Chapter 100: Participating in the Water Molecule Project with the Teacher?

Wang Qiang didn't care about what those professors were thinking, and he didn't mind either.

Li Mingyang is his true disciple in the real sense, a student whom Wang Qiang has poured genuine effort into cultivating as the inheritor of his mantle.

Wang Qiang's heart not only lacks similar emotions, but even feels only joy; the more Li Mingyang's performance becomes perverse and formidable, the happier Wang Qiang becomes.

Because everything Li Mingyang is showing now lets Wang Qiang see that the other has hope of surpassing him.

It is also the hope of becoming the pillar of the country's next-generation aircraft, so naturally Wang Qiang is quite happy.

Out of his strong confidence in Li Mingyang, Wang Qiang, as a teacher, didn't utter a single word throughout the entire thesis defense.

His face was written with pride; he almost wanted to stamp 'This is my disciple' on his own face.

As for the level Li Mingyang showed in the three thesis defenses, the other professors naturally had no objections.

He also smoothly passed the three consecutive graduation defenses; even the moment Li Mingyang submitted his thesis, those teachers already knew the outcome.

Knowing that this so-called thesis defense venue was merely a formality, some professors even sincerely believed!

Given the standard Li Mingyang displayed in his doctoral dissertation, I might not even be able to match his level.

Thus the atmosphere of Li Mingyang's entire defense was quite relaxed and pleasant, after all, a few other teachers were so interested they dared not speak.

Let alone having to answer a few questions like in an ordinary defense, picking faults, to test you.

They feared that if they got angry, they'd instead be picked apart by Li Mingyang, the student, and if that happened they'd be speechless……

Wouldn't the atmosphere on site be rather awkward? So it's better to stay low-key.

……

"Mingyang, you're now basically a formal graduate; I don't know what plans you have for your future studies and life."

"If not, I happen to have a pretty good suggestion; I wonder if you're interested, Mingyang."

Because the thesis defense went very smoothly, it naturally ended early; even though it started in the afternoon, after it finished the master and disciple still caught the dinner hour.

Although neither of them is short of money, they also didn't have extravagant demands; they simply found a simple iron-pot stew place near the school gate.

At most, because of the conversation's content, they asked for a slightly larger private room.

(To be honest, this iron-pot stew is really delicious, addictive!)

"I naturally will follow the teacher's arrangements; don't think that just because I've graduated as a student there aren't still many things to learn."

"Even if the teacher doesn't bring up this topic, I'll shamelessly go to the teacher's door, just so the teacher can give me more guidance and I can study hard."

Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Li Mingyang didn't hesitate even a second, directly agreeing with a firm tone, his expression like joining the Party.

His eyes were full of sincere feeling!

"Haha, you little slickster, you thought after a few days of training your personality would mature a lot. But looking now…"

"But that's fine; a rigid, by-the-book type can't achieve anything in the research world because they lack innovation."

"A personality like yours is just right; who knows, maybe one day a sudden flash of inspiration will directly solve a big problem."

Saying this, Wang Qiang paused; since they'd already decided to bring his own little disciple along and personally cultivate him, there was no need to keep many things secret.

However, out of caution, Wang Qiang first checked the surroundings, then lowered his voice.

To ensure that after he spoke, only Li Mingyang could hear it, with no second person able to listen; although it looked a bit like sneaking, of course this is also necessary for confidentiality work.

"You know about bombers, right? For example, the B-2 bomber of the white-headed eagle across the ocean—that thing is quite famous."

"Our country only has the Sixth Elder that's been in service for decades, although they're constantly being improved and updated."

"But compared to the world's top bombers, it's still lacking a bit, so the state is now vigorously developing this technology."

"Don't hide it from you; the teacher has basically been busy with this over the past half year."

"If you, kid, can endure loneliness and prepare to disappear from this world for at least a few years…"

"As the chief engineer of the Project Department, even though the project has already progressed halfway and formally started operation, slipping a person in is still no problem."

Wang Qiang didn't go into too much detail, but Li Mingyang, no matter how you say it, is someone who was reborn not long after ten years.

Naturally knowing what the teacher's talking about, that's our country's unique bomber, the H-20.

Its designation is H20, also jokingly called the Water Molecule by netizens.

Originally this bomber was supposed to roll out fresh at the end of 2020, then be exposed to the world's view.

It can be said to be an advanced bomber far ahead of current world bomber levels, just like our country's sixth-generation fighter that appeared at the same time.

Its emergence and level are completely not something that other similar products can try to leech off of.

Being able to participate in such a massive project, whether in his past life or this one, is something Li Mingyang could never have imagined.

But unexpectedly, this opportunity is now right before his eyes; Li Mingyang hesitating even a second would be disrespect to the Water Molecule.

So……

"No problem, of course there's no problem; it's just a few years, right?"

"Please, when you go back, be sure to bring me along; I'm still young as a student, I don't have much else, the most I have is time!"
