Chapter 294 One Year at a Time

For the leaders of the Defense Working Committee, the original idea was relatively simple: to continue working after Labor Day, and the goal was to use Gao Zhendong's method that could estimate the system life of equipment under low data quality conditions.

So on the first day of the holiday, I called Gao Zhendong.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise. Gao Zhendong actually had not only the grey system theory, but a whole set of methods. He had to put it into practice right away.

Gao Zhendong gave a systematic talk on equipment accelerated test evaluation.

When the leaders of the Defense Work Committee heard that this not only involved an assessment of the system life, but also a method to significantly shorten the time-consuming equipment life and defect testing time, they became even more interested.

He stared at Gao Zhendong: "Comrade Gao Zhendong, is the system you mentioned already formed? Or does it need some time to refine and integrate?"

This thing is extremely important to his Defense Work Committee. It can basically greatly compress the time of many tasks. Time is money, and it is more than just money.

He also knew that not everything in this system would be new. It must be based on previous theories, algorithms, and methods, and would include new uses of old knowledge as well as new thinking and development.

Maybe this thing is still in Gao Zhendong's mind, but it has not been fully born and still requires some thinking and refining.

So what he wanted to know was to what extent this matter had reached Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong saw his eagerness and realized the importance of what he accidentally revealed to the industry. He couldn't help but ask, "Leader, don't our equipment have methods and theories for accelerated testing?"

The leader had already asked someone to check this matter beforehand, but after the check was completed, Gao Zhendong was the only one who communicated with him. The reason is self-evident.

He nodded. "Yes, there are some empirical methods and local methods for some specific equipment, but they are not systematic. There is no forward-looking guidance for new equipment. This also leads to repeated delays in equipment testing, which takes a long time and brings great trouble to our equipment research and design."

If we honestly conduct tests according to the expected parameters and lifespan, it will take a very long time. Under the design parameters, the lifespan of the equipment is generally quite long, because these parameters are originally set for long-term operation. Then, by the time problems are discovered, the design is modified, and the test is conducted again, and problems are discovered again, after several cycles, the equipment is already outdated after being finalized, not to mention the formal service and use later.

After hearing what his leader said, Gao Zhendong realized that there was no way he could escape this situation, but he was not afraid. The book could be found, it just would take some time, and he needed to accumulate the number of random checks to ensure that after finding the book, he would have at least 5 remaining draws.

Gao Zhendong said, "Leader, this set of equipment was originally used by me, so it certainly cannot cover all aspects of equipment acceleration testing. It mainly focuses on temperature, pressure, mechanics, vibration, aging, and system evaluation. Do you think it is suitable?"

When the leader of the Defense Work Committee heard this, he was delighted: "Of course it's appropriate. These are also the aspects in which our equipment performance requirements are most concentrated. Besides, if there is anything missing, I can ask the institutes under the Defense Work Committee to refer to your theory and study and fill it on their own. If they can't even eat the food they've been fed, then they shouldn't do it anymore, haha."

For the Defense Working Committee, these aspects, which means most of the equipment, need to be tested. It can be said that these things have basically solved more than 80% of the problems. As for the remaining special things, they need to be solved by the comrades of the Defense Working Committee themselves. They cannot rely on Gao Zhendong for everything, which would be a joke.

After hearing what his leader said, Gao Zhendong said, "That's not a big problem. Although it hasn't been formally published, this system has taken shape in my mind and is relatively complete. I have also accumulated a lot of information and materials in my work. Now I just need some time to refine and organize them."

The leaders of the Defense Work Committee were overjoyed when they heard this. If Gao Zhendong said it was done, then it must be done. In this regard, not only the Defense Work Committee, but everyone who knew Gao Zhendong had absolute trust in his credibility.

The leader stood up, put his hands on the table, and looked at Gao Zhendong: "In this case, Comrade Gao Zhendong, I formally entrust you in the name of the Defense Working Committee to write up the results of the 'Equipment Accelerated Test Evaluation' you mentioned. Is there any problem? In terms of time, I know you have a lot of work to do, and I can't ask too much. The limit is one year. This matter, I have to ask you, Comrade Gao Zhendong! I don't ask you to teach our scientific researchers personally, but at least ask you to give them the opportunity and goal of self-study."

The first half of the sentence is still asking "Is there any problem", but the second half becomes "Please". This ability of climbing up the pole on one's own is first-class.

He also knew that this request was actually a bit excessive, and it was like putting another camel's burden on Gao Zhendong's shoulders. However, he could not help being soft-hearted. The environment was already surrounded by wolves, and now the wolves had not left, and there were vague signs of bears and elephants coming, so the pressure was increasing.

If it weren't for the founding war in which this young man also participated and fought with his flesh and blood, making all enemies afraid of us and dare not act rashly, the situation would probably be even more serious.

What we lack is time, and Comrade Gao Zhendong's achievement just snatches up time!!
The leader of the Defense Work Committee spoke in a serious tone and with a sincere look. There was no command in his tone, but there was expectation.

One year is not enough to write a monograph on theory, system and practice that no one knows how to write and no one can help with, especially since Gao Zhendong has a lot of work to do.

But as luck would have it, Gao Zhendong was not normal, he was a cheater. When the leader stood up, Gao Zhendong also stood up. After listening to the leader's request, he stood at attention and raised his head: "I guarantee to complete the task!"

The reason why all the leaders favor Gao Zhendong, in addition to his own abilities, is also because of his courage, bravery and willingness to take on responsibilities.

Before making the request, the leader of the Defense Work Committee was certain that Gao Zhendong would not refuse. The only possible discount was the issue of time. After all, this was not something that could be achieved just by patting one's chest.

But unexpectedly, Gao Zhendong did not even compromise on time and accepted the task directly. It seems that there will be gains within a year. Gao Zhendong's promises have only been fulfilled ahead of schedule, not postponed.

The leader stretched out his hands and shook Gao Zhendong's hands: "Thank you, Comrade Gao Zhendong!"

He did not call him "Zhendong", but instead said "Comrade Gao Zhendong" very solemnly, which was also a kind of affirmation under this special circumstance.

The two sat down again, and Gao Zhendong put forward his further ideas: "Leader, in fact, in this system, the acceleration theories and methods of different parameters are relatively independent. I can split them up after the general introduction and write them one by one. Comrades can use whichever part comes out first. This way, it will save more time."

The leader was very happy to see him get to work so quickly. He handed the matter over to Comrade Zhendong so that he could save himself some trouble. He nodded and said, "Well, that's a good idea. I thank you on behalf of the comrades. It's a pity that you won't get any royalties for this stuff, hahaha."

He was in a very good mood and even made a joke with Gao Zhendong. He knew that Gao Zhendong earned a lot of money by writing books, and not long ago he donated a large sum of money to his old comrades through him. And the things tested and evaluated in this equipment will undoubtedly not be made public in the short term, so naturally there is no talk of royalties.

Gao Zhendong chuckled: "Hehe, it doesn't matter. Leader, you know that I have a subsidy from Citigroup."

Gao Zhendong believed that the leaders of the Defense Work Committee were definitely aware of this matter.

The leader also remembered that Gao Zhendong had just received 3 yuan in royalties from Citibank. All matters of this nature involving Gao Zhendong had to be reviewed by him. He laughed, "Haha, right against right. If your enemy subsidizes you, we will feel more at ease."

After saying this, the leader remembered another thing he had arranged not long ago, and he should inform Gao Zhendong first: "By the way, Zhendong, it's almost time for you to graduate from university. The committee has added a few positions specifically for you. It's tentatively three. If it's not enough, just tell me directly. When the time comes, you can directly decide what major and what kind of person you need, and the committee will arrange it and then go to your place to help you. Let your factory director rest assured, your factory doesn't need to pay, haha."

Gao Zhendong then learned that the Defense Work Committee had made this arrangement. Together with the fellow students and research staff he was going to ask for from his alma mater, he had finally put together a team.

He quickly thanked his leader for his concern and said that he would plan what kind of people were needed when he returned.

After everything was agreed upon, Gao Zhendong hurriedly said goodbye to his leader. There was still half a day left today, so he could still get a lot of things done.

After watching Gao Zhendong leave, the leader of the Defense Work Committee made a phone call and called someone over.

"Keep a closer eye on Comrade Gao Zhendong."

"Raise the level again? There aren't many people like this in the technical field, only about a hundred or so."

"He's the type that only has a few hundred, haha."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Leader, if you really value him, why not transfer him to the committee?"

The leader smiled and said, "If something is developing in a good direction, don't change it easily, including its environmental factors."

The leader has clearly understood the principle of Occam's razor.

But his idea is not wrong. If it is not necessary, do not add entities. It is just like some unsuccessful writers who dare not change the title of their books easily even though the titles have been complained by readers countless times.
