In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 95 It's over! Principal Li is still trying to struggle after falling over.
"You have to come with me to find the principal and produce a batch first, and let the power research laboratory test it."

Liang Hongbin stood up and walked out without saying a word.

"Sure?"

After the two reported the situation to Li Rui, the principal said with a look of surprise, "Hurry up and do it. I'm just worried about how to get money from the department! Not to mention a 10% increase, even if it's a 5% increase, I can get at least 500 million from the department! No, 1000 million!"

It is related to the range of intercontinental strategic missiles.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a rocket or not. After all, that thing can only launch satellites and verify missile technology. In Principal Li’s eyes, it is ultimately not as good as an intercontinental missile that can carry mushroom bombs.

If we can make the missiles deliver the mushroom bombs farther, we can get more money from the ministry.

The farther the east wind blows, the larger the area covered by truth.

The two of them stared at Li Rui without saying a word.

Li Rui reacted immediately: "You want money? All the money in the school account will be given to you first!"

"Principal, please write a note. The Finance Department will give you the money only after seeing the note."

Kang Yi directly asked Li Rui to write a note.

"Am I such a dishonest person? I'll write it right away and get it done quickly! Give me the test results as soon as possible. After we get the funding, the Chemistry Department will take at least 30% of it, which will be used exclusively for research on related projects!"

While writing the note, Li Rui painted a rosy picture for Kang Yi.

"Tsk, this cake is not as good as the one Xie Wei drew!"

Kang Yi felt contempt in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

As long as we don't talk about money, the principal is still credible.

Thinking that people from 601 and 611 would arrive soon, Li Rui was cautious and did not give all the 90 yuan in the school's small treasury to Kang Yi. He only wrote 30 yuan.

"Take these funds first, and come back to me if you don't have enough."

This is the principal's credibility!

Kang Yi and Liang Hongbin looked at each other, said nothing, and took the note to the finance department to transfer the money.

"That's good now. As long as we can make it and achieve the desired effect, we will have to take out the old leader's family fortune! If we change the fuel, the Great East Wind will be able to blow to the center of the American Empire!"

After the two left, Principal Li sighed with pride on his face.

As the head of a unit under the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building, Principal Li was clear about which technical areas needed to be focused on in some confidential documents issued by superiors.

Fuels with high energy density are definitely of top priority.

As a university integrating scientific research and talent training, the projects assigned by the Seventh Ministry of Machine Building are not too difficult.

If the school develops various key technologies that can be used in missiles and rockets, it can directly receive additional funding from the ministry.

······
"Teacher Kang, didn't you tell us before that we are not allowed to touch that thing in the future?"

Kang Yi called Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long out of the laboratory.

Zhang Jingyan frowned as he asked the two to put down their current experiments and focus on the research of chlorine trifluoride.

That thing is too dangerous.

Not only is it extremely poisonous, it will explode if it comes into contact with water.

Zhang Jingyan himself was not very interested in chemistry, but he needed half a pound of food and two cents of experimental allowance every day.

"Teacher Kang, it's fine to continue the experiment with chlorine trifluoride. Isn't the coating of the rice cooker liner more urgent? And you asked us to focus on synthetic flavors before..."

Tang Long had a headache.

There are several different types of experiments, and he is interested in all of them and finds them very interesting to study.

All three focus on the impossible.

However, Kang Yi's attitude of changing the focus just after they had been doing it for a while was a little hard for him to accept.

"At present, the main focus is on chlorine trifluoride, and the other two will be left to Xie Wei."

Kang Yi didn't explain to the two of them.

Whether chlorine trifluoride can really improve the energy density of liquid propellants requires a lot of experiments.

In the entire laboratory, only two people were familiar with the experimental experience of chlorine trifluoride, and the other students had no exposure to it.

This kind of thing, which is related to the range of intercontinental missiles, is more important than any other project.

After returning to the laboratory, Tang Long immediately began to prepare for the research work on chlorine trifluoride.

Zhang Jingyan was in a heavy mood. After pondering for a long time, he made up his mind and ran to Xie Wei, who was testing the solubility of polytetrafluoroethylene with various solvents. He waited until Xie Wei stopped the work at hand before speaking nervously:
"Squad leader, I have something to discuss with you..."

Looking at Zhang Jingyan's expression, Xie Wei thought that he might have encountered some difficulties, so he directly asked Zhang Jingyan to talk to him outside.

Zhang Jingyan took out a crumpled Pegasus cigarette from his pocket, with only three cigarettes left in it.

He took the wrinkled cigarette and lit it with the match Zhang Jingyan had struck.

As soon as I took a puff, I found that the smoke tasted wrong: it had the smell of over-fermentation.

expired!
The pack of cigarettes that Zhang Jingyan gave out to everyone at the beginning of the school year?
He wanted to throw it away, but was afraid of hurting Zhang Jingyan's face. Helplessly, he could only hold the cigarette in his mouth without smoking, letting it burn slowly.

Zhang Jingyan lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

As Xie Wei waited, he seemed to have made up his mind and said to Xie Wei seriously: "Squad leader, I don't want to study chemistry!"

"???"

"Cough~cough~cough~"

Xie Wei was so surprised that he was choked by the smoke.

If you don’t want to study chemistry, look for a teacher instead of yourself.

After calming down, Xie Wei asked Zhang Jingyan in confusion: "Boss, haven't you and your second brother been doing pretty well recently? Jasmine essence and soluble polytetrafluoroethylene both have broad prospects. Once the formula and process are stable, you can write a whole paper..."

As long as you continue to conduct in-depth research on these two things, you will definitely be a big name in the industry, and it will not be a problem for you to obtain the title of academician!
Either one will be very important in the future.

"I don't have the talent for chemistry, nor do I have Tang Long's enthusiasm and passion for chemistry."

Zhang Jingyan took a deep breath and interrupted Xie Wei's description of the prospects.

Seeing Xie Wei's puzzled expression, he said embarrassedly: "I did it for the subsidy..."

Xie Wei sighed silently.

Silent.

Wait for Zhang Jingyan to continue.

"I want to study metal materials in the field of mechanical manufacturing. Even with your advice on chemistry, I still have a hard time dealing with many things. Synthetic flavors and soluble polytetrafluoroethylene are actually Tang Long's... I can only help. No matter how hard I try, not only can I not catch up with Tang Long, but I hate chemistry more and more..."

Already feeling sick of chemistry?

Xie Wei understood what Zhang Jingyan meant.

The other party hoped to switch to the metal materials major, but because I was the one who got him into the chemistry laboratory, he discussed it with me first.

Xie Wei also knew the other meaning: the other party did not want to give up the subsidy.

"Okay, I'll think of a way. Boss, but you have to help me perfect the formula and process of soluble polytetrafluoroethylene and fragrance first."

Xie Wei made no guarantees.

Even so, Zhang Jingyan was very happy: "Thank you, squad leader! I really..."

"Okay, I'm the squad leader. Besides, you guys call me Sixth Brother!"

Xie Wei threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.

Damn, even if you don’t actually smoke expired cigarettes, the taste of them in your mouth is unpleasant.

at the same time.

Peng Siyuan, head of the Finance Department, went to the principal's office with a remittance slip for 60 yuan.

"If you have money, just deposit it directly into your account. Why are you looking for me?"

Principal Li is currently busy organizing information about the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.

He needs to find a way to get approval from his superiors to resume enrollment in these majors.

Otherwise, if the school relies on recruiting students for other majors and then selecting students to study in majors that are not recruiting students, not only will the number of students be small, but also there will be too few people assigned after graduation, which will be difficult for employers to explain.

The chief financial officer came with the remittance slip to ask for instructions on how to deal with it, and Principal Li answered without even thinking.

"Principal, Huadu Oil and Chemical Factory has never had any dealings with the school. If the money was transferred to the wrong person..."

Peng Siyuan looked at the principal speechlessly.

It is easy to record the money.

What if someone makes a mistake in the remittance and needs to transfer it out? How much trouble will that be?

"Huadu Oil and Fat Chemical Factory?"

When Principal Li heard that the money came from Huadu Oil and Chemical Plant, he smiled.

Looking at the worried head of the finance department:

"Just deposit it directly into the account. The school-enterprise joint office has cooperation with them, so there won't be any problem."

Even though he knew that the cooperation had not yet been reached and the money had entered the school account, Principal Li had no intention of asking for the money back.

Of the 90 yuan in the school's slush fund, 30 yuan was allocated to the Chemical Engineering Department for rocket fuel research, leaving only 60 yuan, which was not enough to start up fighter jet-related projects.

This money just solved Principal Li’s urgent needs.

Why would I need to spend my own money to buy things for Du Guowang?

There is no need to say anything nice to that unreasonable boy Xie Wei.

As for the part promised to be allocated to the school-enterprise joint office, Principal Li had already selectively forgotten about it. At most, it could be counted as the profit that the school-enterprise joint office would hand over to the school next year.

"Many of Xie Wei's projects are now short of money. The 40 yuan from Hongguang Factory has not been given to them..."

Peng Siyuan reminded Principal Li.

"Du Guowang still has 70 yuan! Let's wait until they spend it all!"

"..."

Seeing the principal's attitude, Peng Siyuan knew that persuasion was useless.

I can only sigh silently.

He was worried that the principal's behavior of robbing Peter to pay Paul would cause problems sooner or later.

······
As soon as Xie Wei and Zhang Jingyan returned to the laboratory, Kang Yi called Xie Wei to his office.

"I come?"

Xie Wei looked at Kang Yi in astonishment, "Have you made the fragrance?"

Kang Yi unscrewed the cap of the glass bottle containing jasmine essence and handed it to Xie Wei.

The rich scent of jasmine goes straight into my nose.

It's this taste.

After dilution, the smell will not be so strong. If dissolved in alcohol, glycerin, antioxidants, active agents, etc. are added, perfume can be made...

"Is this also done by Zhang Jingyan and Tang Long?"

The boss is indeed a boss!
I just opened a window for them, and they soon entered a world that ordinary people would find difficult to enter no matter how hard they tried.

Xie Wei only gave the general formula and process, and it took only more than two months in total.

Just now, Zhang Jingyan came to me and said that he had no talent and wanted to go to the metal materials research laboratory.

It turns out that geniuses all have different worldviews.

"Yes! We need to increase research on chlorine trifluoride."

Kang Yi nodded. It was Xie Wei who proposed using chlorine trifluoride as an oxidizer and fuel for propellants, so there was no need for explanation.

"No problem. Teacher Kang, how about letting Tang Long handle the chlorine trifluoride by himself, and Zhang Jingyan help me solve the other two items first?"

Xie Wei tried to test Kang Yi's attitude.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Jingyan's learning initiative is much stronger than the three graduate students under Kang Yi.

"Zhang Jingyan is looking for you?"

Xie Wei was about to deny it, but seeing Kang Yi's amused expression, he nodded silently. "Since you mentioned it, let's arrange it this way."

Kang Yi agreed so readily that the countless excuses Xie Wei had prepared were useless.

Seeing Xie Wei's surprise, Kang Yi explained with a smile:

"Zhang Jingyan is serious about his work and is very proactive in learning, which I admire. However, he has no passion for chemistry, which is different from He Yang. If he continues to stay in the chemistry lab, it will delay him."

Kang Yi's attitude made Xie Wei respect him.

The older generation of mentors are completely concerned about their students’ prospects and future.

"In fact, if he is not in the experimental class, I will not allow him to enter my laboratory and leave, unless he really can't learn it... Oh, Ye Li at level 75 and Qiao Tianyu at level 77, you can take them with you to the fragrance project..."

Kang Yi's added words made Xie Wei understand that Director Kang was keeping an eye on all the students who entered the laboratory.

"Director Kang, thank you."

Xie Wei bowed deeply to Kang Yi, just because of Kang Yi's attitude.

Back in the laboratory, Xie Wei found Ye Li, a worker-peasant-soldier student, who was 26 years old, petite, and had a lot of freckles on her face.

Qiao Tianyu is 24 years old and will be enrolled in March this year, majoring in applied chemistry.

These two people have almost no presence in the laboratory.

At least, before Kang Yi brought it up, Xie Wei only had the simplest impression of them.

"Ah? Can I participate in the fragrance project?"

Ye Li looked at Xie Wei with surprise.

Although Xie Wei is several years younger than her and is still her junior, she knew from the moment she entered the chemistry laboratory that the words of this junior in front of her were more effective in the laboratory than those of the chemistry teachers.

The chemical laboratory projects they are currently participating in were all initiated by Xie Wei.

"Don't you want to, Senior?"

"Yes! I really would! Thank you, squad leader. I have wanted to join the spice group for a long time."

Ye Li said excitedly.

Zhao Tianyu just nodded to indicate that he would follow Xie Wei's arrangements without saying anything.

"Boss, you can help them improve the formula and process of jasmine essence."

When it comes to understanding the manufacturing process and formula of fragrances, Xie Wei is definitely better than Tang Long and Zhang Jingyan.

However, when it comes to the specific preparation process and precautions, Xie Wei's hands-on ability may not be comparable to the other two.

Tang Long will soon "disappear".

In the morning, a chemistry lecturer in his early forties began to lead Tang Long in research on chlorine trifluoride, and they moved to the adjacent laboratory, where there were only the two of them.

Xie Wei knew that Kang Yi was giving Tang Long a intensive course on basic knowledge in preparation for his "disappearance".

Zhang Jingyan had to go to the metal materials room again as there were more spices that needed to be made.

Xie Wei would not confine himself to the chemistry laboratory forever.

You have to prepare in advance.

Soon, Xie Wei devoted himself to the physical and chemical analysis and formula improvement of perfluoroalkyl compounds.

At the same time, he also needs to participate in discussions about chlorine trifluoride, flavor formulas, and processes from time to time, and his days become busy again.

Although 611 is farther away, the technical backbones supporting the school arrived earlier than those from 601.

The team is still led by Director Song.

"Principal Li, the first batch of technical backbones consists of 17 people in total, covering various fields of fighter design, including two radar technical backbones. I wonder how the school arranged it?"

The group has just arrived and is now waiting in the conference room for the school’s arrangements.

"The current conditions are somewhat difficult, and everyone will have to work hard for a while..."

Principal Li said somewhat embarrassedly.

"No matter how difficult the conditions are, they are much better than before when we lived in tents and ate sorghum steamed buns! Moreover, the conditions for scientific research are much better now than before."

Director Song didn't mind the difficult conditions. "It's just that the funding..."

"Don't worry! The 100 million yuan start-up fund has been prepared and will be used for a specific purpose. When the comrades from 601 arrive, we will discuss how to allocate personnel and funds."

Principal Li, who has money in his hands, is very proud at this moment.

“Doesn’t the school already have a project?”

Director Song was stunned.

Now that we have a project, what else is there to discuss?
Just assign people to the project team directly.

Li Rui saw that he had let the cat out of the bag and hurriedly changed the subject. "Well, I have some work that needs to be dealt with urgently. I'll have someone take the comrades to settle down first. I'll welcome everyone with the relevant school leaders in the evening."

After saying this, without waiting for Director Song's reaction, he told Yuan Zhenyue to take the people in Room 601 to settle down in the prepared dormitory first.

"basement?"

After arriving at the accommodation location, everyone in 601 was stunned.

The school actually arranged for them to live in the basement of the student dormitory.

Each room has to accommodate 12 people!

"Everyone, I'm very sorry. The school's dormitories are tight, so the only vacant room is in the basement... The principal said that everyone should stay here temporarily, and the logistics will be adjusted for you later."

Yuan Zhenyue tried his best to stay calm and explained to everyone.

The principal did not come in person to settle the matter, not because he did not care, but because he was afraid of being beaten.

After all, the school does not have any fighter-related projects now.

"Okay, the conditions here are much better than when we first arrived in Chengdu. The weather in the Northeast is cold, but the basement is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Let's pack up first."

Director Song sighed.

It doesn’t matter if the conditions are simple, as long as the project can go on.

But Li Rui's attitude gave Director Song a bad feeling.

The day after the people from Room 601 arrived, another group of people arrived, which stunned Principal Li.

People from Institute 607 are here!

There were more than ten people in the group.

The team was led by Zhu Kexin, deputy director of the General Office of Institute 607. Deputy Director Zhu told President Li that they were invited to support the school's pulse Doppler radar development work.

Principal Li did not bother to ask who invited the other party. He first asked Yuan Zhenyue to place the group in the guesthouse and immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"The Third Ministry of Machine Building is taking advantage of us! They throw all the projects at us. How much energy and money does a complete radar project require?"

Liu Debao said with a frown.

The school has radar technology research, but its scale cannot be compared with that of 607, which has professional radar research.

In his opinion, the Third Ministry of Machine Building had too many projects to undertake and did not have any large or medium-sized transport aircraft, refueling aircraft, early warning aircraft, etc.

Fighter planes and bombers are far behind.

In such a situation, the demand for funds is naturally huge.

This is for the school's funding!
"It shouldn't be that serious. The 607th Institute shouldn't be short of funds. Also, if the Third Ministry of Machine Building asked them to come, they couldn't have failed to inform the school."

Vice President Zhang Mingqiu does not agree with Liu Debao's statement.

"We can't chase them away if they come. But if they stay, there will be a problem with funding..."

Peng Siyuan looked at the principal.

The development of the 607 radar by the 204 Institute has entered the late prototype testing stage, and the subsequent improvement and carrier aircraft experiments will consume a lot of funds.

The amount of funding from higher authorities was not much to begin with, and it had already been misappropriated by the principal, leaving a large gap.

There was only 120 million in the slush fund, and 100 million was used as start-up capital for the fighter jet project...

"Could it be that the people from 607 want to cooperate better with 112? The school is closer to Shencheng. Moreover, the costs can also be passed on to the school."

Zhang Mingqiu expressed his opinion.

These words immediately made everyone feel even more depressed: that amount of funding was simply not enough.

Everyone looked at the principal.

The principal was just bragging: In order to trick 601 and 611 into providing technical backbone, the principal said that he would develop a pulse Doppler radar based on the 204 radar.

To this end, the radar rooms of both units 601 and 611 will provide technical backbones.

Now professionals in radar have arrived with their technology and backbone personnel.

All I need is money!

"Well, this is good for the development of the school..."

"What about the funding?"

Peng Siyuan didn't care that the principal was his superior and interrupted Li Rui in a cold voice, "Principal, you asked the Finance Department to prepare the funds and promised to give priority to the Chemistry Department's research on chlorine trifluoride. I learned that one kilogram of chlorine trifluoride costs several thousand yuan, and a large-scale reaction device must be manufactured. I don't know how much that will cost."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, looked at everyone's reactions, and then continued with a dark face:
"If the school-enterprise joint operation cannot find a suitable chemical factory to cooperate with, the school will have to invest in setting up a factory... All of this costs money!"

Everyone looked at the principal with strange expressions.

From the moment he took office as principal, Principal Li, who came from a military background, adopted a tough style and turned the school into a one-man show.

If Li Rui had not done everything for the development of the school and had not achieved certain results, everyone would have wanted to become the number one military engineering school in the country and would have overthrown President Li long ago.

At this moment, Principal Li was extremely embarrassed.

It's just a funding issue. Plus, his deception of 601 and 611 was about to be exposed, so Principal Li called everyone together to discuss countermeasures.

The unexpected arrival of the 607 team let Principal Li know that the situation was somewhat out of control.

"Well, yesterday and today, Director Song kept urging me to let them join the project development..."

"..."

Everyone looked at Principal Li with twitching lips.

Overturned!
"No matter what, once you're here, don't think about leaving. As for the funding, we'll allocate a portion to each project first. After all, at the beginning, the demand for funding is not large."

Principal Li felt that the problem could be solved if it was delayed.

Over the years, most scientific research projects have been short of funds. Isn't that how they have survived?

The key is to put up the frame first.

"607's 204 radar has not been successful yet!"

Peng Siyuan's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

If there is not enough funding, the person who will suffer the most is me, the person in charge of the school's purse.

"That has nothing to do with the school! The 204 radar is a project of the 607. They have funding support from the Third Ministry of Machine Building and the Air Force... The school's project is new, so let's work on the theory first!"

Seeing that no one was helping him to come up with a solution, Principal Li directly came up with his own idea.

"..."

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this moment, Director Song had already arrived at the guesthouse and found Director Zhu, the leader of Team 607.

"Director Song, why are you here too?"

Director Zhu was a little surprised, "Isn't the school cooperating with 611?"

"It is cooperating with both of us..."

The two were already familiar with each other because of the radar project.

The J-611 project being worked on by 9 also required advanced radar, and 607, which was not far away, had frequent exchanges with them on radar.

"Director Song, have you noticed that the school's attitude is a little strange?"

After the greetings, Director Zhu raised his doubts.

"That's why I came to you."
