Gao Xin did not promise to settle the 20,000 yuan fund for himself first, and the rest of the funds will be decided after the discussion at the office meeting. Wang Hongtai, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, said a few cruel words to Gao Xinwei, and then went to Dong Hongying to send a list to buy materials. He couldn't wait until everything was solved before starting work, and that would be too much time to lose.

Gao Xin didn't say hello to Dong Hongying, and Dong Hongying didn't embarrass Wang Hongtai anymore and sent his purchase requisition to the school. Two weeks later, various materials were purchased one after another, and Wang Hongtai and several colleagues with close research directions began to work intensively, and for a while they didn't care about looking for Gao Xinwei's theory.

Gao Xinwei paid more attention to this matter, although Wang Hongtai did not urge him, he still consulted with Qu Shoulin, Wu Ronggen and others to discuss whether to increase the amount of funds for Wang Hongtai. Qu Shoulin and others disagreed with this, they believe that the Heavy Equipment Office must have looked away on this issue, and the topic of ruthenium catalyst has just begun in foreign countries, and people are so strong that they have not made any reputation, so what qualifications do we have to be this up-and-coming bird? With so much funding, we should fund those more important topics. As the so-called thousand sheep are in sight, it is better to have a rabbit in hand.

As for which topics are more important, the answer is also very clear, the topics that several of them do are of course important topics, they are all big bulls in the industry, can there be a wrong direction to choose?

Gao Xin didn't want to get back some funds for Wang Hongtai, after all, he was the head of the department, and he still needed to consider the impact. But Qu Shoulin and the others did not let go, and it was difficult for Gao Xinwei to convince them. came and went, and a few months passed. Helpless Gao Xin didn't think about it, since Wang Hongtai was now able to do experiments, it was better to wait for him to make a name call and then consider the issue of funding. If he can't make a name for himself at all, why waste money?

After Wang Hongtai completed the first round of experiments, there were really no results. It's not that there's anything wrong with his experiment, but that, according to the original design, this stage was originally a make-up lesson, and it hasn't reached the stage where it can produce results. Based on the revelations obtained from the first phase of the experiment, Wang Hongtai designed the second round of experiments. In this round of experiments, more experimental materials are needed, and several experimental equipment that are not available in school laboratories must be purchased, with a total expenditure of more than 20,000 yuan. Coupled with the materials purchased in the previous round, his total expenditure has exceeded the amount of 20,000 yuan promised by Gao Xinwei before, and Dong Hongying naturally could not approve it, so the lawsuit hit Gao Xinwei again.

In the face of Wang Hongtai's questioning, Gao Xin did not say the results of his coordination with Qu Shoulin and others, and also euphemistically relayed Qu Shoulin's pessimistic evaluation of this topic, and suggested that Wang Hongtai should shrink his thinking a little and not be too ambitious. Where is Wang Hongtai willing to do it, he sent a biao to Gao Xinwei again, but this time he failed to solve the problem. The experimental equipment he needed could not be included in the procurement plan, and the reagent materials he needed were also discounted, and the follow-up experiments were suddenly stuck and could not be carried out.

Months spent in this kind of bickering. Because the experiment could not be done, Wang Hongtai could only do some theoretical research first, and at the same time devote a lot of energy to fight against Gao Xinwei. Later, seeing that Gao Xinwei had been delaying time, Wang Hongtai went to the school's science and technology department again and asked Zhang Huaibin, the director of science and technology, to come forward to put pressure on Gao Xinwei.

Zhang Huaibin was the leader of the team who took Wang Hongtai and his entourage to the capital to defend at the beginning, and he had a good impression of Wang Hongtai, and after hearing about his experience, he was also quite sympathetic and promised to help him do some coordination work. However, when Gao Xin did not tell Zhang Huaibin that the funds were embezzled by Qu Shoulin, Wu Ronggen and other top bulls, Zhang Huaibin was speechless. Qu Shoulin These people are the treasures of the school, and he is the director of science and technology, so he doesn't dare to fight these people.

During this time, Wang Hongtai was most afraid of the rearmament office coming over to inquire about the progress of the project, because his progress was too slow to explain to the rearmament office. He also thought about whether he could ask the reloading office to reflect this matter and let the reloading office help solve it. But every time he picked up the phone, he hesitated again. Once this matter is stabbed to the Heavy Equipment Office, the Department of Chemical Engineering and even Pudong Jiaotong University will be affected, and it is difficult to imagine what kind of reaction the Heavy Equipment Office will make. After all, Wang Hongtai still has to stay at Pudong Jiaotong University, and he doesn't dare to tear his face with the school easily.

A few days ago, Wu Shican finally called to learn about the preliminary results. Wang Hongtai was hesitant and emphasized some objective difficulties, which can be regarded as fooling Wu Shican. In fact, Wu Shican had already guessed the problem from his words, but because he was thousands of miles away and couldn't come over to understand the details in person, he didn't investigate it deeply. Wang Hongtai's psychological pressure was even worse, and he was so worried that he didn't sleep well for several nights.

"Teacher Wang, someone is looking for you. ”

A graduate student walked into the lab and reported to Wang. This student's name is Yan Han, a native of Pujiang, and a graduate student under the name of an associate professor in the department.

"Who is it?" Wang Hongtai asked casually.

Yan Han hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Teacher Wang, he said that he came from the capital, and his surname is Feng." ”

"The surname is Feng!" Wang Hongtai is a spirit, and he only knows one person surnamed Feng in the capital, and that is Feng Xiaochen, deputy director of the General Division of the Heavy Equipment Office. On the day of the project application defense, Feng Xiaochen sat on the judges' bench, and it was he who first said the amount of 500,000 yuan. Judging from Wu Shican's performance at that time, he greatly admired and even respected the young Director Feng, and it seemed that Director Feng's position in this matter was quite important.

"Hurry up and invite him in!" Wang Hongtai hurriedly stood up and commanded Yan Han. Taking the opportunity of going out to invite Feng Xiaochen in the cold cold, he tidied up his clothes, and reached out and rubbed his face vigorously a few times, so that his face, which was a little stiff because of depression, became relaxed, and then squeezed out a smile and greeted him outside the door.

"Teacher Wang, take the liberty of disturbing!"

It was Feng Xiaochen who followed Yan Han into the laboratory. Seeing Wang Hongtai, he smiled and stretched out his hand, and greeted warmly at the same time.

"Director Feng, rare guest, rare guest. Wang Hongtai shook hands with Feng Xiaochen, bowed down and made an inviting gesture, let Feng Xiaochen into the laboratory, and sat down in the office area of the laboratory. Yan Han had some eyes, so he quickly found two cups, and poured two cups of tea for the two after cleaning.

After the two of them said a few words, Feng Xiaochen brought the conversation back to the topic, and said to Wang Hongtai: "Teacher Wang, I came to Pujiang on a business trip this time, and Director Wu specifically told me to come to Pudong Jiaotong University for a walk and visit the various teachers who undertook the project for our rearmament office, and especially explained that I must come to see you, Mr. Wang." Director Wu has great hopes for the ruthenium catalyst project you undertake, and he also said that Mr. Wang has a solid academic foundation and broad vision, and is a rare talent, and the development of our country's synthetic ammonia industry in the future is inseparable from the support of young talents like Mr. Wang. ”

Feng Xiaochen's words were very full, and he could be said to be not stingy with praise. But the more he said this, the more embarrassed Wang Hongtai became. If Feng Xiaochen said that the Heavy Equipment Office didn't care about this subject at all, Wang Hongtai would have accepted it. Now that people have said that they have high hopes for this subject and make themselves look like this bird, how can they explain it?

"Professor Wu has won the award, but in fact, I am only a shallow learner and my ability is limited, so it is really ...... to undertake such an important project Well, I can't do it, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Professor Wu and Director Feng. Wang Hongtai replied sneeringly.

A strange brilliance flashed in Feng Xiaochen's eyes, and he asked calmly, "What did Mr. Wang say about this, isn't the progress of the project going well?"

Wang Hongtai stubbornly said: "Well...... It's true that some things didn't go well, and we ran into some obstacles, and we're looking at how to fix them. ”

"What kind of obstacle is exactly?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Wang Hongtai hesitated for a moment and said: "According to the method in foreign literature, we used activated carbon as a carrier to realize the preparation of ruthenium catalyst by impregnation method, and carried out catalytic experiments in the microreactor, and obtained the same results as foreign counterparts, confirming that ruthenium-based catalysts do have good application prospects." Experiments show that the selection of ruthenium parent compounds, preparation methods, carriers, cocatalysts and other factors will have an important impact on the performance of ruthenium catalysts. In the next stage, we consider using an orthogonal experimental method to compare these factors and screen out the combination with the best performance and cost......"

"Isn't that great?" Feng Xiaochen smiled, "I remember that your original scheme design was like this, and now it seems that the first phase of the experiment was successful, and it is completely possible to enter the second phase of research." In terms of timing, the second phase of the study must have been going on for more than two months, right?

"There was a slight delay in this matter. Wang Hongtai said. Obviously, Feng Xiaochen has done enough homework and knows the situation of this project well. Indeed, according to the schedule, Wang Hongtai should have started the second phase of the experiment at least two months ago, but because the required materials and equipment were not in place, these experiments have not yet begun, let alone achieved any results.

Feng Xiaochen frowned and asked, "What link was delayed?"

"In terms of equipment, something happened. Wang Hongtai could only open his eyes and talk nonsense, "The original gas chromatograph in our laboratory was suddenly damaged and sent back to the manufacturer for repair, but it has not been repaired so far." Our experiments required a gas chromatograph to analyze the composition of the reaction products, and because of the lack of equipment, the experiment had to be suspended. ”
