Wang Genji was busy acting, Feng Xiaochen was not idle, accompanied by Wu Shican, he came to the Department of Chemical Engineering of Pujiang Jiaotong University to visit Wang Hongtai, who was already well-known in China.

"Professor Wang, I took the liberty of interrupting it, it didn't affect Professor Wang's work, right?"

After sitting down on the big sofa in Wang Hongtai's office, Feng Xiaochen said with a smile to Wang Hongtai, who was already obviously a little blessed.

Wang Hongtai's assistant brought tea to Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican, and then sat aside, holding a small notebook and preparing to take notes. Wang Hongtai moved a chair, sat opposite Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican, and said with a smile on his face: "What did Mr. Feng say, without Mr. Feng and Minister Wu supporting the research project I proposed back then, how could I Wang Hongtai be today." The two of you will always be the most honored guests to my laboratory, how can you say anything that disturbs you or not. ”

"What is Professor Wang's current topic?" Feng Xiaochen asked again.

Wang Hongtai said with a self-contained face: "There is no big project, that is, there is a key project of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which is about to be completed, but I am applying for the next phase of the project." In addition, there is a project in Pujiang City, which is for enterprises, which is more applied and does not have much theoretical innovation. In fact, I didn't want to take this project at first, but then the leaders of the city called the school's science and technology department, and the science and technology department asked me to discuss, and I took it. To be honest, I don't really like to do this kind of applied project, I waste a lot of time, and I can't produce any weighty papers, which is a complete waste of energy. ”

Hearing Wang Hongtai say this, Wu Shican frowned, and was about to say something, when Feng Xiaochen made a gesture to him, signaling him to be calm and calm, and then spoke first.

"Professor Wang, I'm sorry, we didn't know that you didn't take on applied topics. Actually, Minister Wu and I are here this time to ask you to help us do an applied project, and I don't know if it will delay your time. Feng Xiaochen said politely, with some sarcasm in his words, but he couldn't hear it if he didn't listen carefully.

Wang Hongtai hesitated for a moment, but the smile on his face did not decrease, and he asked: "What kind of project is it, can Mr. Feng introduce it to me? If it doesn't take too much time, how can I refuse what Mr. Feng explains?"

Isn't the meaning of your refusal obvious? Before I could speak, you first added a condition, saying that "if it doesn't take too much time," isn't this just pushing out? Feng Xiaochen sneered, and his heart was also full of emotion: This is called the passage of time, Wang Hongtai was just a small lecturer back then, and he went to the capital to apply for a project just to serve as a foil for others. At that time, he and Wu Shican knew each other, didn't mind his low title, and gave him a huge grant of 500,000 yuan, which led to his today's achievements. But when Lecturer Wang became Professor Wang, his face could become so unfamiliar, and what he said just now was completely out of his eyes for the equipment industry company.

"This project is about the realization of the ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process. ”

Feng Xiaochen had an idea in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just calmly introduced the truth of the matter to Wang Hongtai.

Wang Hongtai was still a little careless at first, and Feng Xiaochen could even feel that he was searching for reasons to refuse. But when he heard that the equipment industry company planned to apply the ruthenium catalyst ammonia synthesis process to four sets of large fertilizer equipment in Argentina, Wang Hongtai's spirit suddenly rose, he said: "Great, in this way, the ruthenium catalyst process is not just an idea, but has a practical application, which will definitely cause a sensation in the academic community!"

"Yes, in this process, Professor Wang will definitely be able to collect a large amount of process data, and maybe he will be able to publish a few very important articles. Feng Xiaochen followed his words and said.

Wang Hongtai was a little embarrassed, and said hypocritically: "It's not important, the most important thing is to win glory for the country." The ruthenium catalyst process was the first to be proposed by me in China, and there is no authoritative conclusion on whether it is successful or not. If it can be applied to these four sets of equipment in Argentina, then the feasibility of this process has been confirmed, and I can be regarded as having an explanation for the country. ”

Wu Shican nodded and said, "That's right, Xiao Wang, we are engaged in chemical industry, and the main task is to design chemical equipment for the country, and the paper is just a by-product." Compared with foreign countries, there is still a big gap between our country's chemical technology, which requires us to make more efforts to combine our professional knowledge with practice to help the production department improve its technical level. ”

"Minister Wu is right, we should do this. Wang Hongtai echoed. Wu Shican is not only the director of the strategic planning department of the equipment company, but also an old-timer in the chemical field, and he is qualified to say the above words to Wang Hongtai. No matter how arrogant Wang Hongtai is, he still has to pretend to be a little bit of a rule in front of his predecessors.

"So, did Professor Wang agree to participate in this project?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Wang Hongtai nodded: "It is my duty." Mr. Feng, I would like to ask, how long will this project take?"

"About half a year. Feng Xiaochen said.

Wang Hongtai said embarrassedly: "In about half a year, there is no problem." However, I still have two articles at hand that I have not yet finished, and the ideas put forward in these two articles are still some novel and unique, and they should be able to attract some attention. Mr. Feng, can you give me a grace period of one month to finish the article first, and then go all out to devote myself to the project. ”

"This ......" Wu Shican's face was a little ugly, and he stopped talking.

Feng Xiaochen said very calmly: "Professor Wang, I'm very sorry, I'm afraid we can't give you a month. Argentina is asking for a very tight schedule of these four big fertilizers, and we are trying to negotiate with the other side, hoping that the other side will give us some grace time. It can be said that every minute we have now has been won for us by the negotiating team in front of us, and we have no right to waste it. ”

"It's a bit tricky. Wang Hongtai said in a long voice, he pressed his waist with his hand, and said: "Mr. Feng, I just said that there are two articles that have not been written, but in fact, it is not the main reason. The main reason why I wanted to delay for a month was that I had just been diagnosed with a bit of lumbar muscle strain and could not exercise vigorously, so the doctor asked me to do a month of physiotherapy. I didn't say that just now, and I don't want you to worry about me. ”

"That's ......" Feng Xiaochen muttered to himself, looking at Wang Hongtai with a smile on his face, waiting for him to continue performing.

Wang Hongtai was stared at by Feng Xiaochen a little hairy, he turned his head to look at the assistant sitting on the side, and said, "Zhiyuan, you should know, my waist hurts, and I can't do anything." ”

The assistant nodded and said to Feng Xiaochen, "Mr. Feng, this is true. Mr. Wang's waist was strained during an experiment, and it has not been well, and he is doing physiotherapy during this time, and it is indeed difficult to walk away. ”

"Yes, that has to be cured, don't fall into the root of the disease. Feng Xiaochen replied casually, his mind was racing and thinking, thinking about whether he could find someone else to replace Wang Hongtai. Wang Hongtai's current performance is really difficult for people to dare to entrust him with heavy responsibilities.

"Why don't you ......" The assistant looked at Feng Xiaochen, then at Wang Hongtai, and said, "Teacher Wang, why don't I bring Qian Min and Jia Chunlei first, and go to help Mr. Feng and them." Regarding the realization of the ruthenium catalyst process, I have done several projects with you, and I have some experience. You can do physiotherapy with peace of mind to recover from the old injuries on your back, and then you will guide us in our work. Until then, if there's anything I can't solve, I'll be able to ask you over the phone. ”

"That's fine. Wang Hongtai happily responded, he turned his head to Feng Xiaochen and said: "Mr. Feng, let me introduce you, Xiao Xu, Xu Zhiyuan, is a doctor I bring, and he is very capable." He is currently working on a doctoral dissertation on ruthenium catalysts. Why don't you let him take a few of my other master's students with you first and solve some superficial problems? I'll go and get my waist treated first, and when it's a little better, I'll go to the capital. ”

Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "That's fine, just ask Xu and a few other graduate students to come with us first." However, we are not going back to the capital, but to the coast. At present, Binhai No. 2 Fertilizer Plant is under construction, and we are considering using the equipment of Binhai No. 2 Chemical to carry out large-scale process experiments on ruthenium catalysts. Now the experts of the National Chemical Design Institute, Xinyang No. 2 Chemical Machinery and other units have rushed to Binhai, and they have a good grasp of the technology of equipment manufacturing, but they are not very familiar with the application of ruthenium catalyst. Since Professor Wang said that Xu also has a full understanding of ruthenium catalysts, please come with us, I don't know if it is convenient for Xu. ”

"No problem, I can go anytime. Xu Zhiyuan said briskly.

Wang Hongtai wished that someone could handle the errand for him. He didn't want to offend the equipment industry company, nor did he want to offend Feng Xiaochen and Wu Shican, there may be some elements of gratitude, but more of a consideration of interests. He has heard of the status of the equipment industry company, and it is of course the best to be able to offend the equipment company.

"If Zhiyuan goes with you, I will be relieved. His professional skills are still very good, and conventional problems can definitely be solved. If you encounter any problems, just ask Zhiyuan to call me, and if necessary, I can also fly over to have a look. Wang Hongtai said.

"Alright, let's settle it. Feng Xiaochen stood up. He shook hands with Wang Hongtai, stretched out his hand to Xu Zhiyuan, and said, "Xiao Xu, then it's hard for you." Professor Wang's ruthenium catalyst process can be described as a sword sharpening for ten years, and now it is time for it to contribute to the country. Professor Wang is in poor health and can't go to Binhai, so he will have to trouble you and other students to make more efforts. ”

Xu Zhiyuan held Feng Xiaochen's hand and said solemnly: "Mr. Feng, don't worry, we will work hard to win glory for the country." ”
