Chapter 384 Scientific research positioning and crew chores

Wang Xu had talked with Director Jiang about this matter. Although it had little to do with his job, he still talked with him.

Wang Xu now completely regarded Director Jiang as a trash can. If there was anything he didn't like, he would turn around and run to Director Jiang to chat for a while, complaining and giving suggestions.

He didn't even need to type up the report. If someone above thought the suggestion was good, a secretary would naturally write it down and Wang Xu would sign it.

When he was still a student, Wang Xu deliberately hid it. Now that I have the system, I have it as a professor, and I can expect to be an academician in the future. He can be said to have let himself go, chatting with Director Jiang about everything.

I don’t know anything else, but Director Jiang can change his laptop very quickly.

Director Jiang has the habit of taking notes. It seems that most government workers nowadays have this habit. He always carries two notebooks with him, one to record his daily work, and the other to record Wang Xu's various complaints and complaints, or to record Wang Xu's whims and whims.

Wang Xu's plan is not water without a source or a tree without roots, nor is it decided by patting his head on his head. He has sufficient confidence, and the confidence comes from the almost continuous flow of various new technologies produced in the Shuimu patent pool. technology.

The technology pool has a diffusion effect, starting with the Department of Automation and Materials, and then the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, etc., and later the Department of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, and even the Department of Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Water Conservancy. Come in.

On the basis of various existing projects of Wang Xu, there are various branches and leaves, and there are many more, which have almost nothing to do with the existing projects.

However, when it is possible to apply for funds, the ideas of scientific researchers can be more novel than that of novel authors. If there are dates but there are no dates, it is not only the masters of making rice dumplings who can do it.

For example, projects for new cement, new hollow fireproof bricks, various new steel materials, ceramic materials, various artificial stones, polyester materials, and foam materials have all been approved.

Many of them were approved by Wang Xu, and of course some were recommended to relevant companies for investment. Wang Xu could not do everything by himself. Director Jiang did these tasks for him.

Many people who probably know some directions in the future, or have popular science videos on a certain website, and Wang Xu has also given research and development opinions, then they are almost certain to succeed.

Many of them are low-cost, long-lasting, non-toxic and harmless, and suitable for large-scale promotion.

Apart from anything else, if new large-size ceramic tiles can be successfully developed, they can solve the decoration problems of countless buildings.

These are not the cheap white ceramic tiles of the 1990s, but the large-sized floor and wall tiles that look like marble. Wang Xu’s house is paved with these. For a house of about two hundred square meters, the floor tiles alone cost a lot of money. Hundreds of thousands, more than two thousand tiles per square meter, can you believe it?

But it happened to be true. Wang Xu felt distressed for a long time after knowing it. At that time, he was not as rich as he is now, and Wang Fei had to donate money to complete the decoration. She pretended not to know, and she was surprised when she moved in. , this girl is really annoying.

If Wang Xu had known that it was so expensive, he would not have wanted this thing. He was used to seeing large ceramic tiles worth two hundred yuan per square meter in later generations, and he always felt that it was not much money, so he designed it when his head was hot.

The reason why it is so expensive is actually very simple. Nowadays, almost all of this stuff is imported, and no domestic factory can produce it. So you have to endure it to make money.

Of course, these projects go from project establishment to R\u0026D, to design solutions, to experimental verification, to small-batch verification, and finally to completion, and then to commercial mass production, and finally to production at a cabbage price. The journey is sincere. It’s quite a long time, maybe even ten years.

But there has to be a start, isn't it? If we start now, we can catch up with the climax of China's construction in ten years. Isn't it just right? The future is promising.

Among them, the two projects that Wang Xu is looking forward to the most do not seem to have anything to do with architecture, and even now they feel like they are only used in laboratories.

But Wang Xu has a feeling that these things are probably one of the best building materials. These materials are nanomaterials and aerogels.

In fact, many aerogels themselves are also nanomaterials. The two fields are separate, but they seem to be strongly related, because aerogels are also nanoscale on a microscopic scale to a certain extent.

Therefore, Wang Xu simply merged a large research project here, gave an initial funding, roughly described some possible ways of nanomaterials, and then threw it to Professor Jin.

Nanomaterials are the best substitute for architectural coatings. Not to mention other things, the characteristics of being hydrophobic, non-staining, and non-mold-producing are enough to reduce the maintenance cost of buildings by several orders of magnitude. Well, especially in the south. There is probably no family that has not been troubled by mildew.

Airgel is probably the best thermal insulation material at present. As the insulation layer of a house, it is truly environmentally friendly and lightweight, and may even lead to major changes in the structural design theory of buildings.

Therefore, Wang Xu also gave a project to the Department of Architecture, which is to study how the building should be designed in the presence of some hypothetical materials. Whether it is possible to build a 30-story building in ten days, and it must withstand at least eight magnitude earthquake.

Of course, these assumptions also have a certain basis of assumptions, and they must not be imagined out of thin air. The basis of their parameters comes from other scientific research projects.

This is to lay out the overall design of the future in advance. In addition to writing papers, it can also play a certain role in inspiring future industrial development. It also expands domestic demand and stimulates the economy. It may not be a simple expansion of investment and crazy piles of steel bars. Cement.

In China thirty years later in the previous life, buildings relied on steel and concrete. Wang Xu believed that even in this life, he would not escape this framework. After all, it was a mature and reliable solution that had been proven for a hundred years.

But Wang Xu also hopes that at least something different will appear in this life. The world is diverse, and technology needs new concepts to supplement it, let alone houses.

There are so many types of aerogels and nanomaterials that Wang Xu cannot explain clearly even after hearing popular science in his previous life. At least both inorganic and organic substances may form aerogels, but the effects of various aerogels are different. Are not the same.

Some are extremely brittle, some are extremely soft, and their properties vary widely. The only common part is that the structures are all supported by nanoscale fibers, with holes in the middle.

There are even more nanomaterials, including nanospheres, nanotubes, nanopowders, and nanometals, to name a few. Even in the post-epidemic era, nanomaterials are still mainly in laboratories.

There are so many things that I don’t even know what they are used for and how to use them, but this is not a problem. For Wang Xu, scientific reserves can never be too much.

Of course, it may take decades for the results of these things to really come into our lives. For a long time, they will be just laboratory products. At most, we will spend huge sums of money to build one or two models for everyone to see.

But so what, isn't that what high-end cupping is for? Buying a car or a watch may not be as valuable as a brick as light as a feather in Wang Xu's eyes.

Industry is a holistic thing. At least in the 1990s, the crown jewel, well, let alone the jewel, the crown was still on someone else's head.

Wang Xu knew that it was impossible for him to have a disruptive impact on this process, but he could prepare more adequate reserves for when conditions were ripe. This reserve was the foundation for a soaring future.

Shuimu's positioning is originally to conduct basic research on technology, and should not expend too much energy on applied research.

However, a lack of talent and a shortage of funds made it impossible for such an ideal to become a reality, at least in the 1990s.

Wang Xu still wants to steer the research direction in this direction and let Shuimu and Dida return to their proper positions.

As for applied research, it’s not that it’s unimportant, but that there are far more domestic universities and research institutions that are in need of support than just the two universities at Mizuki University. Some projects should be allocated appropriately to allow all universities to develop together. This is a good strategy that benefits the country and the people.

Iron man Wang Jinxi said that if there are conditions, you have to go up, and if you don't have conditions, you have to create conditions. Now Wang Xu is trying to create this condition.

Trying to carry out some basic research and produce some less important but breakthrough results is a success, at least in Wang Xu's view.

These basic researches are very expensive, and even with Wang Xu’s existing financial resources, it is impossible to fully support them.

His only purpose now is to cultivate talents, use less funds to complete smaller projects, create small breakthroughs, and let the scientists involved develop inner self-confidence.

Confidence is actually the most fundamental quality of a scientist, even if you fail ten thousand times. He will still firmly believe that his path is correct. In other words, most scientists have a bit of an axis in character.

If you deal with many academics in science and engineering, you will find that sometimes it is very difficult for them to communicate because they always trust their own judgment. Instead of following other people's advice.

As a result, a particularly strange phenomenon has arisen, that is, among the victims of various fraud activities, highly educated people in science and engineering usually only account for a very small number, but they are often among the people who have been defrauded of particularly huge amounts.

Because once they believe it, they really believe it, and they dare to throw real money and silver into it.

Sometimes the world is so wonderful, whether it's a god or a ghost, sometimes it's just a thought.

The boundaries of science are very large, and the boundaries of technology are even wider. Wang Xu picks and chooses on the seaside, and there are gold mines everywhere. This is the greatest wealth of the reborn person. Even though he does not understand many things, he knows that this road is feasible, so Remarkable.

For example, there has been good news about the "detonation engine" recently. Well, there is good news in just two months. With the drawings, speed is inevitable. If it were not for the fact that the materials were not very good, the engine would appear after running for dozens of seconds. Cracks may directly be considered a success of the experiment.

But even so, it was enough to verify the feasibility of this design. Then Director Jiang brought a message and planned to hold a seminar that would involve several major digital institutes. Wang Xu was also invited to attend related to aerospace. speak.

Although he keeps saying that this thing is a model aircraft, everyone wants to know which model aircraft uses a "detonation engine".

Wang Xu agreed, and the meeting will be held after the new year. After this meeting, he is expected to officially start filming the movie. Years ago, everyone herded sheep and went home, and the people from Chou Country also had a long vacation. They traveled around the country by plane.

Wang Xu naturally didn't care. They were employees of New Line and came to cooperate with the preliminary work. Before the crew started, their wages were paid by New Line. Only when the crew officially started operations would the crew and New Line settle the accounts.

The production crew is so troublesome. The operation of a production crew is actually much more complicated than that of an ordinary company. Human resources, finance, legal affairs, logistics, and ordinary companies really do not have such complete configurations.

Although Wang Xu has a lot of skills, this is the first time for him to actually operate. It is inevitable that he has a high vision and a low hand. Thanks to Robert Shaye this time, he can straighten out all the relationships neatly and quickly in a short time. Once he's on the right track, I have to say that his ability is really not guaranteed.

Robert Shaye has returned to Ugly Country. After returning, he will discuss with the science fiction publishing house to cooperate in publicity. Movie promotion always starts with planning, which is not a simple matter.

Wang Jinghua directly arranged for Zhang Dajun to follow Robert. Well, in fact, he was going to steal a lesson, and he also had to observe closely how to promote the film.

Let's put it this way, the people in Xiangjiang don't know how to promote a real commercial blockbuster. After Golden Harvest lost money on several films in a row, it slowly gained a foothold. It's not just a question of whether the film is suitable for taste.

The bigger reason is actually caused by all-round backwardness. Xiangjiang's publicity is very routine. In a small place, it can be known to everyone at a few costs.

Big stars, big casts, this is what Xiangjiang says, but in fact if you observe Hollywood movie promotions, you will find that the importance of star casts in most movies really only accounts for a small part. For big productions, In other words, it is almost negligible.

Only a handful of top stars may have real box-office appeal, but even then, many flop.

Therefore, piling up celebrities is okay in small places, but in a big market, it will not only have no effect, but may even be counterproductive.

For example, you might make a movie with a star because of the star's appeal, but would you still do the same with a bunch of stars? If there was an actor you particularly disliked, would you simply stop watching the movie because of that?

This is the qualitative difference between a small market and a large market. The choices in a large market are destined to be diversified and cannot be controlled by one or two stars. It is feasible to use a big star to attract some fans to watch movies.

But relying on a bunch of stars to generate box office revenue is purely an extravagant hope. Of course, it is still possible to make a fortune by packing up has-been stars to play with their emotions. For example, the later "Suicide Squad" was a gold-mining movie for a group of old men.

In short, Xiangjiang's workshop-style approach is really difficult to succeed in Hollywood. Wang Xu did not abandon the near and seek the distant, and directly sent his men to follow Robert Shaye to steal the army.

Robert Shaye actually admitted it, which is quite incredible. It was not because of Zhang Dajun, but to maintain the relationship with Wang Xu.

He is a producer and a very shrewd businessman. Through his observation, although he does not necessarily understand the whole situation, he has a clear understanding that getting a good relationship with this person will be of great benefit to the future.
