Chapter 284 Gentlemen, listen to the dragon’s roar
Hearing the invitation from Mr. Qian himself, the eyes of a group of assistants were red.
They looked at Cao Weidong with envy and jealousy.
There seems to be only one word difference between deputy and assistant.
But the status in the research base is very different.
And they all know what project they are working on.
This is the great cause of forging swords for the country!
If it succeeds, it will definitely go down in history and be famous forever!
Now such a good opportunity is placed in front of Cao Weidong, waiting for him to choose.
Mr. Qian continued at this time.
"Xiao Cao, you are very talented in metallurgy. I really hope you can help me."
"We cannot tell you about the project we are researching before you sign a confidentiality agreement, but one thing is certain. This is a high-tech project related to national defense construction, and many domestic experts are involved."
Tell the truth.
The moment Mr. Qian opened his mouth to invite him, Cao Weidong was a little moved.
I came to the 1960s with memories of my past life.
Of course he knows.
Mr. Qian is conducting research on two bombs and one satellite.
The two bombs and one satellite are known as the nuclear shield of the Republic and have completely laid the cornerstone of China's national defense and security system.
It would be a supreme honor for Cao Weidong if he could participate in this research.
But this also means that he will have to live a semi-reclusive life under strict supervision for more than ten years.
After all, it is an important weapon of the country.
This security measure is the most basic.
After much hesitation, Cao Weidong still said.
"Supporting national defense construction is an obligation. I am willing to donate all my knowledge in metallurgy and metallurgical formulas for free."
"As for me, I'm used to it. If I really want to participate in a national defense research project, I'm afraid I won't be able to live that kind of life, so I'll forget it."
Mr. Qian is a little disappointed.
"Forget it, we'll postpone the discussion for a while."
"Xiao Cao, there are still some things I haven't fully understood about the titanium alloy and memory metal you developed. Why don't you stay here for the next few days? I want to discuss it with you for a few more days."
Cao Weidong naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
They chatted for a few more times, and then Zhang Bowen came over to invite someone.
Said that the chief had arranged lunch.
Invite experts to have a meal.
The canteen is next to the guest house.
When they arrived, the chief was already waiting here.
The chief pointed at the table full of dishes and said.
"The food is a bit simple. It's what soldiers usually eat. It's a bit crude, so please don't mind."
"Besides, I specially asked people to go to the city to get some wine, so we can have fun drinking it."
Mr. Qian said happily.
"I think these meals are very good. Now the people are gritting their teeth and tightening their belts to provide us with research. We are already very grateful. We must not give any more special treatment."
Cao Weidong said at this time.
"What Mr. Qian said is right or wrong."
"The ancients said that it is better to eat without vegetables than to eat without wine. How can we have a party without fine wine? Come and drink from the bar I brought."
The chief was a little surprised.
I originally thought that this young comrade named Cao Weidong was a boring gourd who only immersed himself in technology.
I didn't expect something like this to happen.
He looked at Cao Weidong curiously, wanting to see what kind of wine the other party could bring out.
Cao Weidong asked Zhang Bowen to help him find his carry-on luggage.
Soon, the luggage was delivered to you.
Cao Weidong opened his luggage and took out several bottles of Maotai in front of everyone's astonished eyes.
Usually, soldiers are good drinkers.
Especially in the military area.
Tobacco and alcohol are hard currency.
So he specially prepared good cigarettes and wine and prepared to come over and make friends.
The chief's eyes lit up.
"It's still Maotai with a short mouth. This is a rare item. I heard that it is also used as wine for state banquets."
Cao Weidong smiled.
"You know the goods, and it's not over yet. How can we drink Moutai without matching it with China."
As he said that, he took out two more Chinese.
A pack was given to everyone present.
Everyone was immediately beaming with joy, their faces blooming with joy.
This is good stuff.
The chief was completely shocked.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, where did you get so many good things?"
Cao Weidong said calmly.
"I have been to Yingjiang Country once before, and I had some good encounters there, and I just happened to have some foreign currency on hand."
"It's useless for me to keep these things anyway. After I returned home, I went to the foreign exchange store and replaced them all with these things."
Mr. Qian wondered.
"Have you ever been to Eagle Sauce?"
Cao Weidong nodded.
"Well. Just last month, I assisted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in carrying out a task. I can't elaborate on the details."
Cao Weidong briefly introduced the situation.
Mr. Qian was suddenly shocked and looked at Cao Weidong in shock.
"Last month? It was you?"
Just last month.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs submitted a large number of precision instrumentation technologies to the country.
As well as some cutting-edge research directions in the field of automobile manufacturing.
This information fills the gaps in relevant fields in the country.
As the top domestic powerhouse, Mr. Qian is naturally qualified to have access to this information.
And this information is of great benefit to his research in aerospace.
Therefore, Mr. Qian specifically asked someone to inquire.
I heard that a comrade named Cao risked his life and death to help the Ministry of Foreign Affairs obtain this information.
When he first heard the name Cao Weidong, he didn't think about it.
When I heard Cao Weidong say this, I immediately connected the two things.
He opened his mouth to speak.
Cao Weidong waved his hand gently, signaling to change the topic.
If you know, you know; if you don’t know, you don’t know.
Don't tell, don't ask.
This is discipline.
The leader was playing with China, then suddenly smiled and consciously joined the ranks of the Riddler.
"Let's eat first. Why are we thinking so much?"
After letting everyone sit down, he raised his glass and said:
"Eating food and drinking wine, let's drink together and wish our country will become more prosperous and stronger."
Cao Weidong raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
After dinner, the chief arranged a residence for Cao Weidong.
It happens to be opposite Mr. Qian’s residence.
Before Cao Weidong could rest, Mr. Qian approached Cao Weidong.
It is proposed that Cao Weidong join temporarily.
Responsible for the research and development of new materials.
Although titanium alloys and memory metals are already available, the materials required to cast Dongfeng's key components are far more than these.
They need more and more suitable metal materials.
Cao Weidong naturally agreed.
So Mr. Qian took him to the temporary office.
"Xiao Cao, this is where we discuss work. You are welcome to join."
Then Mr. Qian introduced everyone in the team to him.
Finally, he said to everyone.
"Comrade Cao Weidong has profound attainments in the field of metallurgy, and his knowledge is no less than that of front-line experts. He will assist us in research on materials. Now we ask Comrade Cao Weidong to say a few words."
Cao Weidong looked towards the audience.
There are a lot of people gathered here.
In addition to the assistants I met in the morning, there were also many experts and scholars who looked at me with great enthusiasm.
He said in a gentle manner.
"I am Cao Weidong. I have done some research in metallurgy. I hope to learn and make progress with you in the coming days."
Experts have said one after another.
"Comrade Xiao Cao, you're welcome. Let's learn and make progress together."
Cao Weidong stepped down with an implicit smile.
Just like a shy new student who is welcomed by the old students.
This is just an interlude, and the discussion and research are still continuing.
This is a discussion related to rare metal alloys.
He listened for a while, then walked directly to a blackboard and said unceremoniously.
"With all due respect, I think the direction of your discussion is completely wrong. It is impossible to obtain useful alloys using this method."
Cao Weidong’s domineering attitude shocked experts and scholars.
The experts and scholars stood up suddenly, pointed at Cao Weidong and cursed.
"Why is this young man so arrogant!"
"There is no real evidence, and you want to come over here to talk about it and get attention. I think you are in the wrong place."
This country has just emerged from the war.
In this era.
Both the people and experts and scholars have a strong spirit.
Academic exchange?
Doesn't exist.
Either convince people with reason, or convince people with force.
Cao Weidong insisted on his point of view and easily subdued several emotional old guys, but pointed at the blackboard and said.
"There are serious problems with your research direction. If you follow my research, it should be matched like this..."
The temporary conference room was noisy.
Mr. Qian looked on with a smile on his face.
Their argument is actually a dispute between gentlemen. After a quarrel here, they might end up smoking a cigarette butt together.
And communication can promote progress.
This is a good thing.
......
Since Cao Weidong joined the new materials research and development team, his daily work has been a verbal battle with experts and scholars from all walks of life.
He's like a betta fish in a school of fish.
In an instant, the entire school of fish started to move.
These experts and scholars are the elites of today's era.
They questioned him from all angles, trying to prove that Cao Weidong's thinking was wrong.
Cao Weidong needs to deal with these challenges.
In the process of asking questions and answering them, he gained a deeper understanding of metallurgy.
Cao Weidong is happy every day.
He feels that he is making progress every day.
On the other hand, those experts and scholars were completely shut down by Cao Weidong.
Cao Weidong's knowledge is as vast as the endless sea.
In front of him, I was like a small boat, small and powerless.
Of course, this does not mean that these experts are incompetent.
It can only be said that knowledge is limited by history.
Cao Weidong has seen the future with his own eyes and knows many material theories and concepts that only appeared in later generations. In addition, he has a portable space to cheat, so the ending is naturally self-evident.
Of course, such discussions are also beneficial to the research of the topic.
In just a few days, the research team determined the entire set of key construction metal materials and made two sets of alternative plans.
It can be said that the research results in just a few days exceed their previous research in several years.
Cao Weidong saw all this and knew that it was time for him to leave.
Further research will definitely involve Dongfeng’s key information.
At that time, it will be difficult to leave on your own.
So he found Mr. Qian.
Apply to him to leave.
"Since you want to leave, I won't stop you. Just fill out this confidentiality agreement."
Mr. Qian was not surprised at all.
Looking at Cao Weidong, he suddenly said.
"Xiao Cao, I have a suggestion."
"I plan to open a steel rolling mill in Wan'an County to provide special steel for our projects. I would like to ask you to be the director. Are you interested?"
