The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

After the PY transaction ended, Yan Yongnian's two favorite students were "assigned" to Chang Haonan.

Of course, starting in 1996, the graduate package allocation system gradually began to be cancelled. Even before that, more and more college graduates chose to skip the allocation and work on their own because they were not satisfied with the treatment or location of the assigned job. Contact your workplace.

After all, it is not more than twenty years later.

In the 90s, graduate students and even undergraduate students were still relatively popular in the job market.

But the situation on Chang Haonan's side is obviously different.

Whether it is Torch Group or the school-enterprise joint laboratory jointly established with Beijing Airlines, they all have a bright future.

Especially those two people have done projects with Chang Haonan, so they can basically integrate seamlessly.

It's a pity that Yan Yongnian's choice of successor may have to be postponed again.

"By the way, Mr. Chang, there is one more thing I almost forgot."

The two of them had already left the workshop. Yan Yongnian took off the safety helmet on his head and said:

"Last month, when the comrades from the Northern Vehicle Research Institute came to hand over the project to us, they said they couldn't contact you, so they gave me a souvenir and asked me to pass it on to you."

"The comrades from the Northern Institute have completely withdrawn from the project team?"

Chang Haonan also took off his helmet and work clothes, hung them in the closet grid with his name on them, and put on his coat again:

"No wonder I didn't see Lin Qingsong and the others when I came here this time."

When the die forging press project was first established, because there was no money, and more importantly, there were no staff members, so under the arrangement of Ding Gaoheng, it was conducted under the Northern Vehicle Research Institute in Huaishuling for research.

Borrowing it by the way, of course it can be said that it has trained a group of technicians in the weapons industry system.

Lin Qingsong is one of them.

Originally, Chang Haonan was planning to promote him to the project leadership team, but the other party considered that while participating in the die forging press project, he would also be responsible for the unit's heavy equipment research and development, so he did not agree.

Later, with the establishment of the Equipment Industry Department, the die forging press R&D team, including the entire Jiangcheng Heavy Machine Tool Factory, had its own company, so naturally there was no need to borrow money from others.

"Well, most of the main forces in the weapons industry have been transferred to Tongzhou to support the 9910 project, so only a few comrades in charge of materials and files are left here to finish the work."

Yan Yongnian and Chang Haonan walked towards the living area on the other side of the factory:

"When I came here last time, Mr. Zhu over there said that he would send a special thank you letter to our project team..."

"Hey...it's all a false name..."

Chang Haonan waved his hands, looking casual.

But then the conversation changed:

"Speak of it, Professor Yan."

"If everything goes well, our die forging press will be officially delivered by early next year. What are your plans after that?"

Yan Yongnian was stunned after hearing this, and almost dropped his left foot and his right foot:

"Are you trying to poach me too?"

In fact, Chang Haonan did not have this idea.

It was just a casual question to avoid the cold shoulder.

And judging from the other party's tone, he probably wouldn't really choose to leave Qinghua University.

But since others have said so, it would be a bit uncomfortable for him to clarify that he didn't mean it.

"If Professor Yan is willing, then I will naturally welcome it. It just so happens that the laboratory still lacks an experienced veteran..."

Sure enough, just like what Chang Haonan had just guessed, Yan Yongnian waved his hand:

"If I were 20 years younger, I might actually be able to agree."

"But now... I was already planning to retire. After I finish working on the die forging press, I will train a group of new disciples and it's time to give up my position to the young people..."

Yan Yongnian is not young, but he did not hold a teaching position in the first half of his career, so the number of students he has is much smaller than that of professors of the same age and level.

However, the training cycle for a doctorate is at least 4-5 years. If you plan to retire, you will basically plan in advance like Du Yishan -

After Chang Haonan, the latter has not accepted any new doctoral students.

Firstly, I am afraid that the gap between the brothers is too big, and secondly, I will not be able to teach the whole class.

"Professor Yan's closed disciples haven't been admitted yet?"

Chang Haonan asked as he followed the other party up the steps of the dormitory building.

After Yan Yongnian heard Chang Haonan's question, he was shocked. He turned his head and looked at Chang Haonan with an expression of "Is it appropriate for you to ask this question?"

The latter thought for a long time, touched his chin awkwardly, and at the same time shifted his gaze with a guilty conscience...

It seems that there is indeed someone who packed up and took away the closed disciples that he had trained half an hour ago...

Fortunately, the two of them also walked to Yan Yongnian's dormitory at this time.

The latter opened the door, took out something covered by a glass cover from a tin cabinet in the living room and handed it to Chang Haonan.

It's a tank model.

"Third generation main battle tank prototype"

Chang Haonan is naturally familiar with this thing.

In principle, both 99 and 96 tank prototypes can be called this.

However, it is still easy to distinguish the specific model from the iconic trapezoidal main armor and the grille at the rear of the turret, as well as the design where the driver is located directly under the barrel.

Even though he has spent his whole life studying aircraft, how could a man not like strong armor and sharp cannons?

It’s hard not to have heard of the 50 prototype that participated in the 9910th anniversary of the National Day military parade.

For a long time at the beginning of the new century, it was also incorrectly called the "Type 98" main battle tank.

Right below the model, there is a nameplate attached.

"First Machinery Manufacturing Factory"

Obviously, this is not the kind of cultural and creative product jointly launched by a research institution and a model manufacturer, but one made by the first machine factory responsible for producing the 99 main battle tank.

The workmanship is not considered to be excellent, mainly because the carrying capacity is relatively large.

Moreover, precisely because the workmanship is not excellent, it is not confidential.

"The forest engineer told me at the time that thanks to the period of experience in our project team, they were able to come up with a brand new chassis that met the design specifications of the army in time. Otherwise... I'm afraid... I'm afraid they would have to use an engineering prototype vehicle with an intermediate technical status for the military parade. That’s it…”

Yan Yongnian said and pointed to the model in Chang Haonan's hand.

After being reminded like this, the latter discovered that the chassis of this model was indeed thick and uncoordinated compared to the turret.

When I first looked at it, I thought it was simply because the workmanship was too rough, so I didn’t pay attention.

But upon closer inspection, I found that this chassis even has the flavor of the 99A chassis after major changes.

It seems that at least at the overall design level, it is achieved in one step.

But judging from the shape of the power compartment and turret, it still uses a 1200-horsepower engine and an early model 125mm smoothbore gun.

There is a high probability that it will not be a mass-produced model, and it can still only be called the 9910 engineering prototype.

But compared to the original timeline, the distance to the final technical state is much closer.

Yan Yongnian watched Chang Haonan turn it over and over to study the model in his hand. He could understand the man's little hobby, so he didn't speak again until the latter raised his head again:

"Speaking of Mr. Chang, with your current influence on the Science and Technology Commission, you should be invited to attend this year's military parade, right?"

Chang Haonan was quite sure about this, otherwise he wouldn't have directly invited his parents over during the Chinese New Year party.

But it’s hard to speak too fully in front of outsiders:

"I haven't received accurate news yet, but I heard that the Science and Technology Commission will invite scientific researchers and worker representatives from the military industry..."

"That...Mr. Chang."

Upon hearing this answer, Yan Yongnian immediately rubbed his hands:

"Although our heavy-duty die forging press cannot be directly regarded as military equipment, it can produce a lot of military equipment...and whether it was first attached to the Northern Research Institute or the current Equipment Industry Department, it is also a project under the Committee of Science and Technology …”

There was a rare hint of flattery in his expression:

"So you see... can I also be considered a scientific researcher in the military industry..."
