Chapter 6 The super fabric was born!
"Can you believe it? Uniqlo's sales of 618 this year hit a new high."
"Why don't consumers understand?"
"UT series T-shirts sold at Uniqlo for 99 yuan are actually very ordinary thirty-two cottons, and the factory price is only 11 yuan."
"The famous AIRism quick-drying series is to put it bluntly, cuproamino fiber, and the cuproamino fiber was invented in the distant 1857!"
"There are also HEATTECH thermal underwear, the raw material is acrylic of Asahi Kasei Group in Japan."
"A truly high-end self-heating fabric, even if you don't use Deutero velvet, you still have to use Mitsubishi's Miabi? What's the matter with acrylic from Asahi Kasei and Toyo Textiles? At most, you have to pill it after wearing it for one season."
"And acrylic is imitation wool cashmere. At present, no company's technology can truly compare with natural wool cashmere. 18.5 micron mercerized Merino wool thermal underwear is the best existence in the industry..."
In the fabric evaluation laboratory, Dr. Xu Qingzhou complained to several of his students that as a firm national rejuvenant, Dr. Xu hated the current status of the textile industry.
In fact, most of the chemical fiber materials in the world are invented by the West, and patent rights are also in the hands of the West.
Viscose belongs to the UK Courtaulds Group, nylon, acrylic, polyester, Lycra and other mainstream chemical fiber products around the world, belongs to the North American DuPont Group, polyvinyl alcohol fiber belongs to the Japan Kurashiki Group, and polypropylene belongs to the Italian Montefibre Group.
Although my country is the world's largest production and sales volume, if you look closely, you will see the Eight-Nation Alliance everywhere. This may be a sadness that only chemical fiber professionals can understand.
In my country, small inventions and creations in the field of chemical fiber certainly exist, and there are still many.
But the key is that it is a huge regret to be able to compete with the top flagship products around the world like DuPont Group's Leica.
After all, manufacturing is just like fighting wars. It is not enough to have conventional weapons. If you want to become the five major gangsters of the United Nations, you must also have a killer weapon and nuclear weapons.
"Teacher." A student of Xu Qingzhou said: "Clothing companies are more of a marketing behavior, and they have nothing to do with whether the fabric is advanced."
"Uniqlo's success can only be said that he does well in marketing and has high market acceptance of products."
"This is right." Another student of Xu Qingzhou said: "The dilemma we are facing now is the dual lack of technology and marketing."
"In terms of technology, we need top-notch raw materials and scientific research giants like Bayer, BASF, and DuPont. In terms of marketing, what we need is Uniqlo, ZARA, H.M, Nike, Adidas, and Muji."
The topic suddenly became a little heavy, and everyone was a little depressed. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Students such as Xu Qingzhou, who were influenced by the mentor, also had some sense of family and country.
Unfortunately, the current situation is too tragic. There are international giants in front of them, and there are rising stars like Vietnam behind them.
In addition, the textile industry is considered a sunset industry, and has always lacked attention and support for many years. Whether the factory is relocated or closed down, the people do not know or care. The situation is really not optimistic.
"Teacher, do you think it is possible to make the quick drying index of the fabric to single digits?" Suddenly, a student from Xu Qingzhou asked.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Dr. Xu replied without thinking: "The world's strongest quick-drying fabric is currently the COOLMAX of the North American DuPont Group. The quick-drying index is less than 20, which is more than five times that of pure cotton fabrics."
"Make the quick-drying index to a single position? Wouldn't it be more than ten times that of pure cotton, which is better than DuPont?"
"Believe me, it's impossible for the earth, and alien technology is almost the same." Xu Qingzhou joked at the end.
However, the student wearing glasses was extremely serious. He swallowed and spitted, with obvious shock in his eyes. He handed a test report to Xu Qingzhou.
"But teacher, the data just released shows that the quick-drying index of the fabrics sent for inspection by Kunlun Company reached an astonishing 7.4."
Pooh ~
Xu Qingzhou squirted wildly, unable to believe his ears.
“Seven-four!?”
“COOLMAX is only twenty.”
"Thirteen-five times that of pure cotton!?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! It must be the data that was wrong!"
Xu Qingzhou felt that this was the most ridiculous thing he had ever heard of in his life, but when he picked up the report and looked at it carefully, his face suddenly became very exciting.
In addition to the quick-drying index of 7.4, there is also a very important indicator, water absorption rate.
Pure cotton can absorb water equivalent to 7% of the weight of the fabric, and the water absorption rate of ordinary polyester fiber is 4% per thousandth. The water absorption rate of the fabric sent for inspection by Kunlun Factory this time is only 100th!
"If you make a mistake, you must be wrong." Dr. Xu shook his head and muttered, "Kunlun Textile and Fabric Company? I have never heard of it. If they really have this kind of strength, why do you have to open a factory? You can just go and win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry."
"Who tested this fabric?"
The young man wearing glasses just now raised his hand, "I was responsible for the test."
Xu Qingzhou nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can help me and let's test it again."
...
Soon, the laboratory became a boil. Everyone had been dealing with chemical fibers all year round, but they had never heard of such powerful parameters. One passing through ten, ten passing through hundreds, and ten passing through hundreds, which was a hot topic and everyone knew it.
"Really or not?"
"I don't know. Xu Qingzhou is currently leading the team and is undergoing a second review."
"The overall performance is nearly three times higher than the world's strongest COOLMAX."
"It's too strong, it feels a bit sci-fi."
"No, it's more serious than science fiction, it's simply magic!"
"I hope all this will come true, so that we can suppress DuPont in North America and exhale hard."
"A small private factory, still want to suppress DuPont? I think you don't daydream. Wait for the second test result of Xu Qingzhou. I guess the first test was done by Xu Qingzhou's student. Young people have no experience and are very likely to get the data wrong."
There are many different opinions in the laboratory. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the few pieces of fabrics sent to the plateau have now become the absolute focus.
Xu Qingzhou's second test made unexpectedly slow progress.
It lasted from the morning until late at night that Xu Qingzhou walked out of the laboratory with a few tired students.
"Qingzhou, what's the result?" Several people ran into the next room and asked anxiously.
Most of the colleagues had already gone home. These people were enthusiastic and wanted to know the result as soon as possible, so they stayed.
"Director Qin? Why haven't you returned yet?" Xu Qingzhou was slightly stunned.
"I can't rest assured, either." Director Qin said frankly: "After all, the result of the first time is really amazing. If it is true, it may subvert many things."
Xu Qingzhou nodded slightly. Facing his anxious colleagues, he did not keep it in hiding, and said directly: "The result I made was 7:2."
Boom ~
The scene exploded directly!
These people are all professionals who have seen the world, but when they heard the numbers from Xu Qingzhou, they still showed a very shocked expression.
Who would have thought that the result Xu Qingzhou got was 7:2! It was even lower than the first time!
"Teacher, this is a great joy. Please have lunch!" Xu Qingzhou's students were extremely excited, hugged each other and cheered, and then asked the teacher to invite lunch.
Before Xu Qingzhou could answer, Director Qin laughed and said, "Thank you all for your hard work, I'll treat you to the midnight snack!"
"Long live! Long live the director!"
The young people immediately cheered, chattering about ordering takeout, and slapping Director Qin with a fierce knife.
After finding a secluded corner to sit down, Director Qin said to Xu Qingzhou: "We all know what it means to have such high-performance quick-drying fabrics."
Xu Qingzhou nodded repeatedly, and his expression of excitement and joy was beyond words.
nuclear weapon.
This is the super nuclear weapon that the industry has long been looking forward to!
It is not clear how much lethal it can cause to Western giants, but it must be enough for them to drink.
After a pause, Director Qin said with a serious look: "It's important. You have a good rest tonight, do another test tomorrow to confirm the data."
this…
Xu Qingzhou held his forehead and smiled bitterly, saying, "Director, the reason why it's so late is because I led the team to do it three times in a row."
