Material Empire

"Why, you understand?" Qin Hai asked bluntly.

"Well, I understand." Xia Yangjie replied affirmatively, he didn't care about the disrespect in Qin Hai's question, because he had already been immune to such disrespect.

Qin Hai smiled: "Mr. Xia, you are quite frank."

"I really understand." Xia Yangjie said, "At least in the entire Pujiang Jiaotong University, I have never met anyone who understands fiber winding better than me. I don't think you can find such a person."

"Pujiang Jiaotong University...isn't a particularly big place." Qin Hai said with a smile. He couldn't figure out Xia Yangjie's way, but he had already derogated all the people in the chemical engineering department before, so it doesn't matter if he adds another Xia Yangjie now. He and Lu Xiaolin were already planning to leave, so they didn't bother to argue with Xia Yangjie at this moment.

Xia Yangjie's face turned red, it was not a sign of shame, but the resentment caused by Qin Hai choking on a sentence for no reason. He held his head up and said: "As far as the country is concerned, there may be someone who knows better than me, but I have never encountered it. I have read all the papers on the issue of filament winding in domestic journals, and I think these papers are not as good as I!"

"Haha, it's interesting." Qin Hai became interested in Xia Yangjie. This kind of arrogant person is either a mediocre person who is overconfident, or a real genius. If it's the former, Qin Hai doesn't mind tidying it up again, it's still a good feeling to hit someone in the face with knowledge; but if it's the latter, then he has found a treasure.

"Sit down and talk over there." Qin Hai pointed to a small stone bench next to a stone table under the wisteria trellis, and said.

The three came to the stone table and sat down respectively. Sitting opposite Xia Yangjie, Lu Xiaolin looked him up and down with interest, thinking that he was very interesting. Xia Yangjie didn't pay attention at first, but after being stared at by Lu Xiaolin for a long time, he just felt a little uncomfortable all over, and his face also felt a little hot.

"Xiao Lu, didn't Director Yang tell you that it's impolite to stare at a gentleman?" Qin Hai said to Lu Xiaolin with a smile. It's getting bigger and bigger.

"What do you mean staring? I'm interviewing, okay?" Lu Xiaolin retorted with a smile, but she saw that Xia Yangjie was embarrassed by her staring, so she stopped teasing him and turned her head away Looking at the young students coming and going on the road, they looked like a nympho girl.

"Mr. Xia, you just said that no one in the whole country knows better about fiber winding than you. How are you going to prove this?" Qin Hai returned to the topic and asked Xia Yangjie.

Xia Yangjie had just escaped from Lu Xiaolin's gaze, and his mind was still a little dizzy. Hearing Qin Hai's words, he froze for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "I can't prove it."

"Can't prove it?" Qin Hai rubbed his forehead with his hands, "You mean, we should believe that you are the best master of fiber winding theory in China based on your words?"

Xia Yangjie said: "That's not true. I have my own achievements and some immature ideas, which can prove my level. However, it needs someone who can understand these achievements to prove that these achievements are valuable .”

"Am I one of them?" Qin Hai asked with a smile, Xia Yangjie's conceit, Qin Hai also had it before, he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

Xia Yangjie asked back: "I don't know what background Secretary Qin is from."

"I... I learned casting." Qin Hai said helplessly. It was indeed written in this way on his academic certificate. His answer was somewhat deceptive, because he was actually a casting technician, not a casting student. professional college students.

Xia Yangjie said: "Then I'm afraid Secretary Qin can't understand my thesis. Those who major in casting should not know differential geometry."

"You'd better let me take a look at it. We really can't find anyone who knows differential geometry better than me in our localization office." Qin Hai imitated Xia Yangjie's tone and said.

Xia Yangjie was amused by Qin Hai. He is actually a very easy-going person, different from the aloofness of some scholars. He opened the notebook he brought, pushed it in front of Qin Hai, pointed with his finger, and said, "This is the content, please read it, Secretary Qin... If you don't understand, you can ask me."

Qin Hai took the notebook and flipped through it leisurely. Qin Hai understands the concept of filament winding. Qin Hai also had some contact with the development direction of the filament winding theory. As a material scientist, his mathematical skills are very good. Although he can't reach Xia Yangjie's level, he can still see the clues of the models listed by Xia Yangjie.

"What you are doing here is a study of the functional relationship between the winding structure and the load mass of the material?" Qin Hai asked in a deep voice after reading a few pages.

"That's right, that's right." Xia Yangjie replied in surprise, he didn't expect that Qin Hai could really understand the pile of calculations he listed.

Qin Haidao: "But why did you only write a research idea, but there was no result?"

Xia Yangjie had a depressed expression on his face. He said, "This relationship cannot be calculated by hand. It must be solved with the help of a high-speed computer and the finite element method. I cannot do this."

"Finite element is not a cutting-edge technology, isn't Teacher Xia capable?" Qin Hai said.

Xia Yangjie said: "I'm not talking about finite elements, but high-speed computers. I can't apply for enough computer time."

"I understand." Qin Hai nodded. The amount of calculation of finite element analysis is very huge, and later generations are all realized with the help of computers. The high-speed computer Xia Yangjie mentioned was actually as fast as a slightly higher-end personal computer in later generations, but it was a rare item back then. Pujiang Jiaotong University has a medium-sized computer with dozens of terminals, but the computer time of these terminals is very strictly allocated to each department. Xia Yangjie is a marginalized figure in the chemical engineering department, so naturally he cannot apply for these precious ones. time.

Scrolling down, Qin Hai's expression became more and more solemn. Although most of Xia Yangjie's studies are just theoretical conjectures, with Qin Hai's foresight, he knows that these ideas are very correct, and many ideas coincide with the theories proposed later. It is conceivable that if Xia Yangjie is given a good enough opportunity, many theories on filament winding will not be proposed by foreign scholars, and some related patents will not fall into the hands of foreign companies.

"Have you not shown these things to other scholars?" Qin Hai asked.

Xia Yangjie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who would be interested?"

"Then you... plan to bury these things in your notebook?" Qin Hai asked again.

Xia Yangjie said sadly: "Who knows... I have a classmate who is in the United States now, and he invited me over. If..., well, maybe I plan to go out next year or two."

"Good to go abroad, several of my classmates have gone abroad." Lu Xiaolin turned her eyes away from those handsome guys on the road, looked at Xia Yangjie, and interjected.

Xia Yangjie was already a little allergic to Lu Xiaolin's gaze. Seeing Lu Xiaolin looking at him, he quickly looked away and said, "It's not good to go out. My classmate has changed to work on computers now. There is a shortage of computers in the United States." People who work in computers are very good at finding jobs. However, my interest is not there. When I was in college, I didn’t learn discrete mathematics well.”

"Is discrete mathematics related to computers?" Lu Xiaolin asked strangely.

"Is it okay?" Xia Yangjie asked in a strange tone.

"I don't know either..." Lu Xiaolin smiled. She pointed to Qin Hai and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't be bullied by Xiao Qin."

Qin Hai ignored Lu Xiaolin's nonsense, and asked Xia Yangjie, "What do you think about catching up with the two of us?"

Xia Yangjie said: "I heard that you have a research project on free-form filament winding technology. I also have some accumulation in this area, so I would like to ask if I can participate in this project."

"This is a practice-oriented topic, and I'm worried that Teacher Xia won't be interested." Qin Hai said. From Xia Yangjie's notes, Qin Hai could feel that he was a theoretical geek who was obsessed with mathematical derivation, and doing these very practical-oriented subjects locally might seem boring to Xia Yangjie.

Xia Yangjie shook his head and said: "Theory is for practice. In fact, the research I have done has fully considered the feasibility in practice. In addition, some of my ideas also need to be confirmed in practice. Now I'm just worried that my professional title is not high enough to meet your requirements."

"Professional title?" Qin Hai smiled. How can a person who is in the academic circle not know the tricks in the title. A person with the title of professor may only be able to educate people but not teach; a person who has been a lecturer for a lifetime may not have no real talent and learning. People like Xia Yangjie do things that are incompatible with other people in the department. Even the editors of academic journals can't understand his thinking. It's strange that he can get a senior title.

He thought so in his heart, but Qin Hai didn't show it. He finally had a reason to make things difficult for Xia Yangjie, so he wouldn't just let it go.

"What is Teacher Xia's title now?" Qin Hai asked.

"I'm a lecturer." Xia Yangjie said.

Qin Hai pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "This is a bit difficult. When we recruit project leaders, we always require senior professional titles. Teacher Xia only has an intermediate professional title. It may be difficult to be in charge of a project. "

"Is that so..." Xia Yangjie's face was gloomy. It was really frustrating to win Qin Hai's recognition of his knowledge with great difficulty, but he was unable to do so because of his professional title. He was silent for a while, stood up, and said gloomily, "Since that's the case, then I won't bother you two."

"Teacher Xia, please stay." Seeing Xia Yangjie about to leave, Qin Hai hurriedly stopped him and said, "Teacher Xia, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet."

"Secretary Qin, please tell me," Xia Yangjie said.

Qin Haidao: "Ms. Xia's job title is a lecturer. We directly entrust you with a research topic, which is not in compliance with the rules. However, if Mr. Xia agrees, we would like to ask Mr. Xia to come to the localization office to help for a period of time. Let's get acquainted with everyone. After a while, we can hand over the subject to Teacher Xia according to the standards of talents with special talents, what does Teacher Xia think?"

"That's totally fine!" Xia Yangjie replied as a matter of course, "Anyway, I don't take any courses now, and I don't have any scientific research tasks. I can definitely go to your place to help for a few days. However, specific procedures may need to be completed, such as yours. Send a secondment letter to our school or something."

"It's not difficult. Teacher Xia, go back and wait. We will finish the relevant procedures within a week." Qin Hai said cheerfully.
