Chapter 494 One-tenth of Carbon Fiber

Young people in the 21st century, as long as they pay a little attention to the products on the market, there is no one who doesn't know carbon fiber.

Nine out of ten most expensive sports products can be related to carbon fiber. Bicycles, tennis rackets, golf clubs, fishing rods, surfboards, baseball bats, bows and arrows, ball soles, climbing poles... But for all high-strength, high modulus and light weight equipment, the best must be made of carbon fiber. Corrosion resistance is an extra gift. In the face of carbon fiber, the former king aluminum alloy had to be thrown out of more than eight streets. If anyone disguised as noble with aluminum alloy products, it is most appropriate to immediately reply to the "weak explosion". The only thing that restricts the development of carbon fiber is the high price and low production capacity.

This was even more obvious in 1993. The T300 carbon fiber produced by Dongli Company is sold for 30,000 yen per kilogram at this time. It is expensive, not to mention that it is used by Chinese people, but Japanese people can't afford it. At this time, the world's largest producer of carbon fiber is Japan, with an annual output of less than 8,000 tons, while the largest consumer is the United States.

Even Americans like big dogs can't use carbon fiber at will. In addition to the military sector with less than 2 consumption, the U.S. space program and Boeing's aircraft are the main sales targets of carbon fiber.

Although the GDP is not high, the bright future of carbon fiber is in everyone's eyes.

If monocrystalline silicon is the most important material in the late 20th century, then carbon fiber is the most important material in traditional industries. Automotive industry, electric power industry, construction industry, electronics industry, chemical industry... Open the modern industry manual casually, there are few industries where carbon fiber cannot be changed.

If you make a science fiction film, it will never go wrong to using carbon fiber as the main material of the city. If there are enough fronts in the future, it is theoretically no problem to build a building thousands of meters high with carbon fiber. Also dig down a few kilometers, and most of them also need to be supported by carbon fiber.

In the 1970s, the scientific community was very clear about the future of carbon fiber. However, it was not until the early 1990s that the industry had a unified understanding of the future of carbon fiber, because in the early 1990s, carbon fiber was finally industrialized in large quantities.

However, except for the scientific community and related industrialists, ordinary people in the 1990s had little knowledge of carbon fiber. The legendary carbon fiber golf club, which will be sold for millions of yen at this time, is equivalent to the pension of a Japanese worker, and several ordinary people can afford it.

Before submitting the document to Su Cheng, although Yang Ming read it once, how could he know that carbon fiber was such a demon without a professional background?

And how could Sucheng not know the huge value of carbon fiber. Dongli Company, which was the first to do this thing, will have more than 30,000 employees in the future, which is more than the current Dahua Industry.

With the small Japanese enterprise system, without stable and huge profits, how dare you recruit so many employees?

If you can really master the manufacturing technology of carbon fiber, it will not only open a big gold mine, but also be equivalent to an amulet.

No matter what the idea was, Sucheng put down the work of Kazakhstan and returned to the Dahua headquarters in Shanghai as soon as possible.

Dahua Laboratory is still located in Dahua headquarters.

It is the only subordinate branch that still shares the location with the group headquarters. This is because it is not easy to relocate the laboratory, and also because of the importance of Dahua Laboratory.

After more than 6 years of accumulation, and Sucheng is close to crazy poaching and recruitment, there are now more than 3,000 researchers in Dahua Laboratory. Even if it is not comparable to the international oil crocodiles, among the independent units in China, it also belongs to Scorpion Laxiang, which is the only one. The number of patents per year is more than 10 times more than that of the three-barrel oil research institute.

Of course, the number of patents in a normal research institute in any country is only a lot more, but in China, sufficient research funds and excellent employee treatment still attract unbelievable attention and great attraction.

It can be said that Su Cheng not only borrowed the experience and ideas learned from later generations to work in Dahua Laboratory, but also invested his dream in it.

In those years, when he graduated from college, he didn't want to get a job like Microsoft or Google. But in that era, when he graduated from an ordinary university, he was just a dream at most.

With China's research conditions, several young people can do research at ease and comfort.

After having capital, one of the things that Sucheng has always done is to transform the Dahua Laboratory.

The procurement committee, evaluation committee, academic committee and other institutions have systematically changed China's research mechanism, at least within Dahua, to kill the factors of academic corruption...

The experimental funds and staff treatment of Dahua Laboratory solve the worries of researchers from a personal perspective. Although Dahua Industry dares not say that it is the same as researchers in Europe and the United States in terms of nominal salary, the cost of living in China is low.

In order to create a higher quality of life with less money, Dahua Experimental has even established an independent branch to solve all the worries of Dahua researchers from children to the elderly while doing independent accounting. And the company is the most strictly managed branch of Dahua Industry. Although it has not been clearly stated, it is the servants and housekeepers who are recruited and trained.

Beautiful office environment, fair assessment system, good treatment and excellent living treatment, coupled with overseas public relations companies, is the unique trick of Dahua Industry to attract researchers at home and abroad. In the era of Microsoft's rise, the luxury office in Silicon Valley has not yet formed a trend, and Dahua Industry is not the world leader. Yes.

Moreover, in the era of civil servants with an annual salary of more than 2,000 yuan, the average monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan, high salary of more than 10,000 yuan and dividends, the ** power of poor Chinese researchers can be imagined.

If the Chinese researcher in 2000 solved the primary problem of carbon fiber, Su Cheng was not surprised that the Dahua researcher in 1993 solved the primary problem of carbon fiber.

Although the mood is still worried about gains and losses.

The Mercedes-Benz drove all the way straight into the downstairs of Dahua Laboratory.

Li Weixiang waited below with a smile on his face.

This technician, who used to be able to draw 20 drawings a day, after the baptism of Dahua culture, also began to change his face and his mouth was bright.

The laboratory is a gold-swallowing dragonfly. No laboratory can really be responsible for its profits and losses, especially on Chinese soil, and no one cares about patents at all. In 1993, China has not even become a member of the Patent Cooperation Treaty. Dahua Laboratory can continue to run, relying on Dahua Industry for blood transfusion.

As the boss of Dahua Laboratory, if Li Huanxiang continues to be bored, he will not last long. Therefore, Li Weixiang is still arrogant on the surface, but his heart is actually very full.

It will only be a carbon fiber project with eyebrows. If it is added to the document to Su Cheng, it can show that Li Fanxiang is alive.

If he writes an official document like this and doesn't need Su Cheng to speak, the board of the academic committee will be called first. But that document is required by Yang Ming. It is only the design of building a house for Sucheng. It can't be regarded as the activity of Dahua Industry, and the academic committee of the headquarters can't control it.

On the other hand, the probability of such a document being noticed by Su Cheng is greater than that of other documents.

The same idea may also exist in smart glass, special-shaped PVC and other projects, but Su Cheng did not pay attention to it. He greeted Li Xiangxiang and asked, "How far has the research of carbon fiber reached?"

Li Yuxiang didn't expect him to be so direct and said in surprise, "We have tried out an isotropic asphalt short fiber with a tensile strength of about 800Mpa and a modulus of 70Gpa."

The light quality and corrosion resistance of carbon fiber are inherited from raw materials, and the requirements are not too strict. After all, with a lot of light quality and corrosion-resistant materials, the real ** of carbon fiber is still reflected in tensile strength and modulus.

The former is the strength commonly understood by people, and the latter can be understood as elasticity. Judging from the fishing rod, the higher the tensile strength of the carbon fiber, the heavier the fish, and the larger the modulus, the greater the bending of the fishing rod.

Su Cheng meditated on 800Mpa and 70Gpa, and did not have a perceptual understanding, so he asked, "What is the data of Dongli's carbon fiber?"

"Which one are you asking?" Li Xiangxiang smiled and wanted to change the topic.

"The best." Su Cheng cut off his evil thoughts.

Li Weixiang coughed twice and hesitated for a moment before saying, "The tensile strength and modulus of carbon fiber cannot be double high. It must be one high, and the other is lower."

"Say the data."

"Look at your hurry." Li Weixiang just didn't say anything.

"Hurry up." Su Cheng is familiar with him, and he doesn't have to give any face at all.

Li Weixiang smiled. His face was practiced early, and the researcher next to him was embarrassed. He stood up and said, "Now the world's best carbon fiber, with the highest tensile strength is 7 G, and the highest modulus can be 600 Gpa."

Compared with the carbon fiber of Dahua Industry, the difference between the two data is 10 times. Although Su Cheng does not know the detailed information in this regard, he has a vague understanding. 3 times is probably a more promising product, and 10 times, it is difficult to get a large-scale promotion.

No wonder there is a physical object, and Li Yuxiang also said cautiously with certain results.

Su Cheng turned his head and smiled and thought: His requirements are too high. If he can really reach one-third of the highest level, won't he catch up with Britain and the United States? At this time, the United Kingdom and the United States are really not excellent in the production of carbon fiber.

Li Huanxiang observed Su Cheng's expression. When he finished gritting his teeth, he whispered, "This is Dr. Wang Yun. The carbon fiber project was hosted by him. It only took him two years to get the current results. The carbon fiber he just introduced has 7G tensile strength, and the modulus is much smaller, only 400. With a modulus of 600G, the tensile strength should not be too high.

600 is also 8 times the level of 70. Li Huanxiang knows that his persuasion is weak. He is so busy: "We are only the beginning stage of research now. If we can provide more research funds to reach 7G, I dare not say that 3G can still be done. Is it Dr. Wang Yun?"

Wang Yun is a weak scholar, about 30 years old, wearing glasses like the bottom of a wine bottle, and his eyes are slightly swollen. He glanced at Li Huanxiang slowly, and then whispered, "Our goal is to make 1.5G first."

Li Xiangxiang was cold at that time. He doesn't know what to say!

Su Cheng laughed out loud, and Yang Ming also laughed quickly, and there was a lot of laughter around him.

"Lao Wang is so honest." Li Weixiang finally said a sentence.

Wang Yun was unmoved by the laughter around him and said calmly, "What we do is asphalt-based carbon fiber, which is different from that of polyacrylonitrile-based. The modulus of this carbon fiber is higher and the tensile strength is lower. From the current heterosexual asphalt short fiber to anisotropic asphalt short fiber, it is The intensity can be increased from 800 to 1500, and it's hard to say more.

"Are you sure it will be upgraded to 1.5G?"

"A maximum of one year, and the modulus can be increased to 230, which is an international standard." Wang Yun seems to be full of confidence.

"Well, then I'll wait for the good sound. Let's go and see the lab. Sucheng is naturally based on encouragement. Anyway, people have made carbon fiber, and the weak performance can be expected. As for the current investment of Dahua Industry, I'm afraid it is a hundred times less than that of foreign professional companies. For example, this kind of money-burning material game, if you don't have money, you can't talk about development, and you can't talk about leapfrog development.

Li Weixiang was a little more relaxed. He took the lead in the lead and said with a smile, "Su Dong, our carbon fiber data is poor, this is still a patent application, and the patents of all countries have been applied for."

"Oh? Is it commercially valuable?"

"Of course there is." Li Weixiang said excitedly, "We have given the information to the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Strategy and asked them to help study it. Our carbon fiber still has certain advantages."

"What are the advantages?"

"The heat transfer is good, and the performance of electronic shielding is good. In addition, our fiber is leached, the fiber is short, and the manufacturing cost is low. It is expected that the cost of factory production is only half of the current hot-selling carbon fiber."

"Half." For carbon fibers that have just entered the market, the cost is important, but the performance decline is too serious. Su Cheng thought about it and asked, "How much will the cost be after reaching the 1.5G level?"

"Maybe three-quarters." What Li Xiang said was quite conservative.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said: It's not unacceptable. Now it depends on your research progress.

Li Fuxiang laughed and said, "The progress is piled up with money."

"How much do you plan to have?" Su Cheng's performance was very indifferent.

Li Huanxiang was quite confused. The research funds have always been difficult to ask for. The legend of giving as much as much as possible does not really exist. He and Wang Yun looked at each other and said tentatively, "As according to the progress Dr. Wang just said, 10 million is almost enough."

This is definitely a lion's mouth. Although Dahua Laboratory is rich, there are quite a lot of projects. More than 3,000 researchers have presided over nearly 1,000 projects. If a project is approved by 10 million, won't it cost tens of billions of yuan every year?

Carbon fiber has always been made by the Petrochemical and Coal Research Institute in China, including countless coal mines under Shenhua Group and the former Ministry of Coal. I'm afraid that there are dozens of special researches, and the funding of these research institutes can exceed one million. In contrast, although Dahua Laboratory has a lot of funds, its main business is still petroleum exploration, exploitation and petrochemical industry. Carbon fiber only belongs to the edge project in the last category. With such a large investment of 10 million yuan, it is definitely super-level.

However, Sucheng is clear about the future of carbon fiber, which is not inferior to a super project of a large petrochemical base, and its potential is amazing. In contrast, 10 million is too small.

"Here you are." Su Cheng simply stumbled and said, "I'll add another 10 million to you, allowing you to set up a carbon fiber research institute. The level is the same as that of other research institutes, and you can start recruiting now."

Now it's Wang Yun's turn to be stunned: "A separate research institute? Same as the Offshore Oil Research Institute?

"That's right, like the Offshore Oil Research Institute, if there are results, we will agree on funding." In terms of potential, carbon fiber is not inferior to that developed by offshore oil. The development of the latter is inseparable from the participation of the former.

In the face of a large market of hundreds of billions, Su City gave him a lot of money.

If he didn't have a Dahua laboratory, other people would have no way to find carbon fiber technology.

Li Huanxiang finally realized that Su Cheng attached great importance to carbon fiber and took the opportunity to say, "This cannot be included in the total cost of Dahua Laboratory."

"It doesn't count." Su Cheng turned to Wang Yun and said, "You have to make the Carbon Fiber Research Institute as abundant as the Offshore Oil Research Institute, and the results are remarkable."

Gu Haijianle, who accompanied him, was about to touch his nose. Such praise is more exciting than face-to-face praise. If Wang Yun hadn't been the protagonist, he would have wanted to publicize the research status of the fourth generation of offshore oil drilling platform of the Offshore Oil Research Institute.

Wang Yun was no longer popular, and the surprise also made him short of breath. Dahua's research institute represents hundreds of millions of yuan of funds every year and a large number of independent project qualifications, which is stronger than the current national research institute, and there is less bureaucracy.

In the eyes of researchers, achieving the director of Dahua's research institute is almost the ultimate goal of life struggle. This position can carry out research almost at will. A large amount of funds and assigned assistants can solve the two most headaches for researchers. Moreover, the management of this position is not heavy. It only takes half a day a week to make more than enough. On the contrary, laboratory directors like Li Weixiang are mostly listed as professional goals by researchers when the research path is cut off.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to transfer personnel from the inside of Dahua Laboratory, and neither can graduates. Can we find people from home and abroad?" Wang Yun quickly entered the role and seriously considered it.

Su Cheng said, "You can not only dig people, but also sell patents and equipment, it's better to accept them. In this regard, let Zhang Chao cooperate with you.

1993 is an interesting year. This year, the United States began to shrink its investment in aerospace, and many space shuttle-only parts manufacturers were in a predicament, including many Japanese carbon fiber companies.

Without a big dog in the United States, a ton of 30 million yen of carbon fiber can't be sold out.

Although it is not expected to pick up leaks, Sucheng hopes to make more preparations. When the carbon fiber market is really popular, it is not easy to get the patent license, let alone the patent license. As a backward, Dahua Industry not only needs its own patents, but may also need more patents from others.
