Chapter 201 This is just the beginning
Now that things have come to this, Xu Yuan can't continue to refuse. After all, this represents the trust of all the staff in the institute in him.
In addition to his experience in participating in the development of stealth fighter jets, he is very confident that he can complete the advanced reconnaissance and strike UAV project.
The thought stayed here, and he paused before agreeing.
"Then I'll try."
After saying that, he went on to say: "Next, I will try to complete the design of the UAV's appearance and submit it to the group for review and approval of the project. As for the specific matters later, I may need to ask you for your help." He has already started to make arrangements for the project.
Song Wencong was undoubtedly full of confidence in Xu Yuan and was very supportive of these arrangements.
The next second, he took over the conversation and nodded, "If you need anyone for the project, feel free to apply to the institute."
"Thank you for the support from the institute." Xu Yuan replied with a smile on his face.
After the institute's next key project was finalized, everyone felt much more relaxed.
Afterwards, Song Wencong continued to arrange other matters in the institute and did not continue to waste everyone's time.
The meeting was soon declared over.
-
Two days later, Song Wencong, who had been the mainstay of the institute, officially announced his retirement and would no longer serve as chief designer. Everyone in the institute also held a farewell ceremony for him.
However, given Song Wencong's passion for his work, I believe that even if he retired and stayed at home, he would not be able to help but visit the research institute from time to time.
Xu Yuan waited until after attending the farewell ceremony before taking the nearest flight back to Yanjing.
As for the participants of the drone project, only researchers Liang Zhanjun and Zhao Yuefeng were initially selected.
The rest will be selected from those who have previously participated in the institute's drone projects.
After all, with relevant R&D experience and failure experience that can also be put to use, it is possible to get started quickly when participating in the research of new projects again.
Since Xu Yuan is the chief designer of the project, he will naturally do his best to be responsible.
During the time he was away, he asked Liang Zhanjun to first set up a complete project team.
In particular, the members need to work together to complete the initial preparations.
In this way, once he designs the appearance of the drone and passes the approval of the group, the project can officially start research and development, manufacturing and testing. Although he has no experience in drone research and development, he believes that it will not take too much time with the knowledge in his mind.
At least it should be shorter than the research and development cycle of stealth fighter jets, and we should strive to develop world-leading drones as soon as possible.
Liang Zhanjun does not have full confidence in developing the world's leading reconnaissance and strike drone.
But I believe in Xu Yuan's strength.
It is believed that as long as Xu Yuan participates, the situation of domestically produced stealth fighter jets will reappear sooner or later.
Therefore, when Xu Yuan invited him to join the project, he agreed without any hesitation.
Zhao Yuefeng was at the other extreme. When he heard that Xu Yuan had assigned him to the drone project, he was extremely excited.
The word "happy" is just a matter of writing on my forehead.
He is currently only an assistant researcher, and the benefits of being able to participate in new projects are self-evident.
Once the project produces results, I'm afraid he will be close to becoming an associate researcher.
Besides, he knew how much importance the institute attached to this project.
The fact that Xu Yuan was appointed as the chief designer speaks volumes.
And after officially becoming a member of the project, he has been very active and hard-working and has not been a drag.
After Xu Yuan returned to Yanjing, he did not immediately start designing the appearance of the drone he was going to develop.
The main purpose was to watch the Olympic Games, which was the most anticipated event for the nation. As a full professor at Qinghua School of Mathematics, he also got a chance to watch the opening ceremony at the Bird's Nest Stadium.
Naturally, he would not give up this opportunity to make up for his regrets.
So he took Chen Yuran with him to the Bird's Nest.
-
Friday, November 2008, 8.
Today is definitely a day that people are looking forward to.
The opening ceremony of the world-renowned 29th Olympic Games in Yanjing will be held at the Bird's Nest Stadium.
The opening ceremony was directed by Zhang Yimou.
In the afternoon, Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran sat in a car and drove quickly towards the Bird's Nest Stadium.
Looking out of the car window, you can see the Olympic rings and the Fuwa everywhere on both sides of the road. Even if you don't get out of the car, you can feel this warm atmosphere that you haven't seen for a long time.
The driver was Chen Yuran's father, Professor Chen Jianfang, and next to him was his future mother-in-law, Su Meihong.
Xu Yuan hasn't taken the driving test yet.
Of course, if he wants to get the certificate, it is very simple and does not take much time.
The main reason is that he himself is not very interested in driving. On the contrary, he thinks it is a very energy-consuming activity.
After all, a genius like him will be very focused in doing anything, especially driving.
I can't help but stay focused.
Besides, the school had already offered to provide him with a special car, but he did not accept it because he felt it was too close to his accommodation.
In addition, no matter which city he goes on business trips to, he always takes special channels when taking trains, high-speed trains, airplanes and other means of transportation, so he doesn't need to drive himself, which is not very convenient. However, Chen Yuran is quite interested in cars, so he can let him get a driver's license to drive in the future.
At this time, the two of them pointed at the Fuwa outside the car window from time to time, with smiles of love on their faces.
Suddenly Su Meihong thought of something, turned her head and said to Xu Yuan: "Yu Ran will graduate from graduate school next year. Jianfang and I think it would be best for you two to get married before you start working. What do you and your family think about this?" The smile on her face never disappeared for a second while she spoke.
If I were to describe Su Meihong's performance at this moment, there would only be two simple words.
satisfaction.
There is a saying that the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she will be.
Most of the people he was talking about were Xu Yuan.
After all, with Xu Yuan's current achievements in academia, looking at the many geniuses emerging in the country, it can be said that there is no second one who can compare to him.
In addition, the two of them were in a free love relationship, so they were naturally very happy.
Chen Jianfang, who was driving, heard his wife suddenly mention this matter and couldn't help but follow behind and said something with a smile.
"I also think it's good to get married early. Having children early won't affect your respective work."
He had just finished speaking when he added a few more words the next second.
"That's just what we said. You young people should discuss the details among yourselves."
Xu Yuan listened to everything the two elders said and knew that they were also considering himself and his daughter.
In addition, he was also inclined to get married early, so he first lowered his eyes to glance at Chen Yuran who was sitting upright next to him, and then spoke to Chen Jianfang and Su Meihong with a smile on his face.
"I have already told my family about this matter. They will come to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year and arrange the wedding first."
"If Yu Ran has no objection, we will get married next summer vacation."
"That's good. Xiaoyuan, you are really thoughtful." Su Meihong smiled and said.
Obviously he was very satisfied with Xu Yuan's approach.
Chen Jianfang had always liked Xu Yuan, and now that he saw Xu Yuan could be together with his daughter, he felt relieved.
Even though Chen Yuran and Xu Yuan already lived together and were very familiar with each other, when she heard Xu Yuan's words, she showed a rare bit of shyness.
He sat obediently in his seat the whole time and didn't dare to speak.
It has been a long time since I saw Chen Yuran like this, and Xu Yuan couldn't help but reach out to tease her.
……
Soon, several people arrived at the Bird's Nest Stadium, and after queuing up to go inside, their eyes seemed to be out of control.
His eyes moved flexibly in his eye sockets, trying his best to memorize the scene in front of him.
The specially built Bird's Nest Stadium can accommodate 90,000 people.
The venue for such a grand event is naturally packed, and you can imagine how lively it is just by imagining it.
Soon, when the time came to 19:50, under the gaze of spectators on the scene, a dazzling halo illuminated the ancient sundial, and bursts of powerful hitting sounds rang out in the middle of the stadium.
At the same time, the percussion instrument gu emitted white lights that flashed one by one, forming a countdown number.
At the end, the audience shouted in unison for the final ten-second countdown.
Coupled with the bright and colorful lights on the scene and the gorgeous and colorful fireworks shooting high into the sky, it can truly be said to be a new chapter that has attracted worldwide attention.
At this moment, a great moment that has attracted worldwide attention is approaching.
Chen Yuran beside him was also infected by the atmosphere and shouted with everyone in great excitement.
Only Xu Yuan sat in his seat with a smile on his face. Although he didn't say a word, time passed and his mind was filled with thoughts.
The entire opening ceremony lasted 245 minutes, and Xu Yuan was completely immersed in it and enjoyed it until the end.
As the stunning performances were posted online one after another, netizens who regretted not being able to attend the event made no secret of their excitement.
Although I didn't go to the scene, I seemed to be able to empathize with the audience in the stadium through the screen.
The natural pride in my bones continues to emerge and grow.
Every time the Olympic Games are held, they are undoubtedly the focus of global media attention.
Faced with such a shocking opening ceremony, related reports quickly spread to overseas websites.
It has attracted praise from countless overseas users.
It can be said that this has given overseas people a completely new understanding of this country.
Coupled with the fact that the stealth fighter jet just successfully completed its maiden flight a few days ago and also caused a huge sensation around the world, this has made many people feel complicated.
Some even put aside their previous contempt and treated it as a real opponent.
Although this situation may increase the difficulty of rising, since we have chosen to draw the sword, we will never retreat.
After attending the opening ceremony, Xu Yuan paid rare attention to overseas news reports, but he just smiled and didn't take the media's comments to heart.
He then began designing the world's leading drone.
He needs to complete the appearance layout design of the drone as soon as possible, build this advanced domestic drone, and let everyone know that the appearance of the J-20 stealth fighter is just the beginning.
