"Conversion of raw material gas into product ammonia is the main contradiction in the synthesis ammonia process, while the production of toxic substances such as methanol and formaldehyde is a secondary contradiction. The secondary contradiction may be transformed into the main contradiction under certain conditions, which is the unqualified synthesis gas generated in production. If we can take measures to recover the useful gas in the waste gas, we can turn adverse factors into favorable factors, so... what kind of trick is this special meow!"

Feng Xiaochen threw away a project application from a distance, showing a disgusting expression on his face. Wu Shican sighed, walked up to pick up the application, and handed it to Hu Yuehong, a staff member of the Planning Office next to him, and said, "Xiao Hu, please write a few opinions. The wording should not be too intense. Although you want to return it, don't make people feel unbearable."

"Old Wu, you are too kind. Do you still need to worry about their face for such garbage?" Feng Xiaochen said angrily. This project report titled "Research on the Three Waste Treatment Issues in Synthetic Ammonia Process Based on Two Contradictory Views" was handed over by the Deputy Minister of the Organization Department of the University of Technology that Wu Shican said. There are not many chemical terms in it. The quotes of Marxism-Leninist classics are everywhere, showing some political work skills. But the problem is that what the reinstallation office needs is the process technology of large fertilizer equipment. What do you want to talk about Marxism-Leninism in a long paragraph?

Wu Shican smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Feng, after all, we are a coordination organization, so it's not easy to offend people too much. Xiao Quanliang has good interpersonal relationships in the industry. Several well-known professors have greeted me. I just bit the bullet and decided to return his application. If I don't say a few words of scenes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet in the future."

"There are such people, and there are great professors who can help him speak?" Feng Xiaochen said in surprise, "Are these professors afraid that they will be implicated by him?"

Wu Shican said: "What's the solution? I heard that Xiao Quanliang may be promoted to the Organization Minister of the University of Technology. The middle-level cadres of the University of Technology have to flatter him. The professors are also staying in the school. They must not be free from the world, right?"

Feng Xiaochen looked at Wu Shican and asked carefully: "Old Wu, don't you want to be in the world, do you?"

"I am a worldly fireworks. Do you think I am a god?" Wu Shican scolded, and then sighed: "Xiao Feng, don't worry, since I have done this job, I will definitely not trade the interests of the country. However, you must also understand my difficulties. Chemical engineering is just such a big circle, all of whom are old acquaintances from the past. Can I not give any face at all? I just politely blocked people back, and I have offended many people. Alas, if I had known that it was the result, I would rather stay in the Chemical Design Institute at the beginning."

The last sentence was a complaint made by Feng Xiaochen. Wu Shican left the Chemical Design Institute to come to the reinstallation office, and Luo Xiangfei and Feng Xiaochen came to the door to invite him. To put it directly, it was Feng Xiaochen's aggressive method that inspired him. He was a great expert who threw his major into the reinstallation office to do these administrative affairs, so he would not say anything. He also offended so many industry colleagues for the reinstallation office. Even if he complained a few times, Feng Xiaochen would have to accept it?

Feng Xiaochen giggled and said, "Old Wu, don't complain. Think about it, if it weren't for you to check here, and if it were someone who was not as principled as you, letting go of these chaotic applications, wasting the country's precious scientific research fund, wouldn't you feel sad?"

"That's right." Wu Shican continued to sigh, "If you offend someone, you have to offend someone. It's better than letting the country suffer losses. Besides, this bid is not just a matter of being angry, and there are many things that make people happy. For example, the new technology idea of ​​using ruthenium-based catalysts is very innovative. If it can be accomplished, it is tantamount to a revolution in the synthetic ammonia process. The most commendable thing is that the person who proposed this plan is just a young lecturer, just 30 years old, which is really a terrifying young man!"

"Director Wu, you are talking about the applicant named Wang Hongtai, the Chemical Engineering Department of Pujiang Jiaotong University. I heard you have praised him several times." Hu Yuehong said with a smile.

"That's right, it's him!" Wu Shican's face was filled with joy and said to Feng Xiaochen: "Xiao Feng, you may not know much. The use of accelerators for ruthenium catalysts can greatly improve the activity of the catalyst, which avoids the frequent occurrence of catalyst poisoning caused by hydrogen during the reaction. The synthesis system can achieve a high conversion rate under low pressure conditions. The difficulty of manufacturing synthesis ammonia equipment will be greatly reduced, and it can save a lot of energy.

I also read Wang Hongtai’s application and checked the literature. I found that Japanese and British scientists have noticed this direction, but they are just starting out. If we can carry out this research now, we can compete with them."

"This is a good thing!" Feng Xiaochen said. He did not know much about the technology of synthetic ammonia, but he remembered that many new synthetic ammonia processes in later generations did begin to be brewing in this era. China has been following for various reasons, often waiting for others to develop a process. We spend a lot of money to introduce it, and we are always one step behind.

If someone has seen the development direction of technological frontiers today and can actively explore, even if they cannot develop these technologies first, they can still reach a level of equality with foreign countries. A revolutionary new process is often supported by hundreds of patents. If you enter one day earlier, you may be able to obtain some of these patents, so that you can have the right to dialogue with other countries.

Feng Xiaochen can't say what the prospects of this new ruthenium catalyst process have, but since Wu Shican gave it such a high evaluation, it must be of some value. Sometimes scientific research is venture capital, and the money invested may not be able to obtain profits, but if you don't invest, there will definitely be no profits.

The 100 million marks transferred back from Mingbao Bank this time have been made arrangements for the research and development of large fertilizer equipment, of which 80% are used for the development of new materials and new processes that are urgently needed, and the other 20% are used as funding for theoretical research to develop long-term technologies. For example, the new synthetic ammonia process based on ruthenium catalyst proposed by Wang Hongtai is currently a cutting-edge research abroad, and it is obviously attributed to the subsequent 20% of the projects supported.

"Since it is a technology that is also being studied abroad, we cannot miss it. We should give strong support. Lao Hu, how much funds has Wang Hongtai applied for? Is it within the scope we can bear?" Feng Xiaochen asked Hu Yuehong.

Hearing Feng Xiaochen's question, Hu Yuehong's face looked a little strange. He looked at Wu Shican and said, "He applied for 80,000 yuan."

"80,000 yuan!" Feng Xiaochen clenched his ears with his hands and asked, "Old Hu, I heard it right. He only applied for 80,000 yuan in a new process development?"

Wu Shican said: "Yes, this is also something I plan to discuss with you. I have read his application and I feel a little crying. Every expenditure is considered very cost-effective. Some experimental equipment is planned to buy second-hand goods from others to transform, and some fertilizer plants in other provinces do experiments. They don't even include accommodation fees, and they say they can find an acquaintance to solve the problem."

"Damn!" Feng Xiaochen said a national curse that only time travelers understand, and pointed at the application he had just thrown away with his finger: "This special cat dares to apply for the use of a contradictory perspective to control waste gas. A research project that may lead to a craft revolution is only 80,000 yuan. What are the rules!"

Wu Shican said: "It's very simple. Is this Xiao Quanliang a professor or a deputy director of the Organization Department? He is famous and has connections in the industry. When he comes to apply for a project, he is embarrassed to mention it if he is less than 200,000 yuan. Wang Hongtai is just a lecturer and an unknown junior. If he didn't only ask for 80,000 yuan in funds, he would probably be defeated during the initial review of their school, saying that he is too ambitious."

"This is what is called seniority ranking?" Feng Xiaochen said.

"Isn't it? In terms of seniority, you can't help but be there." Wu Shican said.

Feng Xiaochen thought for a while and said, "Old Wu, do you think Wang Hongtai's application is feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible, very promising."

"Can you make hope even if you spend 80,000 yuan?"

"...This is probably a bit difficult. I guess it's just a theoretical derivation, do a few experiments to verify it, and then it's done."

"If we want to make some results, how much does it cost to go along with those studies in Japan and the UK?"

"Walking with each other?" Wu Shican looked bitter and shook his head, "As far as I know, the investments of companies in Japan and Britain are calculated at least tens of millions of dollars in the development of new processes. It is almost impossible for us to go hand in hand with them."

"Okay, not to mention running side by side, at least how much does it cost to reach the level of being able to match the top one?" Feng Xiaochen could only settle for the second best. Indeed, the development of cutting-edge technologies is all made of money. With China's current national strength, it is tantamount to comparing scientific research investment with developed countries, which is tantamount to begging and dragon kings. But with the existing conditions, at least there is hope to keep up with the international frontier.

Wu Shican thought for a while and said, "If Wang Hongtai is indeed capable and supports it with one or two million yuan, he should be able to achieve some good results, so that foreign peers have to look up to us."
