Chapter 402 empirical formula
"How is the situation inside?" Radell, who had just flew over from the capital, sucked Marlboro in annoyance, and threw his cigarette butt all over the floor.
"I don't know, the materials transported in looked quite normal, mainly solanol, and some ethanol, and ML are commonly used solvents, and the amount is not large." The British people who came with them were not very energetic. They either flew over overnight or went out in the early morning, and were extremely sleepy.
Radell lit another cigarette and asked, "Is refined solanol? Where did it be produced?"
"Of course it is refined solanol, made in China, and our company invested in it, from..." The man looked at the paper in his hand, commented on an "Yunnan" and said: "There are supporting factories for tobacco companies that produce crude solanol and then shipped to..."
"I know." Radell was too lazy to listen and asked again: "Where are other things? How many are there?"
"I don't know, I can't get in now. Yang's lawyer is watching. These information are provided by the Chinese themselves."
“Has it been verified?”
"It's verified that Chinese officials don't care about these." They are all technicians who have been in China for a while, and the British are also familiar with the nature of Chinese officials. Of course, the bureaucrats of the British Empire also have ordinary styles, which makes it easier for the British to understand China.
Radell stamped his feet and said, "I didn't expect a Chinese man to find a lawyer so soon. He set off earlier than us. Well... Did Yang Rui block the news?"
"How can it be blocked? The manager of WestJet's production management was sent by Jelikon, a Hong Konger. He is sure that he was calling earlier than Yang Rui."
"But Yang Rui knows better than us what happened and how important the situation in the workshop is. Damn, can't we go in and take a look first?"
The British people who were traveling with them didn't say anything. They actually tried to enter, but after Yang Rui firmly stopped them, the domestic headquarters did not support them forcibly entering. Because the British technicians present were all very ordinary technicians.
In multinational companies like Jilikang, the headquarters research institutions are naturally running around pHD, and masters are not as good as dogs. However, in the Asia-Pacific region, Jilikang is not as rich as a technician.
In the field of coenzyme Ql0, Yang Rui has stood at the top of the world more than once or twice. Although he is not a highly valued academic field, Yang Rui's level has also been recognized by Jielikan. Every cooperation between the two parties is accumulated with real money.
In contrast, the research headquarters of Jielikan has no worth mentioning in coenzyme Ql0, let alone technicians in the Far East, their main job is to look at the technical maintenance booklet and ensure the normal operation of Jielikan's factory step by step.
The headquarters of Jelikon is very worried that even if Radell and others forcefully enter the workshop of the Westjet factory, they cannot make reasonable inferences based on their experience and knowledge.
If you want to enter the workshop to observe the situation, it is more about the spontaneous behavior of these technicians.
They also hang out in the coenzyme Ql0 industry for several years. As soon as they got news about the WestJet factory, several researchers who realized that the situation was special came quickly.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they are, they are not as fast as Yang Rui on the scene.
Yang Rui also knew better than them about the development of coenzyme Ql0.
What kind of technology and what kind of coenzyme Ql0 can be produced the worst thing to get? There are quite detailed summary in later generations.
It's like penicillin. In the 6th, there were very few companies that could produce penicillin, and there was no question of controlling the output and quality. They could only try to provide a better production environment. However, in the 8th, penicillin production became very transparent. It was necessary to spend more money to get high-quality penicillin, or take economic methods to get ordinary penicillin, or use less money to produce less stable penicillin, which was chosen by the manufacturer.
The technology adopted by Yang Rui should have put higher requirements on the factory.
The factory with low cleanliness produces variability such as coenzyme Ql0 with good quality, which is of considerable value.
In other words, what is currently happening in the Westjet factory is almost the most economical state that the second generation of plant extraction can achieve.
This state cannot be calculated using calculation methods.
Researchers, or factory technicians, often have to use long-term work and attempts to find the best ratio for factory production.
Temperature, pressure, concentration, material-liquid ratio, extraction time, and even the addition time of Bingdong ethanol will affect the final result.
Although it is possible to try orthogonal experiments in the laboratory, in the factory, analyzing environmental factors is enough for researchers to drink a pot of food.
Not every generation of technology can achieve the best ratio.
Using aircraft technology as an example, does biplane have to develop to the top before monoplane can develop? Is propeller aircraft have to develop to the top before they can develop to carry out aircraft?
Of course not.
On the contrary, many technologies are not cost-effective to develop to the peak. The most normal choice is to adopt new technologies and use medium-level new technologies to surpass high-level old technologies.
Top-level old technologies are often developed by chance, rather than forced research for a lot of money.
In Yang Rui's opinion, it is time for coincidence.
While searching for relevant technologies in his mind, he recorded all the numbers on the instrument. He even brought a camera to take pictures of all the variables he could imagine.
After doing these things, a day and a night passed. Yao Yue was busy making records. It was only a little more leisurely during the day. He looked at the red blood in Yang Rui's eyes and said, "If it really doesn't work, take a day off first and do it tomorrow."
"No, the wolves outside are waiting. If we find the reason, they will probably do things according to the contract. If we can't find it, Jelikan will find a way to come in." It's the eve of the price war between Jelikan, and this method that will obviously reduce costs, Jelikan must want to study it.
"Then don't let it be too long. I'll ask someone to make some porridge and bring it in." Yao Yue rubbed his eyes and looked at Yang Rui worriedly.
"You can't eat in the workshop..." Yang Rui looked up at the messy workshop, then looked at the hungry workers, and laughed and said, "Forget it, let them bring some food in."
The workers cheered softly, and He Haichuan, who was familiar with Yang Rui, smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yang, I thought you were not hungry."
He Haichuan was a technician in the biochemical workshop of Xibao Meat Union Factory and is now the main force of Xijie Factory. He learned a lot from Yang Rui and cooperated with Yang Rui even more. The workers of Xijie Factory could persist in not leaving for a day and night without stopping work, and all depended on He Haichuan, Ning Min, and Tian Shichang of Ruixue Group to help revive and manage.
Yang Rui sighed and said, "No one knows what the situation is, so he doesn't know how long it will last. We can't keep not adjusting the working conditions. I seemed to hear the alarm just now?"
"There is a steam pipe with too much pressure, so there is no problem now. But it really cannot be maintained for too long." The factory is not like a laboratory. Various values float within a large range, and not every value is easy to adjust. For example, the pipeline pressure. If there is too much steam, the pressure will be high, and if there is less steam, the pressure will be low. However, the amount of steam is burned by the boiler, not a button on the computer.
Thirty years later, some unattended high-automated machines in Europe and the United States were able to finely adjust the working conditions of the factory, but those were machines worth tens of millions or even billions. Not to mention that there was no such technology in the 1980s, even if there was one, Chinese companies could not afford it. For boilers, it is common for foreigners to use heavy oil and natural gas. Chinese companies could use coal, and even good coal was reluctant to use cheap goods with low calorie value to be competitive.
Although the Westjet factory was a new factory invested by the British, it was also a new factory at the Far East level in 1983. Some parameters are easy to adjust, and some difficult to adjust have begun to affect production.
"Make another set and stick to it." Yang Rui said as he went on the battle himself, helping to fill the materials and record the parameters.
He Haichuan didn't say anything and went back to make arrangements.
Fortunately, there are not many people in the WestJet factory, and there are only a dozen workers in total. Although everyone is tired and hungry, they can still persevere under one-on-one comfort.
Not long after, when the food was delivered, a new plate of coenzyme Ql0 was produced, which was still the result of rice grain size and glossiness, but the quantity was one-quarter lower.
This is a precursor to the severe deviation of the parameters from the design indicators.
Yang Rui sighed and said, "End the test, you can adjust the equipment according to the regulations."
Although there is information in his mind, he doesn’t know everything after all. Even if Yang Rui has never been exposed to some mainstream technologies when he was studying, he still needs to understand them, but if he is a little bit off, he may not understand them.
The special feature of Coenzyme Ql0 is that no chemical synthesis method has been developed, which makes the researchers of Coenzyme Ql0 constantly spin between plant extraction and microbial methods. During this period, they don’t know how many patented technologies are registered and used.
Several times in a row, Yang Rui searched for materials while researching and searching for data. Finally, he found several papers that were similar in the UU era, discussing the relationship between the temperature and concentration of materials, but it was also a pure empirical summary. He knew the principle of reverse results and could make up some things, but if there were any profound scientific principles, it was not entirely true.
However, the weaker scientific nature makes its economicality stand out.
The relationships such as temperature, concentration and pressure of the material are not constant, but change according to changes in the overall conditions during the production process. In classical terms, it is a way to move the whole body.
When the temperature changes, the concentration and pressure must also be set to a relatively special value... and how to set it, there are a series of accurate or inaccurate formulas.
Few papers will write such patent-related formulas. Just like Yang Rui publishes a paper, it will also hide a few core points to ensure his own technological leadership.
However, the technical cores of later generations are different after all. Yang Rui compared and wrote and painted by himself.
"The equipment has been adjusted." Not long after, He Haichuan came to report.
“Produce another set of products.”
"clear."
This time, the newly produced coenzyme Ql0 has undergone tremendous changes.
The crystals have become smaller, the largest one is only half the size of rice grains, and most importantly, there are obvious magazines in the crystals.
"This is a fifth-class product." He Haichuan touched his head and couldn't figure out how the instruments and equipment he adjusted according to the regulations would have undergone such a huge change.
"This is a normal product. Tian Shichang, from now on, every time you produce a group, you must record each parameter. After the production of ten groups, stop production. Wait until the clean factory is ready again." After Yang Rui said that, he walked around the workshop, greeted everyone, and went out.
At the door, Radell and Zheng Jianming were already waiting for sight.
