Xu Wenliang in the field of metallurgical machinery, can be said to be the existence of Taishan Beidou. Jian Jianping is also a figure in the Metallurgical Design Institute, but in front of Xu Wenliang, he can only be regarded as a grandson, so Xu Wenliang can belittle him mercilessly, and he doesn't dare to fight back.

Hearing Xu Wenliang ask how big the sky he had seen, Jian Jianping was a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Old Xu, if such a technology is put today, of course, it is nothing, and some college students can also design it." But this drawing was drawn in 1980, and at that time, how many people in the country could we find with this level?"

Xu Wenliang smiled slightly, got up and went to his bedroom to take a turn, took out a few drawings with yellowed paper, spread them out in front of Zhao Jian, Jian Jianping and others, and said: "Look at this, hehe, you can be regarded as a blessing for your eyes, I have saved it for more than 20 years, and when do I plan to donate it to the National Museum as a cultural relic." ”

Zhao Jian and Wang Fengshuo both glanced at it, but they didn't see anything famous. These are just a few ordinary drawings with some drawings drawn with drawing pencils, and because of their age, the handwriting has blurred in some places. They don't do this profession, and they are not even engineering students, so how can they understand such things.

Jian Jianping is different, he is a professional in rolling mill design, and he deals with various design drawings all day long. He looked at these drawings seriously, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said: "Old Xu, I can see, isn't this the content of the article "1700 mm Hot Rolling Mill Process Optimization" that you and Teacher Cui Yongfeng co-wrote? Let me see, this is the slab fixed width side pressure device, this is the cross roll design, this is the trick of designing the rolling mill now! My God, you mean...... Is this what you had in mind?"

More than 20 years ago, Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng jointly signed the article "1700mm Hot Rolling Mill Process Optimization" published in a well-known international metallurgical journal, which caused a shock in the field of global metallurgical equipment. In this article, Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng introduce more than a dozen new ideas for rolling mill design, which have been patented in advance. In order to obtain these patents, the international metallurgical equipment giants Sanli Steel Institute and the West Dec Klinz Company had to come up with a large number of technologies to exchange with the Chinese side, while Qin Zhong and Pu Zhong jumped several steps in the design and manufacture of rolling mills because of the patents exchanged by these Western countries.

Today, those new ideas are outdated, but the new design ideas inspired by them still guide the latest mill designs. All technologies are inherited, Jian Jianping and these people need to constantly review traditional ideas in order to put forward new design ideas, Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng's article is a classic literature in the field of rolling mills, and they can't get around it no matter what kind of innovation they do.

Because of this, when Jian Jianping saw these yellowed drawings, he understood that the slightly scribbled schematic diagrams on them were the original ideas of the designs in the article. Mechanical design always starts with an idea and then gradually takes shape. Ideas are the best way to reflect the genius of the designer, some masters do not need to draw their own drawings, just come up with some ideas, and then they can be handed over to the assistant to transform into concrete designs.

Jian Jianping himself has done this kind of work, and can naturally see how exquisite the ideas are contained in these primitive schematic diagrams, so to speak, with these sketches, any metallurgical mechanical engineer with a slight level can complete the subsequent work.

"Elder Xu, this is really a treasure!" Jian Jianping said with admiration, "How did you come up with these ideas back then?"

Xu Wenliang smiled and said, "Xiao Jane, you are mistaken, these pictures were not drawn by me. I remember it was in 1981, and the state was interested in introducing Klintz's rolling mill manufacturing technology, and I couldn't figure it out. At that time, a cadre of the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission came to my house to do my ideological work. After looking at the drawings of the rolling mill I designed, he told me that my design thinking has fallen behind, and I need to have an open mind to accept international advanced technology for my use. Seeing that he couldn't convince me, he told me some of his own ideas for the future of the rolling mill, which was the sketch he had drawn at the time. ”

"What you are talking about, is it Teacher Cui Yongfeng? No, hasn't he been working in Qinzhong all the time?" Jian Jianping was a little confused. These sketches were not drawn by Xu Wenliang, but these techniques appeared in the articles written by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng, so they can only be Cui Yongfeng's contributions. However, this is unreasonable, Jian Jianping knew Cui Yongfeng, and knew that Cui Yongfeng had always worked in Qinzhong, and had never worked in the State Economic Commission, and Xu Wenliang clearly said that this was painted for him by a cadre of the State Economic Commission.

"It's not Yongfeng. Xu Wenliang said, "The comrade who drew the picture for me was only 20 years old at the time, and he only had a junior high school education......

"You mean ......" Jian Jianping's eyes widened, and no matter how wooden he was, he could hear who Xu Wenliang was referring to. At this moment, he only felt that the alpaca in his heart was running wild, and he wanted to sing "My Sun" like Pavarotti, and his knees were a little weak, and he wanted to kneel......

Zhao Jian also understood, and even reacted faster than Jian Jianping, he stepped forward, carefully examined these drawings, and asked in disbelief: "Elder Xu, do you mean that this is what Comrade Feng Xiaochen painted? And in 1981?"

"Exactly. Xu Wenliang said in a reserved tone.

"Well, we...... , can we take a few pictures?" Wang Fengshuo stammered.

"Absolutely. Xu Wenliang responded.

Wang Fengshuo took out the camera he had with him and snapped the drawings. There are annotations written by Feng Xiaochen on the drawings, and in the future, as long as you do a handwriting appraisal, you can judge whether Xu Wenliang's words are true. A person's handwriting is characteristic, and it will vary from age to age. In the archives of the former Economic Commission, you can find the reports written by Feng Xiaochen back then, the resumes he filled out, and so on, which have his handwriting around 1981, and the discipline department is very professional in doing this kind of appraisal work.

Jian Jianping also recovered from his shock at this time, and he asked Xu Wenliang: "Old Xu, do you mean that these thoughts are actually provided by Mr. Feng, and you and Teacher Cui are just ...... Uh, I mean......"

He didn't know how to continue, and the rest of the words were really a little unpleasant. Xu Wenliang spoke up for him: "You are right, the original creator of these ideas is Xiao Feng, Yongfeng and I just perfected his thoughts, and the biggest contribution is not us, but Xiao Feng." However, when publishing the article, Xiao Feng firmly disagreed with us to write his name in the front, and was not even willing to write his name in the list of authors. You can look for the article from that year, we only wrote his name in the acknowledgement. Alas, speaking of which, both of us took advantage of Xiao Feng. ”

"But why is that?" Jian Jianping was a little puzzled. In academic institutions, authorship has always been a matter of contention. For the sake of who first came up with an idea, old friends for decades can turn against each other. The article by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng has an astonishingly high citation rate, and if it is placed today, this article can be rated as a professor. Since Feng Xiaochen is the original author of these ideas, why did he refuse to sign it?

"This is Mr. Feng's Gao Feng Liang Festival. Zhao Jian said with emotion. What Jian Jianping can't understand, he can figure out. Over the years, Feng Xiaochen has been willing to be an unsung hero a lot, and outsiders don't know that the disciplinary department is looking at it. Many things that are considered great honors by others, Feng Xiaochen will give them to colleagues and colleagues at will. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, Feng Xiaochen will not hesitate to let his family's business come out and contribute to the country in vain.

The right of authorship of an article is indeed very important to Jian Jianping, or Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng, but Feng Xiaochen was a cadre of the Economic Commission back then and was not ready to take the technical route, so it is meaningless to sign in the article, and it is better to give the right of authorship to Xu Wenliang. Of course, it doesn't make much sense to say it, it's just that relatively speaking, having the title of a well-known scholar is also very useful for organ cadres, but Feng Xiaochen disdains to pursue it.

Zhao Jian has always known that Feng Xiaochen is a selfless person, but he has an idea that Feng Xiaochen is like this now, which does not mean that it was the same more than 20 years ago. After all, Feng Xiaochen was only 20 years old at that time, and his worldview had not yet taken shape. Combined with the past that Xu Wenliang said, Zhao Jian can be sure that Feng Xiaochen has been a noble person since he was young, a pure person, and a person who has escaped from low-level interests......

Xu Wenliang sold Guanzi for a long time, just to draw out Zhao Jian's words. Hearing Zhao Jian say this, he said to everyone with a posture of relying on the old and selling the old: "You think a set of bending roller tandem device is amazing, but for Xiao Feng, it is just a small invention. Each of our 15 patents is worth more than 10 million dollars, and the technology we exchanged from Sanli and Klinz with those 15 sets of patents is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Think about it, if Xiao Feng is a greedy person, will he contribute such technology for free?"

"I see. Zhao Jian nodded desperately, "Mr. Feng's consciousness is really worthy of our admiration, we can't look at him with the eyes of ordinary people." ”

Xu Wenliang was still unsatisfied, and continued: "Also, if you think that he will cause losses to the country by selling such technology as the bending roller tandem device to foreigners, then I can also tell you that you are wrong. This technology did not play a role in the manufacture of rolling mills in our country back then, because our technical level had not yet reached this level. Later, we learned the techniques of Sanli and Klintz, and the level improved, and Xiao Feng specially approached me and Yongfeng and told us about several new curved stick tandem techniques, which were far more sophisticated than the techniques he sold to foreign companies. In other words, he actually invented several technologies, and as a result, he sold the worst technology to foreigners, and kept the best technology, and gave it directly to Qin Chong without taking a penny. ”
