Chapter 128

"Prometheus who stole fire."

“This is the holy grail of the new century.”

"Is this the destiny of our country? This technology was discovered by China and will usher in a new era."

The young researchers of Guangjia Aerospace surrounded the small superconductor. Everyone looked at it with fascination in their eyes, their hearts were surging, and thousands of thoughts flashed through their minds.

As the hottest scientific research topic recently, discussions about LK99 are endless on the Internet. Chen Yuanguang can be regarded as a wave in this Internet wave, and many discussions revolve around Chen Yuanguang and LK99.

The researchers at Guangjia Aerospace had seen a lot of related news while surfing the Internet. When they saw that people were arguing about whether their boss was qualified or not, even over such a stupid question, they wanted to write an answer, saying that the God of Light was leading them in conducting research related to LK99 and that there would be results soon.

If it weren't for Guangjia Aerospace's strict confidentiality agreement, they would have given up long ago.

These researchers looked at the superconductor with obsession and at their boss with admiration.

Chen Yuanguang got goosebumps when he saw it.

Chen Yuanguang was also very excited because this was a superconductor he had created with his own hands. Although it had no practical value and the superconductor created along this technical route could not be used on a large scale, it was still a superconductor after all.

You made a delicious dish according to the recipe. Although it can't compare with the real Manchu Han banquet, it tastes good and is enough to bring you great satisfaction.

This is what Chen Yuanguang is thinking now. In his own territory, surrounded by his employees, under his leadership, he has used primitive means to create the first truly room-temperature superconductor in human history.

Chen Yuanguang clapped his hands:
"Okay, everyone, wake up. Zhou Xin, you prepare yourself and write a review. I will contact Nature and Science to publish a special issue to let the world know that we have developed room-temperature superconductivity. The cover of the special issue will be this thing. In addition, we welcome scholars from all over the world to come and see our prepared room-temperature superconductors.

We can’t give you samples, but they can come to visit and test. We can ask them to make an appointment on the official website of Guangjia Aerospace.”

After Chen Yuanguang made the arrangements, all the researchers at Guangjia Aerospace started to move.

Because this result was so amazing, an employee of Light Armor Aerospace anonymously replied to LK99's question that night:

"I am an employee of a domestic scientific research institution. I am busy all day and night. I finally have some time to go home, but I find that I can't sleep at night. Let me reassure you that we have made a breakthrough in the research and development of room-temperature superconductors. It will be announced this month. It is definitely a result that will shock the world. If you don't, you will be beheaded.

Everyone, listen to the dragon's roar!"

"Listen to the dragon's roar" is an old meme on Zhihu. Ever since semiconductors have been stuck in various bottlenecks, this answer has often appeared under questions such as "when will the lithography machine be developed?"

Anonymous answers such as "there will be a breakthrough this year, just wait and see, if there is no progress, come and bring your heads to see me" added a touch of black humor to the serious atmosphere.

Netizens who saw this anonymous answer did not take it seriously. They thought there was a breakthrough without any information at all. And the authenticity of this answer dropped by 99% after the dragon's roar came out.

The popularity of LK99 is almost over. Zhu Jingwu, a famous physicist and senior scholar in superconductor research, published a paper on LK99.

His paper is consistent with the views expressed by Chen Yuanguang on Weibo, that the Cu99S in LK2 causes a series of special phenomena and is not a superconductor.

Even LK99's most staunch supporters have been shaken. There has been no progress, and suddenly an anonymous person comes out saying there is a breakthrough. Everyone is just laughing at the joke.

That evening, Chen Yuanguang posted a video on Weibo with a message:

"Guangjia Aerospace's room-temperature superconductor, everyone is welcome to taste it."

The video shows the room-temperature superconductor prepared by Guangjia Aerospace, which is completely suspended in the air under the magnet. This superconductor is about the size of a fingernail and is in the shape of a rectangular sheet.

After this Weibo post was published, Weibo exploded. In just ten minutes, "Chen Yuanguang Room-Temperature Superconductor" was pushed to the top of the hot search list, with tens of millions of searches.

The enthusiasm of netizens was ignited all at once. They originally thought that room-temperature superconductivity was out of the question, but now the real thing has come out.

Under Chen Yuanguang's Weibo, all the comments are the same:

"God of Light" followed by an expression of worship.

Compared with the unknown Korean, Chen Yuanguang's academic reputation and prestige are much higher.

Chen Yuanguang first became famous for publishing in Nature, where he pioneered a new direction in the biomedicine field: targeted vaccine-induced viral evolution, and established a new sub-field of virology.

He is considered one of the founders in this field.

In the field of materials science, he developed a computational chemistry research framework for small molecule compounds, led the large-scale application of perovskite batteries, and promoted the development of perovskite batteries from the laboratory to the factory.

With expertise spanning the two major fields of biology and chemistry, he is one of the favorites for the Nobel Prize every year. The outside world generally believes that it is only a matter of time before he wins the Nobel Prize, especially Chinese netizens.

So many people believe in the room-temperature superconductivity discovered by the Koreans, and even more people believe in what Chen Yuanguang discovered. The credibility is more than 100%.

After Chen Yuanguang posted the Weibo that evening, his phone flooded with calls.

"Hey, Yuanguang, is what you said on Weibo about room-temperature superconductivity true?" The dean of the School of Chemistry at Jiangnan University has his private phone number, but he would not call him unless necessary.

"It's true. We will publish a review in Nature and Science later. The actual objects are in our laboratory in Pengcheng. We will invite scholars from all over the world to visit and conduct experiments." said Chen Yuanguang.

After confirming with him over the phone, the Chinese authorities organized a team of experts to rush to Pengcheng overnight.

After Chen Yuanguang finished speaking, he heard applause from the other end of the phone. He could tell how loud the applause was even through the phone.

"Jiangnan University is lucky, and the country is lucky!" The dean's voice was full of emotion, "Yuan Guang, well done, it is our honor to have you in the School of Chemistry of Jiangnan University, I will not bother you anymore.

There will definitely be a lot of people coming to you at this time."

Chen Yuanguang nodded silently, as if recalling the days when he was studying at Jiangda University. "I guess when I die, Jiangda University will also build a statue of me in the school."

The answer of the question "Listen to the Dragon's Roar" on Zhihu was screenshotted by a Weibo celebrity:

"This was revealed anonymously by a staff member of Guangjia Aerospace on Zhihu."

Immediately, netizens found this answer and commented crazily:
"Urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent, urgent"

"Can you please tell me what happened? The God of Light just posted a video and said nothing."

“Is it room-temperature superconducting?”

"You didn't invite me to the party, did you?"

"If the answerer makes a lot of money, he can participate in this project."

"Can you tell me the details? It's urgent. If I don't get the latest news, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

In just half an hour, this anonymous answer received over 100,000 likes and over 10,000 comments.

The answerer is a student from a university in China. He answered this way just to make a joke, but he didn't expect that his answer would coincide with Chen Yuanguang's announcement.

He picked up his phone in the library and saw that there were more than 99 comments and likes on Zhihu. He thought, is it so effective to use memes? It seems that he needs to use more memes.

He clicked on the message and planned to find a few appropriate replies. This role-playing game is really interesting, and it feels like fooling a fool. But he saw that all the comments were about Chen Yuanguang. He clicked on Weibo and saw that all the bloggers he followed were discussing the same topic, the video posted by Chen Yuanguang.

He turned on the video and saw a dark substance suspended in the air for a full five minutes.

"Clap!"

He came to his senses and realized that he had just finished watching the video and his phone fell on the table because he didn't hold it firmly. He then realized that it was no wonder that the library was half empty today compared to usual. Everyone was probably checking Weibo and had no mind to study.

"Now I really hear the dragon's roar!" he thought to himself, "I am really lucky."

"Fuck, I'm quite good at talking."

He stood up and put his schoolbag on the table, then put the books in it casually, put it on his back and walked out, holding his phone and replying:
"I said, listen to the dragon's roar"

“An absolute breakthrough”

"I have been busy with room-temperature superconductivity recently."

"The God of Light did it, I was just helping him out."

“It took a lot of experiments to make it.”

Duan Zhizhong received a call from Wang Kuang while he was having dinner with his friends: "Zhizhong, did you see the Weibo post Chen Yuanguang just posted?"

Duan Zhizhong was a little puzzled. We invested in Guangjia Aerospace. Should I keep an eye on his Weibo posts? If so, why not become his babysitter and keep an eye on him 24 hours a day?

He felt that the leader was really unreasonable.

Wang Kuang is the general manager of Anhui Provincial State-owned Investment Corporation, the general manager of their parent company's parent company, and a department-level cadre.

"No, what happened, leader?" Duan Zhizhong said politely.

Wang Kuang did not ask him to check Weibo again, but made a long story short: "Chen Yuanguang just posted a video, in which he created a room-temperature superconductor suspension, and the accompanying text roughly meant that he had mastered the room-temperature superconductor.

Please follow up on this matter quickly. First, is this matter true or false? Second, is the technology from Light Armor Aerospace or Light Armor Technology? "

Duan Zhizhong opened his mouth wide. As a project manager of the Emerging Industry Development Fund, he had led so many projects and had a certain understanding of cutting-edge technology.

In addition, room-temperature superconductivity is a hot topic recently, and he is also very clear about the value of this thing and how much social change it will bring.

He replied mechanically: "Okay, leader."

Duan Zhizhong hadn't reacted yet, his brain was working at high speed and froze for a moment.

Wang Kuang didn't care about that. "Please reply to me as soon as you figure out these two points. The province is still waiting for news."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The friend sitting opposite Duan Zhizhong saw Duan Zhizhong answer a call and then started to check his phone. After he finished checking, he looked like he had lost his soul.

"What's wrong?" he asked after putting the peanuts in his mouth.

Duan Zhizhong didn't say anything and handed him the phone, on which was Chen Yuanguang's Weibo homepage.

"God of Light, what big move has he made again?" His friend laughed after taking it.

I laughed until I couldn't laugh anymore. "Fuck, it really is room temperature superconductivity, this is amazing! We don't have enough beer today, we have to order white wine."

Then he shouted, "Waiter! Give me a bottle of your best wine!"

Duan Zhizhong finally came back to his senses: "Old Wang, I'm sorry, our company has invested in Guangjia Aerospace, and the province just called, and I have to go confirm some things. I can't continue with this meal today. I'll treat you this weekend."

The thoughts of a business elite returned to his brain. Duan Zhizhong explained the matter clearly in a few words, then picked up his suit jacket and walked out.

Lao Wang could totally understand: "Okay, be safe, waiter, come on!
I need a drink all by myself!"

Duan Zhizhong first called Lin Jia, but the call didn't go through. Then he called Li Haide, but the call still didn't go through.

Amid the neon lights, Duan Zhizhong realized that, with Chen Yuanguang as the core, the characters closer to him would be most affected.

Marginal figures like him were assigned tasks, and people like Lin Jia were even more so.

However, you still have to complete the leader’s task and he will not give you a chance to explain due to objective reasons.

Duan Zhizhong took out his mobile phone and booked a high-speed train from Hefei to Shenhai that evening.

Then I went directly to the nearby Xiaomi Store, bought the cheapest laptop, drove straight to the high-speed rail station, and sent an email to Lin Jia in the taxi.

I just received a reply after sending it out:

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about room-temperature superconductivity at the moment. I will reply to you as soon as I have news. Please forgive me."

Standard reply, a thought flashed through Duan Zhizhong's mind.

"Manager Li, I'm sorry, due to force majeure, the entire Pengcheng Science and Technology Park will be completely blocked starting tomorrow. Please tell your supervisor that you will not be able to come to the office starting tomorrow."

"Ah?" Li Rui asked puzzled.

"I'm sorry, we just received a notice from the city. If you have colleagues who are still in the park, they should have been notified to leave temporarily. The lockdown has begun now."

Li Rui's first reaction was that something serious had happened. She should not even think about resisting this kind of force majeure: "What about the specific opening hours?"

"Not sure, we have to wait for notification from above."

Li Rui did not ask any more questions, but instead reported the information she got from the property management to her boss. To her surprise, her boss did not get angry.

You know, their boss is used to being very stingy about this kind of thing, and he didn't even mention anything about compensation.

"Announce in the company group that we will start working remotely tomorrow, and then everyone will write a daily report on their work progress." The boss's voice came from the other end of the phone. Li Rui thought to herself, this is the boss I know.

After she sent the WeChat message, she stood up and said, "Husband, we will be working from home starting tomorrow. Have you received the notice?"

Her husband glanced at the work group and said, "We have also discussed this in the group."

They both worked at Pengcheng Science and Technology Park. For a moment, they looked at each other in bewilderment: "What happened?"

Li Rui glanced at the company's small group and then at Weibo before she realized that something big had indeed happened.

　I had a writer's block last night... I was never satisfied with anything I wrote.
