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

At the end of the report, there was naturally a question and answer session.

but……

There is nothing to ask.

At least that's the case with the content of the paper.

As for the project...

Yuan Xiangya didn't understand it at all.

The other three people also had nothing to ask.

Du Yishan has left the front line. Liu Zhenxiang's understanding of the situation at the aviation development side is similar to that of Chang Haonan. After returning to China, Mr. Qian is mainly responsible for aerospace and missiles, which is not business-related.

However, the defense record needs to be kept together with the thesis. If the question and answer session is completely empty, it will not look good.

Therefore, in the end it was Yuan Xiangya who asked the universal question:

"It can be seen that your research has achieved fruitful results, and I think you will continue to pursue the path of scientific research in the future. So can you tell me more specifically about the next research direction?"

In fact, generally speaking, serious thesis defenses will include a "research prospects" section at the end.

But because Chang Haonan turned the second half of the content directly into a project report, and the report was on three projects that had little connection with each other, so this section was skipped.

"Next step... I plan to study the application of inertial manifolds in dissipative partial differential equations, which naturally also includes NS equations, and, if possible, I can rigorously prove its existence from a mathematical perspective..."

"..."

Chang Haonan repeated what he had said to Ding Gaoheng before.

One good thing about engineering is that as long as I find a theorem to be true through experience, I can continue to use it.

Even if it is falsified in the future, you can add a correction and continue to use it.

But if you want to make a breakthrough at the theoretical level, you cannot stay at the level of "I am thinking and establishing".

Fortunately, these two things can be advanced at the same time without interfering with each other.

Yuan Xiangya originally just asked a random question to fill in the questions. After getting the answer, he just nodded and said no more.

Not even necessarily taking it seriously——

Research and prospecting are basically just for fun.

As long as it is theoretically possible, it can be considered reasonable.

In the past student defenses, Yuan Xiangya often even saw people writing in their prospects that they hoped to prove Goldbach's conjecture or Fermat's last theorem.

After confirming that the defense secretary had completed the recording, Mr. Qian, the chairman of the defense committee, announced that the next step would be to enter the expert review phase, which required Chang Haonan himself to recuse himself.

In fact, by this time, any doctoral student, let alone Chang Haonan, must be stable.

If there was really a problem, we wouldn't be able to get to this point.

……

Chang Haonan only waited in the corridor for about five minutes before he saw the door being opened a crack.

The defense secretary poked his head out and signaled that he could go in.

At the conference table, the five members of the review committee were sitting upright, and even Du Yishan, who had been smiling just now, tensed up.

Reading out the review results, even if there is no suspense, is still a serious matter after all.

After all, although the organizational form is relatively casual, the decision of the review committee is actually legally binding.

After seeing Chang Haonan walk through the door, Mr. Qian stood up with some difficulty, holding the handrail with one hand.

Liu Zhenxiang and Du Yishan who were next to him quickly gave him a hand.

Chang Haonan also quickly returned to stand in front of his seat, putting on a solemn expression.

Qian Lao's voice was slow but firm:

"The student conducted his graduation project on the topic of 'Space-time separation method for solving nonlinear partial differential equations'. He is able to skillfully apply the theories and professional knowledge he has learned, and his innovation and workload meet the requirements for doctoral training... He shows strong independence Working ability, the designed TORCH Multiphysics software has been verified and has extremely high application and commercial value..."

"The content plan of the paper is correct, the analysis is reasonable and sufficient, the layers are clear, the text and sentences are smooth, the format is standardized, the thinking is clear and the expression is fluent during the defense process, and can correctly answer all the questions raised by the defense committee. The defense committee believes that the student has a Ph.D. level, unanimously agreed to pass the student’s graduation thesis defense, and recommended that the student be awarded a doctorate in engineering!”

Although Chang Haonan knew in his heart that he would definitely pass the defense, he still breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the decision to award the degree.

It's not that I was nervous or surprised.

The main thing is that there is a sense of smoothness that "one thing has finally settled."

And, he also understood a little bit why Mr. Qian should be appointed as the chairman of the defense committee——

Although Du Yishan said before that the other party requested it, the fact that Mr. Qian knew about it meant that someone must have specifically mentioned the matter that he was about to defend.

If it were another person, it would be really difficult to pronounce the sentence "unanimously approved of the student's graduation thesis defense"...

"Dr. Chang, congratulations."

Mr. Qian handed Chang Haonan the decision letter signed by all members of the defense committee, and then took the initiative to extend his hand to the latter.

"Thank you again, Mr. Qian."

Their hands were clasped together.

Although Chang Haonan has been called Chang Bo since he started studying for a Ph.D., strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a joke or a compliment.

And after today, this title will become real.

"No need to thank me."

Qian Lao replied cheerfully:

"A doctorate degree is well-deserved for you!"

"Come and take a photo together. Today is a day worth remembering."

Liu Zhenxiang lowered his head and took out a point-and-shoot camera from nowhere. He was obviously prepared.

The defense secretary who had been sitting next to him quickly took the camera into his hand and walked to the other side of the room to take pictures.

"You come over and join us. The defense is over. If you want to take a photo, you can ask the outside staff to come over."

Du Yishan turned off the projector and waved to the defense secretary who was holding up the camera to take pictures.

"what?"

The latter raised his head and looked at the people here with eyes that were confused at first, then shocked, and finally turned into ecstasy:

"I...really went there?"

His tone was obviously flattered——

The defense secretary is actually not a secretary, but a record-keeping member of the committee who also holds the title of professor.

However, in today's situation, a professor title is indeed not enough.

Normally, it would be considered a blessing to be able to take a photo with any of the people in front of me, let alone six of them at the same time.

The seven of us were killing each other in the Chinese academic world.jpg

"You are also a member of the defense committee, why can't you come?"

In the end, it was Mr. Qian who made the decision and invited the staff who came with him from outside.

In this way, the number of people taking part in the group photo became 7.

Mr. Qian patted Chang Haonan on the shoulder and motioned for the two of them to change the order:

"Today is your degree conferring ceremony. You are the protagonist. According to the rules, you have to stand in the middle."

Chang Haonan knew that Mr. Qian's legs and feet were not very good and he could not stand for a long time, so he was not suitable to get too entangled in such minutiae, so he followed the other party's wishes and moved to the middle position among the seven people.

"Click——"

As the shutter sounded, a photo that could be recorded in the history of Chinese scientific research was taken.

After the photo session ended and everyone returned to their seats, Tang Lintian, who had not spoken much before, stood up again and took out a folder from his briefcase.

Seeing this posture, Chang Haonan knew that it must have something to do with him, so he didn't sit down directly, but waited for the other party to speak.

“In addition, after discussion by the school leadership team and reported to the Ministry of Labor and Social Security for approval, in view of Comrade Chang Haonan’s significant achievements in numerical calculations, fluid mechanics and structural mechanics, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics decided to appoint Dr. Chang Haonan as a special Director of the Compressor Research Center of our school, director of the school-level computing center, and rated as a second-level professor!”

After reading, Tang Lintian closed the folder again and handed it to Chang Haonan:

"The formal letter of appointment and contract will be sent out together with your degree certificate in a few days."

"Congratulations, Professor Chang."
