Chapter 173 Well-deserved
Xu Chongxing leads the Institute of Fluid Mechanics and has achieved many results in this field over the years, which have been specifically applied to the fields of domestic aircraft and rockets.

Xu Yuan also knew that this was not his first nomination, so he would definitely be selected as an academician of the Academy of Engineering according to the process.

When I calculated carefully, the time was not much different from what I remembered.

He was undoubtedly very happy that Xu Chongxing was selected as an academician.

In addition to being a recognition of Xu Chongxing's many years of research, this is also the greatest honor for him as a scientific researcher.

In addition, by having my mentor become an academician, it will undoubtedly be smoother and easier for him to be nominated for academician selection in the future.

So after learning the news, he specially congratulated Xu Chongxing in advance from the bottom of his heart.

He even called out "Academician Xu" before leaving.

Since he has decided to go to Jincheng to participate in the optimization of the fly-by-wire flight control system of the stealth fighter project and ensure that the J-20 can successfully make its maiden flight as a tribute to the Olympics, Xu Yuan will definitely not waste any extra time.

After coming out of Xu Chongxing's office, he went to Liao Fangyi first and talked to him.

After all, he is now a professor at Qinghua, so he can't be unable to find him.

Fortunately, he currently has no teaching assignments, and it is summer vacation and students have not yet started school, so the schedule is convenient and he doesn't have to worry about it.

that's it.

Two days later, Xu Yuan took some luggage and successfully boarded a flight to Jincheng.

……

Sunday, July 2007, 7, Jincheng International Airport.

Xu Yuan got off the plane, picked up his suitcase, and saw an acquaintance after walking a few steps.

Zhao Yuefeng has a fanatical admiration for Xu Yuan. Ever since that day at the discussion meeting, when Xu Yuan's aerodynamic layout plan overwhelmed the plans of several other aircraft design institutes and successfully got the higher-ups to decide on the project of producing the latest generation of domestic stealth fighter jets, Xu Yuan's image in his mind has become so great that he begins to admire him.

Although Xu Yuan was only his junior, he felt that with Xu Yuan's strong talent in mechanics, he would definitely join their research institute after graduation.

Therefore, although my contact with Xu Yuan decreased afterwards, I never stopped paying attention to him.

But it would have been better if he hadn't paid attention to it. After paying attention to it, he became even more frightened and deeply stimulated.

He originally thought that Xu Yuan's greatest talent was in engineering mechanics, after all, he was so favored by Professor Xu Chongxing.

Even Academician Song in the institute often praises it.

But the reality is that Xu Yuan's greatest talent is in mathematics.

In particular, watching Xu Yuan prove the optimal transmission theory all the way, solving the Qiu Chengtong conjecture and putting an end to the Calabi conjecture, brought a major breakthrough in the ultimate problem in the field of number theory, the twin theory.

Participated in the International Congress of Mathematicians and won the Gauss Prize.

Now he has been directly hired as a full professor by the Department of Mathematics of Qinghua University, and his rank has obviously surpassed that of an assistant researcher like him.

It was not until this time that he deeply understood that what he was paying attention to were not ordinary geniuses.

It has reached the level of a genius among geniuses.

At the same time, he also felt fortunate for himself that his relationship with Xu Yuan was still good.

For this reason, when he learned that Xu Yuanlai came to the institute to participate in the optimization of the flight control system, he took the initiative to pick him up.

The main reason is that the institute has added a lot of new blood in recent years, including several assistant researchers.

If the task of picking up Xu Yuan at the airport was given to someone else, he would probably regret it to death.

Today he arrived at the airport an hour early to wait. After making sure that the flight was not delayed, he stared at the exit for fear of missing Xu Yuan and wasting time.

So after noticing Xu Yuan's figure, he immediately trotted over to meet him.

"Junior brother..."

"Look at me, it's time to call me Professor Xu."

Zhao Yuefeng walked up and took the luggage from Xu Yuan's hand very naturally. He just called him "junior brother" and then seemed to suddenly remember something. He reacted quickly and called "Professor Xu" with a smile on his face.

Xu Yuan and Zhao Yuefeng did not meet very often, but the other party also graduated from the Department of Engineering Mechanics of Qinghua University.

And he was Professor Xu’s former student.

So we can get along quite well.

But he could clearly feel that Zhao Yuefeng was much more enthusiastic this time than their previous meetings.

Of course he was not surprised by this. After all, wherever there are people, there are human relationships and this is the same no matter where and at what time.

Facing Zhao Yuefeng's address, he did not put on airs, and still spoke with a smile:

"Brother, just call me Junior Brother. It's more intimate this way."

"Let's not talk about this for now. The car is just outside. You've been on the plane for such a long time, you need to rest." Zhao Yuefeng didn't say much on this topic. He just led the way with the luggage in hand. However, it was clear that the smile on his face became even brighter.

In the following time, the two exchanged a few pleasantries in the car, and of course, Zhao Yuefeng mostly praised his mathematical achievements.

After Xu Yuan saw that the topic was almost going on, he asked about the stealth fighter project.

He was originally the designer of the fighter's aerodynamic layout and appearance, and can be said to be a member of this project.

It is completely normal to ask Zhao Yuefeng about the relevant situation and does not violate relevant regulations.

Besides, he was invited by the Aircraft Design Institute this time, so he must have a clear understanding of the current status of the project.

"Is the only thing missing from the fighter jets now the fly-by-wire flight control system?"

Zhao Yuefeng certainly would not hide anything in response to Xu Yuan's question. He thought for a moment and organized his words before answering in detail. "For this latest generation of our stealth fighter, in addition to using some of the J-10's technology, we have also made many related upgrades."

"Currently the fuselage and power system have been completed, and there are no major problems with the rest."

"Only the fly-by-wire flight control system still has defects and cannot bring out the full performance of the fighter."

Xu Yuan listened to everything Zhao Yuefeng said and nodded from time to time to show his approval.

As the latest generation of domestically produced stealth fighter, it was designed from the beginning to compete with other most advanced fighter jets overseas.

Make it a sharp sword to deter villains.

In terms of relevant technologies, we must do our best.

Avoid the fighter's weaknesses as much as possible.

If the core fly-by-wire flight control system is not in place and the fighter's full performance cannot be brought into play, it would be a waste of the canard aerodynamic layout of the slatted wing and lifting body he designed.

Just as he was thinking about this, Zhao Yuefeng's voice rang in his ears again the next second.

"In order to ensure the perfection of the fly-by-wire flight control system, the institute has invited you to participate in the optimization. Professor Dai Zhigang from the Computer Science Department of Jinling University is also responsible for the flight control system software."

Xu Yuan was not familiar with Professor Dai from Jinling University, but since he was invited to be in charge of system software, he thought his level in this area must be very high.

Because I haven't met Academician Song Wencong yet, I don't understand or consider many specific details.

The rest of the matter can only be discussed after meeting Academician Song.

"I see."

He moved his lips and said something to Zhao Yuefeng, and then didn't say anything else.

Soon Xu Yuan arrived at the research institute and took the things into the room with the help of Zhao Yuefeng.

In addition, according to Zhao Yuefeng, the institute will hold a project discussion meeting on Monday, and tasks will be reallocated at that time.

After Zhao Yuefeng left the room, Xu Yuan also took his things out of the suitcase.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the stack of manuscripts filled with mathematical formulas.

His coming here to help does not mean he will ignore the Goldbach conjecture. If he has any inspiration or thinks of any new ideas, he will continue to try to derive it and strive to complete the proof.

For the rest of the time, Xu Yuan did not go out, but chose to stay in the room to recuperate.

The next day.

Xu Yuan and Zhao Yuefeng had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then they walked towards the meeting room together.

It is worth mentioning that he came here last time with Xu Chongxing and only went to the office of Academician Song Wencong.

I don't know much about the internal environment of the institute.

However, because he had previously represented the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute and participated in a discussion seminar in Yenching, he was already known to many people, who would take the initiative to say hello when they met him on the road.

He responded to each one with a smile.

Not long after he and Zhao Yuefeng entered the conference room, Academician Song Wencong finally arrived.

After noticing Xu Yuan in the conference room, he walked straight over.

"Xu Yuan, we meet again. I am quite surprised by your performance in mathematics."

"Well done."

"As long as we can bring glory to the country, it doesn't matter which field we are in."

"Also, congratulations on becoming the youngest full professor. This is a record-breaking move in the country."

Seeing Song Wencong, Xu Yuan immediately stood up and took a few steps forward. Listening to the compliments in front of Academician Song Wencong, he still spoke modestly.

"I was lucky enough to win the Gauss Prize, so I was able to become a mathematics professor."

Song Wencong said seriously, "You have won this award because of your excellent performance, and you deserve to be Professor Qinghua."

"True gold is not afraid of fire."

"Everyone please take a seat first, we'll start once everyone is here." The last sentence was said to everyone.

After a few brief exchanges, Xu Yuan immediately took the position of a researcher at the same level as the professor.

Soon, Professor Dai Zhigang from Jinling University also arrived at the conference room on time to attend today's project discussion meeting.

In addition, Xu Yuan noticed that there was a boy following the other person.

I think he must be the other party's student, and it is a rare experience to take this opportunity to participate in such a key project.

Since the two parties were not very familiar with each other, they just greeted each other briefly after Song Wencong's introduction.

After all, everyone's attention is on the main event, and they want to understand the specific situation of the project first, so that they can start the optimization work of the fly-by-wire flight control system in time.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the project discussion meeting officially began.

Song Wencong said a few simple words and then asked researchers from various parts of the fighter aircraft to report at the meeting.

After listening carefully to the whole process, I can confirm that the fighter jet is already very complete.

Of course, the most concerning part is the current situation faced by the fly-by-wire flight control system.
