The Military-industrial Scientific Research System of the Academic Master Chapter 781

Chapter 781 Getting ready to be a mentor!

Although Bai Lid couldn't find any logical loopholes in Zhou Ruifu's analysis, he still felt that something was not right.

“Mr. Brigadier.”

The latter rubbed his hands a little restlessly:

"Although the author of the article you mentioned is Chinese, Jane's Defense Weekly is a relatively influential media after all..."

At the end of the 1990s, Jane's Defense had not yet become completely entertainment-oriented, and the content was still somewhat in-depth.

Military, political and business people in many countries subscribe to it and even post comments on it.

However, Zhou Ruifu waved his hand:

“If it is in Europe or the United States, then your statement may be correct, but in China, or in the entire East Asia region, the content of Jane's Defense is actually not interesting.”

　　Immediately, he opened the drawer, took out a newspaper and a magazine, and placed them on the desk.

There are many pencil marks on the newspaper, which obviously have been carefully read.

Later, the five major head offices were split into groups, so it didn't matter.

So, they reported this conjecture of "AL31F improvement theory" as the conclusion of open source intelligence analysis.

You also said you have no background?

But in the view of Zhou Ruifu, a senior US military officer, isn't this a proper script for "the military-industrial complex sponsors the media and lobbying groups"?

Originally, this kind of report was just a routine matter. In addition, Zhou Ruifu and Bradbury were both professional soldiers who started their careers halfway, and had neither diplomacy nor intelligence training.

At the end of the 1980s, in order to satisfy the people's growing curiosity about military equipment, and of course to generate income during the trough of the military industry, major military industry corporations did register a number of literary publications.

Correspondingly, the content quality of publications has also begun to decline.

No one could have imagined that an article written by a small person based solely on his imagination in order to complete KPIs would eventually have such an indirect and direct impact on international politics.

But the good times did not last long. Because the operating methods of the old state-owned enterprises were not flexible enough and the content was professional but not interesting enough, these newspapers and magazines quickly changed from blood transfusion kits to bloodletting troughs. Not only were they unable to provide income, but they also Often living beyond their means.

And Bai Lideh has not stayed in China as long as Zhou Ruifu, so when he heard the latter say this, he no longer had any doubts.

Zhou Ruifu said, reaching out and tapping the newspaper lightly:

Therefore, by the second half of the 1990s, most of them were entrusted to individuals or professional publishing organizations on a contract basis.

Furthermore, in the post-Cold War era, military technical intelligence is not something that requires particularly high timeliness. As long as we wait a little longer, more professional intelligence agencies will submit analytical conclusions with higher credibility.

In fact, he is completely judging others by himself.

In other words, the original name is retained, but in fact it has little to do with the military industrial unit behind it.

So much so that a little-known essay compiled by a little-known author in order to complete the KPI eventually changed the entire world's aviation industry structure...

“So, the articles that can be published here must be inextricably linked to the financial backers behind them!”

Some even established their own publishing houses.

But this time, the analysis that the two copied directly happened to be stuck at a strange point in time.

"On the contrary, this newspaper, and of course the accompanying publications, are not very famous, but I asked someone to check the background and found out that it was actually founded by a Chinese military industry company about ten years ago, and it is still used today. We still maintain financial relationships.”

So generally, no one takes it seriously.

Of course, for Chang Haonan, the decision to initiate negotiations has just been made, and the negotiation team has not even been assembled yet, so there is no follow-up at all.

After the meeting, we went back to school as usual.

For him, the most important thing right now is...

Enrollment.

This enrollment involves two aspects.

First, after the National Day, until the beginning of November, graduate students choose their tutors.

Second, at roughly the same time, students who have obtained postgraduate exemption qualifications must confirm their supervisor—

The work of recommending graduate students actually started very early, but these days there is no Xuexin.com and no online archives, so the progress in all aspects will be slower than before Chang Haonan traveled through.

Of course, since most schools' recommendation interviews are just a formality, and the final ranking is basically the grade point average ranking, so before the end of the second semester of their junior year, some students who think they have hope will start to contact their tutors.

Just like Chang Haonan himself did back then (although he was proactively contacted by his mentor).

However, not everyone will do this. Some students who want to be exempted from studying for postgraduate studies at other schools have no basis for doing so. Teachers from other schools cannot determine their professional rankings based on just a transcript.

Moreover, the contact at this time, no matter what the outcome, can only be regarded as a personal agreement between teacher and student.

In principle, both sides can compete.

The mentor candidates will not be finalized in the form of files until November.

So after the results of the exemption are announced in October, there will be another peak period for contacting tutors—

In other words, by the time the postgraduate students choose their tutors in March next year, their tutors have already been snatched up twice by their own school and other schools.

There is still time left...

Ahem.

Normally speaking, young teachers who have just been promoted to master/doctoral degree can only wait until the next year.

But Chang Haonan's situation is not normal after all.

Even if you only look at the parts of his profile that can be made public, you can realize from the densely packed topics and projects that this teacher is anything but simple.

On the other hand, such a young full professor is a golden brand in his own right...

“Professor Chang, these are letters from students that the laboratory received in the past period. I sorted them out and they are all here.”

After officially joining the job, Chang Haonan finally felt that there was a shortage of manpower. Finally, under the strong suggestion of teacher Yang Huimei, she recruited Liu Chenchen, a counselor who had just graduated from her.

It's just that I'm not in the Torch Group, but as the administrative secretary of the entire laboratory.

“Put it on my desk first.”

Chang Haonan was checking his mailbox on the computer at this time. He reached out and pointed to the side, indicating to the other party to put the letter aside.

"OK."

Liu Chenchen put away a large pile of envelopes and left Chang Haonan's office with brisk steps.

I didn't forget to close the door before I left.

Chang Haonan took out a letter opener from the pen holder and began to open the letters.

Compared with later generations, the usage rate of email at this time was not high.

Chang Haonan just looked through his mailbox and found only two emails related to graduate student applications, and both of them said that they had sent the relevant materials by letter.

Obviously, sending letters through the post office or human express delivery is still the main means of communication.

“A student from Beijing Airlines ranks second in his major. He hopes to engage in research and development of flight control. He took a class from Mr. Liu Hongbo and scored 95 points…”

“I am also a junior student of Beihang University. I am No. 1 in my major. I hope to engage in research in structural mechanics. I have published a paper during my undergraduate period...uh...Journal of Beihang University..."

"Master's degree from Bingcheng University of Technology, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. My supervisor is Professor Li Zhihong. I participated in the above-mentioned project 'New Principles and New Methods of Digital Precision Machining of High-Performance Complex Surfaces'...hiss...I remember this seems to be one of the Seiko Projects" Project… and letters of recommendation…”

Chang Haonan opened and read at the same time. It took him almost an hour and a half to read the contents of dozens of envelopes.

They are all top academics who have obtained guaranteed postgraduate places. In terms of average grades, there is nothing to choose from.

The worst one, the undergraduate major is ranked fifth.

Many people even have scientific research experience at the undergraduate level. Although it is unlikely to be the extraordinary experience of Chang Haonan, in this era without projects such as SRTP, it is already quite difficult for undergraduates to enter the laboratory...

For the first time, Chang Haonan felt that he had difficulty choosing.

Professor Li Zhihong's student, if he later confirms with Li Hongzhi himself and finds no problems, he has basically decided to recruit him to study for a Ph.D.

Bingcheng University of Technology is, after all, one of the Seven National Defense Colleges. Students from there will have a lot less to do when participating in projects.

But the remaining master's degree spot still made him a little difficult to make a decision.

Many tutors would prefer to recruit students from their own school, but Chang Haonan has no such tendency.

“Then...come for an interview...”

Chang Haonan selected the five files that he was most satisfied with and gave them to Liu Chenchen, and asked the other party to call them back one by one and invite them to come to Beijing Airlines for an interview.

If there are students from other places, travel expenses and accommodation expenses can be reimbursed.
