In Xihai University now, Wang Hao is a pillar figure.
His status is higher than the principal.
Although Wang Hao does not participate in the school's development decisions, his occasional opinions will definitely be adopted. Even if the principal has doubts, he must suppress them.
That's what Yan Fu thought.
He didn't understand why Wang Hao proposed hiring a large number of algebraic geometry talents, but he didn't understand. He didn't ask for details. Instead, he immediately convened an internal meeting of the school and asked the financial department to prepare to allocate funds for special use.
Talents in the field of algebraic geometry.
The school immediately issued relevant announcements and announced a new talent recruitment plan.
The announcement is just to give a brief introduction and talk about the treatment of relevant talents, but it is impossible to wait for talents to come to your door, but to take the initiative to make sincere invitations.
Several departments in the school worked together to launch a formal "talent poaching plan."
Just as Principal Yan Fu thought, compared to other fields, it is relatively easy to recruit talents in algebraic geometry.
This area seems a bit pitiful.
The vast majority of scholars who specialize in algebraic geometry research work in universities and cannot even find a laboratory job, because algebraic geometry is purely mathematical research and has almost no connection with applications.
Scholars engaged in algebraic geometry research can only work within universities. Among them, some high-end scholars can be attached to mathematics institutions to concentrate on research, while most of them need to be engaged in teaching.
Some of the outstanding talents in algebraic geometry in China have gone abroad to do research. Because the field of algebraic geometry is a theoretical field of pure mathematics, it is very difficult to apply for research and development funds.
This field is difficult to research and develop, it is difficult to produce results, and it is not easy to get good treatment.
It is not easy for even an outstanding doctoral student from a top domestic university to stay as a lecturer in a domestic university.
There are some outstanding doctoral students who, after achieving some results, simply go to work in foreign universities.
Of course, there are also doctoral students from foreign universities who return to work in domestic universities, but they must achieve certain results, and even if there are results, it will be very difficult to apply for R&D funding in the future.
In addition, the circle of algebraic geometry is also very small. It is not an exaggeration to say that famous scholars all know each other.
Xihai University recruits talents in algebraic geometry and provides very good benefits. The settlement allowance alone starts at two million, which sounds very attractive.
Other benefits are also very attractive. For example, outstanding doctoral students can directly sign a long-term contract when they come to the university, and can be transferred to a formal position within a fixed period of time, thus skipping the "promote or leave" process.
Some very outstanding algebraic geometry scholars can directly obtain the treatment of up to fourth-level full professors.
In fact, there are quotas for formal positions.
The School of Science at Xihai University has only six places for associate professors and above, while the Mason Tree Science Laboratory has five researcher and associate researcher places, plus several places in the teaching and research office, which adds up to only about fifteen.
.
This amount is almost enough.
But in fact, because some lecturers in our school will be promoted to associate professors normally, part of the official positions must be reserved for the school, instead of all being given out. The number of positions is definitely not enough.
The school meeting discussed the situation of "more outstanding scholars" and decided to provide more financial subsidies to scholars who do not occupy institutional quotas for the time being.
The release of a series of university policies immediately attracted the attention of a large number of scholars in the field of algebraic geometry.
Some of them who are somewhat famous or have achieved certain results have even received calls from Xihai University, specifically inviting them to come and work at the university.
Xihai University lowered its attitude and acted very sincerely, which made many scholars excited.
In fact, the main target groups for university recruitment are scholars working overseas and outstanding Ph.D. graduates from domestic universities.
Scholars in the field of algebraic geometry can work in overseas universities, either as visiting scholars or as temporary lecturers, and they all have a certain level of ability.
Ph.D. graduates from domestic universities are also judged on their ability level.
If there are no certain results, factors such as ability level, age, etc. must be considered comprehensively.
Some outstanding Ph.D.s are still very young. Even if they have no results, because they are still very young, they still have great potential in the future.
…
While Sokai University is launching a talent recruitment plan for algebraic geometry, the Condensed Matter Physics Research Center is already preparing to replicate the experiment at the University of Chicago.
Zhou Minhua, Wu Hui and others came to Xihai University to meet with Wang Hao, then went to the superconducting experimental base of Factory 244, and then returned to the capital to prepare for the replica experiment.
They have the "recipe" for the mixed gas given by Wang Hao.
The formula is enough.
The preparation for this experiment is quite complicated. The main difficulty lies in creating an ultra-high-pressure environment for superconducting materials, and using the ultra-high-pressure material environment to implement the layout of the AC gravity experiment.
Even at the Condensed Matter Physics Research Center, which has relatively high-end equipment, it took more than two weeks just to prepare for the experiment.
After completing the experimental preparations, the experiment officially started.
Zhou Minhua, Wu Hui and others all passed by that day, including another deputy director of the Bureau of Science and Industry and an academician from the Mathematics and Physics Science Park. A group of people approached the experimental site and waited for the results.
The preparation for the experiment took a long time, but the experiment was short.
Soon, there will be results.
Professor Ying Kehua, who was in charge of the experiment, reported the experimental results with excitement, "We achieved the activation of the superconducting state at 16 degrees Celsius under a pressure of 1.8 million times the atmosphere. In addition, at 8 degrees Celsius, we detected the intensity of the AC gravity field.
The extreme value is 17 percent."
"The field strength in the superconducting state is 13%. The ultimate field strength is four points higher than the normal state."
The results of this experiment made everyone present take a breath.
As long as you know something about the experiment, you will understand that the results of the replica experiment are already stronger than the results published by the University of Chicago experimental group in the "Science" magazine.
The experiment was only realized at a pressure of 1.8 million times the atmosphere, while the experimental team at the University of Chicago created a pressure of 2.6 million times the atmosphere.
At the same time, the peak value of the experimentally activated AC gravity field is 8 degrees Celsius higher than normal.
As for the AC gravity field strength, there is nothing to say.
The AC gravity field strength is directly related to the layout of the experiment and the superconducting material, but has nothing to do with the early detection of the peak value of the AC gravity field strength.
The experimental results are confirmed.
Zhou Minhua also returned to the office of the Bureau of Science and Industry. She had received the confidential achievement report submitted by Wang Hao.
She was still hesitant before whether to go to Xihai University again to learn about the specific information of the results report, mainly because the information in it was so amazing.
It is said above that a combination of elements has been researched, and this combination of elements will greatly increase the critical temperature of high-temperature superconducting materials.
At the same time, a numerical explanation was also given, "It can produce iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials above 100K."
Zhou Minhua knows very well what iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials above 100K represent.
Iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials at this critical temperature can realize large-scale applications of superconducting technology in certain fields.
For example, superconducting maglev trains can greatly reduce the cost of use.
For example, some special components require superconducting materials to transmit electricity.
etc.
There are now some companies on the market that specialize in manufacturing iron-based superconducting materials, but the critical temperature is basically around 30K, and they have only just touched the edge of "high-temperature superconducting".
The superconducting materials and related equipment manufactured by these companies are sold to laboratories for research rather than formally put into industrial use.
Today's superconducting technology is also used in industry, but the area it covers is too small.
If iron-based or copper-based high-temperature superconducting materials above 100K can be developed, it will directly lead to the development of a large-scale industry.
At the same time, the industry may develop in an explosive manner in the future.
Zhou Minhua knew very well that results of this level could no longer be determined by her. With the newly successful replica experiment, she also
No need to doubt anything anymore.
She simply submitted the information to the next level.
Ministry of Science and Technology.
Minister Zhao Enshun was sitting in his office, processing application information for some major projects. He had a headache looking at the newly submitted applications.
That was a project application submitted by Academician Liao Guangyuan together with many scholars and officials, hoping to build a superconducting maglev train outside the Capital Airport.
A major project of this level cannot be approved at once.
This was not the first time that Zhao Enshun had seen this project. He had heard about similar discussions two years ago and even attended Liao Guangyuan's speech. This time, however, he just formally submitted the project application.
When a major project application is submitted to Zhao Enshun, as long as it is passed, it can be discussed and implemented at a high level. However, Zhao Enshun knows that it cannot be approved directly, but should continue to hold on until there is a "ripe time" or a sufficient opportunity is found.
To be continued...
