Qin Hai stood up with a smile, shook hands with Nim, asked him to sit on the sofa, and then looked at him silently, waiting for him to speak.
"Mr. Qin, if you are not busy, I hope I can introduce my research to you, if you are interested..." Nimu rubbed his hands and said hesitantly. After hearing about Qin Hai's generosity, he said
He came here specially to ask for alms. He had never interacted with Chinese people before and didn't know Chinese people's habits, so he was quite nervous.
Qin Hai smiled and said: "Mr. Nimu, don't worry, we are interested in all valuable research."
"That's great." Nim responded happily, "My research direction is magnetic polymer microspheres. First of all, please allow me to introduce you to this magical new magnetic material..."
Qin Hai interrupted his opening remarks unceremoniously and said: "I'm afraid this is not necessary. If I guess correctly, what you are talking about is based on the microencapsulation method, which combines organic polymers with magnetic inorganic substances to form
A new type of material that is magnetically responsive and has good processability."
"Uh..." Nim suddenly wilted. The technology of magnetic polymer microspheres is a very new and unconventional direction in the material circle. The total number of people working in this direction in the world probably uses one
You can count it with your hands. Some scholars who have been exposed to this field believe that this technology cannot produce any interesting results, so this field is currently in a state of shrinking.
In Nim, few people even in the United States know about magnetic polymer microspheres. In China, where the technological level is far behind the United States, probably no one has heard of this concept. He had planned to spend the money
It takes some time to explain the characteristics of this material to Qin Hai, and it is best to add some deception to fool Qin Hai so as to induce Qin Hai to provide some funds for this research.
But he never thought that Qin Hai had already described the characteristics of this technology clearly just after he expressed this concept. How could he open his mouth?
"Mr. Qin, have you ever heard of this technology?" Nim asked innocently.
Qin Hai said calmly: "I said that Daqin Group is a professional materials industry group. We are concerned about everything related to materials, including magnetic polymer microspheres. However, we have not yet carried out this aspect.
research, so I am interested in hearing your introduction to this technology."
"Since Mr. Qin has paid attention to this material, do you think the research on this material has a future?" Nim asked honestly. His own research was discontinued because it was considered a promising direction in the United States.
Source of funds. If Qin Hai also thinks that this technology has no value, then he really has no choice but to change his career.
Qin Hai said: "The technology of magnetic polymer microspheres has no successful application examples yet. So I can't say clearly whether it has a future. However, our group has a certain interest in various new technologies. If
Mr. Nimu can make some achievements in this area and obtain relevant patents, and we are still willing to pay some price for it."
"No, no, no, Mr. Qin, I believe this technology must have a future. I have considered that magnetic polymer microspheres have good processability. They can be formed on their surface through polymer modification.
Specific polar functional groups, thus giving it some special properties. If my idea is successful, then this material will be used in biomedicine, photoconductive communications and..."
Having said this, Nim shuddered slightly, hesitating whether it was appropriate to say the next words.
"Mr. Nimu, if you want to be a collaborator with us, then there shouldn't be anything we can't say between us." Qin Hai warned.
"Okay... Actually, the main use of this material is as a wave-absorbing material. Mr. Qin should be able to understand what I mean when I say this, right?" Nim said in a low voice.
The function of absorbing materials is to absorb the microwaves emitted by the radar, so that the radar cannot detect the target object. The main application direction of absorbing materials is in the military field. Including stealth aircraft, stealth ships, etc., all are passed through
The surface is coated with a layer of absorbing material to achieve the stealth effect against radar. Traditional absorbing materials are mainly inorganic ferrite. This material is only used on ships. However, there is a density issue when used on stealth aircraft.
Large defects will increase the weight of the stealth aircraft and affect the performance of the aircraft.
Due to the characteristics of polymer materials, the density of magnetic polymer microspheres is much smaller than that of ferrite materials. After modification, they can also have the advantages of wide frequency band, high absorption rate, etc., making them an ideal outer layer for stealth aircraft.
coating.
Nim's research was first funded by a company that provided stealth materials to the military, and its results were intended to be used in the newly developed stealth fighter jets by the United States. Who would have expected that during the military's bidding process, this company would fund Nim's research?
Enterprises were eliminated by other enterprises, and the research on this very promising organic magnetic material had to be abandoned halfway. Nimu has devoted several years of hard work in this direction. It had already seen the light of day, but because of such a
He was unable to continue due to business reasons, which made him very upset.
He once wrote a letter to the military, explaining the good properties of the material he was studying, hoping that the military would pay attention to this new material and give him the funds needed to complete the research. Unfortunately, his letter was not sent out
He sent several letters, but in the end they all came to nothing without any response. By chance, he heard someone within the military reveal that the military had already come to a conclusion on the choice of absorbing materials for stealth aircraft, and the winning bidder was
A company with great lobbying power. Although the performance of the absorbing materials provided by this company is far inferior to that of the materials Nimu is researching, it cannot stand up to someone above it...
Naturally, Nimu couldn't tell Qin Haiming about such a messy matter. After all, the family scandal should not be made public. However, if he wanted Qin Hai to be interested in this kind of material, he would have to come up with some powerful information. He knew that China has always been a country with ambitions.
As a country with modernized national defense, although China does not yet have stealth aircraft, relevant scientific research has definitely been carried out for a long time. He pointed out that magnetic polymer microspheres can be used as an excellent absorbing material, and he hopes that Qin Hai will be more interested in this material.
interested.
"Are you sure it can be used as an absorbing material?" Qin Hai asked calmly. He remembered that the 70x Institute was researching stealth aircraft, and the chief engineer Gu Qinyuan he knew was engaged in absorbing materials. If Nimu's materials
If it can really be used as a wave-absorbing material, then transferring this technology to the 70x Institute in the future is also a good choice. Of course, he would not tell Nimu such an idea.
"I'm sure." Nim said, "We have done experiments in the past, proving that this material has good wave absorption properties and is better than ferrite materials. What I am doing now is to improve its bandwidth, and
Solve the problems of its preparation process."
"If that's the case, it's interesting." Qin Hai said interestingly, but his tone was still indifferent, and he did not show the eager attitude as Nim hoped. "How much funds do you need to complete your project?"
research work?"
"1.5 million US dollars." Nim replied without hesitation. He originally planned to quote a higher figure, but after hearing Qin Hai explain the characteristics of magnetic polymer microspheres, he gave up the idea of asking for a high price.
, and instead chose a more reliable amount.
"So, what can I get?" Qin Hai was noncommittal about Nim's offer and asked another question.
"You have been able to obtain application patents for magnetic polymer microspheres, including patents for industrialized preparation processes. In other words, you are the only one in the world who can produce this material." Nim said.
"If it can't find an application field, even if I have the patent and preparation process, what's the use?" Qin Hai said with a frown.
"I think... it should be useful." Nimu tried to explain with a sad face.
Qin Hai looked at the poor scholar and smiled slightly. The technology of magnetic polymer microspheres has just started in this era. Affected by the technical level, its practical application is indeed still somewhat difficult. However, after
In a few years, this technology will gradually be perfected, and there will be a large number of application fields. Nimu can foresee this from a technical point of view, but cannot prove it. As a person with forward-looking vision, Qin Hai has
There is no doubt about this.
"Well, we are willing to fund this technology." Qin Hai stopped embarrassing Nimu and said, "Since we can't see the future of this technology yet, I can't provide you with so much funds for the time being.
.I can only provide 500,000 US dollars as the first phase of funding, and then add subsequent funds after seeing valuable phased results. Mr. Nim, do you think this is okay?"
"Absolutely," Nim replied, "I guarantee that after you invest $500,000, you will be able to see valuable results."
"$500,000 is also a lot of money. I hope we can monitor the use of funds. Mr. Nimu won't mind, right?" Qin Hai said again.
"You mean I need to give you detailed instructions on how to use the funds?" Nim asked.
Qin Hai shook his head and said: "This is not enough. We need to send people to participate in your research work to ensure that the funds are used in the right place, and the technology we finally obtain is indeed real technology."
"I think it's not that difficult." Nim said with a grimace. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
