Chapter 178: The Branch of Fate
The exchange took place after the test ended, and Midong had to wait for the follow-up work to be over before she could discuss the matter with Director Hofs, who had been vacated.
After the reactor stabilized the power supply, a large number of senior engineers put on a sleepless posture, methodically, step-by-step, meticulously staring at the generator set, and almost brought instant noodles directly. This is normal, just as outfitted ships still have to undergo mooring tests and sea types, how can the operation of a new reactor not be carried out after a long-term investigation?
But Director Hofs is obviously not a pure technical nerd, and after staying at the post for half an hour, he invited Meidong to a quiet room, and even took the initiative to make a pot of mellow tea.
"What I want to know is, if we want to speed up the progress of this project, in addition to providing sufficient funding and recruiting more talent, can we mobilize the whole consortium to help?"
Midong can be said to be extremely humble in raising this question, and it is by no means like those businessmen who only know how to make money, just slap the table and unilaterally give a deadline to the enterprise research institute for granted.
In fact, Hofs is also worried about this, the young boss is the most impatient person, but fortunately, as soon as Midon's words came out, he gave him a big breath. But how to answer this question, Hofs thought about it, and knew that it had to be a long-term consideration.
Here's when Midon humbly learns.
"It's great to realize the importance of talent, but it's not so easy to find or hire these kinds of people, and the first thing you have to deal with is confidentiality. As an industry insider, I can give you a list of experts you can trust and excel in their field. Of course, you, as an employer, have to do some detailed research and evaluation, and that's your job. ”
Before the test began, Hofs was busy, and his words were rough, and he even called Midon a girl. But now, the boss is asking what he needs, of course, opening and closing his mouth is a Japanese honorific, not to mention how polite it is.
"If you want to say what the consortium can help, in fact, it means what are the current technical difficulties."
Hofs pondered and explained to Mei Dong in the simplest way: "The core problem is the power of the magnetic field generator, as for how to increase the power, new materials, and basic metallurgical level, you can answer this to any engineering student, but whether you can build it is another matter." The project we are carrying out is the crown jewel of the entire human industrial civilization, and it can only be carried out by integrating the success of many major categories and dozens or hundreds of sub-categories. What can a consortium do to help...... Hehe. ”
Hoves's unbearable smile is actually the case with Midon, but it's always good to be able to help. Don't look at the fact that Japan can't build it, but that's a legal matter, and Honshu and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries can both produce aircraft carriers. Like the titanium alloy screws on the ejection deck that need to withstand thousands of degrees of heat, one is worth as much as an Audi car, and this is something that can be built by home!
"Did you get a pre-understanding of the whole project before you came here?"
"Of course, we all know about the existence of these reactors, and we also know that we are constantly building new equipment. Moreover, the largest and oldest one should need to be dismantled, and I can't provide you with a new venue. Now that the sixth generation of products has been released, maybe we should make room for the new members to settle down? ”
Of course that's the case, but because of the same supply of funds, the institute can't dismantle and move that big guy for the time being. But now that Midon has spoken, the problems of the past are naturally gone, and Director Hofs will be able to reset the research plan. After all, as Midong said, since a large area has been vacated, it can naturally be used to house a new reactor.
And you know, they're really getting smaller and smaller!
Coming to visit in the afternoon and leaving the station in the evening, Midong's harvest was a whole pile of A4 paper documents, because they had just been baked from the printer, and now they were still very hot in their hands. This includes the latest experimental data, as well as the technical dilemmas drafted by Hofs, including how the power of the so-called magnetic field generator increases.
"So, the purchase of rare earth resources, it seems that it is more necessary for me to go to Shanghai. The more sophisticated the parts, the more they need those rare metals with pitiful crustal content, and they also have to study the ratio of them as part of the alloy, which is the same as that of high-end aero engines......
The helicopter began to return towards the city, like a black swift plunging headlong into the steel forest. At the beginning of the night, it was time for the neon lights to flicker, and the weather was not good today, with light gray clouds covering the sky, as if it was about to rain at any moment. Meidong's mood is when she is entangled, and when she sees it like this, she almost feels mournful, maybe she is ready to jump out of the plane and kill herself in the next second?
"Fly low, lest a sudden lightning bolt come down and chop us down."
"No problem, but the president, the planes are all equipped with lightning protection devices, if you are really worried about this, in fact, you can rest assured......"
In short, the helicopter was still lowered in altitude and, like all low-altitude flying objects, produced endless noise to ordinary residents at the bottom of the altitude. At the end of the day, when the streets are crowded with pedestrians, many of them naturally look up to see who is doing what they are doing.
For example, Moko Miyamoto.
"Wow, helicopters, it's really enviable."
Outside the Sakura Bank branch in Setagaya Ward, female employees are leaving, and Moko is standing next to a temporary worker with dyed orange hair.
"And it's flying towards the city center! Is it to pick up the boss from work? Will there be a beautiful princess riding with him? That one...... Aoyama-san, what do you think? ”
Mozi knew that she was calling herself, and smiled slightly: "I think you are right. So, Yamada-san, on my resignation day, please have a grand farewell party, and tomorrow, I will go back to my hometown. ”
Since it was such a time, the colleagues who were around him naturally stopped talking about the helicopter, and they all talked about the resignation of "Mido Aoyama" and walked to the hotel they had booked. As for what she said about returning to her hometown, it seems obvious, and she should also be on the list of topics?
Crossing the road quickly, Mozi looked up at the sky, and the Black Hawk helicopter, which the other girls didn't recognize, disappeared into the eastern sky.
She didn't look envious at all, and her expression was very relaxed.
