Seeing that Liu Lang was anxious, Xiong Huaizhi shook his head.
"Liu Lang, you are too anxious. There is at least a fifty-year gap between our industrial level and that of the United States, and it cannot be achieved overnight.
You have to chase, but you can't take too big a step. If it's too big, it's unrealistic. It becomes a "leap forward". Think about it, even if we now have what you call...a chip-controlled four-axis
Linked CNC machine tools, who knows how to use such complex equipment?
Equipment is actually just a tool. The most important thing is talent. Only if our people master these technologies can they manufacture and use them. This is the most critical thing! Huaxia Industry is to cultivate our country's own modern industry.
Talent, with talent, the industrial level will naturally rise!"
Xiong Huaizhi's words are very reasonable. If you have talents, you will have everything. Without talents, no matter how good the equipment is, it will be useless. It is not your own thing.
Of course, Liu Lang also knew this truth, but he felt that the knowledge in his head was not difficult and others could fully learn it. As long as he learned this knowledge, wouldn't the country have talents?
In fact, Liu Lang didn't know that he had gradually fallen into the vicious circle of being "cursed by knowledge".
What is "cursed by knowledge"? For example, Einstein established the general theory of relativity, space, gravity, black holes and other knowledge. In his eyes, it was as easy to understand as a primary school textbook, but in the eyes of others, it was the truth of nature and lasted a lifetime.
I'm afraid I can't even understand it.
Ordinary people become very "weird" in Einstein's eyes. Why can't you understand such a simple thing?
At this time, Einstein fell into the "curse of knowledge" because his intelligence exceeded many of his contemporaries.
Now Liu Lang has begun to develop in this direction, but Professor Xiong's words still made him react.
Yes! I'm too anxious. The country's industrial development still needs to be done steadily and cannot be achieved overnight!
Liu Lang patted his head. Nowadays, machine tools basically don't even have transistor control systems. How about integrated circuit control systems? His steps are really too big.
"Professor, how are the public employees doing this year?"
When Liu Lang thought of talents, he immediately thought of the Huaxia Industrial Technology public employee plan that was implemented this year.
Every year, Wan'an Company sponsors Huaxia University with half a million U.S. dollars to support outstanding students to study abroad. Half a million U.S. dollars is a lot, but Huaxia University has more outstanding students. This amount of money is still not enough. There can only be 20 students.
Funding is available around the clock.
When Liu Lang returned to China half a year ago, Xiong Huaizhi once mentioned to Liu Lang that Huaxia Industrial Technology spent its own money to send out employees. Every year, Huaxia Industrial Technology spends 500,000 yuan to send ten employees to excellent foreign universities for one year.
Visiting study for a limited period of time, in fact, this kind of study is to go to the graduate school to engage in research on some topics.
The study content of graduate students in the West is also very profound, and will involve many aspects that China has no contact with at this stage. This is a way for students to quickly improve their abilities. For example, the Graduate Department of the School of Engineering at Stanford University can solve the problem of the second generation of the country.
Some problems with machine tools.
In fact, students in the School of Engineering of Huaxia University have learned a lot of advanced foreign engineering knowledge over the past year. The textbooks compiled by Huaxia University have become unified textbooks for national engineering universities and are distributed across the country. This knowledge was brought back by Liu Lang
, are all treasures.
Then the professors from the School of Engineering classified and compiled them and added them to the original textbooks, which suddenly improved the quality of university textbooks a lot.
But no matter how talented Liu Lang is, he can't be proficient in everything. International students and visits and exchanges are another way to learn advanced foreign technologies.
"Of course the employees of Huaxia Industrial are not bad. They are all top students. The ten people today are all excellent graduate students. They were sent to the United States, Germany, France and island countries for exchange visits. But to be honest,
The students with the best quality this year are actually students from your class. Twelve of them have become full-time employees. Your three roommates are the best at studying. The three of them can definitely study for a master's degree and a Ph.D., but according to the
You still want them to go abroad for postgraduate studies.
The three little guys also tried their best and stood out and took away the three places funded by Wan'an Company, which made the teachers of other colleges very angry! However, the selection of the twenty places was completely open and fair, without any "stuff", so they did not
There's no point in being happy.
But I heard that the selection method will change next year, and each college can only have a maximum of two places!"
Xiong Huaizhi said with a smile.
Wanan Company's funding is for students from all majors at Huaxia University. There are thousands of students from more than 20 colleges, and there are nearly a hundred people who are eligible to participate in the selection. This time, the School of Mechanical Engineering snatched three at once, which is indeed a bit
"Excessive", and these three people were classmates in the same dormitory. Liu Lang guessed that there were his own factors in this.
"Liu Lang's roommate!"
This title can make the principal pay attention to it. Liu Lang also publicly said that he would let the three of them study abroad, which is even better. Moreover, the results of the three of them are not to mention, they are fully qualified. If this does not follow Liu Lang's
It would be too short-sighted to do things according to "instructions".
Liu Lang and his three roommates have been in contact through letters. Liu Lang will tell them the development trends of foreign mechanical engineering and give them a lot of professional advice.
Jun Jun was sent to Duke University in the United States to study metallurgical materials science, Lin Hai went to the island country's Jingnan University to study control systems, and He Tao went to the University of Hamburg in Germany to study engineering and manufacturing-related knowledge. The content of the three people's studies formed a
Complete industrial chain.
They are Liu Lang's loyal friends, and will be Liu Lang's right-hand men from now on. The three of them are also determined to follow Liu Lang. Who will follow him if they don't follow Liu Lang?
Liu Lang walked around the laboratory. It was still the same as before. Many equipment had been moved away and the place was going to be turned into a warehouse to store some old and useless equipment.
Liu Lang felt quite emotional that this place might become an iconic place for Chinese industry in a few decades, just like the dragon boats in Jiaxing are as important to the country.
"Professor, let's go to Xingzhuang to see our new factory of Huaxia Industry!"
Xingzhuang is a village on the outskirts of the capital. It is more than ten kilometers away from Huaxia University and takes half an hour to get there by bus. After the reform and opening up, many village-run factories have appeared here, producing some production equipment such as iron pipes and chains.
However, the quality is very poor, they are basically handmade workshops, and the users are all nearby farmers.
In the first few years, the business of these small factories was pretty good. At least there was some surplus after excluding materials and labor. But in the past two years, the business has stopped. The main reason is that the country's industrial level has improved rapidly and a large number of foreign machine tools have been introduced.
, One benefit brought about by the increase in productivity is that the price of the product has also become lower. Two years ago, an ordinary iron pipe cost one yuan a pound. Now the steel pipe on the market costs one yuan a pound, which has increased by 20 cents, but the current price is comparable.
It was more than 20% higher than two years ago, so the price of iron pipes has actually dropped.
However, the small workshops in Xingzhuang could not afford equipment. As labor wages continued to rise, the products of these small factories gradually lost market.
