Chapter 123 Scientific research also needs competition
On Tuesday, March 1, Zhou Jianhua was picked up by the car of Nandu Pump Factory early in the morning. This time, I went directly to the Provincial Planning Commission building, or the conference room on the third floor.
The members of the "Computer Introduction Project Coordination Group", except for a few leaders of the department and committee, everyone else arrived, and they were boredly looking through their own information or chatting with the people around them, waiting for the arrival of the leaders.
Zhou Jianhua entered the meeting, greeted everyone happily, and sat in the vacant seats next to Chen and Zhang professors of Jiangnan University of Technology.
"Hehe, Professor Chen, how was the scientific research cooperation we talked about last time?" Zhou Jianhua smiled and asked in a low voice:
"Did you talk to your school leaders about this?"
"Haha...... Anyway, no problem at the school! Professor Chen replied with a smile:
"Our school leaders also said that this is a good thing, and the key is to solve the problem of scientific research funding, hehe...... I just don't know what your subject is. ”
"The topics are ready-made, and I'm considering giving you two topics here." Zhou Jianhua replied:
"One is the "electrical control system of the injection molding machine" and the other is the "inverter", how about it? ”
"Wow! Comrade Xiao Zhou, you are very discerning! Professor Chen was surprised and said:
"The application of injection molding machine equipment in China has always been, but it has been very little, the key is the limitation of raw materials so that it has been developing slowly, in recent years, the country has introduced a lot of large-scale complete sets of petrochemical smelting equipment, injection molding machine this production equipment will be rapidly expanded in the domestic application!" The inverter is also a good thing! This equipment has not yet been produced by enterprises in China, but there are already some applications in foreign countries, which can realize the stepless speed change of the motor. And it is small in size, long in life, and low in maintenance. There is also a significant energy-saving effect. ”
"Huh. Professor Chen, these two devices have great application potential, and they are also in line with your research direction. Zhou Jianhua smiled and said:
"Whether it is the automatic control of the injection molding machine or the operation of complex electrical equipment such as "frequency converter", it is necessary to achieve programming control with the help of digital circuits, and only in this way can the overall performance of the equipment be improved to a higher level. These two topics have a certain degree of difficulty, in particular, the current domestic research and development of these equipment, there are some supporting digital circuit devices. Therefore, to do these two topics, I am afraid that we have to start with the design and manufacture of basic digital circuit devices, which will be a non-complicated scientific research topic, but I don't know if you have this confidence, hehe......"
"Indeed, these two research topics are not small topics...... Professor Chen said after thinking excitedly.
"If you want to produce research results, I'm afraid it won't be something that can be achieved in half a year or a year......
Compared with the "inverter", it is relatively easy for the injection molding machine control system to produce results, and. With the improvement of the world's scientific research level, the development of new components, and the improvement of industrial application requirements, whether it is "inverter" or injection molding machine control system. There will always be a need for continuous improvement and improvement, and their research and development is not achieved overnight and once and for all. Zhou Jianhua nodded and said:
Therefore, my suggestion is that if you are willing to take over these two topics, you can take the way of "small steps and fast running", first study a set of relatively advanced systems in China, and then gradually improve and improve on this basis, and constantly introduce newer and better systems; In addition, when dealing with the two issues of injection molding machine control system and "frequency converter", there should be a priority and priority. First of all, we will go all out to focus on the research of "injection molding machine control system", and at the same time do some preliminary research and technical reserves of "inverter" to prepare for a protracted war. ”
"I'm very interested in both of these topics!" Professor Chan excitedly said:
"It's just really hard...... It's not so easy to produce results, but I don't know if you can wait in time......"
"Scientific research has its own inherent laws, and we can't do what we want." Zhou Jianhua nodded silently and said:
"Of course, we want to produce results as quickly as possible, but there are also high and low results, which is why I suggest that you adopt the method of "small steps and fast running", first produce some small results in the shortest possible time, and then gradually improve, so that we can start to apply your research and development results as soon as possible, and then with your step-by-step improvement, we can also continue to improve in industrial applications, so that both of us can benefit as soon as possible, and we can continue to cooperate in the future. So, as I said a long time ago, our cooperation will be long-term. ”
"That's good! It's rare that you can have such mature consideration at such a young age! Professor Chen nodded with satisfaction and replied:
"As a provider of scientific research funding, it's really commendable that you can have this kind of mentality! Since you have said so, I am confident that I can cooperate with you on these two topics, and I am sure that we will continue to produce phased scientific research results in the future! ”
"Huh...... Professor Chen, I will leave these two topics to you, and you can draw up a research plan for me as soon as possible. Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile:
The basis of this research plan is that the research and development of "injection molding machine control system" must produce a preliminary result within half a year to reach the leading level in China. I will provide you with a research fund of 300 yuan a month for daily research, if you need to add expensive research equipment or if you need to calculate it separately, and at the same time, we have a new injection molding machine for you to use as a laboratory machine, but you have to make an appointment in advance. The research fund of 300 yuan is not much, but if the results can meet the requirements, the prize money is 2000 yuan. ”
"2,000 yuan bonus?! You're not wrong?! "Professor Chen can't believe his ears, such a high reward is unheard of!
"That's right!" Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile:
"However, maybe in a month or two, I will hand over these two topics to other schools for the same cooperative research at the same time, and at that time, if any of you has an early and high level of results, this reward will go to whomever you have. No matter who this bonus goes to in the end, your monthly research funding of 300 yuan will not be less, and no matter who the bonus goes to in the end, it will not affect the next step of continued cooperation. ”
"Haha...... Xiao Zhou, are you still competing with us?! Professor Chen couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Isn't it a waste of resources to do the same research project at the same time, and you have to pay the cost of both costs? Don't you believe us? ”
"Hehe, you misunderstood Professor Chen, it's not that I don't believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have taken the initiative to cooperate with you." Zhou Jianhua smiled and explained:
"The key is that we are an enterprise, and we can't compare with your teaching and research units, we have to pay attention to timeliness. For us, time is money. Although it will cost us twice as much to do so, it will help improve the efficiency of scientific research. For us, a month earlier the results, we can turn them into products on the market a month earlier, and this month's income can be worth a year's scientific research funding, which is of course more cost-effective. ”
"Alright! I understand, I'll draw up a research plan for you as soon as I get back! Professor Chen nodded and said.
“OK! That's it! Zhou Jianhua smiled and nodded.
Zhou Jianhua said in his heart, it seems that the effect of competition is still obvious! If I put all the treasure on you, then I won't hang myself on your tree! The people of these teaching and scientific research units of non-military departments have been lazy for many years, and if he wants to really spend a few years on a topic, the daylily will be cold!
After chatting about cooperation, several leaders of departments and committees also arrived, and everyone immediately began to discuss the introduction of mainframe computers.
Ren Zhongfa, director of Nandu Machinery and Pump Factory, first reported to several leaders of the department and committee that he participated in the discussion of the technical personnel involved in the introduction of computers in the pump factory last Friday, and put forward the requirements of increasing the computer host memory and reducing the two external devices of "card reader/punching machine" and "magnetic drum memory" on the basis of the "product solution" of the company.
"Oh? So, adjust it like this, increase and decrease, and you can save more than 100,000 dollars overall? Yu Zhongnian, deputy director of the Provincial Economic Commission, asked.
"That's right! To be exact, it will save $106,700. Ren Zhong replied.
"Comrade Xiao Zhou, are you sure that there will be no problem in reducing the use of those two external devices on the computer in the future?" Yu Zhongnian asked again.
"Hehe, I'm sure not! Those two external devices are just a chicken rib and don't need it at all! Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile, and then introduced the working principle, performance parameters and use characteristics of the "card reader/punching machine" and "magnetic drum memory" to several department leaders.
"Do other people have different opinions on the trade-off between the two external devices?" Yu Zhongnian asked everyone again uneasily, and when he saw that no one expressed his position, he asked by name:
"Professor Chen, Professor Zhang, do you have any different opinions?"
"Hehe, no, we fully agree with Comrade Xiao Zhou's suggestion, those two pieces of equipment are really useless!" Professor Chan replied.
"Hmm...... I also agree with Comrade Xiao Zhou......" Professor Zhang also nodded and said.
Yu Zhongnian exchanged views with Ma Kui, Luo Yongnian, Wang Liguo and other leaders of the provincial departments and committees, and finally said: "Okay! Now that the experts here have reached a consensus, let's adjust the computer procurement catalog. (To be continued......)
