After careful calculation, he has not been to China for more than 20 years.

Even many old friends who once had contact in China have gradually lost contact.

As an old academician in aviation, Askar Ilyasov once dominated the world and made great contributions to the Soviet aerospace engineering.

It is also an authoritative presence in the world's aviation industry.

Later, when Russia could provide fewer and fewer scientific research funds, he also left the institute and returned to university to teach and educate people.

More than 20 years ago, some friends would often call him to ask for advice on aerospace issues.

But gradually, fewer and fewer people asked questions, and gradually the phone calls turned into ordinary greetings. Later, he didn't want to answer those calls anymore.

In the past twenty years, he has mostly watched the country next door on the news. From the little brother he was before, he has slowly grown into a behemoth and has become the other pole of the world.

And today, they are actually taking their students to China to participate in an aviation competition.

This feeling made the old man feel even more uncomfortable.

The student's words made him even more helpless.

In all these years, how has he ever understood this country?

"China...if you go there, you will know where it is."

The students nodded in understanding, and then another student asked: "Teacher... Is China's aviation very powerful? I have never heard of any teacher working in China before. Is that backpack aircraft really that powerful?

?This thing really works?"

"Whether China's aviation industry is strong or not, won't you know if you go this time?" Ilyasov replied, "I take you to China just to let you see more, learn more, and understand more...

...Only in this way can you better build our country."

The old man said this, but his mood became obviously depressed.

His life was full of success, and he brought out more than twenty outstanding students, but none of these students wanted to stay in Russia, in graduate schools or universities.

Almost all of his students have now been poached by several major flying companies with high salaries.

He can understand his students' choices. Who doesn't want their family to live a better life?

As long as our own country can see a little hope, it will not abandon it like a worn-out shoe.

But... where is the hope?

he does not know.

Many times, he doesn't even know what's going on in this country.

In terms of GDP per capita, Russia is still higher than China.

But what are Russia’s pillar industries?

It is resources such as oil and natural gas.

Russia has actually been developing over the years, from a cliff-like decline after the collapse of the Soviet Union to a slow GDP growth now.

But the country next door is a monster.

Compared with it, all countries seem to be standing still.

It even seems to be regressing.

In fact, what he is most worried about is the loss of talent.

As the best university in Russia, Moscow State University is only ranked tenth in the world and has been far left behind by the world's mainstream academic circles.

If you look carefully, the decline of Russia began with the decline of several schools of thought in Russia.

Without the science and technology that leads the world, there will be no ability to attract talents from around the world, and naturally there will be no joint influence.

He took these students to China to participate in this competition, hoping to give them a long experience.

After all, Dongwon University has many of the world's top disciplines.

And this year, I'm afraid there will be one more.

He didn't dare to take these people to the United States, for fear that the students would not want to come back...

China shouldn't be that attractive.

Ilyasov muttered.

"Speaking of this kind of backpack aircraft, we also studied it when we were young, but the data has long been lost...probably sold by some prodigal son at a low price..." Ilyasov smiled bitterly.

, "The technology at that time was limited, but now with the rapid development of computers, a lot has really changed..."

If it had not been sold at a low price, it might be another GE MF101 engine if it was dug out from the old papers.

Perhaps with such a cash cow, Russia's aerospace industry can continue to thrive, hatch a competitive company, and retain a few talents to pass on the incense to Russia.

"Teacher, if your original research is still there, you will definitely be much better than them! No matter the canned turbofan or MF101, they are no match for you!" A student clenched his fists and raised his head expectantly, as if he had returned from a dream.

That glorious era.

"Maybe." Ilyasov smiled and turned to look out the window.

The slow green leather train was moving slowly, slowly, swaying all the way, heading into the distance in an unknown direction.

…

At Dongyuan University, Wen Xiaowen and Hua Minyu were saying goodbye to Gu Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, I'm going to go back and draw up a song list to be selected to see what is good. If you have a song you want to sing,

Tell me too."

"Okay." Gu Xiaobai replied.

A perfunctory look on his face.

Although it was a diss competition, Gu Xiaobai really had no interest in dissing the three girls.

The difficulty is too low.

"Okay, leave everything to me!" Wen Xiaowen patted her chest, "I will definitely diss them until they cry and admit defeat!"

Gu Xiaobai was speechless, Sister Xiaowen, you don’t have to be so high-spirited!

At this moment, Gu Xiaobai's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and signaled that he wanted to answer the call. Over there, Hua Minyu and Wen Xiaowen had already left and ran to catch the campus commuter bus.

Seeing the two people running away quickly, Gu Xiaobai answered the phone: "Hey, Teacher He, have you changed your mind and want to come to our laboratory? I will give you ten times your current annual salary!"

"Cough cough cough cough!" Opposite him, He Shisong was so choked by Gu Xiaobai's words that he almost couldn't breathe.

Since the reorganization of Gu Xiaobai's laboratory, the aviation department of the power laboratory has lacked a leader at the helm, so Gu Xiaobai has always wanted to recruit He Shisong.

However, He Shisong has a feeling that he is incompatible with his country, and plans to continue to fight in the Aviation Group to the end, which makes Gu Xiaobai a little regretful.

"Xiao Bai, I really can't leave now, but I would like to recommend a candidate to you..."

"My position is reserved for you." Gu Xiaobai's words moved He Shisong.

However, he still composed himself and said: "Xiaobai, have you heard of Askar Ilyasov?"

"Ilyasov... this old man, besides his status, he has nothing else now." Gu Xiaobai's answer was really harsh to He Shisong's ears.

"Actually, this is not the case. Your position does not require high scientific research ability, but management ability. Let me tell you a few projects that Ilyasov has hosted. You will understand after listening...More

The most important thing is that he is on his way to Dongwon University now."
