94: From Technological Warfare to Space Empire

Chapter 101 is tough, that's exactly what makes it tough! (Please subscribe! Please continue reading!)

"Xiao Linyu, would you be willing to teach your methodology?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

Teaching people?

He had never thought about this question.

Even before Academician Wang asked him about it today, he had never specifically studied this as a subject.

This methodology was gradually built up by him, with the help of future artificial intelligence networks and his own understanding.

Ultimately, it's all about the future knowledge system; he's just a conveyor.

But if asked—

All he could say was that even porters have their own mission.

"willing."

Lin Yu nodded.

"But we have to take it slowly; this is not easy to learn."

Hearing Lin Yu say this, Academician Wang's gaze became even more amiable.

But then he burst into laughter.

"That's right, you shouldn't be studious!"

"Can being eager to learn be considered a real skill?"

"Qian Laoge's engineering cybernetics, Yu Laoge's plasma physics and nuclear physics."

"Which one isn't incredibly difficult to learn, requiring a one-on-one approach?"

"But it's all been passed down."

"It's good that it's difficult to learn! That's exactly what makes it difficult!"

"I refuse to believe that with so many people in China, we can't learn a methodology!"

"I'll pick the best students for you. If one isn't enough, I'll have ten. If ten aren't enough, I'll have a hundred!"

Academician Wang spoke with great enthusiasm, and Chief Hou listened with amusement.

"Old Wang, are you suggesting that Xiao Lin should also become a founding master?"

Academician Wang glared at him.

"What? Kobayashi isn't good enough?"

"After Xiaolin finishes his studies and publishes a book, I'll let you keep a copy at home."

A burst of laughter erupted in the conference room.

But as they laughed, some people stopped laughing.

The commander stood up, walked up to Lin Yu, and solemnly saluted him.

Lin Yu was startled and quickly stood up.

"Commander Li! What is this?"

"Don't speak."

Chief Li interrupted him.

"This salute is for the pilots who will be able to use our own fuel in the future."

"Those extended-range missiles."

"It's also a tribute to our country's national defense and security."

After saluting, he looked into Lin Yu's eyes.

To put it bluntly.

"Even if we ignore your methodology, just take these fuels you proposed. If we could make even two or three of them, we wouldn't have to depend on others anymore."

"But for that alone, you deserve a thousand, ten thousand salutes."

"I was indignant when that blockhead Daniel said that Qian Lao was worth five American divisions."

"Back then, when I was studying Qian's academic work, I thought to myself, how could five American divisions possibly be comparable to Qian's?"

'

"Now I know I'll never reach that level of academic achievement."

"But I hope you can continue to study hard."

After Chief Li finished speaking, he pounded his chest with his fist and then stretched out his arm to bump fists with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu accepted the fist bump somewhat awkwardly.

If it were just ordinary praise, he would accept it without question, but compared to those people... what merit does he have?

If it's just about fuel, it doesn't deserve such high praise at all.

Theories like engineering cybernetics are truly the most important instruments for a great power.

He still has a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to fulfill.

But he accepted the fist bump and then patted his chest.

"I will, I will keep working hard."

This caused Chief Li to burst into laughter again.

He happily bumped fists with Lin Yu repeatedly.

Finally, it was Chief Hou who interrupted this almost endless fist-bumping.

"Alright, alright, stop standing there and sit down to talk business."

Everyone sat down again, but the atmosphere was completely different.

I initially came to discuss technical solutions, but now I've not only acquired a whole host of technologies, but I've also witnessed the beginning of an entire academic and future era.

After everyone calmed down.

They started whispering to each other again.

We are preparing to put the plan from theory into practice.

Chief Li tapped on the table.

"Let's get down to business now; we can discuss the theoretical issues later."

"How exactly do you work on this furanyl bicycloalkanes? When will you get them?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and then opened his notebook.

"It will probably take three stages."

"The first stage is laboratory verification. With the guidance of the entire theory, we can probably get HMF working within about a month."

The entire process from furanyl bicycloalkanes.

"Anyway, the lab can't process too many samples; it's only in the kilogram range."

"The second stage involves pilot-scale production and amplification."

"I reckon it'll take at least three or four months, right?"

"However, this time we will build a pilot production line with an annual output of 100 tons."

"Once we've verified the continuous stability and economic viability of the process, we can move on to the next step."

"The third phase of industrial production is estimated to take 6 to 8 months."

"If all the previous tests are successful, things will be much easier. We just need to train a group of experienced workers and leaders and scale up the existing industrial processes."

"By building production lines with capacities of thousands or even tens of thousands of tons, we can supply the military in large quantities."

After saying this, Lin Yu closed his notebook.

"If all goes well, we'll be able to use our own produced furanyl bicycloalkanes by this time next year."

After listening, Chief Li nodded with great satisfaction.

If industrial production can be achieved within a year, then it will be available very soon.

"Only one year?"

Lin Yu nodded in confirmation.

"One year."

"Not five years, not ten years, is it one year?"

Lin Yu nodded again, somewhat helplessly.

"It's just one year."

Commander Li slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Great, that's wonderful!"

"What conditions do you need? Money, people, equipment, just tell me."

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

He was silently making plans in his mind.

"As for the cost, the first phase of laboratory verification is estimated to be around 50 yuan."

"The main issue is buying equipment and reagents, and we also need to build a dedicated HMF extraction line."

Hearing this, everyone found it hard to believe.

It's not because there's too much money, but because there's too little.

"50 million?"

"So little?"

Lin Yu smiled; after all, it was just laboratory production.

It seems that although he talked about so many theories, it didn't work.

However, people still haven't quite grasped the time required for the development of organic chemistry.

Once a definite reaction equation and a clear path are established.

I won't spend too much money.

The cost of trial and error has been reduced to an extremely low level.

"This is just the laboratory stage. The second stage, pilot production, will require 500 million, and the third stage, industrialization, will require 300 million to 5000 million."

Hearing this, Chief Li felt as if he had returned to a familiar place.

He waved his hand dismissively.

"These are not problems; the Equipment Department has dedicated research funding."

"It's specifically designed to support these kinds of cutting-edge technologies."

"As long as you can make it, money is not a problem at all."

"Where is that person?"

Lin Yu pressed for more details.

"I need a dedicated team for chemical catalysis separation analysis; each area requires specialized talent."

Chief Li looked at Academician Wang, and the other members of the Sinopec research team brought by Chief Engineer Chen.
