The next day, on behalf of Transwarp, Zhizi signed a cooperation agreement with the Westlake Education Foundation, and the first phase of one billion RMB funds was directly transferred to the accounts of the Westlake Education Foundation.

At the same time, Westlake University also announced on its official website that Pang Xuelin will serve as the honorary chairman of the board of trustees of Westlake University.

You must know that the previous honorary chairman of the board of directors of Westlake University was Mr. Yang Zhengning, and Pang Xuelin is now also the honorary chairman of Westlake University, which is enough to explain his current status.

As soon as this news came out, it quickly sparked heated discussions in the outside world.

"Do you think that in the academic world now, Yang Zhengning's status is higher or Professor Pang's status is higher?"

"So far, it should still be Yang Zhengning, Yang Zhengning is the top five figures in the history of physics, and Professor Pang should only be in the top ten in the history of mathematics, right?"

"What about the Nobel Prize? What about the Golden Dragon battery? In terms of contribution to the country and the nation, Professor Pang is higher than Mr. Yang Zhengning......"

"Yang Zhengning and Pang Xuelin, the two bigwigs, actually serve as the honorary chairman of the board of directors of Westlake University at the same time, is Westlake University going to heaven?" ”

"What's the use of the honorary chairman of the school board of trustees, it's not a nominal title yet."

"I'm afraid you haven't seen another news, Transwarp Technology injected 1 billion RMB into the first phase of the West Lake Education Foundation, and it is said that from this year, Transwarp Technology will invest 3 billion RMB in Jiang University and Westlake University respectively every year."

"I originally wanted to apply for Jiang University this year, but the score line of Jiang University's mathematics, materials, and chemistry is too high, and the major with a low score line is not what I want, so maybe I can go to Westlake University to try."

"You'd better go and read the latest admissions brochure of Westlake University, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you think......"

……

All kinds of news from the outside world are flying all over the sky, but Pang Xuelin doesn't have so much time to pay attention to the affairs of Westlake University.

After pulling Shi Yi into the Qiantang laboratory, Pang Xuelin handed over the docking work with Westlake University to Xu Xingguo.

As for Jiang Da's side, naturally he won't have any opinions.

Anyway, as long as Pang Xuelin doesn't leave Jiangda, no matter how Pang Xuelin tosses outside, Xu Xincheng said it doesn't matter.

And Pang Xuelin himself went directly to the capital.

After the Chinese New Year, the electromagnetic orbital launch system and the aerospace aircraft project officially entered the substantive promotion stage.

The command structure of this project is similar to the 921 project (China Manned Space Project), which is also organized and directed by the China Manned Space Office.

In addition, the research and development and construction work will be organized and carried out according to the two command lines of administration and technology, and the only difference is that the original system of joint meetings of the commander-in-chief and the chief designer has been abolished, and Pang Xuelin will be the first time in history to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief and the chief designer at the same time.

All important issues involved in the implementation of the project will be decided by Pang Xuelin, and only when major decisions are made need to be reported to the leadership for approval before implementation.

Of course, perhaps because they were worried that Pang Xuelin would not be able to control such a huge project, the senior management also sent several old acquaintances as Pang Xuelin's deputies.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the project is General Tao Yongchang, who has worked in the field of manned space engineering for a long time and is familiar with all aspects of the space system.

As for the deputy chief designer of the project, Academician Ma Jingwu and Academician Guo Guangkun served as respectively.

Among them, Ma Jingwu is mainly responsible for the research and development of the electromagnetic orbital catapult system on the ground, while Academician Guo Guangkun is responsible for the research and development of the aerospace aircraft.

As for Pang Xuelin, in addition to coordinating the overall situation, he will also be responsible for the research and development of the most difficult high-power Hall thrusters, room-temperature superconducting materials, high-power graphene energy storage devices, flying blade materials, etc.

Pang Xuelin stayed in the capital for a week, and spent most of his time in non-stop meetings, discussing specific technical implementation routes with Ma Jingwu and Guo Guangkun and assigning relevant tasks.

It was only the day before he left the capital that he met Yao Bingxia.

Subsequently, Pang Xuelin rushed to Luzhou and went to the University of Science and Technology of China to meet Cao Yuan and prepare to chat with him about the progress of room-temperature superconductor research.

As the so-called poor Tsinghua University, rich Peking University, don't want to come to HKUST.

In terms of research in the field of basic sciences alone, HKUST is unique in China.

Among the six basic disciplines of mathematics, physics and chemistry, except for mathematics and biology, the other four disciplines are all A+.

Before Pang Xuelin came to Jiang University, even Pang Xuelin himself had to admit that the research strength of HKUST in basic science was higher than that of Jiang University.

Just look at the founders of several basic disciplines at HKUST.

Hua Luogeng, the founder and pioneer of analytic number theory, matrix geometry, canonical groups, automorphic function theory and multivariate complex function theory in China, founded the Department of Mathematics at HKUST and served as the first chair of the department.

Qian Xuesen, the father of the two bombs, a world-renowned aerodynamicist, the father of China's manned spaceflight, the father of China's missiles, and the founder of China's automatic control, founded the Department of Modern Mechanics of HKUST and served as the first head of the department.

Guo Yonghuai, the father of the two bombs, is one of the founders of modern Chinese mechanics and the first director of the Department of Chemical Physics of USTC.

Pei Shizhang, one of the founders of cytology and embryology in China, the founder of biophysics in China, and the first director of the Department of Biophysics at USTC.

Zhao Zhongyao is a pioneer of nuclear physics research and accelerator in China, and the first director of the Department of Modern Physics at USTC

……

This is the only university named after science and technology in China, which can be described as unique in China.

In the 80s of the last century, the admission score of USTC was even much higher than that of Qingbei, which can be called a BUG-like existence.

Nowadays, many well-known professors of USTC are students trained at that time, and they have returned to their alma mater to teach after going abroad.

This is also the reason why USTC weakened at the end of the eighties of the last century, and has regained its vitality in the last ten years with its own super heritage.

The only thing that makes Pang Xuelin feel a little regretful is that the undergraduate education of HKUST is super-first-class, which can be called the Chinese version of Princeton, but the training of master's and doctoral degrees is weak, resulting in a super high rate of students going abroad.

During this trip to the University of Science and Technology, Pang Xuelin was relatively low-key and specially informed Cao Yuan not to make a big fuss.

After entering the university, the car quickly stopped at the entrance of the Luzhou National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale on the East Campus of the University of Science and Technology, where Cao Yuan had been waiting for a long time.

"Professor Pang, hello, welcome to USTC, please come inside!"

"Hello, Professor Cao!".

Pang Xuelin shook hands with Cao Yuan, and soon followed him into the building of the National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale.

The predecessor of the Luzhou National Research Center for Physical Science at the Microscale was the Luzhou National Laboratory for Physical Science at the Microscale, which was renamed the National Science Center because it had not been able to get rid of the title of "preparation".
