Chapter 827 The Third Research Institute of the Han Tribe
During a working lunch, everyone decided on a new research project. Many researchers from other groups were stimulated. It was because the Optics Group had produced too many major achievements recently. First, the telescope, then the camera, and now they were going to develop the key to the new world. If they could accomplish this, it would be a great achievement.
Other rubber and chemical groups were studying basic materials or improving production processes. Although they also had many achievements, none of them could compare to the huge influence of the camera. No matter how powerful your mining and mineral processing is, no matter how efficient your metallurgy is, ordinary farmers can't see it. Now even the steam engine of the Power Research Institute is more famous than theirs, how can people not be angry.
However, basic material science is the top priority. Others don't understand this, but Luo Chong knows it in his heart, so it is also one of Luo Chong's responsibilities to do ideological work for these researchers.
After looking around at the expressions of the people around him, Luo Chong smiled and said, "I know that everyone is eager to make contributions, and I also hope to produce some brilliant technical achievements like the optical team, but in my heart, basic materials are the cornerstone of all science and technology. Without your rubber, we can't make advanced machinery and tools, nor faster tires. Without your chemical team, we can't make such advanced weapons, and there are better steel.
We still have a long way to go in the future. The steam engine is definitely the top priority of our future development, but that cannot be achieved by a power research institute alone. It requires the joint efforts of all our tribal elites. Without you who are engaged in basic materials, how can we make rails that can carry locomotives? Without your rubber materials, how can we make qualified steam engines.
So everyone just needs to work with peace of mind. Whoever has contributed to the development of the tribe, I can see it here. Your contributions are indispensable, and your honors are indispensable. As long as the research institute can produce results, bonuses, and titles, I will never default on them.
There is another thing I want to inform everyone. I The population of our Han tribe is increasing, and scientific research is gradually getting on the right track, so the education system will also usher in major reforms.
I believe you all know that the medical school is compiling medical textbooks. In the future, your achievements will also be compiled into textbooks of various scientific categories. Not only your achievements will be included, but even your names and photos will be added to the books. I want the descendants of the Han tribe to remember you who have made outstanding contributions to the development of the tribe.
When the time comes, the children in the school will open the textbooks and see at a glance, oh, this is the year and month of the Han tribe, which academician of which institute discovered what phenomenon and summarized this law, so that when they study, they will remember how great their ancestors were. "
As soon as Luo Chong finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the cafeteria. Everyone was excited. What they were entangled in their hearts was that no one knew about their scientific research success. The cameras of the optical group have entered thousands of households. When others take photos, they will have to admire and boast that "this is a magic skill". Who wouldn't envy and be jealous?
After all, they did not contribute less than the optics group, but they were always inferior to them in terms of honor.
They really didn't care about the treatment, because the chief gave the institute the best treatment. They just wanted to leave a name and let others know that they had also contributed to the tribe. What Luo Chong said about printing their names and photos in the textbooks was definitely the highest level of honor, which would be passed down through the ages in the future. So after getting this promise, everyone relaxed and laughed.
"Chief, the things we study are so diverse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to remember them if they are included in the textbooks?" Wen Nong, as the leader of the chemistry group, also sat next to Luo Chong. After hearing what Luo Chong said, he touched his nose in embarrassment.
When the inventor of the camera was named before, Ao Fei was put first as the main initiator and principle provider, and Qu Bing was put second because he also made a lot of efforts in the research and development process. Of course, these are understandable, but Wen Nong only provided some theoretical support in materials and chemistry, and did not participate in the research and development throughout the process. In the end, he was given a name at the end, which made him feel a little bit like being given alms.
But it was difficult for him to refuse such an honorable thing, but it did not mean that he did not want to come up with some important results, so that he could write his name in the position of inventor.
But now think about it, what do I do every day, messy chemical experiments, and the semi-finished products or reagents that ordinary people can't use, even if I research it, who will know it, even if I write about myself in the book, what will I write about then? It seems that I don't have any representative scientific success to show off.
"This is easy, basic materials science has basic materials projects, and we will definitely publish some books like chemistry and biology. Then we will put the success you have summarized in it, and then put you in the front of each volume, saying that these are your achievements. It does
n't matter if the people don't know, as long as the students know, when their generation of young people know, the future generations will all know, after all, our Han tribe wants to enroll all people in school."
Wen Nong and other people in the chemistry group laughed foolishly after hearing this.
This group of elites of the Han tribe spend their days conducting experiments on this isolated island. Their lives are extremely boring and they work hard every day because they want to get something in return. It is human nature and Luo Chong understands this very well. Therefore, he is willing to satisfy these researchers to the best of his ability, as they are all the heroes of the Han tribe.
After dinner, Luo Chong went around the institute again to check the progress of various aspects of the work. Ao Fei's optical group now has nothing else to do except improving the camera and continuing to study optical theory.
In terms of color photography, three-color filters and color developer technology are needed. The filters are relatively simple, but the chemical reagents for color development can only be explored by chance. Moreover, Ao Fei does not know much about chemistry, so he can only wait for Wen Nong's chemistry group to produce results.
Now they have taken on another microscope project, so they have work to do in the short term.
Wen Nong's chemistry group is even busier. Luo Chong previously supplemented some outstanding students from the school, and many of them have now been trained by the chemistry group to become explosives production workers.
The Han tribe's chemical industry level is extremely limited, and the ordinary steam industry has just started, not to mention the high-tech chemical plants. Therefore, if they want to produce double-base propellants and bullet primers, they can only use laboratory methods to produce them. The scale is not large, and they can only take the route of small quantities and multiple times. However, these experiments are extremely dangerous, so these newly graduated students with a certain cultural foundation have become the best source of workers. After careful training, as long as they learn to do those experiments, they can go to work.
As for the rubber group, they are still doing various basic experiments. How to make latex raw materials into various industrial products, what characteristics will the finished rubber show under different catalysts and different conditions?
In order to understand these, without various electronic testing equipment and computers for analysis and calculation, they can only use the most stupid method, the elimination method, that is, try one by one until the most suitable formula and process are found.
Since Luo Chong brought back the first batch of latex raw materials from Tang tribe, it has been half a year now. The rubber team has conducted thousands of experiments with these raw materials. It is definitely the department with the heaviest workload and the least visible results. However, with Luo Chong's assurance and promise at lunch, the researchers in the rubber team are now in high spirits and work enthusiastically.
Luo Chong has also been here for a long time. He and the researchers in the rubber team selected several experimental products, and then asked them to trial-produce high-pressure ventilation hoses according to these formulas. They will try them first, and then let them connect with the Power Research Institute for the specific design parameters when they come back.
Finally, before leaving, Luo Chong handed over another major research project to the chemistry team.
Then he said to Wen Nong, "After the start of the steam industry, our demand for various higher-performance alloy steels will become increasingly heavy, so I will assign you another long-term task now. You have to set up another team within the group to specialize in testing the composition of metal minerals from various parts of the Han tribe, and then try to purify and smelt them, and then test and identify the various properties of alloy steels with different proportions, such as which one has higher bending resistance, which one has greater ductility, which one is more resistant to high and low temperatures, as well as hardness comparisons, pressure bearing capacity, etc., all of which must be recorded in detail.
This work will be very complicated and boring, probably similar to the work of the rubber group. You must be mentally prepared, but I can tell you that this work is very important to our future, and everyone must not slack off."
"Yes, don't worry, leader, we will definitely complete the task. If it really doesn't work, we can also rotate in groups within the group. Difficulty is not a problem. If there is no difficulty, then what do we need people like us for? Don't worry, leader, we will definitely not hold back the development of the tribe."
"Well, I'm optimistic about you, do a good job." Luo Chong patted Wen Nong on the shoulder and left with a group of guards.
On the way back, Luo Chong was still thinking about things. The consequence of the development of modern science and industry is a large number of classified sciences. After all, a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to master everything.
Now the optical team has begun to develop microscopes, so should I start planning a third research institute, a research institute specializing in the study of biology, animals, plants, and microorganisms? Among the current scientific categories of the Han tribe, there is no special branch for biology.
There will be another chapter later
