As Lu Zhou mentioned earlier in the conference of the Institute of Computational Materials, to overcome the problem of controllable nuclear fusion, superconducting materials are always a circumstance.

And the technical breakthrough is not enough. If it can't be realized in engineering, then the great miracle can only stay in the laboratory.

Taking sg-1 material as an example, as a major breakthrough in the field of superconductivity, it has shown considerable prospects in the field of application.

However, neither domestic nor foreign, there is no experience in the production of carbon-based superconducting materials, let alone apply it to engineering and.

Therefore, for Lu Zhou, the problem to be overcome now is not only in the academic field he is good at, but also from the academic field.

Fortunately, this part of the work, he can be distributed to others to do ...

Laboratory of Materials Research Institute.

At this moment, standing in front of Lu Zhou, the chief engineer from Baosheng Group dared to act.

As a subsidiary of Huaguo Aviation Industry Group and a leading company in the field of domestic superconducting materials, Baosheng Group has cooperated with research institutes such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences to participate in major scientific research projects. As the chief engineer of the group, most of these projects are also involved.

If it is the most prominent example, it is probably the project of the Beijing Electron Collider (beslll).

How can it be difficult to say in the future, but for now, the beslll superconducting magnet still maintains the record of the largest single superconducting magnet in China.

In addition, most of the contractors of several tokamak superconducting magnets, including east, can see this company.

After consulting the Academician Pan, Lu Zhou immediately contacted the company and issued an invitation for cooperative research and development.

After learning that the unit that sent the cooperation and research intentions to itself was the Jinling Institute of Computational Materials, the Baosheng Group sent the chief engineer of its own group and gave the project the highest priority.

Even if the abelic of the Nobel Prize and the status of Luzhou in the material sciences are ignored, the $1 billion national-level large-scale scientific research project is definitely a quality project.

However, after listening to the requirements of Lu Zhou, Cao quickly realized that things were not so simple.

"The 50t superconducting magnet, you plan to use it on the imitation star, I am afraid it is not so easy."

To get a stronger electromagnetic field, junior high school students probably know what to do, just increase the number of turns of the energized solenoid.

However, although this is the case, when the magnetic field exceeds the order of 10t, it is better to achieve engineering than to reach the sky.

Lu Zhou: “Traditional materials are difficult to achieve, if new materials are used?”

Cao Gong’s eyebrows picked and picked: “Do you mean sg-1?”

Although not a member of the academic world, since he is engaged in the superconducting magnet engineering project, he is still following up on the latest research progress in the material science community.

In particular, the sg-1 showcased the results of the mrs autumn meeting, even if he did not read the relevant papers and did not go to the scene, but for its magical performance is still heard.

Lu Zhou nodded: "Yes, in fact, sg-1 is exactly what I participated in."

Hearing the words of Lu Zhou, Cao Gong’s face was surprised, but he quickly returned to normal.

He had heard of it before. The results of this research were from the Frick Chemical Laboratory in Princeton. Considering that Lu Zhou is a professor at Princeton, there is nothing to be said about participating in this research.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Gong cautiously asked: "Is there a sample of sg-1 material here?"

Lu Zhou: "Not just a sample, all kinds of experimental data can be seen here, come with me."

After all, Lu Zhou took Cao Ganwei and went to another laboratory. At the same time, he gestured to Qian Zhongming, who was waiting in front of the computer, and collected various experimental data on sg-1 materials.

Some of the laboriously read the data and charts displayed on the computer screen, the mating brows thought for a long time, and finally said.

“To tell the truth, the idea of ​​using carbon-based materials to create superconducting tracks has been heard for the first time in so many years.”

Lu Zhou smiled: "Is science not trying?"

"It is true to say this, but we are a business. Even if you say these things sound very interesting, we have to consider the actual situation." The employee rubbed his chin and stared at the material resistivity in the superconducting state. After watching the power-on time and the graph drawn by the current for a long time, the eyes finally showed an interesting look. "...It seems feasible in theory, but at the price of graphene, you have to make such a big project with the beslll project. The magnets are probably expensive."

Lu Zhou: "The cost problem does not need to be considered. Even if it costs more than one billion, it will be worthwhile if the demo demonstration can be built."

One billion dollars is only the first investment. As long as he can produce enough excellent stage results, I believe that people will be willing to pay for his research.

"Since I don't think about the cost, I think I can give it a try," said Cao Gong, paused and cautiously asked, "Can I take a few grams of samples to go back to study?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said with pleasure, "Of course, but the experimental data in the computer is not good. It involves some information that has not been published yet. You can only trouble you here."

Cao Gong said that he understood the location and nodded: "I understand."

After sending away the people from the enterprise, Lu Zhou found Yang Xu, the director of the Institute of Computational Materials.

"After the year, I am going to marry Germany."

Yang Xu: "Germany?"

"Mainly for the purpose of the imitation of the star," Lu Zhou nodded and continued, "just in time, I plan to purchase a batch of new instruments, the budget is about 100 million US dollars, I need you to list a list, put the need The equipment is written."

After that, he will expand the scale of the institute, and the related hardware must also keep up.

When I heard that it was purchasing equipment, Yang Xu’s face suddenly appeared. She smiled. “It’s a good idea, just let’s do superconducting materials research, let’s have two TEMs first.”

Although there is already one in the institute, getting two more, means that the same experiment can measure two sets of data at the same time.

Especially the TEM, a material science artifact, if the budget is enough, no one will be too much.

Lu Zhou’s eyes did not take a look at it and agreed: “Write it to me in the list.”

He paused for a moment, he continued.

"In addition, I plan to expand the number of researchers, the number is about 200. I will let Star Technology contact the relevant headhunting company, and the talent selection will be handed over to you."

Yang Xu nodded. "You can rest assured that I will strictly check. Right, what are the requirements for the threshold?"

I thought about it, Lu Zhou said.

"At least it must be a postdoc."
