Chapter 436 Superconductivity

As early as a few years ago, Qin Hai established a Beijing office in the capital under the name of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. Now that the group is formally established, the Beijing Office has been renamed the Daqin Group Beijing Office. Hearing that the chairman arrived in Beijing, the Beijing office dared not neglect it. The director, Su Yabo, personally brought two cars to the capital airport, waiting for Qin Hai's arrival.

Su Yabo was originally an employee of the Red Sea Company. A few years ago, when Qin Hai took Heizi to Quwu to buy coal, he met him. Later, through his introduction, he met Chen Hongcheng. Su Yabo is a government cadre who went to sea with Chen Hongcheng. He is not good at enduring hardships and hard work, but he is quite familiar with things like building relationships, eating and drinking, and he is cautious. He is not the kind of bold and reckless person. At that time, he was sent over. He first worked as the deputy director of the Beijing office, and was promoted to director two years later. He has been working until now, and he has made a Beijing office flourish, and he is also well-known in the capital.

Qin Hai came out from the exit with Heizi, and Su Yabo came to them almost immediately, and took the bag from Qin Hai's hand, and greeted him attentively: "President Qin, you have worked hard, did you go well? "

"Fortunately, the weather is fine." Qin Hai also greeted him with a smile, although he knew that what the other party said was nonsense.

"Are you going back to the Beijing Office to rest first, or do you want to go directly to work somewhere?" Su Yabo asked again. He knew Qin Hai's habit, he usually ran around after arriving in the capital, and rarely asked others to follow him. At the beginning, Su Yabo tried his best to persuade Qin Hai to bring the driver, secretary, bodyguard, etc., but after a few times of persuasion had no effect, he gave up this effort.

Qin Hai replied: "I'm going to Capital University first to see the progress of Professor Chen's research. By the way, how many cars did you bring?"

"Two, one Mercedes-Benz and one Bluebird." Su Yabo replied.

Qin Hai nodded in satisfaction, and said, "That's just right, you and Heizi go back to the office in a Mercedes, and just leave the blue bird to me."

"Understood." Su Yabo nodded.

Which car Qin Hai rides or drives is related to what he wants to do. If the person he wants to meet is an overseas businessman, or the person in charge of a bank, a large state-owned enterprise, etc., then he must take a Mercedes-Benz car, which not only shows his own identity, but also shows respect for the other party . But if he is going to a school, a research institute or a government agency, he has to keep a low profile and drive a Bluebird car himself, which is a more common practice. Su Yabo has also figured out Qin Hai's habits, so every time he picks up the plane, he will bring two cars for Qin Hai to choose.

After driving for an hour, Qin Hai arrived at Capital University. After registering his identity at the school gate, he drove through the campus familiarly, and came to a small building hidden among green trees.

This building is said to be a small building, but it is only compared with the newly built teaching buildings of Capital University. In fact, it occupies a large area. It has three floors, including offices, laboratories, and conference rooms. This is the newly-built Superconducting Materials Research Center of Capital University. Except for the land provided by Capital University, the building and most of the experimental equipment in it were funded and purchased by Daqin Group, which owns its 90% property rights.

Not long ago, Qin Hai decided to donate 39% of the property rights to Tranquility, in order to satisfy the little girl's vanity. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that Tranquility didn't care about these property rights. After all, Qin Hai's interests were her interests, so what could be divided between the two?

Speaking of the Superconducting Materials Research Center, we must first talk about the superconducting phenomenon. In 1911, Dutch scientist Onnes discovered that at an absolute temperature of 4.20K, which is equivalent to a low temperature of about minus 269 degrees, the resistivity of mercury suddenly dropped to zero, which means that the resistance completely disappeared. In the ensuing years, scientists have discovered that other metals, alloys and compounds also have the characteristic of losing electrical resistance under certain low temperature conditions. People call the state of zero resistance a superconducting state, and a conductor with a superconducting state is called a superconductor.

Superconductors have a very wide range of applications. Using the zero-resistance effect of superconductors, people can realize long-distance, lossless transmission of current, and can manufacture high-power motors and generators with low energy consumption; using the characteristics of small size, light weight and strong magnetic field of superconducting magnets, superconducting magnets can be manufactured. Maglev trains and electromagnetically propelled water and underwater ships; using the unique superconducting tunnel effect in superconductors, it is possible to manufacture the most sensitive electromagnetic signal detection components and high-speed computer components that do not exist in the world today.

The superconducting critical temperature of the earliest discovered superconducting materials is generally below tens of K, which greatly limits the application of superconducting materials. After decades of hard work, scientists have developed superconducting materials with a critical temperature above 100K, which greatly reduces the application cost of superconducting materials.

Of course, even a critical temperature above 100K is equivalent to a low temperature of minus 170 degrees Celsius. This material must be protected by liquid nitrogen to maintain superconducting characteristics. How to increase the critical temperature of superconducting materials to room temperature level has become an important goal of superconducting research. If this goal can be achieved, human production and life will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Qin Hai had been exposed to superconductivity research in his previous life, but due to limited time and energy, he couldn't get into it in depth. Now that he has the opportunity to start from scratch, he certainly will not give up this field. However, this time he chose to provide sufficient financial support for superconductivity research to help superconductivity research leaders such as Chen Zongze make faster progress. Of course, what he didn't expect was that after several years of studying in the Department of Physics of Capital University, Ning Jing would also be fascinated by the field of superconductivity. He simply pushed the boat along the way, and on the condition of accepting Tranquility as a graduate student, he invested huge sums of money to build this research center for Chen Zong, which does not appear to be backward even if it is placed abroad.

After parking the car in front of the small building, Qin Hai got out of the car and walked towards the gate. A young guy wearing glasses and holding several foreign periodicals just came out of the door and met Qin Hai head-on. Qin Hai greeted him, "Student, may I ask, which room is Ning Jing in?"

The young man stood up, adjusted his glasses, turned his head to look at the Bluebird car behind Qin Hai, and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"I..." Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, really not knowing how to introduce himself. Meeting by chance, he naturally didn't need to tell the other party that he was the boss of this research center. If he said such a thing in Capital University, he would probably attract people to chase him down. He thought for a while and said, "I am a friend of Tranquility."

"Ning Jing won't have a friend like you." The young man replied firmly.

"Why?" Qin Hai asked in surprise. Could it be that he is not handsome enough? To be a friend of Tranquility, he still needs to take the second-level certificate of a handsome man first?

The young man pointed to the blue bird car driven by Qin Hai, and said, "Don't think that you are qualified to be Tranquility's friend if you drive a good car. There are at least ten people like you who come here every day. I advise you not to make fun of yourself."

Qin Hai was overjoyed, and made a fuss for a long time. The young man couldn't understand the car he drove, and regarded himself as a dude who drove a nice car to pick up girls on campus. Judging from the young man's words, it seems that Tranquility has become a celebrity, and there are no less than ten people driving nice cars here a day to harass her. Well, if the Bluebird can be considered a good car...

"According to what you said, no one who drives a good car is a good person?" Qin Hai became interested and decided to make fun of this guy.

"I didn't say that." The young man said with a serious face, "I just want to tell you that Tranquility is a self-sufficient female classmate, and she will not admire such vanity."

"Then, classmate, can you tell me what Tranquility admires?" Qin Hai followed up on the young man's words.

"She...why should I tell you!" The young man couldn't hold back. In the entire Superconducting Research Center, there are no less than twenty or thirty young talents like him. Who doesn't want to know what Tranquility really admires? But until now, no one has figured out this problem, and all the boys who have offered Ning Jing in various ways have all failed. In the end, everyone can only establish a "guardian alliance" to strictly guard against those disciples who drive luxury cars outside the campus and bring flowers and chocolates, and prevent the rose in the research center from falling into the hands of outsiders. hand.

"If you don't tell me, I can only ask her by myself." Qin Hai laughed, and took out a huge "big brother" from his handbag, which of course made the young man's eyes turn as red as blood. up. He dialed a number and said to the other party: "Hello, please call 12345. My surname is Qin. I am at your school. Please come downstairs to pick me up, over."

In less than a minute, Qin Hai and the young man heard the sound of footsteps on the stairs together, and then a tranquility with sunny faces appeared in front of them. She nodded to the young man first, and said, "Senior Brother Hou, why are you here?" Then, without waiting for Senior Brother Hou to answer, she asked Qin Hai with a smile, "When did you come to the capital? Why didn't you say a word in advance?"

"I just arrived today." Qin Hai replied with a smile, and at the same time cast a teasing glance at Senior Brother Hou. He found that Senior Brother Hou's complexion suddenly became full of bad luck like that of Junior Brother Sha.

"Are you here to find Professor Chen? He happens to be in the laboratory. I'll take you there." Tranquility said, stretched out both hands, grabbed Qin Hai's arm, and led him half-pushing and half-pushing walked in the door.

Why is it happening like that!

Brother Hou watched the two of them walk up the stairs intimately, and felt that a pure boy's heart seemed to be stepped on by ten thousand running alpacas, and the blood flowed all over the ground.
