Fang Hanmin understood the doubts of several young technicians and praised their scientific and pragmatic work attitude, but he really couldn't explain the reasons to them.

The preparation and hydrogenation reduction technology of palladium carbon catalysts was already a very mature process in Fang Hanmin's previous life. The catalyst preparation and process conditions for evaluation given by Fang Hanmin have been the result of countless experiments and production practices optimization. It has been widely used in the relevant industries in his previous life. Faced with such optimized process conditions, and then conducting tests and verifications of other conditions, it is completely unnecessary for him.

The establishment of a scientific research team is not to start from the laboratory to study the preparation method and hydrogenation reduction process of palladium carbon catalysts. Fang Hanmin’s purpose is just to show it to outsiders and let them know that the in-depth technical transformation of the second workshop is based on a series of basic work, and to dispel the leaders’ concerns.

Judging from the general test process, the work in the short test stage is indeed rough. Because of the very optimized process conditions, Fang Hanmin did not intend to spend time in the laboratory, but he had to face the doubts of four young technicians.

Without telling the real reason, Fang Hanmin said helplessly: "Your opinions make sense, but the in-depth technical transformation of the second workshop is a relatively urgent task. We cannot verify multiple process conditions one by one in the laboratory step by step. However, the test results that have been conducted with limited verification can also explain the problem well."

"Are you talking about the two sets of experimental conditions given later? The results can explain some problems, but we think it is still far from enough. As such a large project, the basic work cannot be overdoubted even if it is done in detail."

Fang Hanmin doesn't want to waste time here with several technicians. Don't you want to do experiments? There will be scientific research projects you can't finish in the future. In order not to continue to get entangled with the issue just now, he thought of a slow-down plan, "If you are interested, when the in-depth technical transformation task of the second workshop is completed, we can return to the laboratory and go back to verify the other process conditions in detail."

Fang Hanmin was their leader after all. Although the four technicians were not very satisfied with his answer, they would eventually obey Fang Hanmin's decision.

With the foundation of a small trial, when determining the pilot plan, Fang Hanmin gave the initiative in work to the technicians in two groups. He observed from the side and wanted to see which of the four technicians was better.

A few days later, the four people handed over their respective plans to Fang Hanmin. In order to be as fair as possible, he summoned the four people to introduce the characteristics of their plans, and then voted on each person's plans for secret ballot.

Although there is no comment on the specific plan, Fang Hanmin has to participate in the voting of each plan. After explaining the voting rules, the five people began to vote on the four sets of plans.

A few minutes later, Fang Hanmin announced the voting results to everyone, including Xu Hui, Wan Cheng, Jiang Guoxin, and Guo Peng.

It is obvious that each of the four parties involved voted for him. The more votes Xu Hui and Guo Peng each received were from Fang Hanmin.

Although there is no need to explain, Fang Hanmin believes that Xu Hui's catalyst preparation plan takes into account the convenience of actual operation, Wancheng, who is in the same group as him, is too restricted to the limitations of the laboratory test process.

Guo Peng's plan not only combines with the small trial process, but also fully considers the particularity of hydrogenation reaction, because hydrogen is a dangerous gas that is extremely prone to explosion. In his plan, he combined the process flow with safety issues, which is a highlight. Jiang Guoxin from the same group only focuses on process technology and ignores safety issues.

However, Fang Hanmin emphasized that each group is a whole, and the unselected plan is not without advantages. For example, Wancheng's plan fully reflects the results of laboratory verification. Although Jiang Guoxin's plan does not pay enough attention to safety factors, the hydrogenation process is easy to control. When formulating the final plan, these advantages need to be absorbed.

In addition to verifying the results obtained in the minor trial stage, the pilot process also requires simulation of the conditions of industrial production. If the equipment size is expanded, the site area will naturally be expanded. Fang Hanmin reported the situation to Lao Xia and asked him to help solve the site problem.

Chief Engineer Lao Xia did not have the right to mobilize funds and allocate fixed assets of the entire factory. After listening to Fang Hanmin's report, he needed to report to Director Yuan. Lao Yuan has always been paying attention to the progress of Fang Hanmin's team. Of course he was very happy to hear this news, but he hoped to listen to Fang Hanmin's personal report, "You notify Fang Hanmin, we three will have a meeting here."

Just in Director Yuan’s office, Fang Hanmin once again reported the results obtained in the short-term trial stage and proposed the site and funding issues that needed to be solved in the factory during the pilot stage.

Director Yuan was quite interested, "Very good! In less than half a year, you have done so much work, and the efficiency is still so high. It's amazing! The next step in Chinese is to involve funding and site issues, and funds are easy to deal with. Now the acetaminophen in the second workshop is very good. There is no shortage of this money in the factory. The key is the site. Are there any vacant factories in the entire factory?"

Lao Xia didn't understand this situation, "Ask the logistics department."

Director Yuan grabbed the phone on the table and was about to dial and then put it down. He seemed to suddenly remember something, "Comrade Xiao Fang, have you done an assessment? How large a factory is needed for the pilot? How to provide supporting public projects such as water, electricity, and gas?"

Fang Hanmin came prepared and gave a detailed explanation to the factory leaders of the factory area required for the pilot, water, electricity and gas supporting projects and the number of personnel needed to increase.

"Is that all?" Because he was in a good mood, Director Yuan looked out of touch.

"That's all, after the pilot is completed, we will prepare to move directly to the production line of the second workshop."

"No industrial experiments are done? That saves money and time. The funds and personnel required for the pilot are not a problem. The key is the factory. I will ask the logistics department before talking about it."

Lao Yuan picked up the phone in front of him again and asked the logistics department. The answer he got was that there was no idle formal factory building to use, only a raw material warehouse that had been vacant for many years.

"How large is it?" Fang Hanmin asked impatiently.

“Slightly larger than the area you need.”

"That's good!" Fang Hanmin's requirements are not very high. As long as there is a venue, it's fine. Having a ready-made venue will at least save time than finding a new place to build a new factory.

"I will now ask the relevant departments to clean up the warehouse, then connect water, electricity and gas to meet the needs of the pilot as soon as possible." Director Yuan immediately agreed.

Although the four technicians of the scientific research team proposed their respective pilot programs, held secret ballots, and selected relatively good programs, these were all superficial articles made by Fang Hanmin, with the purpose of letting the outside world see that he gave full respect to all technicians.

In fact, the work plan, experimental plan and process flow of the pilot final given by Fang Hanmin is still his original idea. Because he mastered the mature palladium carbon catalyst preparation technology and hydrogenation reduction process in his previous life, he just followed those process conditions and repeated the small test and pilot to add a little bit of perceptual knowledge to the members of the scientific research team. Why do you have to work hard to start a new job?

Several technicians in the team looked at the experimental plan and process flow provided by Fang Hanmin and felt that although it was very different from theirs, they also felt a bit familiar. After all, their plans were based on small trials, and the small trials in the previous stage were carried out on Fang Hanmin's technical plan.

During the construction of the pilot plant, although there was a professional construction team responsible for the equipment installation, Fang Hanmin still asked the team's technicians to participate, allowing them to feel the difference between large equipment and laboratory equipment.

......

That afternoon, Fang Hanmin received a call from the Personnel Section Chief Hou, "Do you still remember what I said to you before?"

"Chief Hou, you have said a lot to me before, but I don't know what you mean?"

"Liu Jiansheng came to my house today. Do you want to meet him?"

Fang Hanmin was very surprised, "Mr. Liu is going to visit your house today? That's great! I've wanted to meet him for a long time, but I've been struggling to have no chance."

"Then come to my house for a gathering after get off work?"

"Okay, okay, thank you, Section Chief Hou!"

After get off work, Fang Hanmin went to a nearby store to buy two bottles of local famous wine, a large front door cigarette, and some fruits. Before six o'clock in the evening, he showed up in front of the door of Lao Hou's house with these gifts. He reached out and knocked on the door a few times. Lao Hou opened the door to greet him, and turned around and shouted inside, "Jiansheng, who are you here?"

Chief Hou lives in an old-fashioned building with two bedrooms and one living room. Perhaps in order to surprise my brother-in-law, Old Hou did not tell Fang Hanmin about his visit in advance. When he heard the shouts, Liu Jiansheng came out of the living room and was overjoyed. "Is it Xiao Fang? Fang Hanmin is here? Please come in quickly!"

When Fang Hanmin saw the other party, his reaction was a little slow. On the one hand, since Liu Gong introduced him to Lao Hou four years ago, he had never met Liu Gong again. In addition, Fang Hanmin in his previous life had no impression of the stranger in front of him. Even if the two Fang Hanmin communicated with each other in their souls, there would be a short process.

After about ten seconds, Fang Hanmin came to his senses, "Hello, Liu, Master Liu! I heard from Section Chief Hou that you were visiting his house today, and I will come to see you." After that, he put the gift he brought on the table and stretched out his hands to hold hands with Master Liu.

Old Hou and Liu Gong saw the abnormality that Fang Hanmin had just shown, but they didn't think much about it, "Hanmin, have you not met Jiansheng for many years and suddenly met today, and I feel a little unfamiliar?"

Lao Hou's words are equivalent to giving Fang Hanmin a step, "Section Chief Hou is worthy of being a human resources worker, and his guess is very accurate. To be honest, I haven't seen Liu Gong for more than four years. When I met just now, I did feel a little unfamiliar, but it disappeared in an instant. Liu Gong, don't be too careful!"

Lao Liu is an old engineering college student. He doesn't care about the red tape of interpersonal communication in society. In addition, Fang Hanmin left a very good impression on him at the water conservancy construction site back then. He smiled and said, "How can you be so worried! I haven't seen each other for so many years, so it's rare to see you. It's too late to be happy."

"Since that's the case, you can sit down and talk. Hanmin, come and visit and bring these gifts. It's wrong for you to do this! Take it back when you leave."

"Brother-in-law, don't make things difficult for Xiao Fang. If you ask him to take it back, how will he deal with these cigarettes and alcohol? Just accept it and let him do nothing." Liu Gongshan is still understanding.

Fang Hanmin and Lao Liu, a pair of familiar and unfamiliar friends, met again after many years, so naturally they had endless things to say, but at the beginning, they were basically asking questions about their length and weakness. Fang Hanmin only answered mechanically. As the exchange deepened, Fang Hanmin gradually let go.
