83: Chapter 83 Technical Advisors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

Is this your chief technology officer?

Zheng Guochang followed the gazes of Lei Jun and the others, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

Looking at someone only eighteen or nineteen years old, at most just starting college, he had never imagined before that the chief technology officer of Fanmi Technology... would be so young!!

Subsequently, his gaze turned to the two people beside Zhou Fan, and he pondered secretly in his heart.

Clearly, Zhou Fan was late because of these two people.

He wasn't dissatisfied, just curious about their identities!

Beside him, Meng Ziang was equally surprised by Zhou Fan's age, but being a veteran in officialdom, he didn't show it.

Instead, he became even more convinced that this Zhou Fan was a rare genius; being able to become the technical core of Fanmi at this age and solve the problems of the national rocket project was, by comparison, what surprised him even more.

That's right, he is Zhou Fan!

Lei Jun hurriedly stepped forward to give a brief introduction for everyone.

He didn't know Qin Weimin and Chang Hongsheng, so he could only shoot a glance at Zhou Fan.

Hello, Director Zheng. Let me introduce them to you. This is Academician Chang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Professor Qin from Hangjiang University. My apologies, we were delayed a bit because of some matters at the laboratory...

Zhou Fan introduced them and smiled apologetically at Zheng Guochang.

Chief Zhou, you are too polite!

Zheng Guochang smiled, not daring to treat Zhou Fan as a junior at all.

Subsequently, he enthusiastically greeted Qin Weimin and Chang Hongsheng.

Looking at Chang Hongsheng, he gradually realized that this was likely the person who had applied for the commendation for Zhou Fan, or if not, was definitely related.

He was secretly shocked.

Although they were in different systems, they both worked for the country, and he knew better that academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences were the pillars of the country; calling them national treasures would not be an exaggeration!

Such a person had actually set aside busy research tasks to personally come and see Zhou Fan.

This made him attach even greater importance to it.

Director Zheng came here to announce the commendation from above, right?

Chang Hongsheng also said with a smile, but then changed the subject: Just in time, you can witness it. I also have an honor to present to Zhou Fan personally!

As he spoke, he solemnly took a box out of his briefcase.

The box opened, and inside was a red booklet, engraved with a familiar emblem that would make every Chinese person feel a burst of heat in their heart upon seeing it.

This is...

Zhou Fan was stunned for a moment, not expecting a personal commendation for himself; Chang Hongsheng hadn't mentioned this on the way here.

He glanced at Qin Weimin and saw him just smiling and nodding.

He understood immediately; it turned out he was the only one who didn't know...

Comrade Zhou Fan, on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I confer upon you the First Class National Technology Invention Award. I hope you can maintain the unceasing spirit of seeking truth on the path of exploring truth!

Chang Hongsheng held the little red booklet in both hands, his expression serious as he solemnly handed it to Zhou Fan.

Thank you to the organization and Academician Chang for the recognition!

Zhou Fan's face was also serious as he solemnly received the red booklet with both hands.

Although he had received countless honors in his past life, returning to this era, this was the first such honor, and his emotions couldn't help but fluctuate slightly.

The scene of receiving his first honor in his past life naturally emerged in his mind; that was when he was 30 years old, after completing the synthesis of a new type of carbon material in the research institute.

The familiar feeling was as if it were yesterday.

In addition, I also want to invite you to Kyoto in the name of the Rocket Engineering Project Team to act as a technical consultant and guide the project we are currently working on!

Chang Hongsheng's words shocked everyone in the conference room, and they couldn't help but look at Zhou Fan.

An academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences personally inviting him... as a technical consultant... to guide a national-level project!!!

It was like a fantasy!

Lin Wenwu and Zhou Guangming's eyes lit up; they clearly knew what the level of the Chinese Academy of Sciences represented. With their strength, if they went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they would probably only be at the level of a third-grade or at most second-grade researcher.

There was simply no comparison to a first-grade researcher and academician like Chang Hongsheng.

And this invitation from Chang Hongsheng undoubtedly placed Zhou Fan on the same level as himself.

A technical consultant for the Chinese Academy of Sciences!

They didn't even dare to imagine it.

Besides shock, the two felt more pride; after all, Zhou Fan was still the chief technology officer of Fanmi Technology. Going to the Chinese Academy of Sciences for technical guidance—if this got out, it would be absolutely insane!

On the side, Zheng Guochang's feelings were not as intense. After all, he was not a technical person, and his understanding of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was limited to it being very powerful and the place where the most scientific research talents in the country were concentrated.

But not being intense didn't mean he wasn't surprised.

After all, he knew the influence of this academician, Chang Hongsheng. Being invited by an academician to serve as a technical consultant, Zhou Fan's capability was self-evident; there was no need for any doubt!

He couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion again. To be valued so highly by Academician Chang and to be able to participate in a national-level project as a technical consultant at such a young age was unimaginable.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had come in person this time; otherwise, he wouldn't have known what he would have missed!

At this moment, he had made up his mind.

The attention paid to this company, Fanmi, must be placed in the first position!

He had a strong premonition...

Perhaps for the rise of Huaxia Technology, this company would really play a crucial role!

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Fan did not agree immediately.

Instead, he stood there and pondered.

The transparent ceramic crystal project at the warehouse base was now on the right track, and with Peng Yang in charge there, there shouldn't be any problems.

The various projects at Fanmi were also proceeding in an orderly manner, and even if problems were encountered, they could basically be solved through remote guidance.

Accepting this errand was not a problem, and since it concerned a national project, it was his duty to help if needed. Thinking of this, he asked casually.

How long will it take?

It's mainly about some application problems of your new material on core components. Short term, half a month; long term, one or two months. It specifically depends on the progress of the project...

Chang Hongsheng pondered slightly and said.

Okay, when are we leaving?

Zhou Fan didn't hesitate too much.

He actually could roughly guess the reason Chang Hongsheng asked him to go over; it was nothing more than some extended applications of the new high-temperature resistant material.

He had only taken this project out for Chen Bing and the others to practice with; he himself was already clear on it. If he went to Kyoto, it probably wouldn't take much time.

The sooner the better, depending on your arrangements!

Chang Hongsheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

Okay, then I'll give some instructions here, and I'll leave with you later!

Good!
