Sail across the sea

Chapter 89 Where did you hear it
Gao Fan heard Hai Qingwen's subtext, or more precisely, he saw through the trap Hai Qingwen had dug for him.He shook his head and replied:

"No, I completed this thesis independently. My father has been doing business management for these years, and he has almost lost his professionalism."

Hai Qingwen said: "Do you know how many knowledge points are involved in this paper? Don't say you are just a freshman, no, you are just a freshman who has just entered the school for two weeks, and there is no difference between a high school student .How could you write a paper like this?"

"Maybe it's because I prefer to study." Gao Fan said, "In fact, when I was in middle school, I had already taken chemistry courses in college. Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory's trial production of rare earth catalysts was my proposal, the main technology I also proposed it."

"What you said is true?" Hai Qingwen stared at Gao Fan and asked.

Speaking of this level, Gao Fan still insisted that he wrote the article himself, which shows that he did have some support.Academic papers are not novels. If you find someone to write it for you, if someone asks you, you will deny it, and no one else can do anything about it.

After all, such things as brain holes are illogical in the first place. I was a literary giant one second, and I was exhausted the next second. What can you do to me?
But academic papers are different. Every point of view has its source, how you think and how you derived it. If you can’t tell, it’s cheating, and there is nothing to quibble about.

If Gao Fan said that this article was co-authored with his father, if he encountered something unclear, he would push it to his father, and he would be able to get away with it.But he claimed that he did it independently, which means he has the confidence to accept doubts.

Could it be that Gao Fan is really a child prodigy?
"Your paper is well written. Did you come to me because you want me to recommend this paper to the magazine?" Hai Qingwen changed the question.He decided to understand Gao Fan's purpose before making further calculations.

Gao Fan shook his head again, and said, "I plan to submit the paper myself, so I won't waste Teacher Hai's precious time. I have some ideas, and I want to spend a little more time in the library to read the materials and see if I can read them." No more papers can be written.

"But now, our course schedule is very full, and I hardly have time to go to the library, so I want to apply to the department for course exemption. I wonder if Mr. Hai can help me be an introducer."

"Exemption? Shouldn't you ask the academic affairs?" Hai Qingwen asked.

Gao Fan said: "Yes, this matter is under the control of the academic affairs. However, the department requires that the application must be made in the first week of the semester. I know this policy is a bit late. Also, I want to apply for exemption. There are many homework, I'm afraid the department won't agree."

"Which course do you want to apply for advanced standing?"

"All, including mathematical analysis, general chemistry, English..."

"All courses are exempted? Wait, you just said that you have already taken college courses by yourself when you were in middle school, can't it be true?"

"Mr. Hai, do you think I look like a kid who loves to lie?" Gao Fan asked with a pitiful look.

Hai Qingwen burst out laughing right away, Gao Fan's cuteness gave Hai Qingwen a good impression.In his opinion, a child who can be cute is definitely not the kind of person who is deeply in the city and wants to speculate. Maybe this is a cute little girl who loves to learn since childhood, has a high IQ and a low EQ.

"You mean, let me help you to intercede with the academic affairs?" Hai Qingwen said, "But, in what name should I say it?"

"Just say, you are going to take me to do a project together, and you often have to go on business trips." Gao Fan said, borrowing the reason Xia Shihui said.

"What subject should I take you for?"

"Coal Liquefaction."

"Coal liquefaction!" Hai Qingwen looked surprised, "Where did you hear that I was doing research on coal liquefaction?"

"I heard from the brothers in the department." Gao Fan said.

The simplest explanation for the so-called coal liquefaction is to turn coal into oil in order to replace oil.my country is a country rich in coal resources but relatively scarce in oil resources. After entering the new world, 80% of China's oil supply depends on imports, which has become the biggest shortcoming of China's energy security and even economic security.

Coal-to-oil can replace oil with our relatively abundant coal, thus establishing an energy moat for the country.Once there is trouble in the world and China's oil imports are threatened, we can use coal-based oil instead of imported oil to ensure national security.

In addition, the mastery of coal-to-oil technology can also give China the power to negotiate prices with oil-exporting countries. Once oil-exporting countries ask for excessive prices, China can threaten to cancel oil imports, so that the oil produced by these countries cannot be sold.

China has carried out research on coal liquefaction very early. As early as 1951, it had achieved the success of Fischer-Tropsch water gas synthesis of liquid fuel. Later, it built a set of industrial demonstration equipment for synthetic oil, with an annual output of 4.7 tons of synthetic oil. grades.

However, affected by the technical level, the cost of synthetic oil in China has remained high.After the discovery of Daqing Oilfield, China achieved self-sufficiency in crude oil supply, and the urgency of coal-to-oil production decreased, and research in this area gradually stopped.

Hai Qingwen is one of the few scholars who are still devoted to the research of coal liquefaction in this era.He believes that the direction of coal liquefaction is correct, and China will definitely need this technology in the future.At present, coal liquefaction has not been paid much attention, the reason is that the technology is immature, the cost is too high, and the lack of economy.

If a breakthrough can be made in technology and the cost of coal liquefaction can be greatly reduced, this technology will definitely be rejuvenated.

In fact, Hai Qingwen did wait for the youth of coal liquefaction technology.That was after entering the 90s, with the continuous rise of international oil prices and China's rapid economic growth from a crude oil exporter to a crude oil importer, the country re-emphasized coal liquefaction technology.

At that time, Hai Qingwen was over sixty years old. He led his team to overcome many technical difficulties and made outstanding contributions to the country's coal liquefaction technology research, making China a leading international player in this field.

Gao Fan learned from the materials of later generations that Hai Qingwen already had some ideas on coal liquefaction at this time, but suffered from lack of research funding and research conditions, and failed to transform these ideas into actual results.

Some of the ideas he thought of first were preempted by foreign scholars and became the patents of large foreign companies.Later generations of China had to pay high patent fees to those foreign companies when building coal liquefaction plants.When Hai Qingwen mentioned this matter to his disciples, he often sighed. Gao Fan of later generations had also heard of it.

Now, since fate sent Gao Fan here, he should be able to make up for some regrets.
