Chapter 285: The Advent of Room-Temperature Superconducting Materials

After removing his suit, Su Xin drank another canister of nutrient solution and took a nap in the office.

When he woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Su Xin then took a car to leave the test site and headed to the biological laboratory building near the western suburbs to continue researching the enhancement technology for the Tianlong Cell.

……

Noon, three days later.

Su Xin finished his morning research as usual and walked out of the laboratory. When he picked up his phone, he saw several missed calls from Liu Qingli.

There was also a message—

Boss, there is important news to report. Please call back as soon as you see this.

"Hmm? Looks like something is up."

Su Xin's expression shifted. He returned to his office and called Liu Qingli back via video call.

"What's wrong?"

"There is a very important piece of news. Boss, is it convenient for you to talk right now?"

In the video, Liu Qingli was sitting in her office, her face full of solemnity.

"It's convenient, go ahead."

"Someone has developed a Room-Temperature Superconductor."

"Hmm?! Room-temperature superconductor?"

Su Xin was truly surprised.

He had originally thought it was a problem with the company's business, or that some country could finally no longer tolerate the various policies continuously pushed by Tianqi Group and Long Country and had decided to show resistance.

He did not expect it to be a room-temperature superconductor.

This is a super-technology that many have called sufficient to trigger the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Even though Su Xin had previously developed so many disruptive technologies, no one had ever mentioned anything like an industrial revolution.

It was not because the value and contribution of Su Xin's technologies were not great, but rather that their impact on technology and society was not as profound.

Because room-temperature superconductivity is materials science, which belongs to basic science; it can be widely used in all walks of life, will lead to disruptive changes in every industry, and will also have a disruptive impact on the production and life of the entire society.

Only this is sufficient to be called an industrial revolution.

The cutting-edge technologies Su Xin previously developed were strong, and to scientists, they could be considered mythical achievements, but the influence of those products remained only within the products themselves and could not drive comprehensive changes across all industries.

Just like nuclear bombs, Lithography Machines, magnetic resonance imaging, 3D printing, satellites, aerospace, and many other cutting-edge technologies; each one had a significant impact on society when it was born, but none could be remotely called an industrial revolution.

The more a breakthrough is in basic science, the more profound its social impact becomes.

Cutting-edge science and basic science are two different levels; the direction in which their influence radiates is upward for one, and outward for the other.

"It was jointly developed by two Level 10 Heavenly Scholars at the Tianke Academy, named Wan Zhiyu and Chang Minjuan respectively."

Liu Qingli said.

Su Xin nodded. He did have a slight impression of these two names; after all, he had often gone to the Tianke Academy to give lectures to everyone, and he was relatively familiar with these high-level technical personnel.

"Has it been verified?"

"Several Heavenly Scholars at the Tianke Academy who are proficient in materials science jointly formed an expert group to test the material. They have successfully verified zero resistance and perfect diamagnetism under room-temperature conditions, confirming that the material is a Room-Temperature Superconductor."

"In addition, the expert group also successfully replicated the superconducting material."

"The replication experiment was only completed this morning, which is why I am reporting it to you, Boss, only now."

"Currently, I have ordered complete confidentiality. Apart from the members of the expert group, the two individuals who developed the superconducting material, and the two of us, no one else knows about this matter."

Su Xin nodded and said decisively:

"Notify them that we will hold a meeting this afternoon to discuss the issue of the superconducting material, and I will attend in person."

"Understood, I will arrange it right away."

"By the way, remember to send me a copy of the technical materials for the room-temperature superconductor. Also, you should attend this discussion meeting as well."

"Understood. I have an important meeting at two o'clock, so how about I schedule it for three o'clock in the afternoon?"

"That works."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xin went to the cafeteria to finish his lunch, then took a car to the group headquarters building.

On the way, Liu Qingli sent the technical materials for the Room-Temperature Superconductor and several test videos to Su Xin's phone.

Su Xin had a deep mastery of materials science, but he could not tell from the documents whether the material truly possessed superconducting properties. However, having the complete test videos and the expert team's inspection report did convince him of the authenticity of the Room-Temperature Superconductor.

"It really is... too miraculous!"

After reading the contents of the technical documents, Su Xin could not help but sigh deeply.

He could only describe it as miraculous.

The production conditions for this kind of Room-Temperature Superconductor were not complex; one could even say they were exceptionally simple, and the materials used were also common metal elements like lead and copper.

With such a simple production process and such ordinary raw materials, it stands to reason that humanity should have discovered it long ago, yet it was only discovered now by two materials scientists who were not considered top-tier.

One has to say that materials science is indeed a discipline that requires quite a bit of luck.

When Su Xin finished reading all the technical documents, the vehicle had just arrived at the group headquarters.

Seeing that there was still time, Su Xin went to his office and carefully reviewed the reports for a while to understand the group's current operational status.

Ever since the meeting last year where he set three prohibitions for the group, the group had not expanded in a crazy and disorderly manner as it had before.

But this did not mean the group was not developing.

Instead, it was concentrating its strength to continuously delve deeper into the directions it was good at, while simultaneously conducting in-depth research in more industries and gaining the right to speak in core segments.

This not only promoted the rapid development of various industries but also brought high returns to the group.

The most eye-catching among them was virtual technology.

It was named the Tianhuan System by Tianqi Group.

The Tianhuan System was further divided into three major branches.

The VR virtual reality technology solution is named Tianhuan Virtual System.

The AR augmented reality technology solution is called Tianhuan Reality System.

The MR mixed reality technology solution is called Tianhuan Hybrid System.

Tianqi Group's virtual technology has been widely applied in fields such as gaming, education, military, product design, and professional training.

Among the most popular products in the world right now, there are derivatives of virtual technology.

For example, AR glasses and virtual games.

Many top global enterprises are betting heavily on these two types of products, with multiple excellent products competing for attention in the global market.

Yet the core technology for these products is entirely held in the hands of Tianqi Group.

Next are intelligent robots.

Tianqi Group developed an anthropomorphic Tianxing Intelligent Control System, which possesses extremely strong control and interactive capabilities, allowing robots to perform many tasks that once only humans could, with movements as flexible as a normal person's.

Nowadays, many enterprises have already begun developing various terminal products based on the Tianxing Intelligent Control System.

For example, nanny robots, bodyguard robots, factory robots, combat robots, mini Iron Men, and many other products.

However, the Tianxing Intelligent Control System has not been released for long, and products from various enterprises based on this system are still in research and development, not yet on the market.

Like products such as the Thor Battery, Tianqi Group upholds Su Xin's philosophy of only controlling the core links; as a core technology solution provider, it supplies technology to major enterprises, leaving them to compete fairly with each other on the terminal side.

It is worth mentioning.

A pair of AR glasses developed by a small enterprise from Long Country defeated products from many top enterprises to become the sales champion among VR glasses.

Because Tianqi Group's core technology is supplied equally to all enterprises, coupled with the various systems stipulated by the Electronic Commerce Alliance, some small enterprises are able to achieve cost control not much different from top enterprises, enhancing their competitiveness.

This is exactly what Tianqi Group wants to see.

It avoids large enterprises competing purely by using scale and capital, allowing the ingenious ideas of more small and medium-sized enterprises a chance to shine.

Su Xin demands this of Tianqi Group, and naturally, he also imposes relevant restrictions on other enterprises through various means.

Such a fair competitive environment is the most conducive to the global business development atmosphere.

The current Tianqi Group increasingly displays the demeanor of a king; not only does its strength crush the world, but its style of conduct also makes everyone convinced.

As for revenue, Tianqi Group's performance last year was even more astonishing, with a total annual revenue reaching as high as 65 trillion credit coins.

According to the exchange rate.

One credit coin equals one Long Coin.

The revenue of 65 trillion is 2.4 times that of the previous year, and when placed in the global GDP rankings, it is already undoubtedly second.

What is even more terrifying is that Tianqi Group's profit margin is extremely high; after deducting all costs, the final total profit exceeds 35 trillion credit coins.

This is still despite the fact that Kimchi and Sakura Country suffered super typhoons last year, and subsequently, many countries suffered alien attacks, causing Tianqi Group's assets to suffer significant losses as well.

Otherwise, the profit would have been even higher.

Even so, in terms of profit alone, Tianqi Group could actually rank second in the global GDP rankings.

Yet GDP and profit are two completely different types of data, and the value they represent is not on the same level at all.

Among them, the highest profit contribution belongs to Tianqi Pharmaceutical Company; for example, products like Tianmu Potion, Destiny Potion, and Tianji Zero are incredibly popular globally, and their profit margins are ridiculously high.

Today's Tianqi Group has truly become an absolute behemoth in the international market.

If not for the three prohibitions Su Xin set for the group in advance, I am afraid that countless enterprises around the world would only be able to tremble before this highly aggressive behemoth that is Tianqi Group.

But now, Tianqi Group is like a teacher in a kindergarten; not only does it not bully the children by relying on its own strength, but it also establishes various rules for everyone, leading everyone to play together and creating a more harmonious and friendly environment.

After briefly reviewing the group's development situation.

Su Xin looked at the development of the several major Blue Star alliances he proposed.

The earliest established Blue Star Currency Alliance has seen the promoted credit coins popularized to a great extent globally; currently, the import and export trade of all countries and major enterprises uses credit coins, and only in some very backward regions is the popularity of credit coins not yet perfect, but the promotion speed is quite stable.

Secondly, the identity information of various countries has generally been connected to the Blue Star Citizen Information Alliance, and virtual accounts have been fully popularized.

Because all internet software that requires logging into an account needs to be registered with a virtual identity, anyone who cannot provide one cannot use internet software, including Tiantian Assistant.

It is almost mandatory for everyone to use their real names.

In addition, various business alliances are also constantly improving industry rules, making the development and expansion of all walks of life more orderly.

The global economic turmoil caused by the alien attacks has long been smoothed over in these six months, and the global economy has even begun to recover.

A perfect and harmonious political and commercial order has played a significant role in promoting this.

After seeing these.

Su Xin smiled with satisfaction.

All walks of life around the world are operating according to the rules he established; this not only brings him a strong sense of achievement but also fills him with confidence and expectation for the future.

This also made him suddenly think—

If he had acted as he pleased by relying on his near-invincible strength when he first awakened his Godspeed Ability, the situation at this time would likely be completely different.

Let alone being unable to become the uncrowned king of the world, he would likely have already become a public enemy of the world.
