On the way back to the school from the smelter, Zhang Yi has been thinking about it, and now the tungsten and molybdenum separation technology researched by Professor Zhong's team is almost complete, and the data is infinitely close to the index requirements, which means that the project can be defended soon.

For Zhang Yi, what he values more is that this technology can be industrialized immediately.

And he needs to put this technology into the smelter, without high-quality tungsten metal, the production of tungsten steel is impossible, the production of special steel has become the long-term development goal of the smelter.

Shiseiin, Zhong Qiang's office.

When Zhang Yi arrived, Zhong Qiang was sorting out the materials of the tungsten and molybdenum separation project, and after seeing Zhang Yi, he also greeted him with a smile, and he was in a very good mood.

After sitting down on the sofa, Zhang Yi smiled and asked, "Professor Zhong, I see that you are in a good mood, is there anything good?"

"There is a good thing. Zhong Qiang looked at Zhang Yi with a smile and said: "Zhang Yi, now the project is about to come to the end stage, this project, I plan to apply for the award, a few days ago the National Department of Science and Technology issued a notice on the selection of the National Science and Technology Progress Award, we Jiangnan Province to deliver 35 technical quotas, I have considered it comprehensively, the first prize is not easy for us to take, because this technology has not been put into production, has not yet produced social value, but the second prize I think we are still possible to select." ”

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Since there is a policy, then we will declare it, and we will not win the award, and the Department of Science and Technology should have its own evaluation system." ”

When it comes to project awards, almost everyone who engages in scientific research is the ultimate pursuit, and almost all honors and achievements are reflected by what awards they receive.

Just like the selection of academicians of the Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Sciences, one of the most important indicators is what major awards have been won, of course, these awards and academicians are from technological breakthroughs, if you want to get these honors, you must work technical research.

Like Professor Lu Guangji, a leader in the mining industry and an academician of the Academy of Engineering, he once broke through the flotation technology, and later this technology was applied to more than a dozen enterprises, which earned more than 3 billion yuan in a year, and this technology also brought him many awards and honors.

And Professor Yuan Longping is even more incredible, he has solved the problem of eating more than one billion people in China, and to put it bluntly, his hybrid rice technology has promoted the development of China's entire society.

For Zhang Yi, this award is not of great use, but it is different for Zhong Qiang, he can rely on these awards to successfully win the academic status of Changjiang Scholar and Chutian Scholar.

"I will sort out the materials now and hand them over to the Jiangnan Provincial Department of Science and Technology when the time comes. After Zhong Qiang finished speaking, he sighed and said: "It's a pity, if our technology can be put into production, can bring huge income to the enterprise, we can evaluate the award will be higher, now the time is too rushed, we have to wait until the enterprise bidding, the project test, and then buy equipment for production, then I don't know when." ”

"This won't be long. Zhang Yi said, "I plan to cooperate with Tsingshan Smelter to produce tungsten steel." ”

Tungsten and molybdenum separation technology was originally intended to be applied to tungsten beneficiation, but the concentrator has always been the responsibility of the mining industry.

However, now the concentrator does not have this technology, Zhang Yi can only buy the untreated tungsten concentrate, open a new tungsten concentrate processing workshop in the smelter, and then put it into the steelmaking workshop after purification.

"Oh, is the Tsingshan Smelter going to introduce our technology?" Zhong Qiang wondered.

Zhang Yi briefly told Zhong Qiang about the production of tungsten steel at the Qingshan Smelter, but omitted the fact that he was the big boss of the smelter, and only mentioned technical cooperation.

"Well, so that our technology can be applied directly to production. Zhong Qiang said happily.

Although Zhang Yi is the person in charge of this project, he is also the owner of the technology, and the researchers have made great efforts to form each mature technology.

Just as Zhang Yi and Zhong Qiang were chatting about the technical prospects in the office, after three knocks on the door, the hidden door was pushed open from the outside.

Zhong Qiang looked at the door, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Oh, what kind of wind blew you, Director Wu, here." ”

"Professor Zhong, I'm here to look for you. After Wu Hengxing came in, he closed the door with his hand, and when he saw that Zhang Yi was also present, he immediately said: "Zhang Yi, it's great that you are here, so I don't have to go to you again." ”

"Oh, Director Wu has something to do with me?" Zhang Yi said.

Wu Hengxing sat down on the chair and said with a somewhat serious expression: "This matter really has to be yours, do you remember the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet you told you last time?"

It turned out to be like this, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Remember." ”

"After I went back, our institute held a meeting to discuss, your request is to get the ownership of the technology, I can promise you, but we need you to make alloy samples first. Wu Hengxing said righteously.

"This is easy to solve, as long as there is equipment and raw materials, I can complete it in a short time. Zhang Yi nodded and said.

Wu Hengxing hesitated: "This ...... As for the equipment, you can't use the equipment of the institute, and we have to think of other ways. ”

The Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is a research unit with very good conditions in China, and there are a lot of scientific research funds allocated by the state, and there are many high-precision equipment in the institute, which can be said to be the top scientific research level in China.

However, due to various intricate relationships within the institute, the equipment cannot be used now, and it will be discounted if you find a way to find a way in other scientific research units, and there may not be such a complete equipment available.

I was embarrassed to ask why I couldn't use the equipment of the institute, Zhong Qiang interjected on the side and said: "In terms of making alloys, I don't know if the State Key Laboratory of the School of Materials has complete equipment." ”

"Well, I've thought about this before, but I haven't been in contact with the School of Materials yet, so I need to take some time to go over and have a look. Wu Hengxing nodded.

"The School of Materials has these devices. At this time, Zhang Yi said that if he wants to make tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, he does not necessarily need to research all kinds of high-precision and advanced equipment, but only needs to make normal alloy equipment.

"Oh, it would be nice if they had these devices, but if you want to use them, do you have to coordinate them?" Wu Hengxing asked.

Zhang Yi said: "This really needs to be coordinated, and it would be best if Director Wu came forward." ”

He originally wanted to go to the School of Materials to do tungsten steel technology experiments, and he also planned to ask Professor Li to come forward to help him coordinate the use of the laboratory, but now it seems that Wu Hengxing wants to make tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets, which is just right, and he wants to sell this favor.

"Okay, I'll coordinate this, as long as it can be made, you give me time, how long will it take to make a sample?" Wu Hengxing said with a serious expression.

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said, "I can make a sample in a month, within a month." ”

This is still his more conservative time, in fact, if it goes well, it only takes half a month to get it out, but he is worried about any accidents, so he gives it a longer time.

"One month?" Wu Hengxing said in surprise, in his opinion, if Zhang Yi can do it within half a year, the efficiency will be very high, you must know that so many senior engineers in the research institute are researching at the same time, and there has been no breakthrough in the past 2 months.

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, a month." ”

"Well, you will hand over the qualified tungsten alloy samples to me in a month. "The shorter the time, the happier Wu Hengxing is, the sooner he gets it, he will be able to make a difference, even if Zhang Yi doesn't do it a month later, he still has a lot of time to deal with it, so that it won't be too late to think of a way until the last moment.
