"You becoming an engineer is better than seeing it a hundred times in the past. My grandfather praises you to everyone he meets now, and he doesn't even pay attention to me, his own grandson."
Xu Dening complained in a warm tone, which instantly wiped out the awkwardness of the two distant relatives who had not seen each other for many years and brought them closer together.
Xu Mingyu's expression softened. He put the letter away carefully and greeted He Ruixue with a smile, "Little comrade, nice to see you again. Last time I told you I'd wait for you to come over and have dinner at our company. It's just right that you two can come with me for dinner later.
Even though the chemical plant stinks and is toxic, the food is really good.”
Xu Dening sniffed and teased him, "How can you make up stories about your own unit like that? Aren't you afraid your boss will hear it?"
"fine."
Xu Mingyu looked much the same as when she first met him, still looking unkempt. "As long as I make progress, no one will care if you say the factory is a cesspool. Besides, isn't what I say the truth?"
His tone was a little low, "As a technician, my treatment is good. At least I can wear protective clothing. Those front-line workers are suffering. Masks are useless and the supply is small. They can only be replaced once a month.
Working on the chemical production line is extremely harmful to the body, and they can't easily take time off. They have to retire after just a few more years, otherwise they'll be riddled with illnesses."
He was both sad and anxious about this situation. The people operating in the chemical workshop were all talents who had learned relevant knowledge and received training. They could not be recruited casually.
They have been risking their health for the factory and will not take a break easily even if they have chronic diseases. How can the people above them sit back and watch?
He Ruixue naturally admired these people. "Is that why your factory wanted to hold a meeting and seek cooperation with the mask factory and cotton mill?"
Most masks these days are sterilized masks made of gauze, and their protective capabilities are very limited.
Xu Mingyu shook his head. "Our factory actually has plans to develop its own special masks. We can cooperate with other factories for the gauze we need, and we can produce and sell everything else ourselves.
As for the main purpose of this meeting, it is actually the county taking the lead and wanting to develop the local industry."
He Ruixue pondered and said, "Are you saying that the factory plans to develop gas masks? I heard that the British technology is the most mature in this area."
The residents of the Fog City have lived in industrial pollution for a long time, and their demand for dust and poison prevention equipment is much greater than that of other countries, so the industries developed there are naturally more complete.
Xu Mingyu sighed and said, "Yes, ever since the West developed gas masks after World War I, they have always been ahead of us. In terms of chemistry, we are indeed far behind them."
He Ruixue knows a lot about masks.
It should be said that anyone who has come from later generations and experienced that period of crazy buying can more or less give a general idea of it.
She thought for a moment and said, "Have you ever thought about adding a filter layer in addition to the adsorbent in the filter cartridge?
If the raw materials are too expensive, you can simply make a self-priming type. Connect a tube to the front of the breathing mask, ranging from eight to ten meters long. It is specifically used in workshops with relatively high concentrations of toxic gases. The other end of the tube leads to an area with clean air. You use your lungs as the power for breathing. Although it is a bit more laborious, it is simple and consumes less energy.
Xu Mingyu suddenly had an idea and pulled her to sit down. "Come, let's talk about it in detail. What shape should the mask be for the self-contained respirator you mentioned? How can we ensure that it fits the face tightly and prevents air leaks? And what about the gas filter layer? What are your thoughts?"
In this way, the two chatted for the whole afternoon and almost missed dinner.
Xu Mingyu's apprentice knew his situation and brought food to the three of them from the cafeteria as usual.
Two meat dishes, one vegetable dish and a soup, the taste is really good. I heard that the chef they hired is a level five chef.
He Ruixue noticed that the soup contained lung-clearing herbs such as Fritillaria cirrhosa and lotus seeds, and her evaluation of this chemical factory increased even more.
While they were chatting, Xu Dening was not idle either. He had not known when he got in touch with his good friend from the factory's publicity department, and learned about the arrangements and procedures for tomorrow's meeting, and told her all about it.
Xu Mingyu waved his hand and said, "You were originally arranged in the third row with several other department stores. Comrade Xiao He, you have been of great help to me. You must come with me tomorrow.
The factories in the first row are established ones, large in scale and high in output. They're a bit far from your city, but since you have your own transport team, it's not a big problem."
After dinner, at Xu Mingyu's insistence, He Ruixue stayed in the office to continue discussing with him. He even called his colleagues and apprentices over.
These people originally looked down on her as a young girl, but when they heard her various wonderful ideas, they couldn't help but feel as if their eyes brightened and their eyes were opened.
The look he gave her kept changing, and he felt as if he was facing a hermit.
Although He Ruixue didn't know much about the chemical industry, she studied science in college after all. Inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry were compulsory subjects, and she had carefully "pre-studied" them at the end of the semester.
She deliberately used a "good luck card", and a lot of knowledge that had long been returned to the professor seemed to come back to her brain. She explained a lot of the steps in the textbook about preparing reagents, and the general raw materials and products of some reactions.
Of course, because her grades were not very good, even with the help of external tools, there was not much she could say. What she said was disorganized and there were many mistakes.
All of this seemed normal to the researchers. After all, she only had a high school diploma, so it was great to get one or two key inspirations from her.
They are all experts in this field. Sometimes, they only need one opportunity to open up all the links and make major breakthroughs in their respective fields.
