Chapter 497 Thousands of miles a day

Dahua Research Office is composed of a group of small buildings. The road connected to the headquarters is shaded by trees, which is nicknamed Ho Chi Minh Path by researchers.

Every day, researchers happily hold the documents and materials on the path, go to the headquarters to apply for projects and funds, and then hold the documents, or bow their heads, or come back happily.

The project application pass rate of Dahua Laboratory fluctuates between 8 and 12, which cannot be regarded as low in any research institute in any country. Dahua Laboratory also relies on these project funds to maintain development. Therefore, the Ho Chi Minh Trail is the logistics channel of Dahua Laboratory. The researchers who come and go have the experience of successfully applying for funds and failure. When passing through this path, it will naturally speed up the pace.

But today, the Ho Chi Minh trail is completely congested.

The first one is a huge high-temperature cracking furnace.

Young assistants are responsible for moving boxes and instruments, and most of the older researchers are surrounded by high-temperature cracking furnaces.

A man with a beard couldn't help knocking on the outer wall of the alloy and said, "This doesn't look like 800 alloy."

Wang Yun roared off his hand and said proudly, "You thought it was a horizontal tube furnace. This is a special alloy of HK40, with Gr added to it."

"You old man, why aren't you so unique when using the centrifuge in our laboratory? Su Dong hasn't said he would give you the stove yet. The man with a beard was not happy. He circled around the high-temperature cracking furnace and said with jealousy, "There are only a few people in your laboratory. I don't think it's possible to work 24 hours a day. It's better to have a family..."

"I don't even think about it. This is what is said to be given to the Carbon Fiber Research Institute. In the future, in the carbon fiber test, the high-temperature cracking furnace will be operated all day, and no working hours will be empty. If there are not enough people, I will recruit them. I don't need your centrifuge. The research institute has equipped it. Wang Yun looked like he didn't need you anymore, and he looked at the people around him.

Yao Zefan, who has been at the Oil Extraction Research Institute for three times, opened his eyes wide and asked, "The centrifuge is also equipped... I haven't seen it. What model is it?"

He was the leader of the equipment team in those years, and now he has taken over the three oil production research institutes, and he is very familiar with the equipment. Centrifuges are almost standard in various research laboratories. From machinery to chemistry to biology, centrifuges are used more and more. Yao Zefan has been wanting a new centrifuge for some time. The one equipped with the three oil productions in that year was not only dilapidated, but also lagging behind in several years of uninterrupted use.

Wang Yun's personality was originally a little rough, but among a group of researchers with the same rough, it was much more normal. He pouted, pretended not to care, and said, "It's piled up over there. We're making asphalt-based carbon fiber, and the centrifuge is also a key equipment. Don't think about it."

Yao Zefan didn't say a word and went to look in the direction pointed by Wang Yun.

The shell of the wooden box is marked with the manufacturer and model, and the specific parameters are also partially indicated. Of course, for Yao Zefan, as long as there is a model, the parameters do not need to be marked. He is almost clear about it. Just like a fanatical computer house with new hardware data like a few treasures, Yao Zefan spends a lot of time holding periodicals and manufacturers' explanatory materials to drool.

Yao Zefan's position was quickly filled up and chased Wang Yun's words just now and asked, "So which is the key equipment?"

A circle of bookish researchers, like a wolf in night school, his eyes are either narrowed or staring, shining.

The laboratory is the jungle of researchers. Researchers who can't find equipment are like wolves who can't catch prey. If they don't starve to death, they will be dragged thin. A good device can simplify a lot of complex research, save time and effort, and get more accurate conclusions.

Historically, the proud Chinese have invented many wonderful experimental methods to bypass the dilemma of lack of equipment, especially in the process of catching up with developed countries. A large part of the experience of Chinese researchers has been spent on how to repeat each other's experiments.

The way of experimenting abroad is not necessarily a secret, but the equipment is a secret. Chinese researchers who lack equipment often spend a lot of energy to complete the other party's simple work with backward equipment and a lot of time in order to verify or reproduce the experimental conclusions of the other party. Many ways and methods in this can be called classics, but because of the single effect, those shining wisdom can only be attributed to the old paper pile, which is no longer worth using.

With the development of the times, by the 1990s, this tail strategy was even difficult to work. More and more sophisticated instruments and higher and higher experimental requirements make researchers who have not updated their experimental equipment for a long time have been at a loss...

If you can have an advanced equipment, for a laboratory, it is like saving a year and a half of time and liberating three or five excellent researchers.

How can you not grab such equipment?

Researchers may temporarily ignore the return of money and aim to make contributions or explore unknown angles, but in any case, researchers have a pursuit after all. In the face of modern science, equipment is an indispensable vehicle in the pursuit process.

The reason why Dahua Laboratory can gather a large number of researchers and get more than half of the strong researchers like Wang Yun is that Dahua Industrial has invested enough research funds, and most of these funds are reflected in the equipment.

The price of research equipment in the 1990s was not too exaggerated. Millions of pieces of equipment were enough for national laboratories. Dahua Industry's annual funding of hundreds of millions of yuan can support hundreds of projects and dozens of research entities, on average to each research entity, that is, a scale of one million.

Nevertheless, this is unmatched by China Research Group, which is shrinking. For most research institutes, millions of funds are not only necessary to maintain the operation of the project, but also to feed hundreds of useless affiliated personnel of the institution. Many large units in the past may run out of money with a salary, let alone buy new equipment.

Wang Yun used to be a member of looking for equipment everywhere. At this time, he was rich, and his mentality was still the same as before. He just shook his hand and said, "Don't say it's useless. Without any missing, the carbon fiber research institute can't play, and there are no key components."

With that, Yao Zefan had turned out the centrifuge and looked at the symbols on it. He just howled: How can it be two generations more advanced than us?

"The equipment in your laboratory is aging." One person next to him said.

"Yes, you can't just leave us alone." Yao Zefan stared at the number of T160 on the ground, and his eyes glowed: "The centrifuges of our three oil production stations are all products of the early 1980s. In fact, they can also be used. It's quite easy to use. Why don't we change them first?"

"Don't even think about it." Wang Yunzhan spoke resolutely. Regardless of the dust of the box on the ground, he called an assistant over. He picked it up with brute force and put it on the cart. He told him, "Don't stop in the middle. Send it directly to the laboratory. It's not easy for anyone to leave people in the laboratory. Except for me

"Undert it." The assistant researcher is a college student who has just graduated this year. Although he has little experience and knows the importance of equipment, he looks around with a vigilant look like a young pioneer.

In 1993, Dahua Industry, whether it is research quality, colleague level, personal treatment, or even social status, is better than the poor Chinese Academy of Sciences and other institutions. The personnel department of Dahua Industry has begun to make personnel files for research institutions across the country. Usually, there are few researchers selected by them who can't be poached. In this case, Dahua can successfully recruit almost every graduate they need, and the fierce internal competition has almost started since they entered Dahua. Everyone, whether it is Da Niu Maverick or ordinary Niu, should do their best to participate in the competition, otherwise they may be eliminated to subordinate branches, or Go to affiliated enterprises.

In the eyes of young people, there are often more sparks of competition.

Yao Zefan looked at the disappearance of the wooden box loaded with a centrifuge and sighed, "Our equipment application has not been approved. It's more popular than people."

Wang Yun smiled and said, "That's good. In my impression, the staffing of the three oil production stations is not from Dahua Laboratory. Su Dong is willing to provide the equipment. It's good."

"Why is it not Dahua's? My establishment has been converted to Dahua's. In the three oil production institute, 70% of the researchers are from Dahua's. Moreover, the ownership of all the patents and research results of the three oil production institutes belongs to Dahua Industry. Shengli Oilfield only has free use rights and cannot be transferred. What's the difference between this and the research institute of Dahua Laboratory?

Wang Yun's idea was simple and said, "No matter how you calculate it, there are always 30% of them. Shengli Oilfield hardly provides funds now. You still have 30% of them in Shengli Oilfield. There is always a little difference."

In fact, Wang Yun didn't think much about this matter and said it casually. The talker has no intention to listen. Yao Zefan immediately thought about it: Dahua and Shengli Oilfield have a good relationship now, and it's okay regardless of each other. In the future, Mr. Lin will be promoted to general manager, but there will always be a time to retire. How old is Su Dong? I'm afraid he still has a good life for decades... Pah... In case he has a little grudge, it's really not surprising.

After thinking about it, his mind moved: Why don't we really end the cooperative relationship and completely transfer to Dahua?

Most of the people who don't want to come to Dahua now are retired researchers over 50 years old. They have medical insurance and pension considerations. After all, the scale of Dahua Industry cannot be compared with the country. Everyone is worried that in case...

However, if these people are transferred in the name of Dahua Laboratory, it is not impossible.

Yao Zefan thought too much, but he didn't care about the equipment behind him.

It only takes more than half a day to complete the equipment handling, but the installation is slow. In order to pursue accuracy and stability, many devices use drills to ground. If it is too much, it is necessary to pour concrete. It is even more natural to measure the vertical level. The requirements such as avoiding the sun or installing flannelettes are also different. The progress of construction can't be done quickly.

Therefore, it is very difficult to migrate most devices after the location is determined, and the design and installation requirements are much higher.

In order to avoid mistakes, Wang Yun ate and lived in the laboratory. Other assistant researchers, as well as newly recruited researchers, are also models. While staring and helping, they want to make the construction progress faster.

About a week. The two spinning machines are in place first, followed by the top-level high-temperature cracking furnace.

Wang Yun immediately began to prepare for the experimental design. The time to go to the toilet was spent thinking, and he was even more confused about going home, forcing his wife to come to deliver food every day.

In such an atmosphere, carbon fiber unexpectedly took only half a month to start work.

Wang Yun was holding his strength in his heart: he wanted to make anisotropic carbon fiber before Su Dong's next inquiry. As long as the cost is maintained to the current level, with the quality of anisotropic asphalt-based carbon fiber, it will definitely become a new generation of cash cow in Dahua Laboratory, just like a well-funded offshore oil research institute!

At that time, who dares to say that the newly established Carbon Fiber Research Institute is not worthy of its name!

In order to achieve this goal, Wang Yun is not stingy with research funding at all. In the fully equipped condition, the firepower is fully turned on, and the direct distillation oil of oil is still being cracked at a high temperature of 1100 degrees, and the cracking asphalt of 1,000 degrees is begun to be mixed into asphalt for spinning. On the other hand, the combined carbon method of simple two-stage heat treatment began to be tested again, and the Exxon law of solvent extraction began to prepare materials...

Long before joining Dahua Industry, Wang Yun began to study carbon fiber. In fact, China itself is an early country to study carbon fiber. In the 1950s, China had a special project team on carbon fiber. At that time, the main goal was tracking research. Unfortunately, by the 1990s, China was still carrying out tracking research.

Carbon fiber research is too expensive, and there are too many things that the country needs to study. Only a private company like Dahua Industry can do its own in-depth research without considering a complete range of categories.

Wang Yun used to study carbon fiber on paper, and most of the experiments were done over and over again in his head. After joining Dahua Industry, the carbon fiber project team does not have unlimited funds. It can only make simple isotropic asphalt-based carbon fiber first. And his research plan in the drawer has been modified many times.

With the injection of funds at the research institute level, Wang Yun can't stand it. Now the external conditions are complete, and the internal conditions are twisted into a rope. The previous ideas have been verified in the experiment one by one, and the progress of the experiment is thousands of miles a day, which further stimulates them.

The financial department of Dahua headquarters has to continuously remind Wang Yun: pay attention to expenses! If only Sucheng in Almaty had the authority to cancel the research plan of the research institute, the headquarters might have stuck Wang Yun. Even so, the unconventional academic committee was immediately established and began to inspect Wang Yun's research.

Su Cheng knew about this, but he also kept silent. Before he made a clear statement, the Carbon Fiber Research Institute did race against time to get results.

The study of anisotropic carbon fiber one day earlier may bring millions of benefits. For a new research institute, this is the performance of hard work. For new researchers, this is also the best title for them to enter the "special contribution" list.
