Chapter 508: Unpublished Results
If you don't get drunk, everyone just talks about it. Most of the scholars don't drink enough, and even if they use beer instead, there are a large number of people who cry out for dizziness after just one drink. The biggest drink in the academy was Li Linguang, and at this time, Li Linguang was still helping to develop No. 98 steel on the navy's side. Without such a main force at the wine table, it is difficult to have that hearty feeling.
However, everyone's interest is not in the wine, they are more concerned about such a form of celebration banquet, to be able to get together with Qin Hai and other college leaders to talk about the bright future of the School of Materials, which is the most pleasant thing for scholars. After three rounds of drinking, everyone's feelings were mobilized, and groups of three and five got together in one place and chatted with laughter.
Sun Yuzhi came to Qin Hai's side with a glass of red wine, and said with a little drunkenness: "Mr. Qin, I will toast you, this glass of wine not only represents myself, but also represents my lover and children, they often say, thank you Mr. Qin for recruiting us to the School of Materials, so that our family can have such good living conditions." ”
"Haha, Mr. Sun is so polite, it's my honor that you are willing to come to the School of Materials." Qin Hai smiled and touched Sun Yuzhi's glass, and then drank a full glass of wine refreshingly.
Sun Yuzhi looked at Qin Hai's movements, frowned, looked at his cup in embarrassment, and said, "Mr. Qin, I didn't ask you to toast, I mean...... It would be nice for everyone to have a meaning. ”
Qin Hai was angry and funny: "Teacher Sun, you are the one who toasts, I have drunk the wine now, and you are upset, this is unreasonable, right?" Even if your glass is bigger, you can drink half a cup, otherwise how can you show the sincerity of your toast? ”
"This ...... I really don't know how to drink. Sun Yuzhi was supportive. Looking at Qin Hai's ridiculous smile, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give up my life to accompany the gentleman and drink half a cup!" ”
As he spoke, he craned his neck. Grunt drank half a glass of red wine. The effect of the wine was so fast that almost the moment he put down the glass, his face turned as red as the color of the wine.
"Come on, eat some food first, and relieve hangover." Qin Hai handed Sun Yuzhi a pair of chopsticks, asked him to take a bite of food to eat, and then asked, "How is it, Mr. Sun, I have been in the School of Materials for more than two years." Having a good time, right? ”
"Needless to say!" Sun Yuzhi borrowed the strength of the wine and said in a thick voice: "You don't need to flatter the leader, you don't need to look at the face of the scientific research department, the income is also high, and you still live in a big house, you can do any scientific research if you want to do it, if such a day is not smooth, then it is really a conscience." ”
"That's good. I invited all of you to the School of Materials, and I'm really worried that you won't be happy. Qin Hai said. In fact. He has listened to Wang Xiaochen's report on the living conditions and psychological state of the scholars in the academy many times, and knows that most of the scholars are very satisfied with the academy. However, as the leader of the college, he still has to make a gesture of concern, which is the art of leadership.
"Mr. Qin. There is a situation that I could not say at the General Assembly just now, and I would like to report to you separately. After Sun Yuzhi calmed down a little, he lowered his voice and put his head to Qin Hai's ear. whispered.
Qin Hai looked left and right, and saw that everyone else was chatting, and no one was paying attention to them, so he nodded and said, "What's the situation, you can say it." ”
"The cerium-based permanent magnet material you mentioned last time, we have basically come up with it." Sun Yuzhi said softly.
"Got it? So fast? Qin Hai was a little surprised, but also a little happy, it seems that Sun Yuzhi is really desperate, and he has broken through the technical difficulties of cerium-based permanent magnet materials in such a short time, which is a key information for Qin Hai's next rare earth strategy.
In terms of permanent magnet material research, Qin Hai played a big trick, with the aim of dragging the Japanese permanent magnet material giant Chunshan Company into a mud pit. He first prompted Sun Yuzhi to develop a permanent magnet material for dysprosium terbium ferroalloy, and in the name of technical cooperation, he used the patent of this material to exchange the patent of the NdFeB material with Chunshan Company, which induced Chunshan Company to focus its attention on dysprosium and terbium ferroalloy.
One of the fatal flaws of dysprosium-terbium ferroalloy permanent magnet materials is that the two rare earth elements used in them, dysprosium and terbium, are relatively scarce, and the price is much more expensive than light rare earth materials such as cerium, lanthanum, and neodymium. Taking advantage of the fact that Chunshan Company was concentrating on the development of dysprosium and terbium ferroalloys, Qin Hai raised the prices of two rare earth minerals, dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide produced in China, dozens of times, forcing Chunshan Company to hoard at high prices.
When Chunshan Company was bent on making some achievements in dysprosium terbium ferroalloy permanent magnet materials, Qin Hai secretly arranged for Sun Yuzhi to start researching cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials. Cerium is the most common element in rare earth minerals, and its price is only a few tenths of that of dysprosium and terbium. Once cerium-based rare earth permanent magnet materials are successfully developed, dysprosium-terbium ferromagnet materials will be completely reduced to an obsolete material with extremely poor cost performance, and the large quantities of dysprosium oxide and terbium oxide hoarded by Chunshan Company will also become expensive chicken ribs.
Qin Hai knew the storage of cerium-based permanent magnet materials based on his own memory, and he couldn't say anything about the material formula, sintering process, etc. He told Sun Yuzhi what he knew, and said that cerium-based permanent magnet materials must be developed. Sun Yuzhi, who had a blind admiration for Qin Hai, heard him say so conclusively, and he had no doubts in his heart, and after returning to the School of Materials from the capital, he plunged into the development of this new type of permanent magnet material.
Qin Hai's prompt, coupled with Sun Yuzhi's years of accumulation in permanent magnet materials, makes the research and development of new materials extremely smooth. Sun Yuzhi first verified the storage of cerium-based permanent magnet materials at the real room level, and then carried out the development of the sintering process of the materials. In the days when Qin Hai was fighting wits and courage with steel speculators, Sun Yuzhi's team had completed various development tasks and formed a mature process.
When Qin Hai told Sun Yuzhi to develop cerium-based permanent magnet materials, he specifically told him to keep it strictly confidential and not let Chunshan Company detect any clues. Sun Yuzhi was involved in the negotiations between Qin Hai and Sadao Hirano, and knew Qin Hai's purpose in keeping this matter secret, because he also strictly restricted his assistants from talking about this new type of permanent magnet material on any occasion. The result of his secrecy is that even Fu Wenbin and Wang Xiaochen don't know about this matter, which of course avoids the risk of them inadvertently leaking their mouths.
"We have already developed the material production process last month, and we have done our own small tests to prove that the process is completely feasible. The pilot test has to be done in the enterprise, and I am afraid that it will leak the news, so I will not do it for the time being, but according to our estimates, there should be no big problem. Now we can wait for your order, and we can publish papers and apply for patents. Sun Yuzhi said to Qin Hai with a little excitement.
The discovery of cerium-based permanent magnet materials is an important achievement in the field of permanent magnet materials, and Sun Yuzhi is confident that the relevant papers can be published in the best international journals in the field and cause a sensation. With such results, he will be able to become a top authority in the field of permanent magnet materials, which will be a pinnacle in his scientific research journey.
However, due to Qin Hai's advice, he has not been able to publish such an article so far, and this feeling really makes him feel itchy.
Qin Hai is also a person with a background in scientific research, so of course he understands Sun Yuzhi's thoughts. However, his bureau of Chunshan Company has not yet reached the stage of closing the net, and if the concept of cerium-based permanent magnet materials is revealed at this time, Chunshan Company may immediately abandon dysprosium terbium ferroalloy and get rid of the trap set by Qin Hai. Qin Hai's plan is to let Chunshan Company consume at least 100 million US dollars in this pit, and these funds will naturally fall into Qin Hai's pocket. Compared with the income of 100 million US dollars and an article, Qin Hai can naturally weigh it clearly.
"Old Sun, I'm afraid you will have to endure it for a while." Qin Hai patted Sun Yuzhi on the shoulder and said, "Chunshan Company is now stockpiling dysprosium oxide and terbium-oxide on a large scale, and due to our production capacity limitations, it is difficult for them to complete the scheduled inventory for a while. I hope that your article will be published after they have finished stocking, which will be in the best interest of our group, can you understand? ”
"Mr. Qin, don't worry, I understand the overall situation." Sun Yuzhi faintly felt a little disappointed, but still agreed categorically. He thought that if it weren't for Qin Hai's guidance to him, coupled with the conditions provided by the School of Materials, he would not have been able to achieve such results in cerium-based materials. Since the results belong to the collective, it is only natural that for the sake of the collective, it is only natural not to publish them for the time being.
Qin Hai smiled and comforted: "Old Sun, don't worry, the honor that belongs to you can't be snatched away by others." I don't think other scholars have taken into account the concept of cerium-based permanent magnet materials, and if you postpone the publication of this result for a year, you can still guarantee that it is the first of its kind in the world. In this year's time, you can also improve the relevant theories, and when the time comes, it will be a classic that cannot be surpassed, wouldn't it be better? ”
"Haha, that's true." Sun Yuzhi smiled, what Qin Hai said also has a certain amount of truth, since he can't reveal the information of cerium-based permanent magnet materials yet, then why don't he use this time to make the theory more solid.
"By the way, Lao Sun, there is an international annual meeting of materials in Paris, France next month, and we are going to arrange some scholars to attend, you are also one, you can prepare well." Qin Hai said.
"Mr. Qin, are you going too?" Sun Yuzhi asked.
Qin Hai smiled: "Of course I'm going, but I'm not going to read a paper, I'm going to do business." With so many great products being developed, don't I have to take advantage of this opportunity to sell them all? (To be continued......)
