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

On the morning of Chang Haonan's return to the capital, Jiang Zhong arranged a small ceremony.

Certainly not a farewell ceremony.

Although the die forging press itself will most likely not have any problems, Chang Haonan will inevitably come to deal with them again when he takes over major projects.

What's more, Jiang Zhong is now a company managed by the Equipment Industry Department. Everyone is considered a family and there is nothing to give away.

It was the unveiling ceremony of the bust of Academician Shen Hong that Chang Haonan and Yan Yongnian had mentioned before.

Compared with common bronze or stone statues, the body of this sculpture called "Cast" is made of titanium-aluminum alloy, and the metal used is re-cast from scraps in the production of No. 0 workpieces.

The bust stands on a marble base about a person's height carved in the shape of a forging press, facing the direction of the production hall.

The front of the base is engraved with Academician Shen Hong's name, year of birth and death, and major life events.

As the countdown by the host of the ceremony ended, Chang Haonan and Yan Yongnian, one on the left and one on the right, personally unveiled the red cloth covering it.

"Although Academician Shen was not able to see the day when the heavy-duty forging press was put into production, this can be regarded as settling a worry for his old man."

Amid the waves of warm applause, Chang Haonan, standing in the middle of the podium, said to Yan Yongnian next to him.

"Anyway, we from the old Ministry of Machinery Industry still have to thank you for this matter."

Yan Yongnian never took his eyes away from the statue:

"Without this project, I'm afraid not only Academician Shen, but also some of us would have regretted it for the rest of our lives..."

"Heavy-duty hydraulic presses are indispensable equipment for the production of large forgings. With the development of our country's industrial capabilities and national economy, the demand in this area will emerge sooner or later."

Chang Haonan put down his palm, which was already a little red:

"I just followed the trend of the times in advance. Although I did do some work, the implementation of the entire project cannot be regarded as my personal credit."

"The Science and Technology Commission, the Equipment Industry Department, and the old Ministry of Machinery Industry all played a certain role in it. This is our collective victory!"

Yan Yongnian opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just raised his head slightly and blinked.

"By the way, Mr. Chang."

After a while, Yan Yongnian finally recovered whether he was feeling emotional or sad:

"Do you need me to prepare another project progress report for you?"

"Ok?"

Chang Haonan was stunned and had no idea what he meant:

"What would I do with two copies of this?"

Yan Yongnian was also stunned:

"Of course it will be part of the presentation of results during your graduation defense... If I remember correctly, you should be graduating with a Ph.D. soon, right?"

When he said this, he felt a little outrageous.

But if I think about it carefully, I don’t quite understand what is the difference between a person who has already graduated with a PhD at the age of 24, and a person who has clearly taken the lead in completing several major national projects but has not yet graduated with a PhD. Even more outrageous...

"what……"

Chang Haonan suddenly realized:

"Is this..."

He thought for a moment and finally shook his head:

"Forget it, this one is too thick. The review team will probably have to look at it for a whole day to finish it... I just graduated with a Ph.D., I can just pick something out of it."

"..."

Although Yan Yongnian has obtained his doctorate many years ago, as a professor, he still has to participate in student defense work every year. When I heard Chang Haonan's answer, I didn't know how to proceed...

But if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Just what Chang Haonan has done in the past two years, if broken down, would be enough for dozens of Ph.D. graduates.

It's really just a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Yan Yongnian suddenly became curious:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Chang, what is the topic of your PhD graduation?"

After all, the fields the other party covers are too broad.

From fluid mechanics to structural mechanics, to surface physics, control theory, electronic information engineering, materials science...

All of them have left traces of praise.

I just don’t know which field is so lucky to be chosen as the research direction for Mr. Chang’s doctoral graduation.

"Hmm... "Space-time separation method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations"."

For a doctoral thesis, the title is even a bit brief.

However, when it comes to essays, the smaller the number of words, the bigger the problem.

"This should be considered... a paper in the field of applied mathematics?"

When Yan Yongnian just asked the question, he had already thought of many possibilities.

But I didn't expect it to be like this.

After all, fluid mechanics and control theory can always be directly connected with aircraft design.

But applied mathematics…

The relationship is always more distant.

In fact, if you put it aside 20 years later, it is normal that there is no relationship between the professional name and the content of the research.

However, at the turn of the century, the interdisciplinary research model had not yet emerged. Therefore, as a Ph.D. in aircraft design, Chang Haonan wrote a mathematics paper as the content of his graduation defense, which is indeed a bit shocking.

If nothing else, writing this kind of paper should at least be awarded the title of Doctor of Science.

“The calculation example part will also involve some application-level content, but in general it is closer to mathematics.”

Chang Haonan just nodded as usual:

"Doctorate only means that a person has the ability to provide original theories or application results, but it does not mean that it must be completely related to the major."

"Furthermore, this algorithm theory was gradually improved by me in the process of researching and optimizing the TORC Multiphysics software. Now almost the entire Chinese aviation industry system is using this software to do numerical simulations of aerodynamics and structural mechanics. I have to say If so, there is still some relationship..."

Yan Yongnian took a deep breath, then nodded slowly:

"To be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to it."

"After passing the defense, I will definitely read your article if I have the opportunity."

However, Chang Haonan smiled and shook his head:

"My defense and thesis will definitely not be made public immediately, including scientific research results, which are also given in the form of national defense reports and cannot be seen outside..."

"It really is……"

……

That afternoon, Chang Haonan finally ended his more than one-month mission in Jiangcheng and rushed back to the capital with a series of results.

Although Chang Haonan's graduation defense was held separately, in order to make up for the degree awarding time, it was still scheduled for early June like others. Therefore, after returning to the capital, his first thing was not to go back to school, but to submit the project A progress report was submitted to the Science and Technology Commission.

"I have read the report on the day the chief went to Jiangtang for inspection. He spoke very highly of you, or in other words, of you."

Ding Gaoheng sat behind his desk, leisurely flipping through the report page by page, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Although there is no direct call to learn from you personally, that statement is actually pretty close."

"It's a good thing they didn't push me out."

Chang Haonan is now at home in Ding Gaoheng's office, minding his own business and sitting on the sofa next to him:

"I have a lot of hats on my head now. After graduation, I will also hold a teaching position. Paying less attention to things that have nothing to do with business will help me save more energy."

“It’s good to have this mentality.”

Ding Gaoheng's hand turned the pages gradually faster.

In fact, the content of the report has already been reviewed by an expert group in Jiangcheng. Today is just a formality, asking Chang Haonan, the project leader, and Ding Gaoheng, the top leader of the Science and Technology Commission, to sign it and keep it in the file.

Therefore, it didn't take long for him to sign his name directly next to Chang Haonan's signature on the last page.

It was also at this moment that Chang Haonan, who was resting on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly felt a heat wave surge in his brain, like a CPU that suddenly started working at high frequency.

Fortunately, this feeling was fleeting, otherwise he would even doubt whether he needed additional physical means to cool down...

After everything returned to normal, the system panel that he had not seen for a long time reappeared in his mind:

[Research points: 9000

Theoretical level: LV3 (20000/100000)

Engineering experience: LV3 (50000/100000)

Management ability: LV3 (75000/100000)

Comprehensive ability: LV3

Projects in progress: 1

Projects that can be carried out: 3]

Obviously, in the system's judgment, at this step, the entire die forging press project is considered completed.

Maybe it's because Chang Haonan's ideas were relatively rough when setting up the project, and the automatic error compensation algorithm that required long-term verification was only added later.

The result was a hit and miss, saving several years of waiting.

The completion of such an influential project will naturally give a huge amount of three experiences.

Therefore, the system was upgraded to level 3.

According to the last upgrade of the system from level 1 to level 2, the most obvious benefit of upgrading the system to level is the addition of another project that can be carried out in parallel.

However, the number of parallel tasks from 1 to 2 is a qualitative change, but from 2 to 3 it is not so important.

After all, even if there is a system, it is unlikely that Chang Haonan can really take care of three highly complex projects at the same time.

The body cannot bear it.

What's more important is that after leveling up, the upper limit of his personal abilities will increase——

This means that many projects that were just ideas but could not be implemented in the past are likely to have a chance to be implemented.
