The personnel in the laboratory, seeing Xu Ziling playing so hard, were also very surprised, and they became more serious in their work. By the twelfth day, Xu Ziling's reverse research had finally made a major breakthrough. What is even more gratifying is that all 16 kinds of new materials are being developed one after another, and finally on this day, the research and development of the last one has been completed.

Before that, Xu Ziling took out the whole machine plan that had been prepared for a long time and asked the experts of the aerospace department to demonstrate. Once all the required materials are available, the preliminary work is completed. The next step is to customize the required parts to each aerospace company as needed. In addition to the engine order handed over to Haitian Airlines, Xu Ziling did not care about the others, and the patent issue of more than a dozen new materials is also a troublesome matter. Although the formula was provided by Xu Ziling, the R&D personnel were those researchers in the laboratory. Li Litian meant that the patent should be placed in Xu Ziling's name, but how could Xu Ziling agree in this way?

Xu Ziling insisted that half of the patents should be placed in the names of those scientific researchers, and half in the names of the school, for this project, the school mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, and there should always be a little profit, as for himself, there is no need, anyway, there are several patents in his name, and he is not short of money, there is no need to fight for these.

Li Litian's idea is also right, strictly speaking, the school only provides venues and personnel, all the recipes are Xu Ziling's alone, and the people below are just hands-on, how can they take all the credit from Xu Ziling. After the stalemate, Xu Ziling proposed that he accepted the patent for the engine material, and all the patents were handed over to the school and the scientific researchers who participated in the project, which was regarded as a reward for the staff and compensation for the school.

Li Litian saw that Xu Ziling resolutely would not accept it all, so he agreed to this distribution plan. The Department of Aerospace of the University of Science and Technology also has a school-run military enterprise, which is about military electronic automation, and the software of the avionics system has long been available, and the hardware will be handed over to them. Other propellers and fuselages were custom-made by Chengfei and Shenfei respectively.

It has been busy for almost half a month, and with a major breakthrough, Xu Ziling's mood has relaxed a lot. After discussing things in Li Litian's office, he went downstairs, looking at the sunny weather, coupled with half a month of huge mental work, which made people a little tired, so he thought about simply resting for an afternoon.

For so long, I haven't been in touch with Yang Ruolan, and I miss it a little, so I just wandered around the school and made a phone call. After getting through the phone, she didn't expect that Yang Ruolan was taking an important professional class, so Xu Ziling had to promise her to call her again in the evening, so she hung up the phone.

In December, although Star City is located in the south, the temperature is not high. But today the sun is high in the sky, and the sun is still warm on people, and they don't feel cold. Xu Ziling walked around, and remembered that he was also wandering around the campus last time, and the old man he met didn't know if he would be fishing there again in the weather like today. So I thought about going to see it, try my luck, and see if I could meet it again.

Following the memory to the small park last time, I saw from a distance that there was still a figure in the grove that had looked bleak, and when I got closer, Xu Ziling smiled, it was really the old man from last time, who was also fishing with a fishing rod.

A layer of dead leaves fell on the ground, and there was a "clacking" sound when he stepped on it, the old man glanced back at Xu Ziling, and after being slightly stunned, he smiled at him and said hello, and then turned back to look at his fishing rod. Xu Ziling walked to the side, chose a harder place, hugged the dead leaves, and then sat on it. Still using the old method last time, he took out a cigarette and gave it to the old man, "Old man, smoke a cigarette." ”

The other hand naturally stretched out to take over the fishing rod in the old man's hand. The old man took the cigarette in Xu Ziling's hand, and looked at Xu Ziling's outstretched hand, with an unconcealable smile in his eyes. moved the stool he was sitting on to the side slightly, put the fishing rod in his hand in Xu Ziling's palm, and concentrated on lighting his cigarette.

Xu Ziling took the fishing rod, lit a cigarette himself, looked at the bucket next to him, and saw that there was not a single fish in the water, so he asked the old man: "Old man, today's fish don't open your mouth." ”

The old man took a puff of his cigarette and said slowly, "Don't open your mouth, it's been an hour, and I don't see the fish drifting." Why did you point this out again? ”

"Oh! It seems that the weather is cold, and the fish don't talk much. I've been busy for half a month, so I came out to let off steam. Xu Ziling looked at the old man very kindly, so he spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Hmm. The combination of work and rest, not bad. For people like you who use your brains a lot, you should pay attention to taking frequent breaks. In scientific research, work is important, and health is even more important. Listening to Xu Ziling's words, the old man nodded, and said as if the elders cared about their juniors.

A very ordinary sentence made Xu Ziling feel very warm in his heart. It's like when I returned to my hometown in the countryside and my grandfather cared about me. "Ha, we young people, just take a break once in a while. I've met your old man a few times, and I still don't know your name? Retired, right? I often come to fishing, self-cultivation, very good. ”

The old man's addiction to smoking is not small, the two of them couldn't talk a few words, and he finished smoking a cigarette, only to see him carefully step on the cigarette butt and put it in an empty cigarette case next to him that already had a few cigarette butts. only then did he say to Xu Ziling: "My name is Li Geng, and everyone calls me Lao Li." I've been retired for a while, and I've been lazy at school because I want to see you students once in a while. You see, there is nothing to do all day long, so I have to come fishing. ”

The old man was very cheerful, and he spoke with a little playfulness. "Oh, Elder Li, hello! My name is ......" Xu Ziling, who originally wanted to introduce himself, suddenly stopped, because he thought of the name Li Geng, which was so unusual. The last time I chatted with Academician Li Litian, Li Litian found that some famous teachers in many schools in Xu Ziling didn't know him, so he told him, including the old principal Li Geng, who has retired and has been living in the school. Could it be that this is the old headmaster in front of you? Looking at the old man again, looking at the look on the old man's face in front of him, Xu Ziling was immediately sure that this was the old principal.

As soon as he put the fishing rod on the ground, Xu Ziling was ready to stand up and salute the old principal. Unexpectedly, the old man Li Geng's hand was faster than Xu Ziling's movements, holding his shoulders and not letting him stand up, "Sit...... Sit...... It's good like last time, I'm retired now, I'm a mess old man, what's there to salute. ”

Speaking of the old man Li Geng, he is definitely a legendary figure in the history of HKUST. He was the first president of HKUST. Prior to this, he was a lecturer at the University of Science and Technology, and an academician of the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering, specializing in computer science.

After he became the president, he has been committed to the development of supercomputers, and at the same time he personally served as the chief designer of several models of "galaxy" supercomputers, thus creating brilliant achievements in supercomputer technology leading the international level at the same time. It can be said that without him, the Celestial Empire would not have its current international status in the field of supercomputers. It is precisely because of his time in power that he cultivated countless computer talents that the giant computer technology of the Celestial Empire has achieved such achievements, and the University of Science and Technology has such a prominent position among many military schools.

For such an old man who has dedicated his life to the cause of national defense, Xu Ziling can't help but admire from the bottom of his heart. "Old ...... Principal, I ...... I don't know if it's you, I didn't mean to offend, don't take it to heart. The old man is not young, but his hand strength is not ordinary, and the hand that pressed on Xu Ziling's shoulder pressed Xu Ziling steadily, preventing him from standing up and saluting. Since he didn't let him, Xu Ziling wouldn't blindly stand up, so he sat back on the ground honestly.

Seeing Xu Ziling sit down, Li Geng's hand on Xu Ziling's shoulder patted gently, "It's okay." I'll put those names aside, and I'm not the headmaster now. Just treat me like an old friend. I know you, Xu Ziling, the school is very famous. ”

Li Geng took fame very lightly, and while talking asked Xu Ziling to treat him as a friend of his peers, he stretched out his hand and asked him for cigarettes. "You know me all the time?" Xu Ziling asked questioningly while taking out a cigarette. I've never been in the classroom, and when I'm in school, I basically stay in the lab during the day, so how do I know myself?

Li Gengmei lit a cigarette with a zizi look, "I know, how can I not know." The champion of the national college entrance examination, the ninety-five gun family, the long-range sniper rifle, and the anti-equipment sniper rifle, which thing is not something that can shock a group of people by saying it. If I don't know you, doesn't that mean I'm outdated? The old principal squinted his eyes and smiled.

I didn't expect the old man to have the old naughty boy-like side, Xu Ziling never publicized these things, even when he met someone he knew, he wouldn't say it if there was no need to explain. Hearing what the old principal said, Xu Ziling could probably guess who said it, the teachers who were familiar with Xu Ziling were none other than those people, not them, and probably no one would mention him to publicize it.

Although he didn't say it himself, as soon as the old principal said it, Xu Ziling was still a little embarrassed, talking about his little achievements in front of an internationally famous figure, isn't that an axe in the class? Therefore, I don't know what to say all of a sudden.
