the popularity has slowly passed, reports on superconductivity have rarely been seen in public opinion. Occasionally, reports can be seen.
, they all just talk about how much money a certain enterprise or institution has invested in the research of superconducting materials, or they just continue to publish previous news, saying that the theory will drive the development of superconducting technology, and so on.
A new announcement was posted on the official website of the Department of Science and Technology.
The content of the announcement is to announce new results, saying that its superconducting material experimental group has developed a new iron-based superconducting material with a transition temperature of 121K.
The announcement was made so quietly that no one even noticed it at first.
After an official media reported it, the announcement was seen by many people, and then the popularity increased exponentially.
Public opinion suddenly exploded!
