After Liu Lang finished recording the song, he returned to Stanford University and couldn't wait to join Professor Claire's doctoral teaching.
What is the difference between a PhD and a master's degree? That is, the research topics are more in-depth and the difficulty is doubled.
It's like building a building. Undergraduate study is about laying the foundation. If the foundation is not good, the building will be useless. But graduate students are building the building to seven or eight floors. As long as the overall frame is built, there will be no problem and there won't be much complexity involved.
structural issues.
An ordinary building this high is enough, but how many people can live in a building with seven or eight floors? Then you have to build high-rise buildings, such as high-rise buildings that are hundreds of meters or even hundreds of meters high. Problems encountered in building such buildings
Far more than ordinary buildings, such as the depth of the foundation; the strength of the materials, etc. Even those buildings hundreds of meters high need to consider the impact of wind on the building and the shaking caused by earthquakes. It can be said that a building with a height of five
The 600-meter skyscraper represents the top technology in the construction industry.
The research topics at the doctoral level are the skyscrapers of their respective academics. How easy is it to build these skyscrapers? Especially Professor Claire’s doctoral students, what they study are the most advanced topics in the world. Perhaps the doctoral students
It is still far from the level of Professor Claire, and many difficult problems cannot be solved, but at least it is in the world's advanced ranks in terms of research direction. There is no doubt about this.
For example, Professor Claire's two "only remaining" doctoral students, one is called Bobby Kate, whose research direction is engine materials, and the other is called Leon Boot, who studies engine dynamics.
The projects involved involve many national secrets that ordinary people have no access to, but Liu Lang can now safely follow them and participate in research on various topics.
Involving secrets is a very serious crime for the country. Of course Professor Claire knows this, but having said that, the real secrets of the country are actually in his hands. As for the depth of the research of those doctoral students, he really doesn’t care.
What secrets? Even if they actually completed their respective research projects, they were still far away from the real core technology. In addition, he also wanted to see whether Liu Lang could master these more advanced knowledge, so he asked Liu Lang to join
His doctoral research group.
What does it mean that a mouse fell into a rice vat? This is what Liu Lang is doing now. This knowledge is not top technology for Professor Claire, but for Liu Lang and even for China, it is the most cutting-edge technology. No, it cannot be said that it is.
The most cutting-edge technology, because China is still far away from these.
In the previous life, China lagged far behind in the development of large aircraft. It was not until the new century that real research began. It was not until the mid-to-late 10s that China had its own large aircraft. But even then, the aircraft's engines were manufactured by foreign companies.
products, China still cannot manufacture its own aircraft engines.
In fact, three years ago, when Liu Lang was still in China, he heard that the country had launched a large aircraft development project. However, the country's industrial foundation was still very poor at that time, and even high-quality steel could not be smelted. This project was just
It was temporarily stagnant. Later, because of the stainless steel smelting furnace, as long as the stainless steel smelting furnace is continuously upgraded and transformed, it is possible to smelt the steel used in the engine. Therefore, the country launched a large aircraft project last year, with Shencheng Aircraft Factory and Sichuan Aircraft Factory
It was jointly developed by the Du Aircraft Factory, and Professor Xiong is also a member of the expert team.
Liu Lang has always wondered that in his previous life, even without his participation, the country should have started the large aircraft project in the next few years, but why did it stop midway? Even in the previous life, the country did not explain this matter. Anyway, there was something in the middle.
There has been a gap of more than ten years. If these years were not wasted, perhaps the country's industrial level would have a different look.
Of course, Liu Lang believes that the country will not be hot-headed in this life. After all, his book "Problems of the Future of the Country" clearly states that no matter how profitable the tertiary industry is, the industry cannot be relaxed. Whether the country is strong or not is fundamentally dependent on it.
It lies in the industrial foundation. Without a strong industry as a guarantee, the tertiary industry will not be reliable no matter how developed it is. The top leaders of the country attach great importance to this book. I believe that the country will not make the same mistake again in this life.
Not only will he not make mistakes, Liu Lang believes that as long as he fully learns the knowledge before him, it will be of fundamental help to the country's large aircraft technology. Perhaps in the new century, the country's large aircraft will be born.
Liu Lang entered the "rage" stage again, studying for more than fifteen hours a day, either in Professor Claire's laboratory or in his doctoral class. If he encountered a problem and didn't know it, he immediately asked Professor Claire.
When Claire was out, he ran to other professors' offices to figure out the problem. His state made Professor Claire overjoyed. This was the right learning attitude, so he taught even more enthusiastically!
In the blink of an eye, a month and a half has passed, and summer has entered Los Angeles. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and even hotter is the new song "Something Just Like This" that has entered the list on the "Billboard". This single MTV has released in Los Angeles Today
It premiered on the entertainment song channel, and sales reached 300,000 copies a week later, ranking second on Billboard's 22nd week chart this year.
While enjoying the exciting melody, audiences across the United States were also impressed by the excellent production of MTV's images, especially the huge and majestic Optimus Prime, which did not look like a model at all and was perfectly integrated with the characters inside.
, this kind of visual impact appeared in front of the world for the first time.
This MTV song caused a huge response as soon as it was released. It was still popular after it was listed on the US singles "Billboard". It ranked second on the Golden Singles Chart in the first week, and even reached the top of the list in the second week. Since then, it has continued to be popular.
It stayed at number one for five weeks and became the best single in May.
During this period, the song's MTV video also continued to sell well, with sales exceeding 700,000 copies, making it the best-selling single so far in 1987.
Not only was the sales of this song high, but it also caused a significant increase in sales of Transformers, especially the two products Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, whose sales increased by 20% compared to last month.
By the end of June, the video sales of this song exceeded one million, reaching the level of platinum album, and became the single sales champion in 1987. Although it was only the champion for half a year, according to the current development trend, it is likely to become the single sales champion.
It won the championship in 1987, but because the second place was far behind, the sales volume in half a year was only 500,000 copies.
