The military-industrial scientific research system of the academic master.

Chapter 875 Equipment Ready
After the test, Chang Haonan and his team did not leave Hailar immediately.

The entire team has been enduring the severe cold for several days in a row.

Although the temperature did not reach as low as -40℃ in the past few days, it was basically stable at around -35℃.

The indoor temperature of the local central heating is often above 20℃ or even 30℃.

Staying up late, coupled with frequent cycles of hot and cold, is a huge burden on the body.

Young people may not be too bad if they have to take long-distance flights, but older people really can't stand it.

So on the second day, except for the J-11WS and Il-76 aircraft that participated in the test and returned to Shengjing overnight, the others rested in the local hotel for a whole day.

By the way, we also enjoyed a meal of local specialty roasted whole lamb arranged by Deputy Station Master Wei Qiang.

After another day, everyone who had rested said goodbye to the prairie.

After that, there is a relatively boring round of clerical and administrative work.

In addition to finalizing the design work, 2000 was the first full natural year after the establishment of the Aviation Power Group, and Chang Haonan, as the chief planner, had to conduct a comprehensive work summary.

In addition, although the WS-10 project research and development team has been retained, the most difficult and most manpower-demanding research and development phase has ended.

It is time for the forces "borrowed" from sister units to end this business trip that has lasted for several years and return to their original units.

And Chang Haonan needs to evaluate the performance of quite a number of them.

You know, he is not only one of the project leaders of WS-10, but also a member of the leadership team at the group level.

Generally speaking, this kind of evaluation will be written into the file and affect the person being evaluated throughout his or her life.

So Chang Haonan did not dare to neglect it.

In short, by the time he completed the tasks at hand and returned to the capital, it was already late December.

The year 2001 is coming.

It was the turn of the century, the end of the year, and we returned victorious.

A celebration banquet is definitely indispensable.

In fact, when the plane was still circling over the airport waiting to land, Chang Haonan had already seen the banners, ribbons and flowers prepared on the apron.

The banquet was held directly in the conference hall.

Of course, after the de-bureaucratization reform of state-owned enterprises, this can only be regarded as a normal business behavior within the Aviation Power Group.

So we followed the business leasing process.

Except for Chief Accountant Wen Kangjian who was very busy due to the year-end, all other group leaders including General Manager Zhu Linyu showed up.

They even invited Deputy Director Zhang Hongbiao, who had met Chang Haonan once before.

The specifications are full.

And Chang Haonan is naturally the absolute protagonist.

In fact, this is not the first time that Aviation Power Group has held a celebration banquet.

About half a year ago, when the design of the WP-6D was finalized, the group held a special celebration.

A press release was also issued at that time.

However, the WP-6D can only be installed on the Q5D.

A short, flat and fast transition model used to prevent local conflicts with powerful enemies in the late 90s.

Later, due to the early service of the JH-7A, it was eventually included in the technical reserve and was not actually mass-produced.

Therefore, although it was the first model to be finalized after the establishment of the group, it still cannot be compared with the WS-10.

After all, the latter can be regarded as the starting point of a new era for China Aero Engine Corporation.

"Comrade Haonan, I heard that in the past week, the number of project applications submitted by various factories has exceeded that of the past 11 and a half months combined."

Zhang Hongbiao held up his wine glass and clinked glasses with Zhu Linyu and Chang Haonan respectively.

"Do you have any idea about this matter?"

Although this is a question, it is obviously not intended to really get any result.

The answer is obvious.

Therefore, before Chang Haonan could answer, Zhu Linyu beside him said: "The WS-10 is like a university for our Aviation Power Group."

"In the past few years, everyone was studying in school, so there wasn't much to do. Now, we have finally graduated!"

Originally, these words were just to cooperate with Zhang Hongbiao.

As a result, Zhu Linyu actually felt a bit like a parent who raised his child until he graduated from college and saw his child get his first salary...

After all, in terms of age, he is indeed a generation older than most people after being rehired after retirement.

And for some young people, it can even be two generations apart...

Faced with the two people's unanimous flattery, Chang Haonan can now accept it all without batting an eyelid.

Even able to counterattack:
"Director Zhang, General Manager Zhu, we have just completed the triumphant return of the WS-10, and we are at our most enthusiastic. Now that we have more projects, we can't neglect the funding. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a disappointment to our comrades?"

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, and then raised their glasses at the same time:
"Cheers, cheers..."

"Let's not talk about work today..."

Just kidding, if there were only three or five projects, the two of them would have just gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, closed their eyes, and agreed to it.

However, there have been nearly twenty applications submitted in recent days. The number is too large. Even if many of them are just improvements on old models, or new models not large in size, it is impossible to approve all of them.

I had to avoid the question.

……

After temporarily finishing these on-site work, Chang Haonan finally had some time to prepare to verify his new ideas.

During the time when he was dealing with the design and finalization of the WS-10, the delegation that had been sent to Europe to purchase experimental equipment also brought back good news.

In particular, the two most important electron microscopes in materials research were delivered before the New Year.

Outside the Fifth Ring Road, at the new site of the Torch Laboratory.

Chang Haonan brought several members of the research team who were currently in Beijing to the analysis center located in the basement of the main building.

"I go……"

Li Yabo, who had been squeezing into a laboratory with others at the school headquarters for half a year, was shocked by the environment as soon as he entered the door:
“Is this where we’re going to do the experiment?”

"Is this...so big?"

"We have more and more projects on hand, and the scale of the laboratory will definitely increase, so these are not only for now, but also for preparation for the future."

Chang Haonan walked to an electron microscope, turned around and explained:

"If nothing else, at least some of the equipment requires specialized operators. If we just rely on ourselves to figure it out, the efficiency is too low and it is easy to make mistakes."

"So... we don't need to do these tests ourselves?"

Yao Mengna came from Du Yishan's research group and considered herself knowledgeable, but today's scene... could only be described as something she had never seen before.

Chang Haonan smiled:

"If you have extra energy, you can definitely learn it. After all, it's always good to have more skills."

"But the focus of our research is still on new theories, or turning theories into meaningful ideas, rather than just being an emotionless tester or experimenter, which is something that undergraduates doing graduation projects can do."

When Chang Haonan mentioned "undergraduate students working on graduation projects", Yao Mengna almost involuntarily raised her eyes and glanced at him.

"So, teacher, what is the specific project we are going to do next?"

Li Yabo walked around the laboratory twice and then returned to Chang Haonan.

"It's the spot we discovered before."

Chang Haonan replied:

"Short-pulse lasers can process materials through some non-thermal effects."

"However, after I looked up some information, I found that compared to carbon-based composite materials, this method seems to be more suitable for... metals."
