"Sure enough, there is still a technical bottleneck..." Zhang Zhen nodded slightly after hearing this.

"Leader Zhang, I think the technical difficulty proposed by Xu Qiang is indeed very high. Cutting and crushing materials that are stronger than steel, while also ensuring production speed and cost, will probably take a long time to solve..."

In fact, the principle of the crusher is very simple. It uses mechanical force to press, shear, impact and grind the materials into the required fragments.

But in the eyes of these experts, things are not that simple. They have a more comprehensive approach to mechanical design, taking almost every aspect into consideration.

The most common crushers in China are feed and stone crushers. The technical principles and manufacturing difficulty of this type of equipment are very simple, but the country lacks crushers specifically used for cutting fibers, especially fiber crushers that can cut and crush fibers with a strength stronger than steel. There are currently no such machines in China.

"Leader Zhang, actually we don't quite understand the manufacturing process of this aramid fiber, so the solutions we can provide are very limited. Why don't you give us some more time, maybe we can find a good solution..." Seeing that no one else was speaking at the scene, an expert from the First Ministry of Machine Building said.

"That's the only way." Zhang Zhen nodded and asked Xu Qiang, "Xu Qiang, do you have any other problems that need to be solved?"

"There is also the issue of the heat press..." Xu Qiang continued to raise the topic and let everyone present discuss it.

For Xu Qiang, today's meeting is not only a problem-solving seminar, but also an opportunity for him to understand the current domestic high-tech industry.

After being reborn in this era, Xu Qiang only knew that the current domestic industrial and technological levels were very low, far behind those of developed countries. However, how far behind they were, as well as the current trends in domestic industrial development, were all things that Xu Qiang needed to understand in depth.

Because the machinery industry is actually the foundation of the chemical industry. Only the development of the overall industrial level can drive the development of the chemical industry. The two sides complement each other and are indispensable.

In other words, only by fully understanding the current level of the domestic machinery industry can Xu Qiang develop and produce new chemical products and technologies on this basis. Otherwise, many of the chemical products that Xu Qiang mastered in his previous life would simply not be able to be produced.

Soon, the new topic raised by Xu Qiang once again sparked discussions among many experts in the conference room.

Time passed minute by minute. The meeting started at nine in the morning and lasted until nearly twelve noon. Everyone stopped discussing and as Zhang Zhen announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone left the meeting room one after another.

But when they were leaving, these experts from Beijing came forward to shake hands with Xu Qiang and talked with him, and left their contact addresses and phone numbers.

There is no doubt that today's meeting not only allowed Xu Qiang to witness the academic level of these domestic experts, but also allowed these people to witness Xu Qiang's technical attainments in chemical engineering.

An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.

In fact, some of these experts majored in materials chemistry. They could fully see the sophistication of Xu Qiang's technology from his speech, which also made them feel deeply shocked. Naturally, they no longer had any doubts about his abilities due to his age and academic qualifications.

Experts all respect each other. It can be said that through this conference, Xu Qiang has also made his mark in the domestic chemical industry academic community. If the next project is successful, he will naturally become a "senior expert" in this circle.

However, this is not important to Xu Qiang, because in his previous life, he was already a top chemical expert in the country. He had experienced glory and vanity, but later he gradually became indifferent to it.

But no matter what, Xu Qiang gained a lot today. He was taking notes during the meeting and collected many technical solutions to the mass production of aramid paper. At the same time, he also gained a general understanding of the current domestic technological level.

"Xu Qiang, come here." After seeing that everyone in the meeting room had left, Zhang Zhen called Xu Qiang to his side.

"Leader Zhang, I have gained a lot today. Thanks to the opportunity you gave me, I have many good options for my project research and development." Xu Qiang said with gratitude.

"Since you like discussing with those experts so much, why don't you want to stay and work in BJ?" Zhang Zhen asked with a smile.

"This one……"

"Haha, it's okay. Everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you." Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "Regarding your research and development of the aramid paper project in Shanghai, I have already talked to Leader Zhou of the First Ministry of Machine Building yesterday. They are willing to provide you with relevant laboratories and assisting units in Shanghai."

"That's great!" Xu Qiang's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he immediately asked, "Which research institute is it?"

"The laboratory provided to you is the Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering. They have a specialized chemical laboratory. They can also provide accommodation for your R&D team. The school also has a cafeteria, and you can enjoy the same food standards as the faculty and staff of the school."

"Uh." Xu Qiang nodded.

Shanghai Institute of Mechanical Engineering is a university directly under the First Ministry of Machine Building. This school is actually the predecessor of the later Shanghai University of Technology.

Xu Qiang never expected that he would have the opportunity to step into a university campus. Although he had been admitted to the Open University, he was actually unable to study on the university campus. This time, he could finally live in the university for a long time.

"There are three other units assisting, all of which are state-owned enterprises in and around SH. The specific plan is still under discussion. When you return to Shanghai, someone will come to inform you." Zhang Zhen said. "So what you mean is... I can go back to Shanghai now?" Xu Qiang asked.

"You have made the trip to BJ with great difficulty. You haven't been to Tiananmen Square yet, right? You must also want to see the Forbidden City? You must try BJ's roast duck at least once, right? I can send someone to be your guide, and all the expenses will be paid by the department." Zhang Zhen said with a smile.

"Thank you, Leader Zhang." Upon hearing this, Xu Qiang's face immediately showed gratitude.

Xu Qiang never thought that Leader Zhang Zhen would be so amiable. Unlike the majestic senior leader he had imagined before, the Zhang Zhen in front of him was just a kind old man.

Of course, Xu Qiang also understood that it was impossible for Zhang Zhen to be so caring to everyone. It was only because he was young and talented, with high training value, and this aramid paper project was of great significance to domestic scientific and technological progress, that she took good care of him.

"Finally, I want to tell you that this project is very important to our country, and it is equally important to you..." Zhang Zhen paused, and then said, "Also, I can't order you to complete this project, because you are not a soldier, but we researchers must have the character of a soldier. Even if we can't succeed, we must go all out. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Xu Qiang nodded and said, "I will definitely do my best."

Facing Zhang Zhen, Xu Qiang did not dare to directly guarantee the completion of the task, because saying so would actually make the other party feel that he was immature.

In fact, unless it is absolutely necessary and there is no other choice, Xu Qiang will definitely leave a way out for himself, just like when he signed the military order in the machinery factory, there was really no other choice at that time.

"Very good." Zhang Zhen nodded with satisfaction. After looking at his watch, he said, "It's time for dinner. Let's go eat."

"Yeah." Xu Qiang responded, and then followed Zhang Zhen to the cafeteria.

What surprised Xu Qiang was that, as a leader, Zhang Zhen did not receive any special treatment in the cafeteria. Like other employees, he ate at the big table and got his own food.

Afterwards, Xu Qiang and Zhang Zhen found a table and sat down together, and they began to chat while eating.

However, at this time, Zhang Zhen did not talk about work anymore. Instead, he introduced Xu Qiang to the delicious and fun places in Beijing and suggested that Xu Qiang stay for a few more days.

But in fact, in his previous life, Xu Qiang had lived and worked in Beijing for more than ten years...

……

Two days later, Xu Qiang packed his luggage and boarded the train back to Shanghai, carrying several Peking ducks wrapped in three layers of wrapping paper.

This trip to BJ made Xu Qiang feel quite emotional. From his point of view, although the current domestic scientific and technological level is still very low, the domestic academic circle has very strong vitality. Not only is the academic atmosphere good, but the desire of these scientific researchers to forge ahead is stronger and purer than in later generations.

In such an environment, it is undoubtedly very beneficial to Xu Qiang's scientific research work. After all, only when the overall domestic industrial foundation is improved, will Xu Qiang have sufficient software and hardware conditions to develop more and better chemical products.

Especially the meeting with Leader Zhang and what happened afterwards, made Xu Qiang, a "veteran" who had been in the academic circle for more than ten years in his previous life, quite touched, and gave him greater motivation to work.

Sitting on the train, Xu Qiang was lost in thought the entire time. The journey of more than ten hours passed by in a flash.

After getting off the train, Xu Qiang took the bus back to the dormitory building in the YP area.

"Qiangzi, you came back so soon, why didn't you stay in BJ for a few more days?"

"What are you holding in your hand? Oil is seeping out..."

As soon as he entered the dormitory building, Xu Qiang bumped into Du Xingguo and Luo Hao who were walking out of the washroom. When the two saw Xu Qiang, they were also surprised.

"You have no eyesight at all. Hurry up and help me with the luggage." Xu Qiang said after giving them a blank look.

"After all, he has been to the department, and he speaks so confidently after coming back." Upon hearing this, squad leader Du Xingguo immediately stepped forward with a smile and took the luggage from Xu Qiang.

"Not only did I go to the department, I also had dinner with Leader Zhang," said Xu Qiang.

"You're just bragging! Leader Zhang is such a big boss, how can he eat with you? Do you really think you're a nobody?" Du Xingguo rolled his eyes at him and said. (End of this chapter)
