The Courtyard House: He Yuzhu, Who Defied Fate

For example, why did the machine tool immediately reward you for the things you gave me before?

Because you did more than one? And I, along with the workers in the Ministry of Industry, have verified it.

So you were given a reward on the spot.

As for enemy spies, we've confirmed they are indeed enemy spies, and we've already rewarded you. If I hadn't been holding back and included your recordings in the count, I would have rewarded you long ago.

As for the weapon you invented, although there are physical prototypes, they need to be tested in various environments. If there are no problems, you will be rewarded according to your different contributions.

Therefore, rewards are a must, so you don't need to worry. Moreover, your rewards are given to you by national regulations, and every reward comes with a certificate and proof.

Even if you are rewarded with millions or tens of millions, it is something you deserve, understand?

As for the rewards for the double converter steelmaking method, they are really huge, almost the same as the rewards for machine tools.

And it's even bigger, since that's the foundation.

The increase in steel production is enormous. This single method of steelmaking has accelerated our country's development by thirty to fifty years.

Of course, these are all inferences from experts.

After all, no other country has introduced this steelmaking method. Other countries only have the oxygen bottom-blowing steelmaking method, which is also powerful, but it is still far inferior to your steelmaking method.

So everyone knows your achievements. We're not living in the feudal society of the past anymore, so you don't need to worry about your merits overshadowing your superiors.

Besides, you're just a technical talent, so there's no question of you being too influential and threatening your superiors. Just focus on your research.

I hope you will become our country's Einstein, our country's Edison, our country's Tesla.

So don't worry too much about these things, just take good care of yourself.

This is what the instructor meant; although it's not his exact words, it conveys the same idea.

Just focus on your research!

However, there was something Gu Zhi Qiu didn't say: if He Yuzhu were lured to Western countries by others, he would receive a thousand times more than he does now.

Gu Zhi Qiu was aware of this situation, which is why many people are keeping He Yu Zhu's affairs and identity a secret.

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Alright, is there anything else, Director?"

He Yuzhu knew that he needed to expand his industrial scope, which meant developing petrochemicals.

After all, to increase automobile production, it is necessary to develop synthetic rubber, synthetic fibers, and synthetic resins.

Basic organic chemical raw materials such as gasoline, kerosene, and diesel are also indispensable.

Therefore, He Yuzhu plans to enter the petrochemical industry this year.

After that, we'll move on to automobile manufacturing and the electronics and information industry.

He Yuzhu knew that he couldn't possibly complete everything himself, but he only needed to get the basics done.

Furthermore, if theoretical knowledge is developed, then the country will have countless talented individuals who can carry it forward and develop it.

He Yuzhu didn't have the ability to get all of this done, and it would be time before everything was on track.

Therefore, He Yuzhu still needs to study and improve his skills.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, and knowing that all this knowledge was available in chemistry, he only needed to synthesize the raw materials.

Moreover, the raw materials for petrochemicals are very simple: oil and natural gas.

Once you get these two out, all you need to do is get the things out yourself.

Then just hand it over to the country to carry it forward.

Knowing that He Yuzhu's reward would arrive in a few days, Gu Zhi Qiu didn't disturb He Yuzhu, and then said:

"Okay, is there anything else you need?"

He Yuzhu talked about petrochemicals:

"Yes, I need oil and natural gas!"

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi was taken aback, then asked:

"Are you going to cook? Besides, unrefined petroleum can't be used!"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"I know, but if I want to get into car manufacturing, I need rubber, but right now our country relies entirely on imports for rubber."

Raw materials for synthetic rubber can be extracted from petroleum and natural gas.

"We have natural gas and oil in our own country. As long as we develop this technology, we won't need to import rubber from abroad!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi naturally understood that synthetic rubber existed in various other countries, but these were all classified information.

"The government is also studying this now," Gu Zhiqi asked.

"Are you sure?"

He Yuzhu nodded:

"Of course, once you bring in the raw materials, I'll verify them using the previous theories. If there are no problems, then I can hand them over to you!"

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi said:

"Okay, that's easy. How much do you need? I'll give you that much, and I'll go get it for you right now!"

Gu Zhiqi naturally knew the importance of synthetic rubber.

He Yuzhu, with his level 8 chemistry background, can naturally synthesize both general-purpose and specialty rubbers.

However, it's a bit far-fetched to conjure rubber out of thin air so easily; some experiments are definitely necessary.

Moreover, He Yuzhu had never conducted any experiments; all the knowledge came from the system. Therefore, He Yuzhu planned to conduct some experiments on these rubbers.

Examples include styrene-butadiene rubber, butadiene rubber, isoprene rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, chloroprene rubber, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, fluororubber, etc.

He Yuzhu knew all these principles; the only problem was how to implement them.

Once it's synthesized, the rest is up to the government to build its own factories.

Gu Zhi Qiu was about to leave when she asked:

What equipment do you need?

He Yuzhu shook his head:

"No need, I can make whatever equipment I need myself!"

He Yuzhu knew that many pieces of equipment were very difficult for the country to obtain, but whatever he needed, all the raw materials were available here, so he didn't have to ask the country to get them.

The machines are laborious, but the raw materials are easy to obtain; we can basically manufacture them ourselves.

Upon hearing He Yuzhu's words, Gu Zhiqi felt that of all his researchers, He Yuzhu was the easiest to manage.

Everything requires raw materials. The country may not be able to get other things, but it can get all kinds of raw materials.

As long as there are raw materials, various technologies can be continuously provided.

Gu Zhi Qiu said:

"Okay, just tell us what raw materials you need. Even if I'm not here, someone will get them for you!"

After saying that, he rushed out in a hurry. As for other matters, he decided to put them aside for the time being, as He Yuzhu's matter was the most important.

After all, our country's rubber industry is now more than a hundred years behind that of other countries.

If He Yuzhu could catch up directly, that would be great, after all, petrochemicals are one of the three major industries.

These three industries are needed in every aspect of other sectors.

He Yuzhu looked at the excited Gu Zhiqi, smiled but didn't say anything, and continued to tidy up his office.

After finishing his work, it was almost time to leave. He Yuzhu didn't care how busy Gu Zhiqi was, and instead leisurely rode his bicycle home for dinner.

In the afternoon, I slowly tidied up my lab, since the materials had arrived and I needed to conduct experiments.

The next day, after He Yuzhu arrived on his bicycle, Gu Zhiqi brought a lot of raw materials. If there hadn't been too much space here, there would probably have been even more.

Seeing so many raw materials, Gu Zhiqi asked Lu:

"Is that enough? If not, I'll expand it for you!"

He Yuzhu nodded helplessly:

"Enough, enough, I'll start today!"

Chapter 136: Chen Xueru: How about finding another one?

After sending Gu Zhiqi away, He Yuzhu began his experiment.

He Yuzhu had all the steps in mind; all he needed to do was recreate them in reality.

He Yuzhu began synthesizing the catalyst, and then began refining it.

Organize all the data, steps, and catalyst formulation.

There are also various synthetic rubber formulations.

Through He Yuzhu's experiments, he synthesized all sorts of rubbers.
