The man who turned the times

Chapter 561 Room Temperature Superconducting Materials
Leisure days always pass quickly.

After the Lantern Festival, Su Yang stayed in Jianghai City for a few more days.

On March 3, return to Yanjing by private plane.

Only Su Weiwei and Qiao Xiaoqi were accompanying them. As for Yu Yuejiao and Yu Yuechan, they arrived in Yanjing early in February.

After leaving the airport, Su Yang asked his sister and Xiao Qi to go back to the villa first, while he quickly came to the headquarters of Yuanyang Group by car.

In a clean and bright reception room, Su Yang shook hands with Director Xu of the Bureau of Science and Industry.

After the two exchanged polite words, Director Xu went straight to the point: "Boss Su, it's really a bit presumptuous to disturb you this time when you just returned to Yanjing, but it's urgent, so please forgive me."

"You're welcome. What's going on, Director Xu, you can tell me directly." Su Yang waved his hand to indicate that it doesn't matter.

Director Xu frowned slightly and said, "According to reports, when you were in the United States last year, Mr. Su, a Chinese man named Li Ruidong sold you a scientific research achievement. You refused, right?"

Su Yang's eyes moved, and he said with a smile: "There is such a thing, what else?"

Director Xu said: "Someone sent us news that the experiment on room temperature superconducting materials researched by Li Ruidong is about to achieve a major breakthrough."

"If there is no accident, the leading scholars who participated in this experiment can at least be nominated for the Nobel Prize, or even win the Nobel Prize directly. Of course, that will happen in the future."

Su Yang chuckled and said, "Experiment on room temperature superconducting materials? Graphene."

"Yes." Director Xu said: "It is a special kind of double-layer graphene. Graphene itself has very strong electrical conductivity, and its electron mobility is less affected by temperature changes. However, it is still far away from superconductivity." There is a certain distance, and it is still a mystery about how Li Ruidong and others realized graphene superconductivity at room temperature."

Su Yang said: "Actually, I still don't understand Director Xu, why you came to me in person, is it to make sure that I rejected Li Ruidong, or?"

Director Xu was silent for a moment, and said: "Superconducting materials have always been one of the high-end materials that countries around the world are focusing on, and room temperature superconducting is the most cutting-edge scientific research goal."

"The special graphene in Li Ruidong's laboratory is the most likely to achieve room temperature superconductivity in this century, and its importance is self-evident."

"Our people have contacted Li Ruidong, and he said that as long as you are willing to apologize to him, he can resell the relevant scientific research materials to us."

Su Yang laughed when he heard this: "What do you mean, Director Xu, that you want me to apologize to him and admit my mistake?"

Director Xu shook his head and said, "No, you, as a representative entrepreneur in China, are also the face of the country. Although Li Ruidong has Chinese blood in his bones and is Chinese emotionally, he is no longer legally."

Director Xu came to talk to Su Yang, but of course he didn't want him to apologize to Li Ruidong.

What a joke, the richest man in the world, with the face of a Chinese, actually wants to bow his head to a little-known American?
If he really did this, Director Xu could imagine that in less than half an hour, someone from the inner court would call and scold him.

Even scolding is considered good. If the situation develops seriously, it is not too much to go home directly to take care of the elderly.

Director Xu: "Right now, the materials industry in the United States is arguing very hotly. In terms of superconductivity research, they are all pursuing Li Ruidong's experimental research. What I want to know is, when you talked with Li Ruidong, Mr. Su, did you actually read it? After reading that document, what level has their research progress reached?"

Su Yang thought about it, and said: "When I read it last year, it was already close to room temperature superconductivity. Now that there is a lot of noise in the US materials industry, it means that it has been successful."

"Has it succeeded? Sigh..." Director Xu frowned. He didn't question Su Yang's speculation, and let out a sigh.

Su Yang said: "However, graphene is very difficult to prepare, especially the preparation of special graphene with superconducting properties. Even if the precision of the technology in the United States is the highest in the world, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars per gram."

"So, even if Li Ruidong and the others succeed, they can only be used in experiments, and cannot be used in the field of military defense."

"Just like the moon landing plan, although the United States was able to land on the moon decades ago, because it could not get actual benefits from the moon landing plan, huge investment, tens of billions of dollars, was thrown down. , all they got was an economic bubble, and they ended up having to stop the project for four to 50 years.”

"The same goes for special graphene with superconductivity, so don't worry too much, Director Xu."

Director Xu was silent for a while and said: "Even so, they are already far ahead of us in the field of experiments. Over the years, scholars in our country have also been researching similar projects."

"This time when someone takes the lead, the barriers to patents are established. Many years of hard work have been wasted, which greatly dampens the enthusiasm and confidence of researchers. In the future, we will be subject to others everywhere in this regard."

Director Xu said worriedly: "Although in the past two years, as your group has emerged internationally, the country has become stronger and stronger, but it is precisely because of this that Western countries are becoming more and more afraid of us."

"Now, we are on the cusp of the wind, facing all countries directly. If we are a little weak, we will be attacked by the crowd and get a lot of benefits from us."

"And the breakthrough of cutting-edge scientific research technology is a very sharp and effective knife. While making countries fearful, it can also win us enough allies."

"But once the cutting-edge technology is first mastered by the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, then..."

Su Yang smiled after listening to the important national affairs that Director Xu said, and did not comment.

Su Yang said: "Actually, Director Xu, even if the United States has mastered the special graphene with room temperature superconducting properties, I don't think it's a big deal."

Director Xu wanted to refute, but Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, just listen to me slowly..."

"Graphene is a standard nano-scale process material, and it is several times more difficult than making chips. Therefore, if the United States and other countries want to benefit from graphene, they must invest a lot of manpower, material and financial resources in research. .”

Su Yang said: "According to my guess, in the next 20 years, it is impossible to play with graphene, unless there is an unconventional technological explosion on their side."

"As for the use of cutting-edge room-temperature superconducting materials to establish a scientific and technological reputation internationally, I don't think it is reliable to rely on a person who has changed his nationality to an American."

"This is not the last century. In the last century, our country was weak, scientific research strength was insufficient, and the reserve of theoretical knowledge was even more stretched. People needed to go to Western countries to sacrifice themselves and feed back the country. The predecessors at that time were heroes and the country. pillars."

"But now, huh, huh, to put it bluntly, these people are pure xenophobic and xenophobic, and they will go where they are good. Even if they don't admit it, they are forgetting their ancestors."

"However, the development of our country in the past few years is not weak, especially in terms of business evolution. We are already ahead of the United States. Living in the United States is not necessarily better than China."

Director Xu smiled wryly and said: "You are telling the truth. The country's development over the years has indeed made us proud. But we must also recognize the reality. The gap between us and Western countries such as the United States is still huge. This is a fact that cannot be ignored. , after all, the foundation is still poor."

"Also, the problem now is that Li Ruidong has already mastered the technology of room-temperature superconducting materials, and has taken the absolute initiative in this aspect. We are very passive now..."

The corners of Su Yang's lips lifted slightly, and he said with a light smile, "Absolutely? I don't think so."
