The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 205, Heroes of the Republic (Subscription Request)
April 1982, Mathematical Faculty Building, University of Cambridge, Great Britain.

"God, I want to go to the East. I can't stay here and waste my time any longer."

After reading the six papers in the sixth issue of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal, Severubk let out a wail and then said this.

Bonaventura Pierce, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but criticize him when he heard this:
"Sevi, I know you're anxious, but why don't you first check the qualifications of people like Yorkz and Bochelz?"

"You want to write a high-quality paper, and you want Professor Wang's guidance. Haha, you don't even consider whether you can do it yourself. Do you think you will succeed if you go to Harbin Institute of Technology?"

"You will never understand the world of geniuses, so you'd better stay here."

They are all top students at Cambridge University. They have overcome many obstacles and finally graduated with a doctorate from Cambridge University.

But even between PhDs, the gap is as huge as heaven and earth.

"What? Am I destined to be mediocre for the rest of my life?"

Severubk was very unwilling and his face became a little ferocious.

Before Bonavent could continue speaking, the door was pushed open and Augustine Leighton walked in, smiling and asking:
"What are you guys talking about? Oh, you're still reading this journal? To be honest, the six papers here are all of very high quality. I'm also studying them, but as you know, the field of number theory is really too vast and boundless. Alas, it's difficult..."

When the three of them get together, there's a lot to talk about.

Because all three of them were PhDs in mathematics, they stayed at Cambridge University after graduation. However, as time went on, this matter did not seem so simple.

A lot of news came from the East, and now they are gradually getting restless.

They had all heard of Yorkz, because ever since he became Wang Duoyu's student, information about him had spread everywhere, so everyone had heard of him.

He is still so young, but he has already written such a high-quality paper.

And he started from differential equations, chaos theory, etc. This doesn’t seem to be Wang Duoyu’s strong point?

No matter what the real situation is, they should go to the East and see for themselves. Perhaps things have really changed dramatically outside.

"Actually, if you're going, you might as well attend the International Congress of Mathematicians."

As soon as Bonavent finished speaking, Augustine Leighton retorted:
"Don't mention it. The situation in Warsaw, Poland is not very good yet. My supervisor hasn't received the invitation letter to give a report yet, because in previous years, the invitation was sent out six months in advance."

“So it’s highly unlikely that there will be a conference this year.”

Upon hearing this, Severubk stood up and said firmly:
"I'm going to the East. Who of you will go with me?"

The two looked at each other, but soon Augustine Leighton stood up and said he was willing to join.

Now only Bonavin remained.

Just when Severubk and the others thought that the other party would desert, they saw him shaking his head and saying:
"Since you guys want to go, I'll go with you, but listen carefully, I'm just afraid you'll get lost, I'm just there to guide you."

Haha!

What a proud British gentleman!

Just as they were preparing their resignation letters, leave letters, packing their luggage and buying plane tickets, the seventh and eighth special issues of the Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal were also delivered to Cambridge University.

As the fastest rising top mathematician in the global mathematics community, Wang Duoyu, who is also called the Emperor of Mathematics by many, has published another paper, and this time in the form of a special issue.

This time, he actually proved the honeycomb conjecture, a difficult mathematical problem that has spanned more than a thousand years.

"Wang Defa!!!"

"God, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"What the hell! There must be something wrong with my eyes and ears. Otherwise, how could I have seen and heard such news?"

Severus Buc, Bonaventura Pierce, Augustine Leighton and others, they couldn't believe their eyes and ears.

The reason why they were so shocked was that Wang Duoyu had published another paper, and the conjecture he proved was as difficult as ever, but he proved it so quickly.

You know, it is a well-known fact that Wang Duoyu just held a lecture in October last year, and after the lecture, he started another class.

While teaching classes and leading scientific research projects, you can also prove a top mathematical conjecture in passing?

It would be amazing for an ordinary person to be able to complete just one of them, but he not only completed all three successfully, but he also seemed to be able to do it with ease.

After all, there are news reports that Wang Duoyu seems to be studying the problem of geometric Langlands conjecture recently, which has attracted many top mathematicians to Harbin Institute of Technology.

So Wang Duoyu is really a god-like existence, tireless and unaware of what "difficulty" is.

It seems that any mathematical conjecture that passes through his hands can be solved and will not bother him for more than a year.

The second is the papers in the seventh issue, a total of four articles, not as many as in the sixth issue, but the quality is not bad either. But the problem is that Severubk and others know the authors of these papers.

I won’t talk about William Thurston, he’s a big shot.

But in the eyes of Severubk and others, Gerdfaltings and his men were not as good as them.

So after seeing these papers, Severubk and his team were completely defeated.

Even Bonavin, who had always been stubborn, completely lost his composure. He could no longer control his expression and maintain his "arrogant attitude" as a British gentleman.

"Fuck, let's go to Harbin Institute of Technology now. I'm going to make a name for myself there!"

Bonavent said fiercely.

Staying here at Cambridge would only erode his will and waste his time.

Although Cambridge University is world-famous, it was once the world's center of mathematics.

But that was only in the past, the glory of the past, and has nothing to do with them modern people.

If I don’t break through, my life will be like this.

Living a life of mediocrity is not what people who pursue the pinnacle of science want, so Bonavin and his friends really made up their minds to go to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Just when Bonavin, Severubk, Augustin Leyton and others went to Harbin Institute of Technology, masters, doctors and even some college graduates from many universities around the world also set their sights on Harbin Institute of Technology.

People who have aspirations will naturally not be willing to be lonely.

And these students who stay in the ivory tower of the university, whether they are bachelors, masters or doctors, are actually relatively naive.

They are also full of hope for the future, so they are more courageous to take that step.

On the other hand, those who are married and have children, or even middle-aged people who are over 30 years old, will be tied to their families and will not leave easily.

By the end of April, on the campus of Harbin Institute of Technology, Wang Duoyu had successfully persuaded John Milnor, Charles Fefman, Robert Langlands and seven others to stay at Harbin Institute of Technology and join the scientific research team to verify the geometric Langlands conjecture.

The establishment of the seven-member team has injected a powerful force into the Ice City Institute for Advanced Studies, making the Institute's School of Mathematics no longer just Wang Duoyu alone.

In other words, although John Milnor and the other seven people receive high salaries, they will not have any pressure in terms of teaching tasks, scientific research funding, etc., and they can stay or leave at will.

In addition to recruiting the seven of them to the Ice City Institute for Advanced Studies, Wang Duoyu also recruited a number of associate researchers, assistant researchers, intern researchers, etc.

It can be said that all the previous visiting scholar exchange groups were caught in one fell swoop.

In other words, people like Gerd Faltings were recruited by Wang Duoyu into the Institute of Advanced Studies, and were completely separated from Harbin Institute of Technology.

However, even so, most of them will still stay in Harbin Institute of Technology to work.

In particular, there is a seminar held by Wang Duoyu himself on a fixed day every month.

Many top mathematicians will participate in such seminars.

Mathematics is a basic subject, but it is also an extremely profound subject.

There are not only those famous mathematical conjectures, but also many mathematical problems, even some mathematical problems related to mathematical applications.

Before May arrived, the Executive Committee of the International Congress of Mathematicians sent a notice to top mathematicians from universities and research institutes around the world to cancel this year's conference.

When this news came out, many people had guessed it, so there was no dissatisfaction.

Of course, there is no Fields Medal favorite who has already turned 40 this year, otherwise this group of people would definitely protest against this matter.

Because the Fields Medal is for mathematicians under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions to mathematics.

This year's favorite is Wang Duoyu, who is also the only mathematician who does not need the Fields Medal to prove himself. Others include Alain Connes, Shing-Tung Yau, William Thurston, Gerd Faltings, Charles Feefman and others.

Among them, Charles Feefman won the Fields Medal in 1977 or 1988, but he has also published many papers and books in the past few years, so he is also one of the favorites.

However, according to the popularity ranking, French mathematician Alain Connes ranks after Wang Duoyu, Shing-Tung Yau ranks third, and William Thurston ranks fourth.

However, the so-called fourth is just speculation from the outside world. Specifically, Charles Fefferman is stronger than William Thurston.

If he had not won the Fields Medal four years ago, he would definitely have a place in this year's class.

It just so happens that Charles Fefferman was born in 1949 and is only 33 years old this year. Even if it is next year, he will only be 34 years old.

So if he wins the award, there will be no place for William Thurston.

This is also the reason why William Thurston stayed at Harbin Institute of Technology after the end of 1980, because the probability of him winning the award was ambiguous.

Because there are only four Fields Medal winners each year, and there were two in 1974 because there were not many candidates at the time.

No matter what, the International Congress of Mathematicians will not be held this year, so William Thurston will have to work hard for another year.

On April 29th, at Yanjiagang Airport in Ice City, when the plane landed, half of the passengers walking out of the passenger exit were foreigners.

The staff from Harbin Institute of Technology who came to pick us up at the airport were used to it.

They spoke very authentic Chinese English to communicate with the foreigners in front of them, and with the help of body language and the cardboard signs in their hands, they smoothly invited people to get on the bus.

These buses used to pick up people were purchased from abroad by Harbin Institute of Technology because Harbin Institute of Technology held a global mathematics conference in October last year.

At that time, in order to make a good impression on these mathematicians from all over the world, Liu Deben, Lu Gongliang and others signed the purchase documents with gritted teeth.

Because these buses use foreign currency, they are not cheap at all.

Fortunately, these buses have never been idle since they were purchased and are still used very frequently.

Whether used to receive foreign guests or to receive recruited talents, they are very good means of transportation and are highly praised.

Severubk and his three companions got off the plane smoothly, and then followed the main group and got on the bus.

They are not talents who have participated in interviews in advance, nor are they scholars who have been invited. They are seekers who come here on their own initiative.

The number of students like this has continued to increase since last year's lecture.

Of course, there are also some people who are simply taking advantage of the situation, otherwise, the previous visiting scholar exchange groups would not have had so few people, only two or three hundred.

Bonavin and the other two were PhDs in mathematics from Cambridge University, so they were naturally not ordinary people. However, if they wanted to enter Harbin Institute of Technology, they were forced to take the so-called "entrance examination."

As long as you can pass such an entrance examination, the staff will arrange free food and accommodation, and then you will undergo further tests and be assigned a job.

The reason for such an arrangement is naturally because there are really some foreign scum who are taking advantage of the situation, pretending to be "mathematicians" and coming to Harbin Institute of Technology to eat and drink for free, and even taking money.

That's why such exams exist.

"We have to take the test too?"

When they learned that they also had to take part in this so-called "entrance examination", Severubk and the other two felt extremely humiliated, especially Bonaventure, who claimed to be an English gentleman. How could he do such a thing?
"You don't have to participate, unless you can get an invitation letter from the Ice City Institute of Advanced Studies. Otherwise, it's not possible."

After hearing the staff's explanation, Severubk and the others looked at each other, and finally had to accept it.

But just as they were about to go to the examination room, several foreigners came from the other side.

"Hi, David, Professor Bryant, I'm Sevi, do you remember me?"

Seeing David Bryant Mumford in the crowd, Severubk immediately stepped forward to stop the other party and greeted him with surprise.

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land!

David Bryant is British and used to be Severubk's neighbor. However, he applied to Harvard University after high school, while Severubk was just a kid at that time.

After David became famous, he naturally returned to England. Severubk also went to Harvard University. At that time, David was already a professor at Harvard University.

"Oh, Sevilla, long time no see. You are also in Harbin Institute of Technology? Not bad, not bad, very good." David Bryant was also quite surprised.

If he remembered correctly, wasn't Severubk studying for a doctorate at Cambridge University?
He had previously persuaded the other party to study for a doctorate at Harvard University, but he didn't expect that this guy was so stubborn and insisted on returning to Great Britain.

So what's the situation with coming to Harbin Institute of Technology now?
Severubk was immediately embarrassed when he heard this. It was obvious that he was also thinking about his youthful and frivolous days.

But he is much more mature now. No matter what, he should ask David for help to overcome the current difficulties first.

So, with David Bryant as a guarantor, Severubk and the other three were finally exempted from the exam, but the specific arrangements would definitely require some testing.

Harbin Institute of Technology needs people, and the Ice City Institute of Advanced Studies also needs people, so where should we go? Let's wait for arrangements.

David Bryant is a researcher at the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study. In addition to participating in the verification of the geometric Langlands conjecture with Wang Duoyu and others, he also has his own scientific research projects and participates in basic teaching courses at Harbin Institute of Technology.

It’s not that he is short of money, but he has been a lecturer at Harvard University and other institutions and is accustomed to this kind of teaching life.

In fact, the inspiration for his research paper came from the teaching process.

Because in the process of teaching students, it is actually more conducive for him to organize what he has learned in his life. This is probably what Confucius said about reviewing the old in order to learn the new.

Wang Duoyu, who was in his office in the Mathematics Department's teaching building, had no idea that Severubk and his men had arrived.

But Wang Duoyu knew that starting from mid-to-early April, Harbin Institute of Technology had gradually accepted a large number of foreigners.

There are quite a lot of foreigners coming this time. They all chose to come to Harbin Institute of Technology because of the sixth, seventh and eighth issues of the "Harbin Institute of Technology Mathematical Journal".

Everyone has a clearer understanding of one thing: Wang Duoyu is awesome, and his teaching ability is also awesome.

Even if you cannot become Wang Duoyu's student, you can still join the visiting scholar exchange group and listen to Wang Duoyu's lectures frequently.

Then you will definitely benefit a lot in this process.

You might even be able to publish two or more papers in top journals within half a year, or consecutively. Then you would be qualified to become Wang Duoyu's student.

As long as you become his student, you can ask him for advice at any time.

The six papers in the sixth issue were all written by Wang Duoyu's six students. Could it be that Yang Nianzhen and the other six wrote all of them independently? Did Wang Duoyu not provide any assistance?

No one believes it!

No one is a fool, so everyone came to Harbin Institute of Technology.

Wang Duoyu was extremely happy about this phenomenon. After all, he did so many things just to improve the foundation of Harbin Institute of Technology.

Without talents, where would Harbin Institute of Technology’s foundation come from?

The sun sets and another day passes, but Wang Duoyu still has no gains. There is still no progress in the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations.

Since he had already proposed the geometric Langlands conjecture and then worked with John Milnor, David Bryant and others to solve it, Wang Duoyu would definitely not put too much effort into it.

Anyway, he would take his time. If he could solve it next year, he would definitely not seek confirmation this year. This was because he didn't want John Milnor and the others to have no reason to stay in Ice City.

It would be better to let them stay in Ice City for a few more years, but as for letting them stay here forever, Wang Duoyu didn't dare to have such an idea.

He said he could come and go freely and would definitely abide by the rules of the game. Otherwise, the current good situation of Harbin Institute of Technology would be completely destroyed.

After people like Yang Nianzhen, Rong Guangxia, Li Jun, Li Jianshu, Yorks, and Bochers have completely risen to prominence, Wang Duoyu can safely hand over the Department of Mathematics to these students.

Today, Harbin Institute of Technology needs talents everywhere, but Wang Duoyu cannot leave the Department of Mathematics, and the Department of Information Science and Engineering also takes up a lot of his attention.

So he is very busy, and it's not just talk.

But it’s normal. Which professor is not busy?
Everyone has his purpose in doing anything.

David Bryant Mumford, Charles Fefman, John Milnor and others are already world-renowned top mathematicians and have won the Fields Medal, but they still chose to join the Ice City Institute for Advanced Study.

why?
There are two things that people cannot live without in their life: fame and fortune!
Perhaps for people like David, interests are no longer that important. As long as they are given a salary that matches their strength and fame, they will settle down somewhere.

Harbin Institute of Technology can not only provide these, but also give them the opportunity to leave their names in the history of mathematics. Although it is only one opportunity, it is enough.

The geometric Langlands conjecture is a difficult problem, but the top mathematics team led by Wang Duoyu and composed of several Fields Medal winners is very confident that they will be able to break through this shackles within a year or two.

We are all still relatively young, around 40 years old, which is the peak age for scientific research.

Therefore, everyone is full of confidence. Who knows, in the next few years, we may be able to break through several top mathematical conjectures in succession, which will be a good story in the mathematical community.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that after Wang Duoyu persuaded them to join the Institute of Advanced Studies, he pressed the button to slow down time.

With brisk steps and a happy mood, Wang Duoyu set out on his way home amid the beautiful scenery of the setting sun.

Along the way, he passed by David Bryant and others. When he was about to reach home, he ran into Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi who "happened" to be leaving.

"Professor Wang, long time no see. Are you off work?"

Lu Ruoxi was pleasantly surprised to finally meet Wang Duoyu.

The next moment, she had a headache again, because Yuan Xueyi was right next to her. If she invited Wang Duoyu to the school cafeteria for dinner, then Yuan Xueyi would definitely come along, right?
What?

"Well, long time no see, why are you here at Harbin Institute of Technology?"

Wang Duoyu asked knowingly, and Lu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him. She really couldn't help it, otherwise she wouldn't roll her eyes so easily.

Then she said sadly:

"Professor Wang, I'm afraid you've forgotten. We went on a blind date before, and you said you were very happy with me. I'm sure a professor like you wouldn't forget this, right?"

Sometimes he said he had forgotten, and sometimes he said he would never forget. His resentment was almost becoming reality, which made Wang Duoyu feel a little embarrassed.

However, Yuan Xueyi resolved this embarrassment for him.

"Hello, Comrade Wang Duoyu. I'm Yuan Xueyi. Although this is the first time we meet, I've seen you many times before, like when you were giving a lecture in the auditorium last time."

Yuan Xueyi was not willing to be outdone and seized the right to speak.

At present, Wang Duoyu has become a hot commodity. Not only does he have a powerful competitor, Lu Ruoxi, who is eyeing him covetously, but he also has his confidante, Liu Xiaoli.

So Yuan Xueyi was not sure how much chance she had of winning, but no matter what, she should first make Wang Duoyu remember her and leave a good impression on her. This was what she should do.

Wang Duoyu felt a bit of a headache. This matter had caused so much trouble that maybe he should cut the Gordian knot.

"Comrade Lu, Comrade Yuan, are you free? It's almost dinner time now. How about coming to my house for dinner?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi shook their heads and refused.

Because they would rather eat in the cafeteria or outside the school, after all, Liu Xiaoli is at Wang Duoyu's house.

Although the two of them are competitors now, Liu Xiaoli has a greater chance of winning, so they must find a way to get rid of the latter first.

In that case, we can’t go to Wang Duoyu’s house for dinner.

However, they rejected this proposal, and Wang Duoyu said regretfully:
"Okay, let's make an appointment next time. I still need to go back to see my son. See you next time."

After saying that, he walked past the two of them and went straight home.

Only Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi were left standing there in a daze, and it took them a long time to come to their senses.

They were both dumbfounded. Why didn't Wang Duoyu know how to accommodate female comrades?
On the lawn at the entrance of the villa, Liu Xiaoli saw Wang Duoyu coming back and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She held the little guy and went to greet him:
"Junhong, look, your dad is back."

"Dad, hug!"

When the little kid saw clearly that it was his father, he immediately opened his little hands and stumbled towards his father.

"Tomorrow is Labor Day. You should have a day off, right?"

After picking up the little guy, Wang Duoyu looked at Liu Xiaoli and asked with a smile.

The latter nodded expectantly, "Yes, do you have any activities?"

"No, I want to say that if you have a day off, please help me take the kids out for a walk and take my two sisters with me."

what?
Although Liu Xiaoli was very happy to help him take care of his son, if Wang Duoyu didn't get involved, then what was she? A nanny?

"You still have to go to work tomorrow?"

"Well, I need to go out tomorrow. I might be back tonight, or the day after tomorrow. It depends."

After a pause, Wang Duoyu continued:

"The temperature in the Ice City is already quite high now. It's time to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery."

Spring in the south is in February and March, but spring in the Ice City is in April and May.

Because at this time in early May, the temperature in the ice city is around 67 degrees Celsius to 18 or 19 degrees Celsius, which is the spring temperature in the south.

However, in the south at this time, the temperature has already reached over 20 or 30 degrees Celsius. It is not spring, but vitality, and summer is coming.

Liu Xiaoli nodded somewhat disappointedly and agreed to Wang Duoyu's request.

Now that this matter has been settled, Wang Duoyu can leave at any time tomorrow.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Liu Xiaoli agrees or not, his two sisters will definitely help him take care of the children.

The reason why he did this was just because he was in a spur of the moment and thought that he should settle down. Otherwise, Lu Ruoxi and Yuan Xueyi would still be wasting their time at Harbin Institute of Technology, which would be harmful to both themselves and others.

That night, during dinner, Wang Duoyu checked his two younger sisters' homework as usual.

Well, not many surprises, very little progress.

It would be strange if they made great progress.

The next morning, Wang Duoyu arrived at Yanjiagang Airport and took a flight to Beijing.

From December to May now, although it has not been half a year yet, Lu Yangui and others can't wait any longer.

After getting on the plane, Wang Duoyu was surprised to find that Lu Ruoxi was also there.

After thinking about it, he knew that this was Lu Yangui's arrangement.

This leader is really persistent. Why does he want to push his own granddaughter into this deep pit?

"Professor Wang, what a coincidence! Are you returning to Beijing too?"

Lu Ruoxi asked with bright eyes and white teeth, smiling.

Obviously, she should have known this a long time ago.

"Well, that's a coincidence."

Wang Duoyu said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Lu Ruoxi was just arranged and pushed around by her grandfather. Knowing that he had been divorced twice, how could she still be willing to continue to contact him?

Forget it, things will work out when the time comes. I won’t think about these complicated things anymore.

The two chatted for a while on the plane, but were forced to interrupt because of the loud noise.

Because the noise is loud, he has to get close, or even get close to the other person's ear, so the other person can hear him, so Wang Duoyu doesn't like this way of chatting very much.

As for writing and chatting?
They did talk for a while, but not for long, and then Lu Ruoxi took the initiative to end the conversation and let him read a book or do what he wanted to do.

It was just because when they were chatting just now, Wang Duoyu told the other party that when he usually traveled by plane or train, he would read books or deduce mathematical problems, or think about some problems.

There is almost no boring time.

A few hours later, the plane landed safely at Beijing Nanyuan Airport.

There were already several cars parked near the airport apron, probably because they had been waiting here early.

Lu Ruoxi also left the airport with Wang Duoyu, but she did not get off the car after arriving at the destination.

In the compound of a research institute on Wenjin Street, Wang Duoyu met Lu Yangui and others.

After some pleasantries, everyone got down to business.

In the conference room, Wang Duoyu sat on one side and listened to some experts express their opinions.

Sitting opposite Wang Duoyu was Qian Xuesen, a famous aerodynamics expert, but he did not express his opinion at the moment.

The design drawings of the Mach 5 fighter jet came from Wang Duoyu. If it weren't for Wang Duoyu's own strength and fame, Qian Xuesen would have cursed him long ago.

This is obviously a pipe dream.

However, after several months of reviewing the drawings, Qian Xuesen also made one thing clear, that is, this set of design drawings is really amazing and highly feasible.

Two hours later, everyone had expressed their opinions, and Lu Yangui called on Qian Xuesen to express his opinion.

Upon hearing this, the latter said seriously:

"To be honest, I don't quite agree with this project, because our country's current manufacturing level is far from meeting the standards of a Mach 3 fighter, let alone a Mach 5 fighter."

"Everyone can see that the fighter jet design by our Professor Wang has very high material requirements, especially for the engine."

“However, after discussion, we have found that even if we do not establish such a project, we can still move in this direction.”

"What I'm most concerned about are funding and talent. So far, Harbin Institute of Technology is quite confident it can help us solve these two major problems."

"In that case, I will no longer be a sinner. I agree to establish this project."

Everyone in the conference room, especially Lu Yangui, breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if Qian Xuesen opposed this project, he would most likely conflict with Wang Duoyu, which was something Lu Yangui did not want to see.

When other experts opposed Wang Duoyu, Lu Yangui could completely ignore them, but Qian Xuesen certainly could not.

Now Qian Xuesen also agreed with this project and mentioned Harbin Institute of Technology. Lu Yangui nodded:

"That's right. If it weren't for Harbin Institute of Technology backing me up, to be honest, I wouldn't agree with establishing this project. Duoyu, please express your opinion and tell us what you think."

Wang Duoyu heard this and glanced at everyone before speaking:

"Maybe everyone doesn't know that the design drawings of the Mach 5 fighter jet are actually derived based on the strong solution of the Navier-Stokes equations that I am currently working on."

"I need relevant and detailed experimental data to further verify the mathematical models and tools I designed and created. Therefore, regardless of whether the higher-ups approve of this project, I will definitely establish it."

"Leader Lu, you should know that our Harbin Institute of Technology has already established companies such as Diao Pai Company, Huashun Company, Huaxin Company, Huayun Company, Dolphin Games, and Huaxing Chip. The existence of these companies is actually to help me provide financial support for the establishment of some scientific research projects."

"The relationship between foreign research institutions, universities, and businesses may not be clear to most of you, but I believe Professor Qian is very clear on this."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qian Xuesen.

The latter smiled and nodded slightly.

He spent many years in the United States. He went to North America to study in 1935 and transferred to the Department of Aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology in 1936. He studied under von Karman and delved into basic theories such as modern mathematics, partial differential equations, integral equations, atomic physics, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, relativity, molecular structure, and quantum chemistry.

At that time, he studied and worked for more than ten hours a day. Apart from eating and sleeping, most of his time was spent on studying.

In 1939, he obtained his doctorate in aeronautics and mathematics with four doctoral dissertations, including "Research on High-Speed ​​Gas Dynamics Problems".

In just four years, he went from a bachelor's degree to a double doctorate, in two different disciplines, aeronautics and mathematics, which is of great value.

Therefore, Qian Xuesen is not just a genius. After graduation, he held different positions such as teaching assistant and professor, and transferred his work between universities and research institutions, but he was engaged in research in the fields of aerodynamics, solid mechanics, rockets, missiles, etc.

Just now, Wang Duoyu mentioned the relationship between foreign scientific research institutions, universities and enterprises, which Qian Xuesen naturally understands very well.

Because some scientific research projects actually involve corporate investment.

Of course, the situation at Harbin Institute of Technology is completely different from that in the United States.

Because companies like Huashun Company are all subsidiaries of Harbin Institute of Technology, they are collective industries and state property, not private property.

Although a considerable portion, or even most or all, of the money earned by companies like Huashun is used in Harbin Institute of Technology's scientific research projects or Harbin Institute of Technology itself, there is no problem with this.

"Therefore, I am not worried about the funding of this project. As for talent, Harbin Institute of Technology can also cultivate it ourselves. I will not tell you the detailed plan."

Wang Duoyu continued:

"But now that Leader Lu is leading this project, and so many experts are participating, our project has a greater chance of success."

Lu Yangui represented the opinions from above, which is very important.

Although Wang Duoyu could carry out this project on his own at Harbin Institute of Technology, the difficulty would increase exponentially.

It is not a good thing to eat alone, let alone if Harbin Institute of Technology takes all the spoils of this huge project, the project may go bankrupt or even drag Harbin Institute of Technology into a quagmire.

"Next, I will briefly talk about the overall plan for this project, which is divided into three steps."

"The first step is to comprehensively promote the development of our country's aviation manufacturing industry within five to ten years, striving to achieve comprehensive technological standards by around 1990."

"At the same time, we must also rapidly develop multiple disciplines such as materials science, guidance technology, radio communications, radar technology, chemistry, electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering, and strive to develop the technologies and materials required for our project within about ten years."

"The second step is to produce all the parts needed for the fighter jet between the tenth and fifteenth year, and to produce the fighter jet using more advanced welding technology."

"During this process, we still need to resolve issues, namely, the wind tunnel test site and our simulation software must meet the technical requirements of the project."

"The third and final stage of the project is to conduct various tests and flight tests on the fighter jets produced during the fifteenth and twentieth years to fully implement the project."

"Comrades, this is a very great task. If we can successfully complete this task, then twenty years from now, you will all be heroes of the Republic."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire conference room burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
