Chapter 649: I, Ph.D., graduated in 2 years

The Spring Festival of 1999 came very late, not until mid-February.

According to the previously planned schedule, Chang Haonan completed all single-shot test subjects before then.

Of course, after adjustments.

About 15% of the preset subjects were moved to the back, waiting for the second turbofan 10 to be installed.

The power layout of the J-11 allows it to complete an engine replacement in a relatively short period of time, but since replacing the AL31F turbofan 10 also involves changes to the internal pipelines of the aircraft body and adjustments to flight control parameters, the efficiency cannot be that fast.

Anyway, we have to wait until after the new year.

However, for the members of the Turbofan 10 project team, this can be considered a good thing.

After all, following Chang Haonan in doing projects in this model, although the progress is indeed surprisingly fast, it is definitely extremely stressful for other colleagues, especially those in charge of the subsystems.

This year and a half of continuous work may not seem like a long time, but the fatigue and fatigue caused by the extremely high work intensity are higher than before when I worked for three or four consecutive years.

Chang Haonan himself knew this.

So I just took this opportunity to give everyone an annual holiday.

The same applies to the die forging press.

It was originally a project as a National Day gift, and the current progress is faster than expected, and there is no rush for a week or two.

And he himself was preparing to return to the capital after sorting out and confirming that he had saved all the test flight data for more than a month.

The plane took off from Beiling Airport as usual and arrived at Xijiao Airport.

However, this time, in addition to the usual Chang Haonan and Zhu Yadan, they also brought along Yao Mengna, who was also preparing to leave Shengjing.

She had known about Chang Haonan's ability to get on a special plane before, but when she actually got on it, she felt completely different from just watching.

In the past two years, she thought she had reached her limit.

But the distance between the two is getting farther and farther...

It can only be said that there is a gap between the limit and the limit.

After the initial freshness passed, Yao Mengna looked at Chang Haonan who was resting on the seat next to him, and suddenly said:

"Speaking of which, junior brother, I should graduate this summer."

In this informal setting, she was still used to the name they used when they first met.

Chang Haonan counted the time and realized that Yao Mengna was indeed in the fifth year of her Ph.D.

In a situation like hers, it is naturally impossible to postpone her graduation.

"Speaking of which...don't you choose to graduate in the spring?"

Chang Haonan said curiously:

“I’ve done some calculations and found that if we hurry up now, we should still have time to submit the national defense report and dissertation in March. Moreover, for graduate students or doctoral students in classified projects, the graduation qualification review will be conducted separately, and those who are not stuck in time will not Then die."

"It's not less than three months..."

Yao Mengna shook her head:

"I did think about graduating in March before, but then the J-11WS project was a bit tight, so I focused all my energy on that. Now... I just want to take a good annual leave first."

"That's true."

As someone who has graduated once, Chang Haonan also knows that the reason why most people don't choose Chundu is basically the same as Yao Mengna.

While everyone else is celebrating the New Year, it feels really bad to be the only one writing a big thesis.

"What are your plans after graduation, senior sister?"

Generally speaking, graduate students who have done confidential projects will not have much impact on their employment choices as long as they sign a confidentiality agreement.

But the projects he and Yao Mengna participated in were obviously not "general" confidential projects, so there were certain restrictions on their graduation destinations.

This was already known to them before they first participated in the August 3rd Project.

However, limitations are limitations, and there are still choices to be made.

"I haven't thought about it yet, so... I just want to talk to you."

Hearing this question, Yao Mengna's face showed a somewhat troubled expression:

"Basically all the factories in the aviation industry responsible for mainframe production and R&D have now offered me positions. The conditions are similar. They all start as associate senior researchers. However, there are so many options, which makes me a little confused."

"The other thing is, if I want to stay in school, whether it's scientific research results or teachers, there will definitely be no problem, but I may have to start as a lecturer, and the salary will be worse than in the company, but the advantage is that I can work like Like the previous two years, I had a higher degree of freedom and had the opportunity to participate in projects with different systems..."

Apparently, too many offers hit her head, making her have trouble choosing.

Or, at least, what I consider to be a difficult choice.

Because from the perspective of Chang Haonan, an outsider, what Yao Mengna just said is actually clearly leaning towards the latter option.

She just needs someone to convince her.

Moreover, from a practical perspective, it is indeed better to stay in school.

In addition, Chang Haonan still has some selfish motives.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, he answered:

"If you go to the aviation industry, then you have spent most of your time in Factory 112 in the past few years, so you will most likely choose Shengjing, which is more familiar with the situation."

"As for staying in school...as you said, the degree of freedom will be higher, and..."

Having said this, Chang Haonan straightened the back of his seat and turned to look at Yao Mengna on the other side of the aisle:

"And after I graduate, I will set up a joint laboratory with Beijing Airlines in the name of Torch Group. If you stay in school, you are welcome to join then."

This matter is something Chang Haonan has been thinking about for a long time.

If the Torch Group is to maintain its relatively lean size, much of the work cannot be performed by the group itself.

But if it is completely left to outsiders, it will be difficult for him to rest assured.

Then, setting up a school-enterprise joint laboratory and then serving as the laboratory director yourself would become a safer middle choice.

Hearing Chang Haonan's answer, Yao Mengna's eyes also lit up.

If you can continue to work with your juniors after graduation, then there really is nothing to hesitate about.

Therefore, she nodded with almost no hesitation:

"Then it's settled."

"Before you graduate, I will stay at the school. After your joint laboratory is built, don't forget to take me in..."

Yao Mengna originally wanted to act pitiful, but after thinking about it, she felt it was a bit too pretentious, so she decided not to do it.

But Chang Haonan was stunned for a moment.

Then he realized that his doctoral program was only scheduled for two years, and few people should know about it at present.
