Chapter 212 Superconducting Material Development Success
"Where is the thing? Take me to see it!" Upon arriving at the Institute of Metal Research, Zhu Jie immediately said to Yan Min who came up to him.

Zhu Jie couldn't help being in a hurry. Zhu Jie had already handed over the formula of room temperature superconducting materials to Yan Minshun half a year ago. Although he gave Yan Minshun a rough range to conduct experiments by himself, it took more than half a year to finally "develop" it. It can be said that Yan Minshun's luck was bad, every time he tried, he didn't choose the correct set of formulas.

Zhu Jie can't say clearly about this matter, you should try that set of formulas first, you can only wait and wait, hoping that Yan Minshun's luck will be better next time, and choose the correct set of formulas.

Room-temperature superconducting materials are very important to Zhu Jie's entire mechanical industrial layout. They are especially commonly used in some weapons and equipment. It can be said that without room-temperature superconducting materials, the effectiveness of those weapons will be greatly reduced or even outright unusable.

Finally, after the Spring Festival, Yan Minshun sent good news to Zhu Jiebao. When researching a certain type of metal material, he discovered a material with zero resistivity at room temperature.After receiving the news, Zhu Jie finally smiled. The resistivity is zero, which means that electric energy can be used more effectively, which means that many of his weapons can be put on the agenda of research and development.

Immediately, Zhu Jie rushed to the Metal Research Institute in Jiangcheng with his new secretary, Hu Yang. He wanted to pay enough attention to this "unexpected discovery".

What was originally given to you is the formula of superconducting materials, but I didn't tell you in advance.Since I didn't tell you in advance, I'll just pretend not to know and pretend to have discovered it by accident.

"That... something went wrong..." Seeing Zhu Jie's excitement, Yan Minshun hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth. Regarding scientific research, Yan Minshun knew that what Zhu Jie hated most was deception. You can fail, you can make mistakes, you You can even "waste money" over and over again, but you can't cheat.Now that the situation has repeated itself, does this count as cheating?

"What's the matter?" Zhu Jie kept walking towards the laboratory building, asking as he walked.

"That..." Yan Minshun decided to tell the truth. Anyway, after entering the laboratory building, the boss will know the situation soon, and he can't hide it if he wants to.The boss himself is a "material science expert", and it is impossible to conceal and deceive the boss in this regard.

"When the new material came out, when we tested the conductivity, we found that its resistivity was almost zero at room temperature. After many tests, we will report the situation to you, the boss..." Yan Minshun decided to tell the truth To tell the truth: "When we smelted, we used an oxygen-free environment. However, during the two days since you came here, the boss, due to the oxidation of the material, now, it is no longer superconducting, and the resistivity is increasing. The degree of oxidation gradually increased."

Zhu Jie stopped and thought about what to say but did not say anything. Instead, he stepped forward and said, "Take me to see it first!"

Zhu Jie originally wanted to say, I knew this a long time ago, but he swallowed the words abruptly.How do you know, did you say "Qiaoqiu"?impossible.

Zhu Jie learned from "Qiuqiu" that this kind of room temperature superconducting material needs to be used in a vacuum state, that is, it cannot be oxidized to maintain its superconducting physical properties. will disappear.

According to "Qiuqiu", aerospace fighters and their weapons operate in space, that is, in a vacuum environment, and there is no oxidation at all, so this superconducting material can be used daily. Although there are other types of superconducting materials in "Qiuqiu", some of them cannot meet the requirements of Zhujie's current processing technology, and some of them are too expensive to be mass-produced.

In fact, oxidation takes time and is a gradual process.It is not that the material will be oxidized as soon as it comes into contact with oxygen. Before this superconducting material is oxidized, there are ways to remedy it. Although the effect before oxidation cannot be achieved, the resistivity will not increase much, almost Similar to superconducting materials, it can basically be applied.

After reading all the test reports, especially the later resistivity test report, Zhu Jie pretended to think about it, and then asked: "From the test process, the oxidation started on the tenth day, right?"

"Yes!" A person in charge of the research and development of this room temperature superconducting material stepped forward and introduced: "Boss, we didn't expect oxidation to occur so quickly, and the resistivity will change due to oxidation."

"If, I mean if, if we find a way to prevent it from contacting with oxygen, can it slow down its oxidation?" Zhu Jie guided.

"This is unlikely. We compared the experimental data of two groups of superconducting materials. The group with more electricity oxidized faster. That is to say, the oxidation is probably related to their work, which is electricity. As long as it is working, it may be oxidized, and the oxidation speed can be delayed unless there is no electricity, but its superconducting properties cannot play a role, so it is a dilemma."

The corner of Zhu Jie's mouth turned up slightly, and he asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Ah!" The person in charge was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Boss, my name is Yan Benyuan!"

"From then on, this superconducting material will be code-named 'Benyuan Alloy'." Zhu Jie turned to Yan Minshun and said, "All experimental reports must be changed to Yuanyuan Alloy, and the name must not be named after its formula. Keep it strictly confidential." After Yan Minshun nodded to express his understanding, Zhu Jie continued: "Oxidation, does it need oxygen? How can it oxidize without oxygen? Can we start from this aspect and find a way to isolate the contact between the original alloy and the air, or Contact with oxygen, thereby retarding its oxidation.”

Yan Benyuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that the boss would name this new type of alloy material after him. In this way, would his name be immortalized forever?However, the recipe and so on are all provided by the boss, and I am just the one who does the work, is this okay?Yan Benyuan, who was about to be polite, heard that Zhu Jie said to find a way to isolate the contact between the Benyuan alloy and the air so as to delay its oxidation. A flash of inspiration flashed in his head, and he immediately thought that in daily life, the wires should be wrapped with a layer of rubber insulator Yes, then, can a layer of similar insulator be wrapped outside the native alloy?Rubber definitely won't work, you'll have to find a new insulating material.

"Boss! I have an idea. If we can find an insulating material that can isolate air and wrap it in the original alloy, it should be able to isolate oxygen." Yan Benyuan said.

Zhu Jie nodded with a smile, and thought to himself: Smart man, really smart man, brother knows how to do it at a glance, it seems that he will have to bear the burden in the future.

Although Zhu Jie knows how to use the Benyuan alloy to be used in an aerobic environment, he can't say it directly, but said to Yan Minshun and Yan Benyuan: "This idea is very good, the next step is Benyuan, your group , the focus of work should be on this direction.”
