From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

For Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, before doing the experimental test of magnetic field control, it is necessary to pay attention to the ongoing experiment.

This experiment is based on the data provided by the alloy laboratory of Donggang University. The process and details of the entire manufacturing process are slightly modified, and the simulation and practical operation are carried out simultaneously to achieve the prediction and evaluation of the revised results.

The conclusion of the final forecast evaluation is still improved compared to before.

Ding Zongquan talked about a lot of data, and finally concluded, "According to this result, if it enters the production line, the defective rate will decrease between 0.8% and 1.76%."

Others also discussed.

The latest data method provided by the Alloy Material Laboratory of Donggang University has reduced the defective rate of ultra-thin steel products produced based on twin-roll casting and rolling technology.

This is certainly an improvement, but only to be expected.

The goal of the joint project between Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute and the alloy material laboratory of Donggang University is to reduce the defective rate by more than half.

The reduction of data in one experiment was less than 2%, and the progress can be said to be very small. Since the beginning of the cooperation project, the rate of defective products has decreased by about 8% compared to the beginning.

The data is still impressive, but the cost has already exceeded one-third. It can be said that it has not met the expectation at all, and it is even far from it.

This situation is also within the normal range.

In the field of material research, it is very normal for a certain research and development project to fail to meet expectations, especially in the research and development of technological improvement. It is normal to invest tens of millions in vain without any results.

Looking at the data of the defect rate, we can know that the Alloy Laboratory of Donggang University is really working on the project seriously.

The ultra-thin steel products produced by twin-roll casting and rolling technology have the most defective products because of steel cracks. The defective products caused by steel cracks account for more than 90% of all defective products.

As long as the problem of steel cracks is solved, everything else can be said to be a minor problem.

After the end of the experimental summary meeting that day, Wang Jiming announced that he would conduct research on the "influence of magnetic field stability of twin-roll casting and rolling technology on steel cracks".

This research is not exploratory, it is just an experiment for testing.

The project progress of Donggang University’s Alloy Laboratory did not meet expectations, which made Wang Jiming want to try it. Only by finding the root cause of steel cracks can this problem be solved. Otherwise, a little bit of research and development will solve most of the problems. The problem, in the end, I don't know where the problem is.

Although testing research can consume a lot of money, it will be worth it if you can find the root cause.

This experimental test is not carried out once or twice, but to manufacture products in various magnetic field environments, and to study the probability of steel cracks in the products.

If there is a follow-up test, it is even necessary to go to the factory's production line to try it.

Experimental testing is not straightforward either.

The magnetic field control equipment on the twin-roll casting and rolling technology production line of WISCO is provided by foreign companies and is an integral magnetic pole electromagnetic side sealing device.

The device was known to have some problems from the very beginning.

The biggest problem is that the electromagnetic induction intensity is too large, and the bottom of the magnetic pole is seriously heated, and the magnetic field distribution is uneven at the same molten pool depth.

This is why Zhang Gong judged that steel cracks are related to magnetic field control.

If they want to conduct experimental tests, they need to find a stable magnetic pole control device. For ordinary laboratories, this is a requirement that cannot be met at all. Strong R\u0026D partners are nothing at all.

The next morning, Wang Jiming contacted the Institute of Strong Magnetic Field Physics, who said they could provide equipment support and even technical support.

Of course, the premise is that the funds are in place.

After spending enough money to make people feel excited, all the equipment and personnel were in place soon, and even two sets of equipment were shipped directly, and special personnel were installed in the operation room. They are also ready to participate in the experimental test. The service can be said to be absolute. is top notch.

Under the coordination of Wang Jiming, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute made way for the research of "the influence of the magnetic field stability of twin-roll casting and rolling technology on steel cracks".

On the third day, the experimental test officially began.

at the same time.

In the Alloy Materials Laboratory of Donggang University, Chen Jianlin received the experimental report sent by the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute. Looking at the data of the "defective rate reduction value" above, he still felt a little dissatisfied.

Chen Jianlin attaches great importance to this research.

Alloy laboratories use false data to apply for funding, but some projects are also done with heart. The horizontal project of Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute is a project that they attach great importance to.

Chen Jianlin's personal level is still relatively high.

Whether it is Donggang University or the domestic material research and development circle, they all have a high evaluation of his ability.

Now the progress of this project makes Chen Jianlin dissatisfied. He doesn't understand why he works on the project normally and studies hard, but the progress is very slow.

The data submitted this time was originally expected to reduce the defective rate by more than 10%, but the result was only an increase of less than 2%. The value is really too bad.

Chen Jianlin frowned, held a meeting for the project team, and then found Ma Wenjun alone to talk about data analysis.

Ma Wenjun is an expert in material calculation, and the progress of the project depends on him.

But when he found that the progress of the project was very small, Chen Jianlin immediately put his suspicious eyes on Ma Wenjun.

Could it be that Ma Wenjun didn't contribute?

Did he do it deliberately and carelessly, or did he have other considerations?

Chen Jianlin was originally a suspicious person. He never trusted Ma Wenjun very much, and Zhou Xiaolong, the only one he trusted, had already left, and now he was thinking more.

Of course.

Chen Jianlin will definitely not show it. He explained that the experiment did not meet expectations as usual, and then said encouragingly, "Although it did not meet expectations, alloy research is often like this."

"Sometimes, this kind of project with perfect technology has not made any progress after one or two years of research, otherwise Wuhan Iron and Steel would not find other institutions to jointly develop it."

"Fortunately, Wuhan Iron and Steel still trusts us. I have already confirmed with Ding Zongquan that new funds will come in half a month. At that time, we can conduct another large-scale experiment. I hope this time we can achieve the expected results. Target."

"Professor Ma, I still have to rely on you, you should work harder."

Ma Wenjun adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is my job."

Ma Wenjun talked with Chen Jianlin for a few words and left.

He knew very well that Chen Jianlin didn't trust him, otherwise he wouldn't have come to talk to him in particular, but in the research after the year, he did his best and hoped to do it well.

As long as the project progresses smoothly, he can immigrate to live abroad more safely, and he wants to make another profit before leaving.

Unfortunately……

Chen Jianlin didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly devoted himself to the project. He even forgot to sleep and eat when he started research and development. He really devoted himself to the front line, which also drove the whole laboratory to be active.

Is this still Chen Jianlin?

Ma Wenjun was a little confused, but he subconsciously noticed something was wrong.

...

Wang Hao has returned to Xihai University.

He didn't start any new research, but prepared to rest for a while.

Even if I got a new ability, I didn't want to use it to do research, mainly because I was too tired a while ago, including the proof of Kakutani's conjecture, the summary of the mathematical method of S-level difficulty, and the study of aviation. The Institute of Materials gave a lecture on the general analysis method of β alloys.

As for the visit to WISCO Research Institute, by the way, I suggested that they go in the direction of "magnetic field control" to study and improve the twin-roll casting and rolling technology to increase the yield of ultra-thin steel products, which is what I said at the time of the experimental ability.

He didn't take it to heart at all.

Wang Hao decided to rest with peace of mind. He just went to class normally, and exercised at other times, and occasionally read books when he was in the mood.

Such a life is indeed very comfortable, but as an associate professor in a university, there will always be things that come to him.

Ying Changyuan, Director of the Admissions Office of the Graduate School.

He is in charge of postgraduate admissions. The last month or so can be said to be the busiest time of the year.

For ordinary things, Ying Changyuan would definitely not come to Wang Hao. Even if Wang Hao applied for two majors and six graduate students, he would only go through the normal process and let the graduate students who passed the exam take the re-examination.

This time it's a little different.

Ying Changyuan came here with a postgraduate application document.

Many graduate students in foreign universities use an 'application system', while domestic graduate students also apply for admission to international students.

If you are an ordinary international student, if you want to apply for Wang Hao's graduate school, the graduate school will have to carefully examine it before deciding to recommend it to Wang Hao.

This application is very unusual, and the content on the application materials is amazing——

Name: Helen Hinton.

Age: 15 years and 10 months.

Passport: American.

Undergraduate graduation institution: Stanford University, with a double bachelor's degree in mathematics and biological sciences.

When seeing this application material, Ying Changyuan felt a little dazed. Foreign students applying to Xihai University are generally the kind of graduates who have never heard of a school, which can be understood as a "community college". To put it bluntly, it is the "wild-chicken university", which can only be found on the Internet, and it barely meets the standards of a recognized university.

This application came from a student of American Ivy League University, which can be said to be the first time in the history of Xihai University.

Not only Xihai University, but also Mizuki University and Capital University, it is also difficult to attract students from American Ivy League universities to study in graduate school.

If you go back 20 years, the master's degree in domestic universities will not be recognized by foreign countries.

In addition, it was not just the graduate school that was surprising. The applicant was obviously a super genius, and it was unimaginable to have obtained a double degree in mathematics and biological sciences at the age of sixteen.

"She should be here for you." Ying Changyuan said to the point, but what he understood was for Wang Hao's fame.

Wang Hao's understanding is that he came for his own innocence.

When he saw Helen's application materials, his face turned dark. The meeting at the Pearl City Computer Conference still left a deep impression on him.

That girl is not yet sixteen years old, and what she thinks in her mind is that the combination of excellent genes creates excellent offspring?

What is this all about!

Wang Hao hesitated immediately, he wanted to directly reject the application, and considering the normal procedure, it seemed unreasonable to directly refuse, he couldn't just say "I don't want to get along with her" and refuse?

In addition, it has to be admitted that Helen is indeed a genius.

"It's not bad to have a genius under his command. Maybe it can be helpful for research?" Wang Hao became a little interested after thinking about it, but couldn't find a reason to reject it directly.

never mind!

"If she wants to come, let her come!" Wang Hao said to Changyuan.

Ying Changyuan let out a long breath, recruiting students would naturally hope for higher quality students, and it would be a pity to miss out on a super genius from an Ivy League university.

a week later.

The experimental tests of Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute have just been completed. It took much longer than they planned, and even cost several times more than expected. In order to do the final inspection, they even used the factory production line for a day.

The final results show that the appearance of steel cracks is directly related to the magnetic field control.

After completing the experimental test, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute held a core meeting. The participants included researchers from the research institute, administrators, two managers of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Group, and a vice president in charge of technology.

Wang Jiming took the experiment report and said, "This is our conclusion!"

"The main reason for steel cracks in the ultra-thin steel on the twin-roll casting and rolling production line is the unstable control of the magnetic field."

"Professor Wang Hao from Xihai University said so. He also mentioned the problem of the temperature field. We haven't done specific tests, but the magnetic field control has been proven, so the temperature field should be fine."

"So the relevant research direction should be to develop stable magnetic field devices and temperature field devices, rather than to improve technology and process."

"We are looking in the wrong direction, and it is no wonder that the progress of related research is very small."

"So, in order to reduce losses, I suggest that the first step is to stop all related projects, including cooperation projects with other institutions."

"Let's vote!"

"agree!"

"agree!"
