Ji Mingchu said that he has retired, which is true. But to say that he is just an ordinary citizen is a big joke. As one of the few remaining founding fathers, Ji Mingchu has a very high status in the military and the central government.
, can participate in various major decisions. Since he has withdrawn from the front line, there are few opportunities for his name and photo to be published in the newspapers. This is why Qin Hai cannot recognize him.
Qin Hai remembered that Ji Mingchu died a few years before he traveled through time. The photos published in the media at that time were much older than they are now. Although Ji Mingchu's hair is now more than half gray, there are already several spots on his face.
Age spots appear, but the old man is still there, whether standing or sitting, it can give people a great sense of psychological oppression.
"Mr. Ji, I'm so sorry, I didn't recognize you." Qin Hai quickly apologized. Even if he had never met Ji Mingchu before, at least there were images of Ji Mingchu in some epic dramas. The special actors were well chosen, and his facial features
He is not too far removed from the real person in front of him, so Qin Hai should be able to correctly guess his identity.
"It's not a mistake not to know me. There's nothing to be embarrassed about." Ji Mingchu waved his hand and said, "Now you know who I am. You can think about the question I asked you just now and see if it can be done."
"Yes!" Qin Hai gave a resounding answer without even stuttering.
"Haha, so happy?" Ji Mingchu laughed. Just the word "can" made Ji Mingchu feel good about Qin Hai. As an old general who has come out of bloody storms, he likes young people who are responsible.
.Qin Hai's behavior was in line with his temper.
"Mr. Ji, the request you made must be related to the national defense plan. As long as you can make it, we have no reason to refuse." Qin Hai said with dignity.
At this time, Qin Hai was also riding a tiger. Ji Mingchu made a request to him in front of so many people, especially when there were leaders present. Even if someone borrowed Qin Hai's courage, he did not dare to directly refuse Ji Mingchu. At this time
, he could only bite the bullet and agree to any request that Ji Mingchu might make. If any of the requests were beyond his ability, he would have to wait and slowly shirk them later.
Of course, from another perspective, Qin Hai also believes that Ji Mingchu is not the kind of person who is aimless. The demands he can make should be within a reasonable range and must be highly related to national defense construction. Qin Hai
Haiyuan already cares about national defense technology, so how could he refuse such a request?
Ji Mingchu nodded, and then said: "Xiao Qin, I heard from my teacher that you have very good attainments in materials and are familiar with the laws of the materials industry, so I can't leave this matter to anyone else but you."
"Mr. Ji, please speak." Qin Hai was not modest this time and accepted Ji Mingchu's praise calmly.
Ji Mingchu said: "Do you know No. 98 steel?".
"No. 98 steel?" Qin Hai's eyes lit up. It turned out that Ji Mingchu was thinking about this.
In his previous life, Qin Hai was a cross-professional materials expert and was involved in many important military projects. It was at that time that he knew what No. 98 steel was, and he also had a deep understanding of the research and development process of this steel.
The so-called No. 98 steel is actually a number determined internally by the military. Coincidentally, when Qin Hai and Wang Hongsheng were discussing holding a materials technology exhibition, Qin Hai also cited an example of this kind of steel. It is exactly
Special deck steel used on aircraft carriers.
The ship plate steel used by warships is different from that of ordinary civilian ships. The ship plate steel of civilian ships only needs to be strong, durable, and especially resistant to seawater corrosion. Warship steel needs special requirements such as impact resistance and high temperature resistance. Simply put,
It is to ensure a certain degree of survivability in a war environment. In this sense, the requirements for warship plate steel are much higher than those for civilian ship plate steel.
Among all military ship plate steels, the steel requirements for manufacturing aircraft carrier decks and nuclear submarine pressure hulls are the most stringent. In peacetime, the probability of a warship encountering a missile attack is very small, and generally speaking, as long as it can withstand one or two
One strike is enough to meet the protection requirements. However, aircraft carrier deck steel and nuclear submarine pressure hull steel are different. They need to work in harsh environments for a long time, and there is almost no difference between peacetime and war.
Take aircraft carrier deck steel as an example. The deck is used for carrier-based aircraft to take off and land. When the aircraft takes off, the flames ejected by the engine will cause high temperature and scorching heat to the deck; when the aircraft lands, the landing gear will cause a huge impact on the deck. Also
That is to say, the aircraft carrier deck is subject to repeated attacks almost every day. In this case, it must be ensured that it does not deform, otherwise it will have a serious impact on the takeoff and landing of aircraft.
A simple performance index can illustrate the high requirements for deck steel. The yield strength of ordinary civilian ship plate steel is about 250 MPa. The yield strength of ordinary military ship plate steel is required to reach 350 MPa. And the United States uses
The yield strength of aircraft carrier deck steel, including hy130 and hsla-115, exceeds 800 MPa.
Here is a brief introduction to science: 1 MPa means to withstand a pressure of 1 million Newtons per square meter, and 800 MPa means to be able to withstand... well, it is a big, big pressure anyway.
In that era, the maximum yield strength of the ship plate steel that China could produce could only reach 440 MPa. Compared with the ship plate steel with a yield strength of more than 1,000 MPa in the United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, and France, the gap was still very obvious.
.
The development of No. 98 steel is to solve the bottleneck of ultra-high-strength ship plate steel and provide a material basis for the construction of China's aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines. However, due to insufficient technology accumulation and limited national investment, the development of No. 98 steel is currently under way.
In trouble.
Ji Mingchu was a hawkish representative in the military and had a deep affection for aircraft carriers and submarines. This time he accompanied the chief to visit the materials exhibition and listened to the planning committee's ideas on the development of materials technology. With a thought, he decided to
The issue of No. 98 steel was brought up in front of Qin Hai. In his heart, there was a faint expectation that maybe this young man could make the development of No. 98 steel clear.
In this life, because of his relationship with Chen Heqian, Qin Hai had heard the name of No. 98 steel, so when Ji Mingchu mentioned No. 98 steel, Qin Hai did not need to pretend to be completely unaware of it. He nodded gently and said:
"Mr. Ji, I heard Professor Chen mention No. 98 steel."
"If I leave this matter to you, can you get it done?" Ji Mingchu was worthy of being a soldier, and he did not mince words at all.
Qin Hai turned to look at the people in the VIP room and smiled without saying a word. He knew that apart from himself, a young exhibition organizer, the others who could participate in this discussion were at least officials at the deputy ministerial level or above.
There is no need to keep secrets at the level of No. 98 steel from them. Even so, Qin Hai does not want to discuss this topic in front of everyone, because he still has some conditions to discuss with the old general, and there will be more people.
There is no explanation.
"Haha, I understand." In the early days of Ji Ming Dynasty, who could not have guessed what Qin Hai had in mind. In his opinion, it was a good thing that Qin Hai was willing to talk to him in secret. This showed that Qin Hai was very interested in
Being interested and having a certain degree of confidence in this matter is much better than beating your chest loudly in front of everyone.
The disagreement that happened in the early days of Ji Ming Dynasty passed like this. The leader then issued a series of instructions for this materials exhibition. Naturally, Wang Hongsheng and others quickly took out their small notebooks and wrote them down one by one so that they could implement them one by one in the future and organize their units.
Employees "learn deeply". The leader's speeches may not always be the truth, but these speeches contain the leader's views or expectations on something. As a subordinate, it is very important to understand the leader's intentions. If you do things
Sometimes it goes against the leader's ideas. No matter how outstanding you do, it is difficult to get praise.
After the discussion, the chief stood up and left, but Ji Mingchu stayed. Wang Hongsheng knew that he and Qin Hai had something to say, so he arranged for someone to take them to a smaller room. After the staff poured tea for them both
, and left obediently, carefully closing the door after going out.
"Okay, now that there is no one else, can you tell me what you think?" Ji Mingchu took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a nice puff, and then said to Qin Hai.
Qin Haiduan sat upright on the sofa, making a respectful gesture. He did not dare to have any complaints about Ji Mingchu's behavior of smoking alone. After all, his status was far different from that of Ji Mingchu, and he had not done anything so far.
What achievements were enough to make Ji Mingchu offer him a cigarette? If it were Yang Xinyu, Wang Hongsheng and others in front of him, even if they knew that Qin Hai did not smoke, they would give him a symbolic courtesy.
"Mr. Ji, I would like to know the current progress of the research on No. 98 steel," Qin Hai said.
Ji Mingchu admired Qin Hai's performance quite a bit. A young man in his early 20s with no position or power could be calm and calm in front of him, and his words were logically without confusion. This fully shows that this young man has a lot of potential.
Strong self-confidence and good psychological quality. Only such a person seems to be able to bear heavy responsibilities.
"If you don't keep secrets, the current progress is very slow. Researchers are stuck at the level of No. 95 steel and it is difficult to move forward. It has been six or seven years since the successful development of No. 95 steel. I am worried that I
I can’t see the day when No. 98 steel is born.” Ji Mingchu said.
"There is no need to say this, Mr. Ji. You are stronger than me. I think you can live another twenty or thirty years at least. Don't worry, you will definitely be able to see the birth of No. 98 steel in your lifetime." Qin
Hai smiled and said something auspicious. The old man is already 80 years old this year. Living for another twenty or thirty years will not be considered a long life, so this prophecy should be regarded as a blessing rather than a curse. (To be continued...)
ps: By the way, the old general was only fictionalized for the needs of the plot. He does not have any prototype and does not attempt to refer to anyone. Please don’t guess. I emphasize that this book is just an industrial article.
