The host, please be more restrained! The Strategic Propaganda Bureau can no longer make up stories

Chapter 157: Family members don’t talk behind each other’s backs

At this moment, the Equipment Design Bureau is close to a three-court trial.

After hearing about this, the middle and senior leaders of the bureau all came to the conference room.

Li Yunfei looked at the crowd, scratched his head, and asked in confusion: "Director, is it illegal to use carbon fiber to build a car body in our country?"

When Zhao Zhenghe heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched and he said, "This... is not illegal!"

"It's not illegal, but you made such a big scene, it scared me to death."

"You kid, are you pretending to be ignorant? I ask you where did you get so much carbon fiber?"

"The Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory under my name produces it independently. Otherwise, that thing is so expensive, who can afford it?" Li Yunfei couldn't help but complain.

Before, carbon fiber has been monopolized by Europe, the United States and Japan, and the price is very expensive.

However, because this material has good performance, light weight, high hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, it can be said to be the best choice for producing fishing rods.

Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory used to import products, but later found that they could not afford it.

A fishing rod costs 2,000 yuan, of which 800 yuan is used for imported carbon fiber, plus other materials and labor costs.

The manufacturer sells a fishing rod and his own net profit is less than a hundred. Who can bear this?
Forced into a corner, they started to tackle the production technology of carbon fiber, and finally mastered it a year ago, solving the import problem.

Zhao Zhenghe laughed immediately after hearing what Li Yunfei said, "Good boy, I knew you still had some good treasures on you that you hadn't taken out yet!"

"Since you have mastered the production technology of carbon fiber, why are you hiding it from us?"

"Today's matter involves confidential information. Everyone in the meeting must sign a confidentiality agreement."

“By the way, tell the Air Force leaders that we have mastered the production technology of carbon fiber!”

After hearing what the director said, Li Yunfei immediately quit.

He slammed the table, angrily.

"Director, that's carbon fiber from my Guangwei Fishing Tackle Factory. We have to respect intellectual property rights. This is not the scientific research result of our factory."

Zhao Zhenghe looked at Li Yunfei and instantly changed the way he addressed him. He said amiably with a smile, "Nephew, we are family and should not have different opinions."

"Your technology is my technology, and my technology is... Even if I give it to you, you wouldn't dare to take it!"

"We are all family, how can you hold us back? Besides, we are not unwilling to pay for the carbon fiber."

What?
Give money?

Pay the money and we can talk!
Li Yunfei then stopped worrying about the issue of intellectual property rights.

He asked curiously, "Uncle, don't you have this carbon fiber production technology?"

"Well, this is under research, but it's not available at the moment."

"But that's not a problem. We have it now. By the way, you can stay in the bureau today."

"You still need to cooperate and coordinate on this carbon fiber matter." Zhao Zhenghe said righteously.

Carbon fiber is great for car bodies, but it's also great for fighter jet bodies.

The Air Force has been eyeing carbon fiber for a long time.

The research and development progress of carbon fiber has become a daily question for Air Force leaders.

"How long will it take for our domestically produced carbon fiber to be successfully developed and mass-produced?"

The secretary listened to this question, sighed helplessly in his heart, and said: "Leader, we are speeding up the progress."

"We asked the Equipment Design Bureau yesterday, and they are working on the polyacrylonitrile base and expect to achieve success within half a year."

According to the raw material system, carbon fiber can be roughly divided into three categories: viscose-based, asphalt-based and polyacrylonitrile-based.

These three types have different usage scenarios and production methods. Due to its high carbon yield and excellent performance, polyacrylonitrile currently occupies the dominant market share of carbon fibers.

After hearing this, the Air Force leader could not help but complain: "Within half a year, we have been one step behind, and every step is slow." "We are still trying to solve the problem of whether there is one or not, while overseas countries are working on small-tow carbon fiber, and it is said that they are about to achieve scientific research results."

Carbon fiber is composed of many parallel filaments, so it is also called carbon fiber tow.

The number of tows refers to the limited number of single fibers in each bundle of carbon fiber, which is represented by k.

1k represents 1000 single filaments. Generally speaking, 1k, 3k, 6k, 12k, and 24k are called small tows, while 48k, 60k, 80k, 120k and above are called large tows.

Small tow carbon fiber is aerospace-grade carbon fiber. Because of its higher tensile properties, high production cost and high purity, it is often used in the aerospace field.

Large tow is industrial-grade carbon fiber. Because of its low purity and high cost-effectiveness, it is usually used in industrial fields such as medical equipment, electromechanical, and civil construction.

At present, carbon fiber has been produced domestically and small-tow carbon fiber has been mass-produced abroad.

According to the current progress of scientific research, I really don’t know how long it will take to completely close the gap.

"No matter what, we have to make carbon fiber, even if it takes five or ten years!"

"If I can't catch up with the gap with foreign countries, I will retire or die with my eyes wide open!" said the Air Force leader in a firm tone.

Although currently, the United States is the only country engaged in small-tow carbon fiber research abroad.

Others are either giving up or being suppressed and not allowed to research.

That's also in foreign countries. The Flower-Growing Country has been number one for most of the past 5,000 years, so even if it has fallen to second or third place now, it has to catch up.

Not being able to regain the top spot on the list would be unacceptable to the Air Force leaders and even the vast majority of ordinary people.

The morning passed in the blink of an eye.

When the secretary saw the report sent to him by the Equipment Design Bureau, he was completely stunned and hesitated for a moment.

Yesterday they said that a breakthrough would take half a year, so why are they saying today that they have successfully developed it?

Is there something wrong with this report? Should I verify it again myself or report it to the leader now?

After a fierce ideological struggle, he handed over the report from the Equipment Design Bureau.

"Leader, a report has just been issued saying that their carbon fiber has been successfully developed."

"This report does not include the performance data of carbon fiber. I suspect there is a misunderstanding. Do you want me to verify it again?"

The Air Force leader looked at the report. He stared at the big red official seal of the Equipment Design Bureau at the end, and his eyes became sharp.

Since the official seal has been stamped, there must be nothing wrong with this matter.

"Do we have any important meetings this afternoon?"

"No, I just went to inspect the nearby troops."

"Okay, cancel the inspection, let's go to the Equipment Design Bureau instead. It would be best if they have carbon fiber. If not, let's urge them again!" said the Air Force leader decisively.

The secretary hesitated and asked, "Leader, we said a week ago that we would go to inspect the nearby troops."

"They've been preparing for a week, so wouldn't it be bad if I didn't go?"

"What's wrong? Don't think I don't know. They are happy when I don't go."

"By the way, please contact the Equipment Design Bureau and ask them which design institute made the breakthrough and produced carbon fiber?" The Air Force leader emphasized as he left the office.

Carbon fiber is particularly important for improving the performance of fighter jets, and he has planned to use this incident as an example to promote it.

"That's not a research institute, it's a fishing tackle factory called Guangwei. Our equipment design bureau doesn't know the details."

"What, a fishing tackle factory?"

The Air Force leader had a bold guess in his mind: "Look up the name of the owner of that fishing tackle factory."
