264: Laboratory products cannot be put into practice

Guo Hao didn't process the data for long.

General Wang also came to the computer room.

After standing beside Guo Hao for a while, Guo Hao finally noticed someone standing next to him. He looked up and saw General Wang.

"General Wang? When did you come over?"

Guo Hao asked General Wang with some surprise.

"Just now."

General Wang chuckled awkwardly for a moment, then hesitated slightly before speaking to Guo Hao in front of him.

"About... what Academician Hua said, don't take it to heart. Academician Hua is just like that, he... is a bit old-fashioned and relies on his seniority, but Academician Hua isn't a bad person, just a bit rigid."

"Don't worry, as long as he doesn't provoke me, I won't do anything."

Guo Hao smiled and looked at General Wang in front of him.

"Worst case scenario, I'll only work with Academician Liu from now on. After all, Academician Liu and I became friends through our disagreements, we can be considered friends now! As for Academician Hua... you can just keep an eye on him!"

"Okay!"

General Wang nodded.

"That's what I meant too."

General Wang comforted Guo Hao with a few more words, then inquired about the progress and whether Guo Hao had encountered any problems before leaving the computer room.

Guo Hao continued to process the massive amount of data.

Over the next few days.

Everyone still ate together, and Academician Hua always had a cold face, ignoring Guo Hao next to him.

Guo Hao, on the other hand, had a smile on his face and chatted and laughed with Academician Liu and General Wang during meals.

As for Academician Hua, Guo Hao didn't even spare him a glance out of the corner of his eye, completely ignoring Academician Hua, which made Academician Hua even more resentful.

Who was he?

A dignified Academician!

To be ignored like this, for Academician Hua, it felt like he had a belly full of suppressed anger.

However, Academician Hua wasn't stupid. At this time, targeting Guo Hao was meaningless.

Academician Liu wouldn't help him, and General Wang certainly wouldn't.

After all, although he suspected Guo Hao of academic fraud, he didn't have any evidence, did he?

Therefore, Academician Hua could only suppress the unpleasantness in his heart.

Five days later.

Guo Hao had dark circles under his eyes.

"The data processing is finished."

He said to General Wang and Academician Liu who were beside him.

"Really? Then did you find the problem?"

Academician Liu on the side hadn't had time to speak, but General Wang, with excitement in his eyes, asked Guo Hao.

"You must be boasting! The total data volume is 96 terabytes, and we did so many experiments, including industrial production data. You finished it in five days???"

Academician Hua beside him frowned and looked at Guo Hao as he spoke.

Guo Hao directly ignored Academician Hua and spoke directly to Academician Liu and General Wang beside him.

"Actually, your initial idea wasn't wrong. After I finished looking through all the data yesterday, I did a simple Mathematical modeling of the catalyst you are researching."

Guo Hao looked seriously at Academician Liu and General Wang beside him and said.

Academician Liu and General Wang both had serious expressions. They had both witnessed Guo Hao's impressive abilities in the field of Mathematics, or rather, in the field of Computational Materials Science.

Their trust in Guo Hao was self-evident.

And Academician Hua on the side had eyes full of disdain.

Although he admitted that Guo Hao was a genius, even a genius had limits.

How did Guo Hao manage to finish reading that massive amount of data in five days? Furthermore, even if he somehow managed to finish reading the data, he actually had time to perform Mathematical modeling on the catalyst?

This was already beyond the scope of a genius!

Although Academician Hua felt that Guo Hao was boasting, at this moment, he didn't step forward to question anything.

"The modeling I did last night found that this catalyst itself is limited. During the processing of materials exceeding five kilograms, the catalyst itself will decay."

"Yes!"

Hearing Guo Hao's words, Academician Liu revealed a bitter smile in his eyes.

"We also tried many methods, but found that none of them were meaningful. No matter what we did, this catalyst would decay. Five kilograms of Titanium-Aluminum Alloy seems to be the limit for this catalyst.

We tried increasing the amount of catalyst, or modifying the catalyst formula, and even introducing other metal materials, but the effects were very poor."

"Then why didn't you consider producing individual molds with a three-kilogram Titanium-Aluminum Alloy ingot each?"

Guo Hao asked Academician Liu curiously.

"We tried..."

Academician Liu hadn't spoken yet, but at this moment, General Wang on the side looked at Guo Hao with a bitter smile.

"A few days ago when you just arrived, what you saw at the factory was our last trial production of Titanium-Aluminum Alloy."

"We also produced it little by little, just as you thought, but... it didn't work."

General Wang sighed.

"This catalyst has an extremely poor effect in our high-temperature furnace. Even if we changed many different processes, it was still very poor.

Unless it's like in the Laboratory, doing small-scale production, the effect is okay, but... we need to build planes! A plane needs at least twenty tons of Titanium-Aluminum Alloy.

If we can't mass-produce it, then it's meaningless, and we still have to switch."

Hearing General Wang's words, Guo Hao's brows furrowed tightly.

This was a bit troublesome.

According to General Wang and Academician Liu, this catalyst was only suitable for use in the Laboratory and couldn't be used for large-scale production.

"Then why, after you developed this Titanium-Aluminum Alloy, didn't you first try mass production before making plans for the next step?"

Guo Hao frowned and looked at General Wang as he spoke.

Academician Liu showed an awkward expression on his face.

"At the time... after this Titanium-Aluminum Alloy was developed, its performance was simply too excellent. We felt at the time that we could directly rely on it for the next step of research and development.

Nobody expected that transitioning from Laboratory development to production would encounter such a big problem..."

Actually, it was quite normal. Even in the military industry, at the forefront of the Laboratory, the most that is considered is the data from the Laboratory, and relying on Laboratory data for the next step of research.

It's normal to encounter various problems during implementation, but most of the problems are actually relatively easy to solve, merely requiring some time to modify the process or equipment.

Extreme situations like this, where mass production is directly impossible, are relatively rare.

Especially in the preparation of this kind of metal material, there is usually always a chance to solve it.

It's just that nobody expected...

Guo Hao roughly understood.

"Understood."

This kind of thing couldn't be blamed on Academician Liu and the others. After all, nobody could have predicted this kind of thing. Who knew that a problem with metal materials would appear in the catalyst?
