Chapter 824: Chapter 437 No One Is More Rigorous Than You_1

Metal Materials Laboratory.

For several days, the R&D team had been verifying Shen Binghe’s design. The process was filled with data, imagination, and debate. The verification of alloy material production design never had a one-hundred-percent certain answer. For instance, whether a particular step was beneficial to the final product’s performance could only be judged through experience and theoretical imagination. Not much needed to be said about experience, as there was too little relevant content to refer to for novel research—they could only rely on a small amount of data to illustrate the situation.

Everyone had different ideas, and even the theories could present several variations. When debating issues, it felt like they were engaged in philosophical inquiry rather than researching alloy materials.

But it was apparent that everyone was wholeheartedly striving to perfect the design. They were all members of the R&D team, and real breakthroughs would not only represent technological progress but would also add a significant achievement to each of their careers.

Wang Zhifang was no exception.

Although he already was an academician at the Engineering Academy and could not rise any higher in rank, he still hoped to see world-class research findings appear in his scientific career.

This time, he and Zhao Yi rarely shared the same view, both believing that starting from Shen Binghe’s design was a very good R&D direction since the experiments had already proven Shen’s design to be very promising.

The only regret was that his design could only stay in his backpack.

Wang Zhifang always carried his design with him, his mindset the same as the others who hoped to apply their designs to the experiments to see what kinds of products they could create. What others didn’t know was that he had continually been revising the design, considering the reasons why Shen Binghe’s design was accepted, he had even made a set of designs "full of flaws."

Of course, he carried it with him but didn’t intend to take it out proactively, harboring the faint hope that Zhao Yi would again propose "using the design with many problems." Then, he would pull out his design with disdain and say sarcastically, "Isn’t this just a beginner’s design? I whipped one up in no time!"

To make this design even more ’basic’, he kept revising and refining it, replacing the ’richly experienced’ and ’strictly verified’ steps with ’highly controversial’ ones.

"Too bad it’s of no use now!"

"No matter how much it’s revised, it’s futile. Even if they really were to choose another design, they wouldn’t consider this one!" Wang Zhifang thought somewhat regretfully.

The verification continued for a week. freewebnσvel.cøm

A week was relatively long because Shen Binghe’s design had already been put into experiments and had created products with improved performance. Normally, it wouldn’t take more than three days to verify each step one by one.

This also showed how seriously the R&D team took the verification process.

The initial pace was quick, with Zhao Yi swiftly eliminating several steps that ’negatively impacted the product’s performance’, leaving the ’uncertain’ and ’neutral impact’ steps.

The controversial aspects sometimes took a whole day to debate, which was a long time comparatively.

Actually, this was normal.

If you consider the cost of a single experiment, a few extra days of debate to make the design more rigorous was nothing.

Another reason for the lengthy duration was that the team had more time. For the first experiment, they weren’t fully prepared, mainly because the procurement of experimental materials hadn’t kept up. Materials required for alloy development couldn’t be found on the market and had to be purchased from specialized factories, some even requiring imported products.

During the first experiment, many of the materials were provided by He Guilin’s team from Factory 307. Considering the many experiments to come, it wasn’t feasible to rely solely on Factory 307 for supplies.

So they had to wait.

Two weeks later, once everything needed was ready, the R&D team immediately set to work on the second experiment.

Factory 307, the Metal Materials Laboratory, the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory, and He Guilin’s team all started to work together efficiently. The initial materials were produced by Factory 307 and quickly transported to the Metal Materials Laboratory.

After simple testing and processing, everyone from the R&D team, along with He Guilin’s team, went to the accompanying factory of the Metal Composite Materials Laboratory to carry out the experiment.

With the experience from the first experiment, the second time was much faster.

In less than two days, they reached the final step, where Zhao Yi again decided to divide the output into two parts, one using conventional cold rolling technology, and the other using more complex slow cooling technology.

Once the two products cooled to regular temperature, they were quickly shipped to the Metal Materials Laboratory. The R&D team along with He Guilin’s team also headed to the Metal Materials Laboratory to conduct final tests on the two products, with Li Rongmao and Zhang Hongtao still leading the testing.

This time Shen Binghe also participated.

Shen Binghe’s practical operation skills were still quite lacking, but the members of the R&D team had been working together for a long time and had good relations, especially those of similar age. They deliberately helped Shen Binghe, giving him a chance to sharpen his operational skills.

Zhang Hongtao took the initiative to pass the high-temperature gun to Shen Binghe, "Binghe, you give it a try!"

"The temperature of this thing is too high; be very careful!"

"If you can’t handle it, shall I do it? You need to control the temperature well and pay attention. We’re here to do testing, not to melt it down."
