In an office in a courtyard on campus, Professor Wei, a world-renowned scholar, is carefully reviewing the documents in his hands.
Zhou Jiao moved her feet in front of the desk and sat down on the sofa. She realized that if she didn't take the initiative, she would probably have to wait until the other party finished reading before she could rest.
With Zhang Guoqing's help, Zhou Jiao finally managed to organize all the documents before returning to school. Afterward, Zhou Jiao handed all the documents to her father, Zhou Xiaozheng, and shared her plans. After the three of them discussed their plans in the study, her father submitted the documents and arranged the follow-up. Zhou Jiao was then freed from her duties.
This time, as soon as the school started, Zhou Jiao handed Professor Wei a report on wind turbines without waiting for him to speak.
During her trip to the south, in addition to other coal, gasoline and diesel generators, she also noticed the 50-100W small wind turbines that were being researched and trial-produced by some scientific research institutions.
New energy, this eternal topic, suddenly made Zhou Jiao think of the Darrieus wind turbine.
This is the world's first lift-type vertical-axis wind turbine. It was invented by a foreign engineer named Darrieu and patented in 1931.
Due to some reasons, it has not been taken seriously until the late 1960s, when it was systematically developed in laboratories in Canada and the United States, and the Darrieus wind turbine became of practical value.
Soon after, the φ-shaped vertical-axis wind turbine was developed and put into practical use based on this design. Compared to all vertical-axis wind turbines, it has the highest wind energy utilization coefficient. All subsequent lift-type vertical-axis wind turbines were derived from this design.
Zhou Jiao secretly calculated the time. If Professor Wei supported this research, maybe under the suggestion of her cheating device, the experimental results would be made public first.
After a long time, Professor Wei took off his glasses, pinched his nose bridge, put his glasses back on, exhaled, and looked at the student in front of him.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiao's heart sank. She had taken it for granted.
really……
"Your report is excellent. Well, it's well-documented. You're committed to the country, and you deserve the country's support. The plan is sound, but the conditions aren't ripe yet."
Zhou Jiao listened to his dry, forced words with disappointment. If she hadn't known Professor Wei wasn't good with words, she would have burst out laughing in anger. How much effort had gone into this report? And just like that, it was refuted.
"Besides the experimental funding, the most crucial issue is finding additional research team members. Look at the points you mentioned: blades with suitable materials, variable-pitch wind rotors, and low-speed direct-drive permanent magnet motors. Putting aside other points, these alone require experts in aerodynamics, material mechanics, electronics, and low-speed generators."
Zhou Jiao lowered her head in silence.
"Many research institutes are currently researching and trial-producing small 50-100W wind turbines. It would be more appropriate for us to distribute these materials rather than researching them ourselves."
Zhou Jiao was startled when she heard this and quickly looked up at him. That's right, she wasn't after fame or profit, so wouldn't it be better to just give away all the information?
Professor Wei across from her clearly misunderstood and waved her hand to indicate she should listen to him first before expressing her opinion. "Zhou Jiao, I know you've put a lot of effort into this. But if we really want to launch a research project, we first need to hold a school-wide meeting to approve it, and then apply to higher authorities. Currently, with the exception of a few major research projects, these aren't guaranteed to be approved. After all, our country isn't wealthy. And even if they do get approved, it's hard to find talent."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Zhou Jiao chuckled softly, "Professor, you don't think I'm reluctant to part with it, do you? Experience is always more valuable. I've decided to follow your advice and ask you to help mail it to those who need it. If it's convenient, please don't reveal my name."
Professor Wei looked at his student in surprise. No one else knew about this information, but he had seen some feasible solutions in it. If he had enough funds and materials, there was hope for success.
"Professor, it's settled then. I'll go back and give you all the remaining information. Keep it confidential!"
"Wait." Professor Wei saw that she was in a hurry to leave and hurriedly shouted, "What's the hurry?"
Zhou Jiao stopped and waited for his instructions with a faint smile.
"Everything's fine here, but don't forget last year's experimental assignments. This semester, our department's experimental direction is still moving towards high-parameter, large-capacity units. This is the top priority."
"Oh, I see."
Zhang Guoqing came out of the student union meeting and separated from everyone.
After walking for a while, Yi Jiefang, who was behind him, saw that there was no one around. He complained in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, you really make me die. They are all fighting for power and profit for themselves, but you are just a hands-off boss."
Zhang Guoqing was well aware of some future situations. Besides, his college life was just his starting point. Being kind to others was always better for him than confronting them. He... had long lost the passion of these young people.
Some things are difficult to say, but good brothers have to protect them. "Haha... How about we two brothers take them in as our younger brothers? Actually, you also understand why they are so hostile to each other, right? But do we need these things? Our starting point is different from theirs."
Yi Jiefang sighed helplessly and looked into the distance, "Yes, we have my misfortunes, and they have theirs."
Zhang Guoqing's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. This melancholic image really didn't suit him. What the hell was this "no illness, no illness" thing? And unfortunate? He'd had too many good days!
"I really don't want to stay in this crappy school anymore. These kids think we seniors are taking advantage, but they forget that a five-year program is much more demanding than a six-year program. Sigh, it's better to graduate early and leave."
Zhang Guoqing looked at him speechlessly and continued walking towards the dormitory. He wondered how his wife would fare when she went to Professor Wei's place today. If things didn't work out, he would have to find a way to comfort her.
What kind of fate is this for me? My wife is like this, my best friend is like this. These guys are just bored and have nothing better to do! Still want to graduate early? Starting a job will only make me more exhausted.
"Slow down, wait for me." Yi Jiefang quickly caught up with him, put his arm around his shoulders, and looked around. "Let them do whatever they want, or..."
Zhang Guoqing stopped and said sternly, "Dayi, listen to my advice. Life is full of ups and downs, and no one knows what the future holds. Perhaps one day we'll need each other's help. Let's keep each other company today so we can meet again someday."
After Zhang Guoqing finished speaking, he saw that he was still nonchalant, and felt a little discouraged, staring at him closely.
Yi Jiefang was so overwhelmed by his worried look that he could only nod: "Alright, I know you treat me as a brother, so I'll listen to you, okay? At most, if I don't like it in the future, I'll just walk away."
"Good brother!" Zhang Guoqing punched him and said with a smile, "Hurry up, my wife must be waiting anxiously."
Yi Jiefang was pulled by him and almost fell down. They were just good brothers, but now their friendship is over. Can they have fun together? This guy is definitely putting women before friends!
Once they arrived at the dormitory building, the two separated. Zhang Guoqing entered the room and saw Zhou Jiao copying documents. Curious, he went over to take a look and asked, "Did you pass?"
"without."
"Then why bother copying? Save it for when we open our own factory in the future."
Zhou Jiao looked up at him, smiled, and shook her head. "Your hopes are dashed. Professor Wei suggested giving it to those research and development institutions and letting them work on it. Here, I'll make a copy to keep as a souvenir."
Zhang Guoqing jokingly said, "Not bad, you're worthy of being a soldier's son!"
