After the second live broadcast, the reputation of the Beijing-Shijiazhuang high-speed rail project suddenly reversed.
There is no other reason than simply because those machines are so handsome.
In the live broadcast footage, there are super large excavators, small eight-claw excavators, large flatbed trucks, large track-laying locomotives, shield machines, gantry cranes, and four-legged self-stabilizing cranes.
Even at the end of the live broadcast, the picture showed the river in the distance where construction preparations were being made.
And there, a bridge erecting machine that has not yet been assembled is ready to go.
The popularity of the discussion has almost exploded, and after a large number of posts containing exclamations and surprises, more popular science content has been released along with the program.
It is true that there are not many audiences who can be guided from "pan-entertainment" content to popular science content, but with a huge base, even if the conversion rate is less than 1%, the effect of popular science is extremely amazing.
In Chen Nian's opinion, this was a huge surprise.
After the live broadcast, his average number of source points increased soared to 1.2 points in just one day, and it remained at this level for two consecutive days.
And, he knew clearly that this was not the peak yet.
Because the precipitation of technology takes time, and technological enlightenment also takes time. As those "interested people" understand these technologies more and more deeply, the scope of technological fission will become larger and larger.
1.2 points is nothing. Maybe one day, this number will become 10 points or 100 points.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian felt extremely comfortable.
Now, the source points he has on hand have accumulated to 5 points, and he is back above the safety line again.
Moreover, in the near future, he did not have any specific projects that required consuming source points, which gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
——
It's like making money without spending it.
However, as the mountain-moving project comes to an end, these good days are probably coming to an end.
Chen Nian shook his head helplessly, pushed the door open and walked out of the room.
He planned to go to the library first to find some theoretical books on energy materials.
During this period of time, he has completed all courses related to interface materials and passed the exam designed for him by Guo Qi. Next, if he wants to continue to work in the field of materials, he will gradually shift to more applied topics. .
Energy materials are a good direction.
After all, according to his memory, the new energy trend is coming soon. By then, the battery problem will become the biggest development shortcoming, and to quickly solve this problem, you have to rely on yourself.
Accumulating knowledge in this area can, on the one hand, bring source point benefits, and on the other hand, reduce the source point consumption of the analysis itself, which is the most cost-effective option in the near future.
After arriving at the library, Chen Nian quickly found the literature he wanted in the "Advanced Scientific Research Theory" area "set up specifically for him". While looking for books, he also heard from two people who were also reading in this area. Students whispered about the school's generosity.
In their opinion, the school leaders had no idea why they were so crazy that they were willing to spend so much money to introduce so many advanced materials and borrow them for free.
It's as if the leaders all suddenly changed their gender.
Moreover, from their mouths, Chen Nian also learned a piece of information that he had not deliberately paid attention to:
NPU’s leadership team has made significant adjustments, and its school-running strategy has also undergone a major shift.
The bureaucratic and formalistic style of two or three years ago is almost gone. Now the entire school is like a clockwork machine, rushing towards becoming a true "scientific research university".
The two students sounded a little confused when discussing this topic. They didn't know what was going on. They could only guess that a big leader had given an order, or the overall strategy above had changed.
"No matter who it is, this is a great thing for us. Hey, have you heard that the school is asking for a new scholarship?"
"I heard about it, the Flame Award - who came up with this name? It doesn't sound impressive at all."
"Don't worry about whether it's impressive or not, as long as the content is conscientious. It is said that anyone who can make a breakthrough, whether in theoretical technology or practical technology, will win an award."
"I'm going to rush into it. Wasn't there a senior named Wang Jiancheng who did junior artificial intelligence before? I want to have a chat with him to see if it can be applied to other fields."
"Okay, I'll give it a try too. I'd better go in the direction of thermal power."
"It's hard to produce results in the thermal power direction. Even if you do, it won't be easy to review, right?"
"Whatever, this thing is not about quick success. It doesn't matter if it doesn't produce results in a short period of time. I can apply for that foundation building subsidy. It only costs a few hundred yuan a month."
"Foundation building subsidy, sounds like content"
"It is the foundation upon which the foundation is built."
Chen Nian felt a little emotional when he heard this.
Nowadays, schools are investing more and more in “real scientific research”.
Moreover, this kind of investment is no longer biased towards a few key research laboratories and a few key students as it was many years ago, but is now equally distributed, encouraging everyone to participate in scientific research.
Although it is true that some people plan to cheat and get subsidies, but overall, the scientific research atmosphere of the entire school has been qualitatively improved.
Coupled with several key publicity campaigns by the school, the topics discussed among students have gradually changed.
From how to win the favor of leaders, how to use student union work to gain grades, and how to participate in reporting activities organized by the school, it has become what kind of scientific research direction is most likely to produce results and what kind of direction has the greatest results.
I have to say, this is a huge improvement.
Chen Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Looking back at the past, he vaguely remembered that he had set a goal in his heart, which was to use his own resources to change the school's originally too pedantic atmosphere.
Now, I really did it.
The changes in one school are just the beginning. As time goes by, such changes will inevitably be gradually transmitted to other schools and other departments.
It will gradually break down those old orders and establish a truly beneficial system.
Within this system, talents will be respected and rewarded.
——
Although, perhaps in the short term, such returns will not be too high.
But at least it really gives people hope.
In the last life, we have fallen far behind and lost too much in the field of top talent.
We cannot blame those who made the choice, but we should reflect on whether we did not do enough.
Now, such reflection comes at least 10 years ahead of schedule.
Under such reflection, maybe we can recover some of the talents we have lost, right?
Chen Nian took one last look at the two people who were rummaging through information, and then left the library.
In his heart, he secretly blessed the two of them and hoped that they would get the rewards they wanted.
After leaving the library, Chen Nian went to the cafeteria for dinner as usual, where he met Qiu Mai, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Qiu Mai excitedly waved him to sit at the same table, and then said eagerly:
"Hey, Chen Nian, why didn't you go to physical education class recently? I was still thinking of talking to you during physical education class!"
"Ah? Well... I'm asking for leave."
Chen Nian slightly said awkwardly.
In fact, he did ask for leave during this period, but it was not with the teacher, but with Chen Guo.
He originally wanted to be lazy on the grounds that "the project is too tight and I don't have time". When Chen Guo agreed, he was very happy. Unexpectedly, they arranged a treadmill for him and asked him to complete at least three kilometers every day. index.
Even more tiring than gym class.
However, it was difficult to take back what he said, so he had no choice but to exercise obediently.
Not to mention, after persisting for more than a month, he felt that his physical condition had become much stronger.
"So what do you want me to do?"
Chen Nian asked curiously.
"I'm telling you about the mountain-moving project!"
"Didn't we make an all-terrain excavator before? I recently compiled all the information and prepared to publish a paper. I wanted to take a look at it again with you."
"I'll let you go, is that okay?"
One work?
Chen Nian frowned and did not answer immediately.
In fact, in the past few years, he has exported a lot of technology, but when it comes to papers, he really has no papers.
Wang Jiancheng had published a paper related to Yujing 01 before, and he also said that he would give it a try. However, due to Cheng Fei's intervention, the paper was not published in the end, so Chen Nian did not need to worry about it.
Now, Qiu Mai actually has the same idea.
In fact, to be honest, for such a non-core project, it doesn’t matter if you publish a paper occasionally. It is not a disruptive achievement and basically does not attract much attention.
However, for some things, it is better to do less than to do more.
After thinking for a moment, he answered:
"Forget it, you did all the specific research work, there's no need to put me on it."
"Moreover, I am currently involved in some projects of the 601 Institute, so it is not convenient for me to publish papers."
"Just let yourself go and don't worry about me."
Hearing Chen Nian's words, Qiu Mai couldn't help but scratch his head.
In fact, of course she knew that what Chen Nian said about "the main work is done by myself" was purely polite.
Without Chen Nian, he would never have been able to come up with the design plan for the all-terrain excavator in such a short period of time.
Not to mention, some of the technical difficulties behind, including the hydraulic and transmission systems, were directly provided by Chen Nian.
In her mind, if she wanted to publish a paper, Chen Nian would be the one who deserved it.
——
However, she could also hear the obvious rejection in Chen Nian's words.
Wang Jiancheng wanted to publish a paper before, but it seems that Chen Nian's name was not added in the end.
Are the confidentiality measures of Institute 601 that strict?
She looked at Chen Nian's face seriously, trying to find a trace of "regret" or "hesitation" on his face, but obviously, she failed to find it.
So, she had no choice but to say:
"Well, if there are regulations, then let's not let it go."
"I won't send the paper for now. I'll wait until it's more convenient for you."
"No, just follow your plan."
Chen Nian said quickly.
But Qiu Mai was equally determined. She shook her head and replied:
"No, I can't take credit for your work for no reason."
"Besides, I don't really need this paper."
"The matter of postgraduate study has basically been decided, and this project also gave me a bonus, which is a big reward."
Speaking of this, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"By the way, this is the second thing, split the money!"
"The Yishan Project gave us a bonus of 50,000 yuan. In addition to this, the hydraulic seal design I designed before was awarded a practical invention patent. I will put your name on the owner. There will be patent fees in the future. There may be good news. Hundreds of thousands.”
“And the more you produce, the more money you make!”
"We really made a profit this time. I never thought we could make so much money doing scientific research."
Hearing her words, Chen Nian felt a little funny in his heart.
Where did this go!
For this all-terrain excavator design, in fact, most of the designs proposed by Qiaomai are "directional designs" and do not include detailed structures, processes and technologies.
So overall, a piece of equipment generates relatively few patents.
If you were like me, always giving out the precise numerical values of aircraft engines, that would be really explosive.
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, it would be impossible to win even billions.
Thinking of this, Chen Nian said:
"Very good!"
"Keep working hard, there will be more opportunities like this in the future."
"It's all up to the boss to guide me."
Qiu Mai said with a smile.
But to Chen Nian's ears, this sentence was purely polite.
She did give her some inspiration, but she mainly relied on herself.
The two chatted for a while, and Chen Nian asked Qiu Mai about his future plans. Qiu Mai put down his bowls and chopsticks and said seriously:
"Didn't you tell me about the aircraft carrier's arresting cable hydraulic system before?"
"I went to see it later. After researching it, I felt that this thing was not very promising."
"The hydraulic blocking system will eventually be replaced by electromagnetic blocking. Specializing in this direction is not worth the gain."
"So, I thought about it and decided to change the direction in the future, towards high mechanical, electrical and hydraulic integration."
"This direction is very new, and it is generally not favored now, but I think its application fields are still very wide."
"In the future, maybe we can open up a vast market."
Hearing Qiu Mai's words, Chen Nian's eyes widened in surprise.
In 2006, mechanical, electrical and hydraulic integration?
The last time I heard this kind of forward-looking thinking was when Wang Jiancheng proposed the "Loyal Wingman" plan.
The importance of this technology is hard to describe in detail, but one example makes it clear:
If electromechanical and hydraulic integration is immature, it will be impossible to realize miniaturized individual power armor.
Of course, its applications extend beyond power armor.
In the future, the more complex the equipment, the higher the requirements for electromechanical and hydraulic integration technology.
It can be said that it is the next key milestone in the development of mechanical technology.
Currently, there are few mentions of this technology worldwide, and prospective studies are limited.
Qiu Mai actually noticed this and keenly judged its potential.
I have to say, she really has a few brushes.
If I can help her deepen this project, then I will really make a big mistake!
You know, in the previous life, until after 2022, the development of this technology can be said to have just started.
Chen Nian quickly said:
“This direction is great!”
"If you need help, you can come to me."
"Although I don't know much, I can still contact you with resources."
"OK! No problem!"
Qiu Mai smiled brightly, while Chen Nian secretly thought:
Although the direction is very important, whether you can continue to do it depends on your ability.
I hope you can really give me a surprise and let me make a big mistake.
