Chapter 60: The Strange Old Man in the Sleeper Car
The factory still attaches great importance to Zhong Bai's business trip to Tiandu this time, and specially sent a car to send him to the train station.
Of course, in addition to the attention, he also brought a lot of things this time.
Not to mention his luggage, he brought a wild roe deer treasured by the office director Huang Xingzhi's house, as well as a bottle of Wuliangye that Chu Jun gave him alone.
The wild roe deer was given to Associate Professor Tong Sifang on behalf of the factory, and this bottle of Wuliangye was given by Chu Jun to the old classmate who worked in the Industrial Department as a personal contact!
It can be seen from this incident that Chu Jun really attaches great importance to Zhong Bai's trip this time, and he used his own private wine collection to ask him to get internal information.
Stepping on the green car to the provincial capital Tiandu again, of course, as a business trip, Zhong Bai rarely enjoyed a treatment that he had not experienced after being reborn - a hard sleeper.
At this time, the hard sleeper environment is much better than the hard seat car, it is simply a world of difference, and it is also related to the standard of living, after all, it is more than ten yuan more expensive, which is not a joke.
After Luo Sheng from the office helped put everything on the luggage rack, he patted Zhong Bai on the shoulder and said, "Have a good trip!" I'll go back to the factory first. ”
"No problem."
This train did not start from Shanping County, but a train from Tongzhou, the provincial capital next door, to Tiandu, so Zhong Bai, who was halfway through the train, found that there were already many passengers in the hard sleeper car.
The train started slowly, it was almost a dozen hours of driving, and it would not be until early tomorrow morning to arrive in the provincial capital of Tiandu, and there seemed to be nothing else to do except sleep.
There are no headphones and NetEase cloud music, no e-books to read, fortunately, Zhong Bai also brought some information books, and sat silently on the stool in the hard sleeper car to look through it.
This "Fertilizer Engineering Series" is the standard configuration in the fertilizer factory books, and every fertilizer factory employee has it, even the janitor.
Zhong Bai hasn't turned it over since he got it, a brand new book, brewing a cup of tea, accompanied by the sound of "clang" railroad tracks, Zhong Bai holding a book in the hard sleeper car has also formed a good landscape.
"Young man, from the fertilizer factory?"
Just as Zhong Bai was slowly flipping through the "Fertilizer Engineering Series", an old voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Hmm." Zhong Bai closed the book, turned his head to look, and saw an old man with gray hair and a particularly high hairline, but he looked tough and energetic, staring with interest at the "Fertilizer Engineering Series" in his hand.
The other party's accent was an authentic Tiandu dialect, Zhong Bai was also bored, so he simply accosted the other party: "Uncle, you are also going to Tiandu?" ”
"Yes, I went to live at my son's house in Tongzhou for a while last month, and I was a little unaccustomed to it, and I still want to go back to Tiandu." The old man quickly bypassed this topic, but seemed very interested in Zhong Bai's work: "You got on the car from Shanping County, and you are from a fertilizer factory...... If I'm not mistaken, there is a fertilizer factory in Shanping County, right? ”
"That's right, I'm from the technical department of Shanping County Fertilizer Factory, and I'm on a business trip every day." Zhong Bai was still a little puzzled, why did this old man know a lot about the rhythm of the fertilizer factory?
"Shanping County Fertilizer Plant...... Oh yes, I heard that there was a phosphate fertilizer accident in your factory a few months ago, how about it, has it been solved now? Seeing Zhong Bai taking care of himself, the old man simply pulled down the small stool next to him and sat down.
Seeing him like this, he really chatted with Zhong Bai.
However, as soon as the other party mentioned this, Zhong Bai's brows immediately furrowed.
He is now a member of the Shanping County Fertilizer Factory, the basic festival that is still there, the factory is prosperous, the factory is ashamed, as soon as I get on the car and meet this strange old man without a few words to mention the phosphate fertilizer accident, although it has been solved, but it is still a little uncomfortable, so Zhong Bai's tone became cold: "After the unremitting efforts of the whole plant, it has been successfully solved a few days ago." ”
The old man raised his eyebrows: "Yes!" I heard that this matter has been investigated for a long time, and it is said that the cause has not been investigated, so why did it suddenly solve it? Tell me more about it, young man. ”
No, let me tell you more about it? Zhong Bai felt puzzled.
"Old comrade, who are you?" Zhong Bai immediately changed the other party's title from "uncle" to "old comrade", obviously shortened the distance and didn't want to answer, by the way, he also inquired about who this strange old man was, how did he know that the phosphate fertilizer accident in our factory was not to mention, and he looked very clear, and continued to ask?
"Me...... Ahem, he can be regarded as a retired veteran comrade in the industrial mouth, not a bad person. The old man coughed lightly, not caring at all about the vigilance in Zhong Bai's tone, and continued to ask: "Just tell me, what is the reason and how to solve it?" ”
As soon as he heard the other party say that he was a retired veteran comrade from the industrial mouth, Zhong Bai's vigilance subsided.
At this time, people in the same industry like to talk about professional issues, and this can also explain why the other party speaks with a Tiandu accent and actually knows that a phosphate fertilizer accident has occurred in the small Shanping County Fertilizer Factory.
"Oh, the reason for this is actually quite simple, it is the phosphate rock used to produce phosphate fertilizer......
When it came to professional issues, Zhong Bai entered the state, and explained the ins and outs of the entire accident clearly from a professional point of view.
Of course, he didn't say anything about inviting Tong Sifang, an associate professor of the Provincial Research Institute of Chemical Industry, after all, in Zhong Bai's opinion, Tong Sifang didn't play too much of a professional role in the whole thing, and basically did it himself.
And he also put the credit for finding the reason directly on the head of the technical department of the factory, after all, it is not necessary to say so clearly to a fellow old man who meets for the first time, right?
What is surprising is that in the process of Zhong Bai's narration, although he basically used all the professional terms, the old man could not only understand during the period, but also interjected from time to time to ask a few questions, which was quite professional.
In this way, the atmosphere of the two chatting was much smoother than at the beginning, after all, Zhong Bai had not talked about professional issues with others like this for a long time.
Of course, except for Shan Jianping, Zhong Bai feels that the other party has now become a live-action version of 100,000 whys, and he is always ready to answer his questions.
"Your technical department actually has the technical ability to discover what the ore itself is not phosphorus, strontium and aluminum ore...... Strontium sulfur and phosphorus aluminum ore? The old man was amazed and asked.
There is nothing to be modest about this, Zhong Bai had no choice but to nod and say: "It was the experiment I did on the spot with the experimental equipment at that time, and I found that the content of sulfur in the ore is indeed very high compared with ordinary phosphorus, strontium and aluminum ore, so I determined this." ”
The old man asked reluctantly: "I have never heard of this sulfur, phosphorus, strontium and aluminum ore when I worked before, you just mentioned that it comes from the mine in Xichuan Province?" ”
"That's right, there are only a few producing areas of strontium sulfide and strontium aluminum ore in China, and Xichuan Province is relatively large."
"Oh, so ......"
Just when the old man was still about to ask a question, a well-dressed old lady hurriedly came over and pulled him up: "Old Sun, the dishes you ordered are cold, what are you still talking about here?" Hurry up to the dining car to eat! ”
Before Zhong Bai could react, the old man had been pulled away by the old lady and disappeared at the other end of the train.
