## TL;DR

This paper predicts that a specific beryllium-based alloy could achieve superconductivity above 34 K at ambient conditions, potentially inspiring new high-temperature superconductor research.

## Contribution

It introduces a predictive approach using the McMillan formula and virtual crystal model to identify promising beryllium-based alloys for high-temperature superconductivity.

## Key findings

- Predicted $T_c$ may exceed 34 K in a specific alloy.
- The alloy's $T_c$ is reminiscent of cuprate superconductors.
- Research efforts could be directed towards ambient high-temperature superconductors.

## Abstract

With the help of the McMillan formula and virtual crystal model, we predict $T_c$ may exceed 34 K in a beryllium-based alloy with a specific composition, reminiscent of $T_c$ = 35 K in the first cuprate superconductor. This may similarly inspire research efforts to seek high temperature superconductors in ambient.
