Chapter 222 You Conquered This Technology
In response to Chen Jianfang's reminder, Xu Yuan nodded and immediately expressed that he would attend on time.

After finishing the meal, he did not leave immediately.

He took the initiative to help clean up the dishes, and was then called to the study by Chen Jianfang, where the two discussed issues related to the space station.

It was not until after eight o'clock in the evening that he and Chen Yuran drove back to their residence in Qinghuayuan.

New Year's Day passed in a flash.

The much anticipated annual meeting of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation was officially held.

In addition to summarizing the projects completed within the year, the rest of the meeting was the announcement of the group's internal awards list.

Among them, the Space Merit Award is said to have a prize of one million. Since its establishment, only a few astronauts have been able to receive it, and it has also attracted the attention of netizens outside.

After all, if we count all the domestic awards, there are not many that can reach a million in prize money except the highest science and technology award.

The winner in the minds of netizens is undoubtedly Xu Yuan.

If it were before, Xu Yuan had not yet been officially added to the Space Technology Research Institute as a researcher, he would definitely not be eligible to participate in the award selection within the Aerospace Science and Technology Group, but now the situation is completely different.

Whether participating in the lunar exploration satellite project, proposing orbit phase adjustment and upgrading the satellite thermal control system.

It is still necessary to establish two major models and thoroughly master the technology of autonomous rendezvous and docking of space vehicles.

Lay a solid foundation for the construction of the space station.

Naturally qualified to receive this award.

Therefore, on the day of the annual summary and awards ceremony, related hot searches appeared on Weibo.

Many netizens discussed this in the comment section.

"This year's Space Merit Award should be given to Professor Xu. I heard there is a prize of one million."

"I also feel that it is very likely to be given to Xu Shen."

"Without Professor Xu's participation in the project, our space station planning would not be as smooth as it is now."

"Speaking of which, Xu Shen has just become a senior professor and is about to win the highest award in the aerospace field. Does it feel like he will be admitted to the Academy of Sciences soon?"

"It's still early for him to become an academician. It's only a matter of time anyway."

"Looking at the time, the results should be announced soon. I wonder if Xu Shen will post a Weibo."

……

Friday, January 2011, 1, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Lecture Hall.

Xu Yuan didn't know that netizens were already concerned about whether he could win the award. After he and Chen Jianfang, Gao Duo and other staff from the Space Technology Research Institute successfully entered the venue, he was taken around by Chen Jianfang to greet people.

There are several major research institutes under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, among which there are a large number of academicians and outstanding researchers.

And most of them have never seen it.

Chen Jianfang also wanted him to get to know more people in the group.

Therefore, he was very cooperative throughout the whole process. Since Chen Jianfang was there to introduce things, it didn't feel awkward at all.

After greeting several academicians, Chen Jianfang suddenly pulled him and walked quickly towards a middle-aged lady wearing glasses and with neat short black hair not far away.

As soon as he approached, he put on a smile and introduced himself.

"This is the director of the research laboratory of the design department of the Rocket Technology Research Institute."

"Professor Zhu Xuejun."

After listening to Chen Jianfang's introduction, Xu Yuan immediately felt admiration for Professor Zhu.

Being a woman and being able to serve as the director of a laboratory at the Rocket Technology Research Institute shows that she has a high level of professionalism.

The same type of person as Wang Xiaoyun.

You should know that the Rocket Technology Research Institute is also known as the First Research Institute of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

It can be said to be the birthplace of China's aerospace industry.

It is also the oldest and largest missile weapon and launch vehicle R&D, testing and production base.

The first dean was Mr. Qian.

In terms of both strength and qualifications, it is superior to the Space Technology Research Institute and the Magic City Aerospace Technology Research Institute.

His thought lingered here as he quickly came to his senses and politely extended his hand to say hello.

"Good morning, Professor."

"The people led by Lao Chen are all excellent, but you are the great contributor. Everyone in the group knows you now." Zhu Xuejun put on a smile and shook hands with Xu Yuan without any hesitation in praising him.

Judging from the address and words used, the other party was obviously familiar with Chen Jianfang.

When Xu Yuan heard this, he was a little humble in front of his senior.

"Thank you for the compliment, Professor Zhu. Without your help, I would not be able to complete the task on my own."

Zhu Xuejun: "I hope to have the opportunity to work with a genius like you."

"Professor Zhu is a leader in the field of missile design." Chen Jianfang took the lead and added a sentence.

Xu Yuan readily agreed: "I am looking forward to it too."

The design of missiles also requires mathematics and fluid mechanics, which in some ways can be considered a professional match.

In addition, there has been no progress in the derivation of the Hodge conjecture, so trying new things can help spark inspiration.

Xu Yuan did not stay for too long. He greeted Zhu Xuejun again and followed Chen Jianfang to the crowd next to him. Finally, half an hour before the conference officially started, he had recognized most of the main personnel of several research institutes.

Just as they returned to their seats and waited for the meeting to begin, He Luping came over to them.

There was a bright smile on his face, as if something happy had happened.

Before I could open my mouth to speak, I heard Chen Jianfang asking first.

"What's wrong, Lao He? You're so happy today. Did you know that you won the Meritorious Service Award?"

After hearing this, He Luping immediately waved his hand and said, "I haven't thought about this year's meritorious award. Let's leave more opportunities for the young people in the hospital." After saying this, he did not forget to look at Xu Yuan deliberately.

Xu Yuan met this gaze, and although he didn't say much, he felt both amused and helpless in his heart.

It was clear that he had not received any news or notification from the group regarding the Space Merit Award.

Even this award was informed by Chen Jianfang.

As a result, other people in the hospital seemed to have received inside information and believed that this year's Merit Award belonged to him.

Now even He Luping from the Shanghai Aerospace Technology Research Institute says so.

Deep down, it would be absolutely false to say that he had no idea about the meritorious service award with a prize money of one million.

In addition to symbolizing the highest honor in the aerospace field, the prize money of one million is also real.

You should know that the Gauss Prize and Fields Medal he won previously did not receive much prize money other than the medals.

This is the first time I have encountered a prize of up to one million.

Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Chen Jianfang continue to ask He Luping curiously.

"Then tell me what happy event happened?"

He Luping did not keep anyone in suspense about this. He immediately started to explain with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I just got some good news. Next year, our high-performance carbon fiber composite materials will be put into mass production, which can fully meet the needs of our aerospace equipment."

"Speaking of which, I was also very surprised when I first learned about this situation."

“I didn’t expect that China’s production technology for high-performance carbon fiber composites would be developed so quickly.”

He is naturally very clear about what the advancement of materials means to many industries.

That's why I didn't intentionally control my emotions and wanted to pass on this joy to other people present.

However, He Luping soon discovered that after he finished telling this story, Xu Yuan and Chen Jian in front of him looked very calm.

There was no sign of surprise.

This is obviously not normal.

As a genius, Xu Yuan did not think that the progress of materials was difficult. He could even express his understanding, and his expression was a little calmer, which was normal. However, something was not right with Chen Jianfang.

With doubts in his mind, he naturally did not keep them to himself and immediately took the initiative to ask.

"Why do you all have this expression? Did you know it a long time ago?"

After all, He Luping is from the Magic City Aerospace Technology Research Institute. Since he is not in Yanjing, it is inevitable that he will be slower in getting some news.

What's more, high-performance carbon fiber composite materials are strictly speaking a project of the School of Materials Science and Engineering of Yenching University.

If you don't take the initiative to inquire about the situation, it will indeed take time to overcome the technical problems and achieve mass production.

Seeing the doubt on He Luping's face, Xu Yuan had to take the initiative to explain: "It's like this, Academician He, in fact, high-performance carbon fiber composite materials were researched by Academician Zhang Jin of Yenching University and I, and we successfully mastered the manufacturing technology last year."

"what?"

"You mean the high-performance carbon fiber composite material technology that you conquered?"

After hearing all of Xu Yuan's words, He Luping was immediately surprised and asked two questions in disbelief.

Mainly in his impression, Xu Yuan is very talented in mathematics and has achieved many results, and the rest is his participation in project research in aviation and aerospace engineering.

I never thought that I could study composite materials.

And successfully conquered the technology.

Chen Jianfang looked at He Luping's surprised expression, but he seemed quite proud in his heart.

After all, anyone who sees a colleague praising his or her son-in-law will have the same expression.

"You don't know this, Lao He. Xu Yuan is also very talented in the field of materials."

"In fact, there is a project I am in charge of at Jincheng Aircraft Research Institute, which requires higher performance carbon fiber composite materials." Xu Yuan smiled and took over Chen Jianfang's words and said, "I just happened to learn that Academician Zhang Jin of Yenching University was conducting research in this area, so I simply participated in it, and fortunately, I successfully mastered the manufacturing technology."

"So that's what's going on. It looks like our country has gained another outstanding researcher in the field of materials."

He Luping found out the details and looked at Xu Yuan with even more relief and satisfaction.

At the same time, he felt more and more that getting Xu Yuan into the aerospace field was probably the best thing Chen Jianfang had ever done in his life.

Of course, the highlight of today is the Space Merit Award, and the current exchanges can only be regarded as a minor episode.

Soon, as all the staff were seated, Group Chairman Guo Dongxiao and the invited leaders came to the stage, and this special annual meeting of the Aerospace Group officially began.

After Guo Dongxiao gave his first speech, the conference followed the procedure to first summarize the project results of the previous year, commend the outstanding project teams, and then announced the list of Aerospace Merit Awards.

At this time, everyone's attention was spontaneously focused on Xu Yuan.
