Since the experimental spacecraft and the launched rocket have been transported to the Wenchang Launch Center in Hainan, people in Guangzhou cannot observe these big guys on the spot and can only express condolences to the scientific research team staying in Guangzhou.
In the entire manned space project team, the Future Space Technology Company and the national team each account for about half, and the employees of the Future Space Technology Company were basically from the national team before.
It can be seen from here that although Future Space Technology Company is very impressive, it is actually established on the basis of the development of national space exploration science and technology.
Without the support of talents trained in these countries, even Zhao Yi's monstrous abilities would be of no avail. If he were to train from scratch, it would take at least ten years.
From this perspective, Future Space Technology actually relies heavily on the support of the national team. This is why Future Space Technology basically does not keep its regular space exploration plans secret from the national team.
It also actively invites the national team to participate, which not only solves the problem of lack of talent on its own side, but also expands the scale of talent training and accumulates strength for the subsequent national aerospace development.
Future Space Technology Company has customized a series of space activity plans. Even if some people start out as odd jobs, over time and with more projects, they will slowly grow up and become the main force in scientific research in the future.
In fact, our country does not have abundant talents accumulated in this area. Even the combined number of future space technology companies and the national team is only adequate, and there is no particularly rich talent pool.
Even the research and development of the Liantian Palace Space Station actually has serious overlap with this group of people. Not only do the two have a lot in common, but more importantly, the overall talent is still insufficient.
If we look at the age structure and the situation becomes more severe, the age at which a scientific researcher is most likely to achieve results is generally between 30 and 40 years old, and then begins to decline slowly.
This is why my country's aerospace technology has developed so fast in the past and later periods. In addition to the relatively sufficient funds as the country's economy increases, more importantly, we have a large number of young talents aged around 30 years old.
This age is the most energetic period in a person's life, and it is also the period when it is easiest to accept new things. Learning ability and innovation ability are at their peak, and it is difficult to achieve results without achieving results.
This is also the result of decades of continuous educational development in our country. If we say that the first ten years before the resumption of the college entrance examination was mainly to cultivate administrative talents and economic talents for the country.
Then in the mid-to-late 1990s, my country's scientific research talent training slowly caught up. Especially after 2000, my country's economic development has made great progress, and the scientific research environment has also been greatly improved.
After 2010, these well-educated talents have grown up and can take on the important task of national scientific research development and become the main responsibility of national scientific research development.
In this life, although Zhao Yi has many good technologies, the time is still short, and it is difficult to supply talents in a short time. He can only rely on the current talent team to do some preliminary exploration work.
This means that although Future Space Technology Company has formulated many plans for space exploration, due to the lack of talent, many of the plans are just plans. They can only use the current scale of talent to prioritize development.
Take the current manned spaceflight and space station construction plans. This plan is likely to last about 10 years. After 10 years, the space station will be completed and scientific experiments can be conducted on it.
Like the R&D team in front of us, scientists in their 50s account for nearly half of the people, while those between 30 and 40 years old account for only about 20%, and the remaining talents are all between 40 and 50 years old. between.
The current situation is caused by my country's weak scientific research strength in the aerospace field and inadequate talent training mechanism. Ten years of turmoil are also a hurdle that cannot be erased.
The training of new aerospace talents has only undergone great changes in recent years. Previously, only Tianwen University recruited a large number of students in cosmic physics and Tianwen majors, while other universities still followed the old way.
The turning point was the sudden emergence of Future Space Technology Company, which completely ignited the enthusiasm in the field of aerospace exploration in our country. The Chinese people suddenly discovered that our country's aerospace technology has made such great achievements.
Even the satellite navigation system that has not even been solved by Eagle Sauce has been quietly conquered by our country. And it is not a laboratory result, but has been actually used in military and business.
This has caused various domestic universities to reorganize and examine the majors and disciplines in the field of aerospace exploration. Even the Ministry of Education has paid close attention to these disciplines and provided necessary support.
In the past, the country was poor and its scientific research strength was not strong. It always followed others. Although it was full of confidence in the future, no one was sure when it would become a leader.
As a result, a private company suddenly jumped out and actually surpassed Yingjiang, which had always been the leader, in satellite communication technology, satellite positioning and navigation technology, and rocket launch technology.
Although the author didn't write much about this before, and even chapters were blocked, the impact was far-reaching, far greater than the ripples on the surface.
First of all, the two major international forces have strengthened their investment in the aerospace field. Yingjiang, which had just achieved manned moon landing not long ago, has just slacked off. Faced with the sudden rise of our country, it had to pick up related projects.
The "Star Wars" plan, which had just been finalized not long ago, was affected by the related effects before it had time to perform at its best. Although performance-style publicity was also carried out, the intensity was not as strong as in the previous life.
Because more funds have been invested in the aerospace field, without major changes in the economy, the amount of scientific research funds that can be allocated is actually relatively fixed. If there is more of this part, there will definitely be less of that part.
Another major force is also making great efforts to invest in aerospace. Their aerospace capabilities are relatively strong and they have been being chased. Especially in the manned moon landing project, they were the first to complete it.
Now that they were disrupted like this, they had to continue to increase their efforts in this area, which caused other plans to be greatly affected. These were things that Zhao Yi did not expect at the beginning.
In fact, the aerospace field is very expensive. Even Zhao Yi dare not launch many projects at the same time. The current business of Future Space Technology Company is satellite manufacturing and rocket launch.
And because both of them are in a leading position, they are not as self-conscious as the two major forces. They are very active in business operations and have formed a virtuous cycle.
This is a very different point between Future Space Technology Company and them, because they are all invested by the state, and their purpose is to catch up with everyone, just to prove to the world that they are the strongest.
Future Space Technology Company is relatively pragmatic, targeting the profitable rocket launch and satellite manufacturing fields from the beginning, because these two areas are relatively easy to commercialize in the aerospace field.
Like other space stations, manned moon landings, Mars exploration, etc., it is actually very difficult to commercialize. The most you can do is to put commercial advertisements on the rocket. This amount of money is simply a drop in the bucket compared to the investment.
What's even more ridiculous is that Future Space Company has targeted the construction of satellite navigation systems from the beginning. This project can not only bring very good commercial benefits to the company, but also demonstrate to the outside world its leading edge in satellite technology.
Now the Beidou satellite navigation system can bring more than one billion yuan in revenue to Future Space Technology Company every year, and the military bears more than half of the cost of the entire satellite navigation system.
More importantly, as more and more devices use satellite navigation and positioning technology, the income in this area is showing a rapid increase trend, and it is very possible to achieve an annual income of more than 3 billion yuan in the future.
In other words, the revenue from the Beidou satellite navigation system can basically guarantee the basic operations of future space technology companies. This is already an amazing achievement in the aerospace field.
Their satellite manufacturing business and rocket launch business are now among the top in the world, accounting for about 80% of the global commercial satellite and commercial rocket launch market.
This business alone has brought more than 10 billion yuan in profits to Future Space Technology Company in the past few years. In addition, in order to encourage the development of aerospace, the country has implemented a tax-free policy for this field.
This is why Future Space Technology Company can still launch manned spaceflight and space station projects without Zhao Yi's subsequent investment. Their profitability is enough to support the development of this project.
After the future space station is built, it will also adopt a commercial operation model, allowing various countries and forces to use the space station for a fee to conduct scientific research.
As a private enterprise, there is absolutely nothing wrong with conducting commercial operations, and it can also prevent other countries from building similar space station projects.
However, to achieve this goal, it is necessary to build it before the launch of the International Space Station and put it into commercial use, completely cutting off the International Space Station's escape route, and making various partner countries no longer want to invest funds.
In other words, by 1998 at the latest, Future Space Technology Company will complete the construction tasks of its own space station and conduct commercial cooperation with external parties.
This is why Future Space Technology Company has set its space station construction project within 10 years. First, it can complete the construction before the construction of the International Space Station starts, cutting off their escape route.
Second, during this period, the future space technology company can accumulate enough funds through the existing commercial operation model to maintain the company's financial balance, without Zhao Yizai's additional large investment.
In addition to the huge improvement in national pride in China, there have also been great changes in education and students' psychology.
Not to mention the newly established related professional disciplines in colleges and universities, colleges and universities that already have comparative advantages in this area have strengthened the construction of disciplines in this area and strive to stand out from many colleges and universities.
Coupled with the desire for talents from future space technology companies, talents in these majors will not have to worry about employment issues for quite some time in the future. This also provides a favorable environment for students to apply for these majors.
For students, the first thing to consider is employment, and the second thing to consider is making a contribution to society. With the current popularity of the aerospace field in the country, there is no need to worry about the former.
Then it is a contribution to society. Although the economic benefits directly generated by the aerospace field are very limited, the economic benefits indirectly generated are immeasurable.
Because the technologies applied to the aerospace field are at the top of the technology chain, many achievements can be transformed into the civilian field, providing very beneficial support for the development of civil science and technology in our country.
In fact, the shortage of talents does not only exist in the aerospace field. It is just that compared with the general scientific research field, the aerospace field is more high-end and requires a higher level of talents.
For example, the software industry that is currently developing in full swing in our country has actually been facing a shortage of talents. Even the world's software giant Fanxing Software Company only has a few hundred thousand domestic employees.
Regardless of the number of hundreds of thousands, this data has actually collected all software talents across the country. In addition to employees who have graduated from normal universities, a large proportion of them are actually high school graduates.
If they had not established a relatively effective software talent training plan, it would be basically impossible to reach hundreds of thousands of software talents. It would be quite remarkable to have tens of thousands of talents.
This is still the software industry, and the barriers to entry are not too high. Precision instrument manufacturing, semiconductors, aviation, materials, etc., all require a much higher level of talent than the software industry.
Why Zhao Yi packaged and purchased the domestic semiconductor industry in the first place was because if he hadn't packaged it up and relied on Zhao Yi to cultivate talents on his own, the development speed would have been too slow and the situation today would never have occurred.
After so many years of development, apart from Zhao Yi occasionally providing some technologies, my country's semiconductor industry has formed a very good virtuous cycle and has stood at the top of the world's semiconductor industry.
Moreover, in recent years, my country's higher education industry has gradually adapted to the talent marketization mechanism. For the technical industries in which my country has advantages, these institutions of higher learning are also willing to invest more energy and funds to cultivate talents.
As our country gradually establishes a complete talent training mechanism, the quality of talent has been greatly improved. In particular, the undergraduate tutorials written by Zhao Yi for Tianwen University have been gradually introduced by major institutions of higher learning.
The talents cultivated using this set of teaching materials will have a solid foundation. Although they are not yet able to achieve self-innovation and have access to high-end scientific fields, the threshold for entering various industries has been reached.
Zhao Yi's own high-tech company has gradually established its own talent training system despite the shortage of talents in recent years. If it did not require a minimum undergraduate degree, the shortage of talents would not be so serious.
The reason why they have achieved very dazzling results in the past few years despite the shortage of talents is mainly due to the technical support provided by Zhao Yi. The lingering effects of these technologies are still there, saving a lot of labor costs.
When the technical advantages provided by Zhao Yi gradually disappear, domestic talents will not be as scarce as they are now. Especially after Zhao Yi and the country comprehensively cooperate with the education reform, the problem of talent shortage in the future will be gradually solved. .
At the meeting, the Minister of Science and Development said: “In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, our country faced a very poor domestic environment. In order to complete basic industrialization, the country used a lot of means to achieve this goal.
After 30 years of hard work and the selfless dedication of countless scientific researchers, our country has finally built a relatively comprehensive industrial foundation. Although it is not advanced enough and is still far from the world level, we have this foundation after all.
After the reform and opening up, the country's focus shifted to economic construction as the central goal, and the majority of national resource investment was carried out around economic development.
Due to limited funds, not much has been invested in the aerospace field. You are basically from a national aerospace unit. During this difficult time, your silent efforts have played a very important role in the current development of our country's aerospace industry.
It can now be said that our country's aerospace industry is at a very good stage, in which Future Space Technology Company has played a very huge role, allowing our country to achieve leapfrog development from catching up to partially leading in some areas of aerospace technology.
To be able to achieve leapfrog development, we would like to thank you, the scientific researchers who have been struggling on the front line, for devoting yourself wholeheartedly to our country's aerospace industry regardless of personal gains and losses.
At the same time, I would also like to thank Future Space Technology Company for providing such a very good stage, allowing our country’s aerospace industry practitioners to have a stage to realize their dreams.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Zhao. If Mr. Zhao had not resolutely invested in this unprofitable field, there would be no future space technology company, let alone the leapfrog development of my country's aerospace industry technology.
After several years of economic construction, my country's economic development has achieved great success. The government has not only achieved full coverage of basic welfare, but also enabled economic development to benefit people's livelihood.
At the same time, the government also has more spare money to support the development of domestic science. Last year, the country officially implemented the National Science Development Plan, which injected new impetus into the development of my country's science.
We were poor at the beginning, and struggled to develop in the middle. Now we have finally gained some advantages. In the future, I believe that our country's scientific cause will create more brilliance, and become not only the world's industrialized country, but also a global scientific power.
In this process, most of you have participated in it from beginning to end, silently contributing your youth, middle age and old age. It can be said that you have contributed your whole life to the great journey of the development of national science.
Here we would like to thank you for your great contribution. It is you who have developed the country's scientific foundation from poverty to today. Your contribution will not be forgotten by the country, the people, and history.
What makes us even more gratified is that the proportion of young scientists in the team has greatly increased. You represent the future of our country's scientific development.
I hope that in the future journey, you will not only achieve self-development and improvement, but also provide new impetus for the development of our country's scientific undertakings and lead the development of our country's scientific undertakings into a new stage.
Thank you everyone! ! ! "
After the minister finished speaking, there was a round of applause, especially from the older generation of scientists. They followed the minister's words and looked back on the footsteps they had taken along the way, and the corners of their eyes became moist unconsciously.
They can best understand the meaning of the minister's words. In order to achieve industrialization in our country, it can be said that the whole country is tightening its belts, because everyone knows that if we want the country to be strong and prosperous, we must achieve industrialization. There is no other way.
It is with this belief that many overseas students gave up their favorable conditions abroad and returned to their impoverished motherland with simple luggage to join the great journey of realizing national prosperity and national rejuvenation.
From the rich food before to the radish and pickles after returning to China, even when the conditions were not met, my country's atomic bomb was developed by using abacus and risking one's own body to be radiated.
Zhao Yi felt the same after listening to the minister's words. This spirit of sacrifice is not only reflected in scientific researchers. In fact, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, all walks of life in our country have sacrificed themselves to a certain extent.
Just like the soldiers who participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, they completely laid the foundation of our country, and they are like the most humble farmers, who silently endured the economic scissor gap and handed over more food to the country.
When people generally don't have enough to eat, the purpose of exporting grain is to exchange for some foreign exchange, buy some industrial equipment, and gradually build up an industrialized family. The hardships involved are not understandable to outsiders.
The stories in it draw a series of heroic stories that can be sung and cried. The heroes in them may be individuals or groups. The contributions they have made to this country in their own positions are undeniable and indelible. .
Fortunately, Zhao Yi also inherited these ideas. When he first became rich, he did not immediately think about making a fortune secretly or immigrating directly to a foreign country, but instead invested a large amount of money in the development of domestic economy and technology. Come in.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, he is rich enough, he knows that just being rich himself is nothing special. Only leading the people of the entire country to become rich and achieve a great national rejuvenation is something to be proud of.
Finally, Zhao Yi was also invited to speak, and he simply said a few words.
He said: "Actually, the minister who should talk has already said it, so I won't go into details here. This launch of the experimental spacecraft can be regarded as a new beginning for our country's aerospace industry and the starting point for us to step into the universe.
Previous difficulties have forged our will, current achievements have tempered our self-confidence, and future glory is our never-ending pursuit.
In the days to come, we still need to continue to work hard and keep working hard! ! ! "(End of chapter)
