In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 382 These two women want to make the missile skip across the water in space.

"I knew you two would end up together, but you pretended to be completely uninvolved before... Pah!"

Xie Rou was not polite at all.

She was even more ruthless when it came to criticizing her own brother.

"Second Sister Xie, please watch your words."

"Comrade Xie Wei, I don't mind that you used to call me Xie Ermei; from now on, please consult me, Professor Xie, or Dr. Xie..."

Xie Rou reminded Xie Wei with a serious expression.

"..."

Xie Wei was surprised that Xie Rou had changed so much in the few years he hadn't seen her. He didn't know how the Institute of Mathematics and the National University of Defense Technology had educated Xie Rou, that she would even argue with him upon meeting him.
He was even more surprised to learn that Xie Rou had already obtained a doctoral degree!

She's only 21.

Zhu Shimei, who was with Xie Rou, was dumbfounded, while Mo Lingyu, who was next to her, covered her mouth and laughed. She was not angry because Xie Rou called her and Xie Wei a dog couple. She knew her sister-in-law's situation better than anyone else.

Perhaps they put all their talent into intelligence, leaving their emotional intelligence as a disadvantage.

"You've gone too far?"

Xie Wei said irritably, "You don't want funding anymore, huh? Fine, then go back to teaching and apply for projects from the school! I even told you that there was a satellite system project for you when you came back."

"Brother, brother, brother, I was wrong..."

What left Xie Wei speechless was that Xie Rou's expression changed instantly, completely abandoning her previous lack of emotional intelligence. "All these years, you haven't come to see me, nor have you let Mom come to see me... And my sister-in-law, she writes to me from America, constantly praising how powerful America is. I want to go see it, but you won't let me..."

The more she talked, the more aggrieved she felt.

Tears were even welling up in her eyes.

It was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard it, as if Xie Wei had abandoned her.

"Uh... well, you've been busy with your studies, and the projects you've been involved in these past few years have been constantly moving around..."

Xie Wei said awkwardly.

"I don't care! You've abandoned family ties for love, you've lost all humanity when it comes to the opposite sex... You have to make it up to me..."

"Stop! I'll go buy groceries in a bit and prepare a welcome feast for you!"

Xie Wei realized that Xie Rou's stern face earlier was an act, just to tell him about her achievements over the past few years.

"I love you~ Muah~"

Xie Rou immediately jumped up, hugged Xie Wei's neck, and gave him a kiss.

Zhu Shimei, who was already in a daze, was dumbfounded. Was this still the same learning machine who only had scientific research and papers in his eyes?
"You're over twenty years old, yet you act like a child. Move aside, I'm going to buy groceries."

Xie Wei pushed Xie Rou away impatiently.

This girl!
"Sister-in-law, when are you going to give me a nephew to play with?"

Xie Rou was pushed away by Xie Wei, then jumped in front of Mo Lingyu. With just one sentence, she made the unrestrained Mo Lingyu blush bright red, "I just got back..."

"Hurry up! I don't have any hobbies besides doing research these days, it's so boring. Kids should be a lot of fun, you just go ahead and have the baby, I'll help you take care of it..."

Dehua went live ahead of schedule.

"Hey little sister, you must be tired from your journey. Go to your room and rest with Zhu Xue-mei first. Your brother and I will go buy groceries."

"I want to eat a rooster, braised pork knuckle, boiled fish, and boiled sliced ​​pork..."

Xie Rou rattled off a list of dishes.

Mo Lingyu readily agreed and quickly fled.

Xie Rou is now even harder to approach than before.

"Is she really a PhD?"

After coming out, Mo Lingyu asked Xie Wei.

Xie Wei also wanted to ask this question. A doctorate? That's the highest degree in the world. Xie Rou reached the pinnacle of human education at the age of 21. Even if she's not as rigorous as the old professors, she should at least be a little more serious.

"We're husband and wife now!"

Mo Lingyu tried to take Xie Wei's hand, but Xie Wei dodged her. Dissatisfied, she grabbed his arm and forcefully took his hand. "Xie Rou is right, we need to work hard. I've decided, I'll get pregnant now, give birth next June, and have postpartum care during the summer vacation. It won't affect my work... Let's not wait until work gets busier and we don't have time to have a baby..."

Upon hearing the word "give birth," Xie Wei's legs trembled involuntarily.

My back hurts even more...

······
"Don't you still have three days of holiday left? It seems like your holiday is more tiring than if you didn't take a holiday at all!"

Looking at Xie Wei's severe dark circles, Zhang Mingqiu was surprised and wanted to remind Xie Wei that young people should be more restrained, but he didn't say it.

Xie Wei and Mo Lingyu have finally tied the knot after so many years. If they have a child soon, the child might inherit all the good qualities of both of them, not only being good-looking but also smarter.
That's something to look forward to!

"A ton of things to do! Xie Rou's back, right? What are the school's arrangements?"

Xie Wei ignored Zhang Mingqiu.

"Her master's degree is in mathematics, and her doctoral research focuses on Qian Xuesen's ballistics... The university is worried about how to arrange her career."

Liu Debao said with a distressed expression.

"Learn this stuff?"

Xie Wei was stunned.

However, considering that Zhu Xuejun, the big shot who made missiles skip across the water in space, was lured away by Xie Rou, he was not surprised at all. Both of them were students of Qian Xuesen and studied Qian Xuesen's ballistics, so it was not surprising.

"Regarding aerospace automatic control, we discussed it and felt that it would be a waste of talent to have her teach automatic control in the aerospace engineering department. She has a PhD, and the university is considering having her lead projects and supervise related graduate students. What do you think?"

Zhang Mingqiu kept observing Xie Wei's reaction.

Xie Rou already had the ability to independently manage projects while she was still in school. After further studies at the Institute of Computing and the National University of Defense Technology for several years, her level of expertise can be seen from the fact that the National University of Defense Technology was unwilling to let her go.

young?

No qualifications?

Over the years, Harbin Institute of Technology has become a place where "the capable rise and the incompetent fall" due to its project approval process, demands for research results, and requirements for funding.

Insufficient ability?

No problem, there's no need to work on any more projects. Just focus on teaching and building students' foundational knowledge.

"Okay. But she'll have to take math lessons in my class..."

Xie Wei thought about it and felt that Xie Rou should work on the project with Zhu Xuejun. If the two had different ideas, they should work on different projects.

Xie Wei didn't want Xie Rou to bring Zhu Xuejun, the woman who caused missiles to miss their targets in space and was feared by the West, to Harbin Institute of Technology, only to have her research direction change.

It can be sped up!

"Then you'll have to discuss it with her."

Seeing that Xie Wei did not object, Zhang Mingqiu, Liu Debao, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, Xie Wei, what about Mo Lingyu's work arrangements?"

Seeing Xie Wei preparing to leave, the two who had been waiting for him to ask Mo Lingyu about her work arrangements became anxious when they realized he wasn't going to ask at all.

Both Mo Lingyu and Xie Rou were close to Xie Wei.

The school can't make arrangements.

If the arrangements are not made well, Xie Wei might get upset.

Xie Rou didn't even bother to report her arrival.

When Mo Lingyu arrived, she was asked about her thoughts on the job. She replied directly that she would follow the organization's arrangements, which made sense, but the organization was not good at making arrangements.

"The school has been expanding in recent years, and with so many projects, the teaching workload is quite heavy. Let her take on teaching duties for now. As for her major, we'll arrange it based on the school's needs and her academic background." "Not as your assistant?"

Zhang Mingqiu looked stunned.

He wasn't trying to give Mo Lingyu an easy job. The school needs people everywhere, and Mo Lingyu has studied abroad for several years, so we can't let that go to waste.

Because Xie Wei's work involves almost all the research projects in the university, and sometimes he has to participate in them himself.

This places very high demands on the assistant.

At least I can understand what Xie Wei is saying.

"No need. I haven't had an assistant for so many years, and it hasn't affected my work at all. As for travel, Chu Yunlong and the others have arranged it, so there's no problem at all."

Xie Wei shook his head.

He didn't know if the two old men were testing his attitude.

Mo Lingyu had just returned, and even if it were believable, it was impossible for her to have access to the school's most core secret projects from the very beginning. Back then, Li Ruina valued Xie Wei and was determined to groom him as the principal's successor. The school's secret projects existed before that, but Xie Wei was not allowed to access them at that time either.

“Okay. Knowing she was coming back, the school opened a new Information and Communication Engineering major this year.”

"Industrial Engineering will add a course in Informatics next semester. It will be taught by Mo Lingyu."

Xie Wei did not object to the school's arrangements.

Mo Lingyu herself was aware of this, so she would only apply for new projects in her own major, instead of asking to participate in the school's core classified projects as soon as she returned.

"Do you have a grudge against your classmates? The Class of '82 is graduating a year late. At this rate, it seems like your students will have to study for five years. Maybe the school should change the industrial engineering program to five years?"

Xie Wei kept adding more majors to industrial engineering, and the key point was that he couldn't allow students to only grasp a little bit of the basics. It could be said that this was even more abnormal than the experimental class back then.

Even Tan Heping couldn't stand it anymore.

"Absolutely. Industrial engineering has too much content and is too complicated."

Xie Wei completely ignored Tan Heping's questioning.

We're short-staffed!

Especially high-level talents from interdisciplinary fields.

Xie Wei knows his own level; he is unlikely to reach the level of an academician in terms of professional skills. However, he understands the technical foundations of various industries, so he now focuses more on the research of management methods for complex systems engineering.

The current research findings are also having a significant impact.

"..."

The group was taken aback by Xie Wei's shamelessness and fell silent.

After Xie Wei returned, he told the others what had happened, and then looked at the woman who was most feared by the West.

The current big shot is only 24 years old, and his handsome face shows no signs of aging.

According to Xie Wei's information, Zhu Xuejun will not graduate from the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology next year with a master's degree in rocket overall design, and will then be assigned to work in the overall department's workshop.

He wouldn't start serving as the chief designer of the model until after 94.

"Director Xie, is there a problem?"

Seeing Xie Wei staring blankly at her, Junior Sister Zhu asked.

"Are you working on the project with Xie Rou, or are you conducting independent research on your own?"

"what?"

This left the latter stunned.

Is it possible to start a project immediately after graduating with a master's degree and joining a new company?
Never heard of it.

"Brother, how much funding can you provide?"

Xie Rou knew the situation at the school. She never intended to follow the school's procedures to apply for funding. If that were the case, why would she return to Harbin Institute of Technology?

You can also apply to aerospace or national universities of defense.

"It depends on the project."

"Develop a missile that utilizes Qian Xuesen's ballistic trajectory!"

Xie Rou answered without hesitation, then asked expectantly, "How much can you give? There's no limit?"

"No limit what you think! The school doesn't have much money right now."

Xie Wei said speechlessly, "Besides, in the early stages you were just doing theoretical research, so how much funding would you need?"

"Director Xie, is it really that easy for the school to get projects approved?"

Finally, the expert couldn't help but ask his question.

The more she listened, the more uneasy she felt.

She was supposed to go to school to register today, but what she saw and heard while following Xie Rou completely overturned her previous understanding.

"It's already difficult, but I've heard that the school is now very strict about approving projects. Many projects with large investments and slow reporting are only given a portion of the funding for theoretical research, unlike in the early days when projects were approved easily and had ample funding..."

Xie Rou explained.

Before the latter could ask, she continued, "But my brother is a bit special... As long as he supports a project, the school will support it... He was the one who set up the university-enterprise cooperation office... Many projects were carried out with his support..."

"Can you really provide funding to research Qian Xuesen's ballistics?"

That's exactly why I came here, Boss Zhu.

She was always a little uneasy, because neither the National University of Defense Technology nor the First Academy supported the project, so she could only do theoretical research on her own first.

As it turned out, Xie Rou, who had studied under Qian Xuesen before her, said that Harbin Institute of Technology had a related project, so she came here.

Why study this?

Xie Wei asked.

"Didn't the Americans launch the Star Wars program to build a missile defense system? Since conventional ballistic missiles can be intercepted by calculating their trajectories, wouldn't it be impossible to intercept missiles if they used the Qian Xuesen trajectory, constantly skipping across the water in space, making their trajectory untraceable? Professor Qian was very supportive of our research in this area..."

"I hope the big boss will speak calmly," said the man.

"Only when our missiles cannot be intercepted will the country be truly safe!"

"Yes. Only by wielding a powerful sword can a country truly be safe!"

Xie Rou waved her fist and gritted her teeth, saying, "And the synergistic application of high-precision ballistic design, cross-medium flight control, advanced materials and guidance technology is equally applicable to civilian rockets, and may even be more technically challenging..."

Xie Wei looked at her in surprise, realizing that Xie Rou still held onto her original dream of going to heaven.

"Theoretical research is currently supported, and this is the only area of ​​research you can conduct... Even if you design it, it won't be easy to prove. To develop a missile with this waverider configuration that can generate a gliding effect in near space, you would need at least a hypersonic wind tunnel with a speed of Mach 20 or higher..."

Xie Wei paused for a moment after saying this.

Let them digest it.

Since they're going to develop missiles that skip across water, let's speed them up.

If we develop all the necessary preliminary technologies in advance, and the country has the funds to build a hypersonic wind tunnel laboratory, then we can develop a hypersonic missile that skips across water at least 15 years ahead of schedule.

"The design and implementation of the boost phase, including core aspects such as multi-stage rocket separation timing control, maintaining the accuracy of the inertial navigation system, and thermodynamic protective materials, can be addressed with some effort given China's current rocket technology reserves. However, the glide phase, due to the need for cross-medium flight, presents extremely significant challenges in ballistic control technology..."

"Director Xie, are you familiar with this?"

When Zhu heard Xie Wei introduce the key technology, he looked shocked.

"He knows a little about everything, but he only studies it briefly before forgetting about it..."

Xie Rou said irritably, "If my brother could delve into a certain field, he might become an academician before he turns 40."

My dear sister, you overestimate me!
