Chapter 134 Q center
"If Goryeo had not been allowed to monopolize the material LK99, the direct economic benefits alone would have been at least trillions of dollars, not to mention other benefits and the indirect economic benefits brought about by technological leadership. Kwon Young-wan and Kim Hyun-tak are Goryeo's sinners, war criminals of all generations!"

This is the comment with the highest number of likes under the news on a Korean forum that China has confirmed that it has created a room-temperature superconductor.

Regarding the relevant paper on LK99, Kwon Young-wan first published it on Arxiv, a paper open platform, and then Kim Hyun-joo published a paper with more detailed data two and a half hours after discovering his publication.

"Even when the Korean economy has been so depressed in recent years, there are still scientists who continue to make their groundbreaking research results public for their own selfish interests. This behavior of disregarding national interests for personal gain is the main reason why Korea continues to lag behind in the world industrial competition.

The Koreans no longer support their own industries. They buy Chinese products for a little bit of profit and even fly to China to bring Chinese rice back to Korea to sell. After achieving a technological breakthrough, the Chinese are simply unable to tell you how they optimized the LK99 preparation process.

The gap between Goryeo and China in recent years is a direct manifestation of internal factors. "

“Those involved in the LK99 leak should be prosecuted!”

Similar remarks were most common on the Korean forum. People could not accept that the Chinese had made a room-temperature superconductor by following the technical route of Korean scientists.

Because it is obvious that LK99 is not a room-temperature superconductor, which is a fact recognized by the academic community. It exhibits some special properties, but it is not the same as room-temperature superconductivity at all.

The Koreans subconsciously believe that the room-temperature superconductor synthesized by Chen Yuanguang is not LK99, but the preparation principle of LK99 is used.

"This is a victory for all mankind and a moment worth celebrating." Of course, there are also rational people.

Others cheered: “It’s a good thing they leaked it so we can solve this problem with the power of all people, rather than a few underfunded megalomaniacs.

Quan Yingwan is a hero of the Earth. If he hadn't made it public, the God of Light wouldn't have invented room-temperature superconductors. "This is too rational, so rational that the Korean netizens below scolded the Chinese people to get out.

The more rational people said: "If Professor Cui has a spirit in heaven, he should rest in peace."

More rational Koreans are remembering the old professor Choi Dong-sik, who believed in the one-dimensional superconductivity theory and persisted for decades without giving up.

Koreans with various opinions are arguing with each other on the Internet, and in reality, major Korean conglomerates have already begun to take action.

"Professor Kwon, we hope to buy the LK99-related patents from you." The first to arrive was Park Yong-in, the president of Samsung Electronics.

When Quan Yingwan saw the business card, he knew the other party's identity. He was a big shot that he could not afford to offend. "I have no problem. What's the price?"

Park Yong-in was not surprised that Kwon Young-wan did not worry about the price, because LK99 has a complicated history. In theory, the patent rights are in the hands of Kwon Young-wan, but if a lawsuit really breaks out, there will be a lot of arguments.

"Five million dollars." Park Yong-in stretched out five fingers and said without hesitation.

Quan Yingwan made a face like you're kidding me: "Mr. Park, if the Northern Power has not made any achievements, then I have no objection to this price. However, under the premise that the Northern Power has already made room-temperature superconductors, this price is too shabby."

Park Yong-in refused to back down: "It's only worth this price. If you have the technology of the northern great power, then Samsung can also pay 50 billion dollars, not to mention 5 million."

Kwon Young-wan pursed his lips. As a participant of LK99, he subsequently conducted further verification of LK99 in collaboration with Seoul University, Korea University, and Sungkyunkwan University. Naturally, he knew that LK99 was not a room-temperature superconductor.

But he still wanted to struggle, "But the fact that the Northern Power can make it means that LK99 has the potential to become a room-temperature superconductor, right?"

Park Yong-in waved his hand: "Again, if you can do it, you can name any price, and we will give you a check to write whatever you want.

But now it is not the case, we only need the patent of LK99, and it is not us who want the patent, but the higher-ups.” Park Yong-ren yelled at the end, if the higher-ups did not want it, he would not need to come in person to discuss this small business.

Kwon Young-wan asked, "Blue House?"

He couldn't believe what the Blue House had to do with this.

Park Yong-ren whispered, "Longshan Base."

Kwon Young-wan stopped struggling. He could still struggle if the Blue House wanted, but if Yongsan didn't give it to him, he might not see the next day's sunrise.

"it is good."

He guessed in his heart that America wanted the patent of LK99 probably in order to use the name of the patent to promote Kahua's room-temperature superconductor.

As for whether China's room-temperature superconductor preparation used the LK99 patent, it is not important. At least the lawsuit may take several years.

Park Yong-ren smiled when he saw him sign the contract: "There is another good news. The Q center will receive 20 million US dollars in sponsorship every year. In the future, the research direction of the Q center needs to be focused on room-temperature superconductors.

Other research directions need to be stopped, and researchers not focusing on room-temperature superconductivity must either change positions or go to other research institutes.

If you make achievements, there will be corresponding rewards. If you really make a room-temperature superconductor, you can name the price. "

With an annual sponsorship of 20 million US dollars, Q Center is considered to be the top research institute in Korea. The top here means the top treatment.

Quan Yingwan, who was a little depressed just now, was much happier, but then he immediately became unhappy because he heard Park Yongren's next words:

"Of course, considering the contribution of LK99 materials, the Q Center will be led by Mr. Li Shibae and Mr. Jin Zhixun, and you will assist."

The starting point of LK-99 was Professor Choi Dong-sik, who accepted two students, Kim Ji-hoon and Lee Seok-bae. Under the guidance of Professor Choi, the two made lead apatite in 1999, and the experimental data showed special phenomena that seemed to be caused by superconductivity.

After Professor Cui passed away, they registered a shell company called Qcenter, which provided consulting services and conducted experiments to study LK99.

Finally, after they made the material with special properties, Lee Seok-bae and Kim Ji-hoon took a letter from their respective surnames and named the new material LK-99 to commemorate the discovery of trace superconductivity in 1999.

Kwon Young-wan is the sponsor of Q center, so the patent licensing contract has to be signed with him.

This is how the world is. The equity belongs to you. You invested money in Q center when it was short of funds. When it encounters a powerful force, others can decide its control with just one word, and there is no need to sign a contract.

Park Yong-ren came and left quickly, he was in a hurry to report to Yongsan Base.

Quan Yingwan returned to the small building where the Q center was located with this news. He had not been back for a long time since he was the first to publish the LK99-related paper.

Because of the popularity of LK99, the people inside had stopped working there one after another. He returned to the small building, took out his mobile phone, and called the researchers in Q center who participated in the LK99 project one by one.

The discovery of room-temperature superconductivity will also change their destiny.
