From University Lecturer to Chief Academician

At the end of the business meeting at the end of the year, Su Yingxue flew to Xihai by plane. When she saw Wang Hao, she naturally had nothing to talk about.

It can be said that men and women who have tasted love for the first time cannot see each other for a day, like three autumns.

They haven't forgotten the question of 'investment'.

Su Yingxue acted quickly. It took a few days to register an investment company, and then signed an agreement with Wang Hao in the name of the company.

The next step is to contact Hanshi Industry.

The reason why it is so complicated is mainly because Wang Hao has too much capital, hundreds of millions of capital is enough for a listed company to release public information, and he does not want to associate his name with Hanshi Industry, so as to minimize his influence of fame.

This makes it impossible to invest in your own name.

Hanshi Industry also attaches great importance to cooperation, mainly because Wang Hao is a technical consultant, so he will definitely pay attention to technical work, and Wang Hao is also sure to invest in the research of bearing technology, hoping to improve bearing technology, In order to manufacture a spindle with stronger pressure bearing capacity, higher precision and more stability.

This is of no harm to Hanshi Industry.

Another week.

Hanshi Industry released the news, disclosing that the company issued shares with a market value of nearly 850 million in the form of private placement to a new investment company under Chuangwei Group.

The announcement of the private placement of shares seemed a bit abrupt.

Most of the people didn't know what happened, and thought it was just Chuangwei Group's investment in Hanshi Industry.

Hanli Industrial was not affected. Instead, many people discussed Skyworth Group. As a result, Skyworth Group’s share price ushered in a small rise against the market, and it quickly rose by five points that day.

at the same time.

Hanshi Industrial's technical team has come to Xihai University.

Han Chen, the head of the technical team, brought the team members, materials, and a small high-precision bearing.

Everyone who came here was very excited. The news they got was that Wang Hao was interested in bearing technology, so they asked them to send materials and bearings, and explain the key technologies.

Although it was just saying that Wang Hao was 'interested', seeing Wang Hao was enough to make some people excited.

That is the famous Wang Hao!

Wang Hao is the top star figure in the field of academic research. His reputation resounds throughout the world, and he is also a representative mathematician and scientist in the new era.

Now they can send materials to Wang Hao and explain bearing-related technologies, and they all feel very honored.

Wang Hao attaches great importance to bearing technology, because the most critical problem that has not been overcome in anti-gravity aircraft is the bearing.

If the problem of the main shaft cannot be solved, Wang Hao is even thinking about whether to redesign and use some design factors to reduce the pressure on the main shaft.

Office of the Director of the Mason Mathematical Sciences Laboratory.

Wang Hao saw the team led by Han Chen. There were four people in total. Han Chen was the team leader. He handed over the information to Wang Hao, and then showed the small bearing he brought.

It was a high-end bearing produced by Nichi Corporation in Japan, and it was a part disassembled from a newly imported lathe.

The appearance of this small bearing looks very technological. There is no gap at all in the gap of the rotation. There is no sense of obstruction when rotating, and it is very heavy in the hand.

Wang Hao took it over and studied it carefully, but he couldn't see anything on the outside. He asked, "What do you include in these materials?"

Han Chen introduced, "Some of them are recent experimental data, including some design and process research data."

"The other part is a summary of past experiments, and a complete set of bearing production process data."

After he finished speaking, he emphasized, "It's all confidential information."

Wang Hao nodded as he listened. Hanshi Industrial's bearing technology is not competitive in the high-end market, but the bearings they produce are still competitive in the low-end market.

The detailed information on the production and manufacture of a complete set of bearings must be very confidential and must not be circulated.

Wang Hao glanced at the information roughly, and then discussed with the few people who got up about bearing manufacturing and key technologies.

He had some understanding before, but it was definitely not as good as the bearing R\u0026D technology group. Their face-to-face explanations also gave Wang Hao a better understanding of bearing technology.

Now in the field of bearing manufacturing in the world, Germany and Japan are in the forefront. Among the world's top ten bearing function rankings, three are German companies and four are Japanese companies.

"Our gap is mainly in three points, one is the material."

Han Chen said, "Our company's bearing steel is produced by Wuhan Iron and Steel, but Wuhan Iron and Steel cannot provide the highest-end bearing steel. There is a newest bearing steel, which has a lower oxygen content."

"The second is the design problem, especially the design of large bearings. When we went to Germany for inspection, we saw their large bearings, but the specific design inside..."

Han Chen shook his head while speaking.

High-end large bearings, which can be used in military weapons, such as tanks, fighter planes, and even missiles, are prohibited from being sold domestically, and even the design is absolutely confidential.

It is naturally impossible for foreign companies to allow domestic technicians to see the internal structure of high-end large bearings.

"The third is the manufacturing process and process. Of course, Academician Wang, you also know that you must study this aspect yourself."

Han Chen talked about three aspects in one breath, and then added, "High-end bearing technology also involves many other technologies, such as research on fatigue and damage, which is directly related to the service life of bearings, and lubrication is also very important, etc. .”

Wang Hao listened carefully.

After listening to Han Chen and other people's explanations, he has a better understanding of bearing technology.

In summary, the manufacture of high-end bearings is not just a technology, but a comprehensive issue.

In Wang Hao's view, the most important and difficult to solve are two aspects, one is the material bearing steel.

Material is the foundation of the foundation.

If there is high-end bearing steel, more than half of the technical problems will be solved.

Another problem is the manufacturing process and process, which is naturally very complicated.

Other problems can be solved, for example, design.

In this regard, Wang Hao is not worried at all. What he is best at is designing, doing some theoretical research, and determining a certain design plan. As long as more people participate in the research, the best design will definitely come out.

Wang Hao thought about it carefully, and decided to take it step by step.

He first called the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, found the director Wang Jiming, and said that he was going to visit the research institute.

Wang Jiming is already an old friend.

When Wang Hao said that he would come to the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, he also knew the reason why he should go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but he was still looking forward to it, because Wang Hao's ability level, as long as he said a few words about a certain problem, he might be able to Solve some technical problems.

This has been verified.

Wang Hao said he was going to Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute, and it happened that he had nothing to do recently, so he just bought a plane ticket and went there.

He didn't go there by himself, but he brought Han Chen with him. There is a bearing technology researcher by his side, who will also help with the bearing steel problem.

...

WISCO Research Institute.

Many people stood at the door to welcome Wang Hao, and Wang Jiming even held a welcome ceremony, made a piece of red cloth and dyed it with white letters——

Welcome Academician Wang Hao to visit WISCO Research Institute to guide the work!

Wang Hao felt a little embarrassed when he saw that line. He was not here to guide the work, but to ask questions about the bearing steel manufacturing technology.

If the bearing steel technology can be improved, it will definitely bring great benefits to WISCO, and it is only natural that it is so welcomed.

Wang Hao didn't care too much. He shook hands with Wang Jiming, introduced some greetings to others, and then on the way to the door, he directly explained the purpose of his visit, "Bearing steel."

"I want to know what is the difference between the best bearing steel you can produce and the world's top bearing steel."

Wang Jiming did not answer directly, but looked at Ding Zongquan, "Old Ding is an expert in bearing steel."

Ding Zongquan felt a little complacent when he heard it. He didn't have any good impressions when he saw Wang Hao at first, but later both sides didn't care, and they could communicate normally.

But he didn't expect that one day, he would be able to answer Wang Hao on professional questions.

Ding Zongquan is indeed an expert in bearing steel, because the bearing steel manufactured by WISCO is the result of his research.

He also immediately said, "The research I led the team to do is to control the oxygen content in high-end bearing steel to about 5ppm (parts per million concentration)."

"This greatly improves the hardness and toughness of steel."

He continued, "For bearings, the most important thing is to remove impurities and control the oxygen content."

"Generally the lower the oxygen content and the fewer impurities, the better the steel."

"Another point is that the bearing steel we manufacture now adds some rare earth elements, which will also improve the quality of the bearing steel."

"This aspect requires careful research. We have cooperated with the Academy of Sciences and participated in special research on high-end bearing manufacturing, and have also produced high-end rare earth steel."

Wang Hao listened patiently. He knew about the special research on high-end bearings of the Academy of Sciences, but it was aimed at subway lines. The application scenarios were different, and the requirements for bearing steel were also different.

From Ding Zongquan's explanation, Wang Hao knew the key to bearing steel research, one is to reduce the oxygen content, and the other is to add pure rare earth elements.

Led by Wang Jiming and Ding Zongquan, Wang Hao visited WISCO Research Institute, focusing on the equipment and experimental procedures related to high-end steel research. He also saw some important research materials.

Afterwards, Wang Jiming also talked about the current research of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute on bearing steel.

In the research direction of bearing steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel Research Institute has invested a lot. They focus on two points, one is to purify rare earths, and the other is to improve the manufacturing process and process to prepare steel with lower oxygen content.

The former is very important.

Rare earths can only be used in high-end steel if they are pure enough, otherwise the impurities in the steel will increase. On the other hand, rare earths will also react with oxygen, which will further increase impurities and even cause the steel to break easily.

Ding Zongquan also talked about their cooperative research in this field, "Xijing Jiaotong University, Peng Hui!"

"His team is doing research to improve the process, hoping to reduce the oxygen content of the steel."

"The expected goal now is to steadily reduce the oxygen content to below 4 ppm."

"If this goal can be achieved, combined with our existing technology, we will be able to manufacture higher-end bearing steel."

"but……"

Before Ding Zongquan finished speaking, he kept shaking his head, "I don't like their research, Peng Hui, Academician Wang, you should know that his level is still not good."

Wang Hao nodded in thought.

Indeed.

Peng Hui still has some abilities, but to say that he can complete top research, especially research that reaches or even surpasses the international level...

It's hard!

At present, the most high-end technology in China can only control the oxygen content of steel below 5ppm, but it is already remarkable to be able to achieve stable control.

The concentration of 5ppm is already quite low, and it is very difficult to go one step further.

The most high-end technology in the world can only reduce the oxygen content of steel to 4ppm, and it may not be stable. That is to say, after several batches of steel are produced, a certain proportion of steel will not meet the standard.

"Then I'll ask Professor Peng again." Wang Hao said after thinking, "If Professor Peng's research is successful, will you be able to manufacture higher-end bearing steel?"

"Yes, it's absolutely fine!"

Ding Zongquan said with certainty, "If we can continue to reduce the oxygen content, coupled with our existing technology, the bearing steel produced will definitely not be inferior to the highest international level."

Now Wang Hao felt relieved.

Research on the purification of rare earths is relatively secondary, because WISCO already has enough technology and just hopes to continue to improve on the basis of existing technology.

However, their existing technology has reached the international level.

Relying on experimental research to reduce the oxygen content of steel is the key.

The reason why this key research is to cooperate with other teams is because the research is quite cumbersome, and it is difficult to achieve any results. It is best to find results when other teams cooperate, and it does not matter if there are no results.

After staying in WISCO Research Institute for a day, Wang Hao learned enough information and simply returned to Xihai University.

He then called Wan Yiming and talked about the quotation.

Although it is also for the research of anti-gravity aircraft, after all, it is the research of bearing steel technology, so it still feels awkward to help for free.

Labor must be paid!

So he simply quoted a price, asking Peng Hui's team to spend money to help him do data analysis and related research.

In this regard, you can find Wan Yiming.

Wan Yiming specializes in data analysis of materials research.

...

Wan Yiming received a call from Wang Hao and immediately agreed to cooperate.

As for the quotation, he didn't ask any questions at all, and he agreed directly on behalf of Peng Hui, and even opened an application form, the main content of which was to apply for the research materials to be handed over to Wang Hao.

The research materials are all confidential in nature, and you must apply for them if you hand them over to others.

After Wan Yiming printed out the application form, he asked his doctor Zhang Zhi to hand it over to Peng Hui's office for Peng Hui to sign on it.

Peng Hui had just returned to the office from the operating room.

He was going to sit down and take a rest, thinking about the research in his hands and couldn't help shaking his head. The research on reducing the oxygen content of high-end steel belongs to the kind of project that is difficult to produce results no matter how much effort is put into it.

He sincerely hopes to lead the team to achieve results, but how can it be so easy to catch up with the most advanced international level?

It has been half a year until now, and the research has not made any progress.

Fortunately, Wuhan Iron and Steel did not report much hope, but the corresponding funding has also been reduced a lot.

Peng Hui still wanted to hurry up and do a few more experiments, hoping to see progress in the experiments, but the corresponding reduction in funding made him shy away from doing experiments.

This feeling is too uncomfortable.

At this time, the door was knocked, and Peng Hui raised his head and shouted, "Come in!"

Zhang Zhi handed the document to Peng Hui and said, "Professor Peng, Teacher Wan asked me to hand over this application to you for signature."

"What?" Peng Hui took it and asked casually.

"It's an application document," Zhang Zhi said, "I'm not too sure. Teacher Wan answered the phone, and then made an application document, saying that he wanted to give the information to an expert, and that expert would help analyze it."

"Then, apply for an expert fee of 500,000 yuan."

Peng Hui was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief, "Xiao Zhang, are you kidding me?"

Zhang Zhi froze for a moment, "No, that's all I know."

"Expert? Help with analysis? Five hundred thousand fee? Five hundred thousand! How much do we have in total? How can we hire some shitty expert and pay half a million? Wan Yiming really lost his mind!"

Peng Hui became very angry when he thought about "500,000 yuan". He was still worrying about the funds. He didn't expect Wan Yiming to find an outsider to do the data analysis work, and even applied for 500,000 yuan in funding.

If you want to spend so much money on data analysis, what do you need Wan Yiming for?

Raise and eat leisurely!

"Your teacher Wan really got kicked in the head by a donkey!" Peng Hui said through gritted teeth.

He glanced down at the application form, and when he opened the second page, he saw a familiar name.

Wang Hao?

He was stunned for a moment, and then he finally understood why he felt familiar with this matter.

It turned out to be Wang Hao!

Peng Hui suddenly realized, no wonder Wan Yiming agreed directly, no wonder he asked for a fee of 500,000 in one go.

It turned out to be Wang Hao!

A smile appeared on Peng Hui's face again. He glanced at the content on the application form again, picked up a brush and signed his name with a slightly excited expression.

Zhang Zhi was stunned, and asked with his mouth half-opened, "You... didn't you say no?"

"When did I say no?"

"Just now……"

Peng Hui coughed twice, and then said, "Your Teacher Wan was kicked in the head by a donkey, but because of this, he became smarter."

"have a look!"

"When you encounter this kind of thing now, you can make a decision directly. You can do things cleanly and quickly, which is much better than before. You should learn more from Teacher Wan."

"..."

Zhang Zhi took the application form and walked out of the office. Standing at the entrance of the corridor, he couldn't help thinking, "Ms. Wan became smarter after being kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"How did I not hear it being said?"

"Could it be a long time ago? I don't know? Go back and ask senior sister Shi Guifang if this happened!"
