Chapter 37 What a waste, Xiao Gao is still young

The next day, at around ten o'clock in the morning, Gao Zhendong was sitting in Chief Engineer Chen's office. Chief Engineer Chen was holding a document and looking at it carefully.

He came to ask Lao Chen to look at two plans.

The first is to review Liang Faming's revision of the finalized electrode repeatability test design plan based on his opinions yesterday.

The second is to ask Lao Chen to look at the trial production plan of GH2747 high-temperature alloy. He has never done the latter before, so please ask Lao Chen to check it. If there are no problems, we can go through the three-level review process.

The first one, Old Chen, read it very quickly and signed it quickly, then waited for Gao Zhendong to take it to the laboratory for implementation.

The second one, when Lao Chen saw it for the first time, he exclaimed, "Huh!" and went to the window to look carefully. The light there was better, and he talked to himself as he looked.

"This estimated performance is good, great!"

"Well, the processing of speculation is also easy!"

"Wow, are these the only elements needed? They're not expensive, they're cheap."

"."

After a long while, Lao Chen put the GH2747 plan on the table, tapped it with his fingers, and asked Gao Zhendong a question: "Are you sure? How sure?"

Gao Zhendong raised his right hand and gestured: "Eighty percent."

Old Chen didn't know where Gao Zhendong's confidence came from. He could only attribute it to the self-confidence of a genius. However, he had no doubt about the credibility of Gao Zhendong's words.

After hearing Gao Zhendong's answer, he kept tapping his fingers on the cover of the proposal and thought for a while: "What a waste, let's make it a separate project."

Gao Zhendong: "Waste?"

Lao Chen nodded and patiently taught his apprentice: "Well, this thing is within the scope of our factory's main products. It is so innovative, has such good comprehensive performance, and has such a wide range of uses. It can win awards. It would be a waste to use it as a subsidiary scientific research result of thermocouples."

After taking a sip of tea, Lao Chen added: "If it is really made, the work of the factory's publicity department will not be easy to carry out. Thermocouples can also win awards, but their own status is not as high as this thing."

Gao Zhendong understood that Lao Chen was sorry that this thing, as a subsidiary achievement of the thermocouple, was difficult to handle in terms of award and project application, and would be limited by the thermocouple's own ceiling. He had to admire that the old man was still spicy and considered all aspects more thoroughly than himself: "Then you decide the rules and I will implement them."

Old Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, you should still follow this plan to trial-produce the alloy, but write a separate plan and report it as a separate scientific research project. The trial-produce alloy and the plan should go hand in hand, and don't wait for each other to pull. As for personnel, it is better to have a good staff rather than too many."

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Okay, then how about Fang Yinghong and Liu Rongguo? Their offices are just in front and behind me."

The reason why Gao Zhendong specifically mentioned that the two people's office seats were right in front of and behind him was not that he wanted to emphasize the relationship between the two people and him, but that he saw a little bit of Lao Chen's idea. Lao Chen was obviously very satisfied with his arrangement: "Well, I think you have seen a little bit, so remember, during the trial production process, other things can be handed over to them, but the steps of batching, mixing, and feeding must be done by you personally and alone, and you cannot delegate to anyone else." Lao Chen emphasized the words "personally" and "alone".

Gao Zhendong assured: "I know the discipline and I promise to strictly abide by it!"

Old Chen patted him on the shoulder: "Okay! Then go to work. Remember, from now on, this plan cannot be delegated to anyone else. You sign the three-level review yourself, and let me sign the examination. You don't have to worry about the approval, I will handle it. After all, it's quite interesting that you tinker with this three-level review. No matter whether it's a good thing or a bad thing, you can divide it or throw it away." Old Chen was obviously in a very good mood, and finally he couldn't help but make a joke.

Just as Gao Zhendong was about to leave, Lao Chen stopped him and said, "Wait, you call this alloy 'high temperature alloy'? Don't you have a name for it?"

Gao Zhendong nodded: "Yes, you know, I don't know how to name it, and it's not convenient to put the ingredients directly into the name, so I'll just use it like this for now."

Although he said this, what he was thinking in his heart was: "I knew that the name was left blank just waiting for you."

Old Chen became more interested: "Then let me think about it. The Third Rolling Mill produced its first self-developed product in 3. Let's call it '591Z- High-temperature Alloy'. It has everything we need. Use this name for your new report."

Old Chen was so delighted by this invisible flattery that when Gao Zhendong left his office, the old comrade actually hummed the Peking Opera "Dingjun Mountain".

After coming out of Lao Chen’s office, Gao Zhendong went straight to the laboratory.

First, the signed electrode repeatability test design plan was handed over to Liang Faming, and when the steps reached this step, they could be followed.

Then, Gao Zhendong found Sister Fang and Xiao Liu and asked them to come to him after the electrode trial production was completed and they should take note of it.

However, it would take some time to complete the trial production of positive and negative electrodes of all formulations, and they would not be able to come within a few days. Gao Zhendong took this opportunity to extract the parts of the plan that were not relevant to them, and the rest would be used as the trial production matching materials for GH2747 and 3Z-591 high-temperature alloy, and would be distributed to them in due time.

After everything was arranged, Gao Zhendong asked Liang Fa Ming how the experiment was going. Although it was not yet fully completed, the correct answer to the K type, according to Gao Zhendong's plan, should be the completion of the verification test.

Before Liang Fa Ming answered, Xiao Liu was very excited: "It's almost done, Team Leader Gao. Basically everything is going smoothly. One of the K-type groups has a positive electrode nickel-chromium ratio of 90:10 and a negative electrode nickel-silicon ratio of 97:3. The thermoelectric electromotive force output has reached about 40mV, and the other characteristics are also good."

Liang Faming glanced at Xiao Liu and added, "Yes, Team Leader Gao, this group's thermoelectric output reached about 25mV after cold-end compensation at room temperature of 1000°C and a measured temperature of 40°C."

Liang Faming's words are much better than Xiao Liu's, and he made the relevant test conditions very clear. When it is necessary to be rigorous, it is very problematic to randomly omit relevant conditions like Xiao Liu did.

Xiao Liu probably realized the problem in his words. He touched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly.

Gao Zhendong checked the machining situation with Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu and Master Xiao Li, and found basically no major problems. The scientific research projects were progressing normally and everyone was very enthusiastic about their work.
