Chapter 111 Waste Utilization (4k)

After candid and efficient communication and full exchange of views between the Third Steel Rolling Mill and the Operation Office, and committed to the rational and effective use of Comrade Gao Zhendong, the two sides reached a constructive result: Comrade Gao Zhendong suspended his work at the Operation Office for two days and returned to the Third Steel Rolling Mill to deal with the accumulation problem of ESR.

After returning to the third rolling mill, Gao Zhendong immediately retrieved ESR's recent experimental records, conducted a detailed analysis, and then called a meeting with ESR's technical staff.

At the meeting, Liang Faming and Fang Yinghong felt embarrassed. They had thought that Gao Zhendong had done all the groundbreaking work and they only needed to maintain the status quo. However, they did not expect that if they changed the product, it would not be so smart. They would also have to delay Director Gao's work and had to come back from the Institute of Operations to provide support.

Gao Zhendong didn't think it was a big deal. After all, ESR was a new technology, and he was doing research with a cheat. As a result, the people in the First Research Room didn't have much accumulation in this area, and they just got a new technology and started using it.

When they are walking on the road they have paved themselves, these problems are not prominent and obvious, but once they move a little forward on this road, the problems of unstable foundation and insufficient accumulation will immediately appear.

Gao Zhendong looked at the somewhat frustrated ESR team members and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if you have any questions, bring them up and we'll discuss them. This is originally a new thing, let's think about it from another perspective. In just these few months, we have achieved so many results, including results in the refining of specific materials. What you want now is nothing more than to come up with a rule to better and faster guide the ESR production of materials outside the test range, right?"

After hearing what Gao Zhendong said, everyone thought that it made sense. It was already very good to be able to produce such good results in such a short period of time. Thinking of this, everyone's spirits became higher.

Liang Faming became one of the core members of ESR after Gao Zhendong temporarily left. He was both happy and ashamed about what Gao Zhendong said.

I’m glad that Director Gao didn’t blame us and fully affirmed our achievements.

I feel ashamed that when Director Gao was working hard on more important tasks, I did not complete the tasks left by Director Gao, and even disturbed Director Gao from work and asked him to rush back to help everyone.

Thinking of this, Liang Faming said, "Director Gao, I'm really sorry for not doing my duty."

Gao Zhendong waved his hand and said, "No, no, we just need to solve the problem. Let's talk about the problem. I'll see if I can solve it. If I can't solve it, I'll try to seek external support."

Liang Faming and Fang Yinghong looked at each other and took out a stack of materials. Since Director Gao was back, they should not waste his time and ask him if they had any questions.

"Director Gao, when we use the remelting working voltage you selected to melt other alloys, we often find that the oxide impurity content of some types of alloy products will increase, or the segregation of some alloys will increase."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, you should pay attention that the selection of working voltage is not fixed. When the slag has good conductivity, smelting contains easily oxidized elements such as aluminum and titanium, and smelting products that are prone to segregation, it is appropriate to choose a lower working voltage."

After thinking for a while, Gao Zhendong added: "Let me give you a formula. This is an empirical formula. Generally speaking, you can get good results by using this formula."

Gao Zhendong wrote a formula on the blackboard in the conference room. The form of the formula was very simple, but it was not so easy to get this formula.

The participants hurriedly wrote down the formula, and Gao Zhendong also explained to them in detail the issue of selecting the range of constants in the formula.

"In summary, you can choose the basic operating voltage between 27V and 37V based on the key points I mentioned above."

Another project team member raised his hand and said, "Director Gao, we have a rough idea of ​​the voltage, but what about the current?"

Gao Zhendong smiled: "Compared to voltage, current is simpler. It is mainly determined by the cross-sectional area of ​​the consumable electrode and the current density. I have already given you the formula for current density. In fact, your problem mainly lies in the seemingly clear cross-sectional area of ​​the consumable electrode. In the formula for the cross-sectional area of ​​the consumable electrode, the coefficient range I gave you is 0.4~0.6, but please note that under the premise of ensuring quality and safety, this coefficient should be as large as possible within this range."

"Director Gao, when we calculated the length of the consumable electrode, the length we calculated always seemed a little short in actual application."

"Is it a problem with the forging electrodes?"

"Right, right, Director Gao, how did you guess it so quickly?"

"Go back and take a good look at the formula I gave you. Should the density of cast electrodes be 0.95 and that of forged electrodes be 1? The experiments I conducted before I left were conducted with cast electrodes, and your subsequent experiments used forged electrodes. If you still use 0.95, it must be too short."

"Director Gao"

"."

Gao Zhendong spent a day and a half working with his colleagues in the ESR experimental group to solve a series of problems from theory to practice.

After the parameters that could be quickly verified showed that most of the problems were moving in a positive direction, Gao Zhendong said goodbye to his comrades at ESR and left the factory. He planned to take this opportunity to rest for half a day and, by the way, make use of the scraps he had won in this month's lottery.

Gao Zhendong rode his bike, but did not go home, but went straight to Lou Xiaoe's house.

Father Lou is at home. Actually, for him now, there is no serious work to do. He is often busy.

Seeing Gao Zhendong coming, Father Lou, who was lying down listening to the opera, waved and said hello: "Zhendong is here, Xiao'e is upstairs, you can go up directly."

After he finished speaking, he remembered something and added, "By the way, the thing you mentioned last time is settled. The first batch of 6 should have arrived. It was originally 7. I asked your eldest brother to keep 1 there to produce some radios seriously. One is to sell them to Southeast Asia and continue the business, and keep this business. The other is that if we don't produce any, it will be easy to be found out that there is something wrong."

Gao Zhendong sat down in the living room: "Uncle, thank you very much. It just so happens that I have something to ask you."

Hearing that Gao Zhendong was coming, Lou Xiao'e, who had rushed downstairs excitedly, stuck out her tongue at her father and Gao Zhendong, made a face, and went upstairs again.

Hearing this, Father Lou sat up and said, "Just tell me, no matter what it is, I will definitely cooperate with you as long as it is possible. Let's go to the study and talk."

The future father-in-law and son-in-law entered the study and sat down. Gao Zhendong didn't waste any time and quickly finished explaining the matter and went to accompany Lou Xiao'e.

"Uncle, regarding the continued operation of that company in Hong Kong Island, I have something here that may be useful."

Father Lou’s first reaction was not happiness: “Zhendong, don’t make any mistakes.”

Gao Zhendong laughed: "Uncle, do you think I am that kind of person? Haha. I came up with a product on my own, and it has nothing to do with the government. This thing is not very useful here now. People don't have the spare time, spare money, and resources to use it. That's why I gave it to you. But outside, it is very useful."

Knowing that Gao Zhendong had a righteous mind in this regard and would not do anything rash, after hearing what Gao Zhendong said, Lou's father said seriously: "Oh, that's great, what is it?"

Gao Zhendong took out a set of hand-drawn drawings and materials. Apart from the necessary instructions, the entire set of materials only contained drawings. The necessary instructions were also handwritten and printed, with no personal style at all.

The cover of the document has a line of words: "Cassette tape recorder and tape design drawing". The cassette tape was invented by Philips, the company of Sea Coachman, in 1962. It later formed an international standard and became the standard carrier of popular music products in the next few decades.

This thing was won by Gao Zhendong in a lottery this month. To be honest, this thing doesn't mean much in China at this time.

At the same time, even if it is released domestically, it is a fantasy to want to form an international standard. There are many things that have nothing to do with the advancement of technology.

But it is different in Hong Kong Island. Channels and markets are not a problem. It is even possible to form international standards like the original designer because of Hong Kong Island’s special circumstances.

For China, the only significance of this thing is probably that it can provide a low-cost computer storage device with acceptable performance.

For a long time, cassette tape drives were the standard external storage configuration for personal computer enthusiasts. Although the speed was worryingly slow, it was cheap.

The machine was cheap, the tapes were cheap, the capacity was large, the content was easy to copy, and it could be replaced and expanded at any time. For personal computer enthusiasts at that time, there was no better external storage than this.

As long as this thing is realized according to Gao Zhendong's idea, there will be no problem in getting it in China, so it makes no difference where it is released.

Gao Zhendong obtained the design materials for this thing by cheating, and there is no R&D cost at all. The technology involved is mature now. As long as we get Gao Zhendong's design information, we can immediately organize the equipment and start production in a short time.

Father Lou took the information and read it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more excited he became. As a once successful industrialist, Father Lou could see the benefits of this thing. Among the product categories that are most likely to succeed, mass consumer products will always have a place.

Now in Hong Kong Island, there is an electronic industrial company that is recognized by all parties. If it continues to produce this product, it can be explained to all parties, making money while better supporting the construction work here.

Just make money from foreigners and do things for Chinese people.

Father Lou put down the information and said to Gao Zhendong: "Zhendong, this is a good thing. With this, our Zhenxing Electric will have the confidence to stand firm for a long time. You should have some ideas on how to operate it. I want to hear them."

Gao Zhendong said: "It's actually very simple, just a few steps."

"The first step is to apply for a patent. Uncle, you hire an international patent lawyer and firm in Hong Kong Island to apply for patents in all countries that can be applied for patents. And ask them to find foreigners who are familiar with patent affairs to apply for related peripheral patents to form a patent protection pool. In this process, you must be especially careful of the foreigners."

Father Lou nodded: "Well, your idea is safe and mature."

"The second step is to find music product manufacturers and form cooperation with them. At the same time, we need to organize production so that when we start selling, we have both machines and music resources."

Father Lou continued to nod.

"The third step is to use patent licensing as a means to make appropriate concessions, seek extensive cooperation, form an industrial alliance, and promote the formation of international standards. At this point, within 20 years, 'Zhenxing Denso' will be able to rest easy."

Father Lou's eyes lit up: "Zhendong, you are indeed a man who does great things. This is a big plan. Your eldest brother definitely can't come up with the third point you mentioned."

Gao Zhendong was not modest either, and said with a smile: "Uncle, I don't know the areas that my elder brother is good at, so I may have to trouble him for these things."

Father Lou laughed: "If he wants to get this thing, he will be so happy that he will fly."

After that, he came to Gao Zhendong and whispered, "Xiao'e is working at Zhenxing Electric, and her stock is the same as her elder brother's."

Gao Zhendong waved his hand: "Uncle, this is your family affair. I won't get involved. Haha, you can make your own arrangements."

Father Lou didn't say anything else. He carefully put away all the information, then smiled and walked out of the study with Gao Zhendong.

Lou Xiao'e was upstairs, with half of her head stretched out, staring at the study door eagerly for a long time. When she saw the two people come out, she cheered, rushed downstairs, and pulled Gao Zhendong upstairs.

Father Lou felt that his clothes were leaking a little air, so he couldn't help but pull his collar and tighten his clothes.

I stayed at Lou Xiao'e's house until the evening and had a few drinks with Lou's father. Lou's father was in a good mood and drank a little too much.

Before leaving, Lou Xiao'e blamed Gao Zhendong for getting her father drinking, which made Gao Zhendong look aggrieved. He said that he drank too much on his own ability, and it had nothing to do with him.

After spending some time with Lou Xiaoe, Gao Zhendong rode his bike home feeling slightly tipsy.

Back in the courtyard, it was still not very quiet. Liu Haizhong stopped beating the children, but there was a lot of quarreling in Xu Damao's family. Fortunately, no one took action, so there was no quarrel.

Let them quarrel. After a while, Xu Damao got used to it. Xu's father and mother couldn't stand it anymore and moved out. It was just the two of them, quarreling behind closed doors, and no one could stop them.

Just when Gao Zhendong solved the problem of the ESR project in the factory and returned to the Institute of Computing to continue training the first batch of general-purpose computer talents in China, several dusty people came to the Research Institute in Beijing.

When these people arrived and verified their identities, they waited in the reception room. Not long after, Engineer Lu and Engineer Zeng from the infrared air-to-air combat missile department, as well as Lin Lianwei, arrived together.

When Zeng Gong saw the person coming, he walked up to him and gave him a bear hug: "Old classmate, why are you here? Why didn't you go directly to the Third Steel Rolling Mill to look for someone?"

His classmate from the Northeast Carbon Research Institute looked dejected and said, "Don't mention it. I asked the 17th Ministry of Machinery, but the answer I got was 'no comment'. If they hadn't verified that I was also from the institute, I think they would have treated me as a spy."

Several people from the Guidance Research Institute looked at each other. Is Gao Zhendong so sensitive now in the 17th Ministry of Machine Building?

　I was very busy today, but I tried my best and achieved 10,000 goals today. I give myself a thumbs up.

I will save up slowly and try to update it in one go after a while.
