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

Although the principle of optically controlled phased array radar is very new, it still falls within the scope of the radar industry.

Therefore, most of the specific research and development work must be handed over to the professional counterparts of China Electronics Technology Group.

This is certainly good news for Chang Haonan.

It can reduce a lot of burden.

It is true that he is a workaholic, but he is not a masochist.

If you can delegate a non-critical specific task, you will definitely not refuse it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for one person to perform multiple tasks and handle so many businesses at hand at the same time.

Moreover, this time Chang Haonan doesn't even have to worry too much about external publicity -

In addition to being a radar system expert, Wang Xiaomo is actually a congenital propaganda saint.

In 1988, when he was working at the 38th Institute of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, he relied on his eloquence and, with a radar model that had only a brochure and not even a prototype, managed to get 5000 million yuan in investment from abroad.

You know, the fiscal allocation for that model was only 2000 million RMB.

Of course, the research and development was successful in the end.

The customers are also very satisfied.

Drawing cakes is not offensive in itself.

Of course, some people just make promises but don’t let people eat them, which is another matter.

……

In the gap between the two projects, Chang Haonan finally got a few days of free time.

Just as he was about to open his often overcrowded mailbox to see if there was anything interesting happening in the foreign academic circle recently, half a head suddenly popped in from the open office door.

"teacher?"

It’s Li Yabo.

Chang Haonan had no choice but to shift his attention away from the webpage that was still spinning.

After experiencing several email overloads, Tang Lintian specifically asked the school's information technology department to allocate additional space to his mailbox.

However, due to computer performance and Internet speed, it inevitably takes a lot of time to open the inbox every time.

"Teacher, I received an invitation!"

Li Yabo walked in quickly and said excitedly.

However, Chang Haonan was a little unresponsive for a moment when his student suddenly said this.

"Uh...you sit down first."

After motioning Li Yabo to sit down, he realized what the other party was talking about:

"An invitation... an invitation to participate in the first commercial flight of C808?"

In fact, Shanghai Aircraft Corporation had mentioned this invitation to Chang Haonan a long time ago, but he said at the time that he did not want to go through the trouble, so he only attended the ceremony last year to celebrate the successful completion of the certification test flight.

Later, the delivery of the first C808 was forced to be postponed due to problems with the delivery of engine parts, and the commercial maiden flight has been delayed until now.

Chang Haonan almost forgot about it.

"Correct."

Li Yabo happily took out an exquisite envelope from his schoolbag and handed it to Chang Haonan:

"So I would like to ask you for two days off next week."

The envelope had the logos of China United Airlines and Hufei Group printed side by side.

Due to the influence of "the military is not allowed to engage in business", United Airlines is currently separated from the Air Force system, but has not yet joined China Eastern Airlines. Instead, it is temporarily operating independently in a somewhat awkward form.

It is probably waiting for the next round of restructuring of the civil aviation system.

However, it is precisely because of its independent operation that this airline is more daring to be the first in many areas.

For example, the C808 printed on the lower right corner of the envelope is painted with intricate Olympic bid theme paintings.

It is the second airline to follow the footsteps of Hainan Airlines and begin to adopt large-scale fuselage painting.

Because Chang Haonan's own work and rest schedule was irregular and he was often on business trips for long periods of time, Liu Chenchen was responsible for Torch Laboratory's daily work such as leave and small funding approvals.

Today, Li Yabo came to see Chang Haonan specially, and asking for leave was obviously just a coincidence.

The main purpose is probably to report to the latter that he was invited.

Although the laser processing project has not yet been implemented in the specific production field, Li Yabo still published an article in Nature as the first author at the beginning of the year.

These days, even in the eyes of companies, getting a sum of money in exchange for a paper published in a top journal is definitely a huge profit.

You should know that, excluding the three short reviews, in the whole year of 3, Chinese scholars only published four papers in Nature.

The exposure that comes from this, and the content that can be included in the year-end review, is worth the money alone.

Not to mention that this paper can also mislead competitors.

Therefore, as one of the main suppliers of major components of the C808 fuselage, it is perfectly normal for Gaofei Group to send an invitation letter to Li Yabo.

"Okay, you can arrange the time yourself."

Chang Haonan returned the envelope to Li Yabo:

"Take more photos and put them up on the publicity wall of our laboratory."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered a series of short videos he had seen in his previous life.

It's the one that uses cats and dogs to refer to mentors and students.

There is an issue that compares “before publishing in Nature” and “after publishing in Nature”——

After publishing in Nature, even if I fell asleep during a group meeting, the teacher would ask everyone to shut up so as not to disturb our rest.

Of course, the situation with Li Yabo’s Nature article was somewhat different, but no matter what, Chang Haonan was still relatively reassured about him.

"Are we still lacking materials for our lab's publicity wall?"

Li Yabo was so shocked that he stopped moving his hands:

"If you just display some of your... things, won't it make others drop their jaws?"

"That's different."

Chang Haonan picked up the mouse and turned his attention back to the email page:

"As for the lab, it's not just me. Only when everyone shows results can we say that the overall level of our lab is high."

"Besides, the name is my content. Others have seen it too much. Even if I put up a new one, few people will pay attention to it..."

"..."

Facing Chang Haonan's casual hint of Fan Xue, Li Yabo didn't know how to react for a moment:

"Okay then... I'll try to take better pictures..."

Then he picked up his schoolbag, turned around and left Chang Haonan's office.

"It's pretty good..."

Looking at Li Yabo's back, Chang Haonan showed no expression on the surface, but he was still happy in his heart.

The fact that his students received such an invitation as independent individuals undoubtedly adds glory to him as a teacher.

To be honest, although he is not yet an academician, Chang Haonan's status in the Chinese academic circle has basically reached its limit.

But as far as his job as a professor is concerned, he is only a novice and still has a lot of room for improvement.

After all, when it comes to taking in disciples, it often comes down to appearance.

Some students pose no threat to teachers in the academic world, but will bring shame to their teachers in the education world.

Fortunately, these two students in his first year were pretty good—

The doctoral student Wang Jie also writes the reports he submits every month very carefully.

It’s just that shipbuilding is a long-term project after all, so we haven’t produced any particularly convincing results yet.
