Chapter 248 The assessment is over, but where will Duan Hongxuan go?
In order to make Duan Hongxuan's assessment rigorous and not leave any clues to others, Director Bai of the school's Academic Affairs Office specially made a form. The form was made in duplicate, with one copy kept by the Mechanical Department and one copy kept by the Academic Affairs Office for record.<
/p>
After filling out the form with yesterday's assessment results, Duan Hongxuan expressed his gratitude to Professor Li and Professor Wu who made a special trip.
Next, today's assessment began. Director Bai and Director Song from the Department of Physics also stayed to watch.
Because there is no need to do specific calculations, although each course needs to be assessed from freshman to senior, the speed is actually not slow. The assessment of the two courses was completed in one morning. Needless to say, Duan Hongxuan still has the results.
Passed with almost full marks.
This made Director Song so envious that he almost drooled. Director Bai also praised him repeatedly. All the teachers in the Mechanical Department were naturally happy. Director Zheng even announced happily that he would invite everyone to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, but he was
Everyone declined politely.
After signing and confirming the morning's assessment results, the teachers told Duan Hongxuan to take a good rest at noon and continue working hard in the afternoon, and everyone left one after another.
The assessment started on time at two o'clock in the afternoon, but the two people from the physics department and Director Bai were missing. Deputy Director Guo was still in charge of supervision.
As the supervisor of the Mechanical Department, Director Zheng has been at the assessment site and even postponed the work for the past two days. Firstly, to fulfill his supervisory duties, and secondly, to witness the entire assessment process with his own eyes and be the first to know the assessment results.
.
Teacher Lei has also been doing a good job in providing logistical services to everyone. At the same time, he is very happy that the department has such a special student as Duan Hongxuan.
Soon, the afternoon assessment ended successfully. Director Zheng couldn't be more satisfied with Duan Hongxuan's assessment results.
Thinking that Duan Hongxuan had conducted the assessment for two consecutive days, Director Zheng specifically asked Duan Hongxuan if he wanted to take a day off before continuing, but Duan Hongxuan politely refused.
Next, it took another day and a half to finally complete all the assessments, and Duan Hongxuan passed them all with excellent results.
After the final signature confirmation process was completed, warm applause erupted in the small conference room of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. All the teachers in the conference room excitedly looked at Duan Hongxuan with approval, and Duan Hongxuan also bowed to everyone and thanked them.<

Deputy Director Guo from the Academic Affairs Office came forward and patted Duan Hongxuan on the shoulder with a happy face: "Classmate Duan Hongxuan, congratulations!
You can be regarded as breaking a record in our school this time, and it is even unique in the country!
You have not only brought glory to your mechanical department, but also to our school!"
Then Deputy Director Guo turned back and asked Director Zheng: "Old Zheng, what are your department's plans for coming down?"
Director Zheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth at the moment, "Hahahaha, Lao Guo, since Duan Hongxuan has completed all four years of college courses, of course he has to graduate, is it possible that he is still wasting time in the classroom?
No?
But in the end it still depends on how the school responds to this matter.
I will prepare the materials in the afternoon and report to the principal in person.
Duan Hongxuan, if the school agrees to your graduation, what are your plans next?"
Duan Hongxuan had already thought about it and immediately replied: "Director, I still want to stay in school and improve further!"
"Okay!" Director Zheng nodded approvingly: "Do you have any specific ideas?"
"Director, does our school have a major in materials science?"
"Oh? Materials science? There is no such thing! Why are you suddenly interested in materials science again?" Director Zheng asked curiously.
"Director, that's what I think.
Since Mao Xiong tore up the agreement, withdrew all aid experts, destroyed and took away all technical data, many of the country's projects have come to a standstill.
Generally speaking, our country is relatively backward in the industrial field.
Mao Xiong's breach of contract is a major blow to our country's industrial development, but it is a blessing in disguise, and it is not an opportunity for us.
Because of this, we have to rely entirely on ourselves to develop our country's own industry.
The development of industry depends on equipment.
The manufacturing of equipment ultimately depends on two aspects, one is processing capability, and the other is design capability.
Let’s not talk about design capabilities for now, but processing capabilities depend on the processing accuracy and the materials being processed.
The processing precision is that although some high-skilled workers in our country can complete it by hand, they cannot achieve large-scale production, which restricts the scale of industrial production.
If we really want to carry out industrial production, we must require high processing accuracy in processing machine tools, and this is exactly the area where Western countries have restricted us. This requires us to design and produce our own high-precision machine tools on our own.
This is why I want to study mechanics!"
"Okay! Okay! If our country has more talents like Duan Hongxuan, I believe that one day, our country's industrial level will catch up with Western developed countries.
However, after you have been talking for a long time, it seems that these have nothing to do with the material!"
Director Zheng was happy, but also a little confused.
"Director, materials are also critical in industrial development.
Many times, even if we can perform high-precision processing, the processing materials are not up to standard, and we cannot process the industrial products we need. As a result, we have to spend precious foreign exchange to import many things from abroad at high prices.
Or the quality of the products produced is not up to par, and they can only be used for survival. They cannot compare with foreign products and are not competitive in the market.
If we can develop high-quality materials, the country can save a lot of foreign exchange and even earn foreign exchange through exports!
The simplest example is that many high-strength tools used in lathes can only be imported because we do not have the appropriate formula.
The value of a few kilograms of knives is even higher than the value of several tons of ordinary steel.
Both are steelmaking. For us, the cost of refining a few tons of ordinary steel and refining some high-strength alloy rigid materials will not be different in multiples, but the price difference of the finished product is dozens or even hundreds of times. On the one hand, this is because of the high added value that technology gives to industrial products. On the other hand, it is also because we cannot produce it, but we need it, so others try to get in our way and deliberately sell it at a high price, so that we have to spend a lot of money in vain! If we can have our own new material formula and produce materials with better performance than others, then not only will we not be stuck by others, but we can also make demands on them in turn.
So I believe that materials are the foundation for industrial development.
This is why I want to study materials science!”
After Duan Hongxuan finished speaking, everyone in the conference room stared at him with their mouths half open, dumbfounded, making Duan Hongxuan feel uncomfortable.
After a long while, Director Zheng patted Duan Hongxuan with a look of regret on his face, "Classmate Duan Hongxuan, you are very good!
Not only are you a genius in learning, but more importantly, you also have a clear mind, clear goals, and the ability to act to achieve your goals!
Okay, okay! That’s great!
It seems that I have to have a good talk with the principal in the afternoon!"
"Old Zheng, I'll go with you!" Deputy Director Guo next to him also said excitedly.
"Okay! Let's go find the principal together in the afternoon, and you happen to be a witness too!
Classmate Duan Hongxuan, unfortunately, our school does not have a subject on materials for the time being!
Do you have any other plans?"
"Then I hope to continue studying for graduate studies, but, director, I..." Speaking of this, Duan Hongxuan pretended to be embarrassed.
"To be honest, I have almost mastered the postgraduate courses by myself!
Are there any opportunities that would allow me to enter the front line of the factory and have access to specific machinery and equipment, such as machine tools?"
"What did you say? You have studied all the graduate courses by yourself?" Director Zheng grabbed Duan Hongxuan's arm in surprise and asked loudly.
Several teachers nearby, especially Professor Ma, stared at Duan Hongxuan with bright eyes.
Duan Hongxuan nodded sheepishly: "Director, if you don't believe it, why don't you take another assessment?"
Director Zheng and Deputy Director Guo couldn't help but look at each other, and then Director Zheng said helplessly to Duan Hongxuan: "Classmate Duan Hongxuan, can you make my heart less irritated!
Forget about the assessment, wait until the school’s research results come out. If you are approved to graduate, the department will find you a graduate tutor.
Graduate students must not only complete coursework, but also produce independent research results and papers.
You don’t have to go to class these days, just go back and wait for the notice!”
"Okay, director, thank you!"
"Wait a minute, classmate Duan Hongxuan, how about you just stay with my research group for the next few days.
I am also a graduate tutor, and I still have several research topics in hand. The most important thing is that I can let you get in touch with practical production work. How about it?
When the school results come out, don't bother, you can be my graduate student!" Professor Ma suddenly intervened, trying to grab Duan Hongxuan in advance.
He assessed Duan Hongxuan on the first day, and had a deep understanding of Duan Hongxuan's knowledge level. He knew that Duan Hongxuan was not boasting, and he also knew that Duan Hongxuan's actual level was just as good as the graduate students he had graduated quickly.
.
When the notice of Duan Hongxuan's undergraduate graduation comes out, the department doesn't know how many professors will come to compete for this talented student. His surname Ma may not be able to win it by then, so we should take advantage of this moment to get this talented student first.
Let’s wait until the matter is settled, otherwise why would he have been watching the assessment these days? I really thought he had nothing to do!
Professor Ma couldn't help but feel proud of his cleverness.
Director Zheng looked at Professor Ma: "Old Ma, Old Ma, you are so cunning! Your little calculation is pretty good!"
Professor Ma didn't care: "Huh! What's the point! Opportunities are prepared for those who are thoughtful.
Besides, do you dare to say that what I said is not true?
Do I have graduate students under my guidance? Do I have a research project in hand?
Then am I qualified to accept Duan Hongxuan as my graduate student?"
