Technological Hegemony

The introduction meeting of the City of Stars project ended with deafening applause, and the smiles on people’s faces carried a sense of satisfaction, because City of Stars is not a simple real estate project, straight men will also make construction machinery, and field of power tools.

"My rabbit is known as an infrastructure madman. If we have black technology construction machinery, it will definitely improve a lot of efficiency!"

"As the old saying goes, if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Xingchen Technology must definitely support the development of electric tools. Of course, their real estate projects are also very strong, but I value super projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. I hope that after Xingchen Technology enters the field of civil engineering, we in Huaxia can build more large projects that benefit the country and the people."

"That's right! Star Technology is involved in civil engineering, and residential projects are only a small part of it. The real significance lies in the future, and the infrastructure madman will speed up!"

"Looking forward to the day when the northwest desert becomes an oasis! Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy."

"Star Technology builds cheap houses for us, and also distributes black technology tools to infrastructure madmen. I'm afraid this is the real meaning of Mr. Luo's speech today."

The people in Huaxia are talking about it. Compared with the skyscrapers, they are more pleased to see the future. Once the Pandora's box of civil engineering is opened, it will have a great impact on Huaxia itself, not to mention the whole world.

When the Loess Plateau turns into green mountains and green waters, when the Tarim Desert with a total area of ​​360,000 square kilometers turns into fertile land, when the water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is brought into the Northwest, and the Indian air explodes on the spot, the stars The social and historical significance brought by science and technology's entry into civil engineering can be truly realized.

As for skyscrapers, that's really just a tiny part of the civil engineering world.

Early the next morning, at the regular meeting of the management bureau, everyone looked embarrassed when they saw the newly released headlines.

"The brain power of the people is really strong. You see, the media is already imagining whether our civil engineering team can open a hole in the Himalayas and bring the warm current of the Indian Ocean to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau." Cao Yuan said with a look of embarrassment. : "Not to mention how difficult this thing is, changing the climate on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should bring about a chain reaction, right?"

"And this." Shen Lang continued: "The media in the Northeast strongly recommend that we install giant windshields on the northern border to block the Siberian cold current, and the Hainan side hopes that we will fill up the Qiongzhou Strait. The mainland borders, and I don’t want to be alone on the sea anymore.”

"No way, just fill up the Qiongzhou Strait?"

"The enthusiasm of the people of Hainan is understandable,

But are they misunderstanding? This workload is much larger than that of Yugong Yishan, and it is far more than Jingwei's reclamation. It is almost the same to transport the entire Taihang Mountain to the Qiongzhou Strait and then throw it down. "

"Impossible, at most a few bridges will be built, and the reclamation project is completely unnecessary."

There was a lot of discussion among the people, the enthusiasm of the masses for infrastructure construction was high, and they were also full of extraordinary enthusiasm for Xingchen Technology's involvement in the civil engineering industry. All kinds of whimsical ideas came out all of a sudden, and everyone regarded Xingchen Technology as a monkey. Count on them to pull off all sorts of crazy and risky super infrastructure projects.

An Ran frowned, and said to Luo Jia beside her, "What the hell did you talk about yesterday? Didn't you introduce real estate projects? Why did the whole country treat us as nuwas overnight? What the hell is filling up the Qiongzhou Strait? Even building bridges based on feelings can’t satisfy everyone’s appetite, so we have to transform the earth to enjoy it?”

Luo Jia gave An Ran a white look, "How do I know, what was said at the meeting was to build houses for everyone, develop communities, so that young people can settle down in big cities, maybe it was because they brought a few words about the prospect of construction machinery, which caused a lot of trouble. Everyone’s association with infrastructure.”

Turning the subject, Luo Jia said seriously: "But from a certain point of view, it is not a bad thing that everyone has high expectations. It shows that the masses have not been dazzled by real estate. Everyone still understands that infrastructure construction is far away. It is more important than building a few communities, although Huaxia has a huge territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, but there are also many areas with harsh environments."

"Our population is the largest in the world, but the area of ​​arable land is only the third in the world, even worse than India with 2.98 million square kilometers. This is the reality before us."

"Compared to the distant space, everyone is obviously more concerned about the hometown where our ancestors lived for generations. That's why we care so much and put forward so many ideas after we get involved in civil engineering."

"Anyway, on the road to the stars and the sea, civil engineering such as infrastructure and mining is absolutely indispensable, so let's just practice it and work hard to do civil engineering."

Everyone nodded. Although the civil engineering department is not as high-profile as the space elevator, it is of great significance and belongs to the field that must be involved sooner or later.

"That's fine." An Ran raised her eyebrows, "Step by step, take down the construction machinery first, sometimes I wonder why the development of fields that we don't involve is so slow, knowing that nowadays, the construction site It seems that as long as we don’t build pile drivers, other companies will have no way to overthrow the German mechanical hegemony.”

Li Moran thought for a while, "The software field is better, but I also discovered a phenomenon, star chart checking, satellite signal analysis, such top tools and software, we still need to do it, it seems that the folks are not interested in high-tech projects. The necessary means of overcoming are lacking.”

Cao Yuandao: "Yes, I have also noticed this phenomenon. I thought we would drive other domestic companies to take the high-tech route. However, until now, they are still developing slowly. The real high-tech cutting-edge technology still depends on us."

Everyone in the management bureau finds it incomprehensible. The progress of domestic enterprises is obviously slower than that of Xingchen Technology. Although it is much better than that of foreign countries, human beings will never be satisfied. Since it is a Huaxia enterprise, it should take Xingchen Technology as the benchmark. .

Luo Jia showed a complex look on his face, and said in a deep voice, "It's very simple, because there are not enough talents."

"No way." An Ran said, "We train the most engineers in the world every year, more than all countries combined."

Luo Jia spread his arms, "I didn't say there is a shortage of engineers. What we really lack is you, Cao Yuan, top talents with a doctorate or above."

"The data will not lie. As of 2018, my country has 19.5 million college graduates, while North America has 99 million people. In the talent competition at the university level, we have crushed North America and the world. In all countries, the 200 million college students are the cornerstone of China's progress."

"We have so many college students?" Li Moran asked in surprise, "Not necessarily, is there an error in this data?"

Luo Jia said: "There is no mistake, but the statistics are relatively loose. College graduates, adult college entrance examinations, and correspondence graduates are all counted in it. As we all know, many of our parents and grandparents have correspondence college diplomas, and such diplomas are usually It is used to mix professional titles, which is very watery."

"Of course, in the statistical data in North America, college students who are relatively poor like community colleges are also included. Everyone is equally divided."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, no wonder, the original correspondence college is also included in the statistics, but you can't say that the correspondence college is not a diploma, it's just that in a certain era in the past, the quality of education was worrying.

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "In any case, in the statistical category of college students, we are twice as high as North America, but when it comes to graduate students, the situation is reversed, and we are crushed by North America."

"Statistics also come from 2018. my country has more than 8 million masters, while North America has more than 38 million, more than four times our number."

"When it comes to top scholars with doctorates or above, the gap is even bigger. my country has more than one million doctors, while North America has 10.04 million. Of all the people living in North America, 3.16% are doctors. Of course Well, it also includes doctors of medicine, pharmacy, and even dentistry, but even if we only compare the number of PhDs, that is, the number of scientific research doctors, North America is eight times as many as ours.”

As soon as Luo Jia finished speaking, exclamations erupted in the conference room, and everyone was shocked by the exaggerated data.

"No way! The gap between top talents is so big!?"

"No wonder Di Wuchang's Human Resources Department has been frantically poaching talents in East Asia in the past two years. It turns out that it is because our country lacks top talents." Everyone discussed.

Luo Jia nodded slightly, then pulled the whiteboard casually and wrote on it.

"Our professional team is heading towards the one million mark. Among them, we have more than 200,000 top scholars with doctoral degrees. Almost one sixth of the country's PhDs are in Xingchen Technology, so we can develop rapidly. "

"We also need to understand another fact. Although there are 8 million masters and doctors in our country, they are still very young. They have been cultivated in recent years, and their average working life is only five years."

"As for the 38 million masters and doctors in North America, the average working life is 15 years. In the field of scientific research, talent is very important, but experience cannot be ignored. North America has not only a large number of senior talents, but also professional talents in their respective fields. He has practiced here for many years, and his combat power is terrifying."

"But don't be discouraged, everyone. Eight million is against thirty-eight million. We can still compete with North America to such an extent. In time, as the gap in top talents is bridged, the future must belong to us. After all, China is going crazy today. It is a pity that in the past few decades, we have cultivated too few top talents, which is the gap caused by history."

After listening to Luo Jia's introduction, everyone felt a little more comfortable. Perhaps working overtime is the fate of this generation of scientific workers. The gap in numbers can only be made up by the intensity of work.

In the real world, 20 undergraduates and 80 high school students can make things, such as household appliances, basic industrial products, etc., and my country has an absolute advantage over North America.

Twenty masters and 80 undergraduates can only produce things, such as mobile phones, computers, cars, etc., and our country is evenly divided with North America.

But when it comes to things that can only be produced by 20 PhDs and 80 masters, such as aero engines, chips, space shuttles, etc., there is a big gap between my country and North America.

Luo Jia said lightly: "The gap is huge, but there is not much time left for North America. As early as 2015 AD, the supply of master's degrees in my country has reached four times that of North America! The supply of doctorates is one-half that of North America. Point five times! In terms of talent supply, we have achieved a turnaround, and the remaining questions will be answered by time."
