"Do you really want to do research on coal liquefaction with me, or are you just looking for an excuse?"
Hai Qingwen looked at Gao Fan and asked seriously.
Gao Fan smiled and said: "It depends on whether Teacher Hai is willing to take me. However, whether Teacher Hai is willing to take me or not, I can help Teacher Hai find a place to conduct experiments."
"What do you mean?" Hai Qingwen didn't understand.
Gao Fan said: "As I said just now, my father is the director of the Canghai Fertilizer Factory in Maolin Province. Our factory may recently undergo technical transformation to convert ammonium into urine, and some of the original production equipment will be eliminated.
"If we are willing, we can contact our factory and use our factory as an experimental base. Our original ammonia synthesis device can be used as an experimental device for coal liquefaction with slight modifications.
"We produce synthetic ammonia, and the syngas we use is carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are also the raw materials for synthetic diesel and gasoline. You can do coal-to-liquid experiments with us at almost no cost."
"You mean, you can convince your father to accept us doing experiments there?"
Hai Qingwen could hardly believe his ears.
How could he not understand what Gao Fan said? In fact, the process flow of indirect coal liquefaction is quite similar to that of synthetic ammonia. The previous steps are to gasify coal to generate syngas composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
Fertilizer plants use syngas to generate synthetic ammonia. If some equipment is changed and different catalysts are used, the syngas can also be used to generate diesel and gasoline. This is the principle of coal-to-liquids.
Hai Qingwen has always wanted to find a fertilizer factory to experiment with some of his coal-to-liquid ideas. But fertilizer plants have production tasks. Who is willing to play with you? Besides, the equipment for coal-to-liquids is different from that of synthetic ammonia.
, the cost of purchasing these equipment is as high as hundreds of thousands, which is not something Hai Qingwen can afford.
Therefore, this matter cannot be continued.
Gao Fan's suggestion sounds somewhat feasible. Gao Fan's father is the director of a fertilizer factory. If he can nod, the problem won't be big.
In terms of equipment, according to Gao Fan, they will eliminate an old set of ammonia synthesis equipment. If it is modified on this basis and converted into a coal-to-liquid experimental device, the cost will not be hundreds of thousands, and it may only require
Just tens of thousands...
Well, to Hai Qingwen, tens of thousands of yuan is not "just". His monthly salary is only more than 100 yuan, so how can he call tens of thousands of yuan "just".
However, the investment dropped from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands, which gave Hai Qingwen hope. If he could apply for a certain project, or find some luck from other colleagues, tens of thousands of dollars might be enough to solve the problem.
At that time, he can use this device to verify his ideas. Even if there are problems with his ideas, he can discover these problems during the experiment and make corrections.
This is far better than sitting in the office and reading literature like he is now.
"You don't want to use this method to ask me to help you apply for exemption?" Hai Qingwen asked.
The pie was too big and the filling was too fragrant, which gave Hai Qingwen the smell of conspiracy. If Gao Fan promised Hai Qingwen to use some principles in exchange, Hai Qingwen would not be able to accept it.
Professors have integrity.
It is said that professors have moral integrity.
Gao Fan smiled innocently: "Teacher Hai, you are overthinking. I just want you to help me get a chance to take the exemption exam. Whether I can pass it depends on my exam results. If I don't have this
I don't even dare to raise this requirement.
"As for going to our factory to do experiments, it's just because I heard that Teacher Hai couldn't find a place to do experiments, and we have such conditions there.
"My father is also a university graduate, and he has always been very supportive of scientific research. If professors from Peking University can come to our factory to do experiments, all the cadres and workers in our factory will feel very honored."
"Oh, I misunderstood." Hai Qingwen's face turned red.
Their children just ask you to help them say hello to the academic staff. They have the strength and confidence to pass the exempted examination.
I introduced you to the experimental site just out of respect for scientific research. It represents the admiration of thousands of cadres and workers in a fertilizer factory for academics. Look where you have gone.
Does this count as treating villains with the heart of a gentleman... Hey, something seems wrong. Could it be that the opposite is true?
Although he said it was a misunderstanding, Hai Qingwen still took Gao Fan's exam seriously and confirmed that Gao Fan's chemistry skills were very solid before taking him to the academic affairs office of the department.
"You said you taught yourself all your majors?"
Zheng Xiuhua, the academic secretary of the Chemistry Department, stared at Gao Fan with her wise eyes and asked, with heavy pressure in her eyes.
Zheng Xiuhua is 45 years old this year. He came to the Department of Chemistry when he was 18 years old and assisted the then old academic secretary in academic affairs.
When he was 20 years old, the old academic secretary retired, and Zheng Xiuhua became the academic secretary of the Department of Chemistry, where he has been until now. During the movement years, the professors in the department were sent to the May 7th Cadre School, and Zheng Xiuhua also followed him, working in the countryside for a few years.
Over the years, he has become more and more aggressive.
The position of academic secretary requires a battle of wits and courage with students. Zheng Xiuhua believes that no student who wants to be naughty can escape her eyes.
However, freshmen will be intimidated by Zheng Xiuhua's stern appearance. Anyone who has stayed in the chemistry department for a year knows that this Aunt Zheng is actually a bitch. There is something wrong with the students. She is better than the two presidents.
The teacher in charge of student work is also enthusiastic. She has done dozens of times to help poor students by taking food, clothing, etc. from her own home.
At this time, looking at Gao Fan brought by Hai Qingwen, Zheng Xiuhua's thought was that this student must have done well in middle school and was spoiled by teachers and parents.
Apply for exemption from all courses.
You said you taught yourself all the courses, which may be true.
This is Peking University after all, and some of the students who can get into Peking University are mediocre. It is nothing new to use the summer vacation to preview university courses in advance.
But if you have studied it yourself, can you be sure that you understand everything?
Without the guidance of a teacher, can you learn anything solidly?
If self-study is useful, why should we run schools?
Also, what an impetuous student would be if he doesn’t want to go to class when he first enters school. If such a student is not given a good blow, he will become even more proud in the future, and a good seedling may be ruined.
"I have studied on my own. I don't believe that Teacher Zheng can test me with a paper."
Gao Fan was not intimidated by Zheng Xiuhua's gaze, he replied calmly.
"It's already the second week, where can I find the exemption papers for you?" Zheng Xiuhua said, "However, I can find someone to test you. If you fail his test, just go back to class!"
