Chapter 158: Not good at holding meetings and giving notices
"The state is ready to set up a major equipment office to be responsible for organizing and coordinating the research and development of major equipment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoI have been appointed Deputy Director of the Office of Refurbishment and is in charge of the Office. I came to visit Director Wu today to ask you if you are interested in coming to the Heavy Equipment Office to turn the major equipment you talked about on paper into reality. ā
Luo Xiangfei said to Wu Shican in a sincere tone.
"Major Equipment Office?" Wu Shican was surprised, he looked at Luo Xiangfei, and then at Feng Xiaochen, and felt that the other party didn't look like a joke, so he asked cautiously: "But I'm engaged in chemical engineering, what does it have to do with major equipment?"
Luo Xiangfei said: "Large-scale ethylene plants, large-scale fertilizer plants, including coal chemical plants, are all major equipment that we are going to build, how can it have nothing to do with you?"
"But I'm a technical person, and I don't understand the work of your administrative organs. Wu Shican said sneeringly.
Luo Xiangfei smiled and asked, "Old Wu, how do you think our administrative organs should work?"
Wu Shican thought for a while and said: "It's nothing more than holding meetings, issuing notices, and engaging in mobilization, like this in our Ministry of Chemical Industry." I really can't do your work. ā
Luo Xiangfei said: "You misunderstood, I came to invite you out of the mountain, not for you to go to a meeting to issue a notice, I fancy your sensitivity to the international technological frontier, and I want to invite you to come to us to preside over the work of the planning department." The mission of the Planning Division is to conduct forward-looking research on equipment technology, put forward practical equipment development plans, and guide the selection and designation of major equipment. This work requires a certain technical vision, and the people you mentioned who can only hold meetings and send notices will not be able to do this work. ā
"Prospective research?" Wu Shican fell into deep thought, and after a while, he smiled reluctantly and said, "Director Luo, I'm afraid I won't be able to obey this." I still like the work of the design institute, and the large-scale ethylene plant and large-scale fertilizer plant you mentioned will eventually fall to our design institute to carry out the design, and I think I can give full play to my value here. ā
"This ......" Luo Xiangfei was speechless. Encountering this kind of technology nerd, it really overwhelmed him. Obviously, in Wu Shican's view, doing management work is not as valuable as doing scientific research work, and it is really not possible to change this concept in one or two sentences.
"Teacher Wu, you said it so well. Feng Xiaochen spoke beside him. As soon as these words came out, Luo Xiangfei and Wu Shican were stunned: Where are you, shouldn't you stand on Luo Xiangfei's side to help persuade Wu Shican, why did you help Wu Shican speak in turn?
Feng Xiaochen didn't seem to feel the surprise of the two people, but continued: "Teacher Wu, do you know, I have admired scientists since I was a child, and I can't wait to become a scientist myself. It's a pity that when I was in middle school, I was so bad at mathematics, physics and chemistry, so now I can only do some copying, copying, and running errands, which can't be compared with the work you are engaged in, Mr. Wu. ā
Hearing Feng Xiaochen's self-depreciation, Luo Xiangfei was silent. What is Feng Xiaochen's mathematics, physics and chemistry skills, Luo Xiangfei knows in his heart, in this case, Feng Xiaochen has to claim that he can only copy and write, there must be some deep meaning. Luo Xiangfei couldn't guess Feng Xiaochen's strategy for a while, so he simply didn't say a word and waited for Feng Xiaochen to play.
Wu Shican was a little embarrassed, although he didn't doubt Feng Xiaochen's words, but people were so modest, he couldn't say nothing. He waved his hand and said, "Where is it, Secretary Feng is too humble, in fact...... The work you do is also very meaningful. As the saying goes, the train runs fast, and it all depends on the head, and you are the leaders of our scientific researchers, and without your leading departments, we don't know what to do. ā
"Mr. Wu is too polite, a great scientist like you is the real locomotive, and those of us who do administrative work are here for you. By the way, Mr. Wu, in fact, our Heavy Equipment Office has drawn up some plans for the development of chemical equipment, and I am afraid that we will have to ask for your strong support at that time. Feng Xiaochen said.
"It should be, it should be. Wu Shican responded, "As long as you make a request, we will definitely work hard to complete it." ā
"Really? That's great. Feng Xiaochen was not polite at all, and said directly to Wu Shican's words: "We have a relatively important project right now, and I would like to hear your opinions and see if you have time to preside over this project." ā
"What's the urgent project?" Wu Shican asked seriously.
"Yes, in our planning, there is a large-scale ammonia complete set of equipment. We are ready to convene several large domestic chemical equipment enterprises, plus several key scientific research institutes, to invest three years to break through the manufacturing technology difficulties of large-scale Cooper-Tochek gasifier, and our domestic ammonia plant can use its own gasifier in the future. To this end, we are ready to apply for 20 million yuan in funds from the Planning Commission......" Feng Xiaochen said eloquently, as if it were true.
"You wait!" Wu Shican's face changed slightly, and he interrupted Feng Xiaochen without waiting for him to finish. He turned his head to Luo Xiangfei and asked, "Director Luo, what Secretary Feng said just now is true?"
Of course, Luo Xiangfei knew that Feng Xiaochen was talking about it, and the Heavy Equipment Office had not yet been officially established, so there was no project to do in a hurry. Large-scale synthetic ammonia is indeed one of the projects to be organized by the Heavy Equipment Office in the future, and some basic work in the early stage has also been rolled out, but I have not heard of any application for 20 million funds, and there are any three-year breakthroughs and the like. However, since Feng Xiaochen said it seriously, it was obvious that he had his intentions, and Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen were not cooperating for the first day, so naturally they would not expose his lies. Hearing Wu Shican ask him for confirmation, Luo Xiangfei just nodded slightly, and said, "This matter is mainly Xiao Feng's responsibility, and the specific details are subject to what Xiao Feng said." ā
"This ...... This, this, this, this is just nonsense!" Wu Shican stumbled a few words "this", and finally couldn't help it and jumped up.
"What's the matter, Mr. Wu, don't get excited. Where I said it wrong, you pointed it out. Feng Xiaochen pretended to be frightened and said.
"What is wrong? It was wrong from the beginning!" Wu Shican shouted. He is not good at communicating with people on weekdays, which will make him obsessed, let alone know what euphemism is.
"Director Wu, don't get excited, speak slowly. Luo Xiangfei also spoke.
Hearing Luo Xiangfei's persuasion, Wu Shican was embarrassed to get angry again, he took a few breaths, and then said to Luo Xiangfei: "Director Luo, I want to ask, who formulated the plan that Comrade Xiao Feng just said, and the person who formulated this plan lacks the most basic chemical knowledge. To formulate such a plan is simply a crime against the state!"
"What do you mean by that?" Luo Xiangfei asked calmly. It is not easy to make this honest man in front of him lose such a big temper, Luo Xiangfei faintly guessed Feng Xiaochen's intentions, and couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart for his eagerness.
Wu Shican was unconscious, and only looked at himself and said: "Director Luo, I know that you are an expert in metallurgical technology, but you may not know much about chemical technology. As for Secretary Feng...... Alas, I'm going to talk about your plan. Just now, Secretary Feng said that he was going to spend a few years and use 20 million yuan to break through the technical difficulties of the Coo-Tochek furnace, and also said that in the future, our large ammonia synthesis plants will use this furnace type, which is a completely wrong direction. ā
"No, Mr. Wu, I heard that this KT furnace is very advanced technology, and fertilizer factories in the United States and Germany use this kind of gasifier, and our country has a big gap with foreign countries in this regard, and it should catch up. Feng Xiaochen retorted in an aggrieved tone.
"Who told you that the KT furnace is very advanced?" Wu Shican asked unceremoniously.
"That's what it says in the book. Feng Xiaochen said, "We have checked the information ourselves." ā
"When was the book, and what is written in the book?" Wu Shican continued.
Feng Xiaochen spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this, you know, I don't know much about this." ā
"I tell you, KT was indeed very advanced, but it was a furnace type that had been put into industrial application since 1949, and the fertilizer plants in the United States and Germany that you mentioned must have been built in the fifties and sixties, and the new fertilizer plants will never use such a furnace again."
KT furnace and Lurgi furnace, Winkler furnace, etc., all belong to the first generation of coal gasification technology, they are characterized by low gasification capacity, coal gas contains tar, light oil and other impurities, serious environmental pollution, in foreign countries are the technology that has been eliminated.
At present, the second-generation coal gasification technology is being developed and used abroad, including the Texaco gasification method, inkstone-Cooper method, Silberg-Otto method, high-temperature Winkler method, etc., there are as many as 30 or 40 kinds.
You didn't even master the international cutting-edge technology, so you blindly set up a project, invested so much manpower and material resources, and finally developed a technology that has long been outdated.
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he didn't care about considering that the other party was a guest, and Luo Xiangfei's level was still higher than him, and he was much older than him. The technical ideas that Feng Xiaochen told him just now seemed to him to be too ridiculous, and it was difficult for him to control his emotions when he thought that tens of millions of funds would be wasted because of this.
Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen didn't say anything, they just listened quietly, and there was no expression on their faces. Wu Shican talked a lot, and found that Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen didn't react, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. He glanced at the faces of the two of them, and suddenly understood.
