Rule department scholar

The meaning of Zhao Yi's reporting is to report the results to his superiors and at the same time apply for an internal disclosure of the results. In addition, it is tantamount to announcing in advance, "We have completed the research and development, and we can conduct a phased summary."

The phased summary of the project involves issues such as the release of results, product submission for production, and collaboration with other departments. In terms of funds, phased settlements can be made. How much money has been consumed, and whether to increase R&D investment in the later stage are all needed Make a plan to apply.

Li Zhenlai continued to report the news, and went to the affairs group of the Science and Technology Department. The affairs group was composed of leaders from various departments, and the group was responsible for discussing major scientific research projects and achievements.

Ying Sheng was on duty in the affairs team that day.

After Ying Sheng received the news, he immediately called the material department and asked, "Is the news just now true?"

"Yes, Academician Zhao reported it." Li Zhenlai gave an affirmative answer.

"Tomorrow will be lively!"

Ying Sheng sighed and continued to report the news.

The next morning, Liu Zecheng, the deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, found out the news as soon as he arrived. He was as surprised as everyone else. He is not in charge of the affairs of the Materials Department, but he still has an understanding of related research. Generally speaking, top alloy materials The time required for R&D is in units of 'years'.

The project funding that Zhao Yi applied for is 2000 million. Compared with the project itself, the funding is far from large. Liu Zecheng thinks that more funds will be invested in the follow-up, and the research and development time will be at least two, three years, or even longer. Time, it turned out that only three months had passed...

Results?

It wouldn't be surprising if there was a small result, but...

"The melting point is above 1700 degrees? Nickel alloy? Doesn't this reach the top international level?" Liu Zecheng looked at the report in surprise, which contained specific parameters of the finished product.

Alloy code: K03B

Melting point: 1708 degrees Celsius (up and down within 2 degrees Celsius)

Rhenium element content: 6.7%~~6.8%

Other parameters include strength and corrosion resistance. The data are somewhat incomprehensible, but it is marked next to 'basically equivalent to K03B', which can make people understand directly.

Liu Zecheng immediately found the parameters of K03B for comparison, and then found relevant professionals in the materials department to inquire. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, "This is the top nickel alloy in the world, right? The parameters have surpassed the release of the top fighter jets in country M." The data."

The parameters he said are comprehensive.

The turbine engine blade parameters of country M's top fighter jet have a slightly higher melting point, but the rhenium content is as high as 8%, and their strength and corrosion resistance are similar.

The professional explained, "This is only the initial experimental result. Because it is an experiment, the process is not rigorous. In theory, if the environment and temperature control can be done well, the performance of K03B can continue to improve, and it will definitely surpass the top fighter turbine of M country." blade performance."

Liu Zecheng was amazed.

The Materials Department reported two more results, still reported by Zhao Yi, both of which were related to nickel alloys. One was named KK031, with a melting point of 1550 degrees Celsius and a rhenium content of about 2.5%. The other was named It is KK032, with a melting point of 1650 degrees Celsius and a rhenium content of about 4.3%.

The performance of K03B is definitely the best, but the performance of KK031 and KK032 is not bad, and the melting point is above 1550 degrees Celsius.

Three alloy materials, three grades.

The higher the performance of the alloy material is, the better it is. It is still necessary to consider the manufacturing cost and usage issues. If the material with good performance is placed in a low-end environment, it will not be able to fully exert its effect, but it will waste the cost in vain.

After receiving all the reported results, Liu Zecheng immediately held a leadership group meeting to discuss issues related to the nickel alloy results, and then he personally called Zhao Yi to communicate with Zhao Yi about the results and follow-up research and development issues.

Zhao Yi's idea is very simple. Whether the results are made public depends on the Science and Technology Department, but he himself doesn't care.

R & D is also ready to hand over to the 307 steel factory.

It is impossible for him to continue to research and develop alloy materials, and to manufacture the world's top alloy that is sufficient for use, and the research and development goal has been completed.

As the leader of the R&D team, he still wants to fight for the interests of the people in the R&D team, hoping to record everyone's names in the results, and at the same time win everyone a bonus.

In addition, development funds must also be sought.

The metal material laboratory was established by Zhao Yi. The funding of several hundred or tens of millions is still too little compared to an alloy material laboratory. For the real development of the office, it is best to have more complete equipment. In terms of talents, it depends on the future development.

When Liu Zecheng heard the first few items, he immediately nodded in agreement, but thought about the last item, "If you continue to cooperate with Factory 307 in research and development, the development of the laboratory will not be a problem."

There is a difference between higher-level appropriation and independent development through cooperation.

It is definitely the worst choice to expand the laboratory only through appropriation from superiors. More funds should come from cooperative enterprises. 307 Steel Plant is undoubtedly a good choice, because they have enough results and benefits, and they are definitely willing to allocate part of the funds , for the development of collaborative laboratories.

Zhao Yi also understood.

The Department of Science and Technology allocates funds to support the development of the laboratory, which cannot be decided by Liu Zecheng alone.

If you cooperate with the 307 steel plant, the development will become very free, just like the medical science center, there are companies willing to spend money to sponsor, you can build it however you want, because it involves all aspects, the superior will not allocate a large sum of money, Simply support a laboratory expansion.

After Zhao Yi and Liu Zecheng talked on the phone, things were almost finalized, and the Science and Technology Department agreed to disclose the results internally.

The R&D team released the results immediately.

soon.

Other relevant departments have seen the news of the results.

Institute of Metal Research, Academy of Sciences, Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials, Aviation Group, Kunlun Engine Group, Wangwu Engine Group...

Everyone who saw the news was shocked, "Zhao Yi's research and development team has developed a nickel alloy with a melting point above 1700 degrees?"

"What are you kidding?"

"Are you sure it is above 1700 degrees? The strength has not decreased? How is it possible... the addition of rhenium element has increased the melting point by more than 200 degrees?"

"So fast?"

"It turned out to be only nickel-iron alloy, without using single crystal technology? This achievement... So, we don't need to continue our single crystal nickel alloy project?"

Other departments are better, but they are overwhelmed by the news.

The Institute of Metal Research of the Academy of Sciences and the Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials are different. They both have single-crystal nickel alloy research and development projects. After seeing the news of this achievement, their first reaction was, "Our research is about to be interrupted!"

"There is no need to continue!"

"With this new type of material, what's the point of studying single crystal nickel? A nickel alloy with a melting point of over 1700 degrees, high strength, and high corrosion resistance is enough to equip a fifth-generation high-performance engine!"

"We can start thinking about other projects..."

What kind of mood will you feel if you have done research and development with a year as the unit of calculation and have two or three small achievements, but it turns out that all your efforts are meaningless?

Peng Engui can explain.

Recently, he and the R&D team have been working hard on research and development, hoping to make breakthroughs in the research of single crystal nickel alloys, so that those who are "not optimistic about themselves" can really see who is the master of alloy materials .

result……

All efforts seem to be in vain?

"It's over!"

"It's over!"

"The project funding will be interrupted, and several years of hard work will become useless." Peng Engui sat on the chair blankly, thinking about it carefully, he felt that he was a joke, and he was afraid to go out, "Maybe everyone else is laughing at me? Even the people in the group."

In fact, no one said Peng Engui.

People in the research and development team are all talking about Li Rongmao. They are very envious of Li Rongmao being able to do research with Zhao Yi and achieve great results so quickly. As long as a similar big achievement is touched, it will be of great benefit to the future development of the individual, and In the results news, Li Rongmao's name was directly listed, affirming his contribution to research and development.

Not to mention the low-level students, interns, and associate researchers, even a few researchers are envious when they say it. The results have been released. No surprises, Li Rongmao will be considered a "new star of alloy materials". It's just a matter of time. In the future, it will be trusted by the higher authorities, and it will be much easier for individuals to apply for large projects.

This is the pursuit of many researchers.

As long as you can apply for a big project and have enough financial support, you will have the opportunity to make great achievements. The future development will definitely improve. With enough achievements to support, you may be able to be awarded an academician in the future.

Achievements, fame, money, and status are all here!

Virtuous circle!

Peng Engui continued to sit blankly. He became more sober, but he was afraid to go out, for fear of seeing other people's eyes. Whether it was disappointment, panic, ridicule, etc., it would always be negative.

Then the phone rang.

Peng Engui took out his mobile phone and found that it was an unfamiliar number, "It won't be so soon, will you be notified to stop the project?"

He smiled bitterly and pressed the answer button.

A familiar voice rang from the phone, "Mr. Peng, I'm Xiao Li. Have you seen the news of the results?"

"I'm not calling to show off, but to say sorry, and...thank you!"

"Mr. Peng, I can have the current ability and level all because of your teaching. No matter what happened before, you taught me how to do research and development, how to do experiments, and even the use of those basic equipment. Taught. So, no matter what the future holds, you will always be my teacher."

"Thank you!"

The voice choked up a little at the end.

Peng Engui also couldn't help shedding tears. He took a deep breath with red eyes, and sighed for a long time, "Xiao Li, I heard you. No need to apologize, I don't blame you. Because I thought about it, If I were you, I would go too."

"In the capital, work hard and learn more from Academician Zhao. You are my best student. I hope you can surpass me in the future."

"No, you sure can!"

"come on!"

4 Chapter [-] Kunlun Engine Group [-]

Research projects are like that.

Two project teams do similar research and development, and there is a competitive relationship between them.

The fundamental purpose of Zhao Yi's research on nickel-iron alloys is to develop turbine blade materials. The Institute of Metal Research of the Academy of Sciences and the Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials conduct research on single-crystal nickel alloys for the purpose of developing turbine blade materials. There is a direct competitive relationship between them.

Now the research and development team led by Zhao Yi has developed three grades of nickel-iron alloy materials, which is tantamount to completing the research on turbine blade materials. The research of the Institute of Metal Research of the Academy of Sciences and the Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials will definitely be affected.

This effect is very large.

They have been doing research and development of single crystal nickel alloys, because the results are useless, and it will be difficult to get financial support in the future, and the project will be interrupted.

The Institute of Metal Research, Academy of Sciences, and Peng Engui's group were greatly affected, because they did research and development independently, and the relevant cooperative institutions were also affiliated to the Academy of Sciences, and had no direct relationship with the Aviation Group. They could only suspend the project and turn to other things. Research.

The Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials has been less affected, because they are directly related to the aviation group and have many material research and development projects in the aviation field. The research and development of single crystal nickel alloys can continue, but the purpose of research and development has been changed to other directions, in other words In other words, only the Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials will continue to research and develop single crystal nickel alloys in the future.

Of course, some companies and institutions can also do it, but considering that the research and development of single crystal nickel alloys requires a lot of investment, and the expenditure is not directly proportional to the income, there will be very few people who continue to do related research.

Zhao Yi didn't have to think about what happened to the other R&D teams.

Society is like this, competition is everywhere, and human beings are constantly moving forward in the competition. As the winner in the competition, he actually doesn’t care about the victory. What he cares about is the development of the engine. A single nickel alloy turbine blade material , is only a part of the engine research and development, and only because there is no suitable material, he started to do the research by himself.

This is a very helpless choice.

After Zhao Yi finished reporting the news, the Science and Technology Department soon set up a team to review the report submitted by Zhao Yi's R&D team, the R&D process, and the finished product.

This group has official representatives from the Science and Technology Department, representatives from the Aviation Group, and representatives from the Capital Aeronautical Materials Research Institute. They will do the experimental process and manufacturing-related audits together. Finally, the finished product will be inspected in detail by the Capital Aeronautical Materials Research Institute. To ensure that the finished product meets the requirements for manufacturing aeroengine turbine blades.

When the review team arrived, it was just in time for the R&D team to do a new experiment.

The design of this experiment is the same as last time, except that the experimental process is more rigorous. For this purpose, a large furnace and four small high-end equipment are specially used. The rigorous experimental process also makes the performance of the finished product better. Finally, it was detected that the melting point of the finished product reached 1725 degrees Celsius.

"It's about 17 degrees higher than before."

"This is about the same as expected. If it is 307, the performance of the finished product will definitely be better."

He Guilin said with certainty.

After all, the experiment is just an experiment, the environment cannot be compared with a professional factory, and without those super large high-end equipment, the process control cannot be too strict.

This is the difference between alloy materials research and other fields.

For example, medical research.

In medical research, the control of the laboratory is often finer, because the control of the environment is better in the laboratory, and the operation is relatively more subtle. When it comes to the production stage, the control is not so strict.

The research of alloy materials requires a lot of equipment, and it is often difficult for laboratories to have truly high-end large-scale equipment, which will affect the performance of manufactured products.

The review team of the Science and Technology Department watched the entire experiment process, and brought several finished products to the Capital Institute of Aeronautical Materials for comprehensive and detailed testing. The test report came out the next day.

All three materials submitted in the research and development can be used to make aeroengine turbine blades.

This result was not unexpected, but it still made the research and development team breathe a sigh of relief. With the confirmed test results, the research and development can almost be completed.

Next comes the negotiation.

Under the leadership of Liu Zelai, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, Zhao Yi, Wang Zhifang, the Capital Aeronautical Materials Research Institute, and the 307 Steel Plant discussed the issue of transfer of achievements, and then discussed the issue of rewards with the Science and Technology Department.

The final decision is to transfer the results to the 307 steel plant. The 307 steel plant will continue to cooperate with the metal material laboratory in the research and development of nickel-iron alloys, and will be responsible for all the funds. At the same time, it will allocate 2000 million yuan for the development of the metal material laboratory.

Everyone in the research and development team will record a national-level scientific research contribution. Among them, Zhao Yi, Wang Zhifang, and Shen Binghe won the first-class scientific research, and Li Rongmao and Zhang Hongtao received the second-class scientific research.

And of course personal bonuses.

The personal bonuses of scientific researchers are symbolic, but if they have made significant scientific research contributions, they will definitely be able to get a lot of bonuses. The Science and Technology Department distributes the bonuses according to the report submitted by Zhao Yi. Zhao Yi is the highest-ranking individual who got it 50 yuan.

Wang Zhifang and Shen Binghe came next, each with 20 yuan, and Li Rongmao got 10 yuan.

Zhang Hongtao took at least 8 yuan.

Zhang Hongtao got the least bonus, and suddenly felt a little unbalanced. It is understandable that Shen Binghe got more first-class merit than himself, but why did Li Rongmao get more than himself?

"Is it because he is in the metal materials laboratory?" Zhang Hongtao thought a little depressed.
