Chapter 63: No Rabbit, No Eagle
Of course, Zhong Bai would not tell him that in the late 1980s and the new century, RB continued to send all kinds of interested people to the Chinese rare earth elements, from using things and technology to buying with money, or even using fraud. Anyway, they were all doing everything they could to try to get a large number of rare earth elements from China back to RB.
Because rare earth elements are extremely important strategic materials in the military industry's production of high-end products, RB is an island country. Although rare earth elements have reserves but are not rich enough, they are always unavailable to using their coffin books, so they set their minds on the vast and vast Chinese country.
The RB people’s consideration is the idea of “I don’t move myself, use yours first, so that you can reduce your reserves and increase your reserves in disguise. Wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds”?
So, Zhong Bai had to vaguely say: "This has nothing to do with which country. It is best to export a piece of strategic materials such as rare earth elements without a single penny. It is best to use all of them for your own use. Of course, rb is just the developed Western country closest to us."
"Okay, since that's the case," Tong Sifang felt that he had been brainwashed by Zhong Bai's point of view. He fell on the back of the seat powerlessly and murmured: "This topic is really not feasible to study? Then, I have prepared so much before, and now it seems that I can't even make a project. Isn't it a waste of effort?"
This was even a bit miserable. Zhong Bai certainly knew that an associate professor was enthusiastic about a new topic with great potential, but when he learned that the topic had no research significance, he could only stop it.
This is not just a question of whether there is funding or whether there is personnel investment, but the aspiring scientific researchers in this era, such as Tong Sifang, who feel that they are working for the country in a new direction and suddenly say "no".
In his previous life, Zhong Bai had seen many researchers of all levels expressing disappointment when they were announced that the research project would not be approved at this stage. But to be honest, no one has expressed it so purely and selflessly.
This associate professor really wants to do something for the country.
Zhong Bai suddenly felt that his cooking was too direct and cruel?
Originally, the other party had a new idea and was ecstatic, and he was directly extinguished by a basin of cold water. Well, it was a bit too much.
So Zhong Bai's mind turned around and remembered another direction, and said to Tong Sifang, who was a little lost, "Professor Tong, although this topic is indeed unrealistic at the moment, there is also a topic of fertilizer product innovation. I personally think it is quite appropriate. I wonder if you are interested in establishing a project?"
"Huh? The topic of fertilizer product innovation?" Tong Sifang came alive like a fish on a dry riverbed suddenly being put into the water, asking, "What new ideas do you have?"
"Well, that's right. I saw such a report in the newspaper yesterday, which is about "The Dilemma of Our Army in the Large-scale Development of Military Reclamation in the Southwest Frontiers"
Zhong Bai calmly threw out his idea of making special fertilizers and explained it to Tong Sifang from a conceptual perspective.
After listening to Zhong Bai's narration, Tong Sifang couldn't help but feel a little dazed. After a long time, he said: "I understand your idea, but why do you feel that this topic is even more unrealistic than the one I thought before? This kind of special fertilizer that can be used to target acidic soil according to local conditions. Can it be done at this stage?"
Zhong Bai nodded secretly. Tong Sifang was able to ask this question, which shows that he was indeed a little skillful, not a jingle of half a bucket of water.
Because the production of special fertilizers and its concepts actually appeared in the early 21st century.
Technical means are not that complicated, but there is little demand for this at this stage. The country's research on the fertilizer industry is mainly about how to increase production and reduce energy consumption and carry out large-scale production. Of course, this is also the consistent development direction of the fertilizer industry. A few decades later, a new concept of how to reduce environmental pollution has been added.
"It should be technically possible, but no one has studied this direction at present. As long as you put in a little effort, you can achieve results soon." Zhong Bai said affirmatively: "I believe that as long as Professor Tong is willing to do it, you will definitely do it!"
Zhong Bai actually has some ideas here.
With his current ability and resources he can use, it is not impossible to study special fertilizers suitable for acidic soil, but time does not allow it.
After all, the current pressure in innovation is very high. As long as it can be faster than one day, the time point for improving the current situation of Shanping County Fertilizer Factory can be one day ahead of schedule.
There is another point. If you really complete its research independently, it would probably be too high-profile.
Taking advantage of Tong Sifang's background in doing the project and being the main force to get it out, it is not only reasonable, but also compensates Professor Tong's injured heart. Isn't it a good thing to have the best of both worlds!
"Okay, changing a topic is also a good idea. Xiao Zhong, you said it too quickly just now. I haven't had time to make paper records yet." Tong Sifang was also very motivated and immediately reminded.
Zhong Bai smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this. I have a detailed paper record of the research and development ideas of special fertilizers in the factory. After I complete the procurement of e053a, I will immediately mail it to Tiandu."
This is just fooling Tong Sifang. There are no detailed paper records in the factory. It is clearly in Zhong Bai's mind, and you can take out paper and pen to write it down at any time!
But Tong Sifang wants it now? That won’t work. My problem has not been solved yet! Zhong Bai thought to himself.
Hehe, I am also a person who doesn’t see rabbits, eagles, ghosts, and strings.
Although innovation is imminent, compared to the urgent task of increasing nitrogen fertilizer output by triple within one month, it is obviously the latter is more important. Things must be prioritized, right?
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me this, sorry." Tong Sifang also smiled.
It is obvious that this associate professor is also a character who can remember to eat but not beat him. It is clear that Zhong Bai came to him this time to find him. The main purpose is to complete the e053a procurement work first, but Tong Sifang subconsciously considered himself and let Zhong Bai participate in the project. After being reminded by the other party, he came to his senses. He had to satisfy the wish of Shanping County Fertilizer Factory first!
