Sure enough, at ten o'clock in the morning, a gray jeep appeared at the gate of Beijing University on time, Zhong Bai took his and Academician Xu's luggage and put it in the car first, and waved at Xu Guangxian who was in a daze, shouting: "Academician Xu, you get in the car first, it's cold outside!" ”

"Oh, I'll get in the car." Xu Guang got into it first, but he couldn't stop the doubts in his heart.

Why is this jeep so familiar?

Before he could ask, Zhong Bai also quickly got in, patted the driver in front of him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master, I'll trouble you along the way." ”

"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do. Director Bi specially asked me to drive, and I will definitely send the two of you to the Baiyun Obo mining area safely! The driver in his forties said with a smile, looking very modest.

"Director Bi?" Xu Guangxian finally remembered, glanced at the emblem of Huaqing University on the seat in surprise, and asked the driver rhetorically: "Is it Director Bi of the Academic Affairs Office of Huaqing University?" You car...... Is it Huaqing University? ”

"Yes, Academician Xu. Hurry up and fasten your seatbelts, and we're off right away. The driver just nodded faintly and stepped on the accelerator.

Looking at Xu Guangxian's surprised expression, Zhong Bai whispered to him that he had indeed found Huaqing University to borrow a car through his personal connections.

Xu Guang was even more shocked after hearing it first!

Who doesn't know that the two best universities in Beijing have always been in a relationship of cooperation and competition, and the two are good on the surface, but in fact they are holding back each other's strength.

A professor from Jingcheng University wants to go on a business trip to find Huaqing University to borrow a jeep? This would not have been possible in normal times!

But Zhong Bai just did it? How does he do it? And is it also the director of the academic affairs office of the other party who contacted him?

Zhong Bai had already seen Xu Guangxian's doubts, but there was an outsider driver present at this time, and he was inconvenient to elaborate, so he just vaguely said that he had a good relationship with Director Bi, and there was no big problem in asking the other party for help.

Of course, Zhong Bai will not tell the truth, that is, the last time I temporarily helped Huaxi Machinery Factory to find the 5 graduates of the 83 class of machinery to intern in the past, these just a few days have been affirmed by the factory, and because of their own high quality, they can directly follow several foreign engineers to learn, both sides are very satisfied with each other, after this batch of graduates called Bi Yinghua to report, Bi Yinghua is of course very grateful to Zhong Bai.

The relationship is so good that Zhong Bai came to Bi Yinghua to borrow a car, is that not a proper thing?

The bad guy is also the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office of Huaqing University, and the power in his hands is not small at all.

The jeep was much faster than the last bus, and at about 8 p.m., the two arrived at the Ningyuan Rare Earth Metallurgical Plant.

Mi Bin and Yan Yutian came to pick up the car, they have been on duty in the factory since the New Year's Day, during this time, because the factory director Zhou Changqing was sick and the factory was basically shut down, there was not much work to do.

"Academician Xu, you are here! The two of us spent all day in the factory doing nothing, and we both felt like we were going crazy. As soon as Mi Bin came up, he couldn't help but complain.

"Don't worry, didn't I bring Xiao Zhong over to round with you? Let's put the things away first, and then go to my room, and let Xiao Zhong's latest idea - the method of producing molten salt electrolytic oxides in the fluoride system for the production of neodymium metal tell you. "Xu Guangxian's body is still quite tough, after sitting in the car for so long, the first thing he thought about after getting out of the car was work.

Yan Yutian looked at the appearance of the two of them, and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, right?" It's never too late to go to the cafeteria to eat something and then work......"

Xu Guangxian patted his head and said, "Also, it seems that I haven't worked for too long." Xiao Zhong is still growing his body, and he still has to eat first! ”

Zhong Bai didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, but he had a little more respect for this academician of the Republic in his heart.

People in their 60s have been on a long-distance bus for nearly nine hours, and their first reaction when they get off the bus is to discuss knowledge with everyone, and it is rare for comrades to focus on their work in any era.

After a simple meal in the cafeteria, several people came to Xu Guangxian's room and listened carefully to Zhong Bai's explanation of the principle and process of "Chloride System Molten Salt Electrolytic Oxide to Produce Neodymium Metal", because this is also an important work that Xu Guangxian is going to start immediately after coming over this time.

Zhong Bai sent the information to the two of them, and while explaining, he told everyone the consensus reached by him and Xu Guangxian: "...... This method has a high absorption rate of rare earths, although it was not easy to industrialize at the beginning, but we are now in the exploration stage, under the premise of ensuring that as much neodymium metal is electrolyzed as possible, we will appropriately increase the output and lay the foundation for the subsequent mass production. ”

Compared with Yan Yutian, in addition to electrolytic rare earths, Mi Bin's Hujiang Taiding Alloy Factory also has other metal products that need to go through electrolysis, so he understands this method faster and deeper than Yan Yutian.

After listening to this, Mi Bin carefully looked at the information in his hand for a few minutes, then frowned and asked: "Zhong Bai, the information says that the unit consumption and material ratio of this electrolysis method are related to the utilization rate of neodymium oxide. ”

Zhong Bai nodded and said: "There must be, the higher the utilization rate of neodymium oxide, the more neodymium metal can be produced." Moreover, the molten salt ratio and feeding speed are also directly related to the improvement of the utilization rate of neodymium oxide, but we need to obtain specific data in specific experimental production. However, this requires an on-site inspection of whether the existing electrolysis equipment in the plant meets the requirements. ”

Mi Bin was excited when he heard this, and immediately stood up: "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go to the factory now! ”

Xu Guangxian still admired this kind of young man who said he could move, and he was about to get up, but as soon as he stood halfway, he found that the lumbar spine was a little swollen and painful, and he immediately grabbed the handrail with his hand and made an "ouch" sound.

"Academician Xu, are you okay?" Yan Yutian sat in the position closest to Xu Guangxian, and when he saw this, he quickly helped him up with both hands and asked with concern.

"It's okay, this should be an old problem...... Xu Guangxian shook his head, supported his back with his other hand, and said: "I have always had a little problem with my lumbar spine, and today it should be a car for a long time, and now it is a little swollen and painful." ”

"Do I need to see a doctor?" The old man in his sixties has a backache, this is no joke, Zhong Bai asked immediately.

"There's no need to fight so much." Xu Guangxian squeezed out a smile, shook his head and said: "This problem will be alleviated as long as you lie down for a night, and it is inconvenient to call a doctor to go to the city again at night." ”
