"Mr. Li is right just now, with our existing technical foundation, it is very difficult to break through the technical difficulties of low-temperature steel within two years." Qin Hai began with such words, "Therefore, we must adopt some unconventional means, and several lines go hand in hand to solve this problem." ”

"Mr. Qin, I didn't understand what you meant." Fan Zhiyuan said politely.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "What I just said is a big idea. Let me elaborate below. First of all, we must establish the confidence to break through the difficulties of low-temperature steel, and mobilize all the forces we can mobilize, including inviting technical personnel from other research units and enterprises to participate in joint research. To this end, we have set up a low-temperature steel research coordination group, and the first step is to establish a low-temperature steel room. ”

"Low-temperature steel room?" Li Mingliang was stunned for a while, but at this time he had come back to his senses, he glared at Qin Hai and said, "Mr. Qin, do you know how much a decent low-temperature steel room costs?" ”

"20 million, is it enough?" Qin Hai didn't even stumble, and directly quoted a price.

Low-temperature materials are a very important part of the entire materials field, and Qin Hai has always had the idea of establishing a low-temperature materials research team, but he has not had the opportunity to put it into practice. This time, he asked Huaqing University and the Chemical Engineering Design Institute to develop a large-scale ethylene plant, and he also had the idea of taking this opportunity to build a research framework for low-temperature materials.

Before coming to the Chemical Design Institute, Qin Hai had calculated that under the existing conditions in China, the construction of a slightly large-scale low-temperature material real room would cost about 20 million yuan, which of course did not include the site cost of the real room. The site of the chemical design institute is very large, and it is not costly to draw a piece of it casually.

"20 million ......" Li Mingliang is engaged in low-temperature materials after all. We have an understanding of the various practical conditions and the corresponding equipment. He quickly calculated it in his heart, then nodded and said, "Mr. Qin's estimate is good, 20 million can indeed build a decent real room." ”

Now, Li Mingliang no longer has any contempt for Qin Hai. Qin Hai's professionalism and courage in spending money are enough to make Li Mingliang admire. He thought to himself. If this Mr. Qin's words can be fulfilled and a low-temperature material real room with an investment of 20 million yuan can really be built, it would be a beautiful thing. Many of the real yàns that I have envisioned will have a perfect real yàn platform. He believes that on this platform, he will be able to make many remarkable results.

"Mr. Qin, who will invest the 20 million you said?" Fan Zhiyuan is worthy of being a leader, and he thinks about the problem more comprehensively.

Qin Haidao: "These funds. It can be provided by our Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory. I hope that the Chemical Design Institute can provide a large enough site to arrange this real room. In addition, after the completion of the real yàn room, the ownership will be jointly owned by both of us, and I hope that we can have 80% of the power. ”

"Shouldn't we have a share of it?" Ji Zhenrong interjected anxiously, such a good thing, he was not happy to be excluded.

"Director Ji, you don't engage in low-temperature materials, what do you want this real room for?" Fan Zhiyuan retorted angrily.

"We don't work on low-temperature materials...... But we also have low temperatures. Ji Zhenrong knew that he was at a loss. The Department of Chemical Engineering of Huaqing University is different from the Chemical Engineering Design Institute. They are purely engaged in chemical industry and do not involve metal materials. The Chemical Design Institute not only studies chemical industry, but also studies chemical equipment, so it has a special direction for low-temperature materials.

"Professor Ji, if we have any low-temperature real food here in Huaqing, we can take it here and do it. Everyone is a partner, and there's nothing wrong with that. Qin Hai comforted Ji Zhenrong.

"That's pretty much it." Ji Zhenrong muttered. No more breathlessness.

Fan Zhiyuan smiled and said to Qin Hai: "Mr. Qin, I completely agree with the plan you said. Tonight, I will write a report to the hospital and ask the leaders of the hospital to approve the matter. ”

"Hmm. The sooner this happens, the better. Qin Hai said, "What I said just now is the first point, which is based on our own direction. Then I will talk about the second point, there are many mature experiences in the research of low-temperature materials, and we can boldly introduce them. Please discuss with Mr. Li and other experts in the field of cryogenic materials to see what kind of technologies we need to introduce, including purchasing some necessary patents. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid it's a very considerable expense. Li Mingliang sighed quietly.

There is a big reason for the slow progress of domestic low-temperature materials research, which is that there is not enough funds for the purchase of relevant foreign patents. In order to circumvent these patents, researchers have to look for alternatives, which inevitably cost a lot of time and energy. Qin Hai himself is not engaged in low-temperature materials, but he also knows the trick of this. Being able to trade money for time is something he's happy to do.

"The third point is that we have not accumulated enough in the research of low-temperature materials, especially the relevant talents, which are very lacking. Therefore, I propose that we boldly bring in some professionals from abroad and use the Foreign Legion to help us overcome difficulties. Qin Hai finally threw out a sensational proposal.

"Foreign Legion?" Everyone was stunned by Qin Hai's words, in this era, many Chinese experts went abroad, and it was almost rare for foreign experts to come to work in China.

Think about it, the monthly salary of a domestic researcher is only one or two hundred yuan, while a foreign expert can easily pay a few thousand dollars, who can afford to hire such an expert? Besides, even if you Qin Hai is rich and can come up with such a high salary, who will be willing to give up the superior living environment abroad and go to work in poor and backward China?

"Mr. Qin, what do you think...... Maybe it's a little unrealistic. Ji Zhenrong cautiously commented.

"How unrealistic?" Qin Hai asked with a smile, in fact, he completely knew what Ji Zhenrong meant, if he didn't have the foresight of the traverser, I am afraid he would have the same idea as Ji Zhenrong.

Ji Zhenrong said: "Our domestic living conditions are incomparable with those abroad. We think that the apartment for foreign experts in Huaqing University is already very high-end, but after the foreign experts come, they still feel that it is too simple, and no one wants to stay and work for a long time. Huaqing University wants to invite a few foreign teachers, and it is almost a lot of effort, and the only scholars invited are very ordinary foreign scholars. Now we want to engage in low-temperature materials research, and we must invite academic authorities. It's okay for these people to come over and mentor them, but it's almost impossible to work with our people for a long time. ”

"Mr. Ji, you're talking about experts from Europe, the United States or Japan, right?" Qin Hai asked.

"yes, aren't you planning to hire people from these countries?" Ji Zhenrong asked in surprise.

Qin Hai shook his head and said: "Experts from Europe, America or Japan, we definitely can't afford to invite them now, even if we are willing to give money, people will not be willing to come." However, if you are an expert outside of Europe, the United States, or Japan, I don't think your value will be so high. ”

"Are you talking about Indian, or Brazilian?" Fan Zhiyuan guessed.

Li Mingliang thought for a while and said, "There are two or three scholars in India who have made achievements in low-temperature materials. However, there is no way for the Indian side to let them leave, and they will not want to come and work with us. ”

Qin Hai said with a smile: "Everyone only thought of India and Brazil, why didn't they think of the Soviet Union?" ”

"The Soviet Union?" Fan Zhiyuan was stunned, could it be that Qin Hai wanted to fight the Soviet Union?

In the field of heavy industry, the scientific and technological achievements of the USSR were undoubtedly extremely high. But when everyone talks about technical issues, they always unconsciously forget such a behemoth. The reasons for this are, on the one hand, that relations between the Soviet Union and China have been in a state of tension for a long time, and the technical exchanges between the two countries are poor; On the other hand, the Soviet Union was accustomed to building its own system in all fields, which was not compatible with the Western system. Since the beginning of reform and opening up, China's scientific and technological circles have absorbed more scientific and technological achievements from the West and have had fewer contacts with the Soviet Union, so they have always excluded the Soviet Union from the scope of thinking about problems.

Hearing Qin Hai mention the Soviet Union, Fan Zhiyuan began to ponder carefully. It dawned on him that the Soviet Union was indeed a very good option. First of all, the level of the Soviet Union's chemical industry was also able to reach the world-class level, and the corresponding accumulation of various technologies was very strong. Secondly, the economic level of the Soviet Union was slightly inferior to that of Western countries, and the cost of hiring Soviet experts would certainly be much lower than the cost of hiring Western experts.

However, in the past two or three decades, there have been so few exchanges between China and the Soviet Union that Fan Zhiyuan could not even imagine what kind of system the Soviet Union was now. If you want to hire specialists from the Soviet Union to work in China, what kind of procedures you need to have, or which departments you need to go through, these are things that everyone is not familiar with.

"That's right, the Soviet Union." Qin Hai said to everyone with certainty, "According to what I have learned, the economy of the Soviet Union has been in a state of recession for the past five years. After coming to power, Goeth implemented a series of reforms, most of which were unsuccessful, so the current economic situation in the Soviet Union is very serious, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as on the verge of collapse.

I thought that we might organize a delegation to the Soviet Union to recruit technicians and hire them to work in China, and I assure you that they would be more than willing to accept our invitation. Director Fan, our chemical design institute should also have some old experts with a background in the Soviet Union, right? Please consult with them to see if they have any old classmates, old friends, etc., in the Soviet Union, and sort out all these relations. ”

"However, Mr. Qin, the introduction of talents from the Soviet Union is a foreign-related matter, and our chemical design institute may not have this power, and we need the consent of relevant state departments." Fan Zhiyuan reminded.

Qin Haidao: "Director Fan doesn't have to worry about this matter, I will go and complete the relevant procedures." You just have to think about what you want to do in the USSR. (To be continued......)
