Ning Jing walked up to the half-grown old man, pointed at Qin Hai and introduced him respectfully. Although she was unscrupulous in front of Qin Hai, she still seemed very well-behaved in front of her department chair. Although she had a few SCI papers, she
It has been deeply appreciated by Tang Rongmin and other professors.
"Professor Tang, hello, I am Qin Hai from Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory in Anhe Province." Qin Hai put Quiet's bicycle aside and locked it, then walked forward with a smile and extended his hand to Tang Rongmin.
Tang Rongmin also smiled and stretched out his hand, shook Qin Hai's hand, and then said: "Mr. Qin, we have admired you for a long time. I heard that in the past three years, your factory's thermal spray machines have created nearly one billion US dollars for the country.
It’s really remarkable that China’s foreign exchange earnings have become the largest foreign exchange earning item after oil.”
"Where." Qin Hai waved his hand, "We are just a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse and took advantage of a loophole that foreign countries did not notice. Since last year, foreign thermal spray technology has risen rapidly and has seized most of our market.
, our factory is now facing the danger of going downhill."
"I think that with you, Mr. Qin, your factory will always be able to find opportunities to create greater glory." Tang Rongmin said. He was also an old scholar. Since he became the head of the Department of Physics, he has to pick him up and drop him off frequently.
In the past, over time, I also learned some ways to socialize.
Qin Hai said: "Then I accept Professor Tang's good advice. Professor Tang, please don't call me Mr. Qin. I am just a primary school student in front of you. If you don't mind, just call me Xiao Qin."
."
"How inappropriate is that?" Tang Rongmin said.
Qin Haidao: "It's appropriate, very appropriate. Only in this way can I feel more comfortable. Otherwise, I always feel that we are not talking about things in school, but business negotiations."
"Haha. Business negotiation?" Tang Rongmin said with a smile, "In that case, I would rather obey your orders than be respectful and take the liberty to call you Xiao Qin. Come, Comrade Xiao Qin, let's sit in the room."
The two of them gave in to each other and walked towards the building. Jingjing hesitated for a moment, not sure whether he should follow. Tang Rongmin saw it and greeted with a smile: "Jingjing, you can come too. Didn't you say, Comrade Xiao Qin?"
Are you a good friend of your brother?"
"Yes, he used to steal materials from the workshop with my brother." Ning Jing said this to Tang Rongmin again quickly.
Tang Rongmin turned to look at Qin Hai. Qin Hai quickly explained: "This was all done by young and ignorant people in the past. Now we no longer steal materials."
"Haha. Xiao Qin is really humorous. You are now the chairman of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. The entire factory belongs to you. Who else can you steal materials from?" Tang Rongmin joked with a smile.
The three of them came to Tang Rongmin's office chatting and laughing. Tang Rongmin asked Qin Hai to sit down on the sofa, and asked Ning Jing to help pour tea. He sat down opposite Qin Hai. After exchanging a few words with each other, Tang Rongmin asked: "Little
Qin, you asked Ning Jing to make an appointment with me and said that you wanted to talk to me about something. Can you tell me what it is? "
Qin Hai sat upright and replied: "Yes, I came to Beijing University this time to ask for help from Professor Tang."
Tang Rongmin was a little strange and asked: "Ask for help? How can I help you?"
Qin Haidao: "I just told Professor Tang that our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory made some money in the first two years by producing thermal spray machines. But since last year, the market for thermal spray machines has gradually been divided up by foreign manufacturers. Even ours
In this part of the market that we still occupy, product prices have also dropped significantly, and our factory is facing serious difficulties in operations. Under this situation, we considered actively developing new products and entering new markets, so I looked for
You have come calling for help."
"I still don't understand." Tang Rongmin frowned and said, "You are a machinery factory and we are a physics department. There seems to be no intersection between us..."
Qin Haidao: "How come there is no intersection? Although we are a machinery factory, the products we produce now are new material process equipment. The theoretical basis of thermal spray technology is physics. I think the teachers from the Department of Physics at Peking University have
Our understanding of the thermal spray process is definitely far above ours."
"Uh...Well, I can only say that each has his own strengths." Tang Rongmin accepted Qin Hai's statement half-heartedly.
As Qin Hai said, thermal spray technology is largely based on physics. The interaction between high-speed particles and the substrate is a very typical physical phenomenon. There are some studies in the Department of Physics at Peking University
The professors in this field did have a deeper understanding of the thermal spray process than Qin Hai, but they did not have the conditions to actually verify the process, so they gave Qin Hai the opportunity to invent the thermal spray machine.
Talking about this matter, Tang Rongmin can be said to have shed tears and walked a thousand lines. There are a group of national-level masters in the Physics Department, and they have enough ideas in their minds, but to implement these ideas, a lot of experiments are needed. The experimental equipment of the Physics Department is insufficient.
, experimental funds are even tighter and cannot support such an experiment at all, so we can only watch helplessly as foreign colleagues achieve results first.
Methods like thermal spraying involve many interesting physical phenomena. Several professors in the department approached Tang Rongmin and expressed the hope of getting a thermal spraying machine so that they could do some thermal spraying experiments in the laboratory to verify their results.
Some academic conjectures. But how could Tang Rongmin have such ability? He asked someone to inquire about the price and knew that the thermal spray machines exported by Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory cost more than 2 million US dollars each, which is worth the entire four to five years of the entire physics department.
Funding, is this something they can afford?
"Professor Tang, we have gained an inspiration from the development and production of thermal spray machines, that is, equipment related to material technology has a large market, and whoever has a leading position in technology will be able to win the market. Therefore,
We want to form an industry-university-research alliance with the Department of Physics at Peking University to jointly develop advanced materials and equipment," Qin Hai said.
"Advanced materials and equipment?" Tang Rongmin muttered this word, showing a thoughtful expression.
"For example, we know that the Department of Physics of Peking University has made great achievements in ion implantation technology. I wonder if Professor Tang is interested in jointly developing industrial ion implantation equipment with us?" Qin Hai made a suggestion.
"Do you want to make an ion implanter?" Tang Rongmin was startled, and his eyes gradually turned hot when he looked at Qin Hai.
The so-called ion can be understood as an atom that gains or loses some electrons, and is also a basic particle that constitutes a chemical structure. In a vacuum, if an ion beam is fired at a solid material, it may bounce off the solid material, or
It goes through the solid material, but it may also stay in the solid material. The latter situation is called ion implantation.
Ion implantation means adding new elements to the original material, which can change the properties of the original material. Therefore, it has become a very important material processing method. The ion implantation method can realize ceramic materials, metal materials, and polymers.
Surface modification of materials produces new materials that meet people's needs.
Another very important application of ion implantation is the manufacturing of large-scale integrated circuits in the microelectronics industry. By implanting ions into silicon wafers, various impurities can be added to the silicon element, thereby changing the electrical characteristics of the semiconductor material.
For this reason, ion implanters have become one of the important equipment for large-scale integrated circuit manufacturing.
The Semiconductor Physics Teaching and Research Section of the Department of Physics at Peking University studies ion implantation technology, and has designed ion implanters for several domestic electronic equipment companies. However, in addition to theoretical guidance, the manufacture of ion implanters also requires high-precision
Mechanical processing capacity. Due to the limitation of processing capacity, the performance of domestic ion implanters is very different from that of foreign countries. For the purpose of technical blockade, foreign countries prohibit the export of certain types of ion implanters to China, which has led to the decline in domestic semiconductor production.
Capacity seriously lags behind foreign countries.
Hearing that Qin Hai intends to enter the ion implantation equipment, Tang Rongmin was both excited and a little worried. He said: "Xiao Qin, how much do you know about ion implanters? Do you know how difficult it is to develop ion implanters?"
Qin Haidao: "I am an outsider in this regard. I know that ion implanters are very cutting-edge equipment, and there are certain difficulties in both development and manufacturing. However, it is precisely because of the difficulty that we plan to enter this field.
The chairman has said that unlimited scenery lies on dangerous peaks. How can we get high returns without taking risks?"
"You are right, but determination alone is not enough. The investment in the research and development of ion implanters is not a figure of one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. Are you mentally prepared for this?" Tang Rongmin reminded.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "If we spend 100 million, what step does Professor Tang think we can achieve?"
"One hundred million?" Tang Rongmin almost couldn't believe his ears, "Xiao Qin, are you kidding me? How can you spend 100 million for development?"
Qin Haidao: "Professor Tang, you are a professional in research. You should know that if you want to compete with foreign counterparts in ion implantation technology, an investment of 100 million is probably not much less. The goal of our factory is not to compete with the small.
Instead of filling the gap in the country, we must directly enter the forefront of the world and let foreigners imitate us instead of us imitating foreigners. It is precisely because of this consideration that I made a special trip to Beijing University today to invite Beijing University
Our professors help us realize such a dream.”
"One hundred million... Where do we start..." Tang Rongmin's tone was trembling. If Qin Hai had said one million or ten million, he could have calmly discussed the feasibility and technology with Qin Hai.
Route, etc. But Qin Hai suddenly said an astronomical figure like one hundred million, and Tang Rongmin suddenly felt that his mind was empty and he didn't know what to do. (To be continued...)
