Chapter 220 Second Level Senior Professor
Based on the previous attitude of overseas towards the development of domestic space industry, the six-year space station construction plan announced by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation should attract extensive coverage from overseas media.

Especially the ridicule from NASA and the Austrian Space Administration.

Because before the Shenzhou spacecraft and Tiangong-1 successfully docked, they did something similar.

It is not uncommon in China.

However, after the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation held a press conference, announced the successful mastery of rendezvous and docking technology, and released the six-year construction plan for the Tiangong space station, some unexpected changes seemed to have quietly taken place in the international aerospace field.

Media such as Reuters, the Times and the New York Times only briefly reported the content of the press conference.

He did not laugh at or question the situation as loudly as before, and firmly believed that it was impossible to build a second space station on his own.

Even the European Space Agency and NASA have remained silent, in a rare move.

In the end, no one spoke publicly.

It seems that the successful docking test between the Shenzhou spacecraft and Tiangong-1 has allowed them to truly witness the aerospace technology possessed by China.

With such a fast development speed, we may be able to build the world's second space station.

Even if the construction time for final use exceeds six years.

Before Fwork went to NASA, he still had the intention of going to war to find an accomplice.

He wanted Bolsons and Setway to give him a reasonable explanation as to why his original judgment had deviated so drastically.

But after spending a few hours at NASA, he left feeling completely calm.

He learned more from NASA and realized that their aerospace technology had developed beyond expectations. Although six years was still unimaginable, he had to admit that they did have the ability to build the world's second space station.

This made him feel a little regretful, as if he had made a wrong decision.

After all, if we had agreed to the other party joining the construction of the International Space Station before, the new space station might not have appeared.

It will not affect the interests of the members participating in the International Space Station.

But now there is no way to change it.

However, they finally reached a consensus with the Ouang Air Bureau and imposed further restrictions on the Aerospace Science and Technology Group.

Especially the export of special aerospace materials and aerospace components.

The meaning is very clear. Even if you have the technology to build a space station independently, you must find a way to slow down the construction progress as much as possible.

When the official signing of the relevant documents was reported, the news quickly spread into the country and attracted public attention.

However, due to the repeated success of domestic aerospace technology development, the domestic space station construction plan was directly announced.

This gives us unprecedented confidence in aerospace.

No one took the document seriously at all, and many netizens even made sarcastic comments about the document.

I believe that even if the space station is 100% domestically produced, it can still be built smoothly.

"No wonder the overseas aerospace sector has been so quiet these days. It seems that they are not angry about our space station. It turns out that they are doing this kind of trick behind the scenes."

"That's all they have."

"Trust the Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and it will be done. If there is anything missing, we can just research it ourselves."

"It's just a special aerospace material. We can definitely get it done with some time."

"We have already made up our mind about the construction of the Tiangong space station, and the progress will not be affected by anything."

"Don't worry, everyone. Once our space station is put into use, they will beg us for help."

"Do you think that the higher-ups didn't anticipate this kind of tactic in advance?"

……

Xu Yuan naturally also saw the discussion among netizens on Weibo, and he was not surprised at all by the actions of the Aerospace Administration. After all, this was not the first time such a thing had been done.

But as netizens said, there is nothing to worry about.

Not to mention the core module and experimental module of the space station, all of them have been domestically designed and manufactured.

Combined with the high-performance carbon fiber composite material technology that has just been mastered, it can fully meet the needs of aerospace equipment.

It is no exaggeration to say that the construction of the Tiangong space station does not require any external help.

In other words, the documents jointly signed by the other party will have no effect.

Since they had accumulated enough experience in spacecraft and were proficient in autonomous rendezvous and docking, all they needed to do next was to manufacture the components of the space station and launch and dock them. There was no need for Xu Yuan to stay at the Space Technology Research Institute to help.

Time quickly entered November.

During this period, he first went to Jincheng Aircraft Design Institute to determine the progress of the UAV project with Liang Zhanjun.

In the end, we learned that the situation was going very smoothly. According to the manufacturing status of high-performance carbon fiber composite materials and the research and development and manufacturing of the turboprop engine by Xijing Aero Engine Group, if nothing unexpected happens, the first flight test of the UAV will be carried out next year.

It can be said that we can already foresee when this aerial bomb truck drone, which is comparable to a bomber, comes out.

What a shock it will bring to the world.

In the middle of the month, Xu Yuan returned to Qinghua University and was just thinking about whether he should fulfill the wishes of the students in the School of Mathematics.

I will take advantage of my free time now to offer a few open classes and help guide math papers.

After all, he didn't forget his job.

But before he could go find Liao Fangyi, he saw Liao Fangyi coming to him with a bright smile on his face.

"Director Liao."

Xu Yuan noticed the other person's figure, and quickly stood up from his chair and took the initiative to greet him.

The voice just fell.

He also noticed that Tang Shihong was following behind him.

Then he turned his head and said, "Teacher, you are here too." "Hurry and sit down."

Soon Xu Yuan asked the two to sit down on the sofa in the office, and walked to the water dispenser to pour two glasses of water.

After he sat down next to him, he started to ask about the business.

"Director Liao is here today. Is there something going on in the hospital?"

Hearing this, Liao Fangyi did not keep the person in suspense. He continued to explain in detail with a smile on his face.

"There is something, but it's not about the hospital, it's about you."

At the end, he didn't forget to add a few more sentences.

"Good thing."

After listening to Liao Fangyi's words, Xu Yuan suddenly became quite curious.

I don’t know what good thing I have now.

But since Tang Shihong and Liao Fangyi came together, judging from past experience it should indeed be a good thing.

"About me?"

Just as he repeated the sentence casually, Liao Fangyi suddenly turned around and took out a red certificate from the bag.

While handing it over with both hands, he said:

"Because you won the Fields Medal in Mathematics and brought glory to the country, the school decided to promote you to the rank of Second Class Full Professor in advance and appoint you as a senior professor of the School of Mathematics and the Qinghua Institute for Advanced Studies."

After hearing these words, Xu Yuan felt somewhat surprised.

After graduating with a doctorate, he was directly hired as a fourth-level full professor because of his achievements in mathematics.

You know how many scholars are stuck at the position of associate professor, and some cannot even become full professor until retirement.

But he did it right after graduation.

He is also a full professor at the School of Mathematics at Qinghua University.

I don’t know how many scholars envy me.

According to the professor grading system, it ranges from level 4 full professor to level 1 full professor.

In addition to having significant project results, qualifications are also very important.

It often takes a sufficient amount of time at this level to meet the requirements for advancement.

As for the second-level full professor, he is second only to the first-level professor and is a figure close to the master level in the academic world.

In most cases, they are the main persons in charge of university research institutes.

For example, Tang Shihong is currently a second-level full professor.

As he has participated in the research and development of so many key projects, he is naturally qualified to obtain the title of second-level professor, but he has been a professor for a relatively short time.

Unexpectedly, the school gave him the green light and he was promoted directly from level 4 to level 2 full professor.

In addition, he was hired as a senior professor.

You should know that senior professors are the core force of a university, including those first-level professors and academicians.

And the number of places is very limited.

To some extent, it also shows that the hospital values ​​him.

In fact, he had heard Liao Fangyi mention this matter before, but he didn't expect the school to be so efficient.

His thought stayed here, but his hands did not stop. He immediately took the certificate from Liao Fangyi.

Seeing this, Tang Shihong was also happy for Xu Yuan. He smiled and couldn't help but talk about it.

"This is the first time I've seen such a young second-level senior professor. You're unique across the country. Maybe in the future we'll see a 30-year-old academician of the Academy of Sciences."

I think I am almost at retirement age, but now I am only a second-level full professor in the School of Mathematics.

As a result, Xu Yuan caught up with him in just a few years.

There is a feeling that I have wasted my time.

Fortunately, this person was a student I taught, and I felt relieved instantly.

"Xu Yuan is still the project leader in the aerospace system. Maybe he will become an academician of the Academy of Engineering in the future." Liao Fangyi took over Tang Shihong's words and said after thinking for a while.

Xu Yuan doesn't really care which type of academician he becomes first. After all, it is not impossible to be an academician of two academies.

The key is to become a second-level senior professor and be eligible to apply for election as an academician.

Although this often requires multiple rounds of applications, first becoming a candidate for academician and then being selected as an academician.

Xu Chongxing and Chen Jianfang, who have become academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, were recommended by the academy and became candidates after multiple rounds of applications.

However, he still had confidence in himself. Since professors could be promoted to academicians as an exception, he could do the same.

Perhaps, as Tang Shihong said, he can really become the youngest academician at the age of thirty.

In the following time, Xu Yuan took the initiative to treat and invited all the teachers in the college to dinner in the evening, so that everyone could share in the good news and get promoted soon.

In addition, he also specifically expressed to Liao Fangyi his idea of ​​opening an open class.

Liao Fangyi was very excited when he learned about this, and he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would arrange it right away.

After all, although Xu Yuan is a professor in the School of Mathematics, he has no teaching assignments and sometimes does not spend much time in the school.

Under such circumstances, every time an open class is held, it will be crazily sought after by students.
