Truth be told, even Lawrence's initial thoughts on this paper were just to have fun, to see what was surprisingly ridiculous, and maybe to provide him with enough laughing material for a year. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In his opinion, perhaps the braided Huaxia, known as the scientific and technological desert, has now made good achievements in other fields, but in materials science, they are just a child who has just learned to walk.

If this paper had been sent by those top universities in China, it might have attracted everyone's attention, at least it would not have been swept away and thrown into the garbage basket.

However, it is a pity that the author of the paper comes from a secondary school in China, and even the best secondary schools in England do not dare to say that they can do something in the field of materials, after all, the investment in materials research is too big, too big.

In their opinion, even if the use temperature of titanium alloy is guaranteed to be in a condition that is enough for use, it is already very difficult, let alone reduce the cost by half.

However, as he read the paper, Lawrence's expression became more and more focused, and his experience actually told him that the theory proposed in this paper was feasible.

Therefore, through his efforts and promotion, this paper can finally be published in the Chinese Journal of Materials, and it is also introduced on the cover.

He was looking forward to what kind of wonderful chemical reaction the words lanthanum, titanium, and Huaxia and cheap would form.

Titanium alloy has a huge role in various engines, aviation satellites, and aircraft, if the price of titanium alloy can be reduced by half, it will be a huge promotion for the whole world.

Manufacturers can use more titanium alloy in their engines and aircraft, so that they have a larger load capacity and a longer effective working time.

Perhaps this paper will bring about a titanium revolution, or even a mechanical revolution!

"Lawrence, the editor-in-chief told you to go to the editor-in-chief's office. ”

Hearing this, Lawrence was a little surprised, the papers in this issue have been sorted out, and the screening of the next issue of papers has not yet begun, it should be the most relaxed time for the entire Journal of Materials, the editor-in-chief called himself over at this time, what is the matter?

Is it to praise yourself for picking out a piece of gold from the garbage basket?

Thinking of this, Lawrence straightened his collar and walked towards the editor-in-chief's office with some excitement.

As soon as he walked into the editor-in-chief's room, Lawrence saw the editor-in-chief sitting in a chair, his eyes motionless looking at the computer screen.

"That paper, the application of lanthanum in high-temperature titanium alloys, I decided to withdraw it, and you choose another one to hand in, as soon as possible. ”

And just when Lawrence was full of joy and waiting for the editor-in-chief's praise, these words exploded in his head like a thunderbolt from the sky!

"Why?" Lawrence asked in disbelief.

"That's what Professor Stephen meant. The editor-in-chief said lightly.

"Professor Stephen?" Lawrence said in surprise.

Professor Lawrence naturally knows that he is the top expert on titanium alloys in England, and he is also a frequent guest of their Materials Journal, and has published many papers in the Materials Journal.

"Professor Steven, why are you preventing this paper from being published?" asked Lawrence, confused.

"Some time ago, Professor Steven's metal materials laboratory had just developed a high-temperature titanium alloy, and they were also talking to some steel mills about the transfer of patents. ”

Hearing this, Lawrence suddenly realized, that is to say, Professor Steven and they are talking about the transfer of a high-temperature titanium alloy patent, if that Chinese paper is published, then Professor Steven's research will be worthless.

It is clear that no one will refuse a new product with half the cost of production.

Because it means that the profit is the original, five, or even tenfold.

You must know that the profit of a normal steel mill is only 23 percent, even if the special steel is higher, it will not exceed 5 percent, and the direct reduction of the cost by half does not mean that the profit can have an astonishing 50 percent.

In the face of such a large profit, even a fool knows how to choose.

Even if this paper represents only this possibility, it may take two or three years if the real results appear, but Lawrence believes that all people will be willing to wait for two or three years.

"Is the Chinese Journal of Materials going to give up the most basic fairness as an academic journal?" Lawrence asked angrily.

This paper was picked up by him from the waste manuscript basket, and it was he who visited experts in the field of titanium alloys one by one and asked them to review the papers.

In his opinion, or this paper may be the most important paper he has ever encountered in his life.

And the legendary experience of this paper will also bring him great glory, and when the time comes, he may really let all academic journals and magazines know the name Lawrence.

But now the editor-in-chief actually said that if he wanted to kill this paper, Lawrence could not accept anything.

"No, I don't intend to throw away the glory of the Journal of Materials, but we should be more cautious when we are faced with a paper from China, especially if this paper is only from a middle school teacher, right?" said the editor-in-chief with a smile.

"Then there's no hope?" said Lawrence, a little reluctantly.

"Unless he is studying the actual thing, I am afraid that this paper will not be published. ”

Hearing this, Lawrence slammed the table, turned around and left.

What are you kidding, if you can study a direction, it is already an achievement, and if you want to see the real thing, it is simply a dream.

You know, there may be a little bit of luck in the theoretical direction, and it is possible to find it if you explore it, but it is absolutely impossible to see the real thing.

Just the investment in experiments can crush a laboratory, let alone the existence of an individual, he doesn't know how many laboratories he has seen with huge investment, but no return.

As far as he knew, Dr. Steven and they had spent 20 million pounds to develop this high-temperature titanium alloy formula, which was an astronomical amount for an individual.

Suddenly, it occurred to Lawrence that he might be able to contact the author of the paper to see if he could do anything.

In any case, he would not give up so easily.

China at this time.

Looking at the dozens of missed calls on his mobile phone, Chu Hao suddenly felt that his head was big.

The missed calls above are all Han Lu's.

Belch......

He only remembered now that since he received Shen Jun's call, he hadn't called Han Lu until now.
