After sending everyone away, Xia Yangjie and Yu Lihong who stayed behind looked at Qin Hai eagerly, waiting for him to speak. They knew that Qin Hai must have mature ideas about super polyethylene fiber solvent, so they dared to do such a thing
Decision-making. In the past, Qin Hai had shown them his unusual technological foresight many times. After the initial surprise, everyone gradually became numb to this kind of foresight. They interpreted it as Qin Hai's talent.
Talent is something that cannot be explained by human wisdom.
"You don't have to look at me like this. In fact, I just have some guesses..." Qin Hai angrily gave the two of them some psychological preparation. It is not an easy thing to use his golden finger like this often.
People looked at him like a fairy, and Qin Hai felt that he was under great pressure.
"The use of decalin and paraffin oil as solvents has been patented. We can do it on our own, but if we want to face the international market, we cannot do such infringing things. Some time ago, I thought about it myself
After a while, I felt that toluene also has the ability to dissolve polyethylene, and the effect is no worse than decalin. Can we give it a try in this regard?" Qin Hai said.
"Toluene?" Yu Lihong frowned, deduced it in his mind, and said, "This is a good idea. I think you can try it."
Xia Yangjie smiled and said: "Lao Yu, don't even try it. Since Xiao Qin said it, I think it's 80% likely to work. Just go all out to do the experiment. Didn't Xiao Qin just say that no matter the cost?"
"Is there really no need to argue further?" Yu Lihong looked at Qin Hai, waiting for his final decision.
Qin Hai nodded and said: "There is no need to argue, Yu Gong, just arrange experiments. If you choose the wrong direction, it will be in vain. We can afford the loss. As for other directions, let's not consider them for now.
If your mind is unsettled, nothing will be accomplished in the end."
"Xiao Qin is right. Cutting off ten fingers is better than injuring one. However, once you really go all out to try, you may have to invest millions. If there is a mistake, it will be a pity." Yu
Li Hong said.
"Don't hesitate, just follow this idea." Qin Hai replied decisively.
At that time, there were many institutions researching ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, and they were conducting experiments using various solvents. Everyone was looking for other solvents beyond the patent barriers. However, those who dared to identify a solvent and persisted in the experiment,
Only Qin Hai. And Qin Hai dared to do this because he knew that toluene was a viable option and that as long as he persisted, he could achieve a technological breakthrough.
Having determined toluene as the alternative solvent does not mean that all technical problems have been solved. It is also toluene, and there are various types. What concentration should be used and how to match it with polyethylene.
This is something that requires repeated experiments, and the cost is indeed calculated in millions. The direction is right. The remaining experiments are not difficult. As long as human and financial resources are invested, the technology can be explored.
Yu Lihong wrote down the word "toluene" in his notebook and began to figure out how to organize the experiment. In order to get the results as soon as possible, he needed to arrange for several groups to work together, which involved personnel, equipment, etc.
Waiting arrangements. Also, he himself probably shouldn’t expect to have time to rest in the next few months.
Fortunately, since he was able to bring home a lot of salary and bonuses, his wife's concern for him has been fully upgraded. Even if he doesn't come home for several months, his wife will never complain and will come back every day.
After simmering the pork ribs soup, he personally delivered it to the company to replenish his body. The economic base determines the superstructure. Yu Lihong deeply understood this principle.
After seeing off Yu Lihong, Xia Yangjie closed the door, sat down and asked Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, you are so anxious to make super polyethylene fiber, what are your plans? In my impression, this fiber has no specific applications yet.
, even if we come up with it, it will take some time for downstream manufacturers to accept it, right?"
"No, I have already found a use for it, and that is to make body armor." Qin Hai said.
"Bulletproof vest?"
From Xia Yangjie's point of view, military affairs were too far away from civilians. If Qin Hai wanted to produce civilian products, he would completely understand, but why did he get military products all of a sudden?
"Is it very unconventional?" Qin Hai said with a smile, "If you think about it, this kind of fiber is extremely strong and extremely low in density, so it is just suitable for making bulletproof equipment. Not only can it be used to make bulletproof vests, but it can also
It is definitely much better for making helmets than the Kevlar fiber currently used."
Xia Yangjie is naturally aware of the material Kevlar. It is a type of aramid fiber that has been used to make soft body armor as early as the 1970s. It is currently the mainstream material for making body armor. Kevlar fiber
The strength is very high and the bulletproof effect is good. The only drawback is that the fabric is relatively fluffy and the bulletproof vest looks bulky.
The practical shortcomings of the bloated feature are not only ugly appearance and inconvenient movement, but also revealing that the soldiers are wearing body armor, allowing the enemy to choose parts without body armor to shoot. In preventing assassinations or
In terms of cold guns, this flaw is very fatal.
The strength of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is much higher than that of Kevlar. It is foreseeable that body armor made of this new material will be more compact in appearance and lighter in weight, making it stronger than Kevlar products.
competitiveness.
"Your idea may be right." Xia Yangjie said, "But body armor should be a product restricted by the state, right? Is it appropriate for us, a private enterprise, to produce body armor?"
Qin Haidao: "Am I not cooperating with the military? If there is no military background, how can I dare to think about this?"
Xia Yangjie touched his head: "By the way, I forgot about this. What, you plan to produce body armor and sell it to the troops?"
Qin Hai shook his head: "Our army is very poor now, how can it be possible to equip body armor on a large scale. According to my guess, at most some special forces, special police and the like can equip a few pieces. If we just count on them to purchase them,
We can’t even recoup our early investment in scientific research.”
"Then who are you going to sell to?" Xia Yangjie asked.
Qin Haidao: "The richest person in the world is the US military, so this thing must be sold to the US military."
"U.S. Army!" Xia Yangjie felt that he had to buy some medicine to prevent heart disease and prepare it. After a while, he was overwhelmed by the shock Qin Hai gave him.
"Xiao Qin, we can't make such a joke. The US military... should be considered the enemy after all, right? How can we sell body armor to the US military?" Xia Yangjie seriously questioned.
Qin Hai said disdainfully: "You are thinking too much. Don't say that we are not hostile countries to the United States. Even if we are enemies, do you think that if we don't sell them bulletproof vests, they can't make them themselves? Bulletproof vests are not
What kind of strategic equipment are you worried about? My plan is to cooperate with 70x Institute to produce body armor, helmets, etc., and then sell them to the US military at a high price, and use American military expenditures to subsidize Chinese scientific research. What's the point?
Not for it?"
"Why do I feel like I can't get around this detour?" Xia Yangjie said with a grimace. Matters involving international politics are a bit complicated for him, an engineering man.
Qin Haidao: "If you can't go around it, don't go around it. Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter through the military. Without the authorization of the military, I wouldn't be so bold. What you need to do now is
It is to organize manpower to quickly produce this product so that it can be industrialized. I will arrange for Yu Haitao to contact several clothing companies to prepare for the production of bulletproof vests. As for the sales issue, you don't have to worry about it."
"I understand." Xia Yangjie said, "I will just do what you arranged. Anyway, I am not as good as you in these conspiracies."
After arranging these things, Qin Hai left Xia Yangjie's office and turned to the offices of Ning Mo and Yu Haitao, who are now based in Pujiang and are responsible for taking care of the daily administrative affairs of Haijie Company.
"Fat man, Haitao, how are you doing?" Qin Hai greeted the two of them cheerfully as soon as he entered the house. Over the years, they have been together less and less, but their friendship at that time has not weakened, but because of
It becomes deeper with age.
"Hey, Mr. Qin came to our company to inspect our work again?" Yu Haitao joked with a smile while pouring water from a cup for Qin Hai.
"It's not just an inspection, it's just a reminder. Those glasses just came here, saying that it was a task assigned by you, or an urgent task, and asked them to allocate funds and materials, and also asked for assistants. What was it?
No matter the cost, that's what you said, right?" Ning Mo said with a grin.
"Yes, I arranged it." Qin Hai pulled up a chair and sat down, saying: "This matter is of great importance. You must give the greatest support. If the money is not enough, just tell me and I will allocate more money to you.
.After this matter is settled, I will take you two to the United States next year."
"There is nothing unusual about the United States. We have been there several times." Yu Haitao said disdainfully. When the company has money, Qin Hai is not stingy. Whenever he gets an opportunity, he will arrange for a few of his subordinates to go abroad to broaden their horizons. Ning
Mo, Yu Haitao and others have indeed gone to the United States several times to promote their products.
Qin Hai disagreed and said with a smile: "It's true that you have been to the United States, but have you ever entered the Pentagon? Now if this project is completed, we can go to the Pentagon and see what American soldiers look like." (Unfinished)
