Material Empire

Li Linguang returned excitedly holding Qin Hai's sketch. Qin Hai promised that he would send someone to Hongze immediately to sign a commissioned research agreement with him in order to allocate research funds and clarify the ownership of future achievements. Qin Hai was not worried that Li Linguang would plagiarize his ideas, and start a new one to research the technology in order to take advantage of the huge benefits of this technology, because he was very familiar with Li Linguang in the previous life, and he knew that Li Linguang's character was completely acceptable. believable.

After leaving the engineering college, Qin Hai took a taxi and came to the Anhe Provincial Military Region. When he arrived at the gate and was about to take out his documents to register, he bumped into an acquaintance, his fellow villager Huang Zheng.

"Qin...Qin..." Huang Zheng looked at Qin Hai with joy on his face, but hesitated as to what to call Qin Hai. According to the past, he should have called Qin Hai by his first name, or by his nickname, but after knowing that Qin Hai and Yue Guoyang had friendship, Huang Zheng didn't dare to call Qin Hai like that anymore, but he wanted to find someone I couldn't think of the appropriate title in a hurry.

"Huang Zheng, are you still here?" Qin Hai knew why Huang Zheng was embarrassed, he greeted Huang Zheng with a smile, and distracted the question about his address.

"Yes, I was supposed to be demobilized this year, but Director Zhu said he was going to recommend me to go to a military academy..." Huang Zheng said in a low voice, leaning his head closer to Qin Hai. Obviously, going to the military academy is a great joy for Huang Zheng. When he spoke, his tone was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Okay, now that you've entered the military academy, you'll be an officer when you come back, right? Congratulations."

Huang Zheng said shyly: "Isn't this thanks to you? Since you greeted Platoon Leader Ge, he and Director Zhu have taken special care of me. I was promoted to be the squad leader just a few years ago, and now they say they want to send me to Military academy, I know, this is all for your sake. My dad kept saying that he would look for an opportunity to thank you."

"They're all from the same village, shouldn't that be the case?" Qin Hai said casually, "By the way, is Commander Yue there? I want to visit him."

This sentence confused Huang Zheng's question. In his capacity, how could he be qualified to know the commander's movements. He froze for a moment before asking, "Oh, Commander Yue... have you made an appointment with him?"

Qin Hai shook his head: "I haven't made an appointment. I happen to have some time, so I thought of coming to visit."

Huang Zheng was speechless. The man in front of him really regarded Commander Yue as the village chief, and he came to visit whenever he wanted, without any sense of awe. However, he also knew that Qin Hai really had such a status in front of Yue Guoyang, Director Zhu of the Operations Department had spoken to him a limited number of times, and the name Qin Hai had to be mentioned every time.

"Let me make a call for you first to ask." Huang Zheng said timidly.

As Huang Zheng expected, when the call was made, there was an answer immediately, and Yue Guoyang instructed the guards to take Qin Hai to the office to meet him.

"Let me see if Boss Qin is getting fat again."

Qin Hai walked into Yue Guoyang's office, and Yue Guoyang joked to him while calling him to sit down. The term "boss" has just started to become popular in society. From Yue Guoyang's point of view, Qin Hai, who owns such an industry as Pingyuan Special Steel Plant, is naturally the big boss.

"Commander Yue is trying to embarrass me." Qin Hai sat down on the sofa, pretending to be pitiful and replied. It's necessary for him to act like this. If the leader is joking with you, you have to react, otherwise you won't give the leader face.

"Call you the big boss, right? Last year, Guangjun shoveled this item, and your Pingyuan Special Steel Plant earned 2 million yuan? Scary, good guy, 2 million, you are at least Pingyuan The richest man, right?" Yue Guoyang commented enthusiastically. Given his status, he would naturally not be jealous of Qin Hai's wealth, but emotion is essential. After all, Qin Hai is just a young man who has just turned 20 years old. It is really surprising that he can be worth more than one million.

Qin Hai's wealth is of course more than what Yue Guoyang saw. In fact, the military shovel business is no longer a major business for Qin Hai. However, in the past two years, Qin Hai produced military shovels and sold them abroad through the hands of Yue Guoyang, and the provincial military region also gained a lot of profits from it.

This amount of money is insignificant compared to the military expenditure allocated by the superior to the provincial military region, but its advantage is that it can be used flexibly, unlike military allocations that must be earmarked for specific purposes. Yue Guoyang has accomplished many things by relying on this small treasury in his hand, so he also has a good impression of Qin Hai.

After teasing, Yue Guoyang asked Qin Hai why he came here. Qin Hai smiled and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with it. It's just that I haven't heard Commander Yue's teachings for a long time, and I'm worried that I'm lagging behind in thinking, so I made a special trip here."

"Little slick!" Yue Guoyang pointed at Qin Hai with his finger and cursed, "Just flattering you so much, I also know that you must have something to ask me, maybe it's something troublesome. Tell me, If I can coordinate, I will help you coordinate."

"Since this is the case, then I'll think about it, is there anything that needs to be done by Commander Yue?" Qin Hai said pretendingly.

Yue Guoyang knew that Qin Hai was pretending, so he also pretended to be impatient, and said: "If you have something to say, tell me quickly, if you don't talk about it, I won't care about it."

"Don't, don't, Commander Yue, when you say this, I remember that I really have something to trouble you." Qin Hai said quickly.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yue Guoyang said.

Qin Haidao: "I just came back from the capital, and Vice Minister Cui of the Ministry of Agriculture gave me a task, asking me to develop a rotary tillage blade with a durability of more than 2,500 mu. Now I have a little idea about the specific process, but it involves The materials I received are a bit difficult, and I would like to ask Commander Yue for help."

"What material?" Yue Guoyang asked.

Qin Haidao: "A kind of ceramic powder called titanium nitride requires a particle size of no more than 25 microns. I thought about it. It may be difficult to find it in the civilian field, but it should be available in the military field. I would like to ask Commander Yue to help me. Get some."

"Titanium nitride... what is it for?" Yue Guoyang asked with a frown, it was the first time he had heard of this kind of thing, and he didn't know what it was useful for. If it wasn't some sensitive material, he wouldn't mind asking Qin Hai about it. But if it is a sensitive material, then there is nothing he can do.

Qin Hai briefly introduced the functions of titanium nitride. In fact, this kind of thing has a wide range of applications. It can be used as a decorative coating or as a high-temperature lubricant. It is used in both military and civilian fields. However, for thermal spraying, Qin Hai needs titanium nitride powder with higher purity and smaller particle size. Such powder can also be found in civilian systems, but Qin Hai has no such relationship. It may be more convenient to find the relationship in the military field.

"You write down the specific requirements, and I'll let my comrades in the National Defense Industry Office find out." Yue Guoyang heard Qin Hai's introduction, so he didn't worry much, and he agreed directly. He knew that Qin Hai was not a frivolous person, since he asked Yue Guoyang to find these things, it was naturally useful.

Qin Hai was afraid that Ye Chang would have many dreams, so he didn't delay, so he asked Yue Guoyang for a few pieces of paper on the spot, and then began to write the request. He wrote for a full twenty minutes, filling several sheets of paper, and then handed it over to Yue Guoyang.

"Why are there so many?" Yue Guoyang looked at the dense pile of content on the paper and asked strangely.

Qin Hai put on an embarrassing look, and said in a low voice: "I thought about it, since I want to bother Commander Yue, I should simply write a few more things. Besides titanium nitride, I also want to give it a try. Titanium carbide, tungsten carbide, chromium carbide, zirconium boride, molybdenum boride, molybdenum silicide, magnesium zirconate..."

Once the thermal spraying process is broken through, the next thing is to experiment with different materials, and each material can produce different spraying effects to meet certain specific material performance requirements. The materials listed by Qin Hai are all materials that have been proved by later generations to be used in the thermal spraying process. He has already made up his mind that after Li Linguang finishes researching the thermal spraying process of titanium nitride, let him make persistent efforts and use other Material experiments are also done one by one. You should know that every time you change a material, you can apply for a new patent. Whoever occupies these pits first will be able to earn more patent income in the future.

Yue Guoyang's head was swollen when he heard it, he waved his hand, interrupted Qin Hai's statement like reporting the name of the dish, pointed to the few pieces of paper and said: "Enough is enough, what you said is written on it?"

"Well... I haven't finished writing yet, let's find these first, and talk about other things later." Qin Hai replied.

"Hey! You will really give me a problem." Yue Guoyang sighed falsely, looked at the few pieces of paper again, and said, "Well, since you have made so many contributions to the construction of our army Now, I’ll save face and help you get in touch. However, I’m going to put my ugly words in front of me. If there is something in it that involves national defense secrets or may endanger social security, then I can’t help you.”

"Don't worry, the things I listed are not classified, but it's not easy to get them through civilian channels." Qin Hai explained.

"I really don't know what's in your head!" Yue Guoyang muttered pretending to be annoyed, and then solemnly put away the list written by Qin Hai, planning to contact Qin Hai some other day.

The next thing is really just chatting, but, in order to express his gratitude to Yue Guoyang, Qin Hai promised to donate another batch of supplies to the provincial military region. In addition, he can also provide a batch of steel and cement to the provincial military region at a par price for Repair barracks. In recent years, the country has made great efforts to reduce military expenditure, and the provincial military region is also stretched. Qin Hai's support in this way can help Yue Guoyang solve many problems.

Yue Guoyang is a commander after all, so he doesn't have so much free time to chat with Qin Hai. After the two talked a few more words, Qin Hai got up consciously and said goodbye.

After leaving the provincial military area, Qin Hai went to the coach station to get on a long-distance bus and returned to Pingyuan.
