Chapter 453: Material Carnival
It is not the first time that Qin Hai has cooperated with ministries and commissions to do things. However, this cooperation with the State Planning Commission still opened Qin Hai's eyes. The Planning Commission's ability to allocate resources is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and as soon as the notice is issued, the relevant units throughout the country become agitated.
To hold a material science and technology exhibition, the chief expert naturally can't take Qin Hai's turn, and even Chen Heqian can only stand aside. Wang Hongsheng invited Shi Lao, Li Lao and others from the Academy of Sciences, as well as seven or eight other middle-aged experts in various fields, most of whom also had a title such as academician. Chen Heqian and Li Linguang have not yet reached the peak of their academic careers at this time, and they only have low eyebrows and pleasing eyes in front of these big people.
Qin Hai had dealt with these cattle people in his previous life, and he had good personal relations with several of them. In this life, although everyone doesn't know him, his humility, intelligence and steadfastness still impress all experts. Shi Lao and Li Lao are all old-timers in the material industry, who are old and virtuous, and have always been willing to support newcomers. Seeing that Qin Hai had some understanding of material science, and it was rare that he did not have the impetuosity of young people, he naturally appreciated him. When Wang Hongsheng asked them how to organize the exhibition, they all said that what Qin Hai was doing was very much in line with their wishes, and they just let this young man do it.
Obtaining such a Shang Fang sword, it would be much easier for Qin Hai to act. The vast majority of those who are in the front line of material scientific research in the country have a mentoring relationship with these cattle people. Qin Hai pulled the tiger skin as a banner and made an offer to them, asking them to take out their most proud products, package them according to Qin Hai's requirements, and prepare to participate in the exhibition, these people naturally did not dare to disobey.
In the entire circle of materials science, except for a few young scholars in the military industry or some other important departments, most of the remaining scholars have been recruited by Qin Hai to Anhe Materials College. So. In this material exhibition, Qin Hai left enough space for the School of Materials. After more than a year of construction, Anhe Institute of Materials has produced a lot of dazzling results under the promotion of a lot of funds, and it is time to accept the review.
Regarding the format of the exhibition, Qin Hai used a lot of brains. He has designed many exhibition projects. In addition to the materials involved, various post-processing is required, and some even require professionals in advertising and art to provide creative ideas. After such a round of tossing, two or three months have passed.
In Qin Hai's view, it would be too inefficient to spend a few months preparing for an exhibition. But in Wang Hongsheng's eyes, this is already a very fast pace. In the past, the Planning Commission system organized some large-scale exhibitions, and it took more than half a year to prepare for them, because this is the only way to do so. In order to achieve perfection and fully demonstrate the strength of an authoritative department.
In the spring of 1992, the first National New Material Science and Technology Exhibition was grandly opened at the Beijing Exhibition Center.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in front of the Beijing Exhibition Hall in Beijing, China, to introduce to you the grand occasion of China's first National New Material Science and Technology Exhibition. It is different from previous exhibitions in China. One of the outstanding impressions of this edition of the show is that it does not look like a technology show at all. It's more like a carnival, and yes, it's a dazzling carnival! ”
Joris, a reporter from Fox TV in the United States, held a microphone and stood in the large empty field in front of the exhibition hall and reported on the scene in an extremely exaggerated tone. After several years of ice closure, China's relations with the West have begun to thaw. Take the opportunity of this material science and technology exhibition. In the name of several ministries and commissions, the Chinese government has sent invitations to key enterprises and media in Western countries, inviting them to send people to visit the country. In fact, both the inviting party and the inviting party understood that this was just a step that could be accepted by both parties, and there was such a visit. Subsequent contact becomes natural.
From this point of view, the significance of this exhibition is not limited to material technology or economic activities, but also has deep political considerations behind it. Of course, this issue was considered by Wang Hongsheng, and Qin Hai and the others did not know.
Joris also came from China with an invitation, and before leaving, he made up his mind to make only a glimpse of the so-called material science and technology exhibition, and his focus would be on the current situation in China after several years of stalemate with the West. It is not unreasonable for him to think this way, because the editors and directors of the entire fox TV station believe that a material science and technology exhibition must be boring, and it is impossible for the report of this kind of exhibition to earn ratings for the TV station.
However, when Joris came to the exhibition site, he was immediately attracted by the format of the exhibition, and looking at the various original designs, he subconsciously came up with such a word: carnival.
That's right, this is exactly what Qin Hai hopes to achieve, a carnival that fully demonstrates the charm of material technology.
The square outside the exhibition hall was completely paved with a layer of sparkling stained glass overnight, which is different from the glass that people usually see, this kind of glass looks very soft and bright. Under the sun's rays, the whole square exudes a dreamlike glow that will enchant those who are in it. The most novel thing is that although these glass laid on the ground are trampled by countless people coming and going, as long as the cleaner wipes it with a wet cloth, it shows a perfect luster.
In the center of the square, there is a group of animal sculptures made of the same glass, next to a sign of the same material. On the sign, a detailed introduction is written, telling the audience that this glass is called glass-ceramic, which has the advantages of both glass and ceramic, with high hardness, corrosion resistance, and beautiful appearance, suitable for all kinds of architectural decoration.
There is no doubt that many housewives have been conquered by this insanely beautiful glass before they even enter the museum. They took their husbands by the hand and whispered that they must use such materials to decorate the kitchen and bathroom in their newly assigned housing, because only such materials can be worthy of their new home.
Walking through the square, in front of it is a place that says "Ticket Exchange Office". Visitors are given paper invitations, which they will exchange for official tickets. Joris and his colleagues arrived, pulled out invitations, and after the staff inspected them, they each handed them a thin card.
"This is your visit ticket, and you may use this card to get through all the places where you need to swipe your visit ticket." The beautiful female college student in charge of the reception introduced them in fluent English.
Joris is a sensational person who will not miss any opportunity to flirt with girls. He saw that the card in his hand was as thin as a cicada feather, so he pretended to be innocent and asked, "Beautiful young lady, what I want to say is, can this card be folded?" ”
"Yes." The girl smiled and replied, "If you have the ability to fold it up." ”
"Really?" Joris was stunned for a moment, then tried to fold the card in his hand. Contrary to the girl's prophecy, he folded the card in two very easily, but just as he was about to show it off, he found that the card unfolded naturally again, returning to its original appearance, and there was no crease to be seen on it.
"Oh, that's amazing!" Joris exclaimed, and then continued to do the real yàn. Seeing this, the camera reporter next to him also put down the camera and began to try to fold the card in his hand. But no matter what they did, they couldn't keep the card in its folded shape or leave any creases on it.
"You don't have to work hard, this is our newly developed high-toughness polymer material, don't say you fold it by hand, even if you press it with a roller, it will remain flat." The girl said with a smile.
"It's a really good thing, if you use it to print photos, or to make business cards, or to make playing cards...... By the way, it can also be used to print elementary school textbooks, and my mother no longer has to worry about me crumpling the corners of the books......" Joris said exaggeratedly.
The girl pursed her lips, held back a smile, gestured with her hand, and said, "Two gentlemen, you can go in." By the way, the door of the Progress Pavilion is sucked with magnets, and if you can knock it open without the help of a visit ticket, then you will receive the 'Hercules' trophy from the exhibition organizing committee. ”
"What do you mean?" Joris was confused, how could there be any reason for the exhibition organizers to encourage visitors to bang on the door?
Joris's confusion was solved after a minute. At the entrance, they saw a dozen shoulder-high fence gates, all of which were closed. Outside every door, there are challengers trying to brute-force it. The men pushed the door with all their strength, then took two steps back and slammed it with their shoulders. I don't know who is so considerate, and there is a leather cushion on the door, I'm afraid that the person who hit the door will hurt his shoulder.
After a few unsuccessful knocks on the door, people with impulsive personalities began to kick with their feet. It's not that they don't follow the rules, but it's because there is a steel plate less than a meter high on the door, and there is a footprint clearly drawn on it, which is clearly the place for people to put their feet.
"Boom! Boom! Boom !! ”
The crash attracted countless onlookers, and there was no shortage of cheers. However, all the challengers eventually returned home and had to take out their tickets with a red face and swipe the cartoon guò at the access control. Strange to say, the door that so many people couldn't break open with all their might opened lightly with a swipe of the card, making people feel like they were acting just now.
Joris followed the others to the door to take a closer look, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. It turned out that these doors were attracted to the door frame by a magnet, and the magic magnet was only the size of a fingernail. (To be continued......)
