Chapter 38 Everyone is convinced
There was a silence in the conference room for about three seconds, followed by a rustling sound.
People were whispering to each other.
Someone is tapping the table with a pen cap.
Some people didn't say a word, but their expressions were full of dissatisfaction.
Ma Wenbin sat by the window, his lips pursed downwards, and he kept unscrewing and screwing on the pen in his hand.
The other senior research assistant sitting next to him, surnamed Sun, had been in the institute for five or six years, and his complexion wasn't very good either.
"Is there a problem?"
Professor Zheng scanned the area.
No one said a word.
No one has dared to openly oppose Professor Zheng's decision yet.
But that doesn't mean they're convinced.
Chen Weiguo glanced at it out of the corner of his eye, but he knew exactly what was going on.
You're not convinced, are you?
normal.
He wouldn't accept it either.
A student from a vocational high school continuing education program was parachuted into the position of head of the sub-project just a few days after joining the institute.
Sitting below him were a group of master's degree holders and senior research assistants, whose academic qualifications were higher and whose experience was more extensive than his.
Who would be happy to have these people working for him?
But he doesn't care.
These days, it's not about seniority, it's about ability.
If you can do it, then do it; if you can't, then don't get in the way.
……
The first group meeting was scheduled for the morning of the following day.
There were nearly ten people in the conference room, all of whom were from the field of thermal deformation compensators.
Professor Zheng also came, but he sat in the corner with his notebook open in front of him, clearly just observing and not interfering.
Chen Weiguo stood in front of the whiteboard, holding a piece of chalk in his hand.
This feeling is somewhat similar to the day of my thesis defense.
But they are different.
The defense is where others test him; today he's here to be assigned tasks.
"I've broken down the thermal deformation compensation approach into four modules."
Chen Weiguo turned around and wrote on the blackboard.
"The first module is the verification of basic theory. We need to conduct a round of simulation verification on the thermal network model from the previous technical memo. The boundary conditions need to be re-checked, and the model accuracy needs to reach more than 95%. Lao Xu, you are in charge of this part."
Xu Zhenbang nodded.
He has a master's degree from Tsinghua University and has worked in the institute for almost ten years, making him more than capable of verifying basic theories.
"The second module is material thermal property testing. Our thermal compensation scheme relies on high-precision material thermal parameters, such as the coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity. These three data must be measured in practice, not the standard values in the manual. Mr. Sun, you will take the lead on this part."
Old Sun was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect Chen Weiguo to entrust him with the responsibility of a complete module.
He didn't say anything, but his expression was noticeably more relaxed than yesterday.
"The third module is the design of the compensation mechanism. Thermal compensation ultimately comes down to the mechanical structure. We need to design a mechanism that can perform thermal displacement compensation at the micrometer level. I will lead this part myself."
Chen Weiguo paused for a moment, then added, "The people who will cooperate are Ma Wenbin and Zhou Mengxue."
Ma Wenbin paused for a moment while twisting the pen.
Zhou Mengxue raised her head, her eyes shining.
"The fourth module is system integration and testing. After the first three modules are completed, we'll integrate everything onto a single testing machine for integration and testing. I'll coordinate this, and everyone will be involved. Any questions?"
There was a few seconds of silence in the conference room.
Old Sun spoke first: "No problem."
Xu Zhenbang nodded as well.
Ma Wenbin remained silent, but he didn't say anything either.
Zhou Mengxue quickly jotted down notes in her notebook; she had already memorized all the content from the four modules.
Professor Zheng sat in the corner without saying a word, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
After the meeting, when Chen Weiguo was packing up his things, he saw that Lao Sun left the conference room but didn't return to his workstation. Instead, he turned a corner and headed towards Professor Zheng's office.
He knew what was going on.
They went to complain.
He'd seen this kind of thing many times before.
Back in the factory, weren't those people in the technical department just like that?
Instead of saying anything to their face, they went to complain to their superiors behind their backs.
But he wasn't worried at all.
Because he knew how Professor Zheng would answer.
really.
Old Sun entered Professor Zheng's office. The door wasn't closed properly, and voices could be faintly heard in the corridor.
"Professor Zheng, to be honest with you, Chen Weiguo is indeed a very capable young man. His technical memorandum is well-written, and his defense is also excellent. But is it a bit too hasty to let him lead a sub-directory? After all, he is still relatively inexperienced, having only been with the institute for a few days... Several senior colleagues have their own thoughts on this, but they are too embarrassed to say it to his face."
Professor Zheng's voice was very calm.
"Take a look at the memos he wrote."
Old Sun was stunned for a moment.
"Is there any clause that you can point out is incorrect?"
Old Sun didn't respond.
"If there's one thing wrong, he won't take the lead. Can you point it out?"
Old Sun's face turned bright red. As he came out of Professor Zheng's office, he ran into Chen Weiguo.
Old Sun coughed, lowered his head, and walked away quickly.
Chen Weiguo watched his retreating figure, his mind blank.
Just as he had predicted.
Can't point it out?
If you can't point it out, just do your job honestly.
After the research group started operating, the progress was much faster than expected.
Xu Zhenbang's simulation verification yielded the first round of results in just five days, with the model accuracy reaching 96.3%, exceeding Chen Weiguo's target of 95%.
Old Sun's material thermal property testing has also started. He and two young researchers spend every day in the lab, measuring three sets of data on the coefficient of expansion, and have begun repeatability verification.
Chen Weiguo's own compensation agency design team made progress even faster.
Although Ma Wenbin didn't say anything, he still worked very hard.
After all, Professor Zheng's words had already spread throughout the entire research group.
—If you point out which point is wrong, he won't take the lead.
Nobody can point it out.
Then we can only accept it.
Zhou Mengxue performed even better than Chen Weiguo had expected.
He assigned her the task of calculating thermal displacement, which involved a bunch of partial differential equations and numerical solutions.
To be honest, he was prepared to tutor her.
As a result, Zhou Mengxue's calculation manuscript was neat and tidy from beginning to end, with no step of the derivation process omitted, and the error of the numerical solution was controlled within three per thousand.
"Did you make this yourself?"
Chen Weiguo flipped through the manuscript and asked a question.
"Yes. There were a few things I wasn't sure about, so I asked Mr. X."
Zhou Mengxue's voice wasn't loud, but her gaze was steady.
Chen Weiguo returned the manuscript to her.
"Okay. The next step is to work on the tolerance allocation for the compensation agency. First, you need to thoroughly understand the tolerance system in the original Swiss documentation. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me."
Zhou Mengxue nodded vigorously.
In the second week of the research group's operation, Chen Weiguo discovered something new.
No, to be precise, the system helped him discover something new.
In the material thermal property testing section, Chen Weiguo designed a small, high-precision temperature control module to provide a stable temperature environment for the test samples.
This thing was originally just an auxiliary tool.
The test samples need to have their thermal parameters measured at different temperatures. Commercially available temperature controllers are not accurate enough, and the circuits built in the lab are too crude. If the temperature fluctuates too much, the measured thermal parameters become unusable.
So he casually used the system to create a temperature control module.
