In addition to completing his own work, whether in the team or eight hours, Fang Hanmin always likes to hold a book, not only incompatible with his colleagues, but also does everything possible to avoid collective activities, even if the unit organizes to watch the latest movie "Overseas Child" that year, he also finds an excuse to read in the dormitory alone.

I don't know whether I really admire Fang Hanmin's love of learning, or laugh at his nerdy style, or dislike his withdrawn and high-minded people, his colleagues gave him the nickname "Xiucai".

However, a few days ago, Fang Hanmin had a severe cold, and during the hospitalization, his colleagues remembered that he was from other places and had no relatives around, so they not only took the time to visit him in the hospital, but also helped him fetch water and buy food, and also gave him careful care. Perhaps moved, Fang Hanmin decided to get along with his colleagues from now on and try to make the relationship as harmonious as possible.

Today is Fang Hanmin's first day of work after recovering from illness and being discharged from the hospital, and he saw a group of people shouting around the squad leader in the workshop, so he leaned over curiously.

"Squad leader, why is this happening? The bonus of our position was originally the lowest in the whole workshop, but I didn't expect this quarter to be 20% less than last quarter, which is too bullying! A stocky worker with a shoehorn was extremely angry and kicked the empty cardboard box next to him far away.

"In the entire Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, the 'acylation' post environment is the worst, the work is the hardest, we are so tired every day that we can't straighten our waists, so we can get such a bonus, squad leader, didn't you ask the leaders above, do they still have a little conscience?"

"The leader is eccentric, this job can't be done!"

"The 'acylation' position is hard and tiring, and the bonus is small, this is really not a place for people to stay, I want to apply for transfer!" ......

Master Zhao, the squad leader, is in his forties and is a loyal person, and in the face of the anger of his colleagues, he can only patiently explain: "I, like you, also feel unfair, but the evaluation team said that the quality of our 'acylation' post products is unstable, and the yield is not up to standard, according to the factory's reward and punishment regulations, part of the bonus must be deducted." ”

"Brother Zhao, the post operation procedures are formulated by the technical department of the factory, we operate in strict accordance with the technical regulations, the product quality is unstable, and the yield is not up to standard, what does it have to do with our operators?" Itachi asked.

However, the evaluation team only recognizes the assessment results, and people don't care about technical issues. Let's go back to their respective posts quickly, if you delay your work, you will have to deduct more bonuses next quarter. Master Zhao coaxed and persuaded him, he wanted to calm things down.

Although everyone scolded and scolded, but helpless, just as they were about to disperse, they suddenly heard a loud voice, "In fact, as long as the process conditions are changed slightly, the yield and product quality of the 'acylation' post will be significantly improved." ”

Everyone followed the prestige and saw that the person who spoke was Fang Hanmin, a temporary worker who usually doesn't communicate with colleagues, has this guy recovered and been discharged from the hospital?

"Xiucai, are you saying that a slight change in the process conditions can improve the quality and yield? Did I hear me right? The board asked with great interest.

"That's right, that's what I said." Fang Hanmin said indifferently.

"It sounds simple, but you say, what conditions can make such a big difference?" Some people obviously didn't believe what Fang Hanmin said.

"Do you understand me when I say it?" Although this is choking, what Fang Hanmin said is the truth, because these workers in the grassroots team are at most at the beginning of Chinese, and they know more scientific and technological knowledge than nothing, don't look at them as workers of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory, except for operating machinery and equipment step by step, they don't know anything about esoteric pharmaceutical technology.

Except for Master Bancun and a very few colleagues, no one among the other employees, including the squad leader Master Zhao, believed the words that suddenly came out of Fang Hanmin's mouth, so no one took this matter seriously, and everyone dispersed after a few words.

It's no wonder that although Fang Hanmin usually likes to read, but the technical problems in the workshop, even the engineers of the technical department and the chief engineer's office of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory are helpless, who can believe that this temporary worker who has only been in the factory for more than a year can solve the technical problems of the workshop?

However, Master Bancun and two or three other colleagues believe that "Xiucai" holds the book all day long, and it is not impossible if he delves into any Taoism.

What is not known is that when Fang Hanmin was sick and hospitalized a few days ago, a person with the same name and surname as him, graduated from 985 University in biochemistry in his previous life, and studied in the United Kingdom to obtain a doctorate in pharmacy and pharmaceutical science from Oxford University, and worked as a project director of the new drug creation center of RGP in Europe.

At this moment, Fang Hanmin, who was standing in front of his colleagues, was no longer the same as the nerd "Xiucai" they were familiar with before!

At the end of the 70s, because of the higher efficacy, lower toxicity and side effects, a kind of antipyretic analgesic called "paracetamol" was used more and more in clinical practice, the active ingredient of this drug was "acetaminophen", at that time, the second workshop of the local state-owned Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory was producing this API, and Fang Hanmin's team was the "acylation" post of producing "acetaminophen".

Due to the immaturity of the technology, since it was completed and put into operation more than two years ago, the operation of the entire second workshop has not been smooth, including the "acylation" reaction, there have always been different degrees of technical problems in each position, but the problem of the "acylation" post is particularly serious, so Fang Hanmin's team has been repeatedly deducted bonuses.

Although colleagues know that Fang Hanmin likes to read books very much, they don't know that the books he reads have nothing to do with the process technology of the "acylation" position, but because after the crossing incident, he was possessed by a doctor of pharmaceutical science from Oxford University in his previous life, Fang Hanmin not only had a strong interest in pharmaceutical science, but also relied on his extremely high attainments in the field of pharmaceutical science in his previous life, even for the bonus of the team, he could not turn a blind eye to the technical problems in front of him.

......

A few days later, when Lao Yang, the director of the workshop, was inspecting the post, he walked up to Fang Hanmin, who was operating the machinery and equipment, he stopped and asked: "Xiaofang, did you say that as long as you change the process conditions, you can improve the yield and quality of the acylation post?" ”

Fang Hanmin continued the operation at hand, he glanced at Lao Yang, and said indifferently: "Yes, I said this." ”

"True or fake? You didn't say it casually, did you? ”

Fang Hanmin paused slightly, "Director, how can you talk about technical matters casually!" ”

"Oh----," Lao Yang nodded, he turned around and called the squad leader over, "Master Zhao, you find someone to replace Xiao Fang." Then tell Fang Hanmin to put down the work at hand for the time being and go to the workshop office with him.

As soon as the front foot left, someone talked behind the back, "Do you see it, you were called away by the leader, see if this kid will dare to run the train with his mouth full in the future!" ”

"Look at his virtue, a temporary worker, he doesn't pee on himself, and he pretends to be deep, as if he has a lot of ability."

"What was 'Xiucai' called by Lao Yang for? Could it be ......? ”

followed Lao Yang to the workshop office, and saw that the workshop technician Lao Wu was also inside, and Fang Hanmin stood at the door and did not go inside.

"Come into the house and sit down." After Lao Yang sat down at his simple desk, he turned sideways and greeted.

Fang Hanmin took a few steps forward and sat down on a bench against the wall.

Lao Wu, a workshop technician sitting opposite Lao Yang, spoke, "Comrade Xiaofang, we want to verify one thing with you. ”

"Wu Gong, what do you want to verify?" Fang Hanmin didn't know what Lao Wu's technical title was, and he felt that there would be no problem with such an honorific title.

"Did you say on the shop floor that the 'acylation' position can improve the quality and yield as long as the process conditions are changed?"

Fang Hanmin admitted frankly, "I said this. ”

"Oh----, since that's the case, there must be a basis, it can't be taken for granted, right? Can you tell us about your story? Also, could you tell us what conditions would have such a big effect? ”

Fang Hanmin is not polite, he first analyzed the influence of the medium on the acylation reaction from the perspective of the reaction mechanism, "The 'acylation' reaction needs protons as the medium, and the current process uses water as the reaction medium, although water molecules can also be ionized to produce protons, but according to the structural characteristics of water molecules, the protons produced by its ionization cannot fully meet the needs of the acylation reaction, so it is obviously not the most suitable reaction medium for the acylation reaction." ”

Lao Wu graduated from a chemical engineering college in 1970, although the depth of the basic knowledge is not enough, but the theory explained by the other party Hanmin, he can still understand some, "the problem is that the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory originally introduced the 'acetaminophen' production line from a scientific research institution, and the 'acylation' post is to use water as the reaction medium, which is also the process commonly used by domestic counterparts now, the theoretical basis you said makes sense, if you rashly change the reaction medium, can you guarantee that you will get better results?" ”

Workshop director Lao Yang is different, he graduated from a technical school in 69 years, to say hands-on work, he is definitely a good hand, Lao Yang is a doer, otherwise, he can't be the workshop director, but he is not interested in theory, especially Fang Hanmin's advanced theories, he is like listening to the book of heaven. Therefore, he simply said: "Xiao Fang, you are talking about these theories purely on paper, it is better to directly tell us how to change the process conditions and what is the most appropriate reaction medium." ”

In fact, as the director of the workshop, in the face of the technical problems in the whole workshop, Lao Yang is more anxious than anyone else.

The product quality is unstable, the yield is not up to standard, the bonuses of the workers will inevitably be affected, every day of the bonus, the complaints and scolding of the grassroots workers, has already filled Lao Yang's ears, but he can neither eliminate the grievances of the workers, nor can he stop the angry scolding of the workers, because Lao Yang knows very well that the technical problems have nothing to do with the grassroots workers, but their interests have really been damaged, and who will be unbalanced in their hearts.

Or because of technical reasons, the production environment of each post in the workshop is not good, some positions are seriously polluted, stinking, and the workers take the lowest bonus in the whole factory, in the past year, but all the workers with a little background, are entrusted to find a way to apply for transfer, the whole second workshop is unstable, it is difficult to retain people, the original quota of the position has different degrees of vacancies, and has to recruit temporary workers to the top post, Fang Hanmin was recruited into the factory in this case.

Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory originally planned to use the product "acetaminophen" to expand the scale of the enterprise and make a comeback in terms of output value and profits, but who would have thought that this project has now become the chicken ribs of the whole factory.

In order to build the "acetaminophen" production line, the company invested a lot of money, if the production is stopped because of unstable product quality, high cost and poor workshop environment, the machinery and equipment of the entire second workshop will become a pile of scrap iron, which will cause huge losses to the economic strength of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory.

In addition, several drugs with "acetaminophen" as an API occupy an increasing share of the pharmaceutical market, and it would be a pity for Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory to give up this product anyway.

However, if the production continues under the current situation, not only the downstream customers are very dissatisfied with the product quality, but also the product is almost unprofitable, and the workshop environment is poor, and even the workers of the factory are unwilling to work in the second workshop. For this kind of bad situation, the leadership team of Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory is very helpless, and Lao Yang, the director of the workshop, feels very aggrieved.

I don't know who passed on what Fang Hanmin said in the workshop that day to Lao Yang's ears, he was like grasping a life-saving straw, and he was about to go to Fang Hanmin to understand the situation, and Lao Wu, the workshop technician who was on the opposite table with Lao Yang, poured a basin of cold water on him, "A temporary worker's letter is open, are you still serious?" ”

Although he was persuaded by Lao Wu at that time, Lao Yang did not put what he heard behind him, he always wanted to find Fang Hanmin in person to understand the situation, and today he took the opportunity of the post inspection to verify the rumors he heard, and after being confirmed, he called Fang Hanmin to the workshop office, ready to further clarify the situation.

Lao Yang, a graduate of a technical school, admitted that he could not understand Fang Hanmin's theoretical explanations, and only cared about whether he could solve practical problems.

Because he was in it, Fang Hanmin knew the predicament of the second workshop, and he understood Lao Yang's concerns, so he ignored the doubts of Lao Wu, the workshop technician, but directly answered Lao Yang's question, "According to the acylation reaction mechanism, acetic acid is the most suitable reaction medium." ”

"In addition to switching to acetic acid as the reaction medium, do I need to change other conditions?" Lao Yang asked.

"Just change the reaction medium, other conditions remain the same. However, because acidic media are corrosive to equipment, the acylation reaction needs to be carried out in corrosion-resistant equipment. ”

Lao Yang thought for a while, and then said to Fang Hanmin: "You go back to your post, we will look for you again if we have something." ”

After Fang Hanmin left, without waiting for Lao Yang to speak, Lao Wu, a workshop technician, couldn't wait to ask: "What do you think about this matter?" ”

"I don't understand the theories he taught, but judging from Fang Hanmin's crisp answer and his expression, I think he is very confident in his plan."

Lao Wu's focus is different from Lao Yang's, "I also think he is very confident, but what is incomprehensible is that he is a temporary worker, at a young age, he can not only tell esoteric theories, but also come up with simple and easy technical solutions, regardless of the final result, which is incredible!" I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”
