The technological empire begins with polymer materials

“The traffic is just amazing.”

Tan Qinggu looked excited and said to Gao Yuan: "The current number of visits to Kunlun Wendao has reached tens of millions per day. You know, we are a purely academic website, and it is completely in Chinese. We can have such popularity today only It can be described as terrifying.”

Gao Yuan nodded lightly. When the heat of this period subsides, Kunlun Wenzhou's traffic will inevitably drop. But in any case, the goal has been achieved, and far exceeded expectations.

As the popularity of Kunlun Question skyrocketed, more relevant domestic research institutions also extended an olive branch and granted copyright authorization to Kunlun Question in order to enrich the database.

In short, Gao Yuan's own efforts, coupled with the military's support and the help of other scientific research institutes, actually made Kunlun Dao a reality.

In the field of materials science, there are four top journals in the world, namely Nature, Science, Publications of the Chemical Society of North America, and Advanced Materials.

Nowadays, the academic community generally believes that due to the sudden appearance of Kunlun Wendao, the status of the four top journals in materials science has been completely shaken, and will even face the risk of reshuffling in the future.

Tan Qinggu said to Gao Yuan seriously: "I have two ideas now. First, resort to law, prosecute those who illegally translated your paper, and take them to court!"

"Second, taking advantage of the current opportunity, should we consider establishing an academic journal of our own based on Kunlun Wendao?"

Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I have just thought about the two questions you mentioned."

"First of all, don't rush to sue. We can just issue a statement and maintain the right to pursue responsibility. After all, it is not realistic for us to take legal channels for such large-scale translation and dissemination. Litigation also costs money, so we can't Sue the entire academic community."

"But we can maintain the right to pursue accountability. If there is a conflict with Western academic circles in the future, we can use this as a weapon to attack our opponents."

"As for the issue of journals, I completely agree with your idea. The right time, right place and right people should not only launch our own academic journal, but also strike while the iron is hot and launch it quickly. It is best to have it officially published next month."

“I don’t think the name should be changed, but we need to add a suffix, so let’s call it [Kunlun Wendao-Materials]. If we launch a physics journal in the future, it will be called [Kunlun Wendao-Physics], and so on. .”

Tan Qinggu was surprised by Gao Yuan's ambition. It seemed that he wanted to turn Kunlun Question into a large-scale comprehensive academic journal, and he did not just intend to focus on the major of materials science.

Every day after the Spring Festival is full and busy.

After Gao Yuan finished arranging the company's daily work, he, Xu Qingzhou and others went to Shuguang Research Institute, a subsidiary of Sinochem Group.

Thanks to Kunlun Company's series of high-profile actions since last year, Gao Yuan and others have already become famous. Moreover, before they came, the General Armament Department specially greeted them, so it was no surprise that they received an extremely grand reception.

Shuguang Research Institute is in the beautiful Guilin, and the reception dinner was held in a rather luxurious hotel by the river.

The local dishes in Guangxi are mainly sour and spicy, and have a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, I drank too much during the Chinese New Year in the plateau, which caused some sequelae and developed some aversion to alcohol.

In addition, he didn't like to be polite to others, so before the banquet was over, he sneaked out of the hotel quietly on the pretext of going to the toilet.

Thinking that Guilin's landscape is unparalleled in the world, I don't know what year or month I will come next. I walked down the steps from the plateau and wanted to see the night view by the river.

As a result, he met an acquaintance at the end of the stairs. His name seemed to be Li Changxing, one of the people accompanying Shuguangyuan and a technician.

Compared with those administrative staff, Li Changxing seemed to be a boring gourd. He was not good at talking. After introducing himself, he sat in the corner and drank wine.

"Boss Gao, do you smoke?"

Li Changxing was surprised, smiled a little reservedly, and handed over half a box of crumpled cigarettes, Yuxi brand.

"Thanks, I don't know how to smoke." Gao Yuan refused very politely.

Li Changxing didn't say anything more. He took out one and lit it. Judging from his skillful posture, he must be a long-time smoker.

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"Both of us are here to avoid drinking, so let's not flatter each other."

"Boss Gao is really interesting. I wonder what you think of your visit to our aviation tire laboratory this afternoon?"

Gao Yuan frowned and stared at the shadowy moonlight on the river, "Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to hear lies?"

Li Changxing was slightly startled, "Of course I want to hear the truth."

Gao Yuan shook his head, "No chance. Before I came here, I thought it was a problem with chemical materials. As long as the rubber base material, adhesive, vulcanizing agent, etc. are modified, we can produce tires that are as good as the Big Three, or even better than them." A better product.”

"But after looking around at your place, I realized that I was still too naive. The problem with tires is not just due to materials science. Even the machines used to make tires are also a lot different."

"Although I'm not a professional, based on my observation, the tire building machine that afternoon may have no problem making ordinary car tires. But if it is used to make aviation tires, the accuracy is probably far from enough."

Gao Yuan originally just said it casually, but Li Changxing couldn't hide his excitement. He slapped the railing by the river and said, "Boss Gao is indeed a genius of the generation. What you said is so right!"

"Aviation tires are almost completely monopolized by the three giants. When I was working in Japan, Bridgestone's molding machines were designed and manufactured independently, and the specific parameters were completely confidential."

“When it comes to the quality and chemical properties of the base material, in fact, each company does a good job, especially the rubber base material of Germany’s Continental or the adhesive of Japan’s Yokohama, which are well-known names in the industry.”

"But in the real world, Bridgestone, Michelin, and Goodyear, the three tire giants, account for almost 50% of the global market share! The reason is that they have too much technology in their hands, and even their tires The molding machines are all developed by ourselves, and no matter how much money you spend, you can’t buy them on the market!”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "No pain, no gain. According to data from the global research company IDC, in 2019, the R\u0026D investment of Michelin in France and Bridgestone in Japan was around one billion US dollars, while Goodyear and Goodyear in North America Continental’s R\u0026D investment is US$500 million.”

"As for our country, Linglong Tire and Triangle Tire have the highest investment in R\u0026D, spending US$60 million each. Other manufacturers have invested even less and have almost no R\u0026D."

"Technology is fair. If a gap of dozens of times in R\u0026D investment is applied to products, the performance will naturally lag behind. And as time goes by, this technological gap will only get bigger and bigger."

"By the way, just now you said you worked in Japan?"

Li Changxing nodded, "I graduated with a PhD from the University of Tokyo, majoring in materials engineering, and then worked at Bridgestone for seven years."

Gao Yuan was slightly startled. He had a doctorate from Dongda University and had worked at Bridgestone for seven years. No wonder he was called by the leader today. He turned out to be a high-end talent.

Gao Yuan smiled, "Then why are you back? Shuguangyuan can't give you Bridgestone's treatment. I'm afraid your salary will drop a lot, right?"

Li Changxing nodded and said: "It has dropped a lot, but there is nothing we can do. My mother was ill last year."

Li Changxing explained why he returned to China. After hearing this, Gao Yuan suddenly felt a feeling of sympathy for each other. It turned out that Li Changxing's mother also had the same problem as Gao Yuan's father, cerebral infarction.

Speaking of which, cerebral infarction is a serious disease that can kill a person, and there is a high probability that there will be sequelae.

Comrade Gao Xiangnan's legs and feet are not very flexible, while Li Changxing's mother has injured her speech nerve and cannot speak. In addition, her legs and feet are not very agile, but it is not as serious as the language problem.

Li Changxing's father died early, and the mother and son depended on each other. Now that his mother was ill, and Li Changxing was a filial son, he chose to return to China without much thought.

After returning to China, Li Changxing was hired by Shuguang Institute and became the deputy chief engineer of the aviation tire project. In China, which is based on seniority, this is considered very unusual.

But Gao Yuan looked at Li Changxing's tone when talking about these things, and he probably wasn't very successful. After all, he was a deputy with limited rights, and the company he worked for was a large state-owned enterprise...

Gao Yuan and Li Changxing had a very lively chat. They stood by the river for half an hour, but everyone was so anxious that they kept calling him, so Gao Yuan and Li Changxing had to go back.

"Boss Gao has seen the current situation. What are you going to do?" Li Changxing asked seriously.

Gao Yuan scratched his hair, "Aviation tires are much more difficult than I expected, but I can't possibly go back to mechanical automation and build a new tire building machine, right?"

"So, I only have one choice left now."

"What do you mean?" Li Changxing looked very interested, but at the same time he was a little worried, fearing that Gao Yuan would back down.

"I plan to overthrow the current tire production process without leaving any trace behind." Gao Yuan said calmly while looking at the steps at his feet.
