Chapter 684 He can stop using it
When Feng Xiaochen came, Jiang Xianyu couldn't continue discussing with Zhou Ting, Xu Zhiyuan and the others. He greeted the two of them, and then accompanied Feng Xiaochen to leave the discussion site and walked to the large open space outside. They came out with Leng Feiyun, Wu Shican, and several middle-level cadres from the Chemical Design Institute and Petrochemical Design Institute. These people rushed to Binhai to participate in this battle at the invitation of the equipment company.
After confirming that the strategy of developing a synthetic ammonia process with independent intellectual property rights based on the ruthenium catalyst process, the Equipment Industry Company issued a notice to the relevant units, asking them to dispatch elite generals to the construction site of Binhai Second Fertilizer Factory to participate in technical research. Those who received the notice were Xinyang Secondary Machinery, Beihua Machinery, National Chemical Design Institute and Petrochemical Design Institute. In addition, there were some special experts from some scientific research institutes. This was invited by Feng Xiaochen, Wu Shican and others based on their personal relationships, and they did not go through formal organizational channels.
When the notice was issued, the equipment company did not mention the ruthenium catalyst process, but said it was planning to implement some technological innovations in the coastal secondary transformation project, so experts needed to consult. After the designated experts, scholars and engineers were in place, Leng Feiyun explained the truth to everyone and asked everyone to keep it strictly confidential and never disclose the information to the outside world, so as not to be noticed by the Japanese in China's plan and then new details emerged.
The people invited by the equipment company have been immersed in the chemical industry for many years and are well aware of what a new technology with independent intellectual property rights means to the country. Although some people complain on weekdays, they will say something that China is not good or foreigners are so frustrated, but when it comes to being able to make an innovation on their own, most people are a hundred times more enthusiastic.
According to Leng Feiyun's report to Feng Xiaochen, these days, the experts have been working hard to eat and sleep, and have devoted themselves to the research and development of new processes. The ruthenium catalyst process was first developed by Wang Hongtai. Because the funds were provided by the Reinstallation Office, the patents generated in the research belong to the Reinstallation Office. After the Reinstallation Office was revoked, these patents were transferred to the Equipment Industry Company. In addition to the public knowledge disclosed in the patent application report, the Equipment Company also has some internal knowledge that cannot be disclosed to the outside world. This time, Feng Xiaochen ordered that this knowledge be taken out and shared with the experts participating in the research and development. Some time ago, the experts' main task was to digest this knowledge and at the same time, based on this knowledge, to make modifications to the existing process flow to form a complete set of new processes.
The proposal of a new set of processes is not to overturn all the original old processes, but to innovate them on the basis of the old processes. Compared with traditional processes, the biggest difference between the ruthenium catalyst process and the traditional processes is that the catalysts are used. Compared with the iron catalyst used in traditional processes, the conversion efficiency of the ruthenium-based catalyst can be increased by nearly 20%, and it has better stability and has strong toxic resistance, that is, it is insensitive to impurities such as water, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, which is very important for simplifying the reaction device.
The equipment company proposed to develop a new process based on ruthenium catalyst. In fact, it is to combine these characteristics of ruthenium catalyst to modify the unsuitable parts of the original process device, add some necessary devices, and delete some unnecessary devices. The amplitude of this improvement can be large or small, and large improvements can fully utilize the advantages of ruthenium catalyst. If only some small improvements can be made due to constraints in time, technology, etc., it is okay. At best, the efficiency of ruthenium catalyst cannot be fully utilized. The efficiency of the original 20% can be improved, but now it is only 0%, which is also innocuous.
The most important thing is that as long as the basic process is improved, China can not be restricted by the Chigu process license and have the right to export independently. After all, China has actually mastered many technologies, but they are restricted by patent protection. You cannot use this technology, otherwise it will violate international trade rules. But when people really want to turn over the table and not talk about international rules, who cares about your patent protection? Don’t you see that the US imperial dominance is too dominant to fight a trade war, and you have to make a reason to say that others have violated the World Trade Rules instead of turning over the table directly. Because it knows that if the table is turned over, everyone will not talk about the rules, and many of its technological advantages will no longer exist. Do you really think China cannot imitate its chips?
These are naturally later stories.
"Thank you all for your hard work."
After standing in a circle in the open space, Feng Xiaochen smiled and said hello to everyone. This was the construction site. Leng Feiyun couldn't find enough chairs for everyone to sit and chat, so he just stood there. In addition to being able to be invited by the equipment company, in addition to his excellent skills, his spirit of cooperation is also very good and he will not demand various treatments pretentiously. Feng Xiaochen thought in his heart that if Wang Hongtai was really invited and he was asked to stand with everyone in the sun to discuss the issue, I wonder if he would be unhappy.
"Not hard, this is what we should do."
"Mr. Feng, you and Minister Wu are the hardest to go around and contact experts and scholars."
"Haha, I'm going to tell Mr. Feng that it's my wish for half my life to develop our own synthetic ammonia technology. Now I finally see hope. I'm full of energy. What's the point of working hard?"
"Yes, that's right. This craft can really be done, that's so satisfying!"
Everyone responded in a mess. Feng Xiaochen could feel the enthusiasm and excitement in their words. Morale was available, which was Feng Xiaochen's most direct feeling. In the past ten years, everyone let go of their posture, miserable, and even learned advanced experience from abroad. Today, they have accumulated a lot of solid accumulation and it is time to accumulate strength. Back then, a young technician abroad could be domineering in front of old Chinese engineers. If you say that everyone is not holding a breath in their hearts, it would be too overestimating their Buddha nature. Finally, there is a chance to slap in the face, and no one is eager to try it.
"By the way, Mr. Feng, didn't you say you went to Pujiang to hire Professor Wang a few days ago? Why didn't he come here and only had a doctoral student?" asked a director of the design office of the Chemical Design Institute named Bao Jianlin. In the same chemical circle, Bao Jianlin knew Wang Hongtai and also knew that he was the main researcher of ruthenium catalyst technology. Although many technical data can be seen in the hands of equipment companies, some research experience cannot be learned by others, and only the parties involved can explain it clearly.
Feng Xiaochen smiled faintly and said, "It was a coincidence that we went there. Professor Wang happened to be unwell and had to go to the hospital for physical therapy every day, so he couldn't get through for the time being."
"Oh." Everyone responded softly, not sure if they really believed Feng Xiaochen's explanation or realized something else. The academic circle is so big. Everyone has heard of who has virtue. Wang Hongtai is only under 40 years old. No matter how uncomfortable he is, how bad can he be? Some people even recalled that during a meeting in Huangshan last month, Wang Hongtai was also one of the guests. He walked as fast as he could and chatted with a beautiful scholar from a certain unit. Why did he have to go to physical therapy every day in a blink of an eye? His waist was so unwilling torture?
"How good is this Xu Zhiyuan?"
Feng Xiaochen changed the topic about Wang Hongtai, whispered to the small open space inside, and asked everyone.
"The level is very good and the foundation is very solid." Jiang Xianyu rushed to respond. He used two words "very" to describe it, obviously he was quite satisfied with Xu Zhiyuan. Maybe there was the idea of breaking the corner and getting Xu Zhiyuan to Beihua Machinery.
Leng Feiyun added: "The most important thing is that Dr. Xu has a very positive attitude towards work. He has been climbing the pipes with everyone these days, working hard. Yesterday, he fell off the pipes and twisted his feet. Now he is walking and limps, but you have also seen that he is still discussing the craftsmanship with Director Jiang and others."
"Yeah, the guy is very good, he has the same spirit as we were when we were young."
"I couldn't help but want to invite him to be a postdoctoral fellow in our place, but I just didn't know if he could fall in love with our small temple."
"Tsk tsk, Wang Hongtai is so...haha, the students who have taken in are really good."
Feng Xiaochen interrupted everyone's feelings and then asked: "Since that's the case, if Professor Wang can't get through, will everyone think the problem of ruthenium catalyst process be affected?"
Jiang Xianyu pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, if Professor Wang doesn't come, it will not have much impact on us. We have mastered the general process principles, and the patents are also in the hands of equipment companies. Professor Wang, as a scholar in college, may not necessarily understand better than those of us in design. What's more, Xu Zhiyuan knows no less than his mentors. I discussed it with him just now, and I felt that he could explain many issues very clearly, and it would be enough to have him on the spot."
"Then I will notify Professor Wang to take care of his illness. When will he be in good health? Come and guide him." Feng Xiaochen said. With his identity, he was so polite, which was obviously a hatred for Wang Hongtaira. Who said that Xiao Feng is not the kind of person who will revenge?
Bao Jianlin heard the subtext in Feng Xiaochen's words, but did not explain the truth, but changed the topic and said: "Mr. Feng, there are basically no obstacles in the basic process of synthesis ammonia. However, we are still subject to the process of some key peripheral equipment. We cannot guarantee that they will make a fuss about these peripheral processes."
