Xu Wenliang can be said to be like a mountain of Tai Diu in the field of metallurgical machinery. Jian Jianping is also a figure in the Metallurgical Design Institute, but in front of Xu Wenliang, he can only be regarded as a disciple, so Xu Wenliang can be mercilessly defamed, and he dare not retort.

When Jian Jianping heard Xu Wenliang ask how big he had seen, he was a little embarrassed. He stammered and said, "Old Xu, if this technology is put into today, it is of course nothing. Some college students can design it. But this drawing was drawn in 1980. At that time, how many people of this level can be found in the country?"

Xu Wenliang smiled slightly, got up and went around his bedroom, took out a few yellowed paper drawings, spread them in front of Zhao Jian, Jian Jianping and others, and said, "Look at this, hehe, you are lucky enough. I have saved it for more than 20 years. When will I donate it to the National Museum as a cultural relic?"

Zhao Jian and Wang Fengshuo both took a look, but did not see any name. These were just a few ordinary drawings, with some drawings drawn with pencils. Because they were old, the handwriting in some places was blurred. They were not professional, nor even engineering students, so how could they understand such things?

Jian Jianping is different. He is a professional rolling mill design and deals with various design drawings all day long. He looked at these drawings carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Mr. Xu, I can see that this is the content of the article "1700mm Hot Rolling Mill Process Optimization" written by you and Teacher Cui Yongfeng? Let me see, this is the slab fixed-width side pressure device, this is the cross-roll design, which is the trick of our current design of rolling mills! Oh my God, are you saying... this is your idea back then?"

More than 20 years ago, the article "1700mm Hot Rolling Mill Process Optimization" jointly signed by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng was published in a well-known international metallurgical journal, which caused shock in the field of metallurgical equipment worldwide. In this article, Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng introduced more than a dozen new ideas for rolling mill design, and these ideas have already applied for patents in advance. In order to obtain these patents, international metallurgical equipment giants Japan Sanli Steel Institute and West Declinz Company had to come up with a large number of technologies to exchange with China. Qin Chong and Pu Chong have gained several steps in rolling mill design and manufacturing because of obtaining patents exchanged by these Western countries.

To this day, the new ideas of that year have become obsolete, but the new design ideas inspired by these ideas are still guiding the latest mill design. All technologies are inherited. In order to propose new design ideas, Jian Jianping and others need to constantly review traditional ideas. The article by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng is a classic document in the field of mills, which they cannot avoid no matter what innovation they make.

Because of this, when Jian Jianping saw these yellowed drawings, he understood that the slightly sloppy schematic diagrams on it were the initial concepts of the designs in the article. Mechanical design always starts with concepts and then gradually takes shape. The concept is the most embodied in the designer's genius idea. Some masters do not need to draw pictures themselves. As long as they come up with some ideas, they can then hand them over to the assistant to transform them into specific designs.

Jian Jianping himself has done such a work, and naturally he can see how exquisite the original diagrams contain. It can be said that after these sketches, any metallurgical mechanical engineer with a slightly more skilled level can complete the subsequent work.

"Old Xu, this is such a treasure!" Jian Jianping said with admiration, "How did you think of these ideas back then?"

Xu Wenliang smiled and said, "Xiao Jian, you made a mistake. These pictures were not drawn by me. I remember it was in 1981. The country intended to introduce Clinz's rolling mill manufacturing technology, but I couldn't figure it out. A cadre from the Metallurgical Bureau of the State Economic Commission came to my home to do my ideological work. After he looked at the mill drawings I designed, he told me that my design ideas were backward and I needed to have an open mind to accept international advanced technology and use them for my own use. Seeing that he could not convince me, he told me some of his own ideas about future mill designs. This was the sketch he drew at that time."

"Are you talking about Teacher Cui Yongfeng? No, hasn't he been working in Qin Chong all the time?" Jian Jianping was a little confused. These sketches were not painted by Xu Wenliang, but these techniques appeared in articles written by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng, so it can only be Cui Yongfeng's contribution. However, this is unreasonable. Jian Jianping knew Cui Yongfeng and knew that Cui Yongfeng had always worked in Qin Chong and had never worked in the State Economic Commission. Xu Wenliang clearly stated that this was painted by a cadre of the State Economic Commission for him.

"It's not Yongfeng." Xu Wenliang said, "This comrade who drew pictures for me was only 20 years old at the time and had only a junior high school education..."

"You mean..." Jian Jianping's eyes widened. No matter how dull he was, he could hear who Xu Wenliang was referring to. At this moment, he felt that the alpaca was running wildly in his heart, imagining a song "My Sun" like Pavarotti. In addition, his knees were a little soft and he wanted to kneel...

Zhao Jian also understood, and even responded faster than Jian Jianping. He leaned forward, carefully examined the drawings, and asked in disbelief: "Old Xu, are you saying that this was drawn by Comrade Feng Xiaochen? And it was in 1981?"

"That's true." Xu Wenliang said in a reserved tone.

"Then, we... can we take a few photos?" Wang Fengshuo stammered and asked for instructions.

"It's totally OK." Xu Wenliang responded.

Wang Fengshuo took out the camera he carried with him and took these drawings with a click. The drawings contain notes written by Feng Xiaochen. In the future, as long as you do a handwriting appraisal, you can determine whether Xu Wenliang's words are true. A person's handwriting is characterized, and the handwriting of different ages will also be different. The report written by Feng Xiaochen that year, the resumes he filled in, etc., were found on it. It was very professional for the discipline department to do this kind of appraisal work.

Jian Jianping also recovered from his shock at this time. He asked Xu Wenliang: "Mr. Xu, what do you mean is that these ideas are actually provided by Mr. Feng. You and Teacher Cui are just...uh, I mean..."

He didn't know how to continue, and the following words were really not very good. Xu Wenliang said for him: "You are right. The original creator of these ideas is Xiao Feng. Yongfeng and I have just perfected his ideas. It was not us who contributed the most, but Xiao Feng. However, when publishing the article, Xiao Feng firmly disagrees with us writing his name in front of us, and even unwilling to write his name in the list of authors. You can go and find the articles of that year, and we only wrote his name in the place of thanks. Alas, speaking of it, both of us took advantage of Xiao Feng."

"But why is this?" Jian Jianping was a little confused. In academic institutions, signatures are always a matter of strife. For whom the first to propose a certain idea, old friends who have been decades can turn against each other. The article by Xu Wenliang and Cui Yongfeng has an amazing citation rate. If it were placed today, this article can be praised as a professor. Since Feng Xiaochen is the original creator of these ideas, why did he refuse to sign?

"This is Mr. Feng's noble character." Zhao Jian said with emotion. He could understand what Jian Jianping couldn't understand. In recent years, Feng Xiaochen has been willing to be an unknown hero. No one knows that the discipline department sees it. Many things that seem to be great honors to others. Feng Xiaochen will give them to colleagues and colleagues at will. Tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Feng Xiaochen will not hesitate to let his family's business take it out and contribute to the country in vain.

The right to sign an article is indeed very important to Jian Jianping, Xu Wenliang, Cui Yongfeng and others, but Feng Xiaochen was a cadre of the Economic Commission back then and was not prepared to take the technical route, so it is meaningless to sign in the article. It is better to give the right to sign an article to Xu Wenliang. Of course, it is meaningless to say that it is just that relatively speaking, it is very useful to the cadres of the agency. It is just that Feng Xiaochen disdains to pursue it.

Zhao Jian has always known that Feng Xiaochen is a selfless person, but he has an idea that Feng Xiaochen is like this now, which does not mean that it was the same more than 20 years ago. After all, Feng Xiaochen was only 20 years old at that time and his worldview has not yet been formed. However, based on the past that Xu Wenliang said, Zhao Jian can be sure that Feng Xiaochen has been a noble person since he was young, a pure person, and a person who has separated from low-level interests...

Xu Wenliang sold it for a long time to elicit Zhao Jian's words. Hearing Zhao Jian say this, he said to everyone in a manner of relying on his old age: "You think a set of curved roller series device is amazing, but for Xiao Feng, it is just a small invention. Each of our fifteen patents is worth more than tens of millions of dollars. We used the fifteen patents to exchange for the technology from Sanli and Clinz, worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Think about it, if Xiao Feng was a greedy person, would he contribute such technology for free?"

"I understand." Zhao Jian nodded desperately, "Mr. Feng's enlightenment is really worthy of our attention. We cannot look at him from the perspective of ordinary people."

Xu Wenliang was still unsatisfied and continued, "Also, if you think that selling technology like the bending roller tandem device to foreigners will cause losses to the country, then I can tell you that you are wrong. This technology did not have any effect on the mill manufacturing of our country back then, because our technical level had not reached this level. Later, we learned the technology of Sanli and Clinz, and the level improved. Xiao Feng specially contacted me and Yongfeng and told us several new bending rod tandem technologies, which were much more sophisticated than the technology he sold to foreign companies. In other words, he actually invented several technologies, and sold the worst technology to foreigners, and left the best technology, without taking the money, and gave it to Qin Chong directly."
