Chapter 28: Righteousness is awe-inspiring
"Comrade, hello, I am the editorial staff of the "Literary Monthly", this is my work card, and our unit is managed by the Hui Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Can you interview Comrade Gu Yong from your factory? We know about his deeds from some sources, and we would like to confirm the report. β
Cai Mingxia stood very politely at the door of the office of the security department of the Qiantang Oxygen Concentrator Factory and negotiated with Wu Junfa.
She is the female reporter sent by Xiao Niu, who arrived at Qiantang after a day's journey.
Because of the work permit, the ordinary communication room uncle didn't dare to stop her. But he also knew that the factory was currently undertaking a secret project, and he couldn't interview casually, so he asked the security department to receive it.
However, although the main owner has not been interviewed for the time being, the reception in Qiantang is still very polite, not only has tea and drinks, but also entertains Cai Mingxia to go to the canteen to have a light meal first, and does not ask her for a ticket.
At the end of 77, this kind of reception specification was already good, and only state-owned enterprises with good efficiency could afford to entertain them.
Of course, Wu Junfa knew that Section Chief Gu was not easy to see at the moment, so he said in embarrassment: "Section Chief Gu is undertaking a national secret scientific research task, I'm afraid I can't see you." β
Cai Mingxia thought for a while: "Then, can you meet his son Gu Biao?" This may seem a bit ridiculous to ask, I want to know, did Comrade Xiao Gu also play a role in the scientific research tasks of your factory?"
Wu Junfa's face changed: "What's the matter? Did Xiao Gu leak state secrets outside?"
Cai Mingxia hurriedly waved her hand: "That's not true, he just wrote some general experiences of scientific research and public relations in the article, and he didn't involve secrets." β
Wu Junfa pondered the taste at this time, and he estimated that Gu Biao must have submitted something, so he was approached by someone.
"Then I'll ask for instructions. Wu Junfa asked the female reporter to wait for a while, and then ran to ask the leader for instructions.
After a while, he brought a letter of approval: "We welcome interviews on advanced deeds. He's not from our unit anyway. However, I will be on the sidelines and cannot discuss the technical details. β
Cai Mingxia hurriedly agreed: "No problem." β
A few minutes later, in a reception room in the factory office, Gu Biao was personally brought over by Wu Junfa.
Cai Mingxia showed her ID again, and then asked in a low voice: "Comrade Xiao Gu, let's confirm first: Comrade Gu Yong, the head of the technical section of our factory, is your father." You yourself joined the team as an educated youth after graduating from junior high school, and you are a fresh graduate of this year's college entrance examination - this information is correct, right?"
"That's right, do you have anything specific to ask? Could it be that it has something to do with my exam article? I think I didn't leak any state secrets in my article, and all I wrote in it was information that could be made public. Gu Biao replied very frankly.
The crystal special container was preliminarily trial-produced in April of this year. The memorial was inaugurated on May 24 and opened on September 9.
So if a company advertises that it provides technical support for some of these things, as long as it is true, it can be said that it is legal public information. What can't be said are the technical details.
Seeing that Gu Biao answered so confidently, Cai Mingxia observed his eyes and found that he was very open, so she believed it a little more.
She continued, "So can I ask, is the technology you serve to the point where a decisive breakthrough has been made?"
"It's a huge systems project. Some arguments are useless until the pre-technology is overcome......" Gu Biao carefully explained the wording.
However, Cai Mingxia thought that she had found something, and hurriedly interrupted: "Then can I understand that there is no breakthrough in key technologies?"
Gu Biao smiled.
"Comrade, please don't take it out of context and listen to me slowly. To be exact, when I wrote that essay for the exam, it was not thoroughly verified. But in the days since I came back, everything has been as I expected, because the preparations have been completedβ
At present, we have completed the most critical separation of helium and neon and the separation of two other impurities. If you don't believe it, you can read the minutes of the technical research meeting officially filed by the factory office. β
Cai Mingxia begged in disbelief to see some conclusive information that could be made public, and was shocked.
In the minutes, Gu Ao's contribution is written in great detail, and there are ins and outs. It's not the kind of thing that can take risks if you want to.
"But...... This...... Aren't you a middle school student? Comrade Xiao Gu, can you tell me how you were able to solve this problem that has plagued the most cutting-edge state-owned enterprises in China for many years by virtue of your middle school student's level of physics and chemistry. Cai Mingxia already felt that she couldn't understand.
Gu Biao motioned to the other party to ease his emotions.
He knew that in order to be convincing at such times, it was necessary to tell a story that was easy to understand and accept.
"Reporter Cai, I don't know if you know if you know about the capital pay attention to the country, and do you know that developed countries such as France, Germany and Japan all have written patent laws and patent examination guidelines. β
Cai Mingxia nodded reluctantly: "I know that there is a concept of patents, but I don't know much about the law." β
"It's okay, just know the concept, I'll teach you the rest. Gu Biao was not modest, and pointed out the country on the spot.
"In statutory law countries, almost all of the patent examination guidelines have a clause: to determine whether a new technology has an inventive step, it should be judged whether it has 'outstanding substantive features' and 'significant progress' compared with the prior art.
In judging 'outstanding substantive features' and 'remarkable progress', one should not consider whether the breakthrough was a difficult process. As long as the technical bias caused by the common knowledge of those skilled in the art is overcome, and unexpected technical effects are obtained, it is considered to be creative. β
Cai Mingxia felt that her IQ was almost insufficient, and she was simply being crushed.
She struggled to organize the wording: "You...... Do you mean that the size of the results of scientific research has nothing to do with whether the process is arduous or difficult to imagine? Sometimes, just by relying on a flash of talent, you can do things that others can't overcome?"
Wu Junfa next to her was even more confused than her, and after listening to Cai Mingxia's "translation", he was already about to give her a thumbs up.
Gu Biao nodded: "It's almost understandable, my father is the head of the technical department, so I have thought a lot about refrigeration physics and material separation since I was a child, and I have seen a lot of knowledge." Sometimes, with a few innovative mindsets, you can get it right. β
"Can you give a specific example?" Cai Mingxia asked with relish.
"The technical details can't be said...... I'll give you an analogy. Gu Biao thought about it, looked at Cai Mingxia again, and asked humorously, "Comrade Cai, I see that you also have ...... 30 years old, I guess I'm already married and have children. I'll take the example of a milk baby, you can understand it. β
"You ......" Cai Mingxia almost reprimanded Gu Biao for playing hooligan, but considering the age of the other party, knowing that he asked this purely from the perspective of ease of understanding, she endured it, "My son is three years old, you can do whatever you want, I can understand!"
Gu Biao began to ask: "Okay, Comrade Cai, if I ask you today, you have to warm the overnight breast milk in the refrigerator to just 38 degrees and feed it to the baby." But babies can't talk, they can't scream. What technological improvements can you make to the bottle to achieve this?"
"I don't have a refrigerator at home, you are talking about capital paying attention to the country. Cai Mingxia was a little out of tune.
Gu Biao was speechless: "What I said is hypothetical!"
Cai Mingxia thought for a while: "That...... Put a thermometer in a bottle? Is that the right answer?"
Gu Biao waved his hand: "There is no absolute right or wrong in technical design, as long as the purpose can be achieved, the cost and convenience are compared later." But if I tell you an additional condition now:
DuPont Chemical in the United States has just invented a plastic between 36 and 39 degrees Celsius this year, with a pink color, which will turn white and discoloration when the temperature is exceeded, and will turn bright red if the temperature is too low. Then, let me ask you again about this question, how will you solve it?"
Cai Mingxia is obviously not a science student, and lacks basic logical reasoning: "I ...... I do not know. β
Gu Biao could only pat his forehead: "Of course I use this plastic to make a bottle ring!"
Cai Mingxia was stunned: "Uh...... Wow, Comrade Xiao Gu, you are so smart. β
Gu Biao was speechless: "I can't say the technical secret, in fact, the principle is similar to this - our factory has not invented any new materials." The materials used in this project are all experiments made by foreigners. But just as DuPont had just accidentally created a plastic with a 36 to 39 degree discoloration, it didn't know what it would be best for.
The foreign company that invented the material for separating the substance did not expect that it could be used to make helium at first. In the final analysis, what I use is to overcome the inherent technical bias of those skilled in the art, to treat one existing thing as another, and to use innovation at the level of methods.
In capital-aware countries, methods are also patentable. Scientific research is not only a hard battle, but also an emancipation of the mind and a breakthrough of inherent technical prejudices. I have already written these words in my composition.
I don't want to take credit, but I just hope that my experience can be used as a reference and inspiration for my peers, so that everyone can make progress together, and there will be fewer detours and less waste of national scientific research resources, which is also good. After all, we've wasted too much time.
As to whether these words were suitable for an unqualified person like me, and whether they would cause any damage to my personal future after saying them, I didn't think much about it at the time, and I couldn't ...... it."
When Cai Mingxia heard this, the reporter's professional habits told her: There are points worth digging into.
So she hurriedly interrupted: "Then what if history can assume and give you another chance to choose? What if you could have predicted before the college entrance examination that writing like this might lead to twists and turns in your personal future? Would you still write like that?"
Very sharp question.
Gu Biao is the editor of the shock department who has seen the future generations, and his immunity to reporters digging pits is naturally super strong.
He didn't want his answer to seem too fake, so he asked Wu Junfa on the side to borrow a Jianpai cigarette, and asked for a match, and after scribbling, he took a sharp puff.
Only then did he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring expression: "*******, *******!"
