Of course, the first thing Chen Nian emphasized was the issue of confidentiality, but in fact, he didn't need to say it. Chen Guo had already used his relationship with Institute 601 to say hello.
All participants are trustworthy. Without his permission, everything that happened in the laboratory today will be limited to the laboratory.
Chen Nian's other conditions are actually very simple, that is, he can use the laboratory equipment at will--of course, within the normal range.
Guo Qi naturally agreed. You know, Chen Nian just spent two hours making a titanium-aluminum beta alloy that they had only heard of but never seen before.
This thing is a good thing.
Although it has been mass-produced abroad for a long time, other domestic laboratories also have records of small amounts of synthesis, which cannot be regarded as 100% innovation.
But whether it is in terms of manufacturing technology or standard procedures, not only NPU but the whole of China is almost blank.
Chen Nian broke this gap, which not only added another successful experience to the resume of the Xiyan Research Institute laboratory, but also created a new possibility for the whole of China.
Must report to superiors as soon as possible!
What is most important these days?
Talent!
So, if he wants to use the equipment, let him use it to his heart's content.
Just use the knowledge in his head in exchange.
"Can you write down the manufacturing process of beta-type titanium-aluminum alloy in written form?"
Guo Qi asked.
"Of course, no problem, I can leave it to you. However, in exchange, I hope you can take the lead in upgrading the materials laboratory of the Western Research Institute."
"This alone is not enough. We need more advanced stress corrosion instruments, X-ray diffractometers, spectrum analyzers, carbon and sulfur analyzers..."
Before Chen Nian finished speaking, Guo Qi's expression became serious.
"Xiao Chen, we all want these things, but the question is... do you know how much these things cost?"
"I know, it's expensive anyway. But don't worry, money will no longer be an issue soon."
Chen Nian answered confidently.
Just kidding, the titanium-aluminum alloy this time is just a test. If the real "new material" can be analyzed later, the results will definitely cause a sensation across the country as soon as they are released.
Will funding still be a problem by then?
Whether it is the country or companies with various needs, they will rush to cooperate with your laboratory and send you money!
"Relying on this beta-type titanium-aluminum alloy? Although this thing is very useful, the problem is... it's not enough."
"I don't want to discourage you. Beta alloy is destined to cause a sensation, but in terms of resources..."
"To put it bluntly, there is a limit to the resource investment we can bring about for each new development. We really can't buy all the things you mentioned with this thing alone..."
Guo Qi said helplessly.
He didn't know how to evaluate the young man in front of him.
Call him smart, of course he is smart.
If you can skillfully master a complex production process, you will most likely create it yourself. At this age, you can already be included in the scope of genius.
But the problem is, he really still doesn't understand the situation a little bit.
Of course, to put it bluntly, it means that we are a bit blindly optimistic when it comes to resources.
Those equipment add up to at least a billion-level purchase. It is really not that easy to achieve just by relying on this "imitation" result.
Looking at Guo Qi's expression, Chen Nian also realized that he had gone astray.
Titanium-aluminum alloy is very useful and a big breakthrough, but the things I listed are really not cheap in this era...
I am still making purchase lists based on prices 20 years from now.
Thinking of this, he smiled sheepishly and said:
"I understand, so if this is the case, we will have to produce more new materials in the future and exchange technology for money. Is this reasonable?"
"...reasonable, but the question is, where do we go to get new materials?"
"I come."
"You come??"
Guo Qi was shocked.
"How did you get here? You mean you know how to make other new materials? Who gave them to you?"
Chen Nian smiled. This Guo Qi's reaction was exactly the same as Chen Guo's back then. He felt like he had already seen the scene now...
"No one gave it to me, but I just wanted to try."
"Professor Guo, don't worry. I'm not saying that I will advance your funds for research and development. On the contrary, I will use the existing equipment to produce one or two new results first, and then use these results to exchange funds."
"Anyway, just play the role of coordinator, okay?"
Guo Qi frowned. In his opinion, this was too much to say.
But looking at the other party's expression, he felt that maybe the other party was not joking.
He might actually have something on his hands.
After all, Ti-6Al--4V is in his hands, this is definitely no joke!
He has accomplished something that no materials science researcher in the country has accomplished. Isn’t this credible enough?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Guo Qi hesitated and answered:
"Okay, I'll do as you say!"
He has thought clearly that this plan will be beneficial to himself, the laboratory, and even the country.
The other party doesn’t even want any funds, they just want to use the equipment!
What do you have to lose?
If it's done, then it's a fruit for nothing.
If it fails, it will only take up some equipment usage time for other projects.
Anyway, there hasn’t been much progress in those projects throughout the year, so what are you afraid of?
In contrast, Chen Nian, who was highly recommended by Chen Guo and gave him a huge surprise when they met for the first time, was more reliable!
"Thank you very much. By the way, I will talk to Professor Chen about this matter - he should talk to you about the specific situation."
Chen Nian couldn't continue to reveal more to Guo Qi. He didn't know how Chen Guo chatted with Guo Qi, so for confidentiality reasons, he had better not say anything randomly.
"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely convince him."
Guo Qi completely misunderstood what Chen Nian meant. He thought Chen Nian was worried about Chen Guo not letting him go...
.......
In any case, Chen Nian finally reached an agreement with Guo Qi, opening up a new and extremely critical direction in his future plans.
After that, with the blessing of the laboratory, he can develop his second major with peace of mind and quickly accumulate source points through the study of materials science.
Thinking of this, he clicked on the system interface, and then he was surprised to find that the number of his source points actually increased from 0.07 to 0.12.
A successful experiment actually brought 0.05 source points?
This is so cool!
However, Chen Nian didn't get excited for long before he came back to his senses.
Yes, the increase in the number of source points this time is because he has deepened his understanding of knowledge during practice, which is essentially a learning behavior.
But the main reason why it went so smoothly was because I had the foundation.
And if it is a brand-new technological invention or a brand-new material, the process of switching from technology to application will not be that simple.
For example, now, it only took him more than two hours to prepare titanium-aluminum alloy. However, if it is aerogel, graphene and other things, he does not have any understanding of it, and the equipment is not complete. It may cost a lot of money to make it. It's not two hours, but two weeks, or even two months.
So, generally speaking, this is an effective way to source growth, but it is not a route that can be opportunistic.
After thinking about this clearly, Chen Nian not only was not disappointed, but felt more at ease.
After all, this discovery makes the logic of the system clearer and makes the feedback chain stronger.
As long as you explore, you will be rewarded.
Is there a stronger system than this?
There should be no more.
Chen Nian closed the system interface with satisfaction, and just at this moment, his cell phone rang.
The caller was Chen Guo, and his voice was a little anxious.
"Xiao Chen, is it convenient for you to talk now? If it's not convenient, immediately find a quiet place and turn on your phone."
"The person sitting next to me now is the chairman of AVIC Group One. He has a few questions to ask you..."
