Start as a top student and move towards the stars and the sea

After all, a project may last several months, and Ning Chen is not sure whether his exchange life at Yanda will end during this period.

Ren Mingshan also expressed his understanding of Ning Chen's choice, and said that regardless of whether Ning Chen participated in the laboratory project again, he could always visit his laboratory.

On this day, "Nature" officially released a new issue of the journal.

Ning Chen's article "An Iron-Based Superconductor with a Superconducting Critical Temperature of 55K" was also officially published.

Once this paper was published, it quickly aroused heated discussions in the academic community.

Many scholars were deeply impressed by Ning Chen's name when he published three consecutive papers in Nature.

This time, Ning Chen once again published a blockbuster paper on iron-based superconductors, which directly broke the superconducting critical temperature record of iron-based superconductors.

Although the superconducting critical temperature of 55K has not yet reached the category of high-temperature superconductors, it is relatively close to the boiling point of liquid nitrogen.

The news that Ning Chen broke the superconducting critical temperature record for iron-based superconductors has also given people more prospects for the application of superconductivity.

Many people feel that humans are very close to completely unlocking the hidden code of superconductors and discovering normal-temperature superbodies.

But Ning Chen knew in his heart that this goal was just a beautiful illusion. At least in the short term, such a result was still very far out of reach.

…

Chinese Academy of Sciences.

In the office, Tao Wei was wearing reading glasses and looking at the paper Ning Chen published in "Nature".

After reading the contents of the paper, Tao Wei couldn't help but become excited.

"55K! I didn't expect that Ning Chen would break through the superconducting critical temperature limit of iron-based superconductors again so quickly!"

Vaguely, Tao Wei felt as if the last time he saw Ning Chen was just not long ago.

But in fact, several months have passed since Tao Wei last went to Shengzhou University to find Ning Chen.

At this time, Tao Wei couldn't wait to have a good chat with Ning Chen about this new type of iron-based superconductor, even if he went to Shengzhou University again, it wouldn't matter.

Thinking of this, Tao Wei sent a message to Ning Chen. While congratulating Ning Chen, he also asked about Ning Chen's recent situation.

During the break, Ning Chen saw the message Tao Wei sent to him.

"Academician Tao came to Shengzhou University specifically to find me before. This time I should take the initiative."

Tao Wei has a very high status in the superconducting world of China and the world. Ning Chen is embarrassed to let Tao Wei come to see him in person again.

It just so happened that Ning Chen was in Yanjing now, and Yan University was not far from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, so Ning Chen decided to take some time to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find Tao Wei.

Thinking of this, Ning Chen quickly replied to the message, explaining that he was studying at Yanda University for exchange, and when Tao Wei was convenient, he would go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find Tao Wei.

Tao Wei was also very happy to learn that Ning Chen was in Yanjing now. After all, Tao Wei was very old. If there was nothing important, he would definitely try to avoid traveling far away.

Tao Wei didn't want to affect Ning Chen's normal study life, so he asked Ning Chen to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to find him when he had time on weekends.

On Saturday morning, Ning Chen was ready to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and set off for the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Because when Ning Chen was doing experiments at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, he once went to Yanda to find Song Xiyun. Ning Chen was quite familiar with the route between the two locations.

In less than half an hour, Ning Chen took the subway and arrived at the entrance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

After explaining his identity and purpose of visit at the door, Ning Chen was very politely invited in by the security guard.

While doing experiments at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ning Chen had memorized the various locations within the Chinese Academy of Sciences and quickly found Tao Wei's office.

"Ning Chen, you're here!"

Tao Wei seemed to have been waiting for Ning Chen's arrival, and he couldn't hide his joy when he saw Ning Chen coming.

"Academician Tao, Teacher Luo."

"Luo Fang, go and make us a pot of tea."

"OK."

Inviting Ning Chen to sit across from him, Tao Wei asked Ning Chen about the recent situation.

"Ning Chen, when did you come to Yanda to communicate?"

"I have been here for almost two months. Because I want to improve my basic knowledge in various science subjects, I want to come to Yanda for exchange and study for a while."

In front of Tao Wei, Ning Chen didn't say anything about the fact that he submitted another "Science" article at Yanda, otherwise he didn't know what Tao Wei would be like.

"Well, Yan University's science department is relatively strong in China. It would be good to have the opportunity to study there for a while. Of course, if you want to come to the Chinese Academy of Sciences or the National University of Science and Technology for exchange and study, we are very welcome."

"Thank you, Academician Tao, for the invitation. I am very much looking forward to this opportunity."

Naturally, Ning Chen also wanted to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National University of Science and Technology to exchange and study. However, Ning Chen had too many things to do, so he could only do them one by one.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Tao Wei and Ning Chen chatted about this 55K iron-based superconductor.

Because what can be presented in the paper is very limited, Tao Wei still has many questions and wants to discuss them in depth with Ning Chen.

Tao Wei spent the entire morning chatting with Ning Chen about iron-based superconductors, and did not feel any tired.

At this time, Tao Wei suddenly remembered something and said to Ning Chen:

"By the way, Ning Chen, I have an idea for a project. I wonder if you would like to help me realize it."

After hearing Tao Wei's words, Ning Chen said sincerely:

"As long as I can help, I will do my best."

Although he still didn't know what project Tao Wei wanted to do, Ning Chen felt that he had to show a positive attitude.

Before this, Ning Chen had never participated in a project in charge of academicians, and Ning Chen also looked forward to having such an opportunity.

"That's right, Ning Chen, from my personal understanding, the ultimate goal of studying superconductivity is to realize the application of superconductivity. In the future, I hope to conduct research on iron-based superconducting wire strips, regardless of whether these iron-based superconductors It really has application value, and this is an important step towards the application of superconductors."

After hearing Tao Wei's idea, Ning Chen immediately agreed without any hesitation.

"Yes, Academician Tao, I have the same idea. As long as I am useful, I will definitely be obliged to do so."

Ning Chen knew that Tao Wei's project idea was not just for himself or the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but had some higher pursuits.

"Ning Chen, it's great that you think so. Your research in the field of iron-based superconductivity is very outstanding. The project will be completely different with and without you."

Although several of Ning Chen's papers have been published publicly, it is not possible to fully understand all of Ning Chen's research results based on the content reflected in the papers, and it is even difficult to reproduce the experiments.

Being able to invite Ning Chen to participate in the research of the project will definitely be of great help to the progress of the project.

After having dinner with Tao Wei at the Chinese Academy of Sciences at noon, Ning Chen left the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

On the way, Ning Chen also looked forward to his future participation in this project.

In addition to making some contributions to the project, a project of this level also has a very good training significance.

Ning Chen will surely learn a lot from conducting experiments with materials experts like Tao Wei.

If nothing else, Ning Chen is likely to increase his experience in materials science through this project experience, even approaching the unreachable Level 3.

…

Near the end of the semester, Ning Chen returned to Shengzhou University and participated in the final exams of some subjects.

During the two months of exchange studies at Yanda, Ning Chen learned a lot, especially the subject of physics, which improved very quickly.

Not only was he successfully promoted to Level 2, but his subject experience was still rapidly accumulated after the upgrade.

Ning Chen felt that he would continue to study at Yanda for a period of time next semester, at least to upgrade his chemistry subject level.

After finishing the final exam for this semester, Ning Chen did not stay at Shengzhou University for too long and returned to his hometown in Gangcheng.

Because the Chinese New Year is relatively early this year, Ning Chen wants to stay at home for a while and then go back to Shengzhou or Yanjing directly after the Chinese New Year to continue his study and research work.

Ning Chen went to see the bungalow in Emerald Bay with her parents. After several months of ventilation, the smell in the house was very weak.

Ning Chen felt that when spring came, the conditions for moving in would be almost met.
