Ministry of Science and Technology, Office.
Xu Baogong is handling the work seriously. He was transferred from the Bureau of Science and Industry to the Ministry of Science and Technology as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology, in charge of work in the field of scientific and technological innovation.
From the Bureau of Science and Industry to the Ministry of Science and Technology, the title of deputy minister did not change, but when it came to the central department, it was considered a promotion by half a level.
The reason for the job relocation is directly related to the development of superconducting technology.
The job of Director Xu Baogong is scientific and technological innovation, and he is mainly responsible for the most cutting-edge superconducting technology and anti-gravity technology.
It is still early to talk about the application of anti-gravity technology. So far, there is only one anti-gravity maglev rail transit project, and it is unlikely to create profits from the construction of the project to its application.
The situation is different in the field of superconductivity.
Superconducting materials industry companies have begun to continuously create profits, and superconducting-related application research has also been carried out on a large scale. There will definitely be many more applications in the future.
A scientific and technological field with broad development prospects can drive the development of the entire country.
For example, in the past few decades, the computer industry has developed all over the world, bringing about earth-shaking changes in people's lives and creating huge economic value.
The development of the superconducting field involves various aspects such as transportation, medical care, energy, and electricity. In the future, it may also involve aviation, aerospace, national defense, military, and civilian fields. It is also of great value.
Covering so many fields naturally has huge potential.
The leadership attaches great importance to the development of superconducting technology, so they put the two fields of superconducting and anti-gravity together independently, and appointed a deputy minister to take charge.
At present, many application directions in the field of superconductivity are still under research and exploration. Among the temporary large-scale application directions, one is energy and electricity, and the other is the transportation field.
For example, maglev train.
Even the anti-gravity maglev train uses a lot of superconducting technology.
For example, power transmission.
Some improvements to high-voltage main line sections with serious power losses have begun to be covered with new superconducting materials.
In addition, it is a scientific research institution.
There are many scientific research teams in the world who have begun to study superconducting related application technologies.
As for the Ministry of Science and Technology, many tasks related to the field of superconductivity are related to the research of applied science and technology, such as special research project applications and results reporting, including the reporting of some large-scale projects, all of which are handled by Xu Baogong personally.
SMES technology research is naturally a top priority.
SMES technology research is directly related to power energy issues. With SMES power storage technology, we can balance the production and use of power, and can also ensure the supply of power in emergencies.
This is not only a civilian technology, but also an important national defense support technology.
For example, some military facilities that cannot be powered on normally can use SMES technology to ensure high-power power supply.
The initial research on SMES technology was to provide a new and reliable electrical energy storage technology to Amerikan's Department of Defense Strategic Defense Planning Agency and Defense Nuclear Weapons Agency.
"SMES technology is so important!"
Xu Baogong couldn't help but sigh as he thought about it. He suddenly remembered that the SMES research group formed by Wang Hao had applied to build an SMES power storage experimental device.
"I don't know what's going on..." Xu Baogong thought, and simply called the secretary outside the door, "Xiao Zhang!"
Before he could shout, he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter!"
Xu Baogong shouted.
Secretary Xiao Zhang walked in with the information and reported, "Minister Xu, this is the latest information reported by the SMES battery research team."
"Oh, let it go."
Xu Baogong nodded slightly and immediately opened the file to check it out.
When he actually looked at the contents of the file, he suddenly felt very strange, "A charging and discharging experiment is going to be carried out? Insufficient power supply?"
"What is the problem?"
After all, he is not specialized in technology. He only has a basic understanding of SMES. He has no idea how to do specific research and what stage to do.
Xu Baogong read the report in detail.
"The experimental device's power storage is more than 20 million kilowatt hours, and the minimum discharge requirement is 4 million kilowatt hours..."
"It means that there is a problem with the power supply. Let us approve and cooperate..."
"That's how it should be?"
"its not right!"
Xu Baogong suddenly realized a problem, "Pan Dong's team seems to have never encountered this problem?"
"If it keeps charging, doesn't it mean that the experimental device is operating normally?"
"No way……"
He reacted suddenly and called his secretary Xiao Zhang again, asking him to get a copy of the latest experimental progress materials reported by Pan Dong's team.
That's the latest material sent last week.
After Xu Baogong got the materials, he read them carefully and was even more surprised. "The latest progress, the running time is twenty-seven minutes?"
"Wang Hao's research team can continue to charge?"
"The gap is too big!"
Xu Baogong's eyes suddenly widened. He simply picked up the phone, found an expert who knew about SMES, and asked relevant questions.
The expert's name is Ma Jun, who also works in the Science and Technology Department and is in charge of scientific and technological work in the electric power field.
After understanding the situation, Ma Jun said with certainty, "According to the content of the data, their experimental device should be able to operate normally, otherwise it would be impossible to charge for a long time."
"But it's too strange."
"Their device has only been built for a month. How can it operate normally? Normally, there will be many problems when starting up..."
Xu Baogong was surprised after hearing Ma Jun's words. He simply called Wang Hao and confirmed the news directly with Wang Hao.
Wang Hao said with certainty, "Our device is already running. It has been less than three days now and there are no problems yet, so we applied for a higher power supply."
Xu Baogong still trusted Wang Hao.
However, SMES technology research and development was so important that he still formed an expert team to go to the West China Sea to see with his own eyes.
…
Among domestic SMES technology experts, Pan Dong must be ranked high, otherwise he would not be responsible for SMES technology research.
Pan Dong doesn't know the news yet, and he is delighted with the latest research progress.
In the office.
Pan Dong said with a smile on his face, "We have solved another problem."
"In the last experiment, the device ran for nearly half an hour. After solving the power control problem, it is estimated that it can last longer, maybe more than an hour."
Deng Jianqiang also said happily, "If it can run for more than an hour, the subsequent problems may be much smaller."
"I hope so!"
While Pan Dong was happy, he also knew that their device was far from perfect because the biggest problem of the quench protection system had not yet been completely solved.
The quench protection system takes care of the most important energy storage coil. As long as there is a problem, it will be a big problem.
"By the way, how is Wang Hao's side?" Pan Dong asked.
"There is no new news." Deng Jianqiang said, "I estimate that the experimental device must have been built. I guess the faults are being eliminated. There are many problems in starting the device."
Pan Dong thought and nodded, "When their device can start normally, they will encounter many of the same problems as us."
He suddenly frowned as he spoke, "What if they encounter a problem and come to ask us?"
"this……"
Deng Jianqiang immediately hesitated.
Liang Jingye suddenly turned her head and said, "We are all doing SMES. If they come to ask, they should give guidance, right? This is a major project, and only if we can achieve results as soon as possible..."
Deng Jianqiang immediately shook his head and interrupted, "Xiao Liang, you think too simply."
Liang Jingye looked at Pan Dong.
Pan Dong smiled and said, "Xiao Liang, your mind is still too simple."
"We are indeed working on the same project, but what if we guide them and they progress faster than us?"
"In the end, who owns the results?"
"When doing research, the results are very important. Others don't care. How much help we gave each other in the research, but in the end, we have nothing..."
Liang Jingye nodded thoughtfully, "That's right," and then said, "Can't we study and communicate together?"
"Study with them? And communicate with them! Aren't we suffering a big loss!" Deng Jianqiang said with a smile, "Think about it, we have been studying for more than two years, and they have just started. If we study and communicate together, doesn't it mean that we are guiding them?
them?"
"may be……"
