Chapter 203 A design that surprised the group [ more subscriptions required]

"Of course it's the domestic drone we're going to develop next. Professor Liang might as well finish reading the rest of the article first."

Xu Yuan answered Liang Zhanjun with a faint smile on his face, motioning for the other party to continue looking at the design plan.

At this time, Shen Yamin and Jia Yueguang next to them were also quite dumbfounded. They had to temporarily suppress their doubts and turned around with Liang Zhanjun again to lock their eyes on the screen.

Zhao Yuefeng naturally heard all the data that Liang Zhanjun read out loud just now.

A question mark also emerged in my mind.

I don’t know what the drone designed by Xu Yuan is like.

It was actually mistaken for a bomber by Liang Zhanjun.

After all, according to their previous experience in researching drones, these two models are completely different.

Nearly half an hour passed like this before Liang Zhanjun and the other three slowly withdrew their gaze.

The expression on his face was nothing but complicated.

I don't know how to describe it at all.

Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute has studied drones before. Although the drone project ultimately failed, some experience was accumulated.

Liang Zhanjun thought that these experiences could help with project development, but now he is completely in the dark.

After all, the drone design plan that Xu Yuan came up with was beyond their understanding.

In the end, he was the first to speak, asking questions on behalf of others.

"If it's just a drone, does it need to be designed with such a long range and a payload of more than two tons?"

"Are you sure this isn't a bomber?"

After he finished speaking, Shen Yamin and Jia Yueguang beside him did not speak, but they also looked at Xu Yuan, obviously looking forward to Xu Yuan's next answer.

"Our drone is positioned to have long-range heavy loads and independently carry out multiple tasks for a long flight time, so these expected parameters are what this domestic drone must achieve."

"I believe that with the advent of this drone, it will definitely fill our gaps in certain areas."

As the director of the institute, Jia Yueguang became excited immediately after hearing Xu Yuan's idea.

Although the design of this drone is amazing, its power would certainly be quite shocking if it could be truly developed.

After all, in terms of maximum range alone, it has already exceeded the most advanced bomber currently in service.

If a certain scale of fully loaded bombers were formed to attack the target, the effect might be better than that of bombers.

His thought stayed here, and he couldn't help but say, "I think although Xiao Xu's design is bold, it is indeed in line with our current situation and fills in some gaps to a large extent." It was not until then that he understood why Song Wencong attached so much importance to Xu Yuan.

Originally, regarding the UAV project that Xu Yuan was in charge of, he followed Song Wencong's instructions and attached great importance to the project.

But I'm not particularly optimistic about it.

This is not the first time that the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute has developed a drone, but the end result was disappointing.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuan gave him such a big surprise before the project officially started.

The design proposal was beyond his expectations.

With his years of experience in the institute, he can certainly judge the value of this drone.

But just as he was about to ask further questions, he heard Liang Zhanjun speak first and ask a new question.

"But can our institute really develop such a drone?"

It's not that he doubted Xu Yuan's design level. The main thing is that a drone with a wingspan of 24 meters must not only have a maximum take-off weight of more than six tons, but also a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, which places extremely high demands on the aircraft's engine and fuselage materials.

With the current technical level of the institute, it is indeed a question whether this model can be successfully developed.

When Jia Yueguang heard Liang Zhanjun's words, he immediately calmed down a lot.

Although he really wanted to see this drone come out, he had to acknowledge the objective facts.

"Professor Liang's concerns are indeed justified. I wonder if the expected parameters of the aircraft can be lowered?" Jia Yueguang asked tentatively after hesitation.

His idea was relatively simple. Since it was quite difficult to give the drone such high parameters, he might as well lower the parameters appropriately to reduce the difficulty, at least to make a test machine first.

In this way, even if the performance of the aircraft is reduced, it is still an excellent drone.

At most, some special tasks do not meet the conditions for execution.

Xu Yuan naturally understood what the two were worried about, but he wanted to develop the most advanced drone in the world, so he set such high parameters.

If the aircraft performance requirements were to be lowered, the design he had completed would be redundant.

With his mind working quickly, he said without any hesitation:
"I still say the same thing. If we are going to do it, we have to make the most advanced drone in the world."

"When the domestic stealth fighter project was launched, the difficulties we faced were probably no less than they are now, but today our fighter jets are still at the top of the world."

“I believe the project team in our institute can complete the task.”

After these powerful words were spoken, just as Liang Zhanjun and Jia Yueguang fell into deep thought, Shen Yamin next to them had already made his attitude clear.

"I support Xu Yuan's point of view."

"If the expected design parameters are cut down, it will probably be no different from an ordinary drone."

"If this is the case, I'm afraid that private enterprises can complete it, and there is no need for our institute to be responsible for it personally."

Jincheng Aircraft Design and Research Institute represents the most advanced aircraft research and development technology in the country.

The meaning of existence is to overcome various difficulties.

Shen Yamin's words undoubtedly completely strengthened the attitudes of Liang Zhanjun and Jia Yueguang.

The next second, Jia Yueguang seemed to have made a decision and immediately made the decision.

"Well."

"We will develop domestic drones according to this design plan, and I will bear any responsibility."

Anyone can see that the R&D cycle for such a complex and extremely difficult women's machine solution will definitely be very long, and the resources and R&D funds required will definitely be very high.

If the research and development fails again like last time, it will be a loss for the country.

The fact that Jia Yueguang can say that he takes full responsibility is enough to show his support for the project and his trust in Xu Yuan.

Having said that, Liang Zhanjun naturally would not have any objection.

Now that we have decided to develop this drone, the next natural step is to devote all our energy to the work.

"Young people are so confident and motivated. We old people must not fall behind at this time. Xiao Xu, please arrange any work on the project next."

As Liang Zhanjun's cheerful voice rang out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful.

Shen Yamin said with anticipation: "Now I am looking forward to tomorrow's summary meeting. I wonder how many people will be surprised when we bring out our UAV project, especially the people from Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation." It was as if he had already imagined the scene in his mind.

"That's for sure. Based on the amount of ammunition designed by Xiao Xu, it's normal to call it an aerial bomb truck." Liang Zhanjun took over Shen Yamin's words and couldn't help but said with a smile.

Xu Yuan knew that the main research and development projects of Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation were mainly transport aircraft and bombers.

If you suddenly see a drone that is more powerful than a bomber, you will definitely be very confused.

At this time, Jia Yueguang took into consideration that everyone was tired from the journey and had to go to the headquarters to attend the summary meeting tomorrow, so he did not delay everyone's time any longer.

After a pause, he said, "Let's stop here for today. Everyone should go to bed early."

Naturally, the others had no objection to this and prepared to return to their hotel rooms to rest.

Although Zhao Yuefeng was unable to see the specific content of the plan, after listening to everyone's discussion throughout, he was able to basically guess what the project was about. In short, he had to unconditionally follow Xu Yuan's arrangements.

After all, being able to make the director express his opinion in this way means that the honor that will be obtained after the project is completed will surely be great.

If nothing unexpected happens, his associate researcher will definitely not escape.

So before leaving, he did not forget to say hello to Xu Yuan.

"Professor Xu, you should rest early. I won't disturb you."

After listening to Zhao Yuefeng's words, Xu Yuan nodded slightly and smiled back at him.

Then we took a car back to our house near Qinghuayuan.

He already had a place to live in Yanjing, so there was no need for him to live in a hotel with Shen Yamin and the others.

Silence all night.

The next day.

Xu Yuan set off early after dinner.

First arrive at the hotel and meet up with Liang Zhanjun, Shen Yamin and others, and then take a special car to the headquarters of Aviation Industry Corporation of China.

……

This was Xu Yuan's second visit to the group headquarters. The last time he went there he attended a seminar with Song Wencong.

As the saying goes, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, so there is no need to be shy.

What's more, he is now a hero of the group.

Soon when they arrived at their destination and met and greeted other participants from the institute, Xu Yuan discovered something embarrassing.

He saw a group of researchers and associate researchers who were much older than him coming up to him and greeting him.

Not to mention those assistant researchers who have just graduated with a Ph.D.

Those who knew about it thought it was the group summary meeting, while those who didn’t know might have thought it was some big star coming.

"Hello, Professor Xu."

"Hello, Professor Xu. I'm from the Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute."

"Can I take a photo with you, Professor Xu?"

"Professor Xu, I am your fan."

……

Xu Yuan responded to other people's greetings one by one, and the smile on his face was almost stiff.

After finally getting through this hurdle, he turned around and said something to Huang Yunliang with some resentment.

"Professor Huang."

"You Xifei people are really enthusiastic."

"Of course." Huang Yunliang said with a smile: "After all, you are now a celebrity in the group."

Jia Yueguang next to him couldn't help but add: "This shows that everyone regards you as an idol."

"It's a good thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gao Yuhe leading the people from their Fengtian Design Institute walking towards him from a distance.

He greeted me before I even got close.

"This is Professor Xu Yuan, the man who designed the J-20. Why don't you go over and get to know him?"

When the group of people behind him heard this, they didn't delay any longer and immediately rushed towards Xu Yuan.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan had already practiced it, so it was not difficult to deal with it.

Gao Yuhe, Huang Yunliang, Shen Yamin, Jia Yueguang and other senior people in the institute who saw this scene couldn't help but feel complicated when facing this scene.

It really is the case that the old is being replaced by the new.

However, although they expressed their feelings, they only felt proud and honored that the group had such a newcomer.

Nearly ten minutes later, Xu Yuan finally found time to talk to Gao Yuhe: "Is Academician Gao in good health recently?"

"Thank you for your concern. If you could come to our institute, my health would be better." Gao Yuhe did not hide his thoughts and smiled as he looked at Xu Yuan while saying this.

Not to mention that he had the idea of ​​poaching, Huang Yunliang, who was standing next to him and also had a smile on his face, did the same.

After all, Xu Yuan's level is there, whether it is the aircraft's aerodynamic layout and appearance design, or the fly-by-wire flight control system and airborne radar, they can all play a crucial role.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xu Yuan himself is as good as several outstanding researchers in different fields.

The fact that Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute can complete the stealth fighter project is the best proof.

Previously, the institute had Song Wencong, the master of the sea, so they naturally did not dare to poach people in person. But now that Song Wencong has officially retired, if there is a real chance to poach people, they will definitely not miss the opportunity.

Jia Yueguang listened to the entire conversation between the two. Seeing Gao Yuhe poaching people in front of him, he couldn't help but respond with a stern face.

"Lao Gao."

"Your Fengtian Research Institute is also full of talented people. There is no need to poach people from our institute."

Hearing this, Gao Yuhe just smiled and didn't talk about this topic any more.

Not long after.

With the arrival of Chairman Lu Dongming and some group leaders, everyone took their seats and waited for the summary meeting to be held.

The summary meeting is the meeting with the largest number of participants in the group, and its content is mainly to commend the project personnel who have completed the project outstandingly.

The best project this year is naturally the domestically produced stealth fighter, and this honor is well deserved.

During this period, Xu Yuan and other project members of Jincheng Research Institute also stood on the stage to receive their certificates and generous bonuses, which made Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang extremely envious.

Since their research institute has no completed projects today, they can only envy others.

The summary meeting, which lasted more than two hours, ended, and a project report meeting followed in the afternoon.

This meeting was not much different from the previous discussion meeting. It was mainly for each research institute to report on the progress of the projects, and the participants were mainly researchers from each institute.

Compared with the summary meeting, there are much fewer people.

Even the new UAV project of Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute needs to report to the group and apply for project approval.

After all, project funds will only be released after approval by the group.

At lunch time, Xu Yuan and others naturally ate in the group's internal cafeteria.

As for the people eating at the same table, in addition to Gao Yuhe from Fengtian Research Institute, there were also Huang Yunliang from Xi'an Aircraft Research Institute and Lu Dongming, chairman of the group.

When these people gathered together, the aura they exuded was so astonishing that no one else dared to sit over there.

"Oh, Xiao Xu, there's something I didn't have time to tell you this morning. The number of places for the National Science and Technology Awards has been basically confirmed."

At the dinner table, Lu Dongming suddenly thought of something, put down his chopsticks temporarily, stood up and talked about this matter with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan naturally knew that Lu Dongming was talking about the active phased array radar and the application for the National Science and Technology Award. He had mentioned it before when the stealth fighter made its maiden flight. He did not expect that a few months later the quota had been officially confirmed.

Even though I had prepared myself mentally, I still couldn't help but feel happy when I heard the news.

He quickly opened his mouth to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Chairman, for telling me this."

When Jia Yueguang, Huang Yunliang and others nearby heard this, they all smiled brightly and were happy for Xu Yuan.

"Active phased array radar has a very wide range of applications, and it is expected that it will successfully win the national science and technology award."

"This is probably the first time that someone under the age of 30 has won an award of this level. It can be said to have set a new record."

“I don’t know which award it is?”

"It should be the National Science and Technology Progress Award, but the specific prize has not yet been finalized." Lu Dongming answered Gao Yuhe's question.

Except for the highest science and technology award for which only academicians can participate in the selection, the other four awards are divided into special prize, first prize and second prize. The value of different levels is naturally different.

Xu Yuan didn't think too much about it. Anyway, the National Science and Technology Awards Conference will be held in June next year.

In the following time, Lu Dongming did not choose to eat, but instead asked about new things again.

"I heard from Mr. Song that your institute has a project, and you, Xiao Xu, will be the chief designer?"

"Yes, Chairman, the specific project plan has been completed." Xu Yuan looked up and answered truthfully when asked.

"Is the plan completed?" Lu Dongming asked in surprise.

He had previously visited Song Wencong and learned from him that the Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute had a new project, and this time Xu Yuan was appointed as the chief designer to be in charge of the project.

He was also quite curious about this.

Although as a researcher Xu Yuan, there is no problem in serving as the chief designer and being responsible for the project.

But Xu Yuan is only in his twenties after all, and there has never been a chief designer at this age before.

It can be said that this has set a precedent.

It is true that Xu Yuan made a great contribution to the successful completion of the domestic stealth fighter project, but the project leader was Academician Song Wencong.

Now that Xu Yuan is in charge, people are naturally looking forward to the development of the project.

So I paid attention to Xu Yuan's project.

I just asked casually, but I didn't expect that the project plan has been completed.

Before he could open his mouth in confusion, he heard Jia Yueguang next to him add with a smile on his face: "The chairman may not know yet, this project plan was completed by Xiao Xu alone, and he plans to formally submit an application to the group at the report meeting this afternoon." He looked confident when talking about the completion of the design plan.

Lu Dongming listened to everything Jia Yueguang said and became more and more looking forward to the content of this project plan.

"Since Xiao Xu completed the project plan by himself, I have to listen to the report carefully this afternoon."

At the beginning, Xu Yuan completed the canard aerodynamic layout design alone, which eventually led to the birth of domestically-produced stealth fighter.

Now that a new design has been completed, it may be another huge surprise.

Of course, we must pay special attention to it.

Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang also became interested.

Unexpectedly, Jincheng Aircraft Design and Institute had just completed the development of the J-20, and even though there was still a lot of work to do in the future, they still determined a new research and development project.

No matter what the content of the project is, this efficiency alone is beyond the reach of their two institutes.

I couldn't help but feel more emotional and regretful that Xu Yuan was not a researcher in my own research institute.

The thought stayed here. Gao Yuhe couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"Your institute has decided on a new project, is it a fighter jet?"

"Let's eat first. You will definitely know the specific content when we attend the lecture in the afternoon." Jia Yueguang took the lead in speaking before Xu Yuan could speak, obviously wanting to keep the topic in suspense.

Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang were naturally not satisfied when they saw that the problem was blocked by Jia Yueguang.

However, it was not appropriate to discuss too much at the dinner table right now, so I finally gave up and lowered my head to eat.

Anyway, as Jia Yueguang said, we will know what is going on in this afternoon.

Lu Dongming noticed the changes in the expressions of the few people, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything else.

The Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute is so efficient that it can stimulate Fengtian and Xifei. After all, healthy competition between research institutes can promote the birth of scientific research results.

-

that's it.

It's half past two in the afternoon.

In the headquarters conference hall, in addition to researchers from several research institutes, Xu Yuan discovered that there was another familiar face present.

It was Yue Jinwei who had previously participated in the maiden flight of the domestically-made stealth fighter.

After everyone arrived, Lu Dongming took the initiative to say, "Commander Yue will also attend today's report meeting."

Upon hearing this, Yue Jinwei quickly waved his hand and said: "I'm just an auditor today. You just follow your own procedures and don't worry about me being here." The atmosphere in the lecture hall instantly became much more lively.

Xu Yuan was surprised but not shocked to see Yue Jinwei here.

After all, the current projects of the Aircraft Design Institute will all be put into service and trained in the future.

It is indeed normal for an air force commander to pay attention to the progress and parameters in advance.

Soon as the report meeting officially began, the Fengtian Aircraft Design Institute where Gao Yuhe worked was the first to give a report.

Xi'an Aircraft Industry Corporation followed closely behind.

And just as Xu Yuan knew, Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation's current main research and development projects are large transport aircraft and bombers. However, after seeing that the maximum range of their bombers is only seven or eight thousand kilometers, it is no wonder that Liang Zhanjun reacted so strongly after seeing his UAV plan yesterday.

Indeed, with a maximum range of tens of thousands of kilometers, it is hard to say whether it can still be called a drone.

"Our new bomber is still in the experimental stage. Theoretically, if it is refueled in the air, the maximum range of the bomber can reach 8,000 kilometers."

"We are also actively overcoming other technical difficulties and strive to achieve the first flight in the next two years."

At the podium next to the projection screen, Huang Yunliang introduced the bomber project of his own research institute.

Although he appeared calm on the outside, he was actually not very satisfied with the report.

The new bomber project was launched quite some time ago, but it has not yet achieved its first flight as there are still some technical problems that need to be solved.

In contrast, Jinfei's stealth fighter project completed its first flight just a few years after the project was launched.

In a few years, this type of fighter will be put into mass production and service, which will greatly enhance the strength of the Air Force.

And this is because Jinfei shared a lot of technology with them, otherwise their progress would be even slower.

However, it is possible that a genius like Xu Yuan may not be found for many years, so common sense cannot be used to judge. Therefore, it is undoubtedly very difficult to achieve the project research speed like Jin Fei.

Finally, he sighed imperceptibly and returned to Xifei's seat in the audience.

Then, everyone's eyes were all fixed on Xu Yuan with anticipation on their faces.

Even Yue Jinwei, who said he was attending the class as an auditor, was like this.

Because he had received news from Lu Dongming that Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute already had a new project, and the chief designer was Xu Yuan, who developed the stealth fighter.

This undoubtedly made him very excited.

After witnessing the world-leading powerful performance of the J-20, he praised Xu Yuan very much.

We hope that the other side can develop more advanced fighter jets so as to strengthen our air force and control the air domain.

I thought there wouldn't be any planes worth looking forward to in the short term, but turned out to be such a surprise.

So after receiving the news from Lu Dongming, he rushed over immediately.

I want to see with my own eyes what kind of project it is that Xu Yuan can be the chief designer of.

Xu Yuan did not pay attention to everyone's performance, and immediately walked to the reporting desk and opened his project plan.

Then report at your own pace.

"Our Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute has come up with a project proposal for a reconnaissance and strike drone."

Almost as soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, disappointment visibly appeared on the faces of Lu Dongming, Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang.

They were originally looking forward to the new project that Xu Yuan was in charge of, but they didn't expect it to be just a drone.

After all, the failure of Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute in developing drones was no secret within the group.

The performance it has is really useless.

When I saw that the new project Xu Yuan chose was drones, I subconsciously thought that Jincheng Research Institute had restarted its previous project.

"It's a shame that they chose to redevelop drones!"

Yue Jinwei didn't think that drones could play much of a role in combat, as victory or defeat would still depend on advanced fighter jets and bombers. He even had the idea of ​​asking Xu Yuan to give up this project.

On the other hand, Jia Yueguang, Liang Zhanjun, Shen Yamin and others from Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute always had smiles on their faces and looked confident.

It's hard to guess what's going on.

Xu Yuan naturally noticed everyone's performance, but he didn't care.

Let’s continue with the following.

"For this drone, we are positioning it to have long-range heavy loads and to perform multi-task processing."

"Under the drone system we developed, the aircraft has the ability to take off and land autonomously and cruise, as well as conduct air-to-ground coordinated operations."

"It is equipped with a variety of reconnaissance payloads, including visible light, infrared, and radar communication signals."

"We even envision that it can serve as the wingman of the J-20 to form a drone matrix for coordinated combat."

……

After listening to this, everyone in the lecture hall was interested in the reconnaissance and strike drone mentioned by Xu Yuan, but they frowned slightly about cooperating with the J-20 in combat.

I feel that this method of warfare is not feasible.

After all, no matter how many functions this drone has, it still cannot get rid of its useless parameters.

But just when everyone was immersed in disappointment, they saw the design plan on the projection screen finally turned the page.

It shows the specific aerodynamic layout and appearance design of this drone, as well as the expected performance parameters specially marked out.

"For this drone, I adopted a traditional aerodynamic layout with a high aspect ratio mid-wing."

"The wings have flaps and flaperons."

"In addition, I also adopted a special layout of wingtip winglets, which can reduce the induced drag at the wingtips of the aircraft, thereby increasing the flight stability and maximum range of the aircraft."

After hearing Xu Yuan's explanation, everyone subconsciously turned their eyes to the content on the projection screen.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it. As the above content comes into view, your pupils dilate instantly.

The expression on his face changed from disappointment to surprise, and then he looked a little confused and dazed.

Gao Yuhe's focus was on the wingspan of the drone. After coming to his senses, he subconsciously shouted:

"A drone with a wingspan of 24 meters, is this a joke?"

Huang Yunliang questioned the maximum range: "How can the range reach tens of thousands of kilometers? This is higher than the bombers we have." His face was full of disbelief as he spoke.

As for Yue Jinwei, he was attracted by the ammunition load.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

"There are nine pylons on the fuselage and wings, with a 2-ton external bomb bay and a 0.3-ton internal bomb bay."

"The cruising time is greater than forty hours."

His eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he had discovered a new world, and the contempt he had just shown completely disappeared.

A drone with such superior performance can no longer be simply called a drone.

After all, who would have thought that it could carry so much ammunition?

It's like an aerial bomb truck.

If used properly, even one drone like this could change the course of a battle.

Lu Dongming originally thought that the parameters of the appearance design that Xu Yuan came up with were probably similar to those of Jin Fei's previous failed case, but then he saw something.

With such terrifying performance parameters, you told me this is a drone.

After pausing for a few seconds to calm down, he couldn't help but ask about Xu Yuan.

"Xiao Xu, is the design you made really a drone?"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Xu Yuan could reply, Liang Zhanjun who was sitting below could not help but burst out laughing.

He knew clearly that his reaction when he first saw the design plan was no different from the chairman's current reaction.

Facing the chairman's questions, Xu Yuan stood on the stage and explained in detail with a smile on his face.

"Chairman."

"Of course this is a drone. Since we position this drone as a long-range heavy-load drone, it must meet these parameters."

"The aircraft is equipped with nine pylons, which can carry air-to-surface missiles, anti-ship missiles, air-dropped torpedoes and laser radar precision-guided bombs, etc. as needed."

"It can even launch a self-destruct attack through the built-in bomb bay when necessary."

When Yue Jinwei in the audience heard these words, he could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up and spoke excitedly.

“This drone is awesome, it’s exactly what we need right now.”

Seeing that this drone successfully impressed Yue Jinwei, Lu Dongming had to suppress his doubts and wait until Xu Yuan finished the report.

As a result, the atmosphere in the lecture hall became somewhat complicated.

Especially Gao Yuhe and Huang Yunliang.

At first I thought Xu Yuan's research on drones was a waste of talent, but unexpectedly he came up with a design that could be called a bomber.

No wonder Xu Yuan chose a failed project like drones as his first project as chief designer. It turns out that he has full confidence in his design plan.

Huang Yunliang is certain that if this drone is truly developed and can meet the expected parameter standards in the plan, the importance of domestic bombers will definitely decline.

After all, the performance of this drone is indeed excellent.

However, they couldn't help but worry about Xu Yuan, as developing such a drone is not an easy task.

At least if the plan was handed over to them, they would definitely not dare to give such expected parameters.

As time passed, Xu Yuan finally completed the proposal report for the new project.

Before he had time to return to his seat, he was surrounded by everyone as soon as he walked down.

"I am impressed again this time. Who would have thought that the drone you designed would have a longer range than our bombers?"

Huang Yunliang patted Xu Yuan on the shoulder and spoke first, and his words came completely from the heart.

Liang Zhanjun, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "When I first saw this design, I also asked whether it was a drone or a bomber."

"I knew you would give everyone a surprise every time." Gao Yuhe followed behind and echoed.

At this time, Lu Dongming asked seriously: "If you want the drone to reach this level, there are many problems. You must have thought it through." He was quite concerned about Xu Yuan's project.

"Don't worry, Chairman. Since we have decided to develop the most advanced drone in the world, we will definitely not be stumped by any difficulty."

"We will definitely ensure that we complete the task. Please rest assured, headquarters. If there are any problems, I, the director, will be there for you." Jia Yueguang promptly took over the words of Chairman Lu Dongming and issued a military order.

Lu Dongming was very happy to see that the entire institute was united.

I really hope Xu Yuan can develop this drone.

“Since you have confidence, I look forward to the launch of this world-leading drone.”

The next second Yue Jinwei also came over. He first thanked Xu Yuan for his contribution to the air force, and then mentioned the matter of the drone.

"Professor Xu."

"Thank you for your efforts and contributions to the development of our Air Force."

“I am looking forward to your drone.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan extended his hand and shook hands with the other party: "Don't worry, Commander Yue."

"I believe it won't be long before this drone appears in front of you."

Then when Yue Jinwei left early due to work, the group officially approved Jincheng's project application.

In other words, the drone project has been successfully approved and research can be started at any time.

Although they knew they would face many difficulties, Liang Zhanjun and his team were still eager to get started.

The next day, without staying too long at the group headquarters, they took the nearest flight back to Jincheng and began the preliminary research and development work on the drone according to Xu Yuan's design plan and arrangements.

Considering that it was January and the Chinese New Year was approaching, Xu Yuan had to bring his family to Yanjing to settle the engagement matter.

So he did not follow Liang Zhanjun and others back to Jincheng Research Institute.

Anyway, he had already arranged everything related to the project, so there was no need for him to be on site at the beginning.

……

After the New Year's Day holiday, Xu Yuan began to get busy with mathematics.

In addition to some activities arranged in the college, there is also the year-end summary meeting of the Journal of Mathematics.

As an editorial board member of the Journal of Mathematics, he will definitely participate.

The Chinese Journal of Mathematics has undergone tremendous changes over the past year, and has rapidly grown from a domestic journal with an impact factor of a few tenths to a well-known mathematics journal in the international mathematics community.

It has also been recognized by many well-known overseas universities, which can be said to be a milestone year.

The reason why the Journal of Mathematics could achieve this success was entirely due to Xu Yuan's proof of the Goldbach conjecture and his proposal to hold a mathematics exchange conference.

Therefore, at the summary meeting of the Journal of Mathematics, Ma Zhiming proposed to promote Xu Yuan's status as editorial board member to deputy editor-in-chief.

This proposal was also agreed by all editorial board members.

However, Xu Yuan did not accept it in the end and still retained his position as an editorial member.

Not to mention that the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the Journal of Mathematics are all academicians, he is currently also in charge of the institute's drone project and really cannot add more burden to himself.

So I had to politely decline Ma Zhiming's proposal.

Although Ma Zhiming felt a little regretful that Xu Yuan refused to serve as deputy editor-in-chief, he ultimately chose to respect his opinion.

Anyway, Xu Yuan is still very young, so there will be no problem if he takes over the Journal of Mathematics a few years later.

It is also worth mentioning that other domestic universities also invited him during this period, some to give public mathematics courses, and some to preside over mathematics activities organized by them.

As the value of the work was very limited and it was a waste of time, he handed all these trivial matters over to the hospital for handling.

Since I didn’t even participate in domestic activities, I naturally wouldn’t take any overseas ones.

After all, with his current fame and authority in the international mathematics community, he no longer needs to show up in public and become known to others.

On the contrary, it is those activities in the overseas mathematics community that require his participation to improve their value.

Soon it was late January, and there were only a few days left before the New Year's Eve and Spring Festival, when families would reunite.

Xu Yuan and Chen Yuran went to the station and successfully took Xu Yuan's parents and sister back to their house near Jinghuayuan. They agreed that the parents of both sides would meet on the day before New Year's Eve to finalize the marriage.

Although it was the first time that the parents of both sides met, the whole process was very smooth and harmonious because they were all satisfied with their son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

With the help of Xu Ying, the elder sister, who helps adjust the atmosphere, laughter and joy can be heard from time to time in the hotel private room.

Originally according to Xu Yuan's plan, he was going to go to Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute after the New Year to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

As a result, after the Spring Festival, when I went to visit my mother-in-law and father-in-law with gifts on the second day of the New Year, my father-in-law Chen Jianfang gave me a new task: to help calculate the docking orbit of the spacecraft and the experimental cabin.

And confirm the design of the experimental cabin.

Mainly because the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation has previously publicly stated that it wants to build its own space station to express its dissatisfaction with the restrictions on overseas aerospace technology.

In this case, the orbital docking technology required to build a space station is extremely important, and there must not be any mistakes.
