Chapter 1714 Material Balance
In the conference room.

Yang Xiaotao put the report aside and picked up the palm-sized piece of alloy on the table.

This is the TiG01 alloy sample produced.

After trying it, Yang Xiaotao had been dealing with steel for many years and had a general understanding of the weight of steel.

This alloy is obviously lighter than ordinary steel, and it is obvious that the weight meets the requirements.

He calmly pointed the analysis bracelet on his wrist at the alloy.

"Ding, scanning completed. Do you want to spend 100 credits to analyze it?"

Hearing the system prompt, Yang Xiaotao glanced at the alloy sample in his hand. He remembered that when he scanned the high manganese steel, it only took 50 credits.

From this aspect, it can be seen that the higher the credits consumed, the better the quality of the alloy.

Of course, the quality rating does not represent the quality of the material, but in some aspects, some alloys cannot be replaced.

Just like the alloy in front of us, it may not be as useful as high manganese steel in other aspects, but at the moment, it is indispensable in engine manufacturing.

The decisive choice is yes.

Soon, a beam of light swept across the sample, and then a long string of metal element symbols appeared on the system panel.

"Sure enough, the order has changed."

By comparing with the formula of titanium alloy, Yang Xiaotao intuitively discovered the change in the order of elements.

The result of this change is new elements.

Yang Xiaotao wondered in his mind, since the order of arrangement has been changed, can he continue exploring?

At this time, Li Junming's report was already over, but he was still excited.

This is their co-stars' moment of glory.

“Dear leaders, this is the result of our research.

"After this period of research, we not only found a solution to the problem, but also broadened our thinking. On the basis of the original, we will conduct more exploration."

"In the future, we will have more achievements, contribute better alloy materials to the country, and make our contribution to the revolutionary construction."

Papapa

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao stood up and applauded.

Li Junming's idea coincides with his.

He is now becoming more and more satisfied with the establishment of the United Star Research Institute.

Following Yang Xiaotao's lead, people around him stood up and applause continued.

When Wang Junhong heard the last part, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

What does this mean? It means that there will be more alloy research results in the future.

This shows that they can follow this line of thought in metallurgy and make their own alloys.

The applause stopped. Although Yang Xiaotao, as the director of the research institute, has been a hands-off boss for many years, he has the most say in such occasions.

After expressing his appreciation for the research and efforts of the institute, Yang Xiaotao immediately gave certain rewards on behalf of the machinery factory.

Even though the inventory has shrunk by more than half due to earthquake relief, there is still room for some to be given as rewards.

When everyone heard this, they all shouted that the rewards from the machinery factory were very generous.

In addition, there are many good things in Yang Xiaotao’s personal space, but it is not convenient to take them out as rewards.

However, it is still possible to satisfy everyone's appetite.

"Director Guan, go to the slaughterhouse and buy a pig later. I'll pay for it. I'll treat everyone tonight."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Guan Zhiyong.

Guan Zhiyong naturally knew that this was Yang Xiaotao's moment to show off, so he didn't refuse and directly took the money and prepared to have someone arrange it.

But before he left, Wang Junhong said, "Director Guan, wait a moment."

Everyone looked and saw Wang Junhong turn his head and wave to the secretary beside him, then took out a stack of banknotes from the bag handed over by the secretary.

"I don't have much, but if I gather together, I can buy a fan of pork. Of course, if it's not enough, I'll ask Mr. Yang to make up for it."

"It's a reward for everyone."

Guan Zhiyong looked at Yang Xiaotao, but Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Director Wang gave it to you, why don't you take it quickly?"

Guan Zhiyong immediately took it with a smile, and then said to the logistics director beside him, "Just buy a pig, and our steel plant will make up for the rest."

After hearing this, everyone in the institute was even more jubilant, and the entire conference room was filled with festive sounds.

After Yang Xiaotao and Wang Junhong left the meeting room, they went straight to the office.

Laodao and An Zhongsheng have arranged the production tasks. The workshop has started producing TiG01 alloy. According to the plan, the materials will be provided to the machinery factory tomorrow.

The R&D team can also continue.

In the office, Yang Xiaotao personally poured tea for Wang Junhong.

"Director Wang, you are such a busy man, how come you have time to come here in person today? It's not about the alloy, is it?"

Wang Junhong took a sip from the teacup and said, "You are right."

"My visit this time is really related to alloy materials."

Yang Xiaotao also took a sip and was very puzzled. "We have already agreed on the cooperation. You don't want to change your mind, do you?"

"What a mess. If you change your mind, won't we be the ones who suffer?"

Wang Junhong put down the cup speechlessly. Although the alloy business is quite big now, its research capability is not as good as that of United Star Research Institute.

"Then you tell me, as long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you."

Yang Xiaotao patted his chest and made the assurance. He also knew that United Star's strength lies in research, and production requires materials, especially large-scale production, which has a greater demand for rare metals.

This requires the Smelting Alloy Bureau to take action.

The above cooperation is a win-win situation.

Of course, to be honest, the Machinery Factory United Star still has advantages in this regard.

After all, without R&D capabilities, no matter how many resources you have for smelting alloys, it will be useless.

And with the relationship with the machinery factory, resources can always be found.

That's why Yang Xiaotao dared to say this with confidence.

Wang Junhong took another sip of tea, then asked his secretary to go out first and close the door.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotao understood that there was something to be said. "Xiaotao, you know my relationship with Zhang Feng, and your father-in-law. We were both here together. So, with this relationship, we are considered family, right?"

Yang Xiaotao picked up the teapot and added water while replying, "Uncle Wang, if you say so, then our relationship is more than just family. The relationship between Mr. Qian from the Second Ministry of Machine Building and my father-in-law is that we are from the same origin."

Wang Junhong smiled and shook his head after hearing this. "You guys, you just called me Director Wang, but now you're so quick that you're even calling me uncle."

"No wonder you can accomplish things. You are better than your father-in-law."

Yang Xiaotao waved his hands and said, "No, I respect the revolutionary predecessors. I respect them from the bottom of my heart."

"Come on, I can get to the Metallurgical Bureau to be in charge of alloys. I've seen a lot of people do this, so don't be so careless."

"I came here this time to tell you something."

Wang Junhong's face was serious, and Yang Xiaotao also restrained his expression.

"Did your factory offend the supervisory team from above?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head and picked up the cup on the table. Then he looked up without answering and just asked, "Uncle Wang, what do you mean?"

“The comrades in the supervision team may not be familiar with the actual work, so they are inevitably a little anxious.”

Seeing this, Wang Junhong glanced at Yang Xiaotao and also picked up the teacup, "That's possible."

"Recently, someone has been asking about the use of alloy materials in your machinery factory, and has even used connections to try to transfer information internally."

"But I stopped it after I found out."

At this point, Wang Junhong put down the cup and said, "But you have to be prepared. After all, the accounts can be checked."

Yang Xiaotao nodded slightly after hearing this, but he was shocked in his heart.

The supervision team has been relatively safe in the machinery factory during this period, but now it seems that the other party is only safe on the surface.

In private, he is still doing small things.

In other words, someone is behind the scenes doing something tricky.

If Wang Junhong hadn't come to remind them today, they might still be in the dark when the other party attacked.

As for why the local authorities did this, Yang Xiaotao understood it after just thinking about it.

No matter what you do, the purpose will not change.

From the initial team leader Zhang, Director Cao, to the later Wang Guohua, whether it was aimed at the machinery factory or at him personally, the purpose was to bring the machinery factory under his command.

In other words, extend your tentacles into the machinery factory.

If you want to gain a firm foothold, you need political achievements or leverage.

The political achievements are probably not bad, but what about the evidence?
The machinery factory is so large, with so many people, we can do a good job on a big level, but no one can take care of all the small things.

What these people are best at is seeing the big picture from the small.

It is to break the surface with a point.

Now, the supervision team is working on the issue of alloy materials, most likely hoping to find a breakthrough in this area.

Yang Xiaotao held the teacup and fell into deep thought.

Wang Junhong on the side did not disturb him and gave Yang Xiaotao time to think about it.

The machinery plant has two sources of special alloy materials, one is the Red Star Steel Plant, which is produced under the guidance of United Star.

This aspect accounts for 30% of the supply.

The remaining 70% are from metallurgical alloys.

The other party inquired about the information by investigating the supply of alloy materials from the metallurgical side, and then inferring the production capacity of the machinery factory.

Although there will be some differences, they won't be too big.

As for the purpose of investigating this, Yang Xiaotao knew it clearly.

Because losers are never willing to accept defeat.

They will try every possible means to get back at the plate.

They will even use this incident to intervene in the procurement of factory materials and check the material balance.

Material balance.

Yang Xiaotao felt a headache when he thought about this.

Not to mention now, even decades later, with scientific management and more convenient computers, material balance will still be a headache for managers.

Especially for the above inspection, how to determine whether it has been done or not depends on whether your materials meet the production needs. If you use too much, it means there is waste and it harms the collective interests.

But if less is used, there will be cutting corners and falsifying revolutionary construction, which will cause huge harm.

By then, this responsibility will not be something that ordinary people can shoulder.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaotao understood what to do next.

"Uncle Wang, I know about this, thank you."

"I'll need your help in taking care of the metallurgical alloys."

Wang Junhong waved her hand, "Don't worry about that. This is what I'm telling you today."

Yang Xiaotao nodded gratefully, and Wang Junhong took the opportunity to persuade him, "Your machinery factory has risen now, but as the old saying goes, it's lonely at the top. The higher you stand, the more people will look up to you, and they will only stare at your shadow."

"Some things need to be considered carefully."

"I see!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his teacup to express his gratitude.

After Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Junhong and his group off, he stood at the door and the doubts in his heart gradually cleared up.

His relationship with Wang Junhong was not very close. The two sides had only met a few times. If they had a cooperative relationship, it was only cooperation at the research institute and metallurgical level.

The other party has reached this position, so he must know the principle of talking about deep things when you are not very close to each other, but he still said it.

It was not until he watched the other party leave that Yang Xiaotao pondered over the other party's warning and his mind suddenly became clear.

Maybe they don't have much friendship, but it doesn't affect the camps they are in.

The reason why Wang Junhong came here was most likely because of the higher-ups' decision.

In other words, whenever the superior leader discovers something, he uses him to remind himself.

It doesn’t matter who this person is. What’s important is that using this method to remind yourself shows the importance of this matter.

"It seems that this incident has had a significant impact."
