Great Power Technology

While the Huawu Institute was nervously conducting the final test of the inertial confinement fusion device, on the other side, in a red house in the Imperial Capital, a crucial meeting was also underway.

The topic of the meeting was related to fusion, but it was not entirely a technical discussion. In fact, what these key executors of the entire national strategy gathered in the conference room discussed was about the successful commercialization of nuclear fusion. , will have a huge impact on the entire world.

Every new energy revolution is no small matter. In the last one, sulfur-silicon battery technology has shattered the traditional fossil energy order. The reason why it is still hanging on now is mostly because of oil and fossil fuels. There are a wide range of edge industries with products, as well as the modern aviation industry’s irreplaceable demand for fossil energy.

Of course, in addition to this, the official intention of various countries to control the rate of elimination of fossil energy is also an important reason. No one wants to see the collapse of the entire socio-economic system or even the collapse of the entire social order due to an energy revolution.

The output value and jobs created by the petroleum industry are beyond imagination. Once it enters the stage of large-scale elimination and a large number of labor forces flood into the market, competition will inevitably intensify.

As for ordinary people who have worked in their original jobs all their lives, it is difficult for them to adapt to new jobs and maintain their original living standards after losing their jobs.

It is not difficult to ensure their basic living standards. Due to the large-scale use of grain production-increasing technology, the goal of "keeping people from starving to death" has basically retreated to the edge of China's strategic goals - it is too simple, and in just three years In less than a year, after the use of genetic production-increasing technology, the grain output of the entire China reached an unprecedented peak in history.

The grain reserves are so sufficient that there is no need for additional control over grain prices - its price has stabilized at the official guidance price, and administrative enforcement has ensured that it will not continue to fall, regardless of market supply and demand. Changes are like this.

However, staying alive and not starving to death is definitely not the only goal of the Chinese people. How to live better and maintain their dignified lifestyle as modern people and Chinese people is the real goal. Something to consider.

"Everyone is aware of the situation, so we won't elaborate further and will go directly to the discussion."

"There are two main topics discussed. The first is where our traditional power companies should go after nuclear fusion power generation is rolled out."

"Second, when technology is undergoing large-scale upgrading and traditional workers are unable to adapt to nuclear power technology, where should workers go?"

"Let's go to free speech. Who will speak first?"

The question was asked by a man in Chinese tunic suit sitting in the middle. His eyes swept across the conference room, and one of the gray-haired old men immediately raised his hand.

The old man’s name was Hu Shuangyou, a well-known domestic economist and sociologist. He cleared his throat and was about to stand up from his chair when the man in Chinese tunic suit raised his hand to stop him.

"You can just sit down and talk. There are not many people today, so you can hear clearly even if you sit down."

"No, I'm still standing - for such an important issue, at least you have to correct your attitude first."

Hu Shuangyou stood up stubbornly. He had always been such a rigid, old-school scholar. Others knew this too, so they stopped trying to persuade him.

"I think these two issues are actually the same issue, that is, the issue of workers' education."

"Industrial transformation, technological innovation, social change, all these problems actually come down to the same problem, and that is education."

"If our workers can learn new knowledge and master new skills, then this large number of workers will not have to lose their jobs, but can be directly transferred to new industries and become a new available labor force."

"If this can be done, then all the problems we are discussing today will be easily solved. Of course, the expected major social problems will basically not arise."

After hearing what Hu Shuangyou said, everyone in the conference room nodded. In fact, this is a very basic, but also very stable and correct solution. It improves the education level of workers, provides skills training to workers, and allows them to directly transfer Entering a new job can indeed solve the problem fundamentally.

However, this solution is too slow and the training cycle is too long. For companies, instead of waiting for worker training to be completed, they might as well directly recruit a new batch of capable workers.

After all, even state-owned enterprises must consider their own operating efficiency - with such a large base, it is difficult to support financial funds, especially when there are already many large-scale projects in progress.

"You always talk about a fundamental solution, but you also know the problem with this solution. The cycle is too long, and we probably won't be able to wait that long."

“I personally believe that this problem is one that requires both root and symptom treatment.”

“As you always say, workers’ education is a permanent solution, but before this program is completed, we still need to treat the symptoms.”

The person who refuted Hu Shuangyou was a middle-aged man named Chu Liuhe. Unlike his grand name, he was actually a thin, elegant, white-faced scholar.

Hu Shuangyou nodded and replied:

"Liuhe, your point of view is correct. Before the workers' education is completed, we do need certain transitional means - in fact, it is not just the field of power generation. In recent years, our technology has been updated too fast. Almost all of the country's The industry is undergoing changes, and it is very serious that workers’ learning speed cannot keep up with the speed of technological updates.”

"It can be said that we are almost on the verge of life and death now. If we do not carry out large-scale worker education work, then soon, within one or two years at most, a large-scale unemployment wave will come."

"This is the so-called new technology trap - although we have worked very hard to control the rhythm in the early stage, such traps still appear. There is no way."

Having said this, Hu Shuangyou sighed with a wry smile and said:

"That kid Ye Zhou. He is really solving problems for us on the one hand, and posing them for us on the other."

After hearing his words, everyone in the conference room laughed, and the atmosphere became lighter.

As Hu Shuangyou described it, this is actually a "sweet trouble". Although he occasionally complains, who doesn't want to see such great strides forward?

After laughing for a moment, Chu Liuhe said:

"In fact, it is difficult to have a good solution to the problem you mentioned. It is nothing more than social security and financial subsidies. Let me tell you my opinion first."

"In fact, ensuring the people's basic life mainly focuses on the four aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now there is no big problem with food, clothing, housing and transportation. The most important thing is the problem of housing."

"I think we should start from several aspects."

"The first one is to build public housing on a large scale; the second one is to completely abandon the old land fiscal policy and find alternative development strategies - we couldn't do this before because of insufficient 'water sources', but now we have In fact, it occupies the world's technological high ground, and it is not difficult to achieve this."

"Giving up some patents, exporting some technologies, and exporting technological finished products on a large scale with reduced profits, these three measures are enough to make up for the gap in land finance."

"Third, we need to regulate the market order. For some companies, let them die and use coercive means to recover their property - don't consider moral and immoral issues. The bonus period of RSA decryption technology is about to pass. We must make good use of this." The final window.”

When Chu Liuhe said these words, the entire conference room fell into silence. Those who had come into contact with him for the first time only then understood why he could carry such a domineering and revealing name, because the strategies he proposed were also real. Just like the Overlord of Chu, he marches forward unwaveringly and kills fiercely.

Although they did not say it clearly, everyone knows what the so-called "technology export" and the so-called "RSA technology dividend" mean.

The man in tunic suit in the middle nodded and said:

"Liuhe, your strategy is going to be implemented, but the specific implementation still needs to be discussed - we need to scrape the bones to cure the poison, but we cannot directly amputate the limbs."

"Beyond your strategy, we need a softer strategy for the transition."

“Transition Strategies of Transition Strategies.”

"Anyone have any ideas?"

"Yes, does it count as one when people go overseas? Now our routes have begun to spread all over the world, the number of large aircraft movements has reached the second place in the world, and the difficulty of traveling has been further reduced. I think it is also a plan to allow our people to go out in an appropriate manner."

"I also have an idea. The Tongtianhe project was also responsible for absorbing labor when it was first established. We might as well move the schedule of this project forward. After all, the project itself is not technically difficult in construction and is used to absorb and eliminate the labor force. It’s just right for industrial workers.”

"My opinion is that subsidies cannot be absent. To be honest, we have enough money now. If we continue to distribute it in a precise and targeted manner, we will solve the problem first. As for the inflationary pressure in the economy, we can channel it through the channels that have been established. South Island.”

The discussion was in full swing. At the end, when everyone stopped talking, a young scholar raised his hand and said:

"I have an idea."

"You said. Your name is Xiaosong, right?"

The man in Chinese tunic suit nodded.

"Yes leader."

Xiaosong's expression was obviously a little nervous. He raised the PAD in his hand and said to everyone:

"I have just confirmed with the General Technical Office and the BCI team of Zhejiang University. They believe that BCI transmission technology has been basically mature, side effects have been basically eliminated, and the conditions for large-scale equipment production are basically in place."

"In other words, this technology can be used on a large scale."

After hearing his words, everyone's expressions froze.

The first person to react was Hu Shuangyou. He looked at the man in Chinese tunic suit, who nodded slowly, and then said:

"It seems that this time, Mr. Hu, your plan will be upgraded to the first priority."

"Training may not necessarily require people to do it, and it doesn't take as long as we think."
