But the definition mentioned by Zhang Weiqiang alone could not be heard by him at a level that could compete with technologies such as controllable nuclear fusion, nanotechnology, and photolithography machines.

Xia Longju said: "I didn't understand the significance of this thing at first. Isn't it just that it has no resistor? But then I learned something that made me realize how amazing this technology is."

"Do you know how much loss there is in transmission lines?" Xia Longju said, "This year, our national power generation is 7.5 trillion kilowatt-hours, and do you know how much is the loss on the power supply lines to enterprises alone?"

"How much?" Gu Zongyan asked.

"Thirty-seven billion kilowatt-hours!" Xia Longju said, "This only counts the loss of electricity used by enterprises. Most of the electricity used by enterprises is in high-voltage areas, and the loss rate is not large. The loss rate of civilian electricity is even greater!"

"A 10-kilovolt high-voltage transmission line consumes an average of 1.5 kilowatt hours of electricity per kilometer. These are all power losses caused by resistance." Xia Longju said.

"Our country is a country with uneven development and uneven distribution of resources. There is more coal in the north and more water conservancy in the south. At the same time, economic development is also uneven. In the eastern coastal areas, electricity consumption accounts for 60% of the country, but most of the energy needed relies on transportation.

.”

After a pause, Xia Longju continued: "You can think about it, how much electricity is lost in the process of transporting electricity from the west to the east?"

Cai Zhenyi nodded and said: "Oh, that is to say, if the resistance disappears, there will be no need to lose this power. Is that what you mean?"

"right."

After Xia Longju finished speaking, he took a sip of water and continued: "But this is only the most insignificant use of this technology."

"Um?"

Xia Longju continued: "The resistance drops to 0, which means that all electrical appliances will no longer generate heat. This means that long-distance power transmission does not require the use of alternating current. Direct current can be used directly, and there is no need to convert electricity."

Then, he lowered his voice and said: "It also means that quantum computers can be realized in superconductors. It also means that the key constraints of controllable nuclear fusion have disappeared."

"Controllable nuclear fusion? Why is it still related to controllable nuclear fusion?" Gu Zongyan said.

Xia Longju enjoyed the confused look of his old classmate and said slowly:

"The current technical difficulty of controllable nuclear fusion is that the conversion rate is low. The energy required to start a thermonuclear power plant is higher than the output. But with superconductors, the starting energy of thermonuclear fusion can be reduced to less than 10% of the current level.

In this way, the commercial use of controllable nuclear fusion will solve a major difficulty."

This series of nouns stunned everyone present. Not to mention Gu Zongyan didn't understand, even Zhang Weiqiang didn't understand.

"In short, if we have this technology, everything will change, and it will change dramatically!" Xia Longju waved his hand, "We will directly carry out the industrial revolution again, and build all industries from scratch!"

As a businessman, Gu Zongyan was both happy and afraid of such words, and continued:

"Then since we have studied superconductivity before, why didn't we use it earlier?"

"The key point of the problem is that what he just said, 'at extremely low temperatures', is the premise of these words." Xia Longju said, "You can't install a refrigerator on a long-distance transmission line, right?"

Gu Zongyan said: "Then what you just said..."

"So what I'm talking about is room temperature superconductivity," Xia Longju said. "That is to say, superconductivity can also be achieved at normal temperatures."

Zhang Weiqiang suddenly became excited: "Has there been a breakthrough in room-temperature superconductivity?"

"A breakthrough." Xia Longju lowered his head to drink tea, "I just went to that laboratory to check it out today, but it exhausted me to death."

Stupid people are still thinking about the meaning behind it, but smart people have already started to take action.

Gu Yuqing took out her mobile phone and started picking stocks.

She didn't understand it very well and had only a partial understanding, but she was just a stock trader anyway, so there was no need to understand it that much.

Superconducting, right? For the superconducting section, just buy it and you’re done!

Gu Zongyan frowned and was still digesting the information given by his old classmate. Xia Longju patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Actually, in a few days, the results of this matter will be disclosed to the whole world, and the whole world will know about it. If you grasp this news in advance, you can plan your industry in advance."

Gu Zongyan was stunned. In recent years, the real industry has become increasingly difficult to make money, and his company has been focusing on real needs and engaging in finance and the like.

Hearing Xia Longju's words, it seemed like he wanted to hit him?

Gu Zongyan said: "We have mastered this technology, why should we make it public? Isn't it better to close the door and master this technology first?"

Xia Longju said vaguely: "Digest it at home? This kind of breakthrough technology cannot be digested even by our country. The whole world must come together. And..."

In the end, he didn't say "and" because it involved something that couldn't be said.

Of course, the reason he said is not entirely true. There are deeper reasons behind it.

Speaking of this, Xia Longju pointed at Gu Yuqing and said:

"The reason why I lamented that young people are amazing before is because the technical experts who have broken through this technology this time are about the same age as you, and they are also young."
