Over three days, the task involved recruiting top-tier experts in various cutting-edge fields.
They all arrived in Jinan.
The WS-15 turbofan engine, codenamed "Emei," has been officially launched.
Su Lin brought Dean Qian, Dean Peng, and 500 students who had undergone skills enhancement.
Experts from the Oriental Scholars Program also visited the 031 R&D base!
"Principal Su, your team of experts is incredibly strong!!!"
Dean Miao immediately spotted one of the academic leaders, namely, Berndnorz from Germany.
This is the 1987 Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, whose main research focused on high-temperature superconducting materials in oxides.
Outwardly, he's just a scruffy old man with a full beard, but in academia, he's a master.
"How is the construction of the R&D base going?"
Su Lin was already sick of Dean Miao's flattery.
"Everything has been arranged according to your requirements last time, Principal Su. This base was originally intended to be put into production."
It's just a simple renovation and tidying up now, nothing too complicated.
Su Lin led a large R&D team of nearly 700 people to the conference room at Base 031.
The personnel appointments for this "Emei" project are being carried out.
"Principal Su is truly decisive; the first batch of R&D personnel numbered nearly 700."
Previously, I was in charge of replicating the blade materials used by the Russians; the entire lab only had about 20 people!
"Can imitation and research and development be compared? The parameters of the engine designed this time are even stronger than those of the engine currently in service with the US F-14!"
"If this person could become a department head at the university, it would be a significant achievement for China's aviation industry!"
"Dean Xie, your Structural and Refractories Laboratory at South China University of Technology is truly in a league of its own in the field of materials science."
"You're in charge of the structural aspects of the guide vanes and combustion chamber most likely!"
"Don't say that. I heard they've even recruited Nobel laureates. Does Principal Su have that much influence abroad?"
Upon witnessing the magnificent scene at Base 031, even the heads of renowned domestic laboratories and deans of various colleges were astonished.
Everyone gasped in amazement and began to discuss it amongst themselves in the meeting room!
"First, let me introduce the code name of this research and development project, the 'Emei' Project, and its overall progress."
You are solely responsible for me, Su Lin. Anyone with difficulties or suggestions can report directly to me.
This is Major General He, who is in charge of the base's operations and daily affairs.
Now it's time to appoint the heads of each department..."
The meeting room became unusually quiet.
Everyone here is a senior expert in their respective fields in China, and they all have a certain degree of pride.
Whoever becomes the head of a department in this project will benefit from it in their future academic career.
They all have great benefits.
"First, there's the materials department, responsible for the structural design and materials research and development of the inlet guide vanes and compressor blades."
Professor Berndnorz is in charge.
"The electrical control system, protection system, and operation monitoring system are managed by Chen Shilin, the head of the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois."
"Academician Tao Zhekai is in charge of the experimental simulation and data analysis!"
After Su Lin finished announcing the list of heads of each R&D department,
The basic departmental structure involves heads being selected from the scholar program.
These people represent the world's most advanced technology in a particular industry.
Technical specialists and supervisors are professors from the domestic Oriental Scholars Program.
The engineers working on the front lines are students from Lanxiang University.
"Don't we have any experts or professors with full-time positions in our country? What is Principal Su doing?"
"Isn't this just blind worship of foreign things? They claim it's independently developed domestically, but it turns out it's all professors brought in from abroad."
"Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if people told you you're in the top position?"
"I thought I had finally met someone who could change the domestic research environment, but it turns out it's just the same old thing!"
"Come on, their resumes are definitely much more impressive than ours—a Nobel Prize winner."
"NASA Aeronautical Technology Division, Research Center Director, how can we compare!"
Dean Miao clearly sensed that the reaction from the domestic scholars below was somewhat unusual.
"Principal Su, isn't this appointment a bit abrupt? I suggest we use a professor from our own country to take charge!"
This allows for better management and smoother collaborative research and development between departments.
"Dean Miao, you must be aware of the gap between the current academic level in China and that abroad, right?"
Su Lin doesn't care where you come from; at the 031 R&D base, technical skills are what matter.
The old tricks of江湖事事 (Jianghu incidents) won't work here.
"That's true. Currently, there is indeed a significant gap between China and foreign countries in the research and development of aero engines."
But we can't just hand over such an important right to foreign academicians, can we?
Su Lin didn't have this worry.
These people were all recruited through the system, but it cost them billions of yuan.
Everyone was absolutely loyal to Su Lin.
There will be no technical reservations.
Besides, as long as the research and development is successful, Su Lin only needs to sign labor contracts with these domestic professors and let them choose which technical school to attend to.
Then they'll belong to the faculty and staff of Lanxiang Vocational College. They can level up their skills and talents then.
All the technology will then be entirely in my, Su Lin's, hands.
As for these foreign experts, they could only keep working for Su Lin.
However, Su Lin's ultimate goal was not to retain talent, but to attract talent.
We must build China into a world-class research and development center.
China has so many top universities with abundant talent, so why is the research environment so harsh?
It's because too many talented people have left.
Once the WS-15 series engine is successfully developed, it will establish a strong reputation worldwide.
You won't need to buy them one by one anymore, since a top global expert's system costs one million points, which is worth one hundred million RMB.
When it comes to R&D, we should save where we can and spend where we can, using the money wisely.
"Dean Miao, you're overthinking it. You should know that I'm in charge of the entire project. As long as the project progresses smoothly..."
Once the research and development is successful, personnel adjustments are just a matter of a single sentence, aren't they?
Dean Miao then understood Su Lin's intentions.
These foreign experts are mostly of Chinese descent, and they gave up such good treatment abroad.
Those who return to China to participate in research and development must be given substantial benefits.
As for the completion of the research and development, Su Lin can relocate personnel at any time!
"Principal Su, you really know how to use PUA employees!"
"Aren't you just as good?"
