Chapter 159: R&D Progress
In the past few months, the two rows of 8,000-square-meter workshops and warehouses in the experimental workshop have one more floor than before.
There is not enough space, so you can only add more. This was taken into account long before the construction of the factory, so according to the two-story design, both the foundation and the steel structure, have left an advance amount for the current heightening.
The construction speed and quality of the second construction of the province are remarkable, the steel is processed outside, pulled in to disassemble the roof and directly hoist, and the construction is carried out 24 hours a day on holidays, which almost does not affect the work of several major project teams. After brushing the paint, you can't see any stamping marks.
After turning around the workshop, looking back at the buildings that were taller than one not far away, the charter suddenly came out: "It can last for fifteen years at most, and it seems that I have to make plans to move early." ”
The factories and office buildings of several major companies are neat and tidy, the main roads extend in all directions, the trees on both sides are shady, and they are clean everywhere they go. ”
The charter sighed secretly, pointed to the tall buildings in the distance, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's not that we have to move ourselves, but we have to move when the time comes." There is no plan, demolition, demolition, construction, demolition, as long as it is profitable and there is money to be made, they will not care if you move or not, and the resources will not be wasted. ”
"City government?"
"Well, sooner or later, it's not our family, and besides, it won't let us move in vain, and we will be compensated more or less."
Thinking that everything here was his hard work, Xia Yao asked in a low voice: "If there is really such a day, are you willing to do it?" ”
"What is it? What if you can't bear it? ”
The charter took her hand as she walked towards the laboratory building. While casually saying, "You will know in the future." The SEZs are suitable for entrepreneurship and not for development, so we will start to shift production to the internal provinces from next year, choose a bigger place, and build a bigger industrial park. If the local government supports it, I would even like to build an NB industrial city. ”
To the surprise of the charter, Xia Yao suddenly turned around, stared at him and said worriedly, "Charter." It's good to want to have a career. But if you are abroad all day, you should also learn more about domestic policies. Any idea what the newspapers say? If there is more foreign capital, there will be more capitalism, and if there are more foreign-funded enterprises, there will be more capitalist things, and that is, capitalism will be developed.
It's not easy for you to have today, although I haven't experienced it, and I haven't been able to share the ups and downs with you like the eldest sister and Xiaolian, but I can imagine how much effort you have put into all this. Policies can change, and they may be empty at any time. Don't take any chances, it's not that I can't bear it. It's reluctant for you to be sad. ”
The concern and concern were overflowing, and the charter was moved, holding up her white and delicate hand and kissing it on the lips, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, the policy will only go to the right, not to the left, poverty is not socialism, this is the trend of historical development, and the central leadership will definitely make the right choice." ”
"What do you say about the summer before last?"
She didn't do anything but was affected by the pond fish, she could understand her feelings, patted her hands, and said with a smile: "Wife, this world is not so beautiful, but it is not so bad, everything has to look forward." Believe me, it's going to get better, just like we have now, isn't it good. ”
This title made Xia Yao blushing with shame, and subconsciously pulled out her hands and glanced at him: "Who is your wife?" It's hard to hear. "This glimpse is soul-stunning, this glimpse is like water.
The charter asked with a sneer, "How do you call that?" Honey, or sweetheart? ”
Xia Yao laughed so hard that she trembled, her fists swung out lightly, and she slapped him a few times in front of the chest, and said angrily: "As for the chief engineer, he is not serious at all." ”
"Ouch, which one is this singing, the birds in the trees are in pairs, and the husband and wife are both returning home?" was flirting and scolding, and a light bulb suddenly came out of the laboratory building.
The charter was happy, and he turned around and said: "How can Huangmei Opera be as good as Yue Opera, dear Comrade Huang Li'an, why don't you sing us a Sister Lin who fell from the sky?" ”
"Sister Lin has become Mrs. Huang, an old husband and wife, there is nothing to sing."
Huang Li'an threw the folder into the "little potato" in front of the building, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Good match, perfect match, classmate Zhang, Teacher Xia, when are you two going to send candy?" ”
Seeing Xia Yao covering her mouth and chuckling, she waved her hand, "Soon, when you are done with the battle in front of you, when the big guys have time, hold a group wedding, and help you and Sister Lin, Lao Guo and Sister Shen make up for it together." ”
"And our business?"
"Of course there is, it's only lively when there are more people."
Thinking that the girls of the Guo family were two years old, Huang Li'an suddenly laughed and said: "Charter, I have nothing to do with Huixian, the poor and sour Confucianism and Xinru are just meaningful, and they will marry their sons." ”
"Fengzi is married, I'm afraid that the pot will not move until now," the charter glanced in the direction of the director's office, and sighed with emotion: "Sister Jingwen is almost 30, as well as Sister You of the Audit Department and Sister Yu of the Finance Department, the person is not ugly, is it so difficult to find a partner?" ”
"Your cousin Xiaolian is not the same?" Huang Li'an accompanied the two of them to the experimental building, shook her head and said, "It's not easy to climb high or low, it's troublesome." ”
With so many female colleagues not getting married, Xia Yao was surprised: "High vision? ”
Huang Li'an stopped and explained proudly: "It's not a high vision, but it's difficult to meet the right one, after all, there are too few men as good as me and the charter." ”
was actually in the mood to joke, and the charter was happy: "Lao Huang, is the experiment successful?" ”
"Failed."
"Then you're so happy."
Huang Li'an was full of energy, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Failure is expected, the key is to see hope from failure." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Yesterday's tests were just to see how the insulation properties and adhesion of the material were, and the results were outstanding. Whether you can make an insulator and put it aside, for now, it can be applied to 500 kV sulfur hexafluoride transformer. Charter, Lao Guo really released a satellite this time. If the insulator can also be made. Then we will really gain a foothold in the field of ultra-high pressure. ”
The 500 kV SF6 transformer can only be produced by a handful of foreign companies. There is a blank slate in the country, and it is completely dependent on imports.
The 500 kV SF6 transformer is no problem, and the 220 kV and 110 kV will not be a problem, and the charter was ecstatic and eagerly asked: "How long will it take to get the SF6 transformer out?" ”
"It will take at least half a year for all the trials to be done."
Huang Li paused, and then said: "As for insulators, we have just set up a project team with manpower and made it our top priority this year. In addition, colleagues from the Berlin laboratory also provided some valuable suggestions. We talked on the phone for more than four hours, and we all agreed that we needed to get back together again.
The mandrel is made of high-temperature epoxy resin and high-strength acid-resistant glass fiber yarn through the drawing process. Lao Guo's new material is made of umbrella cover, and the overall injection molding can not only ensure that there are no bubbles inside, but also ensure the reliable interface bonding of the two insulating materials. The end attachment and equalizing ring are nothing, the key is the process of the mandrel and umbrella cover. ”
An insulator is several million, a 500 kV sulfur hexafluoride transformer is hundreds of thousands, and the real high value-added products are not only large in market and large in quantity. And on behalf of NB Electric's technology in the field of high voltage, the charter said categorically: "Lao Huang." Funding is not a problem, time is not a problem, although you can throw off your arms and do it, as long as you can get them out, it will be a victory, and you will not have to worry about not recovering the cost of research and development. ”
"I know, so I'm about to apply for a grant from the Finance Department, and you're just in time, so I don't have to go to the monkey to sign it again."
The pen moved to 24 million, Xia Yao was secretly frightened, and then realized NB Electric's determination in research and development.
"That's right," the charter just put down the pen, and grabbed the application form and said: "Sulfur hexafluoride is colorless, odorless, and non-flammable, but it will produce corrosive electrolytes and highly toxic decomposers when exposed to water, and if people inhale a large amount of it, it will cause dizziness, pulmonary edema, coma and even death, so we must pay attention to safety during the test."
In addition, the old grandson was notified and asked to immediately put on the online environmental monitoring system of sulfur hexafluoride gas. It is much easier to combine dual gas sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, fan controllers and alarms than to engage in PLC. First build a set to install the experimental workshop, and then slowly improve. ”
The safety issue is no trivial matter, Huang Li'an thought so: "No need to notify, he is upstairs and did not return to the headquarters last night." ”
"Stayed up late again?"
"Well, after five years of sharpening his sword, in order to engage in PLC and inverter, he is about to become a computer expert."
"Then let him sleep a little longer, let's go to Mr. Jiang's side first."
Xia Yao has always been very curious about the CT project, and put the keys and watches into the lockers in the women's locker room, changed into a white coat, put on shoe covers, and followed the two through the security gate and into the spotless dust-free workshop.
From the outside, it looks no different from the factory buildings of NB Electrician and NB Electrical, but inside it is a different scene.
The huge workshop is separated by tempered glass, the ventilation ducts are overhead, and the fluorescent lamps illuminate the inside brighter than the outside, and dozens of researchers, also in white coats, are checking the chips in front of the instruments, or lying on the ground to debug the equipment, or crackling on the keyboard in front of the computer......
In the large tempered glass partition in the center of Area B, there are three CT machines that look similar to those in the hospital, but the wires, cables and data cables are densely connected.
A piglet with four hooves tied, like an anesthetized, was carefully placed on an examination table by a researcher. When he walked out of the testing room and closed the door to isolate electromagnetic radiation, the examination table slowly moved, raised and moved forward, and sent the little piglet under the X-ray detector.
"Check that the servo system of the bed is normal!"
"The scanner servo system is normal."
More than a dozen R&D personnel sit in front of a computer to monitor the working status and data of connected instruments and sensors. A male researcher in his forties shouted, "Enter the scan, start the timer." ”
"The high-voltage power supply is working fine."
They were so attentive that they were unaware of the arrival of the three of them, and as soon as Xia Yao saw the outline of a piglet appear on the monitor, a researcher suddenly said, "The temperature of the tube is out of standard!" ”
"Go on."
After about two minutes, one of the researchers looked back and said, "36 seconds of reconstruction, clear imaging." ”
"It's 6 seconds faster than the day before yesterday, it's an improvement."
Chief Engineer Jiang lowered his head to confirm the data, and said expressionlessly: "Xiao Chen, disconnect the power supply and check the tube; Xiao Li, contact An Soft and tell Mr. Zhang that the imaging system still needs to be optimized; Xiao Wu, type out the noise and temperature test data, and compare it with the last test results to see if there is any improvement. ”
There was a "pop" applause behind him, and everyone realized the existence of the three charters.
After a farewell for more than half a year, Chief Engineer Jiang was excited, clasped his hand and asked, "Zhang Gong, when did you come back?" ”
"Just came back," the charter asked with a smile as he nodded to the crowd, "spiraling?" ”
"It's spiraling," Chief Engineer Jiang lowered his head emphatically, and said with regret: "But the imaging speed is too slow, it only takes 7 or 8 seconds abroad, and we are five times as much as them." In addition, there are problems with heat dissipation and noise, and new breakthroughs and improvements are needed. ”
"It's good to be able to get a prototype in half a year, and everyone has worked hard." Charters walked into the testing room, pointed to the freshly removed tubes and asked, "Is this ours, or is it someone else's?" ”
Chief Engineer Jiang's eyes were blazing, and he excitedly introduced: "Ours, except for computers and chips, is basically ours. After you went abroad last year, we set up six major project teams to tackle slip rings and scanners, tubes, detectors, high-voltage power supplies, imaging systems and film output systems. It cost nearly 200 million, and if the tube is still used by others, then I really don't have the face to see you. ”
"Okay, that's great!"
The charter walked out of the testing room and said to everyone in a low voice: "Although there is a gap with international peers, the gap is not that big. In fact, I was shocked by your progress, I always thought that it would not be easy to get a conventional CT out this year, but you have not only done a conventional CT, but also a spiral CT.
From conventional to spiral, from single to double, this is a very remarkable progress. The slow speed can be solved by continuously optimizing the imaging software, and I believe that heat dissipation and noise can also be solved. After these problems are solved, go directly to the fourth floor! Either you don't do it, or you have to do it better than your competitors. Only by being better than them can we be competitive in the market. ”
Including the system engineering laboratory, the technology application laboratory, the Taiwan R&D center and the Berlin NB laboratory, six major project teams, more than 40 teams, nearly 400 people for more than seven months of hard work, spent more than 170 million yuan to get this third immature prototype, I don't know how much it cost to scan the upper four layers?
Chief Engineer Jiang froze, so everyone froze, looking at their face-to-face appearances, the charter continued: "Funding is not a problem, the important thing is the results." Just ten minutes ago, I also told Director Huang that as long as it is a promising project, as long as it can be done, then we can recover the R&D cost.
On the four-layer scanning, at most another 200 million will be invested, right? Most of the accessories can be self-produced or domestically produced, and it can achieve a profit of 1 million per unit, which is 400 CT machines. If you count the extended digital X-ray machines, industrial CT machines, security gates and luggage X-ray machines, there are not even 400 units. ”
To give money, to purchase instruments, what accessories to process immediately, the experimental workshop can do it, the experimental workshop can do it, the experimental workshop can not do it, please cooperate with the manufacturer to do it, and the domestic can't do it to Germany, almost responsive.
The total number of doctors and masters in various majors is as high as more than 80, and its lineup is not weaker than "Zhonghua No. 1", and the funds are several times that of "Zhonghua No. 1". Zhang Gong is right, only by getting the four layers out can our CT machine be competitive in the market. ”
"Don't worry, Zhanggong, we won't let you down, and we won't let your investment go down the drain."
"I'm convinced of that."
The charter looked around at everyone and said with a smile: "The digital X-ray machine still needs to be improved, and the company's plan is very clear. In addition to the CT machine and digital X-ray here, NB Instrumentation is also engaged in medical examination equipment, and even plans to set up a small chemical factory to produce our own CT and X-ray films.
