80s Returning Doctor

The restaurant that Professor Qiu and the others are looking for is not big, it is not the kind of expensive private high-end restaurant, but an ordinary home-cooked restaurant.A small restaurant facing the street has only eight tables in total, but there is also a small box with a big table inside.

Their entire team consisted of three people, and they sat down after a squeeze.The dishes are all home-cooked, and because of the large number of people, they almost ordered all the dishes here.No one ordered wine, food was still not so abundant in this era, and wine was not always available.Moreover, they are all engaged in research, and generally do not drink alcohol, for fear that alcohol will affect the sobriety of the brain.

The speed of the store is very fast, it may also be because they came a little late, so the food is served very fast, and the table is full and the place is full.

When the service staff had gone out, Professor Qiu stood up with two coughs, holding a teacup in his hand, "Ahem, everyone, don't be too polite today! It's rare for us to have time to have a meal together today. But it’s a happy day! This first one is to celebrate the official approval of our project, and everyone will work hard together in the days to come!”

"Okay!" The applause sounded, and everyone still gave Professor Qiu a lot of face.

Professor Qiu pressed down with one hand, "The second one is to clean up our Institute of Atomic Energy." As he spoke, he bowed slightly to his colleagues at the Institute of Atomic Energy, "I'm really sorry. I haven't been able to spare time, I've been busy until now, it's because I didn't entertain well."

Professor Lan quickly waved his hand, "What are you talking about? We who do research don't care about these details."

Several other people also shook their heads and waved their hands in panic. This person's apology, how could they feel it, it was really scary!

Professor Qiu smiled, and did not continue to dwell on this issue, and continued: "We will be very busy for a while, and we may be so busy that we will not have time to eat, so this meal, everyone eat more! Save money Meat! In case everyone has no strength afterwards."

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

Professor Qiu didn't care, and continued, "Let's raise our glasses together, and then we'll start eating!"

"Okay." Everyone stood up, and after clinking glasses, everyone started to move their chopsticks.

It may be due to the atmosphere, the two professors also seemed very approachable today, so everyone ate very lively and relaxed, and the box was full of laughter.

It was getting late by the time the dinner party was over, and there were not many places for leisure and entertainment in the evening, so everyone went home separately.

The day's rest time passed quickly, and the laboratory became busy. The task plan that everyone was responsible for had been assigned long ago.In addition to participating in discussions on low-temperature superconducting materials from time to time, He Jing also needs to work with Qin Ling to design the structure of the cyclotron.

The task of the project team is very heavy, but there are very few people working on it. However, this is almost the case in all major research institutions across the country, and almost all of them are overloaded.In this era, the country is very short of high-tech talents, especially in the area of ​​scientific research talents, let alone.

Another night, He Jing threw away the pencil in his hand and pressed his hands on his temples. Qin Ling, who was sitting next to him, was still tirelessly revising the drawings.

He Jing stood up and stretched his limbs, feeling that his body was like an aging machine, which was caused by maintaining a posture for a long time.He Jing couldn't help sighing, if things go on like this, he may get occupational diseases before forty, such as cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis and so on.

He Jing thought that he hadn't looked at the superconducting material research side for two days, so he planned to go and have a look. The progress there seemed to be quite slow, and there has been no breakthrough.

"Qin Gong, you should do your own research first. I'll go to the laboratory to see the progress of the materials, and I'll be back later."

Qin Ling didn't raise his head, just nodded.

He Jing was also used to him like this, so he left the office without hesitation, walked through the corridor, and He Jing quickly found the newly packed material laboratory.

At this time, the materials laboratory was not as busy as he had expected, but rather relaxed, with only one person conducting experiments.

He Jing walked in and was sure that there was really only one person, feeling a little strange in his heart, the person who was doing the experiment also found He Jing, and hurriedly greeted him.This is one of the researchers of the Institute of Atomic Energy, and also the youngest among the people who came here. His name is Jiang Nandu.

"Why are you two today? Where are the others?"

Jiang Nandu sighed helplessly, "No way, we don't have enough materials for this experiment, and we can't continue the experiment for the time being, so Professor Lan asked everyone else to go back to rest, and only I stayed to do some basic test experiments. data."

He Jing was a little surprised, "Insufficient experimental materials?"

While recording the data, Jiang Nandu was distracted talking to He Jing, "Yes, it is Nb metal material. The quality of raw materials provided in China is too low to meet the needs of the experiment, and deep refining is very troublesome. And Nb Metals are indispensable, so our progress can only be stopped. At present, we are mainly screening other synthetic metals.”

"However, I heard from Professor Lan that he is already looking for someone to find a solution, and it will take a few days for new raw materials to arrive."

He Jing frowned. This is indeed a problem. He picked it up in his future memory, as if it was always imported in China.Right now they are mainly conducting research from the direction of metal composites, and synthesizing a new material may require thousands of experiments, so there is a great demand for Nb metal.

He Jing nodded to show that he knew, and didn't bother Jiang Nandu too much. He just turned over the experiment log in the laboratory, which recorded all the experiments these days in detail.He Jing found out the latest ones, looked through the records and data of the experiment process, and left after he almost understood it.

The research on low-temperature superconducting materials is indeed very slow. One reason is that the synthesis is inherently accidental and there are various possibilities.And they don't have enough experimental materials, so there are not many experimental samples.

He Jing does not think that he needs to interfere in everything, nor does he think that this experiment will not be successful without himself, but this is his first real research result, and he is eager to solve the problem. Of course, this requires him to first I met Professor Qiu and them.

He Jing thought about picking up the people he knew in his memory, maybe one of them could help them, there was no way to do it in China, but maybe it could be done abroad.

With this in mind, He Jing approached Professor Qiu the next morning. He needed to know what the situation was and whether they could buy enough Nb metal from abroad.

Professor Qiu and the others have been in the laboratory for the past few days, so He Jing easily found Professor Qiu, and he also sent Professor Lan as a gift.

The two were in the small conference room early in the morning, probably discussing issues. He Jing knocked on the door, and the door was soon opened. It was Professor Qiu who opened the door. He was a little surprised to see He Jing.

"He Jing, why are you here, do you need me?"

He Jing smiled, "Professor Qiu, I have something to ask you."

Professor Qiu stepped aside and let He Jing come in, "Okay, I happen to have something to do with Professor Lan, and you can just listen to it."

He Jing looked down, then locked the door, walked in and found a place to sit down.

"Let's talk! What's the matter?" Professor Qiu also sat down, and the two were next to each other, just opposite He Jing, and they were waiting for He Jing to speak.

He Jing didn't hold back, and directly explained his intentions, "Has the Nb metal in our project team run out?"

Professor Qiu was not surprised when he heard He Jing's words, and they didn't want to hide anything about it, "Yes, there is almost no Nb metal that can meet our experimental needs in China, so we can only import it from abroad. We are already in Figured out a way."

"Is there any clue now? How long will it take for us to get it?"

Professor Qiu fell silent about this question, and Professor Lan couldn't help but sigh.

He Jing understood that things were not going well, "Is it because I can't buy it temporarily?"

"Where can't buy it, it's those profiteers..." Professor Lan's anger was almost gushing out, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

Professor Qiu reassured him, and helped to explain: "I have already contacted many material suppliers through the Foreign Trade Bureau, and they offer very high prices."

Professor Lan was even more indignant, "Those profiteers just saw that we urgently needed to import Nb metal, and they all took advantage of us. They didn't mean that the sales target for this year had been sold out, or they needed to apply to the higher-ups for re-coordination. Then there are important resources, No sales to the country of flowers. Also, they are desperately raising prices, and the price they sell to us is ten times that of people from country M! Do you think this is annoying?"

Until now, he felt that he was furious, and he was very unhappy. What he thought would be relatively simple has become like this. It stands to reason that if he pays the money, the other party will just sell it.In the final analysis, Huaguo's strength is too weak now, and those people just think that they can bully them and squeeze them.What's even more exasperating is that they still have to buy it.

He Jing also understands Professor Lan's feelings, isn't this just taking advantage of others' danger, and it is still so blatantly intimidating, as if you have no choice if you don't buy it.

Professor Qiu looked a little frustrated, "I have contacted a lot of people recently, but unfortunately there is not much I can do but pay, but how can our research funds be used like this, there are still many places to spend money in the future." He I was also very annoyed, it would be great if Huaguo also had good quality Nb metal, why not!

He Jing thought for a while, "Professor Qiu, are you mainly contacting the mining company in Pakistan?"

Professor Qiu shook his head, "I've contacted people from Pakistan and Canada, and you know that those two countries work with country M, and their attitudes are similar." In such an inch, it just grows in those two countries.

"What about other countries?"

Professor Lan said with some regret: "Most of the Nb metal in the world is in these two countries. I don't know much about other countries, and there must be very few of them. Maybe the quality is similar to that of our flower country."

"I seem to have heard that there are also some countries, but the output is not high. I need to ask, see if I can get some back for the time being. As for the follow-up, we can talk slowly. To be honest, the international Nb There is a surplus of metals. It is said that in recent years, the ore output of several major mines has been increasing. We can slowly suffer with them, and one day they will not be able to hold on."

Professor Lan cheered up immediately, and asked He Jing anxiously, "Quickly ask which countries, we must buy back the things as soon as possible, let Pakistan and Canada go to hell!" People suddenly saw hope, and Professor Lan was really excited and anxious.But he was a little worried, fearing that this plan would come to naught.

He Jing thought for a while, "Kenni, Su and Nigeria seem to have all of them. I think it's most convenient to get them from Su."

"The first one is that the ideology is similar. Although there were conflicts before, they didn't cause too much dispute. What's more, the country of Su is now chaotic and there are many factions. As long as they have supplies, they can sell almost anything."

The most suitable and most likely place is the country of Su. Right now, the country of Su is in chaos, the situation is very bad, the society is in turmoil, domestic supplies are in short supply, and the currency system is on the verge of collapse.Their heavy industry is well developed, but their light industry and agriculture are weak. Many people find it difficult to buy enough food.Therefore, all kinds of gold diggers followed. Many people on the border of Huaguo used to make a fortune. As long as a box of canned food can be exchanged for a lot of industrial products.Cloth, cotton, etc. are very popular in Suzhou.

And this time is also the most chaotic time in the Soviet Union. There are countless courageous people who steal and sell state-owned assets. Even airplanes and cannons can be sold for money and materials, and those money and materials are put in personal purse.

From the country of Hua to the country of Su, there is a long border line. Although the benefits are great, of course there are also many dangers.However, many people have made a fortune by relying on this. These people have legal operations, but there are many people who take advantage of loopholes.In the past two years, the state has been cracking down on this illegal speculation.

"Hey, your idea is very good, but isn't this kind of behavior bad?" Professor Qiu was a little moved, but hesitant. To put it bluntly, this is poaching the corner of the Soviet Union. After all, they are state units. These things are not very good.

Professor Lan didn't agree with his idea, and said directly: "What's wrong, we also trade fairly, pay with one hand and deliver with the other, very good!"

He Jing smiled and persuaded: "You can't say that. In fact, we are also doing good deeds. The two parties need each other in the transaction. Su's economy is depressed, and there is a large shortage of daily necessities, while their heavy industry supplies and raw materials are too much. , we can definitely help them consume it."

Professor Qiu was taken aback. He didn't expect such a saying, but he had to say that He Jing's idea also made sense. The key was the lack of people, otherwise there would be no business.

Shaking his head helplessly, Professor Qiu smiled wryly, "You!"

He Jing said very seriously: "Professor Qiu, I think this is a very good time for Huaguo. Official actions are inconvenient, so we can use private actions. The Soviet Union is in chaos right now. As long as there are enough canned food and textiles, We can exchange a lot of technology, raw materials, and industrial and defense supplies from there."

Professor Qiu didn't expect He Jing's thoughts to be so big, he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, "You...you're making trouble!"

Professor Lan was also taken aback. It may be that at this age, many of their thoughts have formed directional thinking.And Huaguo has always believed in the golden mean of treating people with courtesy, friendship and mutual assistance.Regarding the Su country, their general thinking is not to take advantage of it. He Jing's statement is a bit surprising.

"How can this be counted as adding insult to injury? We are helping neighboring countries. And now that many countries have become independent from the Soviet Union, and many countries' systems have changed, it is uncertain what the future of the Soviet Union will be like. Now many of the Soviet Union Scientists can’t get enough to eat, and they don’t have the funds and energy to do research. Isn’t it a waste to just put a lot of things there?”

"If we can get those technologies from Su, our country's technology will definitely develop more rapidly."

Talking about money didn't appeal to Professor Qiu and the others, but when it came to technology, Professor Qiu and the others immediately became excited.Even though friendly diplomatic relations have been established, the country's technological blockade against them is still rigid. Huaguo needs to spend a lot of foreign exchange if it wants to obtain a technology. Even so, there are still many technologies that the other party does not sell.

"Then let's report and see if we can let people try it." After hesitating for a while, let's talk about the later things. You can try the previous purchase of Nb metal. Professor Qiu thinks that He Jing's idea can be tried.

Professor Lan also had the same thought, "Let's try it! But we still have to import from Pakistan later, right?"

He Jing nodded, "Of course, Su's output is only so small."

Professor Lan sighed, "This is still a troublesome thing!"

"Professor Lan, have you ever thought about using a company on Hong Kong Island to purchase as an agent, or directly set up a related company in country M, and after buying the shares, transfer a few more hands before returning to China."

In fact, this kind of behavior has already existed, especially for some devices that are banned from sale abroad, they will transfer them multiple times through various relationships until they get back to some countries with relatively small restrictions or more pro-flower countries. "

"Hey, your idea is very good. Isn't that how the detector we bought before works like this?" Professor Qiu patted his head, as if he just realized it.

"Yes, yes, the big deal is to change a few more companies. Anyway, the method is more difficult than the difficulty." Professor Lan also thinks it is very good, no wonder they didn't think of it before, after all, it was a one-shot deal before, and the actions were very secretive. Mainly because you can't buy it. Nb can be bought, but the price is expensive, and it needs to be imported for a long time, so they are a little unresponsive.

At present, they have a good relationship with Hong Kong Island. Many patriotic businessmen have returned to China to support the construction of their hometown. They can purchase through these Hong Kong Island businessmen.After all, Hong Kong Island still belongs to country Y at the moment, and those countries are not so vigilant about Hong Kong Island, so it is easier to buy these things.

After deciding what to do, Professor Qiu couldn't stay any longer. Time was urgent, and a day's delay in the experiment would be a loss. "Okay, He Jing, you can go back to work first. This is what Professor Lan and I will do in a hurry. The required materials will be shipped back shortly."

He Jingjing nodded, knowing that they could not be delayed, said good morning and left the conference room.

Professor Qiu's actions were really fast. After ten days, there was a sufficient amount of Nb metal in the laboratory, and all of them were high-quality raw materials that could meet the experimental needs. Obviously, they were shipped from Su. Yes, it can only be done so quickly from the country of Su.From Pakistan and Canada, I don't know how long it will take to float on the sea.

The material test soon entered an extremely busy stage, and He Jing also supported it. The structural design is almost ready now, and some specific data have to wait for the materials to come out. Qin Ling can complete the follow-up work alone.On the contrary, the material team is in urgent need of manpower. For this reason, Professor Qiu still needs a few assistants.

In the laboratory, He Jing is processing the metal objects in his hands, reducing the impurities in Nb and Ti elements, and then further processing them, mixing and sintering, arc melting, and finally forming alloys.This is a job that requires a lot of patience. Temperature, stability, proportion, and fine craftsmanship require He Jing to concentrate on each item without being distracted.

Around him, many people are doing the same work as him, but they either operate in different ways, or have different temperatures, and also choose different auxiliary metals.

He Jing knows that the better low-temperature superconducting material is NbTi alloy, which is made of Nb metal and Ti metal, but he does not know more specifically, including temperature and many other conditions. of.Right now he needs to conduct constant experiments, and finally tell others that his direction is the most correct.

"Dr. He, are you still working on Ti metal synthesis?" Jiang Nandu, who had just finished an experiment, walked up to He Jing and asked He Jing in an unclear manner.These days, everyone has tested many possibilities, and many elements have been abandoned. Almost many people are focusing on the Ti element.

After preliminary experimental tests, Zr elements can have a good reaction with Nb elements, so far it seems to be the most likely direction of success, and now almost everyone's eyes are focused on these two elements.

Except He Jing, He Jing has been studying Ti metal since the beginning of the research, and it seems that Ti metal is most suitable to be synthesized together with Nb metal.It was easy to say when there was no direction at the beginning, but now that the direction has been revealed, many people can't understand it, and feel that He Jing is doing useless work and wasting manpower and material resources.

He Jing tested the compound on the table with an instrument, observed the specific data, and just nodded when he heard Jiangnandu's words.

"Dr. He, have you really identified the Ti element? But the Ti element is very active, and it is very troublesome to eliminate the impurities in it. The two elements have different melting points and densities, and it is very troublesome to balance the difference. It is difficult to manufacture alloys. balanced."

"I think it would be good to use Zr elements. Preliminary experiments have proved that alloys combining Zr elements with Nb elements have superconductivity..."

Even though He Jing didn't pay much attention to him, Jiang Nandu still stood beside He Jing and talked, he felt that he was kindly persuading him.At present, most people in the laboratory insist on using Zr element, which can be said to have some preliminary results, but only He Jing has been insisting on using Ti element.And it's just a waste of time.

His thoughts are also normal. It has been almost a month and a half since the beginning of the experiment. Excluding some wasted time in the early stage, it has been almost a month. He Jing's persistence has continued until now.At the beginning, everyone just touched the stones randomly, so the things they chose were different.But now everyone's ideas are almost unified, and He Jing is the only one who does not take the usual path. It is inevitable that some people will have opinions, thinking that he is a waste of time and materials.Some people even think that He Jing is not a material professional, and the knowledge he relies on is amateur level, so he shouldn't do this experiment with them, and it's better to go back there and continue to make structural drawings.

After all, they are also very anxious about the experiment. After all, they came from S City, and it has been almost two months. Who doesn't want to finish work early and go home!Most of them have wives and children, so they naturally miss their families after being out for a long time.

On the contrary, Professor Lan thinks it doesn't matter if he has more ideas, and has always supported He Jing, but it is more likely because they bought Nb elements from Su at a much lower price than expected, so they don't care about He Jing's waste , Maybe it will surprise them!

The people around him were really noisy, He Jing felt as if there were thousands of ducks calling in his ears, and all the data in his hand were wrongly written.Although he knew that the other party was kind enough to persuade him, but he really didn't need such kindness.

He stopped and looked at Jiangnan Du expressionlessly, "Can you go back to do the experiment quietly?"

Jiang Nandu smiled embarrassingly, pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, and then put it down, "I'm doing it for your own good, and I don't want you to take detours." Why did Dr. He look a little scary this time? He was not like this before. It's easy to get along with, maybe he's angry.

He Jing's face was pale, his eyelids drooped, and he didn't look at people. He just said casually: "We haven't reached the end yet, how do you know it's a detour? You have your own ideas, I think it's good, but I think mine is better, and I insist that my idea is right, so I don't plan to change it, and you don't need to persuade me any more."

Jiang Nandu's stiff smiling face finally stopped smiling. He was slightly annoyed, but he kindly reminded him that even if he is a doctor who came back from country M, he doesn't need to have such an attitude. He doesn't know good people.He felt a little embarrassed, after all, they were professionals in the field of materials, but He Jing had no majors, at most he just took a few courses.

He didn't want to pay attention to He Jing anymore, so let it be if he didn't listen to the persuasion, "It's up to you." Throwing down the three words, Jiang Nandu hurriedly left He Jing's side, and returned to his seat a little angrily.

Their movement was not small, and several people around saw it, but no one said anything. They were older, and even if they had some thoughts, they would not express them so easily, but kept them in their hearts. More importantly If Professor Lan didn't object to He Jing's research, then what they said would probably be useless. At most, it would give some influence, but they had already given it.A few researchers who admired He Jing very much before also felt that He Jing had drifted away, and his attitude had also changed subtly.

That is to say, everyone is just a researcher. Although they don't like this waste of materials, they won't really do any conspiracy, so the laboratory is relatively peaceful.At most, it's just a little out of words, and then I don't communicate with He Jing very much.

He Jing wasn't very familiar with them at all, research was more important in his mind, so he didn't care too much about what these people thought, at most he just suffered some gossip these days, which was unavoidable anywhere.

At the end of another day, everyone around him has already left, and only He Jing is still doing experiments in the laboratory. He arranged a lot of experiments today and wasted some time, so he is busy until now.

The experimental building is a quiet place, and it is even quieter at night when there are fewer people.

He Jing stared at his experiment intently, his mind had blocked everything from the outside world, so he didn't realize that a person came in just halfway through his experiment.

The man walked very lightly, afraid of disturbing He Jing and affecting his experiment, he almost came in on tiptoe, standing quietly behind He Jing, observing his experiment, without any intention of disturbing, waiting Then he finished the experiment.

He Jing didn't notice it at all. Time passed and the experiment finally came to an end. He Jing carefully recorded the data, then put away his things, closed the equipment, took off the protective glasses, and relaxed his muscles and bones.

"It's over?" Suddenly a voice came, and He Jing was taken aback. He hurriedly turned around, but unexpectedly saw an unexpected person.

"Teacher?" It wasn't Professor Qiu or Lan, but Professor Han, the dean of their physics department, the head of the laboratory, and his teacher, Professor Han.

"Why did you come here?" Although they are working in the same building now, Professor Han is the dean and in charge of a laboratory. He is really busy and doesn't really spend many days in the laboratory.And He Jing is also very busy. He is on a business trip and rarely gets off work on time. The two haven't seen each other for a long time. This will be a real surprise.

Professor Han looked at He Jing and saw that he was in a good state of mind. It seemed that staying here was good, so he was satisfied.He smiled, "It's rare for me to be free for a while, so I just want to try my luck to see if you are still in the laboratory. I didn't expect this luck to be so good. I saw someone all at once. How? All right?"

"It's all good, and I live a fulfilling life every day." It was rare to see the teacher, and He Jing didn't want to say bad things, after all, these were nothing to him.

Professor Han pointed at He Jing helplessly, "You, you still have this kind of personality, you are not considerate at all. I am your teacher, I am asking you if I want to be polite to you. You say these words to deal with me. .”

He Jing could only smile, as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Okay, let's find a place to chat. I also care about the work I care about. After all, you are my student and represent my face."

He Jingtou agreed, and kept the door of the laboratory. The two left the laboratory and walked around the trails in the campus. It was midsummer, and the vegetation was in full bloom. To be honest, there were a lot of mosquitoes.But it's good to go out for a walk at night like this, the moonlight is beautiful and the stars are shining.

After walking quietly for a while, Professor Han sighed softly and said slowly, "Is there a big gap between domestic and foreign countries?"

How should I say this?The truth is not very pleasant.

Professor Han seemed to know his hesitation, and continued: "To be honest, do you still need to cover up in front of me?"

Then tell the truth!

"The gap is indeed quite large. Many of the equipment we use are obsolete compared to country M. Their laboratory management is stricter, such as aseptic, intelligent processing, and management is also stricter. Everyone is responsible. The mission is also clearer, and the important thing is that they have no shortage of talents."

Every year, there are countless people who immigrate to country M, almost most of whom are high-tech talent immigrants. It can be said that the world's top talents tend to go there. It seems to be the center of the world, even if they were educated by red Didn't the Hua Country people also take risks to stay?Naturally there is enough there to entice them.

Professor Han has known this for a long time. Although there is some fluctuation in his heart, it is not very big. He is just a little regretful. Some regret that their country missed several development opportunities, but this time they will definitely not miss it again. working hard.

No longer mentioning this topic, Professor Han talked about He Jing's project, "I heard that your project is progressing slowly, but I didn't expect your first project to experience so many twists and turns." As a laboratory The person in charge, Professor Han naturally has an understanding of the projects under his management, and almost knows what happened in it. After all, Professor Qiu will also report to him.

He Jing naturally knew that he would know, and nodded, "The project is going well so far, and it is estimated that the results will be produced within the scheduled time."

With previous experience, they expect to complete the project within two years. Of course, if suitable low-temperature superconducting materials can be researched in advance, their project completion time may be greatly advanced.

For Professor Han, he just nodded, "That's pretty good."

"You have done a lot of things and solved a lot of problems not long after you entered the laboratory. Professor Qiu praised you very much. I said before that I would replace you, but he almost gave away my desk. It just made me wonder if it was Professor Qiu who saw you for the first time, and he didn't want you very much at that time!"

Thinking of the previous scene, He Jing couldn't help laughing, it was indeed like a different person.
