Chapter 328: Beginning to Show Strength
In the morning, after arranging the relevant matters of the materials laboratory of the Fenghua Research Institute, in the afternoon, Liu Feng had a face-to-face academic exchange with Academician Ding Chuanxian at the Beijing University of Science and Technology.
However, unlike Mr. Ke, Academician Ding is more good at the research of inorganic materials, plasma coating materials and related applied basic science, especially in the field of functional inorganic ceramic materials, which is even more famous, but he has little contact with metal materials, especially the room temperature superconducting materials that Liu Feng is now engaged in.
Therefore, although Liu Feng has gained a lot from this exchange, it has not contributed much to his current research.
Despite this, the exchange between the two went on very pleasantly.
In particular, Academician Ding was very shocked by Liu Feng's still erudite knowledge of inorganic materials and plasma coating materials.
So much so that he had the illusion that Liu Feng didn't look like a young man who was only 19 years old and about the same age as his grandson, but more like an old man who was poor and rich!
It's no wonder that people are able to achieve such things at such a young age:
With such a broad and profound academic foundation, coupled with the abundant energy of young people, supplemented by the inspiration of genius, if he does not succeed, who else can succeed?
β¦β¦
After communicating with Academician Ding, Liu Feng hurried back to Ningbo Institute of Materials.
Half of those who have traveled a hundred miles are ninety.
Although he has eliminated the research routes of the target room temperature superconducting materials through the calculation program, even the remaining research routes still need to be tried and verified by a huge number of experiments.
As long as the superconducting materials at room temperature are not put into production for one day, the complete localization of the supercollider will not be successful.
It's just that in the next experiment, he no longer needs to operate the whole process by himself.
On Academician Cui Kun's side, after this academic conference, this stubborn and rigorous old gentleman finally agreed with Liu Feng's research route on room temperature superconducting materials, took the initiative to give up the research on low-temperature superconducting materials, and arranged most of the resources of the institute to the topic of room temperature superconductivity.
If the experiment goes well, Liu Feng will once again be able to act as the shopkeeper and hand over the research and development of superconducting materials at room temperature to Academician Cui.
However, things did not always go the way he expected, and he once again underestimated the impact of the several materials science-related calculations he had published.
β¦β¦
Modu Institute of Silicate Materials, Huaguo Academy of Engineering.
Sensitive Functional Ceramics Laboratory.
"What, suspend the progress of experimental research and wait for the notice?" After reading the notice brought by his colleagues, which was unanimously agreed by Academician Ding, the director of the laboratory, and the leaders of the institute, Zhang Kong couldn't help but exclaim.
Although he was only a team leader in the lab, he had the privilege of being in charge of a sub-project on his own, and the topic of the project was very new and high-end - the research of a sensitive functional ceramic material, mainly applied to high-performance sensors.
However, it is a pity that most of the experimental routes of this sub-project were designed by Academician Ding Chuanxian, and until now, he is still trying to follow these routes, and success has been far away.
Therefore, Zhang Kong's heart has always been anxious.
Speaking of which, the so-called sensitive functional ceramics have a wide range of applications in sensors and micro-action actuators for mechatronics.
However, in some key high-performance sensors, such as the array detector of the super collider, the sensors on it have a very big gap with similar foreign products, and on the whole, the technical level still needs to be improved.
Therefore, the state has continued to invest in this type of material project, but so far, the results are not satisfactory.
If you want to make a big breakthrough in this area in a short period of time, it is indeed difficult for a strong man, and this is very clear to both the person who gave the money above and Academician Ding himself who is in charge of the project, so for Zhang Kong, Academician Ding's requirements are actually not high.
It's good to be able to eliminate the impossible route step by step, as for what step can be done next - three points are luck, seven points depend on hard work, and can only rely on continuous experimental accumulation and providence.
The research of materials science is often like this, many times there is no clear research route, so these projects are often basically the elimination method, little by little through experiments to eliminate a possible route, in the end, when the results can be achieved, in fact, no one knows, it depends on luck.
This is the same both at home and abroad.
The more possibilities that are eliminated, the closer to success, which is why materials research is a basic science that depends on accumulation, which is why.
Fortunately, even these 'elimination' experiments have a certain research value, and if the east is not bright and the west is bright, maybe they will come up with materials that will be helpful for other projects!
This kind of thing often happens with a high probability of happening, so researchers are not all doing useless work.
It's just that this point is not reconciled to all those who are interested in achieving something in this area!
Zhang Kong is like this.
worked hard for more than half a year, but the final result was to let him suspend the experiment, and then, it is very likely that the project will be yellow, how can this not make him full of resentment.
"The progress of our experiment is already a headache, and now we have to pause, why! Academician Ding just went to the capital, how could he come back and announce such news......
"Yes, what does it mean! The brain was kicked by a donkey?" In this regard, my colleague Li Xiaofeng was also very speechless, and then said a little unconfidently, "Could it be that the progress of our project is very slow, and we plan to stop our project!"
"Probably not!" Zhang Kong's heart was actually bottomless, after all, there were more than one or two incidents in which the experimental project was suddenly announced to be stopped.
Unwillingly, he read the notice in his hand again...... Suddenly, Zhang Kong's pupils shrank, as if he had discovered a new continent, and he almost jumped.
"Yes, no! You read the notice again, and this time it's not just our projects, all, yes, all projects are stopped! You understand?"
"No, I'll take a look at ......" Li Xiaofeng was shocked by the notice of suspension of the experiment at first, so he didn't read the content of the notice carefully, and when he heard Zhang Kong say this, he hurriedly took the notice and read it word by word.
Soon.
"Hiss!" Li Xiaofeng also gasped, opened his mouth wide in surprise, "It's really! Lao Zhang, what kind of crazy people do you say these people above are going crazy this time, why did you suspend all the projects in the laboratory?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhang Kongxin was even more puzzled, "I also want to know what happened to them?"
β¦β¦
What's going on?
The front-line researchers of the entire research institute and even some of the middle-level technical leaders also want to know this question.
However, the people above did not explain this, but only ordered the experiment to be stopped temporarily.
Of course, it's not that no one can't help but directly find the people above to ask, but the leaders and those R&D backbones seem to have unanimously said that they are okay, and they are tight-lipped about it, and only say that they will be arranged one project at a time to let them rest easy.
Undoubtedly, this makes the people below more and more curious.
"You say, what the hell are they doing, and they are not afraid of delaying the progress of the experiment, and it is not easy to make a difference?"
"What are you afraid of, the leaders don't have to worry about bad deals, what are we worried about!"
"It's right, but what the hell is going on? β
Some people with big brains instantly guessed: "Could it be that there is a big problem with the funds of our research institute! Someone is a big tiger?"
"Shh......h Be quiet!" The little friends around him hurriedly stopped, looked around, and then said with confidence, "However, what you said is quite reasonable, it seems that there is a big tiger about to fall." β
It's just that more people are full of worries about this: "In case it hurts us pond fish......"
"Don't be so negative, maybe, this is our chance?" comforted many guys with bright eyes.
ββWhere there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this is the state of all living beings.
Don't think that people who engage in scientific research are honest people, sometimes, honest people gossip more than anyone else!
After all, this is a group of science and engineering men who face cold instruments and headache papers all day long, and the pressure on the institute is often very high, and there is not much spare time, so these people are only one step away from being crazy.
Once they have free time, the pressure released by these people will probably be able to propel the spaceship into space!
Therefore, in a research institute like this, the general supporting entertainment facilities are very complete, and the managers are also very afraid of this, so they can only do their best to do a good job, and occasionally engage in activities or something to let these people decompress - it's just that how many people can have time for entertainment, it is really unknown......
Just like Liu Feng, there are not a few laboratory otaku who lock themselves in the laboratory all day long, and even end their morning jog for months!
However, things will eventually disappoint some guys whose hearts are higher than the sky, because the reason why the experiment was suspended was not because of the collapse of the big tiger, but because of Liu Feng!
It's just a few small programs that he researched casually!
Previously, when Academician Ding Chuanxian returned to the institute from Beijing, several senior leaders and research backbones of the institute who had been waiting for a long time gathered together to conduct in-depth study and research on Liu Feng's calculation program.
In response to the questions that everyone gathered and summarized, as a representative figure, Academician Ding, who received clarification from Liu Feng, naturally answered them one by one.
After the explanation was over, everyone was of course relieved.
Therefore, in the second half of the process, at the suggestion of Academician Ding, these people simply conducted a re-evaluation discussion on all the materials research projects of the institute.
The final voting results showed that those present unanimously agreed with the proposal and decided to re-evaluate all the materials research projects of the institute!
As for the reason, the vast majority of the research routes can be excluded through the calculation program, which gives the research of new materials, I don't know how much time and how much manpower and material resources can be saved!
Although the leaders also know that this matter will cause a lot of criticism, the sooner this work starts, the sooner it will benefit, so it can only be left to the guesses of the people below.
After all, they can't afford to take a vacation these days, right? Who knows which projects will soon be approved and the experiment will be restarted!
And that's exactly what happened!
Only one day has passed since the notice of suspension of experiments, and many project teams have been approved to carry out experiments.
Those who are interested can find that these project teams that will soon be able to continue experimenting are those projects that already have a clear experimental route, or simply have preliminary results.
Of course, these projects do not need to be calculated with Liu Feng's calculation program.
However, as time passed, the senior management of the institute responsible for re-reviewing the project also passed the evaluation of other projects one by one.
On this day, Zhang Kong was called to the office by Academician Ding Chuanxian.
"Zhang Kong, where are the projects in your hands?"
Looking at Academician Ding's serious face, Zhang Kong only felt a tightness in his heart:
"Lord, director, I have tried terbium oxide - a high-temperature NTC sensitive functional material with yttrium oxide series fluorite structure, and the remaining spinel structures such as alumina, cobalt, and alumina-nickel oxide are still trying......"
"Then you don't have to try it in the future!" Academician Ding waved his hand, and under Zhang Kong's dead expression, he directly announced, "From tomorrow onwards, you will ...... The new research route is similar to the CTR structure of Mg(AlO2COFeO2)2. β
"Huh?"
Zhang Kong almost thought that his ears were broken!
Next, shouldn't it be: from tomorrow, you won't use?
These days, the news that the big tiger has embezzled a large amount of research funds from the institute has spread, causing many people in the laboratory to panic.
Zhang Kong is the same.
Because it is very likely that due to financial loopholes or standing on the wrong team, many projects will be unsustainable and will be cut directly.
This kind of thing, Zhang Kong has heard some seniors talk about, and it has happened more than once or twice before.
However, the final result, I didn't expect it to be like this?
The project was not axed, but just changed the technical route?
I heard you right!
"Why?" Zhang Kong asked subconsciously.
Academician Ding directly handed over a stack of materials on the table to him, and did not explain much: "There is no reason, I can't explain it to you clearly, you just have to do what I instruct." β
"Oh......"
mechanically walked out of the director's office, and Zhang Kong directly slapped himself twice.
What the hell is going on?
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the research institute, there was an endless stream of researchers who treated them like Zhang Kong.
However, these people have found that their project can still go on, but in a different way.
In short, just change it, anyway, they are just some low-level researchers, and there are orders from above, and they can only accept it unconditionally.
As for the explanation they wanted, it seemed that their leaders had unanimously made a confession - no comment!
It wasn't until a few months later that most of these people were very surprised to find that after the last experiment was suspended, the experimental route under the guidance of the leader had miraculously achieved amazing results!
The project that I was afraid to be sure of in the past few years has the results in just a few months, and even if I am lucky, I get the final results in a month or two!
Why, exactly?
Is it because these people are the leaders, and they are only at the bottom?
While overjoyed, many people buried deep doubts in their hearts......
Of course, Huaguo's materials research laboratory is naturally not the only one.
And the experts and professors who are qualified to use Liu Feng's calculation programs are not only high-level people from the Magic Capital Research Institute.
For example, well-known professors of materials schools of some key universities, heads of materials research of some military enterprises, and so on.
There is no doubt that these people who have access to material calculation programs are all masters in the field of materials science with a certain status!
Moreover, at the first time, these people, like Academician Ding Chuanxian, conducted a re-evaluation of their unit's material research project.
In a short period of time, I don't know how many people have benefited from this, so that in the next few months, Huaguo's materials science papers have exploded, almost several times more than usual!
This is especially true in some secrecy units......
