The Literary Life of a Science Leader

Chapter 28 The Global Industrial Chain Is Affected
Materials are the foundation of industry, once there is a breakthrough in materials, it will affect the overall industrial manufacturing.

Mu Jingchi made another performance breakthrough on the original aluminum alloy, while keeping the cost unchanged. Such news immediately radiated from Huaqing University to the entire material industry.

Then spread to all walks of life.

Li Shufu, the boss of Geely Group, also brought his team to Huaqing University. He didn't hold a polite meeting, and Li Shufu took his team directly to the laboratory of the School of Materials Science and Technology.

Yang Wenwu, the dean, vice dean, senior party officials of the School of Materials Science and Technology, and the vice dean of Huaqing University received people from the Geely Group together.

Of course, Mu Jingchi was among them.

After all, this material breakthrough is his scientific research achievement, which no one can take away.

Auspicious Li Shufu greeted these leaders one by one, and after some brief politeness, he went straight to the topic.

The scientific research team he brought started to connect with Wang Binbin for research, which involved various experimental scheme designs, experimental data, material and process issues, etc. These were very cumbersome things.

Mu Jingchi didn't participate in it because he had to face Li Shufu.

Meeting room.

Yang Wenwu pulled the low-key Mu Jingchi over, and said to Li Shufu with a full smile, "Old Li, this is your God of Wealth, and the researcher of this material breakthrough, my doctoral student, Mu Jingchi .”

Listening to the words, I felt that Yang Wenwu and Li Shufu were a little familiar, and the tone of their mouths was a little out of tune, even the God of Wealth said it.

"It's indeed the God of Wealth," Li Shufu looked at the too young, handsome and timeless Mu Jingchi, "It's really a hero out of youth, too young."

Li Shufu stood up, and took the initiative to shake Mu Jingchi's hand, "You are Lao Yang's doctoral student, and I have a very good relationship with Lao Yang, both of whom are from my own family. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."

His voice was loud and full of energy, and he sounded like a strong middle-aged man.

Mu Jingchi also smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li."

He was not humble at all, and readily accepted the meaning of Li Shufu's words, which was what he deserved.If it weren't for Mu Jingchi's participation in this project, the more than 30 billion yuan of Geely Group is estimated to be in vain.

There are still many scientific research teams working on metal materials.In various ways, the performance of metal materials is squeezed little by little. After all, metal materials are the most reliable and cost-effective for general industries.

As for those composite materials and the like, they are basically used by the defense industry.Even for civilian use, it is not affordable for ordinary enterprises, and the cost is relatively high.

Mu Jingchi once again improved the performance of this aluminum alloy by 30%, proving that metal materials still have room for performance improvement.

"Old Yang, you have to pack a bigger red envelope!"

Yang Wenwu also stood on Mu Jingchi's side, "Based on this new type of material, it is estimated that it will shake up the entire Chinese auto market?"

Li Shufu also laughed when he saw that the topic had changed to this. The smile on his face could hardly be suppressed. "Not only the Chinese auto market, but the international auto market is probably going to be shaken."

The cost of the new aluminum alloy remains unchanged, but the overall performance has increased by 30%. The most direct reflection on the car is that the car is lighter in weight, but its structure is stronger.

With the development of domestic automobiles in recent years, domestic automobile brands have set their direction in rural areas and fifth-tier cities, pulling the price of automobiles to the level of 10 yuan.

At this level, it is basically the world of domestically produced cars.

People have always been criticized for cutting corners and materials. The new car looks good, but after driving it for a few years, the quality will deteriorate a bit quickly.

But this is not because domestic brands do not want to do better, but because of cost constraints.

Regardless of the fact that domestically produced cars are selling well, their profits are very low, and Chinese people still don't recognize that they want to be a high-end brand.In this regard, Geely's Lynk & Co is on the road of groping.

However, with better aluminum alloys, better cars can be made to compete with those joint venture brand cars under the condition of cost constraints.

Aluminum alloys with the same cost and better performance are very popular even for major international automobile brands.

Breakthroughs in materials not only affect the car body, but also various parts in the engine, gearbox, and chassis.

Some parts may have been irreplaceable before, but now they are optional.

In this way, it will not only affect the auto manufacturers themselves, but also affect the auto supply chain all over the world.

This is just the auto industry, and many other industries will be affected.

Because of its high civilian value, it can be said that it can affect the whole body.

It will affect the entire automobile industry, affect various types of industrial manufacturing, and leverage the hundreds of billions of dollars in the market. What Zhang Chuyang said is correct.

This is the vibration that the material brings.

For ordinary people, the impact of materials is not felt at all, because ordinary consumers use finished products, not raw materials.

But in invisible places, the vibrations and ripples brought about by the material can easily spread to the whole world.

Perhaps some national defense and military materials will be restricted due to national policies, but the performance improvement of civilian-grade aluminum alloys with extremely high cost performance will bring about an upgrading and reform of the manufacturing industry.

To be honest, Li Shufu never expected to reap the results so quickly.

He and the group's analysts agreed that scientific research is a must, otherwise there will never be a way to catch up with foreign countries.Huawei is slowly catching up by relying on scientific research, and Geely is also on this road.

Huawei's scientific research focuses on chips, while Geely Group's scientific research focuses on materials.

It's just that Geely Group is not as rich and powerful as Huawei, and it can't find so many material talents.Compared with the semiconductor industry, the material industry is more difficult.

The difficulty of semiconductors is actually reflected in the blockade of domestic equipment by foreign countries, while the difficulty of materials is difficult in all aspects.

In desperation, Geely Group found Yang Wenwu and contacted Wang Binbin. The purpose of this industry-university-research project is not to make breakthroughs in materials, but to cultivate talents and accumulate experience.

But happiness comes so suddenly.

A direct Ph.D. student who just graduated from a bachelor's degree has embarked on the road of self-designing experimental plans within less than half a year after joining the research group, and successfully improved the performance of this aluminum alloy material with his own experimental design.

Li Shufu naturally wanted to get acquainted with this kind of genius.

Even if there is no way to dig out the Geely Group, but if the relationship is established, if the Geely Group's own material research institute encounters difficulties in the future, it can find a big deal to solve it.

It can be said that there is no harm at all, and only some money is paid.

More than 30 billion have been spent, do you still care about this last little reward?
