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

As the music sounded, Yao Mengna led Chang Haonan and quickly walked to a specially set aside area in the middle of the venue to start on-site training.

"As long as this happens first, then this, then again..."

With a real dance partner as a sparring partner, the most basic movements are not complicated for those who have at least a basic foundation in broadcast gymnastics.

The only troublesome thing is that the ballroom dance moves are designed based on the height difference between men and women, which is about 10 centimeters.

Yao Mengna is tall and can almost reach Chang Haonan's eyebrows after wearing high heels.

So sometimes you need to bend down to do it.

"I didn't expect you had practiced this before?"

In fact, Chang Haonan soon discovered that Yao Mengna was not an expert. She just couldn't jump with her left foot stepping on her right foot.

Even if it's not a temporary study, it should only be learned for a short period of time.

Fortunately, as a social activity, the focus of everyone's attention is obviously not on the quality of technology.

"That was... when I was an undergraduate, the school just happened to allow the establishment of student clubs. At that time, everyone was required to sign up for at least one. I saw that the dance club was the first one on the list, so I signed up."

Yao Mengna answered while guiding Chang Haonan to keep up with the music:

"Actually, I originally thought that the dance club would teach some classical dance, but when I finally entered, I discovered that it was ballroom dancing."

Chang Haonan thought for a while, then continued:

"Most of the dances are youth kung fu. Those who can become a monk and start practicing halfway are probably the only ones who can practice ballroom dancing..."

Some people who were still eager to try it out just now realized that the two of them had obviously known each other for a long time, and finally the surroundings became a little quieter.

"I heard from Principal Tang before that you also received an invitation from the American Mathematical Society to attend their annual meeting?"

The occasion here is obviously not suitable for talking about work-related topics, but the matter Yao Mengna asked seems to be closer to life or gossip, so it doesn't seem so inconsistent.

"Uh...he probably heard the second-hand news from somewhere."

Chang Haonan felt helpless after hearing this:

"It's not the American Mathematical Society, it's Princeton's Annual Mathematics Meeting... Of course, judging from the size of the attendees, it's about the same..."

"To be honest, if it weren't for the inconvenience of my status, I would really like to see how capable those top mathematicians are."

Yao Mengna naturally understood the specific meaning of "inconvenience" in Chang Haonan's words, so she suggested with a smile:

"If you really want to, I think maybe you can consider asking Principal Tang to come forward and invite some famous scholars to visit or give lectures in the name of the school?"

At this time, Beijing Airlines has not been included in the list of sanctioned entities, so those non-confidential majors can still conduct normal foreign academic exchange activities.

But...

Communication requires the subjective will of others.

Chang Haonan shook his head:

"Our school has almost no voice in the mathematics community, and Principal Tang is not a professional in mathematics research. It would be hard to invite those math geniuses to come over."

After finishing speaking, he added in his heart:

"Actually, if you spend money to pay huge appearance fees, it's not hopeless..."

Of course, it would be a bit embarrassing to say this.

There are only a few people even in the mathematical community who can truly treat money like dirt. However, this is a tacit understanding and is not suitable for public discussion.

Moreover, Chang Haonan is currently only "interested" in mathematics, and it is impossible for the school to spend a lot of money just for this personal interest.

Although the funds in the past two years are indeed much more abundant than before, for most projects, they are far from the level of deep pockets, and you still have to plan carefully.

"It was true that it didn't exist in the past, but now it does..."

Yao Mengna raised her head slightly, looked into Chang Haonan's eyes and said.

"Uh……"

The latter felt a little strange being stared at by her like this, so he immediately changed his gaze:

"I just published a paper in the Annual Journal of Mathematics. At best, I can only be considered a nouveau riche... In fact, I am not even a nouveau riche. It's not like I won the Fields Medal."

"In short, not only Beijing Airlines, but also our country is still relatively lacking in theoretical exploration. Of course, it is not yet time to pay attention to this aspect..."

"..."

After all, he was a rookie with a purely cute new configuration. By the time the first song ended, Chang Haonan already felt that his body was stiff and his limbs were sore, and his level of fatigue was comparable to staying up late for a week to complete the project.

Yao Mengna still has some unfinished ideas, but she also knows that today has made a good start. At this time, it is necessary to advance and retreat in a controlled manner.

So he followed Chang Haonan out of the dance floor very generously.

"Okay, I should be waiting for you over there. I'm going to get something to eat."

After saying that, she raised her hand to help Chang Haonan adjust his slightly wrinkled collar.

……

Seeing Yao Mengna's figure disappear into the crowd, Chang Haonan sighed softly, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Xu Yang, wearing a women's suit, standing behind him.

It looks like he has not just arrived, but has been here for a while.

However, Chang Haonan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Researcher Xu, long time no see."

Compared to Yao Mengna, who has "unfair intentions", although the relationship between Xu Yang and him is also very good, it can still be felt after being in contact for a long time. The former's mentality is closer to "after many years of seeking defeat alone, I finally met a partner of equal strength." .

In other words, it is a purely working relationship.

It's just that Xu Yang himself is probably a little lacking in emotion, so he sometimes behaves a little strangely.

The other party's performance also confirmed Chang Haonan's thoughts.

"Mr. Chang, you are not particular..."

Xu Yang shook his head with sadness and anger:

"You published an article in the Annals of Mathematics without any fanfare. How come I didn't realize that you were also doing research on differential geometry?"

"You're not wrong. There really hasn't been any research done on this before."

Chang Haonan explained as he walked towards the door:

"In the past few months, I encountered some project problems, so I accidentally discovered something new..."

"Ugh……"

Xu Yang was used to this situation:

"This is you. If someone else said this, I wouldn't believe anything you say..."

After just chatting briefly with Xu Yang, Chang Haonan quickly came to the "middle-aged and elderly market" next door.

"Hey, Comrade Haonan...why...are you here so soon?"

The first person to see Chang Haonan was Zhu Linyu, general manager of the Aviation Power Group.

He was also one of the "culprits" who arranged for the former to deliver a speech elsewhere.

Mainly because he was older, he didn't participate in the nearby drinking party.

"Hey...it's just a speech. It doesn't have a few words in total. Once I say it, it's over..."

Chang Haonan picked up a wine glass filled with sparkling water from the side and touched it lightly with Zhu Linyu, who also had water in the glass:

"Leave the occasion over there to the young people..."

Zhu Linyu glanced at Chang Haonan with a strange look.

In fact, most of the "young people" participating in the fellowship today are older than Chang Haonan.

But from the perspective of the group leader, it seems normal to say this...

A little weird.

So he decided to change the subject.

Since everyone here is from several military-industrial groups, the topic can be relaxed a little:

"Shengjing... I mean the cooperation with the French in the development of the M88. How is it progressing now?"

"very smooth."

Chang Haonan said and drank all the liquid in the cup:

"Or rather... it's a little too smooth..."

Immediately afterwards, he spent about 5 minutes roughly recounting Snecma's operations to maximize subjective initiative.

Although Zhu Linyu was not present, even when he was just listening to Chang Haonan's words, his lips almost reached the sky.

He belongs to the second generation of Chinese aviation people. It can be said that 90% of his career has been spent digesting and absorbing foreign technology——

The first 45% are from the Soviet Union, and the last 45% are from Europe and the United States.

Now, as he is approaching the final stage of retirement, he has witnessed with his own eyes this scene that can be called a rebellion against Tiangang. It is impossible to say that he is not happy.

"Comrade Haonan."

Zhu Linyu hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said:

"In the field of aerospace development, the French have always had deep ties with the United States, such as the CFM Group, which was jointly established by General Electric and Snecma."

"Do you think it's possible that this incident could lead to a breakup between the two of them?"

Chang Haonan saw through what the other party was thinking almost instantly——

In the field of aviation development, although the French are seriously partial to science, they still have some special skills.

This means that although it is difficult for them to develop high-level aviation engines completely independently, they can serve as a boost in the research and development process of other countries and play a very effective supporting role.

By analogy, it is roughly equivalent to a bard who buffs teammates.

Therefore, if this incident can be used as an opportunity to completely tie the French aviation industry to China's chariot, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to future development.

The idea is good.

only……

"I have to say... it's very unlikely."

Chang Haonan made a decisive judgment:

"Actually, the reason why the M88 engine matter has reached this point is largely due to errors in judgment on General Electric's part, rather than because they really want to force the French to come to our side."

"In any case, as a NATO member and a European country, France cannot completely break up with the Americans, at least in the short term. Even this time, the dispute between GM and Snecma is basically limited to military use. fields, while the operations of more important civilian fields, such as CFM Group, have not been affected.”

"And I speculate that in order to appease the French, the Americans will definitely give them some sweeteners in the aviation field. In this way, even the best result for us is that the French stay in the middle and do not help either. "

After some analysis, Zhu Linyu was able to dispel some of his fantasies about letting himself go.

Fortunately, the old comrades have been here for so many years, so they still have this strength.

And no matter what, this wave is considered a win.

There is a first time and a second time for cooperation.

As long as the hoe is swung well, there is no corner to dig it down.

"Well, you are the chief planner, so you should worry more about the group's strategic line."

Zhu Linyu said and patted Chang Haonan on the shoulder:

"The future belongs to you young people..."
