Chapter 445 Problems Arising During Smelting
Two days later, Mr. Zheng stood outside the door of the research institute, looking at Liu Cong with a look of reluctance.
"Academician Liu, when can you come over again!" Mr. Zheng said.
Liu Cong stood opposite Mr. Zheng, smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Zheng, I believe we will meet again soon."
"I can't let go of my academic studies, right?"
When Liu Cong said this, Mr. Zheng also laughed.
"That's true!"
"Anyway, I really enjoyed spending the past two days doing academic work with you."
"I rarely discuss academic issues with you all night long. It was you who made me feel what it was like to be an academic when I was young."
Hearing what Mr. Zheng said, the smile on Liu Cong's face became even stronger.
"Mr. Zheng, as long as you don't mind me annoying you."
"It's your time to rest at night. You're already very old. It's really a injustice for you to stay with me all night doing academic work!"
Liu Cong's face was full of apology.
But there was nothing he could do about it, because there were still many things waiting for him to solve.
He still has classes to attend at school.
However, in order for Mr. Zheng to lead the team to engage in academic research more smoothly in the future, Liu Cong must explain all the key points clearly.
"Hey~"
"I'm getting older anyway, and I can't sleep more than a few hours a day."
"If you come, I can chat with you about academic issues at night. I'm very happy."
"You, on the other hand, are upright, young, and still growing. You can't stay up so late in the future!"
Mr. Zheng's tone was full of concern, and Liu Cong felt warm in his heart after hearing this.
"Hey! Okay!"
"Keep it in mind." Liu Cong replied.
Seeing that the large troops behind him were ready to go, Mr. Zheng did not intend to waste Liu Cong's precious time any longer.
After all, Liu Cong was traveling by land, and he still had several hours to travel back.
"Academician Liu, I won't say more. Anyway, we now have contact information, and it will be very convenient to contact you in the future."
"I won't waste your time. Hurry up and hurry up. I wish you a safe journey!" Mr. Zheng said sincerely.
"Okay, let's set off. If anything happens later, we'll call you."
Afterwards, Liu Cong didn't say much and got into the car directly.
When I returned, it was overwhelming.
Walking in front of Liu Cong were rows of police cars. They were also notified early in the morning to personally escort Liu Cong onto the highway.
Behind Liu Cong is a line of armed vehicles.
White-collar workers passing by at work were dumbfounded by such a battle, and picked up their mobile phones to take photos.
…………
Five hours later, Liu Cong's car drove down the Peking Expressway Toll Station.
The first time he returned to Peiping, Liu Cong did not go home, but went straight to the Special Research Institute.
As early as one day ago, Academician Sun called Liu Cong and said that he had something important to deal with, but Liu Cong was busy here and had no time to come back.
The main reason is that it is too far and there is no way to run in both directions.
Dozens of minutes later, Liu Cong's car stopped at the entrance of the Peking Special Research Institute.
As soon as he stopped the car, Liu Cong went straight to workshop No. 1.
After everyone saw Liu Cong coming, they all greeted Liu Cong enthusiastically.
Liu Cong said hello and walked inside, arriving at the research area of Academician Sun and his colleagues.
At this time, I saw pieces of metal lying on the ground, with different colors. They looked a bit like pure alloy, but they were very different.
This is the reason why Academician Sun called.
"Academician Sun, I'm back."
Academician Sun, who was still discussing materials with Academician Ma on the ground, immediately turned his head when he heard Liu Cong's voice.
Seeing Liu Cong standing behind him, Academician Sun stood up with the failed product in his hand.
"Academician Liu, I heard you said on the phone that you went to the China Aviation Research Institute. What were you doing there?"
"Have you seen Mr. Zheng?"
Liu Cong thought that Academician Sun would ask about his professional knowledge.
This wave of his operations really surprised Liu Cong.
"What you are doing is kept secret for now. You will know it soon."
"As for Mr. Zheng, you must have met him in person, otherwise I wouldn't have stayed there for more than two full days."
Academician Sun thought about it and nodded.
"Look at my brain!"
"I've been exhausted mentally and physically from the pile of scrap metal I have in the past two days. Is this okay?"
"Academician Ma and I haven't slept much in the past two days, so we just studied this, and we didn't understand it."
"But the scrap metal from failed research is enough to cost me several meals a day." Academician Sun complained.
Hearing Academician Sun's complaint, Liu Cong smiled helplessly.
"Academician Sun, you usually spend hundreds or tens of millions on a scientific research project, how much does this material cost?"
When Academician Sun heard what Liu Cong said, he retorted: "You don't understand."
“There’s a saying that goes: when it’s time to save money, it’s time to spend money.”
"Money is saved."
Liu Cong also agrees with this.
"Academician Sun, Academician Ma, what problem makes you two so exhausted?"
When Liu Cong said this, Academician Ma, who was originally very depressed, became even more depressed sitting on the ground.
"Academician Liu, I don't know either. I just followed your method, but no matter what, the final product I made is not resistant to high temperatures!"
"Yeah, we just can't figure out why this is happening!" Academician Sun on the side was also complaining.
Seeing this, Liu Cong leaned down and inspected the discarded metal.
After reading it, Liu Cong frowned and couldn't find the reason.
"Let's do it this way. You can show me the operation on the spot, and I can see how you come up with the smelting steps."
"Logically speaking, this should not happen."
Liu Cong scratched his head, also very confused.
"Okay, Academician Liu, come with me!" Academician Ma said.
Later, Liu Cong, Academician Sun and Academician Ma came to the smelting room.
After arriving, Academician Ma made pure alloy metal materials based on the ratio of metal ingredients.
Looking at the gram weight on the scale and the percentage of metal mixture, Liu Cong didn't find any mistakes. Everything was based on the steps Liu Cong had done in the laboratory before.
Then, the most important step is to put in the catalyst to synthesize the metal.
Liu Cong watched the entire process of Academician Ma putting the catalyst in and found nothing fishy.
However, just as the metal cooled and was taken out of the smelting furnace, the originally good clean alloy began to change color.
After testing, it is indeed not insulated.
Such an incredible scene made Liu Cong completely stupid.
"The steps are correct, why is this happening?"
At this moment, Liu Cong was also deep in thought. Why was this happening? Liu Cong was also completely confused.
"Academician Ma, don't worry, give me some time."
Therefore, Liu Cong began to look for problems starting from the raw materials, and then practiced it step by step.
After some experiments, Liu Cong's doubts became more and more obvious.
All the steps are obviously correct, why is this happening?
