Chapter 146 It would be a lie to say that you are not envious

Some people think that since Xu You can study the mechanism of superconductivity of metal atom clusters, it is logical for him to continue his research.

But some people think that Xu You's true identity is just a freshman student.

Indeed, Xu You has made very impressive achievements in just half a year of college.

Even so, Xu You's steps were a bit too big.

I want to study the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity and discover superconductors with a superconducting critical temperature above 195K.

What is this concept?

It can be said that if this step is achieved, room temperature superconductivity will be within easy reach.

Many people still don't believe that Xu You really has such ability.

Some people even suspected that Xu You was just using such a gimmick to apply for more scientific research funds.

Anyway, even if you can't do it in the end, it's a very normal thing.

But in Yuan Dong's heart, he still tends to support Xu You.

Yuan Dong knew that since Xu You had applied for such a project, he must be confident and determined to make it happen.

From what I have learned about Xu You these days, I can tell that Xu You is definitely not the kind of person who is just trying to gain fame.

Even if the project is indeed very difficult, Yuan Dong hopes that Xu You will really make a breakthrough.

Even if you can't accomplish all your goals, it's still good to have some breakthroughs.

In one day, Xu You completed the basic resistance measurement experiment.

Seeing that Xu You's expression was relatively calm, Yuan Dong felt that... there shouldn't be any big problem.

"Has it been tested?"

"It's been measured."

"Oh, then "Nature" is going to be released again, right?"

"Well, maybe so."

This time, Yuan Dong was as calm as Xu You.

If Xu You hadn't detected it, Yuan Dong might have felt a little surprised.

After Xu You's experiment ended, Qiao Sen also came to ask about Xu You's experimental results.

After learning that the experimental results were satisfactory, Qiao Sen just nodded, not as excited as before.

Regarding the theoretical research on metal atomic clusters, Xu You has done a thorough job, and these are all within their expectations.

After that, Xu You continued to supplement the experiments and write the paper.

After the thesis was basically completed, Xu You finally received a reply to his project application.

Between Xu You's research results in the field of superconductivity and the evaluation of the value of Xu You's project.

Xu You's application for this project was successfully approved.

For this project, Xu You received 1 million yuan in scientific research funding.

Although it is lower than the target funding Xu You applied for.

But it is already much higher than the average level of scientific research funding for vertical subjects.

“Finally I’m going to do a project completely independently!”

At this moment, Xu You's mood was tense and exciting.

Xu You was a little worried that his final results would be unsatisfactory and he would betray the trust placed in him by his superiors.

But Xu You still kept in mind Qiao Sen’s previous teachings to Xu You.

On the road of scientific research, failure is inevitable.

If you dare not move forward because you are worried about failure.

Then the scientific level of mankind will never be able to progress.

After the project was approved, Xu You also officially started this new project.

In the first step of the project, Xu You needs to obtain enough electronic structure information data inside solid materials through experiments to help Xu You analyze the superconducting mechanism of high-temperature superconducting materials.

Among them, the experimental technology of ARPES is needed.

The so-called ARPES stands for angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy.

Study the electronic structure of solids through the principle of photoelectric effect.

To conduct ARPES experiments, you need to use ARPES equipment.

This is also one of the benefits of Xu You choosing Jida.

Jida’s School of Physics is very powerful and has many of the world’s top equipment.

The scientific research work will not be affected due to lack of equipment.

Xu You is very familiar with the theoretical knowledge of ARPES.

However, Xu You is still a novice when it comes to the specific operation of the ARPES equipment.

Qiao Sen specially arranged for an associate professor to teach Xu You how to use the ARPES equipment.

"Xu You, this teacher is also an acquaintance of yours."

Hearing this, Xu You was also a little confused.

Do you have so many acquaintances in Jida?

But when Xu You saw this teacher, he immediately understood.

"Teacher Cao!"

"Xu You, long time no see."

It turns out that this teacher is Cao Quanli, Xu You’s coach when he was in the Wu Jing national team.

"You guys can talk first, I still have work to deal with."

"Okay, leave it to me, Teacher Qiao."

After seeing Xu You, Cao Quanli couldn't help but pat Xu You's arm.

"It's amazing. I've only been here for half a year and I've already published so many papers and become an intern researcher. Do you want to directly challenge for the Nobel Prize this time?"

Cao Quanli would be lying if he said he was not envious of Xu You's achievements.

Over the years, Cao Quanli has only published one article in "Nature", and it was co-authored with someone else.

At this time, Cao Quanli didn't feel that there was anything to be ashamed of because he couldn't understand Xu You's proof process.

After all, such a student may not be born even once in a hundred years.

"Teacher is overly praised. I just have some achievements in the field of superconductivity, and I want to continue to make some breakthroughs."

"Okay, stop being modest. Come on, follow me."

Cao Quanli took Xu You to another laboratory.

Seeing the complex structure of the equipment, Xu You knew that it was the ARPES equipment.

Although he didn't know the specific price, Xu You estimated that this thing must be expensive.

Because the two of them had been teachers and students for a period of time, the communication process was very smooth.

"Xu You, you are not an outsider. I still have to explain some things to you first. This kind of ARPES equipment has a relatively high probability of malfunction. You should be mentally prepared first. During the time of the year when ARPES is in repair state,

Probably more than normal use."

Hearing the news, Xu You was also a little bit dumbfounded.

Sure enough, real scientific research is not as smooth as ideal.

This is also information that cannot be obtained from books.

"Teacher, if this equipment breaks down, do we have backup equipment?"

"You are overthinking this. It would be nice if the whole school had one. When you have your own laboratory in the future, you can use the funds to buy another one."

"Teacher Cao, this equipment is still normal right now."

"Yes, it was just repaired."

Xu You: "..."

Regarding Cao Quanli's answer, Xu You was speechless for a moment.

Normally, it would always be Xu You's fault for choking others.

This time, he was also choked by his former coach.

"Haha, it's actually not that exaggerated. Even if a fault occurs, it can usually be solved within a week. Well, let me first tell you about some common fault situations."
