Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

Vice Minister Hou returned to the Ministry of Chemical Industry from the Red Star Steel Plant with a lot of harvest. After entering the Ministry of Chemical Industry, he could not wait to go to Minister Peng's office to report in detail the important achievements of the Fourth Research and Design Institute - the research progress on urea synthesis process.

In the subsequent report, Vice Minister Hou explained in a clear and easy-to-understand manner how the team of the Fourth Research and Design Institute overcame one difficulty after another and gradually improved the urea synthesis process. He emphasized: "After arduous efforts, we have successfully developed this urea synthesis process, which has shown strong potential for industrial production. However, it cannot be directly applied to the agricultural field at present, but this does not mean that we have to stop moving forward. On the contrary, I think this is a great opportunity to consider setting up a small urea production line at the Red Star Steel Plant. In this way, we can not only continue to explore and optimize the urea aqueous solution circulation method, but also effectively meet the urgent demand for urea in the domestic industrial field."

Minister Peng listened attentively to every word of Vice Minister Hou, nodding slightly from time to time to show his agreement with his views. After Vice Minister Hou finished his report, Minister Peng pondered for a moment, and then decisively issued an order: "Since colleagues from the Fourth Research and Design Institute have successfully solved the key problem of urea synthesis process, then next, while actively promoting the research work on carbonization method for ammonium bicarbonate production, we must further strengthen the research on urea aqueous solution circulation method. We must go all out and strive to achieve a major breakthrough in urea aqueous solution circulation technology as soon as possible!"

Minister Peng paused for a moment and continued, "Deputy Minister Hou, you are a well-deserved authority in our chemical industry! Therefore, I particularly hope that you can personally follow up on the relevant research work of the urea aqueous solution circulation method and ensure that the research is carried out smoothly and the progress is not affected."

Hearing this, Vice Minister Hou quickly responded: "Please rest assured, Minister Peng. I will definitely keep an eye on the research progress of the urea aqueous solution circulation method. However, when I went to Red Star Iron and Steel Plant to learn about the urea synthesis, a comrade named He Yuzhu from Red Star Iron and Steel Plant made a very good suggestion. He thought that we could consider building a few more sets of small-scale experimental equipment. In this way, when several sets of equipment are running together, the efficiency of our entire research and development work will surely be greatly improved. The key reason why the urea team of the Fourth Research and Design Institute was able to control the various technical parameters involved in the urea synthesis process so quickly was that they simultaneously activated 6 small reaction towers to carry out experimental operations." Vice Minister Hou conveyed He Yuzhu's suggestion to Minister Peng truthfully.

Upon hearing this, Minister Peng made a prompt and generous statement: "Since adding more experimental equipment will help speed up research and development, why not just build a few more! Deputy Minister Hou, in your opinion, is it feasible to build 10 sets of experimental equipment at one time?"

In response to Minister Peng's bold words, Vice Minister Hou could not help but nod his head and said, "If we can really build 10 sets of experimental equipment, that would be great!"

"In that case, let's start building 10 sets of experimental equipment immediately! Time is tight and there is no room for delay. I will immediately call the two ministers of the First Industrial Machinery Ministry and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry and ask them to help allocate relevant experimental equipment resources. By the way, Vice Minister Hou, whether these 10 sets of experimental equipment can be operated at the same time depends on whether the staffing is sufficient. As far as you know, does our Fourth Design Institute currently have enough experienced and skilled professionals to operate these complex experimental equipment? After all, this is not an easy task!"

Hearing this, Deputy Minister Hou frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "Well... judging from the current personnel situation of the Fourth Design Institute, theoretically there should be no problem. But there is always a chance of something happening. If we really encounter a shortage of manpower, we don't have to worry too much. At that time, we can consider transferring some teachers and students from the universities under the ministry to provide support to ensure that the project is not affected." His tone was firm and confident, as if he had already made up his mind.
