super energy power

Young people in the 21st century, as long as they pay attention to the products on the market, there is no one who does not know carbon fiber.

The most expensive sporting goods most likely have something to do with carbon fiber, such as bicycles, rackets, golf clubs, fishing rods, surfboards, baseball bats, bows and arrows, ball soles, trekking poles... but those that pay attention to high strength, high modulus The best equipment for weight and light weight must be made of carbon fiber, and the extra corrosion resistance is an extra gift.The former king of aluminum alloy had to be thrown out of eight streets when facing carbon fiber. If anyone still pretends to be noble with aluminum alloy products, it is most appropriate to immediately retaliate "weak explosion".The only thing restricting the development of carbon fiber is high price and low production capacity.

This was even more apparent in 1993.The t300 carbon fiber produced by Toray Company now sells for 3 yen per kilogram, which is so expensive that even the Japanese can't afford it, let alone the Chinese.At this time, Japan is the largest producer of carbon fiber in the world, with an annual output of less than 8000 tons, while the largest consumer is the United States.

Even Americans who are as big as dogs can't use carbon fiber at will.In addition to the military field, which consumes less than 2%, the US space program and Boeing's aircraft are the main sales targets of carbon fiber.

Although the gross production value is not high, everyone sees the bright future of carbon fiber.

If monocrystalline silicon is the most important material at the end of the century, then carbon fiber is the most important material in traditional industries.Automobile industry, electric power industry, construction industry, electronics industry, chemical industry... Just open the modern industry manual, there are few industries that cannot be changed by carbon fiber.

If you're making a sci-fi film, you can't go wrong with carbon fiber as the main material of the city.If the big donkeys in the future have enough money to build a building several thousand meters high with carbon fiber, there will be no problem in theory.Similarly, if you dig a few thousand meters down, you will probably need to use carbon fiber as a support.

The future of carbon fiber was clear to the scientific community in the 70s, however.It was not until the early 90s that the industry had a unified understanding of the future of carbon fiber. This is because carbon fiber was finally industrialized in large quantities in the early 90s.

However, apart from the scientific community and related industry people, the average person in the 90s knew very little about carbon fiber.The legendary carbon fiber golf clubs are sold for millions of yen at this time.It is equivalent to a Japanese worker's pension, and several ordinary people can afford it.

Before Yang Ming submitted the documents to Sioux City.Although I read it once, but without a professional background, how could I know that carbon fiber is such a monster.

And how could Sioux City not know the huge value of carbon fiber.Toray, which was the first to do this, has more than 3 employees in the future, which is more than Dahua Industrial now.

With the small Japanese corporate system, without stable and huge profits, how dare they recruit so many employees.

If you can really master the manufacturing technology of carbon fiber, it will not only open up a big gold mine.And it is equivalent to a talisman.

No matter what the motive was, Su Cheng put down his work in Kazakhstan and returned to the Dahua headquarters in Shanghai*Shanghai as quickly as possible.

The Dahua laboratory is still located in the Dahua headquarters.

It is the only subsidiary that still shares the premises with the group headquarters.On the one hand, this is because the laboratory is not easy to relocate, and on the other hand, it is also because of the importance of Dahua Laboratory.

After more than 6 years of accumulation, and Sioux City’s almost crazy poaching and recruitment, there are now more than 3000 researchers in Dahua Lab.Even if it is still not comparable to the international oil giants, it is in the domestic independent units.It also belongs to Scorpion Laxiang, the only one.The number of patents per year is more than 10 times that of the research institutes with three barrels of oil combined.

Of course, the number of patents in a normal research institute in any country is only a lot, but in China, there are sufficient research funds and favorable employee treatment.It still attracted unbelievable eyes and great attraction.

It can be said that Sioux City not only borrowed the experience and ideas learned by later generations to build Dahua Lab, but also invested his own dreams in it.

Take Chinese research conditions.There are a few young people who can do research comfortably and comfortably.

After getting the capital, one thing Sioux City has been doing all along is the transformation of Dahua Laboratory.

Purchasing Committee, Evaluation Committee, Academic Committee and other institutions are institutionally changing China's research mechanism, at least within Dahua, killing the factor of academic excellence...

The experimental funding and employee treatment of Dahua Laboratory solve the worries of researchers from a personal perspective.Although in terms of nominal salary, Dahua Industrial dare not say that it is the same as researchers in European and American countries, but the cost of living in China is so low.

In order to create a higher quality of life with less money, Dahua Lab even established an independent branch company to solve all the worries of Dahua researchers from children to the elderly while conducting independent accounting.And this company is the most strictly managed branch of Dahua Industrial. Although it has not been stated explicitly, the recruits and training are servants and housekeepers.

A beautiful office environment, a fair assessment system, good remuneration and excellent living remuneration, coupled with overseas public relations companies, are Dahua Industrial's unique tricks to attract researchers at home and abroad. In the era when Microsoft was just rising, the luxury office in Silicon Valley It has not yet formed a trend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Dahua Industry is leading the world.

Moreover, in the era when the annual salary of civil servants was more than 00 yuan, the average monthly salary was more than 5000 yuan, and the jobs with high salaries and bonuses could be imagined.

If it is said that Chinese researchers in 00 solved the primary problem of carbon fiber, then Dahua researchers in 1993 solved the primary problem of carbon fiber. Sioux City is not surprised.

Although the mood is still worrying about gains and losses.

The Mercedes-Benz drove fast all the way, and drove straight into the downstairs of the Dahua laboratory.

Li Huanxiang waited below with a smile on his face.

This technician who used to be able to draw a blueprint a day, after being baptized by the Dahua culture, also began to look like a pig, and his mouth became louder.

The laboratory is a gold-swallowing beast. No laboratory can truly be self-financed, especially in China, where no one cares about patents. China in 93 hadn't even become a member of the Patent Cooperation Treaty.The Dahua Laboratory can continue to operate, all relying on Dahua Industrial to provide blood transfusions.

As the boss of Dahua Lab, if Li Huanxiang continued to be bored.It can't last long.Therefore, Li Huanxiang is still proud and bony on the surface, but his heart is actually full.

Adding the carbon fiber project that has just begun to appear in the file to Sioux City will show how vivid Li Huanxiang is.

If he writes official documents like this, without Sioux City talking, the board of the academic committee will be called first.But that document was what Yang Ming wanted.It's just the design of building a house for Sioux City, it can't be regarded as an activity of Dahua Industrial.The academic committee at the headquarters can't control it either.

On the other hand, the probability of such a document being noticed by Su Cheng is higher than other documents.

The same idea may also exist in projects such as smart glass and special-shaped PVC, but Su Cheng didn't care to study it carefully, so he greeted Li Huanxiang and asked, "How far has the research on carbon fiber reached?"

Li Huanxiang didn't expect him to be so direct, and said in surprise: "We have already trial-produced an isotropic asphalt short fiber with a tensile strength of about 800mpa and a modulus of 70gpa."

The light weight and corrosion resistance properties of carbon fiber are inherited from the raw material.The requirements are not too strict.After all, there are many lightweight and corrosion-resistant materials, and the real revolution of carbon fiber is reflected in its tensile strength and modulus.

The former is the strength that people usually understand, and the latter can be understood as the ability of elasticity.From the perspective of fishing rods, carbon fibers with higher tensile strength can hold heavier fish, and higher modulus can allow the fishing rod to withstand greater bending.

Su Cheng silently recited 800mpa and 70gpa, but had no perceptual knowledge.Just ask: "What is the data of Toray's carbon fiber?"

"What kind are you asking?" Li Huanxiang chuckled, with the intention of changing the subject.

"The best." Su Cheng cut off his evil thoughts.

Li Huanxiang coughed twice, hesitated for a moment before saying: "The tensile strength and modulus of carbon fiber cannot be both high. One must be high, and the other must be low."

"Say data."

"You're in a hurry." Li Huanxiang didn't say anything.

"Hurry up." Su Cheng knew him well, so he didn't need to give him any face.

Li Huanxiang chuckled.His face has already been practiced, and the researcher next to him felt embarrassed and stood up and said: "The best carbon fiber in the world now has the highest tensile strength of 7 g, and the highest modulus of 600 gpa."

Compared with Dahua Industrial's carbon fiber, both data have a gap of 10 times.Although Su Cheng didn't know the detailed information about it, he had a vague understanding. 3 times is probably a product with more commercial prospects. If it is 10 times, it will be difficult to obtain large-scale promotion.

No wonder there is a real thing, Li Huanxiang also cautiously said that there will be a certain result.

Su Cheng turned his head and smiled, thinking: I am too demanding. If I can really reach one-third of the highest level, wouldn't I have to catch up with Britain and the United States.At this time, Britain and the United States cannot really be said to be excellent in terms of carbon fiber production.

Li Huanxiang observed Su Cheng's expression, and when he finished gnashing his teeth, he whispered: "This is Dr. Wang Yun, he presided over the carbon fiber project, and it only took two years to get the current results. The carbon fiber he introduced just now has a tensile strength of 7g, and its modulus is much smaller, only 400. With a modulus of 600g, the tensile strength should not be too high."

600 is 70 times higher than 8. Li Huanxiang knew that his persuasive power was weak, so he was busy: "We are only at the beginning of research. If we can provide more research funds, we can't say that we can reach 7g, but we can still do 3g." Is it Dr. Wang Yun?"

Wang Yun is a weak scholar, about 30 years old, wearing glasses like the bottom of a wine bottle, and his eyes are slightly swollen.He took a slow look at Li Huanxiang, and then said softly: "Our goal is to make 1.5g first."

Li Huanxiang was cold at the time.He doesn't know what to say!

Su Cheng laughed "heh", and Yang Ming quickly laughed along with him, and the surroundings were filled with laughter.

"Old Wang is too real." Li Huanxiang finally choked out a sentence.

Wang Yun was unmoved by the laughter around him, and said calmly: "What we make is pitch-based carbon fiber, which is different from polyacrylonitrile-based. This kind of carbon fiber has a higher modulus and lower tensile strength. Some, from the current isotropic pitch short fibers to anisotropic pitch short fibers, it is estimated that the tensile strength can be increased from 800 to 1500, and it is hard to say more.”

"Are you sure to increase it to 1.5g?"

"One year at most. And the modulus can be increased to 230, which is considered to have reached the international standard." Wang Yun seems to be full of confidence.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the good news. Let's go, let's go to the laboratory." Naturally, Sioux City mainly encouraged it. Anyway, they made carbon fiber, and the weak performance is predictable.Regarding the current investment of Dahua Industrial.I'm afraid it may be a hundred times less than foreign professional companies, like this kind of money-burning material game.How can we talk about development without money, how can we talk about leapfrog development.

Li Huanxiang was a little more relaxed, took the lead, led the way, and said with a smile: "Boss Su, don't look at our carbon fiber data is poor, this is still a patent application, and patents from all countries have been applied for."

"Oh? Is there any commercial value?"

"Of course there is." Li Huanxiang said excitedly: "We have passed the information to the business department and the strategy department, and asked them to help with research. Our carbon fiber still has certain advantages."

"What advantages?"

"It has good thermal conductivity and good electronic shielding performance. In addition, our fibers are pitch-based, the fibers are shorter, and the manufacturing cost is also low. It is estimated that the cost of factory production is only half of the current hot-selling carbon fibers."

"Half." For carbon fiber, which has just entered the market.Cost is of course important, but the performance drop is too serious. Su Cheng thought about it and asked, "How much will the cost be after reaching the 1.5g level?"

"Maybe three quarters." Li Huanxiang said quite conservatively.

Su Cheng nodded slightly, and said: It's not unacceptable.Now it depends on the progress of your research.

Li Huanxiang laughed now, and said, "The progress is all made with money."

"How much do you plan to want?" Su Cheng was very indifferent.

Li Huanxiang was quite puzzled. Research funding has always been difficult to ask for. The legend of giving as much as you want does not really exist. He and Wang Yun looked at each other and said tentatively: "According to the progress that Dr. Wang just said, 1000 Ten thousand is almost enough."

This is definitely the lion's mouth.Although Dahua Lab is rich.But there are also quite a few projects. More than 3000 researchers are in charge of nearly a thousand projects. If a project is approved for 1000 million, wouldn't it cost tens of billions of dollars every year?

Carbon fiber in China has always been developed by petrochemical and coal research institutes, including Shenhua Group and countless coal mines under the former Ministry of Coal. I am afraid that there are dozens of research institutes all specializing in research, and the funding of these institutes can break through A million is not bad.In contrast, although Dahua Laboratory has a lot of funds, its main business is still oil exploration, mining and petrochemicals.Carbon fiber only belongs to the marginal project in the last category. Such a large investment of 1000 million is absolutely super special.

However, Sioux City is clear about the future of carbon fiber. This is a super project no less than a large petrochemical base, and its potential is astonishing.In comparison, 1000 million is too small.

"Here you are." Su Cheng said without a single stumbling block: "I will add another 1000 million to you to allow you to set up a carbon fiber research institute with the same level as other research institutes, and you can start recruiting people now. "

Now it was Wang Yun's turn to be stunned: "A separate research institute? The same as the Offshore Oil Research Institute?"

"That's right, just like the Offshore Petroleum Research Institute, if there are results, then the funding will be negotiated." In terms of potential, carbon fiber is not inferior to offshore oil development.The development of the latter cannot do without the participation of the former.

Facing a big market worth hundreds of billions, Sioux City gave the money with great joy.

If he had not owned a Dahua laboratory, other people would have no way to find carbon fiber technology even if they wanted to pay.

Li Huanxiang finally realized Sioux City's emphasis on carbon fiber, and took the opportunity to say: "This can't be counted in the total funding of Dahua Laboratory."

"It's not possible." Su Cheng turned to Wang Yun, and said, "You have to make the Carbon Fiber Research Institute as full as the Offshore Oil Research Institute, and the results are remarkable."

The upper lip of Gu Hai Jianle, who was accompanying him, was about to touch his nose. This kind of praise is more exciting than face-to-face praise. If Wang Yun was not the protagonist, he would now like to promote the four-generation offshore oil drilling platform of the Offshore Oil Research Institute. research status.

No matter how unconventional Wang Yun was, the surprise also made his breath short.Any research institute in Dahua represents an annual funding of hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as a large number of independent project qualifications, which are stronger than the current national-level research institutes, and have less bureaucracy.

In the eyes of researchers, being the director of Dahua's research institute is almost the ultimate goal of life struggle. This position can almost conduct research at will. A large amount of funds and attached assistants can solve the two most troublesome problems for researchers. Moreover, the management work of this position is not heavy, and it is more than enough to spare half a day a week.On the contrary, laboratory directors like Li Huanxiang are mostly listed as career goals by researchers when their research path is cut off.

"I'm afraid it's not enough to just dispatch personnel from within Dahua Lab, even graduates. Can we find people from home and abroad?" Wang Yun quickly entered the role and thought about it seriously.

Su Cheng nodded heavily, and said: "Not only can you poach people, but if you sell patents and equipment, it's better to accept them. In this regard, let Zhang Chao cooperate with you."

1993 was an interesting year.This year, the United States began to shrink its investment in aerospace, and many parts manufacturers who only had space shuttles were in a dilemma. Among them, many Japanese carbon fiber companies were included.

If there is no big dog in the United States, a ton of 3000 million yen of carbon fiber will not be sold out.

Although he doesn't expect to miss out, Su Cheng hopes to make more preparations. When the carbon fiber market really booms, it will not be easy to get patent authorization, let alone the purchase of patents.As a latecomer, Dahua Industrial needs not only its own patents, but also some others' patents.
