CHAPTER 438: CHAPTER 437 SHOCK
This material is completely impractical; to use it, you need equipment to maintain low temperatures.
However, the superconductor material Jiang Cheng wants to research is one that can be used at normal temperature, which is known as room-temperature superconductor material.
Room-temperature superconductor material is extremely practical; it can be used in all sorts of areas—basically anywhere electricity is used.
If Jiang Cheng can research room-temperature superconductor material, it would not only significantly impact fusion reactors but also be very beneficial for him personally.
Firstly, if this material is invented, there would be no worry about the sales issue.
Just the Yan Family alone would need a lot, as various machines could use it.
As long as Jiang Cheng can manufacture it, he can sell as much as he makes, and perhaps the state would even pay to buy everything he produces.
Besides, Iron Man Armor could use it. If the wires inside were replaced with superconductor material, the armor’s performance would greatly improve.
Moreover, if Jiang Cheng manages to research it, it would be an industry only he controls.
If we’re talking about what’s most profitable, it’s monopoly that’s most lucrative.
If by then only Jiang Cheng’s company sells room-temperature superconductor material, Jiang Cheng would decide the price.
Those buyers wouldn’t have room to bargain. If you don’t want to buy, then don’t buy; it’s buy if you love or don’t!
Once he decided, Jiang Cheng immediately began his research work.
This time Jiang Cheng is ready to stay in the laboratory until he completes the room-temperature superconductor material; he’s not planning to leave until then.
That’s just the type of person Jiang Cheng is; once he sets his mind on something, he won’t rest until it’s completed.
Room-temperature superconductor material isn’t something that can be easily created.
If it were simple, it would have been invented long ago. You should know that quite a few people are conducting research in superconductivity.
Each year, considerable manpower and funding are invested, yet there’s no real breakthrough.
However, this issue isn’t a problem for Jiang Cheng because he doesn’t need to invent it.
He knows the complete process for room-temperature superconductor material; he just needs to reproduce it in the lab.
In Jiang Cheng’s previous life, room-temperature superconductor material was already a commonplace material, having generally replaced traditional conductors.
Now Jiang Cheng only needs to bring out the technology, and with current conditions, it can be realized, and even mass production is doable.
This room-temperature superconductor material is quite a peculiar material, essentially an organic metal substance.
Though it has structures and characteristics of organic materials, in essence, it’s a metallic substance.
Overall, it’s a fusion of organic matter and metal, a very magical material.
It seems contradictory and defies common sense, yet it truly exists.
This material’s contradictory nature is why it hasn’t yet been produced on Earth.
In Jiang Cheng’s previous life, it was discovered accidentally by a scientist; if Jiang Cheng himself were researching it, he could hardly figure it out.
Jiang Cheng isolated himself in the lab, even having the sisters deliver meals to him.
After a few days of continuous work, he finally successfully created room-temperature superconductor material. If it were simply making some samples, it wouldn’t take Jiang Cheng that much time considering it’s a material with uncomplicated manufacturing conditions.
But this time Jiang Cheng didn’t just create some samples; he also organized the entire process flow.
Lab samples and industrial manufacturing have a huge difference, notably in lower costs and greater production.
The process flow Jiang Cheng presented is a very mature technology. Just acquire a few existing factories, update some equipment, and mass production can start.
This is quite rare. Generally, after discovering a new material, it takes a long time before mass production. Even a decade later, large-scale production is common.
Solely due to industrial production processes not being mature enough; however, Jiang Cheng nicely solved this problem with his ready-to-use technology.
The room-temperature superconductor material Jiang Cheng brought out was known as Organic Metal Conductor in his past life, but in this life, it doesn’t have a name yet.
However, this time Jiang Cheng didn’t bother to think of a new name; he simply stuck with Organic Metal Conductor, which he’s more accustomed to.
After finishing everything, Jiang Cheng tidied up and left the lab.
This time Jiang Cheng also wrote a paper, documenting the experiment’s thoughts and direction, planning to use it to further boost his reputation.
To Jiang Cheng currently, money is just a number; prestige among the populace and recognition from the elite are what matter most to him.
Furthermore, the paper doesn’t include specific production processes—only analysis and experiments on the material; publishing it wouldn’t reveal his secrets.
Others wouldn’t possibly discover methods for producing Organic Metal Conductor from the paper, and Jiang Cheng can use this material to make a substantial profit.
After leaving the lab, Jiang Cheng first sent the paper to the magazine "Science."
However, this time he didn’t greet the editors or use his power as the owner to have them directly publish it.
This paper doesn’t have any contentious points; it’s a significant scientific discovery.
Anyone with insight could see the correctness of the paper; no one could doubt it.
The paper includes extensive experimental data and numerous test results, indicating it’s a rigorous work.
Unlike the last paper which was mere conjecture, this time there is an actual product; Organic Metal Conductor is a world-changing material that cannot be fabricated.
The paper’s validity is something people would only need to wait for Jiang Cheng to produce the Organic Metal Conductor; no effort is needed to verify the correctness of the paper.
Soon, the headquarters of "Science" magazine received Jiang Cheng’s paper. Just seeing the title shocked them.
Because Jiang Cheng’s paper title was very straightforward, "On the Properties and Test Data of a New Room-Temperature Superconductor Material, Organic Metal Conductor."
A simple title like this allows even those without scientific knowledge to recognize the paper deals with new room-temperature superconductor material.
What amazed the editors wasn’t the paper’s title, but the implication behind it.
This epoch-making endeavor has been researched by Jiang Cheng, astonishing them to the extreme.
The issue of room-temperature superconductor material has troubled humanity for many years, yet it has never been resolved.
