From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

Du Hai, a researcher in the technology laboratory who is in charge of testing, came out a few steps later than Yue Zhiquan. Unlike Yue Zhiquan's calm appearance, Du Hai walked out quickly, with excitement and excitement written all over his face.

"How is it, Du Hai? What is the tensile value?" Peng Hui saw Du Hai, and immediately asked again, lest Yue Zhiquan was joking.

Du Hai clenched his head tightly, his whole face collapsed, his excitement was beyond words, he took a deep breath before he said, "The tensile strength is between 1787 MPa and 1796 MPa."

"That's around 1790, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes..." Du Hai nodded continuously for confirmation.

The whole corridor suddenly became more lively.

When Yue Zhiquan said just now, some people thought that he might be joking. The value of 1790 is really amazing, so amazing that people can’t believe it, and the data feels very false.

Now Du Hai's confirmation convinced everyone.

"1790, my God, I don't even know what this concept is!"

"Is it really 1790? Isn't there a problem with the detection? This value should be more than the highest in the world, right?"

"I remember the highest is 1720, and it was made by special means."

"We actually produced such a high-end titanium alloy..."

Everyone in the metal laboratory is very excited. The hard work has brought rich rewards, so rich that it seems like a dream.

Peng Hui embraced the others excitedly, and walked quickly towards Wang Hao, hugged him, and shouted excitedly, "Thank you! Thank you! Professor Wang Hao, your analysis is really amazing."

"Without you, we wouldn't even be able to complete the initial research, and now this result is far beyond expectations."

"I don't know what to say now, really, thank you very much..."

Peng Hui was so excited that he shed tears, and the other people beside him were also in tears.

They are simply because they are too excited.

At the next staircase, Li Jiping and Cao Dongming stood there together. They didn't say a word, with disbelief written on their faces.

Yue Zhiquan also came over, and continued to say excitedly, "I knew it was unusual when I saw that alloy just now. I really couldn't help it, so I followed it in for inspection."

"It's really unusual!"

"During the test, I was already surprised when I saw the value exceeded 1600. As a result, the value gradually exceeded 1700, and even approached 1800..."

"You don't know that I was nervous at the time. I was really nervous. I have been doing this for many years, and I have never been so nervous and excited."

Yue Zhiquan specializes in material testing. Material testing is also a research direction. The performance of materials is evaluated with various professional values. The testing of alloy materials is a general direction.

For Yue Zhiquan, a professional related to material composition and performance, it is simply a dreamlike experience to do an alloy test that exceeds the most advanced international level.

It may be difficult for people in other fields to understand Yue Zhiquan's feelings, but they still have an understanding of data.

Li Jiping asked continuously, "How is this possible? 1790? Lao Yue, you are not joking, are you?"

"How can I joke about such a thing?"

"This value is too outrageous, it was 1560 last time, this time directly increased to 1790?"

Looking at the excited celebration of entering the laboratory on the other side, and thinking about Yue Zhiquan's affirmative tone, Li Jiping also knows that the data is real, but because of the real data, he feels that he has completely exceeded his understanding of material research and development.

What he saw was the same as others, that is, Wang Hao made a professional analysis and directly made changes to the project process.

Then, the finished product has such a big improvement?

How could such a thing be possible!

Li Jiping had disbelief written all over his face, he felt that what happened in front of him was beyond his understanding.

As an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the direction of materials, he has many times led the team to do material research and development. His team also has personnel who do data analysis, but their analysis results can only provide some references for the project, and actually formulate the process. The process is still experienced personnel.

Past experience has also proved that the most direct way to develop materials is to continue to experiment.

If the temperature is not good, adjust the temperature; if the quenching effect is not satisfactory, adjust the quenching method; if there is a problem with the finished product produced by the process, consider adjusting the process.

etc.

This is also the reason why most people are not optimistic about the project of the metal laboratory. Because of the lack of corresponding funds, it is difficult to conduct experiments repeatedly. How can the number of experiments produce results?

it's good now.

Something beyond cognition happened right in front of my eyes. Wang Hao, who was hired as a data analyst, just did a data analysis, directly adjusted the process and other things, and then the strength of the finished product was greatly increased.

From Li Jiping's point of view, this kind of thing is totally incomprehensible.

Cao Dongming also couldn't understand it. He is a leading technical expert in the field of titanium alloys. He has led a team to complete many research and development of titanium alloy-related materials, and has won numerous awards and honors based on these achievements.

The research and development of titanium alloys he understands is also continuous experimentation.

However, his team worked hard, spent money on experiments, accumulated experience and gradually improved, in order to produce titanium alloy materials at the international advanced level.

The results of it?

Wang Hao just did some data analysis, relied on the results, and guided the process of the metal laboratory, which greatly improved the strength of the finished product.

Titanium alloy tensile strength increased from 1560 to 1790.

What is this concept?

Even if it is a big effort to do hundreds of experiments and burn the amount of funds in units of 'billion', it is impossible to achieve such a big improvement.

Cao Dongming and Li Jiping looked at each other, and they could see the disbelief in each other's eyes.

They were shocked not just by the process, but also by the results.

What is the concept of β-type titanium alloy compressive strength of 1790 MPa?

Foreign laboratories have explored the strength improvement technology of titanium alloys and produced titanium alloys with a tensile strength above 1700, but they used 'unconventional methods'.

For 'unconventional means', the raw materials used first are the best, which is the kind of titanium powder with very few impurities.

This kind of titanium powder has gone through many processes of removing impurities. Titanium itself is not a particularly expensive metal, but the extraction process is very complicated, which leads to the price of elemental titanium, and the titanium that has been extracted many times from impurities, on the basis of It is not an exaggeration to say that the value is compared with gold.

This kind of titanium powder with very little impurity content, the performance of the titanium alloy produced will of course be much better. The process of producing the alloy will also be repeatedly quenched in a vacuum environment, and the most cutting-edge technology is also used in other processes .

In the simplest example, most of the manufacturing process is done in a vacuum environment, and one item is enough to cost a lot of money.

After the alloy is manufactured, a step of surface quenching is added to make the surface of the finished alloy harder.

With this extreme manufacturing method, the tensile strength of the finished titanium alloy can exceed 1700 MPa.

The metal laboratory conducts scientific research on the "conventional means" of compressive titanium alloys, and the entire manufacturing process adopts "conventional means". 'Conventional means' are mass-produced that are universally available.

If they add the final surface quenching process to the titanium alloy material produced, the tensile strength will definitely continue to increase, and it is very easy to exceed 1800 MPa.

The results of this research have gone far beyond the general category.

To put it mildly, the R\u0026D has achieved significant results, and the strength of the finished alloy has exceeded the most advanced international level.

In a big way, the research and development results of the project are remarkable, which can greatly increase the domestic understanding of titanium alloys, and promote the research and development technology of titanium alloy material applications in various industries by leaps and bounds.

Scientific theory is the promotion of technology.

Even in the field of material manufacturing, related research and development are divided into two aspects: scientific basis and technology. The metal laboratory is doing scientific basic research. They are exploring how to increase the strength of β-type titanium alloy.

The purpose of this research and development is not to manufacture materials that can be directly applied in industry, but to provide scientific reference for the research and development of other titanium alloy materials.

For example, a titanium alloy research and development group project specifies to develop a titanium alloy with fixed properties, and they need to increase the strength of the titanium alloy.

How to do it?

They can refer to the project of the metal laboratory and make certain improvements to the manufacturing process, and the possibility of achieving the goal is very high.

This will save a lot of time and money for many titanium alloy research and development projects.

Cao Dongming felt the deepest, and he immediately thought of this question, because he is an expert in the research and development of titanium alloys, and has five titanium alloy projects under his command.

Three of these require increased strength in titanium alloys.

One project is an example. They developed the landing gear of the aircraft. The landing gear of the aircraft is fixed and can be made of β-type titanium alloy, and the highest requirement for the landing gear is strength.

The moment the plane lands, the landing gear must bear enormous pressure. If it breaks, it will cause the plane to crash and kill people.

Ordinary civil aviation aircraft do not need titanium alloy landing gear, but special steel is enough.

Fighter planes are different.

If fighter jets want to pursue increased flexibility, load capacity, etc., they must reduce the weight of the fuselage as much as possible.

The landing gear also occupies a certain weight, and it is not light. If it can be replaced with titanium alloy, it can achieve a great weight reduction effect.

"Like this piece of alloy that was produced just now, its strength is 1790, maybe after further research and modification, it can be directly applied to the landing gear of fighter jets, right?"

Cao Dongming thought with a sigh, he can't wait to understand all the procedures and related analysis content immediately.

Obviously, that's impossible.

Even the expert reviewers of the Materials Science Department cannot check all the research and development data. Their right is to have a general understanding and then test the finished product.

As for the specific process and data of research and development, they still have to be submitted to the superiors and kept confidential for major projects.

Others who want to check can only apply later.

...

The metal laboratory is still busy. After everyone is excited, they immediately start the finishing work of the experiment, making records, reporting, summarizing and other tasks.

Several researchers also prepare to write reports, make results summary, and so on.

Wang Hao has been in the laboratory all the time, because he is the "second person on the achievement list", he also simply wrote a research report, and the other materials to be submitted are the completed analysis reports.

That's it.

Several members of the expert review team also stayed together until 8 o'clock in the evening, made some simple records, and talked with Peng Hui about the settlement of results before returning to the hotel to rest.

Li Jiping, Cao Dongming and others returned to the hotel together, just in time to run into Ding Zongquan and Lu Daxiang who had returned from their 'tourism'.

Ding Zongquan didn't have the face to go to the laboratory again, so he simply dragged Lu Daxiang around Xijing City, and waited to fly back tomorrow.

Li Jiping couldn't say anything about this.

Although Li Jiping is the leader of the expert group, the expert group is not a formal unit. They are all experts invited by the Department of Materials Science of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and they are only responsible for the review of major projects.

During the evaluation process, if the experts do not actively participate, the most they can do is to talk about it. The next time there is a major project evaluation, it is fine not to invite the other party.

Ding Zongquan didn't care whether he went to the laboratory or not, he asked curiously, "How is the result? The experiment should be over, right?"

When going out for a walk during the day, he and Lu Daxiang had a few conversations, and both felt that the finished product could not be improved.

Wang Hao's analysis seems to be very professional, but can material research and development be done by analysis?

When Li Jiping saw Ding Zongquan, he just pursed his lips and said nothing, then patted Ding Zongquan on the shoulder, and walked towards the elevator.

Yue Zhiquan's performance was the same, he patted Ding Zongquan on the shoulder, and followed Li Jiping's footsteps.

Ding Zongquan was full of doubts, but it was Lu Daxiang who gave Cao Dongming a hand and asked, "What's the result?"

"1, 7, 9, 0."

Cao Dongming said four numbers, shook his head and walked away.

Lu Daxiang froze on the spot with his mouth half open, he finally understood why, the reactions of several people were like this.

Tensile strength 1790!

This is a value far exceeding the highest international level.

Which team can produce results of this level will definitely be discussed by many people in the circle, including the research and development process, experience, achievements, awards, etc., and even the details of the research and development, what happened, are likely to be spread.

Ding Zongquan publicly questioned Wang Hao, and he was directly beaten back.

At that time, there were several researchers and associate researchers of the metal laboratory, as well as several of their expert reviewers. The matter would almost certainly spread, not necessarily outside the circle, but people in the circle would most likely know.

At that time, Ding Zongquan will most likely become a laughing stock in the circle, right?

Not only was he turned back by Xiaonian, but the facts also proved that Xiaonian is very unusual. An analysis report can make a huge breakthrough in the project results at the international level.

What will others say?

"Will I be implicated?" Lu Daxiang regretted traveling with Ding Zongquan during the day, and he thought it had nothing to do with him.

Then he watched Ding Zongquan shook his head, and said the number with a sigh, "Cao Dongming said just now, 1790."

"What?"

"1790." Lu Daxiang repeated, sighed again, and hurried to find Li Jiping to understand the situation.

Let Ding Zongquan digest this news slowly.

...

three days later.

The metal laboratory submitted the results report to the Department of Materials Science of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, which immediately caused a new round of shock.

Even those who knew the news in advance felt very incredible when they saw the introduction of the ‘tensile strength 1790 titanium alloy’.

Next comes project review, billing, and other follow-up issues.

Most of the affairs had nothing to do with Wang Hao. On the second day after completing the experiment, that is, on Monday morning, he returned to Xihai by plane.

Before leaving, Peng Hui took him to say a lot of thanks, and specifically stated that the results would rank him as "contribution first".

Cao Dongming pulled Wang Hao and wanted to invite him to join his project.

Wang Hao refused.

The reason for helping the metal laboratory to do data analysis is because of Xia Guobin's face, and there are two other considerations.

One point is that he has courses in data mining, probability, and functional analysis, and he can do related research and development very quickly.

But the semester has entered the final stage.

"Introduction to Mathematical Mining" has ended, and the other two courses only have one week of class.

In addition, the super-compression-resistant alloy material is a project of the predecessor "Fall", and he also wants to participate in the research.

Now that the research has been completed, he really has little interest in material science research.

Therefore, what Peng Hui said about "results and contributions first", he is more concerned about whether he can get extra bonuses for reporting results, winning awards, etc...

Even if you are not short of money, it is always good to get more.

After returning to Xihai University, Wang Hao suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He let go of the pressure of a project research. After completing the task, he got 1,000 teaching coins again, so he can do research freely instead of nervously doing analysis.

First of all, he and Shuimu University determined the time to give the report after the next year.

Then he went to class, chatted a few words in the office, and occasionally carried out his own research and development. What he and Cao Dongmin said was true, and he already had ideas for the next step of research and development.

【Task 3】

[R\u0026D project: Research on the probability of prime number distribution (difficulty: S). 】

[Inspiration value: 55. 】

This is the source of the direction. As the inspiration value continues to increase, his ideas are gradually perfected.

Although I have only just found my way, I still know what to do.

read a book!

Read the paper!

Wang Hao is preparing to study a new mathematical method to solve some problems related to the law of numbers.

New mathematical methods are not easy.

He is not in a hurry.

The inspiration value of "Task 1" is only halfway through, and the courses for the new semester have not yet been decided, and I will go to Shuimu University to give a report after the year, so there are still many things on my body.

A period of time ago was relatively free, so it would be good to relax and take a break, and to think and study again when you have the energy.

On Friday, the Science Foundation made a big announcement.

The Natural Science Foundation of China announced that it has decided to fund 340 outstanding youth science projects, each with a funding of 1.3 million yuan.

This is an announcement, but also a piece of news. Many media immediately reported and listed all the young scholars who received funding and the projects they applied for.

Wang Hao's name and the project of 'Prime Number Distribution Probability Research' applied for are impressively listed.
