Chapter 819: Chapter 435 Shen Binghe: You’re Still Lacking That Little Bit!_1

Wang Zhifang had dedicated his life to the development of alloy materials and quickly pinpointed the issue in Zhao Yi’s words.

In the research and development of alloy materials, theory indeed accounts for a very small part, and the chance of producing direct results from a perfect argument is also very slim, but it’s still much better than an argument with many inexplicable issues.

For instance, an argument that makes sense in every way might increase the likelihood of enhancing product performance by ten percent.

An argument with many unexplainable problems, perhaps, would only have a one percent chance of improving the final product’s performance.

The difference lies here.

’Trial and error’ is hard to define.

Every experimental design argument consists of several steps, and if the final product’s performance isn’t enhanced, it’s hard to say which step caused the issue.

Of course, it cannot be denied that if the final product’s performance is improved, but not significantly, it’s even harder to identify the impactful step, so there’s some truth to what Zhao Yi said.

What comforted Wang Zhifang was that Zhang Hongtao’s argument had been affirmed, but he didn’t expect that Zhao Yi needed ’trial and error,’ not a perfect argument that would directly yield results.

"They’ve chosen the wrong direction!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Wang Zhifang felt the frustration of being forced to yield to ’leadership’. He couldn’t help but think, "If it were me leading, I would certainly accept Hong Tao’s argument and directly pass on Shen Binghe’s."

"Sigh~"

What can be done now?

Accept it!

Wang Zhifang shook his head in resignation, and only when he looked up again did he realize that everyone was looking at him, "What’s the matter?"

He was momentarily stunned before realizing that it was his turn to present the experimental design report.

But...

Zhang Hongtao’s argument had been directly suppressed, and his own argument, even more ’perfect’, would certainly be rejected, right?

Wang Zhifang shook his head and said, "Since the first experiment has been decided, I won’t report anymore, I will go back and ponder it, make some modifications."

"Hong Tao should as well."

"We will modify and perfect it together."

...

After completing the individual argument reports and determining that Shen Binghe’s design would be the first experiment, Zhao Yi began discussing the allocation of experimental work.

The manufacturing experiment of alloy materials is a major undertaking, not like biomedical research where one tinkers with vessels in the lab and then it’s over. The experiment requires very high specifications for equipment and the environment, and also needs cooperation from 307 Steel Plant.

When distributing the work, Zhao Yi certainly took into account the Metal Materials Laboratory, since the working environment of the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory was much more high-end and comprehensive than that of the Metal Materials Laboratory, but as they were collaborating on research and development, not everything could be carried out in the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

The initial steps that did not require a special environment or equipment were completed in the operation rooms of the Metal Materials Laboratory.

This was also considering that the equipment in the Metal Materials Laboratory was all brand new, and new equipment also needed to be ’broken in’; otherwise, if equipment was introduced and not used, it would seem somewhat wasteful.

The other steps were carried out in the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory and in their own small-scale military-factory. Calling it a military-factory wouldn’t be precise, as it began producing civilian steel materials twenty years ago and, due to geographic and equipment issues, simply ended its ’military’ use and was handed over to Aerospace University for the use of the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

This smaller-scale steel plant was very valuable for alloy material research, such as some high-temperature, high-pressure equipment that could not possibly be housed in the lab’s operation rooms and was thus shifted to the factory, which also had high-end, specialized equipment.

Zhao Yi sorted out the environment and equipment needed for the subsequent manufacturing of K03A and found that the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory had it all, and he couldn’t help but lament the gap between the two sides in terms of basic scientific research equipment.

He still had to take care of the Metal Materials Laboratory, so he decided to place the testing work there as well.

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao’s mouths twitched.

Most of the experimental process was completed in the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory, and when it came to testing the resulting product, it had to be done at Yanhua University?

"This is too bullying!"

"How can they do this!"

"If it really yields results, the location must be the Metal Materials Laboratory, it must be Yanhua University?"

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao exchanged glances, feeling very stifled, but they didn’t say a word, nor did they have the confidence to argue, as Zhao Yi was the leader of the research and development team, leading them together in the development.

Then there was the issue of funding.

The Metal Composite Materials Laboratory had only secured five million, and this definitely wouldn’t be enough for the subsequent experimental designs; they still needed to hope for Zhao Yi’s ’aid’.

Zhao Yi was not stingy with funding. freёweɓnovel.com

Using the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory’s equipment and materials was all charged directly to the project’s funds, meaning that most of the expenses for the designed experiments and verification process came from the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory.

Additionally, the cooperation from 307 Steel Plant also depended on Zhao Yi’s influence. Otherwise, Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao’s money might not even be enough to encourage their participation.

When you have money, you’re the boss!

Wang Zhifang and Zhang Hongtao could only keep their opinions to themselves.

With the general experimental workflow and assignments planned, it was time to devise targeted experimental schemes.

Shen Binghe’s experimental design plan, simply put, involved determining three points to add the element rhenium, because one needed to interrupt the production process of K03A. One procedure was also modified, controlling the temperature from twelve hundred degrees Celsius to three thousand two hundred degrees Celsius.
