Chapter 67: The 800 Million Yuan Aviation Glass Market Every Year [Update 3]
"No, teacher, this... Master and PhD are both continuous, and both are directly admitted to PhD, is this appropriate?" Zhang Heng did not expect it to be like this.
"What's inappropriate?"
Professor Tang curled his lips and said without hiding: "I already have quotas for master and doctoral students, but in recent years, I have been too busy and rarely teach master students, only one or two doctoral students."
"This semester, the school appointed me as the vice dean of the School of Materials, and I was also promoted. There is one quota for direct doctoral students every year, which is given to you."
"Here in the School of Materials, the vice dean is just a title. I am more engaged in scientific research. I am afraid I don't have much time to teach you. I don't think you need me to teach you. After all, with your current achievements, you have long surpassed the graduated doctoral students."
"In fact, you have surpassed me."
Professor Tang was a little emotional, and he was sincere. He did not feel ashamed and annoyed because he was surpassed by his students. He was pleased that he had taught a student who was better than him.
"Teacher, I'm still far from it."
"Come on, stop being modest!"
Professor Tang's face became serious, and he returned to the topic: "I don't have any requirements for you. The only standard is the papers. As long as the number of papers is sufficient and the impact factor is sufficient, then I will approve you. After all, I don't need you to stay by my side. It's a direct doctoral program while working."
"If you can publish enough papers within one day and the impact factor is sufficient, I will even report to the school tomorrow and issue you a doctoral completion certificate." Professor Tang looked at Zhang Heng meaningfully, with a sense of self-evident.
"..." Zhang Heng was helpless. He certainly had the skills and abilities, and he also had a smart one. The combination of the three was simply amazing: "After I graduated and went back, I did achieve some results in the simple laboratory."
"Recently, not long ago, a type of glass was discovered. I named it metallic glass. This is not a new material. It has been on the market for a long time, but this type of metallic glass is different."
"Its bulletproof ability has increased exponentially. Although I haven't tested it, according to calculations, even a sniper rifle shooting at a distance of 10 meters cannot penetrate it. Its strength is extremely high."
Zhang Heng knows the depth. Some things can be written into papers and published, while some things cannot be published in papers even if they have results, and cannot be made public on a large scale.
"Are there any other characteristics?"
Professor Tang was shocked when he talked about professional knowledge, his old profession: "What are its applications?"
"At present, I have installed it on the car, making it into windshield and window glass."
Zhang Heng smiled embarrassedly, and then slowly said: "Other characteristics may need to be analyzed by professional equipment. If applied, I think it can be applied to aviation."
"Like the windshield of passenger planes and the cockpit cover glass of fighter planes, it can be used, but it is too hard. If it is used on the cockpit cover of fighter planes, some small adjustments need to be made. Sometimes fighter planes need to eject."
"One thing is certain, if this kind of glass is used, the windshield of a passenger plane will not cause substantial damage to the glass if it hits a bird at high altitude."
Zhang Heng is 100% confident in what the mining ship exports.
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
Professor Tang is not without experience. He has been engaged in smelting research for most of his life. He is also a material scientist. He also serves as a consultant for many confidential units. He knows what this kind of glass brings: "Do you know how much does it cost for our domestic airlines to replace the front windshield in a year?"
"Not completely calculated, it is no less than 800 million yuan a year. This kind of front windshield cannot be made in our country. It is all imported and blocked by others."
"Not to mention spending a lot of money, you have to act according to others' moods. How much grievances have you suffered in the middle? Now, if you are sure that your glass can be replaced, you don't have to look at other people's faces anymore."
"By the way, you said you installed it in the car and drove here?"
After Professor Tang sighed, his eyes lit up, and his meaning did not need to be explained.
"It is installed on the car that drove over!"
Zhang Heng knew this teacher too well. It was because of this that he felt a little helpless, but he didn't dare to show it: "You can remove a piece of car window glass."
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"No, teacher... you are not in a hurry, right?" Zhang Heng asked weakly.
"Not in a hurry? Why not? If you are sure that you can replace the aviation glass currently used, you don't have to look at other people's faces, and you don't have to let outsiders make money. Even if yours is more expensive, the meat is rotten in the same pot."
Professor Tang came from the old era and has seen too many things. Naturally, he has no good feelings about some things abroad: "Besides, there is nothing to do here. Just sign your name on this application form and it's done."
"Let's go, let's go, go remove the glass, and then follow me to the laboratory."
Professor Tang stood up and was about to take people away.
Zhang Heng wanted to say: Teacher, you are really not ordinary and resolute.
