Chapter 200 Engineering Plastics
"It's been a hard journey."
Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhao Tianyang greeted them with a smile: "It's almost noon, let's go and try the canteen of our tank factory."
"That's daring."
Niu Erli touched his stomach and said, "I've been on the plane for two or three hours. I'm hungry."
"What?"
Tian Jinchen looked at Niu Erli in surprise: "I didn't ask you to do anything on the plane, so why are you hungry?"
"It's almost noon, so people are naturally hungry!"
Niu Erli said disapprovingly.
"OK."
Zhao Tianyang smiled happily: "Help me install the machine first, and then I'll let you eat as much as you want."
"no problem!"
Niu Erli flexed his muscles: "The machine is there, I'll move it right away."
Two hours later, with the concerted efforts of the workers, all the machines were moved into the factory.
"All right."
Zhao Tianyang patted the dust off his hands and said: "We will come back for debugging this afternoon. Now let's all go to the cafeteria to eat."
"Oh, time to eat!"
When they heard that it was time to eat, the workers ran out immediately.
in the dining hall.
"Stir-fried shredded potatoes, pumpkin soup, cabbage stewed with tofu, sweet potato rice."
Looking at the food that had just been served on the table, Niu Erli swallowed his saliva and picked up his chopsticks: "Minister, I won't be polite!"
"Eat, eat!"
Zhao Tianyang picked out two pieces of tofu for Tian Jinchen and Niu Erli: "This tofu is made from new beans, you can eat more."
"Uh-huh."
Niu Erli kept nodding with rice in his mouth.
Seeing Niu Erli wolfing down the food, Zhao Tianyang's appetite grew.
He quickly ate two pieces of tofu and two mouthfuls of rice to fill his stomach before continuing.
"After dinner, Niu Erli will follow Li Yuncai to Baotou."
"The mining area there needs to form a security team. You can work hard and become the security captain."
"Captain of Security!"
Niu Erli was so happy that he even stopped eating: "Don't worry, Minister, I will definitely lead this security team well."
"Ah."
Zhao Tianyang nodded, ate a piece of sweet potato, and looked at Tian Jinchen: "You, stay here and be the director of the tank factory."
"Thank you, Minister. I will do my best."
Tian Jinchen promised solemnly.
"Don't thank me, I have a request for you."
Zhao Tianyang took out a blueprint from his pocket and said, "Take a good look at this. After the machine is debugged this afternoon, I will bring the key members to a meeting."
"Study the blueprint given to me thoroughly and start research and development tomorrow. Try to build this tank within half a month."
"no problem."
Tian Jinchen looked at the drawings and agreed readily.
To put it simply, a tank consists of a chassis, an engine, armor, and a cannon.
Now the drawings Zhao Tianyang gave him only required him to work on the chassis and armor.
He is not needed to build the engines and cannons. If he can't handle this, then he has no need to be the factory director.
After dinner, Zhao Tianyang handed over the affairs of the tank factory to Tian Jinchen, took Niu Erli back to Yan'an, and sent him on a glider to Baotou.
............
Extended Plastic Factory.
"Take me to your plastics lab. I want to make some new plastics."
Zhao Tianyang said to Chen Zhenxia in front of him.
After leaving the tank factory, Zhao Tianyang came here to solve the most difficult polymer problem of the pistol.'
"plz follow me."
Chen Zhenxia did not hesitate and immediately brought Zhao Tianyang to their laboratory.
"Minister, please take a look. Currently, our laboratory has various instruments such as small injection molding machines, small sheet compression molding machines, small film blowing machines, and plastic density testers."
"Except for the plastic density tester, which we bought from the Soviets, all other experimental equipment was made by ourselves."
Chen Zhenxia pointed at the technicians who were concentrating on the experiment and said, "These people are all graduates from Lanzhou University, and they are all top students."
"sharp."
Zhao Tianyang also didn't expect that the plastic factory that had nothing and relied entirely on hand-made tools would actually have built a modern laboratory.
"You've put a lot of thought into it, haven't you?"
"Hey, to be honest, we used all the surplus money from the four factories to develop the laboratory."
Chen Zhenxia said with a hint of pride: "If you have time today, you can go to the rubber factory to have a look."
"We also built a modern laboratory there, and in order to ensure that we could produce results as quickly as possible, we even hired a Soviet expert."
"Soviet experts?"
Zhao Tianyang asked in amazement: "He is willing to come under our conditions?"
"What's wrong with you?"
Chen Zhenxia said proudly: "The Soviet experts we found are the kind that can't survive in China."
"I see."
Zhao Tianyang's heart moved, and he remembered that although the Soviet Union's Great Purge was over.
But there are always some people who still have some concerns, and these people can be won over.
"Minister, both the man and the machine are ready."
Just when Zhao Tianyang was thinking about the Soviet experts, Chen Zhenxia, who had gone to make arrangements, came back.
"Ah."
Zhao Tianyang nodded and walked towards the experimental table.
"Prepare, phenol, formaldehyde, sodium hydroxide solution, petroleum asphalt, heating equipment."
"Small film blowing machine, spinneret, stretcher, winding rod, mineral oil, lead oxide, ......."
As Zhao Tianyang uttered one term after another, the technicians in the experiment had clear division of labor.
He recorded what he needed and looked for materials, and soon he had brought everything Zhao Tianyang needed.
"Amazing!"
Zhao Tianyang sighed again.
He even felt like crying. It wasn't easy!
In the past, when doing experiments, I had to do everything myself, but now, I just need to speak and someone will do it for me.
"Minister, the materials are ready. Where do we start?"
A leading technician looked at Zhao Tianyang eagerly.
They had heard of Zhao Tianyang's great name a long time ago.
I just didn’t expect that I would have the honor to do experiments with him today.
If they hadn't maintained a certain level of professionalism, they would have been too excited to control themselves.
“Start with phenolic resin.”
Zhao Tianyang gave the order: "Add 63% of benzyl phenol and 37% of formaldehyde into the reaction vessel."
"Then add 40% sodium hydroxide solution, keep the temperature at 80 degrees, and react for 2 hours, stirring rapidly during the reaction."
"After the reaction is completed, the phenolic resin obtained in the early stage is cooled and filtered."
After Zhao Tianyang finished speaking, the leading technician stopped recording and gave direct instructions.
"Wang Li, take your team and conduct the phenolic resin experiment."
"Yes."
Wang Li nodded, and took four technicians to start operating according to what Zhao Tianyang said.
Then, the leading technician looked at Zhao Tianyang and asked, "What's the next step, Minister?"
"Sigh~~~"
Zhao Tianyang took a breath. Is this the benefit of having a professional assistant?
All you have to do is move your mouth!
"what's your name?"
Zhao Tianyang asked the leader.
"Minister, my name is Li Sanyang, and I am a graduate of the College of Science."
Then he pointed at other technicians in the laboratory and introduced them.
"They are all my junior students, named Qian Ming, Zhao Tai............"
"Ah."
Zhao Tianyang nodded, indicating that he had remembered everything, and said, "Technician Li, let's start with carbon fiber manufacturing next."
"Petroleum asphalt is subjected to heat treatment (such as high temperature and high pressure) to cause thermal decomposition and polymerization reaction to form an intermediate phase asphalt with a nematic liquid crystal structure."
"Then we use a small film blowing machine to extrude the mesophase asphalt, spray it onto the spinneret, and use a stretcher to pull it into filaments."
“The pulled out asphalt fibers are oxidized.”
"Finally, the non-melting fibers are heated to 1000 degrees in an inert atmosphere to carbonize them."
"Have you remembered it?"
"Remember it."
Li Sanyang nodded: "Minister, I will lead people to start making carbon fiber right away."
