Siheyuan: I eat melons while doing scientific research

Chapter 1438 Work is Coming (4k)

Although there are many polymerization methods for spinning solutions, Gao Zhendong chose the most commonly used and most researched solution polymerization method. He figured that trying to do too much at once would be counterproductive, and he would take it one step at a time.

The advantage of implementing only one aggregation method is that it eliminates the need to consider the influence of other methods or their respective advantages and disadvantages, allowing for a direct approach to implementation. After all, it would be unrealistic to attempt other methods before even implementing the most commonly used ones.

Looking at the already very detailed information, Engineer Pan felt that it was time to show his true skills!
Solvent selection, initiator selection, monomer concentration, reaction temperature and time, monomer selection, falling ball viscosity of the stock solution, relative molecular mass...

Looking at the dazzling array of research results and considerations, Engineer Pan was certain that, while he didn't know about it abroad, at least domestically, no one had researched it to this extent, even if this was just the first step in spinning solution, and even if they didn't know if all of these things were correct.

Too thorough, too detailed, and the result is too clear.

Although I don't know how Committee Member Gao came up with this research, his understanding of spinning solution was definitely ahead of its time.

"Chief Engineer Gao, I'll go back and finalize things regarding the spinning solution." For him, this was a very easy matter, since everything had already been explained so clearly. As long as the route was correct, there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Gao Zhendong nodded. Taking it one step at a time is a good idea, especially since there are many more steps later on that are not even within Engineer Pan's area of ​​expertise.

This is a very complex matter involving many different specialties, and it is even directly related to the textile industry. Moreover, it is not only related to the spinning of carbon cloth, but also inseparable from the production of raw yarn.

"By the way, go back and organize these professionals." Gao Zhendong wrote down a few professions.

“Committee Member Gao, these…” Engineer Pan really wants to do this. The more he does, the more he can learn and the more comprehensive his understanding of the process will be.

However, despite his thoughts, he didn't expect that Gao Zhendong would actually avoid interfering whenever possible.

Gao Zhendong seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled, "I don't have time to do these things. I suppose you are a large research institute under the ministry, so organizing these resources shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" Engineer Pan was overjoyed; after all, this was a senior deputy commander-in-chief.

"Well, these things are a bit complicated, and I don't have time. Since you're okay with it, I'll leave it to you. Once you've organized the professional team, come find me again, okay?"

The spinning solution needs some time to prepare, and organizing manpower also takes time, but not too much. If it is arranged well, once the spinning solution is prepared, these subsequent related processes can be seamlessly connected, at least it won't be a situation where nothing is prepared.

"Okay, Committee Member Gao, leave this matter to us!"

Because he initially thought he was just a colleague working on ferrite, and that he wasn't the main character, he didn't bring a team with him. In fact, he didn't even have a team for this project.

But now the situation is quite different. The hospital must be overjoyed to know about this.
It's foreseeable that the core personnel will be assigned immediately and intensively. With the core personnel in place, the subsequent work will be much easier to carry out.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news," Gao Zhendong said with a smile.

"By the way, Committee Member Gao, once we start our work, we will inevitably need to test and evaluate whether the quality and parameter characteristics of the raw material meet the requirements. Could you please provide me with some relevant parameter requirements for this part? The methods are not important; we can conduct our own research. The main thing is the requirements. Once we have the basic requirements, we can start our work more easily."

If we haven't obtained the other process details yet, that's not a problem. But if there aren't clear requirements and standards for this part, we won't know whether the raw material will be useful in the end.

Therefore, he asked Gao Zhendong to provide at least one set of requirements.

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhendong realized it made sense, so he went and retrieved another document.

It wasn't that he was stingy; it was just that this whole thing was too thick, and presenting it all at once was neither scientific nor complex, and it was difficult to digest.

"Requirements and analytical methods for the structure of acrylonitrile copolymers".

As Pan looked at the stack of documents and listened to Gao Zhendong's introduction, he compared them with the previous document on "acrylonitrile solution polymerization" and a question arose in his mind.

How far has Committee Member Gao progressed? Could it be that he's successfully paved the way for the entire project?
He couldn't help but make this connection, mainly because the content of these two documents was somewhat too complete and comprehensive.

Needless to say, solution polymerization is already well-defined in terms of requirements and analytical methods. The requirements are very clear, and the analytical methods are almost entirely provided. Although it doesn't go into detail about how to conduct each step of the analytical process, the theory and basic methods are very clear.

Some of it even involves pure theoretical analysis and calculation. Anyone who has studied chemistry knows that in chemistry, those who can incorporate calculations, even if it's just introducing empirical formulas, are almost always top-notch. After all, early chemistry was known as the "humanities of the sciences."

Polymerization reactivity ratio, polymerization rate, copolymer composition and sequence analysis, copolymer structure and property characterization...

It can be said that the research on spinning solution has been very thorough, and it is by no means just starting a research project and finding a technical route.

While Mr. Pan may not be a chef who can cook dishes, he is certainly qualified to be a gourmet.

If I can't cook, can't I at least taste the flavors?
As a "foodie," he could tell that at least the two parts in his hands were complete, a set, and a systematic whole.

This gave rise to an idea that he could hardly believe.

—Did Committee Member Gao really complete it?
It's quite normal to have this idea after going through the first two steps, because those two steps are so complete and clear.

It's important to understand that the entire process of developing a new material is interconnected and influences each other. If a later stage isn't completed to a certain extent, even the earlier stages can't be finalized. This is because if a later stage encounters a problem that can't be solved in the current stage, it may be necessary to adjust the earlier stages to resolve the issue.

Therefore, the fact that these two parts are so complete inevitably led him to have this idea.

However, seeing Gao Zhendong's smiling face, he didn't voice his thoughts. It was indeed a great thing, but since Committee Member Gao himself didn't mention it, there was no need to ask whether his judgment was true or false. What if Gao had made arrangements?

So he simply held the two documents in his hands with great affection and said to Gao Zhendong, "Committee Member Gao, I will go back immediately, report to the institute and the ministry, organize manpower, and at the same time start the preparation of this first step of spinning solution!"

Gao Zhendong nodded and then said to him, "Okay, then you can go ahead and get busy. Oh, and remember to go to the second office on the left to complete the formalities when you leave, otherwise you won't be able to leave with these things."

I know this without you saying it. Without the proper procedures, not even ashes from this place could get out, let alone paper. An hour later, Engineer Pan took the documents he had obtained from Gao Zhendong to his superior and happily placed them on the leader's desk.

"Boss, time to work!"
-
In the cold wind of the first month of the lunar calendar, in the courtyard of a township government site on the outskirts of Beijing, a middle-aged man was shouting.

"Old Zou! Old Zou, are you ready?"

"Township head, we're ready! We're ready! Look!"

He pointed outside the compound and saw several heavy-duty trucks, a tractor, a minivan, and even a vehicle that wouldn't be seen much decades later.

"Wow, Lao Zou, you're really reliable! So many vehicles! You even got the sidecar motorcycles from the township security office? Impressive!"

Old Zou was quite proud of himself: "That's right, there are a lot of people, and they're here for our 'double rural service' program, so we have to do everything we can to treat them well. You don't know, this scooter is a real treasure for the police, but as soon as they heard about this, they lent it to us without hesitation, along with the driver."

The township head laughed when he heard this. He said that this vehicle was a large number of vehicles that had been replaced by the military. Although it was an old vehicle, the military's equipment was in excellent condition, regardless of its age.

In rural areas, this thing is sometimes even more powerful than a minivan because it is lighter and relatively smaller, and can go to more places than a minivan.

"Alright, then let's go welcome the comrades who are going to the countryside."

"Alright!" the comrades responded in unison.

The cross-country truck led the way, followed closely by the minivan, and then the tractor slowly caught up with a "clattering" sound.

As for the several fuel-powered vehicles, they arrived later, but that's alright, they were there to pick up luggage, so being a little slow doesn't matter.

At their destination, a group of people were waiting for people from various towns and villages.

Two of them were familiar faces, chatting together.

"Rain, I didn't expect you to come down too. Don't you still have six months until you graduate from high school?"

"Hehe, the school is encouraging us high school students to go to the countryside to teach and support rural education, right? I thought it was a great idea, so I came. And there are regulations that if you participate in going to the countryside to teach for a year, you'll get extra points on your exams when you go back."

The two are He Yushui and Pang Shuixian.

He Yushui looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before whispering in Pang Shuixian's ear, "Sister Pang, don't laugh at me. Actually, this is the main reason I came."

When they lived in the courtyard house, their relationship was merely that of nodding acquaintances. However, they both participated in the "Double Rural Service" program and were assigned to the same place. The slight sense of unease in the unfamiliar environment naturally brought the two, who were originally neighbors, closer together.

Anyway, Pang Shuixian has no conflict with the He family. Xu Damao and Shazhu don't get along, so what does it have to do with me, Pang Shuixian?

Given Pang Shuixian's experience, if she wanted to, it would be too easy for her to befriend a girl like He Yushui. So, after the two met on the bus during their trip to the countryside, they became close within half a day.

He Yushui's whisper made Pang Shuixian laugh.

"Never mind why, the fact that you're willing to come is already amazing. It's not mandatory. Even if you're doing it for extra points, it shows you want to get into a good school and are trying your best. That's enough, no one can laugh at you. As for me, I don't even have the opportunity to take the college entrance exam..."

At this point, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Sister Pang, don't say that. If I had to admire someone, I would admire you the most. You even passed the barefoot doctor exam, which is much better than me."

Compared to volunteers who send teachers to rural areas, who all have high school education grades as a guarantee, the other part of the "double rural service" program—sending medical services to rural areas—is not so simple.

There is a shortage of medical personnel, and unlike the rural education program, there are no performance-based criteria. Therefore, deciding which personnel to send as "medical" personnel to rural areas has become a problem.

Fortunately, as a traditional method, the examination system still has its place.

It's simple, just take an exam. If you pass, you'll go to the countryside.

As for what the exam will cover, that's easy. There's a readily available "Concise Handbook for Primary Care Physicians." If you can pass the exam on the content in this book, you'll basically be able to continue your career.

Unlike sending teachers to rural areas, which is not mandatory and there is no competition for the opportunity, sending medical personnel to rural areas really requires qualifications, and there is a lot of competition for the opportunity.

"Hey, what's the big deal? Just memorize it. It's not like you guys have so much math, physics, and chemistry. I have to thank Teacher Lou in the courtyard for being able to read. I even borrowed a book from you, don't you remember? Hahaha." Pang Shuixian was very talkative, a completely different person from her in the courtyard.

His face was filled with joy, and his eyes sparkled. Unlike others, who, no matter how actively they sought it, still felt some worry and discomfort when they first arrived in the countryside.

But she didn't. The look on her face at that moment was like that of a bird released into the forest freed from its cage, or a lost traveler who had finally found the broad road ahead.

"Hey, Sister Pang, if you go down like this, won't Brother Xu at home have any objections?"

She barely managed to swallow back the full name "Xu Damao." Although at home she always called him Xu Damao, following her brother's example, it sounded a bit like pointing at a monk and cursing a bald monk in front of Pang Shuixian.

Pang Shuixian laughed, her face beaming even more: "What could he possibly object to? Supporting the countryside is an honorable thing. Even if it's just for the meager income at home, I can still earn some income. The government provides room and board and subsidies, which can help supplement the family income quite a bit over the course of a year. This is also my work, this is called earning a living, and he can't control that."

You could tell she had changed a lot; she wouldn't have been able to say the words "self-reliance" before.

He Yushui thought it made some sense, but she couldn't help but wonder, even so, you don't need to be this happy. Among the people who went to the countryside, you are the happiest.
