While Blacklight Biotechnology was making headlines all over the world, dozens of factories were completed in the industrial zone of Namibia's Eco Science City.
Although it was called an industrial zone, these factories were all owned by Blacklight Biotechnology. Strictly speaking, this place should be called the Blacklight Biotechnology Industrial Zone.
Many factories valued the environment and protection measures here and applied to Qian Wenhuan to enter the industrial zone, but they were all rejected.
Hundreds of cargo ships carrying tens of thousands of tons of mechanical equipment docked at the Walvis Bay wharf. They were then transported by heavy-duty trucks to those industrial parks. Ever since Blacklight Biotechnology entered Namibia, the wharf here had not stopped working for even a single day.
Whether it was the construction of the former nuclear power plant, the construction of the Eco Science City, or the current industrial zone, the staff at the Walvis Bay dock had increased from hundreds to thousands. They were often busy.
However, it was precisely the existence of Blacklight Biotechnology that brought countless opportunities and development to Namibia. On one hand, there was the infiltration of the upper echelons, and on the other hand, there were opportunities and development. It could be said that the Namibian Congress had a love-hate relationship with Blacklight Biotechnology.
However, at this scale, the Namibian Congress could no longer weaken Blacklight Biotechnology unless they were brave enough to cut their losses. However, if Blacklight Biotechnology was allowed to withdraw from Namibia, Blacklight Biotechnology might be hit hard, but how good would a Namibia without Blacklight Biotechnology be?
At this time, in a ceramic chemical factory in the industrial zone, three engineers who had joined God's Forbidden Zone led dozens of Black Knights to work here.
The third batch of ordinary Black Knights had just been completed after half a year of cultivation. This was basically the last batch of ordinary Black Knights. Next, Chen Chen would stop production of these ordinary Black Knights and replace them with the T-virus Black Knights that were about to be completed.
Whether it was the cultivation speed or the strength of the body tissues, the ordinary Black Knights and the T-virus Black Knights were not on the same level at all.
As for these 500 ordinary Black Knights, Chen Chen did not assign them to the rapid response force but to the various factories.
These factories were fully automated. With just a few dozen employees, the factory could operate quickly and efficiently.
At this time, Chen Chen was standing in the ceramic chemical factory, watching as the huge assembly line was put into operation under Professor Charles's instructions. After more than three hours, a cylindrical object that was so black that it was reflective was slowly transported out.
From afar, it looked like a palm-sized coal cake.
"Did it work?"
The three engineers gathered together. Professor Charles stepped forward and gently held the palm-sized "coal cake" as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
"Mr. Chen, can we start the experiment now?" Professor Charles asked.
"Let's begin. You guys carry on with your experiments. Don't worry about me." Chen Chen waved his hand with a look of anticipation.
"Alright."
Professor Charles breathed a sigh of relief. He asked his assistant to take out a platform that looked like it was made of pure steel. The bottom of the platform was electrified, turning the steel plate into an electromagnet.
Then, with a holy expression, Professor Charles slowly placed the "coal cake" in his hand above the steel plate.
Then, a strange scene occurred ….
Chen Chen only saw that the "coal cake" did not automatically fall onto the steel plate. Instead, it trembled and floated in the air. As it reached equilibrium, it slowly fell into a state of stillness.
Just like that, the "coal cake" magically floated a few centimeters above the steel plate, completely suspended in mid-air!
Although they were already prepared, when this "coal cake" really floated in the air, everyone still sucked in a breath of cold air …
"It's a success..."
Chen Chen's eyes lit up as he murmured to himself.
This "coal cake" was none other than a normal-temperature superconductor material. It was one of the high-tech technologies Chen Chen retrieved from Elysium's dimension.
"Mr. Chen, we, we did it..."
Professor Charles could feel his entire body trembling. He said excitedly, "The technology you provided is real. This yttrium barium copper oxide compound produced by chemical vapor deposition and then sintering is a normal-temperature superconductor!"
Chen Chen nodded and walked to the "coal cake" suspended in mid-air. "Tell me about the characteristics of this material."
"Alright, alright!"
Professor Charles took a deep breath and suppressed the joy in his heart. "According to the technology you provided, we used chemical vapor deposition to deposit the yttrium barium copper oxide compound, then sintering it to turn it into a ceramic. Also, we must be careful when sintering the yttrium barium copper oxide compound because it's a crystalline material. Only by carefully controlling the temperature and speed of annealing and quenching and calibrating the crystal boundary can we achieve optimal superconductivity..."
After Professor Charles finished his explanation, Chen Chen eagerly asked, "What about its practicality? Isn't yttrium barium copper oxide very brittle? Can it be used as an industrial material? "
"Absolutely."
Charles answered as expected, "After processing, this composite metal oxide has enough ductility and strength. Even if it doesn't meet certain industrial requirements, its diamagnetism can solve most problems..."
With that, Charles gently touched the suspended superconductor on the steel plate and exclaimed, "Look, the perfect Meissner effect. This will lead to an industrial revolution!"
Chen Chen did not say anything, but he knew that Professor Charles was not exaggerating at all. A material that could only maintain superconductivity at low temperatures was completely different from a material that could maintain superconductivity at normal temperatures.
In human society, it had been a hundred years since the earliest discovery of superconductor materials. Countless superconductors had been used in various fields of modern science and technology.
In scientific research, there were more than 9,300 superconducting magnets on the Large Hadron Collider in Europe.
In clinical medicine, there were also superconductors on magnetic resonance tomography imaging machines.
In the industrial field, diamagnetic frictionless gyroscopes and bearings played an important role...
Apart from that, these superconductor materials also played an irreplaceable role in military equipment, satellite communications, aerospace, and other fields.
The significance of a normal-temperature superconductor was not as simple as a new type of superconductor material. Most superconductors only existed at ultra-low temperatures and had to rely on expensive liquids such as liquid nitrogen and liquid helium to maintain a low temperature environment. The cost of maintaining a low temperature far exceeded the cost of the material itself.
Therefore, low-temperature superconductors could only be used in a few cutting-edge industries. It was impossible to achieve in real life.
However, if a normal-temperature superconductor were to appear, there would be no need for any cryogenic equipment in various instruments. This would save the cost of maintaining low temperatures and the cost of manufacturing cryogenic equipment.
This was only one of the benefits. A normal-temperature superconductor could also simplify the production of qubit entanglement. Simply put, it was the realization of a quantum computer.
Apart from that, there were also high-tech fields such as controllable nuclear fusion that would produce explosive changes with the emergence of a normal-temperature superconductor...
The emergence of this material was enough to trigger the fourth industrial revolution in the history of human civilization.
