Moreover, Petrovich thought to himself, didn't the company give himself the status of honorary president of the Honorary Engine Design and Research Center, looking at the entire Alice Comprehensive Applied Science and Technology Research Institute, it is only one person who can enjoy this honor.

Although this is a title with far more symbolic meaning than practical meaning, and does not have any real power, it satisfies Petrovich's desire for official position, and naturally he will not envy the status of the dean.

This is a common problem of Lao Maozi, which is caused by the supremacy of the official standard in the Soviet Union for decades. In the Soviet Union, government officials enjoyed privileges that our people could not imagine, and their status at home was unimaginably high. It is precisely because of this that the greatest wish of almost everyone born in the USSR in this life is to become an official, to be a big official! This kind of thought, which has been cultivated since childhood and has almost penetrated into their souls, Zhang Lan has no way to help them.

I was originally a dean, but the dean was in charge of administrative management, and I was in charge of specific research work! When there is no one else, Petrovich says this to himself and to his wife.

Perhaps it was the status of the honorary dean that greatly stimulated Petrovich's enthusiasm for work, so much so that this old man often forgot to eat, and sometimes it was normal to be busy and skip meals all day.

Even Zhang Lan doubted that if this guy didn't have a wife to cook for him, or if there was no canteen in the company, would this guy starve to death? It has happened not once or twice that this guy forgets to eat because he is busy with work, and it is naturally the wish of every boss to have such a conscientious employee, but if this guy who makes the boss so satisfied that he can no longer be satisfied ends up dying of hunger, or because of an irregular diet that causes a whole body of problems, then Zhang Lan thinks that as long as he is a boss with a little brain, he will not forgive himself for making such an unforgivable mistake.

Zhang Lan obviously doesn't think of himself as a brainless guy, on the contrary, in the company, he has long put forward the slogan of "the company is people-oriented". Right now. This "people-oriented" idea should be embodied in Petrovich this guy.

In order to take care of this guy, who seems to be unable to solve the problem of urinating and defecating without adults, the company also specially assigned this guy a life secretary - in fact, a life nanny - who is responsible for taking care of all Petrovich's living habits, the most important of which is to make Petrovich eat on time and in quantity.

Generally speaking, only those big people have the right to enjoy the right to be matched with a living secretary, and they are generally matched female secretaries. This made Petrovich quite satisfied: in this way, how can he be considered a big man in the group?

As for why Alice Group has assigned her husband a wife of Petrovich, the secretary of female life, there is no opinion, the reason is of course very simple. Because this life secretary of Petrovich is Petrovich's wife herself.

Petrovich's wife has no opinion on the company's decision, on the contrary, she is very happy: in this way, she can not only take better care of her husband, but also receive a salary from the company. The most important thing is that being a life secretary for your husband is not as unreassuring as being a life secretary for others.

This makes many old hairy scientists and wives envious, but it is a pity that now Alice's entire group is up and down, and Petrovic's wife has this treatment. Others envy and can't envy it.

Petrovich was very happy after knowing that he had a life secretary, but after knowing that this life secretary turned out to be his wife, he wanted to express his different opinions, but unfortunately, under the "female authority" of his wife, Petrovich's newly exploded hair immediately went back: this guy also inherited a glorious tradition of men with low emotional intelligence in the world - afraid of his wife.

In fact, the most important point is that the reason why Zhang Lan chose Petrovic's wife as Petrovich's life secretary is to consider one point, so as to avoid the leakage of company research secrets to the greatest extent: no woman will reveal the secret of her husband's work, and it will avoid Petrovich's life secretary being secretly bought by other companies. It is possible to become a commercial spy for their company.

In Zhang Lan's opinion. Petrovich's wife has a great advantage: when she hears Petrovich say something about cylinders, valves, valves, pistons, bearings, gears, etc., she will involuntarily get sleepy, and the degree of sleepiness will be accompanied by the degree of these technical terms that Petrovich speaks, if Petrovich speaks for more than three minutes in a row. Then Petrovich's wife will be able to fall asleep, and its hypnotic effect is definitely more effective than the best lullaby in the world.

This. has always been the most proud of Zhang Lan. The company is satisfied. Petrovich's wife satisfied, Petrovich? It's still satisfying - it's not satisfying. Madame is a very traditional Russian woman, eh. Generally speaking, tradition means that Petrovich's wife inherited the glorious tradition of Russian women over forty years old, and was very fat and strong, and was definitely not comparable to Petrovich, who was skinny because he was busy with research all day - what could be better than such a win-win situation?

"Mr. Peter, how is the research going? Is there any good news for me? Zhang Lan greeted Petrovich with a grin.

In front of acquaintances, Petrovich prefers others to call him Peter, and Zhang Lan follows the locals and calls everyone this title.

Now Petrovich has long since lost the feeling that the fluffy phoenix was not as good as a chicken when he was punished by the company and almost drove away, but he is full of energy, well, in the words of Comrade Gong Hanlin, the thin one is called a spirited one.

"Well, there is indeed good news to tell the three of you," Seeing Zhang Zongjun coming over with his two precious children, Petrovich hurriedly grabbed Zhang Lan's hand and pulled him into the elevator, "Come on, show you something good." ”

With a mysterious and smiling face, Zhang Lan couldn't wait to kick twice on that smiling face: I didn't expect this guy to learn to sell Guanzi. Zhang Zongjun looked curious: Good things? What's good? ,

"This is a special alloy that can withstand high temperatures developed by the materials research and development department not long ago," Petrovich picked up something that looked strange in color and could not be described to Zhang Lan.

It looks not small, but when you hold it in your hand, it is not as heavy as expected, not to mention that compared with steel, even compared with the aluminum alloy material used in the company's engine, the weight is lighter. Zhang Lan was very skeptical, such a light thing, even if it was resistant to high temperatures, but what about its strength? What about malleability? And is the high temperature resistance really as good as Petrovich said?

Not only Zhang Lan, but after taking the inexplicable alloy handed over by Zhang Lan, Zhang Zongjun also showed a skeptical look: What is the performance of such a light thing? Is it really as good as Petrovich said?

"It's incredible, it's suspicious, right?" Petrovich was obviously very satisfied with the reaction of Zhang Lan and Zhang Zongjun, father and son, "After our various tests, we found that although this alloy is still not comparable with the alloy steel used in the car in terms of strength, compared with aluminum alloy, its strength has been greatly improved, and compared with aluminum alloy, its weight is lighter, the ductility is better, and the most important point is that it is more resistant to high temperature than steel, and the high temperature resistance limit has reached an amazing 1050 degrees Celsius. It is second only to the limit temperature of 1093 degrees Celsius of the now known super heat-resistant alloy, but the single cost is many times lower than that of the super heat-resistant alloy, which is really a rare good material for making engines. ”

"So what?" Hearing Petrovich say this, Zhang Lan's interest came.

"So we think that if the engine is made of this metal, it will be a major change in the history of the engine, the engine made of this material is lighter than the all-aluminum engine, but the volume is smaller, between the cast iron engine and the all-aluminum engine," Petrovich was still passionate before, but in the blink of an eye, he was deflated, "but the only problem is that the cost of this alloy is too high, and it is estimated that it is difficult to appear in a production car." ”

"Very high? How much higher? Originally, when listening to Petrovich like this, Zhang Zongjun, Zhang Lan and even Xiao Chenxi were excited, and suddenly heard Petrovich talk about the cost, Zhang Lan and Zhang Zongjun's hearts couldn't help but "chuckle" at the same time, and asked in unison: If the cost is too high to have any practical value, then even if the comprehensive properties of this alloy exceed that of titanium alloy, it is useless. If the entire engine were to use this alloy, it would be about five times the cost of an all-aluminum engine," Petrovich was obviously embarrassed by the high cost of the material, and was anxious to explain to himself, "but for an engine with the same displacement and power, this engine is only about three-quarters the weight of an all-aluminum engine." Based on the unique high-temperature resistance of this special alloy, the requirements for heat dissipation performance of engines made of this material are not so strict. It can even be designed in the form of an air-cooled engine based on its unique high-temperature resistance. If you don't think about the cost, it's a really good engine. I think we should at least try a prototype engine. ”

Is it five times the cost of an all-aluminum engine? Zhang Lan felt a headache: higher ones can be given up, lower ones have practical value, but this number is really a headache, who can afford this kind of engine? This kind of engine can only be used in professional racing cars that don't care much about the cost, right?
