Genius of the Rules-Style System

Wang Zhifang has been engaged in research and development of alloy materials all his life, and he quickly figured out the problem in Zhao Yi's words.

In the research and development of alloy materials, theory does only account for a small part. No matter how perfect the argument is, the chance of directly producing results is also very small, but it is always much better than an argument with many problems that cannot be explained.

For example, if everything makes sense, the probability of improving the performance of the finished product is 10%.

There are many arguments that cannot be explained, and the chance of improving the performance of the finished product may be only one percent.

The difference lies here.

‘Trial and error’, it’s hard to say.

Every experimental design demonstration has several steps. In the end, the performance of the finished product is not improved. It is difficult to say which step is the problem.

Of course, it is undeniable that the performance of the final product has been improved, but the improvement is not much, and it is even less possible to identify the steps that have an impact, so what Zhao Yi said still makes sense.

Wang Zhifang was relieved that Zhang Hongtao's argument was confirmed, but she didn't expect that what Zhao Yi needed was 'trial and error', rather than a perfect argument that can directly produce results.

"We're looking in the wrong direction!"

Wang Zhifang felt depressed about being forced to submit to 'leadership'. He couldn't help but think, "If I were the leader, I would definitely accept Hong Tao's argument and directly pass Shen Binghe's."

"Alas~"

What else can be done now?

Accept it!

Wang Zhifang shook his head depressedly, and when he raised his head again, he realized that everyone was looking at him, "What's wrong?"

He was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was his turn to make an experimental design report.

But……

Zhang Hongtao's arguments were directly suppressed below. His argument was more 'perfect', so it would definitely not be accepted, right?

Wang Zhifang shook his head and said, "Anyway, the first experiment is finalized, so I won't report it. I'll go back and think about it later and make some changes."

"Hong Tao too."

"Let's revise and improve it together."

…

After the separate demonstration reports were completed and Shen Binghe's design was finalized, Zhao Yi talked about the allocation of experimental work.

The manufacturing experiment of alloy materials is a big project. It is not like biomedical research. It ends in tinkering with the utensils in the laboratory. The experiment has very high requirements on equipment and environment, and also requires the cooperation of the 307 steel factory.

Zhao Yi must take care of the metal materials laboratory when making allocations, because the operating environment of the metal composite materials laboratory is much more high-end and complete than that of the metal materials laboratory. However, the two parties are cooperating in research and development, and it is impossible for everyone to be in the metal composite materials experiment. room.

The previous steps, which do not require special environments or equipment, are all completed in the operation room of the metal materials laboratory.

This should be taken into consideration that the equipment in the metal materials laboratory is all brand new, and brand-new equipment also needs to be 'polished', otherwise it will be a bit wasteful to introduce the equipment and not use it. of

The other steps are in the metal composite materials laboratory and a small military-factory they own. It is not accurate to say it is a military-factory. As early as twenty years ago, the factory began to produce civilian steel. Later, it was limited by geography. Due to location and equipment issues, it was simply ended as "military-use" and was assigned to the Aeronautical and Astronautical University for use by the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

This relatively small steel plant is very valuable for the research of alloy materials. Some high-temperature and high-pressure equipment cannot be placed in the laboratory operation room at all, so they are moved inside the factory. The factory also has very high-end and professional equipment.

Zhao Yi sorted out the environment and equipment required for the subsequent manufacturing of K03A and found that the metal composite materials laboratory has them all. He couldn't help but lament the gap between the two sides in basic scientific research equipment.

He still wanted to take care of the metal materials laboratory, so he decided to put the inspection work in the metal materials laboratory.

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao grinned when they heard this.

Most of the experimental processes are completed in the metal composite materials laboratory. When the product comes out and needs to be tested, do you come to Yanhua University for testing?

"This is too bullying!"

"How could this be?"

"If we really produce results, the venue must be the Metal Materials Laboratory, must it be Yanhua University?"

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao looked at each other and felt aggrieved immediately, but they didn't say a word, and they didn't even have the confidence to fight for it, because Zhao Yi was the boss of the R\u0026D team and led them to do R\u0026D together.

The second issue is funding.

The Metal Composite Materials Laboratory only applied for 5 million, which will definitely not be enough for subsequent experimental design. They also expect Zhao Yi's "assistance".

Zhao Yi is not stingy with funds at all.

The equipment and materials used in the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory are directly funded by project funds. In other words, most of the costs for the experiments and verification processes designed by a few people are paid by the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

In addition, the cooperation from 307 Steel Factory also depends on Zhao Yi's face, otherwise the other party may not be willing to rely on Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao to get money.

If you have money, you are the boss!

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao could only keep their opinions to themselves.

Once the general experimental process distribution is planned, it is time to formulate a targeted experimental plan.

To put it simply, Shen Binghe's experimental design plan is to specify three places to add rhenium element. Because the manufacturing process of K03A needs to be interrupted, one process has been modified, and the control temperature has been changed from 1,200 degrees Celsius to 3,000 degrees Celsius. Two hundred degrees Celsius.

The purpose of this modification is obviously to melt the metal rhenium, but it is unknown whether it has any impact on the original manufacturing.

The design plan formulated "three places to add rhenium elements". Li Rongmao laughed and said that Shen Binghe's design was "casting a large area of ​​net", but he hit the mark. He knew that his ability level was insufficient, so he decided to add rhenium elements in several places. Rhenium, "Maybe it will be effective? Cast the net over a large area, and there will always be one who will hit..."

The experimental process is still very complicated.

Each experiment is equivalent to manufacturing K03A from beginning to end. It also takes a lot of time to adjust the intermediate steps according to the experimental plan. Fortunately, 307 Steel Factory has given strong support. The previous parts of the manufacturing process can be completed by 307 Steel Factory. Once completed, they directly sent the materials for the manufacturing process and even sent a dedicated team to assist.

The experiment time set by Zhao Yi is two days, but it is only an experiment in the capital, and we have to wait for the materials to be sent from the 307 Steel Plant.

At the end of the meeting it was just a matter of waiting.

The 307 Steel Plant is very efficient. Perhaps it also attaches great importance to the research and development of Zhao Yi's team. It only took two days to deliver the intermediate materials for the experiment. The person responsible for the delivery was He Guilin's research and development team.

He Guilin came by himself and brought two technicians with him.

They first sent some materials to the Metal Materials Laboratory, and then went directly to the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory factory as arranged.

In the operation room of the metal materials laboratory, there are a lot of materials, items, and some accompanying equipment.

Zhao Yi went over to look at something, and then announced calmly, "Let's get started."

The experiment officially begins.

The first is the beginning of the metal materials laboratory, which involves simple processing of the material, high-temperature treatment with water, and the addition of several elements. This is the end. They do not need the metal rhenium here, and then the experiment The relevant materials were sent directly to the steel plant affiliated with the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

steel mill.

Many people are busy.

Wang Zhifang directed the workers to adjust the equipment, while Zhang Hongtao stood with He Guilin and talked about issues related to this experiment. He explained several changes. He Guilin sounded a little confused, "Who designed the plan?"

"Professor Shen Binghe." Zhang Hongtao lowered his lips forcefully and added, "It was academician Zhao who finalized it."

"Oh~~"

He Guilin was just about to talk about his views on the design, but he immediately stopped and said, "Academician Zhao said it's okay, so it's worth trying."

"..."

Zhang Hongtao also expected He Guilin to follow up with a few words of 'criticism', but he was very depressed when he got such a reply.

Although he believed in Zhao Yi's judgment, he was still not interested in Shen Binghe's design. Putting together a lot of small arguments, how could it be possible to improve the performance of the finished product?

This experiment was a waste!

"trial……"

"It doesn't matter!"

Zhang Hongtao comforted himself in this way, but he still felt a little depressed. The main reason was that Shen Binghe had too many design problems, and Zhao Yi's research and development methods were different from their experience and ideas, and beyond the scope of normal understanding.

…

soon.

The materials were delivered.

Shen Binghe also knew that his design was not recognized. Even Li Rongmao expressed his opinion silently, but Zhao Yi had already made a decision, and he gained a little more confidence, "Academician Zhao said it is OK and will be helpful for research and development, and he said If you are the first to do it, it doesn’t matter if you don’t get results.”

Although I think so, any design that is verified will have results.

Shen Binghe still hoped that the performance of the finished product would be improved. When he arrived at the factory, he was busy and hoped that there would be no mistakes in the manufacturing process.

Others are relatively free.

Most of the work was done by workers in the factory, and the team led by He Guilin was only responsible for supervision. Wang Zhifang gave instructions at first, but later stood aside and watched.

Zhang Hongtao and Li Rongmao stood aside, sometimes simply staying in the office, as if waiting for the results.

Zhao Yi is very serious. He observes the entire manufacturing process. As long as he is in the manufacturing process, he will watch every step carefully, sometimes even from a close distance. People next to him are afraid that high-temperature equipment will hurt him.

Two days later.

The finished product is almost out, and there is only one final step left - cold rolling. That is, the alloy is in a liquid state, and it is quickly cooled and rolled out into shape.

At this time, Zhao Yi suddenly spoke. He frowned and looked at the alloy solution. He took another step and commanded, "Divide it into two parts, one part is cold rolled and the other part is slowly cooled." Slow cooling means slowly. Cooling is slower than natural cooling. It is cooled during the continuous heating process, but the heating temperature is getting lower and lower.

Several people from the R\u0026D team were nearby.

Li Rongmao asked, "Slow cooling? What's the use?"

"Theoretically..." Wang Zhifang started to explain.

Zhao Yi interrupted directly, "Just give it a try, maybe it will work?" He didn't want to hear any 'theory'.

Wang Zhifang was suppressed for a moment and could only nod depressedly, "That's right." In fact, he originally wanted to say, 'slow cooling is not effective for K03A', but Zhao Yidu said, 'just try', anyway, it is just one more step, the factory It’s also done conditionally, so there’s no need to say anything else.

In fact, Zhao Yi said that it was divided into two parts just to prove that slow cooling is very meaningful. Just like Wang Zhifang's 'theory', slow cooling has no effect on the manufacturing of K03A, but they are not making the original K03A, but adding In addition to the rare metal element rhenium, slow cooling is very meaningful for the rhenium element to be embedded in K03A and exert its high melting point characteristics.

soon.

The finished products produced by the two cooling methods are out.

He Guilin immediately wanted to test the finished product, but was stopped by Li Rongmao, "Academician Zhao said that we need to go to the metal materials laboratory for testing."

"I know this too," He Guilin said, "But it's just the first test, so it probably won't work, right?"

What he means is that it is unlikely that the properties of the alloy will improve.

"Then we have to go to our laboratory." Li Rongmao insisted, and then he looked at Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yidao said, "Anyway, we still have two days to wait for the next lab, so just go to our place for testing."

"All right!"

He Guilin could only restrain his desire for testing, and took a bus to Yanhua University with others.

Metal Materials Laboratory.

He Guilin, Zhang Hongtao, and Li Rongmao personally tested the alloy products. Even the chief designer Shen Binghe couldn't do it. This was mainly due to operational experience. They were all front-line researchers and often did similar work. It can be said that they were driving lightly. Ripe.

Shen Binghe has much less experience. He only had practical experience when he was studying for his Ph.D.

soon.

It's getting lively over there.

"I've heated it to 1,500 degrees! Why doesn't it melt?" Zhang Hongtao said in surprise, "Did the melting point increase to above 1,500 degrees?"

"impossible?"

"real?"

"You read that right?"

He Guilin rushed over immediately.

It was still a bit dangerous for Zhang Hongtao to control the high-stable flame. He Guilin could only stand at a distance. When he found signs of melting in the alloy, he immediately couldn't help but ask, "How much?"

"1520 degrees!"

"1520? Are you kidding? Which piece is it?"

Zhang Hongtao said, "The piece that cools slowly."

the other side.

Li Rongmao was measuring the "cold rolled" finished product. He immediately shouted, "It's melting, 1460 degrees!"

"You also have 1460 degrees here?"

He Guilin and Zhang Hongtao shouted in surprise, and everyone else rushed over immediately.

Soon the melting point test is over.

Zhang Hongtao and Li Rongmao announced the results together, "Cold rolled, 1460 degrees; slow cooling, 1520 degrees!"

Everyone else was stunned.

Shen Binghe shouted subconsciously, "Real or fake? 1460? 1520? In other words, my design has improved the performance of K03A by more than a hundred degrees? Are you lying to me?"

Zhang Hongtao and Li Rongmao were silent together.

It took a long time.

Shen Binghe finally believed the result, and immediately shook his fist vigorously, and laughed, "I have said it before, you should believe in my design, how about it? I also argued and demonstrated, plus what Academician Zhao said is slow and cool, A hundred degrees!”

"Hahaha--"

"Let's hurry up and try your plan to see how it compares to mine. Anyway, I feel like your plan is still a little bit worse..."

"..."
