Chen Zong could understand everyone's thoughts, in fact, if he wasn't the director of this superconducting materials research center, he wouldn't care about a businessman like Qin Hai. However, he understood that Qin Hai's joy and anger would directly affect the Daqin Group's funding for the research center, and these appropriations were the key to whether the seventy or eighty of them could continue to engage in scientific research and produce results. Not to mention that Qin Hai has always respected him very much, and he has never put on a big boss's shelf, even if Qin Hai wants to play a big name, he can only accept it politely, who really has the qualifications to put on a score?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am convening this meeting today to discuss a major event that is closely related to the future development of our research center, and I hope you will take it seriously." Chen Zong said.

Hearing this, many people's expressions became stern, and even Zhang Shengying, who was reading the information, looked up, but she immediately lowered her head again and continued to read the document in her hand. In her mind, what is closely related to the big things has nothing to do with her, she has already had two papers accepted by top foreign journals, which means that her academic status at Jingcheng University will be greatly improved, what else will affect her?

"As you know, in the past six months, our research center has achieved fruitful results in the research of yttrium-barium-copper-oxygen superconductors, and has also mastered the preparation technology of several materials. Just now, Mr. Qin and I discussed it and decided to complete the research on the industrial preparation process of these materials as much as possible, so that they can meet the requirements of commercial application. Specifically, it is to realize the industrial preparation of yttrium-barium copper oxygen powder, blocks, films, thick films, wires and strips, what are your considerations for this? Chen Zong continued.

"Industrial preparation?" Professor Du Xiangwang frowned and said, "Old Chen, this is not difficult, right?" The materials you mentioned have been industrially prepared in foreign countries. We just need to try it according to other people's ideas. ”

Another professor, Cao Guolin, also said: "Lao Du is right, like the preparation of yttrium-barium copper oxygen powder, I have seen the introduction of solution precipitation method, sol-gel method, plasma spraying method, freeze-drying method, jet drying method, the preparation of shapes including isometric bodies and spheres, I have asked students to do research reviews in this regard." ”

"Mr. Cao, have you compared the efficiency of each of these methods? There are also issues such as the cost of preparation. Our goal is to achieve mass production of materials, such as powder materials, and we need to reach a scale of at least 100 tons per year. Qin Hai sat beside Chen Zongze and said to Cao Guolin in a deep voice.

Cao Guolin had met Qin Hai before, and had briefly discussed several academic issues in the direction of superconductivity with Qin Hai, and he had some good feelings for this scholar-type chairman. Hearing Qin Hai's question, he shook his head with a smile and said, "We haven't done research to reach mass production scale. We prepare it in the room, which is only a few kilograms. That's enough for us to use. ”

"So, if I want to entrust Mr. Cao's team to solve the problem of mass production of powder materials, how long do you estimate it will take?" Qin Hai continued to ask.

Cao Guolin was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "This ...... I'm afraid I don't have time, the teachers and students in our team are very busy, I'm afraid I can't help it. ”

"Lao Cao, take some time to engage in this research, this is also the task of our research center." Chen Zong spoke out and persuaded. Cao Guolin's answer. It didn't exceed Chen Zongze's expectations at all, he already knew it. People will not be interested in doing applied research.

Cao Guolin was not moved by Chen Zongze's warm cannonball, he said resolutely: "Teacher Chen, you know the subject we are doing. Now is a very critical time, the people in my team are so busy that they don't even have time to sleep, how can they have spare time to engage in industrial preparation. ”

Qin Hai heard this. With some angry laughter, he asked lightly: "Mr. Cao, when do you expect your team to be busy?" ”

"It's hard to say." Cao Guolin didn't notice any mystery in Chen Zongze's words with Qin Hai, or rather, he didn't care about the mystery at all. The heavens can dominate him. There are only papers, everything else is floating clouds.

"Our group now has three great ideas, each of which can produce a high-level article. To complete these articles, we need to do hundreds of practical years, and I am afraid that we may not be able to complete them by the first half of next year. This still does not take into account the situation of any unexpected discoveries in the process of realization, if there can be some unexpected joy, then let alone next year, even the time of the year after tomorrow, we are not enough. Cao Guolin said to Qin Hai confidently.

Qin Hai said: "However, Mr. Cao, applied research is also the task of our research center, and I have already told you this when the center was established. I fully support everyone who is engaged in theoretical research. But applied research should not be wasted, can you please Mr. Cao divide your team into two, some people continue to do your three ideas, and the other part of people will complete the problem of industrial preparation of powder materials before March next year. ”

"It can't be." Cao Guolin categorically refused. Just kidding, these are three heavyweight articles, if they can be published, he Cao Guolin can suddenly become the number one expert in the domestic superconductivity field, and he will also have considerable influence in the world. If you don't write such an article, what kind of indiscriminate industrial preparation is undergone, isn't this a table of brain water?

"If that's the case, then I'll have to go to the Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Metallurgy to find someone to do it." Qin Hai said.

"Yes, yes, a few of them are doing well." Cao Guolin echoed with a smile.

Qin Hai stretched out his hand and said, "In that case, then Teacher Cao, please hand over the key to the real yàn room." ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Guolin's smile suddenly froze on his face. Not only him, but Zhang Shengying, Du Xiangwang and others were also stunned, looking at Qin Hai with round eyes one by one, not understanding what he wanted to do.

Qin Hai smiled slightly: "I want to invite experts from the Academy of Sciences to do research, of course, there must be a real room, you can't let people engage in process development empty-handed, right?" ”

"Then what about the real yàn of our group?" Cao Guolin asked stupidly.

Qin Haidao: "Doesn't Mr. Cao also have a real room in the physics department?" You can go back there and continue your research. ”

Cao Guolin said with displeasure on his face: "What are you kidding, what kind of joke is Mr. Qin, how can the equipment in the honest yàn room of our physics department be compared with the research center?" We can't do these studies without the equipment of the research center, so you don't have to make it difficult. ”

Qin Hai said calmly: "Since Professor Cao knows that the equipment of the research center is the basis for supporting us to continue our research, why don't you take some time to make a little contribution to the research center?" Yttrium-barium copper oxygen powder is more valuable than gold, if you can solve the problem of industrial preparation one day earlier, you will be able to get economic benefits one day earlier, so that you can also have more money to help everyone do real, this truth, Mr. Cao should be able to understand, right? ”

"Gold? Mr. Qin, you only know that gold is valuable, do you know what the value of one of our high-level articles is? Zhang Shengying understood Qin Hai's words, she looked at Qin Hai coldly and asked.

Qin Hai looked at her gaze and said contemptuously, "Article? I don't see any value. ”

"Hehe, since that's the case, then we don't have much to say. Mr. Chen, you can explain to Mr. Qin what is the impact factor, and then explain how many impact factors have been reached in the dozen or so articles recently published by our center. Zhang Shengying said to Chen Zongze in a proud tone.

Chen Zongze's mouth opened, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Qin Hai. Qin Hai glanced at everyone in the audience, and then said:

"Teacher Zhang wants to explain to me what an impact factor is, I don't think it's necessary, I, Qin Hai, am not so ignorant that I don't understand this. However, I would like to tell you that we are a poor country, and I think everyone knows what it means to be poor. As Mr. Cao just said, the real room of Jingcheng University is much worse than the research center. It can be said that without this research center, what impact factors and high-level articles that everyone talks about are all buildings in the air, and it is impossible to exist at all.

But where did the research center come from? Everyone is here every day, don't you know that these real equipment and raw materials are all piled up with money? You only care about high-level articles, but can these high-level articles get you funding?

Everyone is engaged in superconducting materials, and you should know that in terms of superconductivity research, China is in the first echelon of the world, which is a matter of pride. However, how much wealth has your research created for the country? Have you calculated? The results of scientific research in other countries can be quickly transformed into wealth, which in turn can support further research. And what about us, apart from these pretty-looking impact factors, what does these studies contribute to the country? ”

"Science knows no borders, and although our research results have not been applied domestically, they can be applied internationally, which is enough." Zhang Shengying retorted.

"Science knows no borders?" Qin Hai smiled, "Mr. Zhang, you take the salary paid to you by the Chinese treasury and use the research funds provided by me, a Chinese businessman, just to make some borderless science?" Since it is borderless, then you should go to the US government for funding for your research, our funds have borders, and we are not interested in using them to fund any borderless research. ”

Hearing Qin Hai say this, Zhang Shengying's face suddenly turned red. Since becoming an expert, no one dared to speak to her like this, and she asked angrily: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this, do you think you are great if you have a few dollars?" (To be continued......)
