Black Technology Refresher Manual

Sheng Mingan wrote his discovery in Minnesota as a paper, or submitted it to PRL, and he also submitted two papers on the new theory of physical superconductivity in PRL.

A total of three papers have not yet been reviewed.

Sheng Ming'an is not in a hurry. After finishing his tutor's internship, he returns to MIT, packs his luggage and returns to China for the New Year.

In mid-January, people returned to work after Christmas and annual leave, and PRL's editors were no exception.

Cotton was one of the first batch of editors to resume work. When he opened the email, it showed tens of thousands of unchecked email messages, and he felt suffocated.After cheering up, I searched for keywords first, and started my day's work from the boss's email. He was busy until the last 10 minutes before leaving get off work.

At this time, the twilight is in harmony and the city night lights are on.

"Passes of more than 6000 words, but our journal papers require no more than 6000 words, unless it is the main journal. Contributors should understand the rules of PRL, but he still wrote more than [-] words, indicating that he is either a Overwhelmed? Physicists, or they are rushing to publish in the main journal. Could it be? Who is it?"

"MINGANSHENG...a familiar? name." Cotton's keyword search is a list of big names in physics and rising stars in physics. He is not very familiar with everyone.

He opened Google and searched: "23-year-old? Physics genius... the youngest? Physics Waugh Prize winner! My God, it turned out to be him! He actually has a new paper. Is he a paper production machine?"

Cotton continued to read the paper while complaining: "Based on the coupling of itinerant electrons? The superconducting model explains the room temperature superconductivity of wave superconducting state, Fermi arc and other characteristics... The microscopic theory of room temperature superconductivity——"

"The microscopic theory of room temperature superconductivity?!!!" Cotton almost screamed: "Wait? , Wait? Wait?, how is it possible? Calm down, calm down, I have to calm down first, stay calm."

Cotton took a deep breath, stared blankly, and muttered to himself: "Maybe it's just a hypothesis, isn't it? Is it not? Physicists have proposed a new theory of room-temperature superconductivity, but their theory has been proved to be untenable. Since the discovery of superconductors, It’s not just one physicist claiming to have discovered the theory of room-temperature superconductivity.”

"No matter how rigorous the theory is, it will be criticized for being full of loopholes in front of the most outstanding physicists in the world, although Sheng Mingan is a genius."

Cotton talked to himself to convince himself, calmed down slowly, and then sighed, with a slightly regretful tone: "It would be great if it was established? Room temperature superconductivity theory. By then, the youngest? Physics Nobel Prize winner, he won the Nobel Prize." The award-winning paper was the one I passed the review, which is definitely the greatest achievement in my career.”

After sighing, Cotton settled down to read the thesis. After he finished reading the thesis, the lights outside the window began to come on, but he was excited and didn't care about the unpaid overtime hours. Instead, he was so excited that he wanted to send an email to ask Sheng Mingan to leave. Half of the content of the thesis.

Fortunately, the only reason he had was to restrain his impulse. He continued to check his emails, and he found the second email from Sheng Mingan... huh?Third email?

Cotton was stunned for a moment, and then thought that maybe the theory of room-temperature superconductivity was too much, and because of the rules of their PRL, they had to send it in three emails.

So he opened it? After reading the second email, it was already late at night.

Cotton sighed deeply: "I can't read it at all? I understand."

He was not ashamed at all, because the content involved later was so profound that it was beyond his comprehension.And? Although he is also a Ph.D. in physics graduated from a prestigious school, compared with world-renowned? Physicists, the level gap is too big.

Cotton clicked on the third email, thinking it was still the theory of room-temperature superconductivity, but saw the title of "Experiment to detect dark matter with particles based on two-phase xenon type technology? Excess matter may be solar axions".

"???" Sun axion?No? Is it the theory of room temperature superconductivity?

Cotton suspected that his eyes were dazzled, so he deliberately went back to look at the initial time of the email sent. The time showed that the first two emails were sent in mid-December last year, and the Sun Axion Thesis email was about a week ago——

Almost a month later, he produced another result? !Or from condensed matter physics, materials physics to astrophysics? !

what monster is this? !

Cotton was extremely shocked, but upholding his due professional ethics, he called the reviewers in the related field, Nolzi and Miller, two well-known physics masters.

Because the theory of room-temperature superconductivity is too important, two bigwigs in related fields are needed as review editors. Without thinking about it, Cotton selected Nuoerzi and Miller, who had won the Nobel Prize in Physics for their superconductors. ? Big guy.

After he sent the email, he suddenly remembered that if Sheng Ming'an's theory of room temperature superconductivity was not established, he would probably be criticized by two big names at the same time, because Miller was famous for being picky. Criticizing a civil science scholar who provoked him was so ashamed that he choked up on the spot.

You know, the first requirement to become a civil science scholar is not knowledge, but a thick skin.

Thinking of the boss' glorious past, Cotton couldn't help but shudder, hoping that the boss would not blame him.

It was getting late now, and it was estimated that he would not reply until tomorrow. Cotton breathed a sigh of relief, and sent Sheng Mingan's third paper to another dark matter researcher, Da Niu, before picking up his coat and leaving.

"I hope all papers pass?"

When a certain thesis or a certain person's achievements are so high that others look up to them, others will also look forward to him being more brilliant, so that they can get a little bit of benefit and achieve their own beautiful life experience.

In a laboratory of the IBM Research Institute, Miller got up to take a shower in the morning, brewed a cup of black coffee, and was about to start his day's work. First, he turned on his computer to check if there were any new emails.

Browsing from top to bottom, he saw an email sent by the editor of PRL, so he clicked on it: "...theory of room temperature superconductivity?"

At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, in a certain teacher's building, Nuo Erzi was preparing textbooks when he saw an email reminder that he hadn't read the information.

The assistant called him: "Professor, it's time for you to go to class."

Consultant Nuo Er didn't raise his head: "Go and help me adjust the class. No one is allowed to disturb me today."

"..." Assistant: "Okay, I understand."

***

Huaguo, Nirvana Technology Research Institute.

In the laboratory, Lu Yin was holding a glass box in his hand, which contained two black objects shaped like AA batteries.

Beside her is a middle-aged man with an obvious western profile. This man is a talent dug back from abroad by Zhang Hongyue, and he brought the whole team back to the research institute.

At the same time, the middle-aged man and his team followed Sheng Mingan's guidance to complete the synthesis of room temperature superconducting materials.

The middle-aged man's name is Gallagher, and he said excitedly: "The room-temperature superconducting material made according to the improvement plan you gave is made of graphene as the raw material, and the combination reaction of two elements, sulfur and hydrogen. The room-temperature superconducting material that has been developed can achieve superconductivity at 23°C and a pressure of about [-] times the atmosphere."

"enough."

Sheng Ming'an is already very satisfied with the technology of increasing the temperature from 15°C to 23°C and reducing the pressure from 200 million times the atmospheric pressure to [-] times the atmospheric pressure in a short period of time.

All of the above technologies can be further improved. There is no urgent need for more sophisticated room-temperature superconducting materials, and there will be opportunities for further research and development in the future.

Compared with the realization of temperature increase and air pressure reduction technology, Sheng Mingan is concerned about the application of graphene as a basic raw material.

Previously, the raw material of carbon element was diamond, which is not expensive, but it is easily damaged under super strong pressure, so it is expensive to consume it.

Now, it is replaced by graphene with strong compressive capacity, and the degree of damage is reduced. More importantly, graphene mass production technology has been realized and promoted, and the price has been reduced. The cost of room temperature superconducting materials will also decrease, and it can be popularized and used.

Sheng Mingan: "You did a good job."

Gallagher: "It's your? The experimental plan is too perfect." He paused, and said happily: "Your? The plan stimulated my? Inspiration, I think I need to retreat."

Lu Yin: "It's to inspire."

Gallagher: "It doesn't matter. Boss, I want to take a few days off."

Sheng Mingan: "Yes. The salary remains the same."

Gallagher: "Thank you, boss." After finishing speaking, he continued to take Sheng Mingan to visit the laboratory, and reported the failures encountered in the process of synthesizing room temperature superconducting materials.

Sheng Ming'an listened carefully, took away the relevant materials, and called Zhang Hongyue to inform him that there was another business coming.

Zhang Hongyue raised his voice: "International patent application for room temperature superconducting materials?!"

Sheng Ming'an: "There is also technology. There are two invention patents and technical patents."

Zhang Hongyue: "Wait first? Wait? Let me confirm. The international patent application for superconducting materials you mentioned refers to superconducting materials that can be promoted and used at room temperature, low pressure? Invention and technology patents? Have you developed them? "

"Ah."

Zhang Hongyue: "...Damn it." She was so shocked that all she could do was worship.

Graphene industrialization? The patent application for the extraction technology has only been passed? How long has it been? It is a new invention technology patent so soon. Sheng Mingan is really not a human being.

Zhang Hongyue: "I will file for the record now, no? But? I think the patent department may initiate a substantive examination of our patent."

That is to say, data alone may not be convincing enough. Whether it is true or not, room temperature superconducting materials are enough to shake the entire material physics world.

Once this patented technology is made public, Sheng Mingan will definitely attract the attention of all.

Sheng Ming'an: "It's okay, you can do it."

Zhang Hongyue: "Okay, I'll go now!"

End the communication after speaking.

Zhang Hongyue is quick to do things, and there are many avenues to go. After establishing a good relationship, the patent department quickly passed the preliminary review of Sheng Mingan's patent application. Dazzling.

When the editor in charge of the review of the National Benefit Bureau saw this application, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly ran to the director with his computer: "Lan Chu, please take a look at this patent application."

No? Why do you care about it: "Is there a problem?"

Responsible editor: "I don't? I don't know how to say it. You'd better see it for yourself."

"If you have any questions, call back and re-examine... Let me check - room temperature? Are you sure? It's high temperature?"

The "high temperature" of high-temperature superconductivity is definitely not the same concept as the high temperature mentioned in daily life. The "high temperature" of physical superconductivity is far lower than normal room temperature.

Lan Chu took over the computer and only glanced at it, then fixed his eyes suddenly: "Who called? Application? Nirvana Institute of Technology? Why am I so familiar with this name... Isn't this? It was an application for graphene mass production technology some time ago. Sheng Ming'an's? The company!"

The responsible editor swallowed her saliva: "That's right, so I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, isn't our Huaguo Technology a big step forward? Such a big thing, I don't think so." Can't make up my mind."

Lan Chu's heart was full of excitement, and his vision was comparable to that of the responsible editor. If the room temperature superconducting technology is really realized, Huaguo Technology will not only take a big step forward.

He made a decisive decision: "Ask the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to look at the technical application materials, and then organize comrades to review it in person! Forget it, don't call, I will go there in person."

Lan Chu personally went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find relevant fields? Daniels, please review the patent application materials again. I thought I would get the answer soon. Who knows that the experts are more excited than one another, and they burst out together intense discussions.

Lan Chu, who had been ignored for two or three hours, finally got attention. An academician took the initiative to ask, "Will you organize substantive examination for this kind of special patent application?"

Lan Chu nodded: "Yes?"

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for the National Interest Bureau to take the initiative to conduct substantive examination. One is that there are too many loopholes and doubts in the patent application materials, and the other is that the content of the patent is too important.

Obviously this time belongs to the second case.

Academician: "I haven't found anyone yet. How about? In this way, I will pick a few people to go there. Do you think it will work?"

Lan Chu: "..." What can he do?This is obviously not an inquiry but a notification! "OK."

The academicians were satisfied.

The Spring Festival holiday ended unexpectedly. Sheng Mingan needed to go back to MIT, but before he returned to school, he received a notice from the Bureau of National Interests to come to review the content of the patent. A lecture will be held in the meeting room of the Institute, detailing the principle and scheme of synthesis of room temperature superconducting materials.

The meeting was temporarily decided, and it was hastily set two days before the Lantern Festival, just when the academician expert group arrived at the institute.

Both parties are informal people, without too much politeness, just start the lecture in the conference room, with Sheng Mingan sitting in the opening speech, first detailing the plan at the top, and the audience of the expert group at the bottom.

What surprised Sheng Mingan was that there were some acquaintances in the expert group, that is, old friends Zhang Qunfang and Shen Weiguo, who were also the first national academicians he had known since his rebirth.

"In the beginning, the inspiration for the synthesis of room temperature superconducting materials was based on the Cooper pair in the BCS theory. After in-depth research on the Cooper pair, I found that the small size and light weight of hydrogen atoms can make electrons in the lattice point The closer the distance, the faster the propagation of condensed waves..."

"It has been discovered that elements such as hydrogen, sulfur, and carbon can achieve high-temperature superconductivity under certain conditions. Before that, physicists have used the synthesis of two elements to achieve high-temperature superconductivity, so I tried to synthesize three elements based on these elements... ..."

Sheng Mingan wrote the chemical formula of the synthetic material, "C element and S element are mixed at a molar ratio of 1:1, put into digital-analog conversion and then filled with hydrogen gas... After electrification, it is detected that the resistance is zero. In summary , to synthesize room temperature superconducting materials.”

After finishing the lecture, Sheng Mingan turned to face the people in the meeting room, ready to be questioned, but as time passed, the room was still silent, and he wondered, could it be that he spoke too badly?

After a long time, Zhang Qunfang asked: "What principle do you use to synthesize room temperature superconducting materials?"

How? Is this the problem?Sheng Ming'an was a little strange, but answered truthfully: "The inspiration comes from the BCS theory, and the synthesis of superconducting materials is based on the theory of room-temperature superconductivity."

"Theory of room temperature superconductivity?"

"Yes." Sheng Ming'an felt that it was not clear just to talk, so he turned around and wrote on the whiteboard: "A new theory of conventional and unconventional superconductors is established based on the superconducting model under the coupling of local magnetic moments and itinerant electrons... "

Everyone in the room couldn't sit still at all, and took out a draft notebook to record Sheng Mingan's thoughts, as if seeing the brain circuit deduced by the genius from these numbers, words and formula calculations, as if seeing the birth of a new physical world. During the process, this feeling makes people involuntarily awe and moved, and makes people tremble, excited and worshipped.

……

Sheng Ming'an: "Any more questions?"

Everyone had just experienced an unusually intense brainstorm. At this moment, they breathed a sigh of relief. They had no doubts for the time being, but the next moment they were tense and couldn't wait to go back to digest the new knowledge, so they all got up and said goodbye.

"Old Zhang is very lucky to have accepted a wonderful student."

"Old Zhang, you are an optician. It's a pity that people stay with you. The child is obviously good at material physics, how long has he been delayed!"

"That's right! He also went to study at MIT, where he studied astrophysics, messing around and wasting people!"

"Give up, Sheng Ming'an has been an optics person all his life! Don't forget that he proposed the petawatt-level laser system plan." Zhang Qunfang waved away people, but there was a satisfied smile on his face: "Our mentor and apprentice will spend their entire lives together. The fate, don't you envy me?"

After a moment of rustling, the crowd walked out of the meeting room.

Outside the meeting room, Lan Chu caught a familiar academician of materials physics and asked, "Can the patent application be passed?"

Academician: "Why can't you pass? Not only pass, but also speed up the process, don't make people wait for a long time. Special cases are treated specially, and some time-wasting processes can be saved."

After receiving the reminder, Lan Chu: "Understood!"

In the conference room, Zhang Qunfang kept a straight face on purpose: "What's going on? No? Did you go to MIT to study astrophysics?"

Sheng Ming'an: "Take time to do something else."

Zhang Qunfang's cheeks twitched. This answer is too hated by others. He has achieved such great results by taking time out to do something else. If he concentrates on doing something, will others still want to mess with him?

"It's too cheap to be good."

Sheng Mingan rubbed his nose and smiled.

"When are you going back to MIT?"

"Tomorrow? Air ticket."

"So fast?"

"School has already started, but I ask for leave."

"Okay, study hard after returning to school, and strive to graduate early. If it were someone else, I wouldn't? Would? Ask for that, but you don't? You don't? You don't? Need to stay at MIT for four or five years. Room temperature superconducting technology is different from Laser devices, EUV, or graphene extraction technologies are not like quantum error correction, which cannot see results in the short term, and society will undergo earth-shaking changes due to its emergence."

Zhang Qunfang said earnestly: "You who have mastered this technology will attract the attention of the public, and you will also become the target of public criticism. Before the patent application is approved and made public, you'd better ensure that you are in a safe environment."

It usually takes two years to apply for an international patent. Sheng Mingan can publish relevant papers only after the preliminary examination is over. But what Zhang Qunfang means is that if he wants to continue his studies at MIT, it is best to keep it a secret that he has mastered the synthesis of room temperature superconductors. material technology.

Sheng Mingan remembered that Cecil had said that a certain physicist died accidentally because he mastered a certain core technology, so he adopted Zhang Qunfang's suggestion without much entanglement.

"Professor, don't worry, I know what to do."

Zhang Qunfang: "You've always been smart, so I'll go first."

"Professor goodbye."

Sending off Zhang Qunfang, Sheng Mingan only had one day of vacation left, and it was too late to go to the city where Chen Jingqiu was located. The latter seemed to be in the critical period of breaking through technology. Communication tools such as mobile phones and computers were temporarily controlled, and he could only report his safety every day. And? Unable to contact.

Sheng Ming'an was bored? Spend a boring? day. The next day, he got on a plane to MIT to continue his low-key and peaceful school career.

But this low-key calm did not last long.

Two weeks later, a core paper was quietly published in the main journal of PRL Weekly, which caused a sensation in the theoretical physics circle within two days.

In addition, John Bader Miller, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of new superconducting materials and is known as the "venomous tongue" and "Lafayette in the academic world of physics", publicly declared to the media: "Andre ·Heim said that "the era of new materials has come", I thought he was not rigorous enough, and he concluded that the era of new materials was coming only based on a high-quality graphene mass production technology. I would only comment on "Andre Haim Tom, are you too old to be crazy?', but now I admit, maybe he's right?"

"There is also an MIT professor who commented that 'physics in the 21st century has stagnated, and no new theories have been born', and he also said that 'this dilemma has been broken', and my response was 'May I ask if it is stagnant? 'What is the relationship between theoretical dilemmas in theoretical physics and high-yield graphene technology?'."

"But now, I have to admit that there might be a real?relationship between the two."

"Note, I said 'maybe' twice, just because I'm used to rigor, no? I'm not yet sure."

"Why did I make this change? Because a month ago, someone broke my stubbornness. If you want to know who it is, I suggest you take a look at the core main issue of PRL's latest weekly magazine."

"You'll find the answer there."

……

Who is John Bader Miller?

"Lafayette" from the field of material physics and superconducting theoretical physics, a man of a civil science scientist who was so stubborn that he once said that he was so cheeky, admitted that he had made wrong remarks, and hinted at someone .

Throughout the article, there is no direct reference to whom, but the evaluations of Andre Heim and a certain MIT professor, as well as the guidance of the core main issue of PRL's latest weekly magazine, are clear enough.

So some people found a few papers in the core main journal of PRL's latest weekly magazine, but they couldn't find anyone who met the old man's evaluation.

Just when everyone thought they were looking for the wrong one, someone anonymously gave directions: [No, it's a paper version of the weekly magazine, go to the official website to read the electronic version! 】

PRL has two ways of publishing papers: paper version and electronic version. Although the core main journals do not distinguish between good and bad, loyal fans firmly believe that the paper version of the journal has the highest gold content.

[Electronic journal papers?Suddenly the interest is not very high. 】

[Maybe, I mean maybe, the old man made a mistake. 】

[I said, don’t be misled by old fans of PRL. There is no difference between the electronic version and the paper version.

The reason is very simple, because the paper version is issued too slowly, but the paper is too good, so we choose the electronic version only when it is too late. 】

【…】

【Come back after reading it.It can only be said that the two big cows have high evaluations, but there are not many people who participated, and it is temporarily impossible to prove that the theory is correct. 】

[But if the theory is correct, I dare to predict that the whole world will boil. 】
