Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 628 "627" Dongda Research Institute: Hiss~~ This steel is awesome! This guy is awesome!
Dongda time, November 11, 2:9 a.m.

Shenyang.

Institute of Metal Research, Eastern Academy of Sciences.

It was established in 1953 and was one of the first newly created research institutes in the country.

The founder was Mr. Li, a physical metallurgist. In August and November 1950, he resolutely resigned from the University of Sheffield, but was then obstructed by the Victorian authorities and returned half a year later.

At this time, as night fell, the lights in the four-story building were turned on one after another, and every laboratory and office was lit up.

Materials science is the main pillar of the entire industrial system of the University of Tokyo, so people all over the country are exploring various materials, and countless metallurgists have put in the sweat to gradually consolidate the industrial foundation of the University of Tokyo.

at this time,

At the gate of the Academy of Sciences, a group of leaders stood outside the gate, looking far away at the end of the road.

"Over in Hong Kong Island, they said there was a big surprise. What was that surprise?"

"Has there been a new breakthrough in the study of Soviet steel?"

"It's only been a few days, it can't be that fast, right?"

"The rare earths from Peking University were just delivered the day before yesterday. How come the results came out so quickly?"

Why Peking University?
Because in the 70s, Mr. Xu, the father of rare earths, was at Peking University.

His journey back home was equally bumpy.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many people with lofty ideals have resolutely resigned from their comfortable lives abroad, returned to the University of Southeast Asia, consolidated their foundations, and made crazy efforts to catch up. This gave them the confidence to impose tariffs in later generations.

"It wasn't clear over the phone."

"What does it mean if you don't make it clear? It means the results are amazing. We have to keep it confidential and we can't talk about it over the phone."

"It makes me even more curious."

"No need to guess, there must be a major breakthrough, that's why Chief Engineer Liu rushed back."

main entrance,
While everyone was talking and curious, they stretched their necks and watched from afar.

……

At 9:15, on the Shenyang Taoxian Airport Expressway, a black Santana 2000 rumbled through the morning mist and sped towards the research institute.

Chief Engineer Liu in the back row untied his tie and his fingers unconsciously stroked the steel ingot slices in the inner pocket of his suit, as well as a file bag of information - proportional parameters.

In Hong Kong Island, after the first piece of steel was tested, it was repeated seven or eight times according to the data.

Although the various results are slightly worse than those of Li Jiacheng's version, the difference is not too big and still exceeds that of Soviet steel.

This was a relief to everyone.

They are afraid that after producing a version, they will not be able to reproduce it because they remembered the data incorrectly. That would make them cry and be sad for the rest of their lives.

When Xiao Wang, the assistant in the co-pilot seat, turned around, he caught a glimpse of the black stain on Chief Engineer Liu's cuffs. It was the rare earth oxide that was rubbed on him when he was cleaning the high-temperature furnace in the Hong Kong Island laboratory last night.

Xiao Wang looked at his watch and said, "Teacher, we still have ten minutes to get to the institute."

"it is good!"

To be honest, Chief Engineer Liu is also very tired at the moment. After smelting the steel yesterday, he was excited all night, repeating it over and over again, and getting excited again and again.

After getting on the plane, I was still too excited to sleep, and now I haven't closed my eyes for 17 hours.

At 56 years old, I can’t take it anymore.

At the entrance of the institute,
Director Chen was pacing back and forth, stepping on cigarette butts all over the floor.

Chief Engineer Zhang next to him suddenly pointed to the end of the road:

"coming!"

As everyone looked, they saw a black spot on the road in the distance that kept expanding and finally turned into a Santana.

quickly,

brake----

Santana arrived in front of the gate, and the tires made a screeching sound as they rubbed against the ground.

Chief Engineer Liu pushed open the car door.

"Old Liu!"

"Finally home."

"Thank you for your hard work."

When everyone saw Chief Engineer Liu’s tired face, they knew that this trip was quite exhausting.

"How about taking a break?"

"No rest, let me report our latest progress first."

"Haha~~~It seems like there is indeed good news."

"Let's go to the laboratory..."

Soon, Director Chen took Chief Engineer Liu and other chief engineers and walked into the institute.

Came to the laboratory.

In accordance with the principle of confidentiality, most of the engineers under the age of 35 left the laboratory, leaving behind a group of senior executives.

Chief Engineer Liu took out several steel ingots wrapped in Haibo paper and a file bag.

"This is……"

Director Chen put on white gloves and picked it up.

Chief Engineer Liu: "Yesterday we tested the latest version of steel. In terms of data, it is much stronger than our domestic steel and even surpasses the No. 4 Soviet steel used on the supply ship."

Director Chen and all the chief engineers were excited: "How much data?"

Chief Engineer Liu: "Brinell hardness (HB) 302, tensile strength (MPa) 1032.4, impact toughness (J/cm) 104.24..."

"Hiss~~~~"

The whole audience gasped.

Director Chen: "What about the grain size?"

Chief Engineer Liu: “Level 12!”

"Hiss~~~~"

Everyone gasped again.

Then there was general excitement.

Chief Engineer Liu: "But there are too few devices over there, so we can only measure so much. We need the instruments here to measure more data."

"Okay, let's test it."

"Start quickly!"

“Ahhhh~~~~”

quickly,

They tested them one by one in the laboratory with the help of various instruments.

The data came out and amazed everyone!
But everyone still felt it was a bit magical.

"go!"

"Go to the steelmaking workshop and prepare the vacuum furnace immediately. We will practice again..."

"Oh, right, the ingredient list? And what about the process?"

"Here, there are..."

At 1:05 pm, the molten steel in the vacuum furnace reached 1250°C. Chief Engineer Liu stared at the golden vortex in the furnace.

"Out of the furnace!" When the steel ingot is immersed in the cooling tank, steam rises.

After a series of processes,

A new ingot of steel came out.

In the testing room, the indenter of the Brinell hardness tester slowly pressed into the steel ingot until the pointer passed 302HB.

The whole audience cheered!

"really have!"

"so amazing!"

"Keep testing!"

Other tests followed...

One by one, the parameters of the steel were verified to be very similar to those of the steel brought from Hong Kong Island.

"How did you do it?" Chief Engineer Zhang pulled Chief Engineer Liu's sleeve, and was pleasantly surprised. "Tell us about the process?"

Chief Engineer Liu sighed, took out a cigarette, smoked it, and spoke slowly. Then...

"what?"

"A newbie in materials came up with this ratio?"

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Everyone was stunned.

However, they also know that sometimes materials depend a lot on luck.

For example, Victorian bacteriologist Alexander Fleming was studying Staphylococcus. After an experiment, he casually placed an unwashed petri dish on the windowsill, and then he created the famous "penicillin".

For example, in the early 19th century, natural rubber became sticky when heated and hardened when cooled, making it less practical. American inventor Charles Goodyear spent years researching ways to improve it, but to no avail. By chance, in 1839, he accidentally dropped a mixture of rubber and sulfur onto a hot stove during an experiment, and unexpectedly discovered that the material became tough and resistant to high temperatures.

Sometimes, luck is just so outrageous.

"and many more……"

"Why didn't you bring him back..."

As soon as the director said this, everyone looked at Chief Engineer Liu.

Chief Engineer Liu: “…………”

……

Soon, the news was reported to the state.

With this new special steel, the domestic shipbuilding plan can be greatly accelerated!

Finally, this steel was named "multiplied steel"!
……

……

American time is more than ten hours later than Dongda time.

When the night falls on Dongda University,
In San Francisco, it was daytime on November 1993, 11.

Nowadays,

It’s a very important day in San Francisco.

San Francisco Board of Supervisors Election!
San Francisco City Hall and six other locations became temporary voting sites.

(Photo: City Hall)

A large number of citizens went to nearby polling stations to vote.

The voting lasted from morning to afternoon and until 20:00 in the evening, when it finally ended.

Next, the votes will be counted overnight at City Hall.

……

Umbrella Corporation, Penthouse.

Xiao Fu, Abu, Li Jie, Ji Shaoqun, Qiqi and others stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, looking at Chinatown below.

Although it was already 22 p.m., other blocks were already dark.

In Chinatown, lights still line the entire block.

People come and go, it is bustling and lively.

There are white people, black people, Asian people, Latino people…

“Seeing the prosperity here, do you feel like you are back in Hong Kong Island?”

"Yes, I have."

"When we first arrived, the lights were rarely turned on at night. It was too chaotic. Now, a year and a half later, it has become so prosperous."

"Yes, it was too chaotic when we came here, but now that the law and order is better, it attracts more and more people to come here."

"Last time I heard some white people who came here to eat from other places say: It's too late now and there's nowhere to eat. Only Chinatown is open at night, so we have to come to Chinatown for dinner."

"Hahaha~~~"

Everyone laughed.

A sense of accomplishment arises spontaneously.

Soon Xiao Fu's face turned serious: "The votes will be out tonight. Do you think the two candidates we are recommending can win?"

"Definitely win!"

"I will definitely win!"

Everyone is full of confidence.

Xiao Fu: "I am also very confident... After the election, it will be time for the two of them to fulfill their promise."

"I spoke to Zu Ge yesterday and decided to change the plan."

"Our goal has changed to working with other minorities to distract the attention of U.S. officials..."

Currently, the population distribution of San Francisco is:

— Whites, 53.6%
-- Asians, 28.7% (including Chinese 18.1%; Filipinos 5.7%; Japanese 1.6%; Koreans...)
Latino, 13.3%
Blacks, 10.9%
“We want to promote an Immigrant Rights Committee to advocate equal rights…”

"For example, immigrants fight for: labor rights, education rights, housing rights, etc...."

"Provide legal support..."

“Monitor the city’s policies and programs to see if there is discrimination…”

Originally, Guan Zu wanted to set up a "Stop Hate Against Chinese/Asian Americans Committee", but later thought that it was not enough and would incite too much hatred, so it would be better to expand the scope and turn it into a "Stop Hate Against Minorities Committee".

Transform internal conflicts among minorities into external conflicts between minorities and whites.

As for internal conflicts among minorities?
beat!
Resolve the issue internally so that it can be confined to a small area, reduce unrest, and thus reduce official attention.

After hearing this, everyone nodded.

Xiao Fu said seriously: "California has always been the Republican base, and in recent years, the California Democratic Party has gradually gained strength. I guess the Democratic Party will soon try to win us over..."

Republican (conservative): Voters are mostly older, white, wealthier, and better educated.

Democratic Party (Radical): Voters are concentrated in the support of young voters, the poor, blacks, Latinos and Asians, and the less educated.

Xiao Fu: "In addition, there is another plan that needs to be changed: the subsequent political route will be for Ajie to replace me and enter California politics."

This was confirmed after Guan Zu and Xiao Fu had a phone call and chat.

Xiaofu is from the mainland, which is a bit inappropriate.

On the contrary, Li Jie, who comes from **, is more suitable than Xiao Fu.

Moreover, Li Jie has an awe-inspiring sense of righteousness, which makes him suitable for fooling people.

"Next, our goal is to push Li Jie to join the Democratic Party, and then use the power of the Democratic Party..."

As for the Democratic Party, there are many monsters and demons?

Sorry, I am the most evil and devilish one!

……

April 11, 3:2 in the morning.

The counting of votes for the election was officially completed, and the results were quickly sent to the Election Commission, which then sent the results to the Mayor's office.

9 points,
The mayor went to work and the information department held a press conference to announce the election results.

"The election results..."

"Tom Armagno won with 30% of the vote..."

"Deng Shimei won the election with 26% of the votes..."

"..."

noon,

News television stations in the San Francisco Bay Area and California reported the news.

"The person who received the highest number of votes was Tom Armagno, who supports homosexuality, rent stabilization, and equal rights for minorities..."

"It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that a Chinese American legislator has appeared on the California political stage... This marks the rise of Chinese Americans..."

"The Chinese population currently accounts for 18.1% of San Francisco, which is a force that cannot be ignored."

The Democratic Party’s TV station reported:

“This time, one candidate from the African-American, Latino and Singaporean communities was also successfully elected as a member of the Supervisory Committee.”

"That is to say, four seats on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors are already occupied by minorities..."

"This shows that the Democratic Party is gradually gaining recognition from more citizens. The Democratic Party has always adhered to the grassroots mass line..."
