Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 514: Solve the human problem first
After lunch, while visiting the factory, Jiang Chen finally met Qin.

A clean-looking young man wearing glasses.

There is a gleam of wisdom in his eyes.

He is gentle and handsome.

It's just that his hair is messy and there are red bloodshot eyes, which somewhat affects his image.

Tan Yaozu shook his head and said unhappily, "You don't even know how to take care of your hair. It's like a mess."

"This is Dean Jiang, and that is Comrade You Fengxia."

Qin Qi scratched his head awkwardly: "Hello, Dean Jiang, hello, female comrade!"

It seems that this guy is really a tech geek. He didn't even react when he saw You Fengxia.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about small details. We are researchers, so why would we care if our hair is messy or not?"

"If I wasn't afraid of being accused of being a hooligan, sometimes I wouldn't even want to wear clothes."

Qin Qi nodded: "That's right, that's right! I always wear the same clothes every day, Xiuying scolded me many times but I couldn't change."

"After that, Xiuying put the clothes I was going to wear next to my bed every day."

When talking about his wife Tan Xiuying, a hint of gratitude flashed in Qin Qi's eyes.

Yes, it's gratitude.

It's neither love nor family affection.

Jiang Chen, who has eagle eyes, can see it clearly.

He was a little puzzled. Could it be that a pure technician didn't even have love?

It shouldn't be.

It is said that the more technical a person is, the more he desires a lover who is suitable for him and can provide support and understanding when needed.

Unless you can reach the level of Wei Shen, you will be completely indifferent to things outside of your profession.

But there are very few such people.

Once he appears, he is either a complete giant baby who has difficulty taking care of himself and is arrogant and conceited.

Or they are extremely talented and have achieved achievements that ordinary people cannot achieve.

But the reality is that there are many giant babies but very few geniuses.

I just don't know if Qin Qi is a genius or...
However, with Old Tan's vision, I don't think he would marry his daughter to a fool.

Then this Qin Qi should be a man of some ability. He must have some hidden motive for being so stubborn this time.

But these are just guesses. You will know after you go to each one for a while to see how it works.

Tan Yaozu shook his head: "Can you compare with Dean Jiang?"

"If you can do even one tenth of what he does, I'll let Xiuying feed you meals directly, not to mention clothes, and you won't have to worry about anything."

"I'll feed you."

Qin Qi had no expression on his face and said nothing.

Tan Yaozu took Jiang Chen and You Fengxia to visit the production line of the glass factory, and he gave a personal introduction.

Occasionally, when Jiang Chen asked more professional technical questions, Qin Qi would start to explain.

Although he didn't have many opportunities to speak, Jiang Chen still discovered that Qin Qi was quite capable.

He can clearly explain various technical issues, and occasionally express his own opinions and comment on the pros and cons of the technology.

After a rough tour, Jiang Chen said, "Next, I would like to ask Qin Qi to take me to visit where you do scientific research."

"Director Tan, if you have something to do, go and do it first!"

Tan Yaozu was stunned for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I just happen to have something to take care of."

"Qin Qi, please give Dean Jiang and Comrade You a good reception. You can also bring up the problems you encountered in your research. Dean Jiang may be able to point out a similar path for you."

Before leaving, Tan Yaozu couldn't help but remind Qin Qi, fearing that he would not speak.

Qin Qi nodded: "Dean Jiang, please follow me." Jiang Chen nodded and followed Qin Qi.

The research department of Yaohua Glass Factory is led by Qin Qi, who is composed of three highly skilled workers, a top student of materials science who understands physics and chemistry, and an optical practitioner.

The configuration is not top-notch, but it is not bad either.

Everything should be there.

But it’s not high-end either.

Jiang Chen felt that the entire research workshop was in chaos.

All the tools are placed randomly everywhere, on the ground, next to the seats, on the desks, and even on the research equipment.

Although it was messy, Jiang Chen knew that when they needed any tools, they could always find the relevant tools quickly at the first time.

Once someone tidies them up, something big is going to happen.

Just like the computers of some people in later generations, the entire screen is filled with files, folders, and shortcuts.

But when he needs to find something, he can always find the place quickly.

If someone right-clicked and arranged the icons, it would be like the sky falling for him.

Qin Qi gave everyone a brief introduction of Jiang Chen.

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen as if they were drowning people who saw a life-saving straw.

They have been tortured by this research recently.

When they received the topic, they knew that once the research on optical fiber was successful, they would go down in history and have a bright future.

So everyone put in 200% effort, hoping for a good result.

But many things cannot be achieved just by hard work.

Especially research.

The harder they tried, the more frustrated they became, and they all felt deeply the hostility of technology.

Qin Qi introduced: "We are currently studying how to produce optical fibers, which is also a requirement raised by your Institute of Technology."

"But we have tried all the existing tools, methods and models, but we are still unable to produce qualified optical fibers. No, it should be said that it is still far from meeting the requirements."

“We even feel that the fiber size you proposed is simply not something that can be produced in this era.”

“We can’t even do 125-micron cladding right now, let alone 50-micron core, and there’s still 9-micron single-mode core.”

"Look, this is the smallest optical fiber we have ever made. Its diameter is 372 microns. The precision has exceeded previous ones by many times, but it is still far from the required distance!"

When saying this, Qin Qi was filled with a sense of dejection.

Obviously we have worked very hard and have achieved very gratifying results, but the goal is still out of reach.

So, maybe there is something wrong with your goal setting.

In order to achieve one's own ideas, one sets an unattainable goal.

This kind of remarks appeared more than once during their group discussions.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, I understand."

Today, the main purpose is to understand the situation here and examine Qin Qi's abilities.

He is not ready to come up with a solution yet.

Solve the people problem first, then the issue.

If Qin Qi fails, then no matter how much we talk today, it will be a waste of time.

If Yaohua fails, he will go to another Jinjing Glass Factory.

If it still fails, he will have to give up the tempting idea of ​​independent research and development of the glass factory and cultivating the scientific research awareness of the glass factory, and set up a project in the Institute of Technology.

Then for a long time to come, these glass factories may just be simple manufacturers without the ability to conduct independent scientific research.

This result is equivalent to placing all scientific research in the Institute of Flower Industry, which is not beneficial to the overall development of the flower-growing industry.
