Yang Qingnan was not in a hurry. He nodded and said, "Yes, we have to maintain a scientific and rigorous attitude. It's understandable."
The mayor next to him, Liu Zhichuan, frowned, wondering what kind of medicine this major general was selling. Like Secretary Wang, he had a good grasp of the overall situation, but he was really not very knowledgeable in this technical aspect.
Not long after, Mi Xiuwen, wearing glasses, walked into the conference room and said to the leader in confusion, "Director?
Do you have anything to do with me?"
"MiGong, you're here just in time. This is the leader of the army assembly, Minister Yang. He wants to understand some technical issues with you. Come and talk to him."
The director of the steel factory waved to Mi Xiuwen and said with a smile.
Yang Qingnan stood up enthusiastically, shook hands with Mi Xiuwen and said, "Hello Mi Gong, I heard that you researched the new alloy steel products produced by the steel plant. I want to provide you with some information. See if you can
Can’t we produce the kind of steel our military wants?”
Mi Xiuwen nodded, took the thick stack of information that Yang Qingnan took out of his bag and said, "Okay, let me take a moment to look at it first."
"No hurry, no rush, just take your time and watch, I'll wait for you."
Yang Qingnan sat back down, obviously looking forward to it.
In fact, everyone in the conference room was very curious and puzzled at this time.
What I'm curious about is what kind of alloy steel Yang Qingnan wants, but what I don't understand is why a big boss like him from the military assembly department wouldn't hesitate to come to the steel factory to investigate in person?
Isn't it just purchasing some special steel for military use? Do you pay such attention to its use?
At first, after receiving the thick information, Mi Xiuwen looked very calm. However, as he became more and more immersed in reading, his eyes gradually became serious, and sometimes he even began to think deeply. From time to time, he looked up at Yang Qingnan and opened his mouth.
I wanted to say something, but in the end I lowered my head again and continued reading.
After watching for about ten minutes, when everyone sitting in the conference room became a little impatient, Mi Xiuwen put down the materials in his hands, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "Minister Yang, I
Can I have a few words with you alone?"
Yang Qingnan suddenly laughed. He nodded almost without hesitation, "Of course there is no problem. Let's go chat where there is no one around."
Amid everyone's puzzled looks, Yang Qingnan accompanied Mi Xiuwen out of the conference room without even saying hello, and found an empty office to sit down.
After closing the door, Mi Xiuwen smiled bitterly and said, "Minister Yang, I have taken a rough look at your information, and I understand a little bit about your requirements.
To be honest... the types of steel you requested, with the current equipment and technology of our factory, it is probably extremely rare to be able to produce one of the lowest-end ones.
If my analysis is correct, these steel materials are all needed to build naval ships, and some of them are used to build some kind of extra-large hulls..." "It doesn't need to be said so euphemistically, in fact, you can use meters to build your level.
, I’m not surprised to see the uses for these steels.”
Yang Qingnan smiled and said, "Actually, I'm not afraid that you will leak the secret if you find out. After all, many steel mills know about this and have contacted me.
Sigh... If our military industrial enterprises could produce, I would not deliberately come to private enterprises to seek procurement.
Yes, the special steel materials found in these materials are all materials needed to build a certain type of important extra-large hull."
Although Yang Qingnan did not clearly say what type of ship it was, Mi Xiuwen had basically made a judgment in his mind and could feel the urgency and importance of the material he spoke of.
"For so many years, China has been rejuvenated and its economy has taken off, but it has never been able to grasp the high-precision and cutting-edge technology."
Yang Qingnan sighed softly and said, "No country will give up its core technology to others. Our country's high-tech and cutting-edge weapons technology is still too lacking. We often want to organize the construction of those important weapons of the country, but we often suffer from the lack of technology.
This kind of large ship is the top priority in building an ocean-going navy. The country has long wanted to build it, and the funds are in place, but the technology has never been able to make a breakthrough.
Seeing that year after year passed, the General Assembly Department was almost thinking about it, but there was still no solution."
Mi Xiuwen nodded with deep understanding and said, "Indeed, technology cannot be acquired and mastered overnight. It is developed through countless accumulations over many years. What matters is that it comes naturally, but it cannot be achieved overnight.
Unless... a genius comes out of nowhere, or plagiarizes foreign technology and copies it.
But how easy is it to do this?"
"So, when I saw the alloy steel you offered for bidding, and found that it met one of the most basic requirements of an important ship, I quickly came to inspect it. I hope your steel plant can work hard to continue research and strive to go further and develop
Produce the most needed high-strength special alloy steel!”
Yang Qingnan looked at Mi Xiuwen hopefully, and what he answered was Mi Xiuwen shaking his head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry, Minister Yang. Although I would also like to be able to produce top-notch alloy steel for the military to flex its muscles, it is impossible for a small factory like ours to do it in terms of technology and equipment."
Mi Xiuwen shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm sorry for making your trip in vain."
Hearing Mi Xiuwen's answer, Yang Qingnan did not show any disappointment. Instead, he said, "Migong, of course I know how high-end technology and complex equipment are needed to produce such alloy steel, but we can't produce it now."
It doesn’t mean that we can’t produce it in the future! I can wait, five years if not ten years, ten years if not twenty years, and I can even apply for the military to take special care of the steel plant and help introduce any needed equipment! As long as you are willing to continue to deepen
If we continue our research, there will definitely be hope!”
Mi Xiuwen looked at him suspiciously and said in confusion, "Minister Yang, I would like to ask, why do you have so much confidence in our factory?
If you want to invest, wouldn’t the success rate be higher if you invest in national-level steel plants?”
"The reason why I have confidence in you is naturally for a reason!"
Yang Qingnan hurriedly explained. After flipping through the information, he found a page and pointed at it, "Look, the properties of the special alloy steel mentioned in this information are the products of your factory. Although the alloy steel currently produced is of low
strength, but as long as we continue to research this steel technology, I believe there is a great chance of success."
After Mi Xiuwen lowered his head and read the pages of information carefully, he finally understood why Yang Qingnan took the initiative to come to the door. He smiled and said, "Indeed, the low-strength steel produced by our factory has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, impact resistance and antimagnetic resistance.
It has advantages such as durability, but... it is too difficult to improve the strength of steel."
"No, as long as it has these characteristics, it is a good steel for ships! As long as we can continue to study hard and increase the strength to the required height, it can be used to make important ship hulls!"
Yang Qingnan said excitedly, "I have traveled all over the country for more than half a year. Only the technical steel from your steel plant is the most suitable for these characteristics. It is just not strong enough. As long as you work hard, it will work! Mi Gong, you and your technical team
If we can develop this kind of steel, how difficult is it to improve its strength?”
Mi Xiuwen was stunned and said with some hesitation, "Actually... Minister Yang, you have misunderstood. The new technology used in our steel plant and the new alloy steel produced were not actually invented by me and the technical team in the plant."
"To tell you the truth, the steel mills were in recession, and the city took the lead in the shareholding restructuring. Some people invested in technology and provided these new steel formulas, and then they were produced.
We technicians only play a role in debugging and mass production, the real technology does not belong to our factory."
"What did you say?"
When Yang Qingnan heard this, he froze in place in disbelief. It took him a while to react and said, "In other words, this steel technology was provided to your factory by someone else?"
