Chapter 526 Global Infrastructure, Room-Temperature Superconducting Materials Are Introduced!

After finding the answer in history books, Hideki Kamioka immediately convened a cabinet meeting and passed the vote with a unanimous vote.

In the following half a month, a large number of unemployed workers from the bottom of the island countries were sent to Brazil to build a new Great Japanese Empire.

The "Great Infrastructure Plan" can not only provide a large number of jobs, but also open up new territory for the island countries.

You know, the island countries did not buy Brazilian land for free. They actually have an "Immigration Plan" internally.

Because of the greenhouse effect and the melting of glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic, the sea level actually rises by a certain amount every year.

According to the research of Li Mo, a famous marine geologist in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, the ocean rises by about 2.63 mm every year.

The increase of 2.63 mm seems small, but decimals cannot withstand accumulation.

It's like a 1-cent coin. According to the current price, even if it falls, you are too lazy to bend down to pick it up because the purchasing power is too low. But what if 1.3 billion people collectively give you a 1-cent coin?

1.3 billion 1-cent coins, that's a full 130 million yuan, enough for an ordinary person to cross the class instantly.

It is precisely because the sea level is rising every year that the concepts of environmental protection and low carbon are becoming more and more important.

The island country's own marine geologists have also made an analysis. Unlike the 2.63 mm in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the sea level rise in the island country is 6.444 cm per year.

Sharing the same ocean, why is there such a big difference in the sea level rise data between the two?

It's very simple, because the island country is in an earthquake zone, it not only has to face rising sea levels, but also has to deal with the decline caused by crustal movement.

Those who are familiar with geography know that earthquakes are actually a kind of crustal movement.

And earthquakes are roughly that the underground rock layers will deform when they are subjected to force. When the force is so great that the rock layers cannot bear it, sudden and rapid ruptures will occur. The vibrations generated by the rupture of the rock layers are transmitted to the surface, causing vibrations on the surface, forming earthquakes.

When an earthquake occurs, seismic waves propagate in the crust, exerting a strong impact on the rock layers, causing the rock layers to deform, rupture, and even displace, which will cause the ground to sink.

In summary, frequent earthquakes will cause the island country to sink, and the greenhouse effect will cause the sea level to rise, which is why the island country urgently needs to "move".

...

The large-scale immigration of island people, coupled with the implementation of the "Big Infrastructure Plan", has made many Brazilians anxious.

Why are they anxious?

Just look at Palestine.

There was once a ship of Jewish refugees, but now it has grown to a population of nearly 10 million. It has also driven the Palestinians who kindly accepted them to the most barren areas, and they have the fertile areas to themselves.

The historical cycle cannot be violated or confronted. Anything that happens in modern times can be found in history books.

The lesson Israel taught Palestine also made countries around the world unwilling to accept refugees, because no one knows whether these refugees will eventually occupy the magpie's nest.

In a Gulf War, the United States woke up the world and laid the foundation for the modern war model.

A ship of Jewish refugees also woke up the world, making all countries wary of refugees.

In the Brazilian exclusive section of TikTok, a large number of bloggers mentioned "island country immigration" and big infrastructure, which aroused countless discussions.

[Sam Becker]: "This is the worst news I have heard this year. The islanders are collectively immigrating to our country. They don't want to imitate Israel to establish a country overseas, right?"

[Augustus Brown]: "Don't say it, they may really establish a country overseas. Their original land is too barren."

[Xavier Martin]: "We must resist their further immigration, otherwise the fate of Palestine will be our future!"

The comments are all the same, all boycott.

No nation wants foreign nations to enter their own land, even if the land has been sold, but ordinary people don't care about this. They don't want to become the next Palestine.

After countless Brazilian bloggers posted videos and called on the public to resist immigration, the entry "Large number of immigrants from island countries" was listed on TikTok's global hot search list.

Because TikTok faces countries around the world, it has made several classified pages.

The homepage is the global hot videos, and the right swipe is the regional hot videos. A country is a region, and the content is also relatively regionalized.

The same is true for the ranking list. There are Brazilian lists, island country lists, German lists, etc., but the most valuable is the global list.

The global hot search list represents the global TikTok users, and what they are collectively paying attention to.

The entry "Large numbers of immigrants from island countries" has made netizens around the world wonder whether Brazil will become the next Palestine.

Among the countless Brazilian netizens' condemnation comments, many island immigrants and local island netizens have posted protest comments.

[Kenta Furukawa]: "We are different from Israel. They occupied the land with the Bible, but we bought it with real money. This is our territory!"

[Koji Shindo]: "Don't confuse purchase with occupation. Your country has received our money. This is no longer Brazil's land, but our Great Japanese Empire!"

[Masahiro Takeuchi]: "The Jews occupied it, and we bought it. Please stop the groundless accusations and abuse, because this is the territory of the Great Japanese Empire recognized by the United Nations!"

As the island netizens argued with reason, many Brazilian netizens who were led by the rhythm began to shift their targets and questioned why their own senior officials wanted to sell national land.

However, no one responded to them.

Buying and selling land may sound unreliable, but it is actually legal and compliant.

For example, Alaska in the United States is the largest enclave in the world and was once the territory of woolly bears.

Due to the failure of the Crimean War, the Bear's treasury was in deficit and could no longer provide financial support for Alaska's construction.

And because Alaska borders Canada, and Canada was full of colonial forces from the British Kingdom at that time, Mao Xiong was unable to fight anymore, so he had no choice but to sell Alaska to avoid losing both land and wealth.

It was precisely because of the combination of various factors that the United States finally purchased Alaska, which also opened the door to land transactions.

When netizens around the world who didn't know the truth saw the rebuttal comments from the people of the island country, they immediately chose to continue to wait and see, because at present, it seems that people can indeed immigrate legally, because Brazil has sold land to the island country.

The large number of immigrants from the island country and the implementation of the "Infrastructure Plan" made Wang Shan couldn't help but admire him in the imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.

"Work-for-relief provides a large number of low-level jobs. Island countries should not underestimate it. Their decision-makers are still forward-looking."

"It's probably those old guys who thought about their retreat more than ten years in advance." The skinny old man next to Wang Shan responded calmly.

Ever since the island country bought its first piece of Brazilian land, he had a vague idea of ​​what the island country would do in the future.

The current island nation not only lacks resources, but is also close to the Dragon Kingdom, so its development space is quite limited. If it wants to make further economic progress, it can only seek other safe areas.

For national decision-makers, they not only need to solve the immediate dilemma, but also plan for the next few decades.

If a person can only see the present and cannot predict future trends, then he is not suitable to be a macro-level decision-maker.

"That guy Chen Xing has wasted his efforts. He was still thinking of using the unemployed population to force the opponent to submit. I didn't expect that the island country had another trick."

The skinny old man said again in a deep voice.

They all thought they were one step away, but they didn't expect that the island country had a back-up plan and could directly use Brazilian land development to resettle the unemployed.

Once the unemployed population is eliminated and guaranteed jobs are provided, the impact of Chen Xing's dismantling of the Toyota Group will be infinitely reduced.

This is like the large infrastructure of Dragon Kingdom, which is divided into two times.

The first time was after the Asian financial crisis in 1997, when highways were constructed across the country, providing a large number of jobs.

The second time was the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008. In order to stimulate employment and the economy, high-speed rail, airports and subways became the protagonists this time.

The impact of the two economic crises and the difficulty in finding employment for the lower class population have been perfectly solved by large-scale infrastructure construction.

The island country’s major infrastructure construction this time can also provide a large number of guaranteed jobs for unemployed Toyota Group workers, and can also promote the island country’s future immigration plan, killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Shan nodded slightly and said in agreement: "Large-scale infrastructure construction can only temporarily alleviate the unemployment rate. Next, the island countries need to find a guarantee industry to replace the automobile manufacturing industry. I think they are just dying."

"Unless hydrogen energy vehicles come out, we will always be at the head of the pack."

The skinny old man answered.

"Toyota Group, which is one step ahead in hydrogen energy, has been taken over by Chen Xing. I don't think they will continue to have their own way."

Wang Shan paused for half a second and then continued: "They may explore new areas and make them a pillar industry of the economy."

“Which field do you think is most possible?”

the skinny old man asked.

Wang Shan thought for a few seconds and gave his answer: "Education, medical care, maybe even finance."

"That's not the United States..."

Before the skinny old man could finish speaking, Wang Shan ruthlessly interrupted: "The United States has lost its momentum. Its foundation is too loose now, and I can clearly feel that they want to redevelop basic industries to make up for the backwardness caused by globalization."

After the Mao Xiong disintegration in 1991, the United States had absolute say.

The original intention of the globalized trade it has launched is to get countries around the world to work for it and make the United States a "kingdom of heaven."

This was indeed done at first. Countries with abundant labor provided them with a large number of cheap commodities, and countries with abundant land resources provided them with low-price mineral resources. As for the developed countries in Europe, their funds were used to build the world's unique industrial complex for the United States. financial trading system.

For a long time in the past, the United States could be said to have dominated the world.

But there is an idiom in the Dragon Kingdom, which is "luckily miss Shu".

What's the meaning?

The United States enjoys the benefits of globalization, and potential crises are covered up by the booming economy. They are not aware of the impact that the collective unemployment of bottom workers will have on the basic industries of the United States.

Take infrastructure as an example. The United States used to be the world's authority.

What now?

Longguo Infrastructure Team is No. 1 in the world!

Another example is high-precision equipment. Germany and island countries are far ahead of the United States, and the distance is getting further and further away.

Globalization can indeed allow the United States to enjoy global resources, but this comes at a price, that is, other countries have gradually established technical barriers, but the United States is completely unaware of it and is still immersed in the joy of "fake prosperity."

This can actually explain why the United States' military strength has declined instead of increasing, because their industrial base has deteriorated, and breakthroughs in the military industry require strong industrial support.

In one sentence, the U.S. military industry is still resting on its laurels.

When the skinny old man heard Wang Shan say that the United States was going to redevelop its basic industries, his eyes flashed with fear and he said, "Then we have to speed up our pace and not let them lead for decades."

"The R&D costs have increased by 50%, and now it's a race against time."

Wang Shan has resigned himself to fate.

They don't want the United States to restart its industry, because the United States, which was once industrially powerful, has built Apache attack helicopters, B2 bombers, F22 Raptor fighters, and various types of naval warships and aircraft carriers, making the world see no hope of winning against it.

After the Gulf War, some military scholars even proposed that without using nuclear weapons, the United States could beat the coalition forces of all countries in the world.

Now that the basic industries of the United States have become weak, no country wants it to develop again.

……

In the following half a month, the entry "Island Country Immigration" continued to be on the global hot search, and it has been on the screen for a full month.

Some people think that the island country is a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest, and the Brazilian people should be careful.

Some people think that the island country is legally immigrating, and the Brazilian people should not resist.

At the national level, in the current downward trend of the economy, many countries have followed suit and restarted their infrastructure plans by using large-scale infrastructure to create grassroots jobs and delay the appearance of economic recession.

Now they have to consider not the future maintenance costs of infrastructure, but solving the employment problem.

Once the number of unemployed people soars, the crime rate will soar.

Don't think it's alarmist. Once people can't make money and can't guarantee their basic food needs, the wildness buried in their genes will be completely revealed.

This is similar to the "flour" personnel. After having no money to buy "flour", men burn, kill and loot, and women sell their bodies, and this is the result of the demand being magnified countless times.

Faced with the soaring unemployment rate and signs of deflation in the economy, Britain decided to fund the reconstruction of the London Underground Station.

Anyone who has worked in the London Underground knows that TV dramas still beautify it too much.

Not only is it dirty and messy inside, the seat cushions have been patinaed. If you lick the seat cushions, it is no less than drinking a mouthful of Ganges water.

As Britain restarts infrastructure, many European countries are following suit.

In the context of economic downturn and capital collectively pouring into Dragon Country, they must ensure employment for the lower-class population.

As for the United States, where "shootings are every day", it has also begun to rebuild subway stations and highways, and has passed a bill that robbery of no more than $950 is a minor crime and will not be imprisoned.

On the day the bill was passed, not many people paid attention at first.

But as black people with black skin and holding the truth swaggered into supermarkets or luxury stores, took away goods worth about $900, and opened the "roadside black market", everyone suddenly realized that it was still possible to play like this.

For a while.

The lower-class blacks began to "start their own businesses".

As for the robbed stores, they have insurance claims, so there is no need to panic.

When the clerk sees the "entrepreneurial blacks" with the right skin color, the right headgear, and the right weapons, they will also guide the direction of luxury goods.

Behind the seemingly magical, it provides "unusual" jobs for the lower-class blacks, making them no longer restless.

In this short month, the whole world seems to have reached a tacit understanding, that is, to do their best to appease the grassroots people.

While appeasing the grassroots people, countries are seeking new ways out.

…

Shenzhen City, Longguo.

Longxing Group Bantian Base.

In the room-temperature superconducting laboratory, Gu Ren was concentrating on fiddling with the materials in front of him.

Heating, refining, purification, doping, and secondary refining, just the initial synthesis of the materials took him more than a month.

"The last step, add cuprous phosphide crystal powder."

Gu Ren did not dare to slack off, even though this step had been simulated in his mind tens of thousands of times.

He held his breath, mixed the preliminary synthesized powder with cuprous phosphide crystal powder in a 1:1 molar ratio, and put the mixed powder into a vacuum sealed tube and into the heating instrument.

"Ding ding ding——"

1000 degrees, heating for 12 hours.

After completing the settings, Gu Ren walked to the experimental table, on which were dozens of superconducting material wastes of various sizes.

It was said to be waste, but it was not waste, it just did not meet his requirements.

What Gu Ren wants to do is to synthesize room-temperature superconducting materials, not low-temperature superconducting materials or high-temperature superconducting materials.

What is room temperature?

Room-temperature superconducting is also called room-temperature superconducting. The temperature boundary is about -10 degrees to 35 degrees, which is also a common temperature in nature and lasts for a long time.

After putting the waste into the storage box, Gu Ren returned to his workstation and sorted out the synthesis formula this time. This is also the first time he has used cuprous phosphide crystal powder to synthesize superconducting materials.

"40% lead monoxide and 60% lead sulfate powder are evenly mixed and heated in a ceramic crucible at 725 degrees Celsius for 24 hours to produce Lanark ore."

"Then copper and phosphorus are mixed in a ratio of three to one and heated to 550 degrees Celsius in a quartz vacuum tube with a vacuum degree of 10 to the negative power of 3 for 48 hours to obtain cuprous phosphide."

"Lanark ore and cuprous phosphide are mixed and sealed in a quartz vacuum tube and heated at 1000 degrees Celsius for 12 hours. The chemical formula is Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O."

Gu Ren was typing away on the keyboard, outputting the experimental data to the computer for storage.

"The stress generated by Cu replacing Pb is transmitted to the interface of the columnar structure, forming a quantum well structure, and finally revealing superconducting properties."

"In theory, the addition of new materials can increase the superconducting temperature threshold, but I don't know whether it can reach room temperature."

Gu Ren muttered to himself.

12 hours passed quickly.

With a "ding" sound, the red warning light of the heating equipment went out.

Gu Ren looked at the documents that had not been sorted out yet, and simply sorted them out first, and waited for the temperature of the equipment to drop.

Another 2 hours passed, and he hadn't closed his eyes for almost a day and a night.

He didn't feel sleepy because of this, on the contrary, he became more and more energetic.

For scientific researchers, scientific research with a direction is extremely exciting, and Gu Ren just found the direction.

When the last word was typed, he immediately clicked to save the document and adjusted the access permission to the highest level.

After doing all this, he put on heat-insulating gloves and turned on the heating equipment. After a long period of cooling, the temperature inside had dropped a lot, but he didn't dare to take it lightly and took out the sealed test tube carefully.

Then, Gu Ren came to the experimental table, opened the sealed vacuum tube, and poured out the contents.

"Black crystal block."

He took off his gloves, picked up the paper and pen next to him and quickly recorded: "Copper phosphide crystal mixed superconducting material, about 2cm long, about 1cm wide, and 5mm thick."

Recording completed.

He began to test the tools.

PPMS resistance test.

"Zero!"

When the test result showed zero, Gu Ren was visibly shocked, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

It worked?

It's that simple?

Materials science is actually very metaphysical, and scientific research is actually full of drama.

Take graphene for example. Who would have thought that the world's toughest, thinnest, and thinnest two-dimensional material was torn off by tape?

But it was the graphene torn off by tape that won the Nobel Prize in Physics for American professors Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov.

This Nobel Prize in Physics is also known as the closest thing to the Nobel Prize for ordinary people.

Because tape can be found everywhere and graphite is not rare, it is the combination of these two things that won the Nobel Prize.

For the sake of safety, Gu Renqiang suppressed his excitement and continued to test.

AC magnetization test.

Passed!

Temperature variable test.

Pressure test

All passed perfectly!

Whether in pressure, temperature, magnetization, or external current environment, this cuprous phosphide crystal superconducting material maintains the Cooper pair effect.

What is the Cooper pair effect?

It is a theory of quantum physics proposed by American scientist Cooper. Specifically, it refers to the fact that among the many electrons that can move freely in the crystal, there will always be some that are together due to appropriate lattice deformation to form a relatively stable pair of electrons.

The two electrons that form the Cooper pair, one spins up and the other spins down, have an attraction between the two electrons through the exchange of phonons. Due to this attraction, the electrons near the Fermi surface combine in pairs to form the so-called "Cooper pair".

The formation of "Cooper pairs" will cause the energy of electrons to drop below the energy of normal Fermi distribution, and a single energy level will appear. The interval between this single energy level and the continuous energy level is called the energy gap of the superconductor.

Of course.

The electrons in the Cooper pair may not be tightly together, but a long-range pairing, and the paired electrons may be hundreds of nanometers apart.

But what is certain is that the emergence of the Cooper pair effect proves that it is a superconducting material, and the current temperature proves that it has a superconducting energy gap at room temperature.

"Success!"

"I succeeded!!!"

Gu Ren was so excited that his hands trembled.

He wanted to find someone to share, but because the superconducting experiment was top-secret, he declined all assistants, and everything was done by him alone. At this time, no one in the laboratory could share this hard-won joy with him.

But he did not hesitate at all, and immediately re-sealed the cuprous phosphide crystal superconducting material and walked straight out the door with it.

Room-temperature superconducting materials, this is not only a code to change the world, but also a theoretical prerequisite for controlled nuclear fusion. (End of this chapter)
