Young people in the 21st century, as long as they pay a little attention to the products on the market, there is nothing that doesn’t know about carbon fiber.

The most expensive sports goods are related to carbon fiber, such as bicycles, tennis rackets, golf clubs, fishing rods, surfboards, baseball bats, bows and arrows, soles of the soles of the trekking poles... Any equipment that emphasizes high strength, high modulus and light weight must be made of carbon fiber, and the extra corrosion resistance is an additional gift. The former king aluminum alloy had to be thrown out of eight streets when facing carbon fiber. If anyone still pretended to be noble with aluminum alloy products, it would be the most appropriate to immediately respond to "weak explosion". The only thing that restricts the development of carbon fiber is the high price and low production capacity.

This was even more obvious in 1993. The t300 carbon fiber produced by Toray was sold at 30,000 yen per kilogram at this time. Not to mention that the Chinese were using it, the Japanese couldn't afford it. At this time, Japan, the largest producer of carbon fiber in the world, with an annual output of less than 8,000 tons, while the largest consumer was the United States.

Even Americans like big dogs cannot use carbon fiber at will. In addition to the military field with less than 2% consumption, the US space program and Boeing aircraft are the main sales targets of carbon fiber.

Although the GDP is not high, the bright future of carbon fiber is something that everyone sees.

If monocrystalline silicon was the most important material in the late 20th century, then carbon fiber was the most important material in the traditional industry. The automobile industry, the power industry, the construction industry, the electronic industry, the chemical industry... Just open the modern industry manual, there are a few industries that carbon fiber cannot be changed.

If you make a science fiction film, you will never make any mistakes when using carbon fiber as the main material of the city. If there are enough in the future, it will be theoretically no problem to use carbon fiber to build a building that is several thousand meters high. Also, digging several thousand meters down will probably also use carbon fiber as support.

The scientific community in the 1970s had a clear understanding of the future of carbon fiber, but it was not until the early 1990s that the industry had a unified understanding of the future of carbon fiber. This was because in the early 1990s, carbon fiber finally became largely industrialized.

However, except for scientific and related industrialists, ordinary people in the 1990s had little knowledge of carbon fiber. The legendary carbon fiber golf clubs were sold for millions of yen at this time, which was equivalent to the pension of a Japanese worker, and several ordinary people could afford it.

Before submitting the documents to Su Cheng, Yang Ming read them all. However, without a professional background, how could he know that carbon fiber is such a monster?

How could Sucheng not know the huge value of carbon fiber? Toray, the first company to make this thing, has an employee number of more than 30,000 in the future, which is more than Dahua Industrial today.

With the small Japanese corporate system, how could he dare to recruit so many employees without stable and huge profits?

If you can really master the manufacturing technology of carbon fiber, it will not only open a big gold mine, but also be equivalent to a talisman.

No matter what the idea was, Sucheng put aside his work in Kazakhstan and returned to the Dahua headquarters in Shanghai as quickly as possible.

Dahua Laboratory is still located within Dahua headquarters.

It is the only subsidiary branch that is still sharing its resident with the group headquarters. This is because the laboratory is difficult to relocate, and it is also because of the importance of Dahua Laboratory.

After more than 6 years of accumulation and the near-crazy poaching and recruitment of Sucheng, Dahua Laboratory now has more than 3,000 researchers. Even if it is not comparable to the international oil giants, it is the only one among the domestic top units. The number of patents per year is more than 10 times more than the total number of research institutes with three barrels of oil.

Of course, the number of patents in normal research institutes in any country is only a large number of patents, but in China, sufficient research funds and generous employee treatment still attract unbelievable attention and great attraction.

It can be said that Su Cheng not only borrowed the experience and ideas learned from later generations to work in Dahua Laboratory, but also bet on his dreams.

Back then, when he graduated from college, he also wanted to get a job that looked like Microsoft or Google. But in that era, when he graduated from an ordinary university, he had just dreamed about it at most.

With the research conditions in China, there are several young people who can do research with peace of mind.

After having the capital, one thing Su Cheng always did was to transform Dahua Laboratory.

The procurement committee, assessment committee, academic committee and other institutions are institutionally changing China's research mechanism, at least within Dahua, and stifle the academic factors...

The experimental funds and employee benefits of Dahua Laboratory solve the worries of researchers from a personal perspective. Although Dahua Industrial dares not say that it is the same as researchers in European and American countries in terms of nominal salary, how low is the cost of living in China?

In order to create a higher quality of life with less money, Dahua Experiment even established a ** branch within it, which solved all the worries of Dahua researchers from children to elderly people while accounting. The company is the most stringent branch in Dahua Industrial Management. Although it has not been stated clearly, the recruitment and training are servants and housekeepers.

A beautiful office environment, fair assessment system, good treatment and excellent living treatment, plus a Shanghai public relations company are the ultimate tricks for Dahua Industrial to attract researchers at home and abroad. In the era when Microsoft just rose, luxury offices in Silicon Valley have not yet formed a trend, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Dahua Industrial is leading the world.

Moreover, in the era when civil servants earn more than 2,000 yuan an average monthly salary of more than 5,000 yuan, and jobs with high salary of more than 10,000 yuan and dividends can be imagined.

If Chinese researchers solved the primary problem of carbon fiber in 2000, then the Dahua researchers solved the primary problem of carbon fiber in 1993, Su Cheng was not surprised.

Although the mood is still worried about gains and losses.

The Mercedes-Benz drove straight into the downstairs of Dahua Laboratory.

Li Huanxiang waited below with a smile on his face.

This technician who was able to draw 20 drawings a day has also begun to look like a pig and his mouth has become loud after being baptized by Dahua culture.

The laboratory is a Pixiu that swallows gold. No laboratory can truly take its own profits and losses, especially on Chinese land, where no one cares about patents. China in 1993 has not even become a member of the Patent Cooperation Treaty. The Dahua Laboratory can continue to operate, and it depends entirely on Dahua Industry for blood transfusion.

As the boss of Dahua Laboratory, if Li Huanxiang continues to be bored, he will not last long. Therefore, Li Huanxiang is still proud on the surface and is actually very full in his heart.

Adding the carbon fiber project with only the eyebrow to Sucheng can show Li Huanxiang's vitality.

If he wrote the official document like this, he would not have to speak in Su Cheng, and the board of the academic committee would have to be called first. But the document was what Yang Ming wanted, and it was just a design for building a house for Su Cheng, which could not be considered a activity of Dahua Industrial. The academic committee at the headquarters would not be able to manage it.

On the other hand, the chances of such files being noticed by Sucheng are greater than those of other files.

The same idea may also exist in smart glass, special-shaped PVC and other projects. However, Su Cheng did not take a closer look and said hello to Li Huanxiang and asked: "How far has the carbon fiber research been?"

Li Huanxiang didn't expect him to be so direct and said in surprise: "We have tried to produce an isotropic asphalt staple fiber with a tensile strength of about 800mpa and a modulus of 70gpa."

The light weight and corrosion resistance of carbon fiber are inherited from raw materials. The requirements are not too strict. After all, there are more materials with light weight and corrosion resistance. The true revolution of carbon fiber is still reflected in its tensile strength and modulus.

The former is the strength that people usually understand, while the latter can be understood as elasticity. From the perspective of fishing rods, the greater the tensile strength carbon fiber can hold the heavier fish, and the greater the modulus, the greater the bending of the fishing rod.

Su Cheng silently recited 800mpa and 70gpa, but had no emotional understanding, so he asked: "What is the data of Toray's carbon fiber?"

"Which type are you asking?" Li Huanxiang smiled, and he wanted to change the topic.

"The best." Su Cheng cut off his evil thoughts.

Li Huanxiang coughed twice, hesitated for a moment before saying: "The tensile strength and modulus of carbon fiber cannot be both high. One is definitely high, and the other is lower."

“Speak data.”

"It depends on your anxiety." Li Huanxiang just said nothing.

"Hurry up." Su Cheng was familiar with him, and he didn't have to give him any face.

Li Huanxiang smiled, his face had been developed, so the researcher next to him was embarrassed and stood up and said, "The best carbon fiber in the world now has 7 g tensile strength, and the highest modulus can have 600 gpa."

Compared with Dahua Industrial's carbon fiber, the two data are 10 times different. Although Sucheng does not understand the detailed information in this area, he has a vague understanding that 3 times is probably a product with more commercial prospects. If 10 times, it will be difficult to get large-scale promotion.

No wonder there is a physical object, Li Huanxiang also said cautiously to certain results.

Su Cheng turned his head and smiled, thinking: His requirements are too high. If he can really reach one-third of the highest level, wouldn’t he have to catch up with Britain and the United States? At this time, Britain and the United States really cannot be said to be excellent in carbon fiber production.

Li Huanxiang observed Su Cheng's expression, and when he finished his teeth gritting, he whispered: "This is Dr. Wang Yun. The carbon fiber project was led by him. It took only two years to get the current results. The carbon fiber he just introduced just now, with 7g of carbon fiber with tensile strength, the modulus is much smaller, only 400. With a modulus of 600g, the tensile strength naturally cannot be too high."

600 is also 8 times the level of 70. Li Huanxiang knew that his persuasion was weak and he was so busy: "We are only the beginning of the research now. If we can provide more research funds and reach 7g, can we say that 3g still be able to do it? Is it Dr. Wang Yun?"

Wang Yun is a literary and weak scholar. He is about 30 years old. He wears glasses like a bottle bottom and his eyes are slightly swollen. He glanced at Li Huanxiang slowly before whispering: "Our goal is to make 1.5g first."

Li Huanxiang was in a mess at that time. He didn't know what to say!

Su Cheng laughed out loud, and Yang Ming quickly laughed. There was a burst of laughter around him.

"Old Wang is so real." Li Huanxiang finally said something.

Wang Yun remained unmoved by the laughter around him and said calmly: "What we are making asphalt-based carbon fibers, which are different from polyacrylonitrile-based. The modulus of this carbon fiber is higher and the tensile strength is lower. From the current isotropic asphalt staple fibers to anisotropic asphalt staple fibers, it is estimated that the tensile strength can be increased from 800 to 1500. It is hard to say if there are more."

"Can you confirm that it will increase to 1.5g?"

"At most one year, and the modulus can be increased to 230, this is considered to meet the international standards." Wang Yun seemed to be full of confidence.

"Okay. Then I'll wait for the good news. Let's go and see the laboratory." Su Cheng was naturally encouraged. No matter what, people made carbon fiber and the performance was predictable. As for Dahua Industrial's current investment, it is probably a hundred times less than that of foreign professional companies. For example, this kind of money-burning material game. How can you talk about development without money? How can you talk about leapfrog development?

Li Huanxiang was a little relaxed, took the lead, led the way in front, and smiled and said, "Don't think that our carbon fiber data is worse, we still applied for a patent, and all patents from various countries have been applied for."

"Oh? Is there any commercial value?"

"Of course there is." Li Huanxiang said excitedly: "We have handed over the information to the Commerce Department and the Strategy Department and asked them to help research. Our carbon fiber still has certain advantages."

“What are the advantages?”

"Good heat transfer and good electronic shielding performance. In addition, our fibers are slurry-based, with shorter fibers and low manufacturing costs. It is expected that the factory's production costs are only half of the current hot-selling carbon fibers."

"Half." For carbon fiber that has just entered the market, the cost is of course important, but the performance decline is too severe. Su Cheng thought about it and asked: "What will the cost after reaching the level of 1.5g?"

"Maybe three quarters." Li Huanxiang said quite conservatively.

Su Cheng nodded slightly and said: It’s not unacceptable, it depends on your research progress now.

Li Huanxiang laughed and said, "The progress is all made with money."

"How much do you plan to want?" Su Cheng was very calm.

Li Huanxiang was quite puzzled. Research funds have always been difficult to ask for. The legend of how much you want does not really exist. He and Wang Yun looked at each other and said tentatively: "According to what Dr. Wang said just now, 10 million is about the same."

This is definitely a big talk. Although Dahua Laboratory is rich, it has quite a lot of projects. More than 3,000 researchers are in charge of nearly a thousand projects. If a project is entitled to 10 million, wouldn’t it cost tens of billions every year?

Carbon fiber has always been built by the Petrochemical and Coal Research Institute in China. Including Shenhua Group and countless coal mines under the Ministry of Coal, there are dozens of research projects. It would be good if the funds of these research institutes can exceed one million. In contrast, although Dahua Laboratory has a lot of funds, its main business is petroleum exploration, mining and petrochemical. Carbon fiber is only a marginal project in the last category. Such a large investment of 10 million is definitely super.

However, Sucheng knew the future of carbon fiber, which is no less than a super project of a large petrochemical base, and has amazing potential. In comparison, 10 million is too small.

"Give it to you." Su Cheng said without even a single stutter: "I'll add another 10 million to you and allow you to set up a carbon fiber research institute, which is the same as other research institutes, and you can start recruiting people now."

It was Wang Yun's turn to be shocked: "A separate institute? Just like the Institute of Ocean Petroleum?"

"Yes, just like the Institute of Ocean Petroleum, if there is any result, then the funding will be agreed upon." In terms of potential, carbon fiber is no less than marine oil development. The development of the latter is also indispensable for the participation of the former.

Faced with a large market worth hundreds of billions of yuan, Sucheng is extremely happy to give money.

If he hadn't had a Dahua laboratory, others would have no way to find the technology for carbon fiber.

Li Huanxiang finally realized Sucheng's emphasis on carbon fiber and took the opportunity to say: "This cannot be counted as the total fund of Dahua Laboratory."

"Not counting." Su Cheng turned to Wang Yun and said, "You have to make the Carbon Fiber Research Institute as abundant as the Ocean Petroleum Research Institute and achieve remarkable results."

Gu Haijianle, who was accompanying him, had his upper lips touched his nose. Such praise was more exciting than face-to-face praise. If Wang Yun hadn't been the protagonist, he would now want to promote the research status of the fourth generation of offshore oil drilling platform of the Institute of Ocean Oil.

No matter how nonsense Wang Yun is, his surprise also makes him breathe rapidly. Any research institute in Dahua represents a annual funding of over 100 million yuan and a large number of qualified projects, which are stronger than the current national research institutes and have less bureaucracy.

In the eyes of researchers, achieving the director of Dahua Research Institute is almost the ultimate goal of life struggle. This position can almost be conducted research at will. A large amount of funds and a subordinate assistant can solve the two major problems that researchers are most troublesome. Moreover, the management of this position is not heavy, and it only takes half a day a week to spend more than enough. However, laboratory directors like Li Huanxiang are mostly listed as professional goals by researchers when their research path is cut off.

"It is probably not enough to dispatch personnel from within the Dahua Laboratory, and graduates are not enough. Can you find people from home and abroad?" Wang Yun quickly got into the role and thought seriously.

Su Cheng focused on the key points and said: "Not only can you poach people, but if you have patents and equipment, it is better to accept them. In this regard, let Zhang Chao cooperate with you."

1993 was an interesting year. In this year, the United States began to shrink its investment in aerospace, and many parts manufacturers with only space shuttles were in a dilemma, including many Japanese carbon fiber companies.

If there is no dog owner, the United States, a ton of 30 million yen of carbon fiber can be sold out.

Although he didn't expect to find a bargain, Sucheng hoped to be more prepared. When the carbon fiber market really became popular, it would be difficult to obtain patents, not to mention purchasing patents. As a latecomer, Dahua Industry not only needs its own patents, but may need more patents from others.
