Chapter 206: This trip was not in vain (3k)
These tasks may sound like a lot, but in fact they do not take up too much of his time. Writing a paper is not like writing a book, nor is it writing a design document or a process document. Except for graduation thesis, papers published in journals are generally not long. To put it bluntly, even if the paper authors want to write long ones, the journal editors will not allow it.
Poor guy, can you afford the publication fee?
Just kidding, haha.
Fortunately, Gao Zhendong earned a lot of foreign exchange by exporting his research results. Although it was not his personal gain, the credit was still there. Otherwise, it would have taken him a lot of effort to deal with the publication fees for his C language paper. In those days, foreign exchange was used in a unified way, and there was not even such a thing as foreign exchange coupons.
The exchange rate between domestic currency and foreign currency is mainly used for accounting purposes and cannot be exchanged. For example, the exchange rate between domestic currency and Hans Cat Mark is 1:1. You would not have thought of that.
In addition to his work on the laser, Gao Zhendong can even spare some time to debug the modem communication program to change his mind.
Regarding the laser issue, Gao Zhendong just wanted to make a quick buck, snatch the title of "No. 1" from the Citigroup boss and run away, it would be exciting!
As for wide application and in-depth research, there are so many big names in the country, so what is there to worry about.
-
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is Wednesday, and Gao Zhendong has finished writing half of his paper.
It is easy to know the facts, but it is much more difficult to know the reasons behind them.
Yu Yuncheng had not yet produced a ruby single crystal that satisfied him, and he was even reluctant to use the "seed crystal", but he still produced some polycrystalline waste.
He showed these polycrystalline waste materials to Gao Zhendong. Gao Zhendong thought for a moment and asked for a few pieces with good color, clarity and size, saying that he wanted to study them.
In fact, it has nothing to do with research. He just wanted to give it to Lou Xiao'e.
Fortunately, he paid for the materials himself, so there were no problems with the procedures.
But forget about processing it. This thing is too hard. He can't process it by himself. If he asks the factory to process it, you want to cut 57 round faces to study the material? This is a joke.
So let the Lou family figure out a solution to the processing problem.
Just as Gao Zhendong was playing with the ruby and debugging the modem program with one hand, a telegram was delivered to him from the factory's communication room.
Gao Zhendong was a little puzzled. Right now, there was nothing going on at the Carbon Research Institute, the Navigation Research Institute, the Grassland Tractor Factory, and the Northeast Aviation Research Institute.
The computing institute did have something to do, but that was training, and it was too early for them to be ready. Besides, the computing institute knew about my phone number, so I could just make a phone call for this kind of thing.
With a hint of doubt, Gao Zhendong opened the telegram.
When I saw the signature, I saw that it was sent by Mr. Xiang from the Institute of Chemistry. It seemed that there was good news about urea.
"Hello, Comrade Gao Zhendong. It's nice to meet you. I am very happy to inform you of a good news. With your help, our research on the industrialized production process of urea has been successful, and the first process demonstration test project with an annual output of 5 tons has been put into trial production. According to the current monitoring data, the special stainless steel you developed is well adapted to the corrosive environment of ammonium carbamate and fully meets the process requirements. Here, on behalf of all those involved in the industrialization of urea, I would like to express my gratitude to the comrades who participated in the NF material trial production project at the Third Steel Rolling Plant and Jingcheng Steel Plant, and thank you for your outstanding contribution to our fertilizer industry. I also wish you to overcome all difficulties in your future work and make greater contributions to our materials industry."
The wording of this telegram is typical of the people of that era, especially the final blessing.
In terms of the size of the telegram, this telegram to the general manager is very long, and should be a good news sent by the organization at the unit level.
The content of the telegram made Gao Zhendong very happy. He didn't know how much change his actions had brought to the industrial production of urea, but what was certain was that it had at least brought good changes.
Gao Zhendong was not too clear about the original progress of domestic industrialized urea production. After all, this thing was not like hybrid rice, which was a little bit off the beaten track. However, in Gao Zhendong's little impression, the time should be much later than this time, and at the beginning, the equipment was imported from the West.
When was it possible to import such large equipment from the West? Just based on this point, Gao Zhendong dared to pat his chest and say: This trip was not in vain.
Not long after, the factory's horn sounded again.
"Good news. Thanks to the efforts of researchers from a chemical research institute, our first demonstration urea industrialization test production line has been put into trial production in a certain place. The annual urea production of the production line reaches 5 tons. Among them, the special steel specially developed for this purpose by the research room of our factory's technical department and Beijing Iron and Steel Plant has withstood the severe test of the strong corrosive environment of the production line, which is a great opportunity for the industrialization of urea."
Sure enough, the Institute of Chemistry sent out a mass announcement of good news, and not only the relevant key personnel received the telegram, but also the relevant units.
Urea is not confidential and not sensitive, so any unit that has anything to do with it will definitely talk a lot about it.
Anything related to food is a happy event in this era.
Not to mention urea, the king of nitrogen fertilizers, known as the "food of food". Any breakthrough would be a happy event. Any unit that receives the news would definitely publicize it. If it can play a certain role in it, it would be even better.
Gao Zhendong could even be certain that at about the same time, the same incident was also being broadcast on the radio at the Beijing Steel Plant.
This news made Gao Zhendong very excited. He lost interest in work for a while. He simply put down what he was doing and walked around the factory.
Along the way, the workers who heard the news all showed joy on their faces. Although they were in the industrial field, urea was ultimately an agricultural matter.
But when it comes to eating, there is no distinction between workers and peasants.
Moreover, people of this generation have a very strong sense of ownership. Everyone who hears this great news feels proud of it, regardless of whether their salary is 30 or 300 yuan.
In their view, this is the progress of the entire country and society, and they are part of it.
"What is urea?" "It seems to be a kind of fertilizer that can greatly increase food production."
"Can it increase food production? That's incredible. Can our factory research lab do such a thing?"
"Didn't you hear on the radio that without the steel produced by our factory's research laboratory, we wouldn't be able to build urea production equipment?"
"Awesome, my factory~~~~~"
"If you ask me, Director Gao is really amazing. The laboratory has produced so many great things under his leadership."
"Is fertilizer really that important? Why should our factory, which has nothing to do with the agricultural sector, announce this good news?"
"Of course. My relatives in the countryside said that they even need urine tickets to buy urine."
"Fuck, let's eat, don't talk about this."
This is not a joke. There was a time when, in some places, urine and other fertilizers had to be purchased with tickets and were very expensive.
This thing is probably one of the most bizarre tickets.
Gao Zhendong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. That was what happened, but didn't this worker think about the fact that they were eating with their lunch boxes each?
The radio was still repeating the good news, replaying it every once in a while. It seemed that this good news would last a whole day in the Third Steel Rolling Mill.
According to Gao Zhendong's words when he visited BBS in his previous life, it was manually pinned to the top.
With a happy mood, Gao Zhendong strolled here and there and ran into Director Yang and Deputy Director Li. The two must have something to discuss together, otherwise it was rare for them to walk together.
When the two saw Gao Zhendong, their smiling faces widened even more.
Director Yang patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder, pointed to the radio that was still repeating the good news, and said with a smile: "Zhendong, well done!"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
He is not too modest. This is something to be proud of.
After Director Yang finished praising Gao Zhendong, Deputy Director Li also said to Gao Zhendong: "Director Zhendong, I told you that the research funds are in your hands, and you are really using them to the best advantage, haha."
What he said is interesting.
Now that you say so, I'll just climb up the pole.
"Then I will have to trouble Deputy Director Li, the God of Wealth, to consider our laboratory more, haha."
Director Yang smiled and said, "Yes, that makes sense. Director Li, the funding plan you told me about last time should also be brought to the meeting. When it comes to work, now that you have an idea, you should implement it as soon as possible. Time is of the essence."
As expected, Deputy Director Li’s words hit the mark here.
After chatting and laughing with the two men, Gao Zhendong said goodbye to them. The two men said to Gao Zhendong solemnly: "Zhendong, keep working hard!"
Gao Zhendong was walking when he ran into Sha Zhu. He was on shift work, so he had to get off work at this time.
Seeing Gao Zhendong, Sha Zhu gave him a thumbs up without saying anything: "Zhendong, you are this!"
Gao Zhendong didn't react: "Ah?"
Sha Zhu smiled and said, "This urea steel you brought them to make is a good thing. Although I don't know much about steel, I am a cook. I know everything about food. These days are tough."
Gao Zhendong suddenly realized that a duck knows first when the river water warms in spring, and as for the issue of eating, Sha Zhu, the chef of the steel rolling mill, should be the one who knows it best.
He smiled and said, "If I can help, I will definitely do my best."
Sha Zhu was still in high spirits. "Today, for this matter, come to my house for dinner. I'll prepare everything, including the wine! This is my way of celebrating your success. For this matter, the people from the institute should be thanked, but you should also thank them. I can't reach them here, but it's okay if I can catch you."
Gao Zhendong did not refuse. He also wanted to celebrate, so he made the decision immediately.
Sha Zhu probably didn't dare to prepare the ingredients because he didn't meet Gao Zhendong before, but this time he finalized the matter and turned around and walked towards the cafeteria.
The canteen director said that anyone who wants to celebrate Gao Zhendong's success can buy ready-made ingredients in the canteen. These days, these things are not so easy to buy, not to mention that it is afternoon now, so you can't buy them even if you have a ticket.
Looking at Sha Zhu walking towards the cafeteria, Gao Zhendong remembered something.
Even the chef who was least worried about "eating" was so happy about this matter, so should I tell Mr. Xiang what I know? Maybe it can help him open up some ideas.
