As soon as Qin Hai saw off Ji Mingchu and returned to the exhibition hall, Chen Heqian and Li Linguang came forward to greet him, sandwiching him on the left and right.
"I heard that Mr. Ji kept you here specially. What did he say to you? Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really enviable to be able to chat with Mr. Ji alone for such a long time." Li Linguang is a carefree person. What's on his mind?
He said it directly.
Chen Heqian also followed up and said: "Yes, Mr. Ji is highly respected and has always been an old general we respect very much. I heard that after he retired, he has been concerned about the equipment construction of the army. He is looking for you, it should be something related to the military industry.
?”
"It is indeed related to the military industry, but it is also related to the two teachers." Qin Hai replied with a smile.
"What does it have to do with us?" Chen Heqian and Li Linguang both asked in surprise.
Qin Haidao: "Lao Ji hopes that I can participate in the research and development of No. 98 steel. Do you think this matter has anything to do with you?"
Chen Heqian and Li Linguang are both engaged in metal materials, and their main research field is steel. Qin Hai plans to get involved in the development of No. 98 steel, so he naturally invites these two people who have the closest relationship with him and whose scientific research level is also at the forefront of the country.
Experts will take charge.
Ultra-high-strength ship plate steel is mainly used to manufacture nuclear submarines and aircraft carriers, both of which are important weapons of the country, and their significance is no less than the two bombs and one satellite of the year. If Chen and Li can stand out in this work, it will be
It would be of great benefit for Chang + Feng to improve their academic and political status in the domestic materials industry. How could Qin Hai give this opportunity to others?
Different from Qin Hai's optimism, Chen Heqian knew how deep the pit of No. 98 steel was. He frowned and said: "Xiao Qin, you have taken on a difficult matter. Tell me, Mr. Ji hopes you will participate.
What part of the work? Maybe Lao Li and I can give you some ideas."
Qin Haidao: "Mr. Ji hopes that I can take charge of this research. I have issued a military order. If I cannot produce the finished product of No. 98 steel within three years, I will go to see him."
"I'll go back quickly and get you a piece of good steel to make a sharp knife." Li Linguang said half-jokingly, "You are seeking death by issuing this military order. No one can save you."
Given their positions, how could Chen and Li not understand the level of domestic steel materials? They were not very clear about the research status of No. 98 steel, but logically they wanted to complete the research on this steel in three years.
It was an impossible task. Qin Hai actually dared to issue a military order in front of the old general. Although no one really wanted his head in the end, his credibility in front of the old general was destroyed.
"Teacher Chen, Teacher Li, can't you just believe me for once?" Qin Hai looked at the two of them and said easily.
"We have trusted you more than once." Li Linguang retorted matter-of-factly.
Qin Haidao: "So, have you ever been disappointed?"
"..." Only then did Li Linguang realize that he was surrounded by Qin Hai. He thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "Don't say it, we really haven't been disappointed."
"That's right." Qin Hai said proudly, "This is what I, Xiao Qin, promised. When will I let you two teachers down?"
Chen Heqian nodded and said slowly: "So, are you confident about this matter?"
"On my own, I can't say that I'm confident. However, with you two teachers here, I'm not afraid anymore." Qin Hai said slyly.
"He is relying on the two of us." Li Linguang smiled and said to Chen Heqian, "Maybe when he agreed to Ji Lao, it was under the banner of the two of us. When he fails to complete the task in the future, he will definitely take advantage of both of us.
Go on a business trip."
"I don't think Xiao Qin is like that." Chen Heqian knew that Li Linguang was joking, but he still defended Qin Hai very seriously. After that, he asked Qin Hai: "Xiao Qin, tell the truth. Can you have
How sure are you? What do you need me and Lao Li to do?"
Qin Hai told the two people his specific ideas for research on No. 98 steel. When it came to key technical links, he briefly mentioned his research ideas to prove that he was not without purpose. Chen Heqian and Li Linguang stopped teasing.
With a look on his face, he listened attentively, adding a few words from time to time, or asking Qin Hai for his deeper thoughts, or adding to Qin Hai's ill-considered points.
As they listened, the expressions on the two people's faces gradually relaxed. They discovered that if they could follow Qin Hai's idea, it would be possible to develop No. 98 steel within three years. However,
During this period, there were countless experiments to be done, and the expenditure on people, money, and materials was astronomical.
"How much money can the country invest in doing this?" Chen Heqian asked.
"Not a penny." Qin Hai replied. In fact, what he said was a bit biased. A group of materials technicians from the Navy are the main force in this research work, and their wages are paid by the state.
, the military cannot let Qin Hai bear the rent, water and electricity bills involved in the experiment. From this aspect, the country still bears part of the expenses.
Chen Heqian also knew Qin Hai's calculation. He asked worriedly: "If the country doesn't pay, does that mean your Daqin Group has to pay? This is not a small amount of money. Xiao Qin, what do you do?"
Are you mentally prepared?"
Qin Hai nodded and said: "I expressed my position to Mr. Ji that our group is willing to bear this money. Mr. Ji said that he can get me some policies from the country. If these policies are used well, it will be enough to earn a profit."
In return for my investment. Therefore, the two teachers do not have to worry about money issues."
"Then what do you need us to do?" Li Linguang asked.
"Be the chief scientist of this project." Qin Hai replied without thinking.
"Two chiefs?" Li Linguang asked sarcastically.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Just two chiefs. My idea is that Teacher Chen is the chief of chemical composition research of materials, and Teacher Li is the chief of smelting technology. In addition, we need to find an expert who understands steel rolling...
…”
"Isn't that Lao Yue?" Li Linguang interjected, "Yue Kun's main research field is rolling mills. By the way, No. 98 steel is a thick plate, and our country has always been blank in terms of large-format thick plate rolling mills. Lao Yue can
It can be regarded as a big project. If you do it well, you will be a first-level figure in Taishan and Beidou."
"If what we two do is done well, we can call ourselves Taishan Beidou." Chen Heqian reminded Li Linguang in a low voice. In fact, a status like Taishan Beidou depends on knowledge and opportunity, and China has never
In the absence of capable people, the key is who can get an opportunity to display their talents. Qin Hai made Chen Heqian and Li Linguang the chief scientists of two sub-projects, which in fact gave them a pie-in-the-sky opportunity.
"Do it!" Li Linguang clenched his fist and said, "I will trust Xiao Qin again and see what kind of surprise Xiao Qin can bring us. Making steel for warships is a challenging thing. I
I’m willing to give it a try.”
Qin Haidao: "Teacher Li, don't be impatient. Let's discuss it together after the exhibition is over, and then go meet with the scientific researchers of the 33rd Naval Research Institute to determine the working model."
"Yes, this kind of steel is indeed produced by 33. Their director and chief engineer are very familiar with me." Chen Heqian said beside him.
"That would be even better, it's easy to talk to acquaintances." Qin Hai commented with a smile.
After talking about No. 98 steel, Qin Hai asked Li Linguang: "Mr. Li, I was not here just now. How was the situation at the exhibition?"
"The effect is very good." Li Linguang said, "Almost everyone feels it is an eye-opener. I also heard a few people say that they will bring their children tomorrow and that they will let their children go to college to learn materials in the future."
"This is all thanks to Xiao Qin's idea of this format. This is called entertaining and educating, and it is the highest level of science popularization." Chen Heqian also praised it repeatedly.
Before that, when Qin Hai first talked about this form, Chen Heqian was still a little hesitant. He always felt that science popularization should have an academic atmosphere and not be like a playground. Now that he has seen the actual results, Chen Heqian’s thoughts
Then things changed. His strength is that he can admit his own shortcomings. He is not like some great scholars who know they are wrong but still carry it to the end. They just want to save face and not be unreasonable.
"With the development of society, the pace of life of ordinary people is getting faster and faster. There is no market for that kind of didactic science popularization. We should be good at using multimedia means to popularize scientific knowledge." Qin Hai concluded, and then he
Then he turned to Li Linguang and said, "Teacher Li, I'm not just asking about the reactions of the ordinary visitors at the exhibition. Is there any reaction from the corporate representatives we invited?"
"Haha, it turns out that Xiao Qin is thinking about making money." Li Linguang then came back to his senses. He pointed to a place not far ahead and said: "Xiao Wang is in charge of the negotiations between the company representatives.
Look, her booth over there is almost collapsed."
"That's it." Qin Hai was overjoyed. He bowed his hands to Li Linguang and Chen Heqian and said, "Teachers, let's chat slowly. I'll go to Xiaochen's place to have a look. She's not a professional. I'm really worried about her coping.
I can’t answer the inquiries from these companies.”
Seeing Qin Hai striding away, Li Linguang shook his head and said to Chen Heqian: "This Xiao Qin is full of ideas about making money. With such an exhibition, he can also sell the group's things for personal gain.
.In my opinion, if he could use this intelligence in scientific research, he might even win the Nobel Prize."
Chen Heqiandao: "At the very beginning, I also advised him like this. However, the practice in the past few years has made me understand that maybe the path Xiao Qin chose is the right one. It is absolutely impossible to do material research without money.
"As an entrepreneur, Xiao Qin has made far greater contributions to materials science than as a scholar."
"Who says it's not?" Li Linguang took back his previous words and said with a smile: "Without the huge economic strength of Daqin Group, there would be no Anhe School of Materials today. Almost half of the exhibitions in our exhibition are from the School of Materials
