Genius of the Rules-Style System

Chapter 821: Chapter 436: Little Wang, hard work!_1

Shen Binghe was so excited that he was speaking without thinking. Upon learning that his design had caused the melting point of K03A to increase, his morale skyrocketed like a rocket.

Previously, he had little confidence in his own design, feeling that it would be good enough if the melting point of K03A did not drop too much.

That was the whole requirement.

For a new design of an alloy material, even if it includes the addition of rare elements with higher melting points, the final product’s melting point may still decrease due to changes in the manufacturing process. Sometimes the end product can even turn into a pile of powder, completely unable to fuse together. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Of course, that is a rare occurrence.

But Shen Binghe didn’t hold out hope for his own design. Among the few in the R&D team, his abilities, skill level, and experience were the worst. The designs he produced were also questioned by others, indeed like what Wang Zhifang said, several places were chosen based on feeling, with no theoretical or data support.

Even though Zhao Yi put his design first, the reason was to use it as a trial and error.

That was somewhat discouraging!

It was like being the underachiever in a class about to take an exam, with everyone doubting his performance, and the teacher deciding to analyze his test paper first on the grounds of "seeing where everyone commonly makes mistakes." He seemed to have become a negative example, but after unveiling the test paper, he found...

The score, 99! ƒrēewebnovel.com

Saying he lost one point was to avoid demoralizing the others!

Shen Binghe himself found it incredible, but no matter how good the luck was, the fact was he had scored exceptionally well, and he suddenly felt much more at ease. Then he looked at those top students who usually looked down on him.

Ahem...

"If you don’t accept it, come and compare!"

That was Shen Binghe’s mentality, and for a moment, he got carried away. After calming down a bit, he still felt a little embarrassed, but the words had already been said and couldn’t be taken back. He blatantly ignored Wang Zhifang, telling the others such things as if it were just a joke, nothing serious, since they were all about the same age anyway.

Just because Shen Binghe could act as if Wang Zhifang didn’t exist, didn’t mean Wang Zhifang could do the same with him, as Shen Binghe’s words had included him.

"A small man triumphs!"

Wang Zhifang was sullen for quite some time before finally squeezing out a sentence, but he couldn’t say much.

Compare?

What a joke.

Even with his own design, which he considered perfect in its logic, it was hard to say whether it would increase the melting point of the end product, let alone by how much. Maybe a few degrees? Or a dozen?

That was hard to say.

Shen Binghe’s design increased the melting point of K03A by about thirty degrees. Plus, as Zhao Yi mentioned, slow cooling, that’s over a hundred degrees. Not considering the slow cooling factor, thirty degrees was already quite impressive, since the added rare element rhenium only accounted for about two percent of the alloy’s mass.

Even with a simple calculation based on mass proportion, the original melting point of K03A was 1431 degrees, and the rare metal rhenium’s melting point was 3180 degrees. With a two percent mass proportion, this would increase by (3180-1431)*0.02, or about 35 degrees Celsius. Shen Binghe’s design allowed the rhenium element to play no small role, and the slow cooling technique that Zhao Yi talked about enabled the rhenium element to perform efficiently, causing the product’s melting point to surge by another sixty degrees Celsius.

Wang Zhifang didn’t know what else to say.

This result could already be published as a significant achievement and would cause a sensation both domestically and internationally. The two previous melting point enhancement results published by 307 Steel Plant for K03A had only increased the melting point by a hundred degrees. But you have to know that raising the melting point from 1250 degrees to 1350 is not the same concept as raising it from 1430 to 1520 degrees.

The former can only be considered ’a good result,’ while the latter is ’internationally top-notch.’

Wang Zhifang simply ignored Shen Binghe, feeling frustrated by his success while also delighted that the R&D had made a breakthrough.

The others were celebrating as well.

Shen Binghe was indeed a little overexcited, but the increase in the product’s melting point was real. They continued to do strength tests while excitedly discussing the matter. However, in their discussions, there was no mention of "Shen Binghe." "It’s all thanks to Academician Zhao for having the vision. No wonder he decided to adopt this approach."

"Academician Zhao mentioned trial and error, but actually, he might have thought the approach was feasible and just said trial and error to consider our feelings."

"Right, that makes sense!"

"Academician Zhao really has insight! Trial and error was just an excuse; I see now, I get it!"

"Did you see the last part? Academician Zhao directly mentioned using the slow cooling technique, and the melting point shot up by 60 degrees."

"This is ability, this is level!"

"Following Academician Zhao in R&D, we’ll surely encounter no problems. Can we consider this a major achievement now?"

"..."

Zhao Yi was standing aside, watching with a smile on his face as if indifferent to the outcome, yet understanding everything clearly.

In reality, he was also quite surprised.

Melting point enhanced?

An increase in the melting point of the ’slow-cooled’ material was within expectations, but the original design’s melting point increased as well?

"Is Shen Binghe’s luck really that good?" Zhao Yi couldn’t help but curl his lips in amusement. The surprise was truly unexpected. Maybe that luck could be used to buy a lottery ticket, and perhaps win five million yuan?

Upon realizing Shen Binghe was standing beside him, Zhao Yi nodded in approval, "Professor Shen, your design is really fantastic."

"Thank you, Academician Zhao!"

Excitement still showed on Shen Binghe’s face.

Zhao Yi’s praise was heartfelt, as Shen Binghe’s design not only enhanced the product’s melting point but also through several modifications, he had come to conclusions that were ’unhelpful’ or even ’harmful’ in increasing the melting point—a successful ’trial and error.’
