Qin Jingbin's words are right, Lu Jiadong's idea is indeed very good, but who to cooperate with, how to cooperate is a big problem, take the production of artillery steel special steel plant as an example, there are many large and small factories in the country, in the end, which one has strong technical strength, which one has more advanced facilities and equipment, which one has a research and development foundation, and so on, and a series of problems can not be solved in a moment.

What's more, if we have to meet the condition of having a technical expert with rich experience in steelmaking, it is even more necessary to invest a lot of energy to find and screen, but even so, how to measure whether the experience is rich or lacking? What is the criterion for judging? This reciprocation is equivalent to being limited to a closed circle, and it is absolutely impossible to do it without spending a lot of time and making great efforts, but at present, for the research and development team of the new artillery, the most precious thing is precisely time!

It was precisely because the participants knew the truth in this, so when Qin Jingbin finished saying this, everyone in the venue either nodded, or was silent, or smoked sullenly, but their eyes all focused on the young chief teacher sitting on the main seat, Lu Jiadong.

And Lu Jiadong naturally knew the deep meaning of Qin Jingbin's question, because of this, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but lock his brows again, Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting next to Lu Jiadong, was also pondering for a moment at this time, looked at Lu Jiadong's slightly depressed face, and softly comforted:

"Xiao Lu, should we think about this idea again?"

Listening to Wang Chuanchen's words, Lu Jiadong took a deep puff of cigarette, and then spit out two puffs of smoke rings. After soothing his mind, he thought about nodding his head, but before Lu Jiadong's head nodded, Qi Junwen, who was sitting opposite Qin Jingbin, suddenly flashed a light in his mind, and then his face changed twice, and then he made up his mind and said to Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen:

"Just now, Chief Engineer Lu mentioned the special steel plant. And maybe there will be experienced technical experts inside, which reminds me of a person."

Wang Chuanchen, who had just softly persuaded Lu Jiadong, didn't wait for Qi Junwen to finish speaking. He couldn't wait to stand up and ask:

"Who?"

Not only Wang Chuanchen, but even Lu Jiadong couldn't help but raise his head, his gloomy face flashed with light, although he didn't speak, but the attitude of expectation was already beyond words. Although Qi Junwen is said to be the supremacy of technology, but after so many years of ups and downs, he still trained a pair of fiery eyes, because of this, Qi Junwen only glanced at the faces of Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen, and knew what the No. 1 and No. 2 people in the two development teams were thinking at this time, so Qi Junwen straightened out his thoughts and continued:

"His name is Zhu Haifeng. The chief technologist of the Shonan Special Steel Plant, at that time I was sent to the workshop in the northern plant, when the country was carrying out the development of the second-generation tank, so I was temporarily transferred back to the technical department to participate in the development, and the difficulties we encountered at that time were similar to ours today. It is also a material bottleneck that leads to the delay in the development of high-performance armor steel.

At this time, our old factory director remembered the student he had taken with him. So he was seconded from Shonan Special Steel Plant for development, and we didn't like to talk to him very much. People who only like to keep their heads down have doubts, but what they didn't expect is.

This Zhu Haifeng is so silent, and he studies it alone. In a few months, the steel armor of the second-generation tank was successfully developed, although the second-generation tank was dismounted for various reasons, but Zhu Haifeng of Xiangnan Special Steel Plant developed the miraculous performance of armor steel in a short period of time, which still makes me remember it vividly!"

"Zhu Haifeng?" After Lu Jiadong listened to Qi Junwen's story, he couldn't help but repeat this very unfamiliar name, but before Lu Jiadong could continue to have an in-depth understanding of Qi Junwen, the same words blurted out from Qin Jingbin, who was opposite Qi Junwen:

"Zhu Haifeng, Deputy Chief Engineer Qi, does he have another name called 'Steel Idiot'?"

"'Steel idiot'?" When he first heard this word, Qi Junwen was also stunned, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but nodded:

"That's right, it seems that there is such a name Faen? Researcher Qin, do you also know Zhu Haifeng?" Qi Junwen said as he spoke, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head and asked Qin Jingbin on the other side suspiciously, and Qin Jingbin nodded slightly after Qi Junwen confirmed the nickname "Steel Idiot", and when Qi Junwen finished asking, Qin Jingbin responded with a smile:

"I realize that I can't talk about it, but his reputation as a 'steel idiot' is well-known in the material world, especially in the field of steel smelting, whether it is cannon steel, armor steel or ship steel, there is nothing he can't develop, not only that, this Zhu Haifeng always likes to study alone when developing a new type of steel, and he vows not to give up until he reaches his goal, and sometimes even reaches the point of madness.

Because of this, his peers gave him the nickname of 'steel idiot', it can be said that he is the only expert in the field of steel smelting who combines advanced technology and rich experience!

"Originally, I heard that Zhu Haifeng was transferred to the Metallurgical Research Institute in Beijing, and at the beginning of this year, news came out that a distant cousin of his asked him to immigrate to Hong Kong, and it is said that all the applications have been completed for him, why is he still in the South Hunan Special Steel Plant?"

In fact, when Lu Jiadong mentioned both experienced and capable technical experts, Qin Jingbin also thought of this Zhu Haifeng in his mind, but because he heard that he had immigrated to Hong Kong at the beginning of the year, he didn't say it even when he thought of him, and now listening to Qi Junwen's words, this Zhu Haifeng seems to be still in Xiangnan Special Steel Plant, so he asked about it with great confusion, and Qi Junwen couldn't help but show a look of admiration on his face after listening to Qin Jingbin's question, and continued:

"Originally, their family agreed to move to Hong Kong, but at the last moment, Zhu Haifeng still couldn't give up the special steel mill that he had been fighting for most of his life, and finally chose to stay!

"So that's the case, that's really good!" Before Qi Junwen finished speaking, Qin Jingbin couldn't help but pat his thighs, his face was even more irrepressibly excited, and even his voice was an octave higher than before, and then turned his face to Lu Jiadong and Wang Chuanchen and said happily:

"Chief Wang! Chief Master Lu! Since we want to unite, I suggest that we should unite with the Hunan Special Steel Plant, with Zhu Haifeng, a 'steel idiot', we can definitely develop qualified artillery steel, it can be said that if we unite, there is no more suitable than the Hunan Special Steel Plant, and from the perspective of the technical experience of the relevant personnel, there is no more suitable than Zhu Haifeng of their factory to receive the research and development of new artillery steel!"

After listening to Qi Junwen and Qin Jingbin's words, the participants present once again sounded a subtle discussion, some people heard a little about Zhu Haifeng, so they began to introduce anecdotes about him; some people were very unfamiliar with this, questioning whether Zhu Haifeng had such technical strength; while more people chose to be a silent listener, neither expressing their approval nor clear opposition, anyway, the attitude of everyone at the venue was inconsistent, everyone told their opinions, and the voice of discussion gradually increased from the initial subtle voice！

In fact, not only the people present disagreed, even Lu Jiadong, who was the chief designer, was a little drumming in his heart, after all, he didn't know much about this person named Zhu Haifeng, and he didn't know what his ability was at all, but Qi Junwen and Qin Jingbin were both the core developers of the artillery team, not only had solid skills, but they were also the kind of loyal elders who didn't care about fame and fortune, and the people they jointly recommended could not be wrong.

Wang Chuanchen, who was sitting next to Lu Jiadong, obviously saw Lu Jiadong's doubts at this time, so he said to Lu Jiadong: "Xiao Lu, I think we can give it a try, and I just remembered that a few years ago, in order to test long-range launch vehicles, our country needed to build a number of survey ships and escort ships, and a large part of the special steel on these ships was produced by this Xiangnan Special Steel Plant, and the quality was also the best, I think this Zhu Haifeng must have played a big role!"

Wang Chuanchen has been in the General Staff Equipment Department for a long time, the research and development and manufacturing of various key weapons and equipment of the whole army and the provision of materials, he naturally knows better than ordinary people in his heart, and he remembers and understands whether his performance is good or bad, because of this, Wang Chuanchen's words made Lu Jiadong finally make up his mind, and at this time, the discussion at the venue gradually decreased, and everyone's eyes were once again focused on Lu Jiadong, and Lu Jiadong swept the participants present with his firm eyes, and said categorically:

"Let's join forces with the Shonan Special Steel Plant, and strive to complete the development of our new artillery as soon as possible and equip the troops!"

Lu Jiadong's words can be said to be the final word, and the joint research and development plan with the Hunan Special Steel Plant was thus determined, in addition, in the following meeting, several other joint research and development factories were also determined, such as the Yunnan Vehicle Factory for artillery auxiliary power, and the Guinan Precision Machinery Factory for ammunition production.

In this way, after the meeting determined the future work tasks, it also made clear the manufacturers and scientific research institutes to be contacted by the main responsible persons, and the contact task of the Xiangnan Special Steel Plant, the main body of artillery steel research and development, which is the most important thing in this regard, was naturally provoked by Lu Jiadong himself; in addition, the meeting also decided to submit the draft plan to the Armament Department of the General Staff Department and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense to request the cooperation of the higher-level departments.

Under Wang Chuanchen's active activities and contact, the submitted documents were quickly approved, and the Equipment Department of the General Staff and the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense fully supported Lu Jiadong's ideas and opinions, and issued instructions and notices to the relevant factories and units, requiring the relevant units to fully cooperate with the work of the new artillery research and development team.
