Chapter 56 Unexpected difficulties!
“The visits are really amazing.”
Tan Qinggu expressed his excitement and said to Gao Yuan: "Kunlun asked, the current visits have reached the average daily level of tens of millions. You must know that we are a pure academic website and are completely in Chinese. If we can have such popularity today, we can only describe it as horror."
Gao Yuan nodded gently. When the popularity continues during this period, the traffic flow of Kunlun asked Dao will inevitably decline, but in any case, the goal has been achieved and far exceeds expectations.
As Kunlun Inquiry's popularity soared, more domestic related research institutions have extended olive branches to grant Kunlun Inquiry's copyright authorization to facilitate the enrichment of the database.
In short, Gao Yuan’s own efforts, coupled with the military’s leading support, and the help of other scientific research institutes, actually made Kunlun’s questioning work.
In the field of materials science, there are four top journals in the world, namely, Nature, Science, North American Chemical Society publications, and Advanced Materials.
Nowadays, the academic community generally believes that because Kunlun asked the novel, the status of the four top journals of materials science has been completely shaken, and it will even face the risk of a reshuffle in the future.
Tan Qinggu said to Gao Yuan seriously: "I have two ideas now. First, resort to the law, sue those who illegally translate your papers, and take them to court!"
"Second, taking advantage of the current opportunity, are we considering establishing our own academic journal based on Kunlun's question?"
Gao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "I just thought about these two questions you mentioned."
"First of all, don't worry about prosecution. We just need to issue a statement and maintain the right to hold accountable. After all, it is not realistic for us to take legal means on such a large-scale translation and dissemination. It costs money to sue. We can't sue the entire academic community."
"But we can maintain the right to hold accountable. If there is a conflict with the Western academic community in the future, we can sacrifice this as a weapon to attack our opponents."
"As for the issue of journals, I fully agree with your idea. The right time, place and people should not only launch our own academic journals, but also launch them while the iron is hot and quickly. It is best to be officially published next month."
"I don't think the name will change, but if you want to add a suffix, it's called "Kunlun Ask the Dao - Materials Science". If we want to launch a physics journal in the future, it's called "Kunlun Ask the Dao - Physics], and so on."
Tan Qinggu was surprised by Plateau's ambitions. He seemed to want to turn Kunlun into a large comprehensive academic journal, not just to focus on materials science.
Every day after the Spring Festival is fulfilling and busy.
Gao Yuan finished the company's daily work, and then he and Xu Qingzhou and others went to Shuguang Research Institute, a subsidiary of Sinochem Group.
Thanks to the series of high-profile actions by Kunlun Company since last year, Gao Yuan and others have already gained fame. Before they came, the General Equipment Department had specially greeted him, so it was undoubtedly received.
The Shuguang Research Institute was held in a rather luxurious hotel by the river in the beautiful Guilin.
The local dishes in Guangxi are mainly spicy and spicy, and have a very good flavor. Unfortunately, I drank too much during the Chinese New Year on the plateau, which has some sequelae and has a little disgusting with alcohol.
In addition, he didn't like to be polite with others, so before the banquet ended, he sneaked out of the restaurant on the excuse of going to the bathroom.
Thinking that Guilin is the best in the world, I don’t know when I come again next time, I climbed down the plateau and thought of going to the riverside to see the night view.
As a result, he met an acquaintance at the end of the ladder, who seemed to be named Li Changxing, one of the accompanying staff in Shuguang Academy, who was a skilled person.
Compared with those administrators, Li Changxing seemed to be a dull man. He was not good at talking. After introducing himself, he sat in the corner and drank with a dull man.
"Boss Gao, do you smoke?"
Li Changxing was surprised and smiled a little reservedly, handed over half a box of wrinkled cigarettes and Yuxi brand.
"Thank you, I won't smoke." Gao Yuan refused politely.
Li Changxing didn't say much, he took out a stub and looked at his skillful posture, which should be the old smoker.
"I didn't expect to meet you here."
"We all came out to hide from each other, so let's not praise each other."
"Boss Gao is really funny. I wonder what you thought about when you visited our aviation tire laboratory this afternoon?"
Gao Yuan frowned and stared at the moonlight of Yingying Zhuozhuo on the river, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
Li Changxing was slightly stunned, "Of course I want to hear the truth."
Gao Yuan shook his head, "There is no chance. Before I came, I thought it was a chemical material problem. As long as I transformed rubber substrates, adhesives, vulcanizers, etc., I could produce products that were as excellent as the three giants of tires, or even better than them."
"But after looking around with you, I realized that I was really too naive. The problem with tires is not just because of materials science, but even the machine for making tires is much worse."
"Although I'm not a professional, according to my observation, the tire forming machine in the afternoon may be no problem in manufacturing ordinary car tires. I'm afraid the accuracy is far from enough to build aviation tires."
Gao Yuan was just talking casually, but who would have thought that Li Changxing could not hide his excitement. He slapped the railings by the river and said, "Boss Gao is worthy of being a genius of generations. What you said is really right!"
"Aviation tires are almost completely monopolized by the Big Three. When I was working in Japan before, Bridgestone's molding machine was designed and manufactured independently by itself, and the specific parameters are completely confidential to the outside world."
"If you really want to deal with the quality and chemical properties of the substrate, you actually do it well, especially the rubber substrates of Continental Germany or the adhesives of Yokohama in Japan, which are famous in the industry."
"But in the real world, Bridgestone, Michelin, Goodyear, and the three tire giants occupy almost 50% of the global market share! The reason is that they have too many technologies in their hands. Even their tire forming machines are developed by themselves. No matter how much you spend, it is impossible to buy them in the market!"
Gao Yuan thought about it and said: "Help you get what you gain. According to data from the global survey company IDC, in 2019, the R&D investment of Michelin in France and Bridgestone in Japan was about one billion US dollars, while the R&D investment of Goodyear in North America and Continental in Germany was both about five hundred million US dollars."
"As for our country, the highest R&D investment is Linglong Tire and Triangle Tire, which cost 60 million US dollars respectively, and the rest of the manufacturers have invested less, and there is almost no R&D."
"Technology is fair. The gap between R&D investment dozens of times, when it comes to products, it will naturally lead to performance lag, and over time, this technological gap will only become larger and larger."
"By the way, you said you had worked in Japan just now?"
Li Changxing nodded, "I graduated from the University of Tokyo with a doctorate major in materials engineering. Later, I worked at Bridgestone for seven years."
Gao Yuan was slightly stunned. The doctor of Dongda University had worked for Bridgestone for seven years. No wonder he was called by his leader today. He turned out to be a high-end talent.
Gao Yuan smiled, "Then why are you back? Shuguang Academy can't give you Bridgestone's treatment, and your salary will probably drop a lot, right?"
Li Changxing nodded and said, "It's a lot of decline, but there is no way. My mother got sick last year."
Li Changxing explained why he returned to China. After hearing this, Gaoyuan suddenly felt a sense of mutual appreciation. It turned out that Li Changxing's mother also had the same problem as Gaoyuan's father, which was cerebral infarction.
Speaking of which, cerebral infarction is really a terrible disease, and it is most likely that it will suffer from sequelae.
Comrade Gao Xiangnan's legs and feet were not very flexible, while Li Changxing's mother was injured in the language nerves and could not speak. In addition, her legs and feet were not very flexible, but they were not as serious as in language.
Li Changxing's father died early, and the mother and son depended on each other for life. Now that his mother is ill, Li Changxing is another filial son. He had almost no thoughts and chose to return to China.
After returning to China, Li Changxing was hired by Shuguang Academy and became the deputy chief engineer of the aviation tire project. In China, which is ranked by seniority, this is already very exceptional.
But Gao Yuan saw Li Changxing's tone when he talked about these things, he probably didn't have much success. After all, he was a deputy with limited power, and his work unit was a large state-owned enterprise...
Gao Yuan and Li Changxing had a very scheming chat. They stood by the river for half an hour, but they were so anxious that they kept calling him. So Gao Yuan and Li Changxing had to walk back.
"Boss Gao has seen the current situation. I wonder what you plan to do?" Li Changxing asked seriously.
Gao Yuan grabbed his hair, "Aviation tires are much more difficult than I expected, but I can't do mechanical automation and get a new set of tire forming machines, right?"
"So, I have only one choice left now."
"You mean?" Li Changxing showed a very interested look, and at the same time he was a little worried, afraid that Gaoyuan would give up.
"I plan to push down all the current tire production process without leaving any of them." Gao Yuan said lightly while looking at the steps beneath his feet.
