I am devoted to scientific research, but you want to trick me into having a love relationship?

Chapter 592 You kid, are you deliberately teasing this old man?
graduate School.

Inside the office on the sixth floor.

The elderly man with graying temples stared wide-eyed at the documents in his hand, wondering if he was getting old and his eyesight was failing him.

He had originally suggested that the two project teams could exchange ideas. Although they didn't have much successful experience, their failures were still valuable, and they might be able to reduce Xu Qingzhou's trial-and-error costs.

But Jc ≥ 4.0 × 10 A/cm!?

Xu Qingzhou nodded and said, "Yes, this is the experimental data from a week ago. The latest data hasn't been compiled yet."

He took a sip of tea. "Actually, this data is not ideal. We are still conducting iterative experiments. For top-notch superconducting thin films, adjusting any variable means that the entire experiment has to be restarted. It's a matter of affecting everything."

"."

Xiao Chenghan's lips twitched. He had been doing research for decades and had experienced a lot of things, big and small. He thought he had a good enough mentality, but when he heard Xu Qingzhou's words, he still wanted to complain: You kid are deliberately teasing this old man, aren't you?
Both are 4×10 A/cm, and you still call that unsatisfactory?

"As far as I know, you have only been conducting experiments for a month and a half."

Xiao Chenghan flipped through the materials, still finding it hard to believe, "Upgrade the data to 4×10 A/cm now?"

"Yes."

Xu Qingzhou said in a deep voice, "The reason I said the data was not ideal was not to deliberately provoke you, but because we expect Jc≥5.0×10A/cm."

Upon seeing this estimated data, Xiao Chenghan took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and sighed, "Unbelievable! It far surpasses the current international top level, no, it can even be described as a revolution in materials..."

"Can I go to the lab?"

Xiao Chenghan couldn't wait to see the samples.

If the thin film possesses resistance to high-temperature plasma erosion (>1500℃) and neutron irradiation (>10 n/m), it will replace existing tungsten-copper composite materials.

The completion date of the nuclear fusion experimental reactor might be shortened by several years!

"of course can."

Xu Qingzhou smiled and nodded, then got up and led Xiao Chenghan toward Experiment Building No. 4.

The offices of the superconducting thin film experimental group are located here.

When they entered, Li Yi was looking down at the equipment in the laboratory, checking its operation.

"Professor Xu."

Li Yi stood up to greet them, then looked at Xiao Chenghan next to Xu Qingzhou with a puzzled expression.

"This is Professor Xiao Chenghan from the Institute of Plasma Physics. He's here to take a look at the samples of superconducting thin films. This is Li Yi, the head of the superconducting thin film group."

Xu Qingzhou introduced the two individuals' identities.

"Hello, Professor Xiao Chenghan."

Li Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly greeted the senior. The Institute of Plasma Physics? Isn't that the big shot who's working on China's own nuclear fusion project?
"Hello, hello, where is everyone else in the lab?"

Xiao Chenghan glanced at the laboratory with a puzzled look; Li Yi was the only person in the huge office.

Li Yi said, "Another one is currently conducting characterization tests on the two latest sets of samples, and I'm the only one here for now."

Xiao Chenghan paused, his expression somewhat taken aback: "You mean, there are only the two of you in the entire lab?"

"Ah."

Li Yi nodded.

"."

Xiao Chenghan found himself being challenged several times in this newly established research institute. Looking through the glass at the complex equipment inside, he couldn't help but sigh, "The younger generation is truly formidable. Just two people have managed to support a top-tier international research project."

Li Yi said apologetically, "You flatter me. We just followed the professor's plan and didn't put in much effort." "So modest, but our contribution was so great. Then your future bonuses are mine."

Xu Qingzhou said with a smile.

Li Yi chuckled: "No, please don't, I'm just telling the truth."

This is indeed the case.

Professor Xu handled all the experimental plans and new experimental techniques; he practically broke things down and fed them the solutions.

The three changed their clothes and entered the laboratory.

"These are the samples from the previous round of experiments."

肖承翰望着样品盒子里长5-10 cm、宽4-12 mm、厚1-3μm的带材，在看着样品上标记的数据，时不时地点头。

After visiting the laboratory, Li Yi checked the equipment's operation inside, while Xu Qingzhou and Xiao Chenghan returned to their office.

Xu Qingzhou pulled up the data inside: "You can look at the data here as you like, but since it hasn't been released yet, you can't take it away."

"Understand, understand."

Xiao Chenghan rubbed his hands together, his eyes shining, as if he had seen a stunning beauty. No, for a researcher, this thing was far more attractive than a beautiful woman.

Xiao Chenghan scanned the experimental data. "Incredible! How did you manage to do that?"

Xu Qingzhou briefly explained the technology used: "We made some modifications to the previous superconducting thin film. Referring to the design concept of pursuing stability in the extreme environment of the moon, we used ion implantation technology to generate a controllable cavity array. Simply put, we pre-implanted He ion irradiation-induced nanocavities in the superconducting thin film, and captured irradiation defects and dynamically repaired the lattice through the cavities."

"Moon landing technology? You also know about aerospace engineering?"

"I've done some research on it."

"But how did you create the cavity array? That must be a big question."

"We will use molecular dynamics simulations to verify the cavity's efficiency in capturing defects."

At 11 a.m., Xu Qingzhou and Xiao Chenghan returned to the office.

“I take back what I said before. Perhaps in less than 10 years, the Kyoto Institute for Materials Science will be world-renowned within 5 years.”

Xiao Chenghan was lavish in his praise.

"hope so."

Xu Qingzhou wasn't particularly proud; the research institute still lagged behind the top laboratories.

Xiao Chenghan took a sip of tea, his expression becoming slightly more serious, and said, "Professor Xu, I won't bother with formalities. I have a favor to ask of you today."

"You say."

"Actually, my visit here today also represents the official position to some extent. If possible, we hope that you can temporarily retain this technology. At the very least, we should wait until the localization rate reaches the standard before evaluating foreign-related licenses, so as to ensure that we have a 3-5 year period of technological monopoly."

Xiao Chenghan said solemnly, "Although we have broken through some of the blockades through independent innovation and international cooperation, we still face foreign constraints in key areas. Superconducting thin films will be a trump card."

Xu Qingzhou said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, my cooperation with GE does not involve subsequent technological improvements, because we will retain the technology."

He could understand Xiao Chenghan's concerns. Once foreign countries establish patent barriers for technology, new research and development will have to bypass the patents or pay high licensing fees. It might take Xia Guo another 10 years, or even several decades, to catch up.

"The government will not take advantage of you for nothing. The government will purchase the goods according to the market price. If you need it, it will also provide support in other areas."

Xiao Chenghan gave Xu Qingzhou a guarantee.

Xu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm very relieved about that. The successful construction and launch of the research institute wouldn't have been possible without official support."
