Chapter 331 Technical preparations completed

I found myself an extra job, but Chen Nian didn't feel much pressure.

On the contrary, he has become more and more accustomed to this fulfilling work rhythm that has almost no dead ends. Whenever he finds that his to-do list is less than five, he will feel an inexplicable feeling of anxiety.

——

However, this is actually easy to understand.

In the final analysis, the reason for such a mentality is because the conflict with the United States has further intensified.

Whether it is the Entity List that arrived more than ten years in advance or the talent backflow that caught everyone off guard, it all implies one thing:

The acceleration of technological development has brought about the acceleration of the replacement of power. Many things that Chen Nian originally expected "still have time" have now become "no time".

Therefore, he must strictly follow the plan every day.

This gave Chen Nian an illusion:

It's like he's playing an SLG game with multiple targets, like a grade-schooler or something.

In this kind of game, your time every day is divided into several parts, and each part can only do one thing at the same time.

You must allocate your time strictly and balance the priorities between the various strategy objects, but at the same time ensure your investment in each object to ensure that you do not miss the key node for breakthrough.

Only in this way can we achieve as many strategy goals as possible with limited resources.

——

Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a unique kind of fun?

However, compared with "games", one thing about real-life strategy missions is completely different, and that is your physical investment.

This is not something that can be solved by drinking two bottles of energy potions - let alone energy potions, after a long period of high-intensity work, even sleeping in the dark for more than ten hours can't restore the state to its peak state.

But fortunately, Chen Nian is in good physical condition and has plenty of energy.

Compared with other researchers in the project team who relied on wolfberry to survive, Chen Nian felt that he could still survive.

He also understood more and more why some people said that "energy is the most important endowment of scientific researchers." When a person's genius reaches a certain level and can achieve the same efficiency no matter which direction he chooses, the upper limit of achievement is determined by energy.

Upper limit

In the office, Chen Nian drank himself the last mouthful of Tieguanyin, which was so strong and astringent, and then once again devoted himself to the deduction of the production process of total nitrogen anion salt.

In the past two weeks, he has completed nearly 80% of the deduction work, determined the approximate range of the raw material ratios, and determined the external conditions including temperature and pressure. Now the last step is left, which is

Time series controls a link.

The complexity of this part of the work is not very high. In fact, Chen Nian does not intend to be completely accurate.

After all, it is one thing to perform deductions in a virtual environment, but another thing to operate in a laboratory.

Anyway, it has to be implemented in the end, so it is better to wait until you enter the laboratory and then make appropriate fine-tuning.

This is the most efficient way to work.

Another two hours later, when the caffeine and tea polyphenols in his stomach had basically disappeared, he finally saw the results he wanted coming from the system analysis interface.

The number of analytical source points has been reduced to less than 2 points.

In other words, my entire set of processes is basically not very random and can be put into the laboratory for actual testing.

Chen Nian was too lazy to organize the documents. The thick pile of draft paper on his desktop was the document.

After a phone call to Chen Guo, he went back to his dormitory to sleep, while Chen Guo packed up the draft papers as quickly as possible and sent them to Nanjing University of Technology.

At this time, exactly 14 days had passed since Chen Nian said on the phone that "it is necessary to use chemical methods to prepare total nitrogen anion salts."

After receiving Chen Guo's delivery, Hu Bingchun couldn't wait to take Liu Zuliang with him and opened the top-secret package in his office.

Looking at the thick package, Hu Bingchun was subconsciously worried.

"So many documents? It shouldn't be"

His brows wrinkled slightly, and Liu Zuliang on the side also answered with some doubts:

"It shouldn't be. If it really needs to be prepared using chemical methods, how could it involve such thick operating instructions?"

"The synthesis of total nitrogen anion salts is indeed complicated, but several potential intermediate products are still clear. There is no way this thing can be so thick."

"I don't understand. Maybe there are more problems in the catalytic link?"

Rather than asking Liu Zuliang, it is better to say that Hu Bingchun was asking himself.

He quickly opened the last layer of the package, and when he saw the manuscript paper inside, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Why are they all written on scratch paper? There isn't even a serial number, where do you start?"

Liu Zuliang also had a face full of surprise. He reached out and picked up a few pieces of manuscript paper and flipped through them. After carefully distinguishing them, he said:

"No, this is not 'written on scratch paper', this thing is just a draft."

"But fortunately, this draft has continuity."

"Wait, don't move it yet, don't mess up the order. The top one is the newest, and the bottom one is the original one."

"Take away the top chapter first, that one should be the final result."

"Then let's start from the last picture. You see, it's this one. The content of this picture is very general. It just describes a joint production method of m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid and ferrous glycinate, but the specific dosage and experimental conditions are all different.

Didn’t write it.”

As he spoke, Liu Zuliang put the first piece of draft paper aside, and then pulled out another piece from the middle.

After seeing the above content clearly, Hu Bingchun immediately understood the key.

"This article has entered the middle part - PHAC solution synthesis, the chemical formula is (N5)6(H3O)3(NH4)4Cl, the principle is to use cobalt ions to capture N5- ions in the solution"

"Look at the next one!"

Unable to wait for Liu Zuliang's slow movements, Hu Bingchun took the top dozen pieces of manuscript paper aside and spread them out in a row on the ground. At this moment, the entire technological evolution and upgrade process became clear at a glance.

From just guessing in one direction at the beginning, to complete and detailed experimental parameters at the end

Hu Bingchun and Liu Zuliang lay on the ground regardless of their appearance, and their hearts were shocked beyond words.

".So he started from scratch and launched the entire process directly on paper?"

"It should be. Wait a minute, I feel like I can't understand this matter. Did he come up with the plan purely based on thought experiments?"

"It looks like it is - it's not a big deal. I heard that this was how he came up with the blueprints for the 22nd engine before."

"Well, no matter what, he can use thought experiments, but we have to do it in the laboratory."

"Don't worry, let's take another look. This kind of manuscript can't be seen everywhere. If you take it out, someone will probably be willing to trade the entire laboratory."

So, these two high-ranking scholars lay on the ground and watched it all afternoon.

Even when someone knocked on the door and came in, they still knelt on the ground and just straightened up slightly calmly.

And facing the surprised looks of the visitors, they did not feel embarrassed at all.

On the other side of the sea, in the U.S. National Nitrogen Anion Salt Project Laboratory.

Krist looked helplessly at the busy experimenters in the laboratory, his heart twitching one after another.

Just now, a small explosion occurred in his laboratory, causing the entire laboratory to become a mess.

The cause of this explosion was the failure of the pressure gradient curve control during the synthesis of all-nitrogen anion salts using high-pressure methods, which resulted in the violent decomposition of the originally stable compound, which ultimately led to the explosion.

Logically speaking, such mistakes should never happen at all, because every experimental step has been rigorously and accurately designed, and every parameter has been repeatedly demonstrated.

But there is no way. In practice, no one can be truly foolproof. It is just one explosion and the damage caused is not big. Christer is already very satisfied with this result.

At least this shows that the project team has done a good job in safety management - everyone wore protective gear as per the standard, and the most serious injury was just because of panic that he sprained his ankle while escaping.

What really dissatisfied Crist was the attitude of these researchers after the explosion.

What they thought about at the first moment was not to preserve the data and correct the mistakes and start over again, but to apply for accidental injury subsidies from him.

Are these people so poor that they are crazy?

Yes, according to past rules, certain high-risk subsidies will indeed be issued during the execution of such high-risk experiments, but that will only be issued after approval by the logistics department at the right time.

What the hell is this about asking for a seal on the spot now?

Some people even threaten themselves with withdrawing from the experiment, as if the entire project team cannot survive without him.——

However, here comes the more disgusting point.

Although the project team does not fail without anyone, in fact, if even one person quits due to this reason, the atmosphere of the entire project team will inevitably be seriously affected.

When the time comes, let alone whether the experiment can proceed smoothly, we might even face large-scale complaints.

It's so difficult.

Therefore, Crist had no choice but to agree to their request, but what he couldn't understand was why the current scientific research team became like this?

I remember when I was working on explosives at MIT, let alone an accident of this magnitude. Even if the ceiling of the laboratory was lifted and my eardrums were shattered, I would happily record the explosion data for fear of missing it.
