Sail across the sea

Chapter 90
"Do you really want to do research on coal liquefaction with me, or are you just looking for an excuse?"

Hai Qingwen looked at Gao Fan and asked seriously.

Gao Fan laughed and said, "It depends on whether Teacher Hai is willing to take me. However, no matter whether Teacher Hai is willing to take me or not, I can help Teacher Hai find a place to do experiments."

"What do you mean?" Hai Qingwen didn't understand.

Gao Fan said: "As I said just now, my father is the director of the Canghai Chemical Fertilizer Factory in Maolin Province. Our factory may undergo technical transformation of ammonium to urine recently, and some of the original production equipment will be eliminated.

"If we are willing, we can contact our factory and use our factory as an experimental base. Our original ammonia synthesis device can be used as an experimental device for coal liquefaction with a little modification.

"We produce synthetic ammonia using carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which are also the feedstock gases for the synthesis of diesel and gasoline. You can do coal-to-oil experiments with us at almost no cost."

"You mean, can you convince your father to accept us doing experiments there?"

Hai Qingwen could hardly believe his ears.

How could he not understand what Gao Fan said.In fact, the process of indirect coal liquefaction is quite similar to synthetic ammonia.The previous process is coal gasification to generate synthesis gas composed of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.

Fertilizer plants use synthesis gas to generate synthetic ammonia. If some equipment is changed and different catalysts are used, the synthesis gas can also be used to generate diesel and gasoline. This is the principle of coal-to-oil.

Hai Qingwen has always wanted to find a fertilizer factory to test some of his coal-to-oil ideas.But the chemical fertilizer factory has production tasks, who wants to play with you?Besides, coal-to-oil equipment is still different from synthetic ammonia. The cost of adding these equipment is as high as hundreds of thousands, which is not something Hai Qingwen can afford.

So, this thing can't be done anymore.

Gao Fan's suggestion sounds like it is really feasible.Gao Fan's father is the director of a chemical fertilizer factory, if he can nod, the problem will not be a big deal.

In terms of equipment, according to Gao Fan, they will phase out a set of old synthetic ammonia equipment.If it is modified on this basis and changed to a coal-to-oil experimental device, the cost will not need to be hundreds of thousands, maybe only a few tens of thousands...

Well, tens of thousands of yuan is not "mere" to Hai Qingwen. His monthly salary is only more than 100 yuan, so he is not qualified to call tens of thousands of yuan "mere".

However, the investment dropped from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands, which gave Hai Qingwen hope.In case he can apply for a certain project, or get some connections from other colleagues, tens of thousands of yuan may be able to solve the problem.

At that time, he can use this device to verify his assumptions.Even if there are problems with his assumptions, he can find them in the experiment and correct them.

This is far better than sitting in the office and reading literature bitterly like he is now.

"You don't want to use this method to let me help you apply for exemption from advanced studies, do you?" Hai Qingwen asked.

The pie was too big and the stuffing was too fragrant, which made Hai Qingwen smell a conspiracy.If Hai Qingwen had to use some principles to exchange what Gao Fan promised, Hai Qingwen would not accept it.

Professors are moral.

It is said that the professor is moral.

Gao Fan smiled innocently: "Mr. Hai, you are overthinking. I just want to ask you to help me get a chance to take the exempted exam. Whether I can pass depends on my exam results. If I don't have this Level, I dare not make this request.

"As for the experiment in our factory, it's just because I heard that Mr. Hai couldn't find a place to do the experiment, and we have such conditions there.

"My father is also a university graduate. He has always been very supportive of scientific research. If a professor from Peking University can come to our factory to do experiments, all the cadres and workers of our factory will feel very honored."

"Oh, I misunderstood." Hai Qingwen's old face turned red.

Their children just ask you to help say hello to the academic affairs. They have the strength and confidence to pass the exemption exam.

The fact that someone introduced the experimental site to you is just out of respect for scientific research, and it represents the admiration for academics by thousands of cadres and workers in a chemical fertilizer factory. You see where you are thinking.

Is this considered to be a gentleman's heart, to save a villain... Eh, something seems wrong, could it be the opposite?

What he said was a misunderstanding, but Hai Qingwen took Gao Fan's exam seriously and confirmed that Gao Fan's chemistry skills are very solid, so he took him to the academic affairs office of the department.

"You said you have taught yourself all the majors?"

Zheng Xiuhua, the secretary of the Department of Chemistry, stared at Gao Fan with her wise eyes and asked, with a lot of pressure in her eyes.

Zheng Xiuhua is 45 years old this year. She joined the Department of Chemistry when she was 18 years old, assisting the old teaching secretary at that time in teaching affairs.

At the age of 20, the old academic secretary retired, Zheng Xiuhua became the academic secretary of the Department of Chemistry, and has been working until now.During the movement years, the professors in the department were sent to the May [-]th Cadre School, and Zheng Xiuhua followed him. After a few years of fighting in the countryside, his training became more and more vigorous.

The position of Academic Affairs Secretary is to fight wits and courage with students, and Zheng Xiuhua believes that no student who wants to be mischievous can escape her eyes.

However, freshmen would be intimidated by Zheng Xiuhua's stern appearance, but any student who has stayed in the chemistry department for a year knows that Aunt Zheng is actually a tofu-mouthed mother-in-law.She is more enthusiastic than the two teachers in charge of student affairs in the general branch. She has done dozens of times just to help poor students with food and clothing from her own home.

At this time, looking at Gao Fan brought by Hai Qingwen, Zheng Xiuhua's thoughts were that this student must have done well in middle school, was spoiled by teachers and parents, and was so arrogant that he dared to let go of his request. Kyogen who applied for exemption from all courses.

You say you taught yourself all the lessons, and that may be true.

After all, this is Peking University, and some of the students who can be admitted to Peking University are mediocre. It is nothing new to use the summer vacation to preview university courses in advance.

But if you have learned it yourself, can you be sure that you understand it all?

Without the teacher's guidance, can what you learn be solid?

If self-study is useful, why do we need schools?
Also, what an impetuous student he must be if he doesn't want to go to class when he first enters school.If such students don't give a good blow, they will be even more proud in the future. A good seedling may be useless.

"I've taught myself. I don't believe Teacher Zheng can test me with papers."

Gao Fan was not intimidated by Zheng Xiuhua's gaze, he replied calmly.

"It's already the second week, where can I find the exemption papers for you?" Zheng Xiuhua said, "However, I can find someone to test you. If you fail his test, just go back to class honestly!"
