Zhou Wenqing had been researching this project for several years.
Most domestic laboratories focused their superconductivity research on nickel, with few studies on palladium; Zhou Wenqing's team's simulated calculation results had already predicted this possibility.
But palladium is a precious metal, and the experiment team's annual usage is regulated.
Jiang University's resources have always been among the best in domestic institutions, generously supporting various laboratories; even palladium is allocated to them each year, but this was far from sufficient for Zhou Wenqing.
Every year, he would go to Dean Huang to complain in order to ensure his team members graduated smoothly.
However, metals have always been scarce domestically, and resources are limited; Zhou Wenqing knew that even the university president was helpless in this situation.
They measured palladium usage by the gram.
This was the first time someone had discussed with him using "jin" (catty).
