Genius of the Rules-Style System

"Metal Materials Laboratory?"

"Without the word 'composite', is it different? But there is no metal materials laboratory!"

Zhang Hongtao knew that the 'Metal Materials Laboratory' must have been 'made up' by Zhao Yi, or even if it existed, it was a small internal laboratory of Yanhua University, but he was still unwilling to check it out, and found that there was no such place at all. , even the Materials Science and Engineering major at Yanhua University is a newly established major. There is only one associate professor in the related field, who was newly hired last year and has not taught students yet.

So it is certain that the Metal Materials Laboratory of Yanhua University does not exist at all.

"There are a lot of leather bag companies out there, and this is the first time I've heard of the leather bag laboratory!"

"This leather bag laboratory is so arrogant that it even wants to apply for a big project worth over RMB 10 million!"

"what should I do?"

Zhang Hongtao initially made up his mind to work with Zhao Yi. He thought that Zhao Yi would contact the Wucheng Turbine Group and let the Wucheng Turbine Group cooperate with the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, so that they could both participate. In the project, we work together to conduct research and development.

But Zhao Yi didn't want to use the name Wucheng Turbine Group, so he made up a laboratory 'nearby'?

This is too...

Zhang Hongtao doesn’t know how to describe it well. He feels that the fraud for funding has no technical content because the laboratory does not exist at all.

If you submit a report like this to apply for a project, it will probably be considered as teasing the superior department, right? Not to mention whether it was approved or not, it’s already good enough not to be held accountable.

Zhang Hongtao took a deep breath, considered it carefully for a long time, and decided to apply. After all, it was a collaboration with Zhao Yi. When he was held accountable, he would tell the truth.

Just say...

"I believe in Zhao Yi!"

"I especially believe in Zhao Yi, so I decided to work together! We are not working with the laboratory, but with Zhao Yi himself!"

"The superiors can understand it, right?"

…

Yanhua University.

In the laboratory building of the School of Mechanical Engineering, two rooms on the top floor are allocated to Shen Binghe, associate professor of materials science. He is a specially hired Ph.D. in materials science. However, because the school's material science major has just started, he is the only materials science expert, so he is only assigned We bought two rooms and promised to equip them with professional laboratories in the future.

Shen Binghe didn't quite believe in the school's promise, because his weight was not enough for the school to equip him with a professional laboratory.

However, he decided to stay at Yanhua University because the school offered him a very good salary. He was directly promoted to the associate professor level, allowing him to monopolize the major of materials science and engineering.

Shen Binghe's request was just to improve the equipment as much as possible and apply for a marginal operation room, which would be enough to support graduate students in the second half of the year. He himself applied for a few small projects for scientific research.

Zhao Yi's arrival was unexpected.

What Zhao Yi did and what he asked for surprised him even more.

Shen Binghe was sitting in the office, writing something with his head down, and looking out along the door. He saw a red banner that had just been printed on the wall of the corridor opposite the door, with the words "Seven" written in big yellow characters on it. One word, "Metal Materials Laboratory".

He raised his head with some confusion and asked Zhao Yi, "Academician Zhao, is our school going to build a materials laboratory?"

This is really unexpected.

Before Zhao Yi could answer, he continued to ask, "Shouldn't we build the laboratory first and then apply for the project?"

The reason Shen Binghe asked this was because he was discussing with Zhao Yi the issue of writing an application project report in the name of the laboratory.

Zhao Yi said nonchalantly, "You can also apply for a project first. We will become famous immediately. Once we complete a project, we will definitely get more support if we build a laboratory again."

"……Right!"

Shen Binghe thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. After the project results were obtained, the school would definitely be more supportive, but he immediately became confused, "How can I apply if I don't even have a laboratory?"

"I'll take care of this, so you don't have to worry. If it succeeds, it's a success. If it fails, we won't lose anyway, right?"

Zhao Yi said nonchalantly.

"Right!"

Anyway, everything was arranged by Zhao Yi, so Shen Binghe stopped thinking and started asking about the project, "What project are we going to do?"

"Turbine Blade Materials."

"Turbine blades?!"

Shen Binghe suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, "Academician Zhao, are you kidding?" He also knew something about turbine blades, or as long as he had studied alloys, he knew almost everything.

"I'm serious."

Zhao Yi emphasized expressionlessly.

Shen Binghe took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Then how can we apply for such a big project without even a laboratory?" He paused and added, "I feel like this kind of project, even if it is a national key laboratory. It’s difficult to apply, and we don’t have an environment for R\u0026D!”

Zhao Yi said, "We are not doing research and development ourselves. We have already found a partner, which is the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory of the University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Do you know Zhang Hongtao? I cooperate with him."

Shen Binghe shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, but I know that the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory is a national priority and is very powerful."

Zhang Hongtao is well-known in the metal alloy circle, but it is the top circle and has only become famous in the past two years. Shen Binghe is just an associate professor of ordinary materials science. He has not graduated with a doctorate for five years and does not know some confidential information.

"Anyway, just write as normal. Just write that you are the person in charge of the Metal Materials Laboratory, and the main scientific researcher to apply for is me."

"……good."

Shen Binghe shook his head. He felt that he shouldn't think so much. It was Zhao Yi's request anyway. With Zhao Yi in charge, there would be no big problem. He continued to ask, "How much R\u0026D funding should we apply for?"

Zhao Yi thought for a while and gestured with two fingers, "Twenty million first!"

Shen Binghe's hands trembled when he heard this, "Twenty...twenty million, isn't it too much? Is this considered scientific research fraud?"

"Scientific research fraud, what are you talking about!" Zhao Yi said with some dissatisfaction, "We are doing formal research. You must know that it is a turbine blade. Zhang Hongtao and I have discussed that rhenium must be among the required materials. "

"You research materials, rhenium, you know? The price is about the same as platinum and gold. If you use gold to do research, don't you apply for more funds, can you afford it? One kilogram costs hundreds of thousands!"

"……All right!"

Shen Binghe almost had the urge to cry, so he typed up the report, not far from the iron gate and window.

…

Despite Zhao Yi's urging, Shen Binghe still completed the application report. The only good thing was that the research and development ideas provided by Zhao Yi in the report still sounded valuable.

The laboratory's formal application project report requires writing out R\u0026D ideas, which can be understood as a 'project introduction', that is, writing out the general R\u0026D ideas.

Zhao Yi has already thought about it.

Everyone in the turbine blade industry is talking about DD5 and DD6, and they all believe that the research and development direction is single crystal nickel alloy. However, it is too troublesome to do research and development based on DD5 and DD6. First, you have to apply for the use of relevant results, and you will have to work with the Institute of Metals of the Academy of Sciences and the Capital. The Aeronautical Materials Research Institute is involved.

In addition, both DD5 and DD6 are semi-finished products that are half-developed, and they have no experience in developing semi-finished products. It is better to start from scratch with semi-finished products.

So the direction Zhao Yi decided on was nickel-iron alloy.

The advantage of nickel-iron alloy is that there are already disassembled sample products as a basis.

The finished product is already ready for use in turbines, they just need to improve on it.

The research and development idea that Zhao Yi is considering is to improve the nickel-iron alloy and add rare metal elements such as rhenium to see if it can be further strengthened to enhance high temperature resistance and strength.

soon.

Two project application reports were typed up.

Zhao Yi is one of the top scholars in the world and has made many scientific research contributions to the country. Top scientific researchers will definitely be given special attention. Every time he applies for a project, he will be known to the leadership of the Science and Technology Department, and he will also There is a dedicated top-level leader responsible for the approval process.

So Zhao Yi's application report first went to the Science and Technology Department.

Zhang Hongtao’s application report went to the aviation project team, and the research and development application for turbine blades also had to go through the aviation project team.

Similar project applications must first be approved by the Aviation Project Team, and then reported to the Science and Technology Department for final approval. The Aviation Project Team is an auxiliary application unit, and relevant research is beneficial to them, while the Science and Technology Department is the final approving department.

There is a saying that goes, "The rich man is the uncle."

If a project does not require scientific research funds, or if you spend your own money on research and development, as long as it does not involve confidentiality, harm, etc., the Science and Technology Department will naturally not be able to control it, and it does not matter whether it is approved or not.

The aviation project team received Zhang Hongtao's application. Because the project involved was very important, the report was handed over to Liu Jiankun, general manager of the aviation group.

Liu Jiankun glanced at the project report a few times, looked at the application content and the names of the R\u0026D personnel, and thought with some surprise, "Zhang Hongtao, isn't this guy drifting off? While he is doing research on deck steel, he also wants to make turbine blades?"

"Even if it is a metal composite material laboratory, it is not qualified for this kind of project, right? Does he think that he alone is enough? Is he better than the Institute of Metal Research of the Academy of Sciences?"

Liu Jiankun found it a bit funny and threw the report into the trash can without continuing to read.

the other side.

The Science and Technology Department received Zhao Yi's application report. The report skipped the reporting department and was handed over to the higher-level leadership.

The report was originally made by the leadership team below. Later, because the "Metal Materials Laboratory" in the report was very "peculiar," they checked that there was no such laboratory at all, and the person in charge of the laboratory, Shen Binghe, was just an ordinary Ph.D. in materials science. , the group held a discussion meeting and felt that they might be 'cheating project funds'.

"Academician Zhao defrauded project funds? Impossible, right? What name did he use to get 20 million?"

"Have you called and asked? Is it indeed Academician Zhao?"

"It's Academician Zhao. He confirmed it himself. He submitted it himself, otherwise it would not have been possible for him to get to us quickly."

"But there is no metal materials laboratory at all!"

"Academician Zhao said that he applied in the name of a small laboratory in the school. In fact, he cooperated with Shuanghang's Metal Composite Materials Laboratory for research and development, and the other one was Zhang Hongtao."

"That's it..."

The group meeting discussed it for a long time. Later, Liu Zecheng, deputy director of the Science and Technology Department, learned the news and asked directly, "Should this project belong to the aviation group? Have you asked the aviation group?"

This sentence woke everyone up.

The turbine blade project is very important, and the 20 million yuan applied for is not a small amount. If anyone else had applied, it would have been rejected directly, but Zhao Yike was different. They still had to consider it.

Since you can't decide directly, you should also ask the relevant aviation project team.

In fact, the application report should normally enter the aviation project team first. After approval by the aviation project team with comments, it will be handed over to the Science and Technology Department.

This is the normal process.

soon.

Zhao Yi's application report was sent to the aviation project team. Because it was a report sent by the Science and Technology Department, it was directly sent to Liu Jiankun.

This time Liu Jiankun's attitude was completely different.

"What? Zhao Yi's report? Sent by the Science and Technology Department? Want to know our opinions..."

"Turbine blades? Are you kidding me?"

"Let me take a closer look!"

Liu Jiankun took the report and read it carefully from beginning to end. He even ignored whether there were problems in the metal materials laboratory, but carefully looked at Zhao Yi's research and development ideas.

Finally, Liu Jiankun noticed that the partner in the application report was the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

"Metal Composites Laboratory?"

"Isn't that aerospace...Zhang Hongtao! Yes! He called over a report and mentioned turbine blades!"

"It turns out he is cooperating with Zhao Yi, why not write it at the top!"

Liu Jiankun complained very dissatisfiedly, and quickly asked someone to contact Zhang Hongtao and asked him to submit another report, and then he was directly preparing to write the accompanying opinions for agreeing to the project application.

The reason he agreed was simple.

One is the research and development of turbine blades, which is beneficial to the aviation team. Even if the research cannot produce anything, the funds will be allocated by the Science and Technology Department.

In addition, Zhao Yi’s participation is also unusual. It means that Zhao Yi concentrates on turbine material research.

This must be supported!

In addition, the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory is a national key laboratory, and Zhang Hongtao also has a certain level of ability.

Taking several reasons into consideration, there is no reason to refuse at all.

…

When Zhang Hongtao was typing up the report and was feeling uneasy, he received a message from the aviation team asking him to type up another report.

"Why?"

"Want to order another one?"

He was a little confused and sent another one, and soon received news that his report had been sent to the Science and Technology Department for review.

"Passed?"

Zhang Hongtao felt incredible. He originally thought that the aviation team would not be able to pass this test.

A few days later, something even more incredible happened.

The Materials Department of the Science and Technology Department approved the report and approved the turbine blade research and development project of the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory. At the same time, the funding amount in the report was explained and allocated.

"Passed?"

"This is too fake!"

Zhang Hongtao felt that his outlook on life had been subverted. The report that he was not optimistic about at all was passed so smoothly, and their partner was just a "leather bag laboratory".

"Maybe it has something to do with Academician Zhao!"

he thought.

Zhang Hongtao immediately thought of another question, "By the way, I really wanted to only apply for 5 million in funding, which is a bit less. I wonder how much Academician Zhao applied for?"

"Our laboratory is strong and can apply for five million. I guess over there, the Leather Bag Laboratory...two million?"

He called and asked, and his lips suddenly grinned to an exaggerated level, "What?"

"You have applied for 20 million? Is this just the initial capital?"

After Zhang Hongtao put down the phone, he suddenly wasn't happy at all and even had the urge to cry. He murmured, "We are a national key laboratory, a national key laboratory!"

"And you are a leather laboratory, and your names are all imitated... and the result..."

"Five million? Twenty million initial capital?"

"peat--!"
