Since Watt invented the steam engine, Western countries have officially entered the industrial era. Both the country and individual companies have been continuously improving around the steam engine. From parts to parts to engines, each of their processes has
Every ingredient and every detail needs to be dug out from the heart bit by bit and overcome from failure.
These cannot be obtained in just a dozen years of higher education, and cannot be bought with any amount of money. You must go through so many failures before you can succeed later. There are no shortcuts. You must accept countless failures and be willing to do so.
acceptance.
What is China doing when Western countries are making progress alternately between continuous failures and successes? It is engaged in endless wars. How can the Chinese people bother to experiment when they don’t even have enough to eat? This time, there is a gap of nearly 100
years of time.
Some people may say, isn’t the 21st century an era of globalization? Why can’t countries get the corresponding technologies?
Science and engineering are two concepts. Science is shared, transparent and open, but engineering is confidential and private. The principle of the engine can be said to be extremely simple, and this principle has been used for more than a hundred years since the internal combustion engine has existed.
It has never changed: the combustion of fuel causes the gas to expand and push the piston to do work. But science is easy to say. How to use these boiled water-like theories that humans know to make the piston work?
The engineering of volitional behavior is a completely different matter: how to increase power, reduce weight, extend life, and improve efficiency can be said to be an endless journey. However, the engineering education in traditional industry can be said to be a mess, and the production technology
There is a serious disconnect with theory. The country may not be short of designers, but it is lacking of workers and masters at the bottom. What is lacking is more than a hundred years of foreign experience and lessons that are not impetuous.
After more than thirty years, the country has advocated a craftsman spirit, which is the kind of craftsmanship that constantly carves its own products, constantly improves its own craftsmanship, and enjoys the process of sublimation of the products in the hands.
Craftsmen have high requirements for details, pursue perfection and extreme, have persistent persistence and pursuit of fine products, and improve quality from 0 to 1. Although the benefits are small, they will benefit the world for a long time. Compared with Western society, today's
China's industry lacks this kind of craftsmanship. If there is a group of people who focus on machinery without any distractions, I am afraid that the height they will reach in a few decades will not be worse than that of developed countries.
"Alas, it seems that my idea is still too naive!"
Liu Lang sighed slightly after reading this book. His previous thoughts were quite naive, thinking that he could do something for the country's mechanical engineering. Now it seems that this is not only his own business. First, the country should also pay attention to it, but
The most important thing is that those enterprises must have the spirit of craftsmanship and not just make money.
In order to improve quality, for example, the book lists some Western companies, such as Caterpillar and Terex in the United States, and Komatsu and Hitachi in the island country. These companies all have a tradition of nearly a hundred years in engineering. They often make more than ten people for a certain part.
No such company has been born in recent years.
Technology is one thing, but more important is talent. After more than a hundred years of accumulation, Western countries have established a sound talent training system in industry. A large number of talents emerge in each generation. Even the most basic workers have unique skills.
Only when technology is in their hands can it truly form value, just like porcelain in Chinese history. In terms of technology,
This is not difficult. It is just to add various minerals to the clay and ionize these minerals at high temperatures to produce various colors. However, current technology cannot make those porcelains. Why? Isn't it because of those craftsmen back then?
Haven't the craftsmanship been passed down? Today, the country's industry is also facing the same problem.
"Hey! Liu Lang, it's time to eat and you're still studying here?"
A female student suddenly appeared at the door, pulling Liu Lang out of his thoughts.
This female student is a student from another major. Liu Lang has met her before, but does not know her name. However, she is Liu Lang’s name. Not to mention all the teachers and students in the school, including the master chef in the kitchen and the cleaning aunt.
Know.
"Oh! Have you eaten? So fast!"
The book was not thick. Liu Lang only spent an hour reading it, and he spent more time meditating. As a result, more than two hours passed in the blink of an eye, and it was already twelve o'clock at noon.
"Liu Lang, where are you?"
Jun Song shouted in the corridor that he was very competent as Liu Lang's "nanny".
"Here it is!"
Liu Lang packed up his things and ran out of the classroom.
"You didn't go to the Electrical Department to attend the class?"
"No, Professor Xiong gave me a book. I was fascinated by the book and forgot about it."
"Old Bear gave you a book? What book?"
Juniper asked curiously.
"A brief history of Western industrial development!"
Liu Lang took it out and handed it to the other party.
“You can tell it’s his book as soon as you smell it!”
There is a smell of engine oil in this book, not to mention the book, but also the smell on him. There is a laboratory in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It is called a laboratory, but it is actually a small workshop with a smelting furnace.
There are a lot of mechanical equipment. When students reach their sophomore year, they will go to this laboratory to conduct various experiments. Xiong Huaizhi also brings them in this laboratory when he is not in class. He often makes a greasy twist, and even in class.
He didn't change his clothes, so his things smelled like engine oil.
Jun Song took it and took a look and immediately gave it back to Liu Lang.
"It's all in English, how can I understand this? Here it is, here it is, you are the only one in the class who can understand it, but you have to be careful, that old bear uses our native dialect like a shell, you can't mess with him.
Get up!"
Xiong Huaizhi has already planted a shadow in the hearts of all students.
"Lao Du, Professor Xiong is a capable person."
"I know he is capable, but he can't deal with us like that. I studied the three questions he left in the last class, and I only know one. I don't even have any ideas for the remaining two questions. They will only be available after a month.
What have you learned, but what have you left behind if you haven’t learned it?”
"Don't worry, you can help me pack lunch and I'll tell you how to answer it!"
"That's great, let's go back to the dormitory first."
It's time to eat now. Hundreds of people are walking from the teaching building to the cafeteria. The students are chatting while walking.
"I heard that Professor Wu He came to class?"
"That's right! Our first class in the afternoon is his class, so let's show off!"
"Perform? How to behave? He is a great scholar who advises the country. Even national leaders have to listen to him. What skills do you have to make him pay attention?"
"Just listen to the lectures carefully. I am very interested in economics. If I study for graduate school in the future, I will study under him. Then I will have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of national policies. Then my ancestral graves will be filled with smoke!"
Several students passed by Liu Lang, and their conversation attracted Liu Lang's attention.
