Material Empire

It was not the first time for Qin Hai to cooperate with ministries and commissions. But this cooperation with the State Planning Commission still opened Qin Hai's horizons. The planning committee's ability to allocate resources is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. After a single notice, relevant units all over the country became restless.

To hold a material science and technology exhibition, Qin Hai, the chief expert, would naturally not be able to turn, and even Chen Heqian could only stand aside. Wang Hongsheng invited teachers from the Academy of Sciences, Mr. Li and others, as well as seven or eight other middle-aged experts in various fields, and most of them had some kind of academician title. Chen Heqian and Li Linguang hadn't reached their academic peak at this time, and they could only keep their eyebrows low and pleasing to the eye in front of these great talents.

Qin Hai had dealt with these great people in his previous life, and had good personal relationships with several of them. In this life, although no one knew him, his humility, intelligence and down-to-earth still moved all the experts. Mr. Shi and Mr. Li are old seniors in the material industry. They are highly respected and have always been willing to support newcomers. Seeing that Qin Hai has a good understanding of material science, and rarely has the impetuosity of young people, he naturally admires him. When Wang Hongsheng asked them for advice on how to organize the exhibition, they unanimously said: What Qin Hai did was very much in line with their wishes, so just let this young man do it.

With such a Shangfang sword, it will be much easier for Qin Hai to do things. Most of the people who are in the front line of material research across the country have a mentoring relationship with these talented people. Qin Hai made a big banner out of tiger's skin and made an offer to them, asking them to take out their favorite products, pack them according to Qin Hai's requirements, and prepare to participate in the exhibition. Naturally, these people would not dare to disobey.

In the entire material science circle, except for a few young scholars who are in the military industry department or some other important departments, most of the rest have been recruited by Qin Hai to the Anhe Materials College. Therefore, Qin Hai has left enough space for the School of Materials at this materials exhibition. After more than a year of construction, the Anhe School of Materials, driven by a large amount of funds, has produced many dazzling results, and it is time to accept the review.

Regarding the format of the exhibition, Qin Hai had to think a lot. Many of the exhibition projects he designed require various post-processing in addition to the materials involved, and some even require professionals in advertising and art to provide creative ideas. After such a round of tossing, two or three months passed.

In Qin Hai's view, it is too inefficient to spend several months preparing for an exhibition. But in Wang Hongsheng's eyes, this is already a very fast pace. In the past, the planning committee system organized some large-scale exhibitions, and the preparation work took more than half a year, because only in this way can it be perfect and fully demonstrate the strength of an authoritative department.

In the spring of 1992, the first National New Material Science and Technology Exhibition was grandly opened in the Beijing Exhibition Hall. When the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of people in the industry and the media around the world.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are now in front of the Beijing Exhibition Hall in Beijing, China, to introduce the grand occasion of China's first National New Material Technology Exhibition. Different from previous Chinese exhibitions, this exhibition brings us One of the outstanding impressions is that it is not like a technology exhibition at all, it is more like a carnival, yes, this is a dazzling carnival!

Joris, a reporter from Fox TV in the United States, held a microphone, stood in the large empty field in front of the exhibition hall, and reported on the spot in an extremely exaggerated tone. After several years of freezing, relations between China and the West have begun to thaw. Taking advantage of this material science and technology exhibition, the Chinese government, in the name of several ministries and commissions, sent invitation letters to key companies and media from Western countries, asking them to send people to visit. In fact, both the inviting party and the invited party understand that this is just a step acceptable to both parties. With such a visit, follow-up contacts will become natural.

From this perspective, the significance of this exhibition is not limited to materials technology or economic activities, but also has deep political considerations behind it. Of course, this question was considered by Wang Hongsheng, and Qin Hai and others didn't know about it.

Joris also came here after receiving an invitation letter from China. Before leaving, he made up his mind to only make a superficial report on this so-called material science and technology exhibition. His focus will be on the stalemate with the West for several years. China's current situation. It is not unreasonable for him to think this way, because the directors of the entire Fox TV station believe that a material science and technology exhibition must be boring, and it is impossible to earn ratings for the TV station by reporting on this kind of exhibition.

However, when Joris came to the exhibition site, he was immediately attracted by the format of the exhibition. Looking at all kinds of unique designs, a word came to his mind subconsciously: Carnival.

That's right, this is exactly what Qin Hai hopes to achieve, a carnival that fully demonstrates the charm of material technology.

The square outside the exhibition hall was covered with a layer of crystal bright stained glass overnight. Different from the glass that people usually see, this kind of glass looks very soft in color and extremely bright. Under the shining of the sun, the whole square exudes a dreamlike light, which makes the people in it feel mesmerized. The most novel thing is that although the glass on the ground has been trampled by countless people, as long as the cleaner wipes it with a wet mop, it will look as good as new.

In the center of the square, there is a group of animal sculptures made of the same glass, next to a sign made of the same material. On the sign, there is a detailed introduction, telling the audience that this kind of glass is called glass-ceramic, which has the advantages of both glass and ceramics, high hardness, corrosion resistance, and beautiful appearance, suitable for various architectural decorations.

There is no doubt that many housewives have been conquered by this crazy beautiful glass before they even entered the exhibition hall. They pulled their husbands and whispered that they must use such materials to decorate the kitchen and bathroom in their newly allocated houses, because only such materials can be worthy of their new houses.

Walk across the square, and in front of it is a place that says Ticket Exchange Office. Visitors are given paper invitations, which they will exchange for official tickets here. Joris and his colleagues came here, took out the invitation card, and after the staff inspected it, they handed each of them a thin card.

This is your visit ticket. You can use this card to pass all the places where you need to swipe the visit ticket for instructions. The beautiful female college student in charge of the reception introduced them in fluent English.

Joris is an extremely sensualist and never misses an opportunity to flirt with a girl. Seeing that the card in his hand was as thin as cicada feathers, he pretended to be innocent and asked, Beautiful lady, what I want to say is, can this card be folded?

Yes. The girl replied with a smile, if you have the ability to fold it up.

Really? Joris froze for a moment, then tried to fold the cards in his hand. Contrary to the girl's prediction, he easily folded the card in two, but just when he was about to show off, he found that the card unfolded naturally and returned to its original shape, with Can't see any creases.

Oh, this is amazing! Joris exclaimed, and then continued the experiment. Seeing this, the camera reporter beside him also put down the camera, and began to try to fold the card in his hand. But no matter what method they used, they couldn't keep the card in its folded shape, and they couldn't leave any creases on the card.

You don't need to work hard. This is our newly developed high-strength polymer material. Don't say you fold it by hand. Even if you press it with a road roller, it will remain flat. The girl said with a smile.

This is really a good thing. If you use it to print photos, or make business cards, and make playing cards... By the way, it can also be used to print primary school textbooks. Mom no longer has to worry about me crumpling the corners of the book. ... Joris said exaggeratedly.

The girl pursed her lips, suppressed a smile, gestured with her hand, and said, You two gentlemen, you can go in. By the way, the door of the exhibition hall is held by magnets. If you can open the door directly without using the ticket Break open, then you will receive the 'Hercules' trophy issued by the organizing committee of the exhibition.

What do you mean? Joris was confused. How can the organizer of the exhibition encourage visitors to knock on the door?

Joris' confusion was resolved after a minute. At the entrance, they saw a dozen or so shoulder-high fence gates, all of which were closed. Outside every door, there are challengers trying to brute force. These people first pushed the door with all their strength, then took two steps back and hit the door with their shoulders. I don't know who was so considerate, and even installed a leather pad on the door, probably because he was afraid that the person who bumped into the door would hurt his shoulder.

After several unsuccessful attempts at doors, the impulsive character kicks. It's not that they are unruly, it's because there is a steel plate less than one meter high on the door, and a footprint is clearly drawn on it, which is clearly a place for people to step on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The impact after another attracted countless onlookers, and there was no lack of people who cheered and cheered. However, all the challengers failed in the end, and they had to take out their visit tickets with a blushing face and swipe their cards at the gate to pass. Strange to say, the door that so many people tried their best to break open was easily opened with a swipe of the card, making people feel that what everyone did just now was like acting.

Joris followed the others to the door for a closer look, and couldn't help being dumbfounded. It turns out that these doors are all attracted to the door frame by a magnet, and that magical magnet is only the size of a fingernail.
