The technological flood of rebirth

Chapter 506: The road is getting farther and farther

In fact, there is not much information about him on the Internet, just an ordinary ID photo, not even daily photos, and the introduction is quite short. It is about him winning the Fields Medal, and there is no other information.

At present, the online encyclopedia of Qianxun Technology Company is already the Internet tool with the largest number of entries, the most comprehensive encyclopedia introduction, the greatest influence, and the most user visits in the world.

If you search for other people on the Internet encyclopedia, it will be eloquent, detailed, and the length used will be very long. Basically, it will be recorded more clearly than the person involved.

Even the online encyclopedia with such huge power has only a few lines of text to introduce Zhao Yi. Regarding the mathematical problems he solved, you need to click to jump to the page.

This kind of introduction is too simple. If it were not for the serious introduction on the Internet Encyclopedia, it would be completely impossible to connect with the Fields Medal winner, who is known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics.

Zhao Yi looked at the busy reporters at the scene and did not give them much time to recall or check the information. He was not really here to show off, he was just making a joke.

He continued: "As for the issue of high-speed rail technology research and development, our country needs ultra-high-speed rail technology to speed up the communication needs of personnel and logistics across the country, so the ultra-high-speed rail project team was established.

This is the motivation for my country's research and development of ultra-high-speed railways. As for the research and development process, there is not much that needs to be said. This is the result of collective research and development. As the chief engineer, I only contributed a little bit.

As for technical skills, although we did not have much expertise in this area before, we are not unprepared. We only need to integrate relevant scientific research forces across the country and add a few ideas, and it is not too difficult.

Of course, although it is an understatement to say it, during the research and development process, all colleagues in the project team still made great efforts and worked tirelessly on research and development to be able to come up with a complete and mature technology in such a short period of time. "

To be honest, although he is in this project team, the specific management of the project team has nothing to do with him. He doesn't even know who the members are. Even if he is asked to say it, he can't tell.

So let’s just leave it at that. If the people are really willing to know the “emotional” story behind this, then let the relevant departments and CCTV launch relevant documentaries.

In fact, as long as you have an overall technical plan and key technical information, and follow the diagram, it is not difficult to form a technical team that works down-to-earth.

Zhao Yi's understatement did not resonate with the majority of reporters. It was just that the current situation was not suitable to get to the bottom of the matter, so reporters recorded whatever he said.

After this topic, the next question was from a German reporter. When Zhao Yi received the award in Germany, it caused a sensation in Germany, and it became the place where Zhao Yi made his fortune.

But after that, Zhao Yi seemed to have gone into seclusion, and no news about him came out. At first, there were reporters who wanted to interview him face to face, but the results were in vain, and they couldn't contact him even if they tried to contact him.

In addition, he is not an entertainment star himself. After the limelight passed, not many people could remember him, and he gradually faded into people's minds and became a passerby who had nothing to do with him.

So the German reporter was very interested in his disappearance and asked: "Zhao, since you won the Fields Medal, there has been very little news about you. Can you tell us about this period of your disappearance?" The experience of time?”

This is one of the reasons why Zhao Yi doesn't like to be exposed to the public. Reporters like to get to the bottom of things, and he doesn't like this very much. Whoever lives his life records what he has done in his mind every day. Isn't this nonsense

"Actually, there isn't much to talk about. I have a wide range of interests and hobbies, which are not limited to the field of mathematics. So during this time, my interests and hobbies have shifted to other areas, such as biology. " Zhao Yi replied.

After hearing what Zhao Yi said, the German reporter then asked: "Then why don't you continue to work in the field of mathematics? With your talent, you should be able to do more."

Although the reporter asked two questions in a row, which was against the rules, Zhao Yi still planned to answer him, saying: "I don't want my life to be only linked to mathematics, which seems very monotonous. I want my life to be full of more colors." pursuit.

For example, this time's ultra-high-speed railway technology is one of my many hobbies. Although it is not as advanced as science, technology can bring a better material foundation to the people, which is also of considerable significance.

Moreover, winning a crown in the field of mathematics is a great blessing in life. There is no need to stay in it anymore. It will be more meaningful to give more opportunities to those who come after studying mathematics to achieve their lives. "

What I said before is not a big problem. As a young person, your interests may change at any time and have not yet been finalized. Everyone can understand the wide range of hobbies he said.

But the latter sentence is not polite, although it does not explicitly say that if I continue to study mathematics, other people who study mathematics will have no problems to study.

But his arrogant tone did not hide it at all. If he continued to study mathematics, there would be nothing to do with other mathematics experts, which was quite rude.

But we cannot blame him too much, because he can also say that he does not mean that, and as a recipient of the highest honor in mathematics, he does have certain qualifications to say this.

After this question, the next person who asked the question was a reporter from Yingjiang. He asked: "I noticed that you just mentioned that you are interested in biology. Can you briefly introduce to us your results or projects in studying biology?" ?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yi felt that this reporter was here to inquire about the news. He was just giving a random example. He took it seriously. Besides, he would not tell him the biological results of his research.

However, he still answered with a smile on his face: "You may not know it well, but I am still an 'ordinary' researcher in the Qingnong Biological Laboratory, and my graduate degree is also in biology.

As for the biological content of my research, it is not convenient to go into too much detail here. If you have been in China for a long time, you should know that many new varieties of fruit products have been launched in China. Do they taste great

These are the research results of Qingnong Biological Laboratory. Qingnong Biological Laboratory focuses on the research of plant biology, and plant variety cultivation is one of their businesses. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound on the scene, because since this year, a large number of new varieties of seasonal fruits have been launched in China, and they are among the best in terms of taste, appearance and color.

As reporters who have been in my country for a long time, they are of course fortunate to taste these fruits with excellent quality and relatively affordable prices. As a result, they still have fresh memories, and they have a strong resonance when Zhao Yi mentions them.

In addition to using part of the fruit to make Baiwei fruit wine, Baiwei Food Company also sells most of its fruits to all parts of the country through sales channels. This year, due to relatively small production, it is only available in the domestic market.

After one or two years, when all the production that cannot be digested by the country is completed, the fruit export trade will be launched. These are all things for later. However, if it is exported, the price will not be comparable to the domestic price, and it will definitely be ridiculously high.

In fact, a large number of high-quality fruits have been launched in China this year, which has attracted widespread attention from people across the country. Naturally, these reporters have long noticed this abnormal situation.

Generally speaking, the improvement and cultivation of new varieties requires a long process, which means that it is impossible to have a large number of new varieties on the market at the same time, which is not in line with the law of development.

But this year's situation is very special, and it naturally attracts a lot of attention. When ordinary people enter the fruit store, they see all new varieties of fruits, and the varieties they have eaten before seem to have withdrawn from the stage of history in an instant.

Fortunately, these new varieties of fruits are excellent in both taste and appearance. More importantly, each fruit has different sub-varieties, which can provide consumers with more taste choices.

In addition, people's incomes are increasing day by day, and they are naturally willing to bear slightly higher prices when the quality is improved. Therefore, there are no big complaints, but the national fruit sales have increased a lot.

High-quality fruits are naturally accompanied by higher prices. This is an inevitable result. Otherwise, at the same price, why would those growers change their planting varieties? Isn't this unnecessary

In fact, the so-called economic development does not mean blindly increasing the supply of new goods, but constantly upgrading old products and improving the quality of old goods to meet the development needs of the new era.

As these high-quality fruit varieties improve their quality, their prices will also increase accordingly. In this way, not only the sales volume of the products will increase, but the scale of sales revenue will also increase, and the economic scale will naturally increase.

Because the types of goods do not increase infinitely, and the types of goods necessary for human beings are actually relatively fixed, economic development by increasing the types of goods will sooner or later come to an end, and the follow-up will be very weak.

However, the money supply of the entire social economy is showing an increasing trend. How can consumers be willing to accept price increases without thinking that it is the cause of inflation? The only way is to continuously improve the quality of goods.

This operating model is not only applicable to the industrial field, but also to the agricultural field and the service industry. This is the essence of economic development, rather than a simple price increase for the same goods.

Although changes in the domestic fruit market have aroused widespread discussion, especially in the Internet age, it is too easy to gather a group of people to discuss related topics.

But no one can tell me one, two, three or four. Apart from all kinds of wild guesses, everyone is just talking about their own feelings, which is not of much value.

Although the Qingnong Biological Laboratory is very important in the domestic agricultural field, ordinary people are very unfamiliar with it, and most people have never even heard of this laboratory.

If you still have some impression of Qingnong Biological Laboratory, it may be because of the Human Genome Project initiated by Qingnong Biological Laboratory. At that time, there were relatively many reports about it.

It's just that the Human Genome Project and this large-scale launch of high-quality new varieties of fruits seem to be out of reach, so naturally no one will think about it.

Therefore, his answer made the reporters on the scene more interested in Qingnong Biological Laboratory. However, it did not help that they were interested. It was unlikely that Qingnong Biological Laboratory would accept their interview.

Although his answer didn't seem to answer anything, it seemed to be very clear. Since he has outstanding achievements in mathematics and serves as the chief engineer of the ultra-high-speed railway project, there is absolutely no problem with his research and development capabilities.

In addition, the previous biotechnology in China was actually not very good, and in recent years it has been like cheating. Naturally, it is inevitable for people to blame these abnormalities on the god sitting in front of them.

Just like this time's ultra-high-speed railway technology, our country had a weak foundation before, but suddenly a world-leading technology appeared. It felt very abrupt. The feeling between the two is exactly the same.

Seeing that there were still reporters who wanted to ask him questions, Zhao Yi quickly said: "Don't ask me any more questions. This press conference is about the opening of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway. I have the right to refuse to answer questions that have nothing to do with this."

Fortunately, he has not forgotten the theme of this press conference. If this situation is allowed to continue, it will really become his personal show. Although the leaders doing it are unlikely to be angry, the impact will not be good after all. It’s better to do less.

After satisfying the curiosity of the reporters at the scene, the following press conference became relatively normal. They were all about the opening of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway, so there was nothing wrong with him, and everything was clear at last.

After the question-and-answer session at the press conference, the leaders held an opening ceremony. I won’t elaborate too much here, and then went directly to the experience session.

This high-speed train from Kyoto to Tianjin is a normal train. Since the power system provided by Star Power Company is excellent enough, the number of carriages on the high-speed train can be increased as needed.

However, in normal shifts, each high-speed train has 12 carriages. Only when transportation is busy, the number of carriages will be appropriately increased, so that the train's capacity can be increased.

Ultra-high-speed trains use a distributed power system. Each carriage has its own independent power source. After passing through the central coordination system, each carriage can move in a coordinated manner.

By the time all the leaders and reporters arrived at the platform, all the ordinary passengers had already boarded the train and took their seats. One of the remaining two empty carriages was for the leaders, and the other was for the reporters to experience.

When the reporters were about to get on the bus, the chief assistant asked the staff to stop the ATV reporters so that they did not need to go to the reporter's experience car, but followed them to the leader's car.

This behavior made ATV reporters very excited. You must know that only CCTV and Xinhua News Agency can get this treatment, but other media do not have this opportunity.

Zhao Yi also smiled knowingly after seeing the first assistant's action. This was to give himself face. Although the ATV reporter didn't know yet, their big boss was right in front of him.

Not to mention the situation inside the leadership compartment, when reporters from all walks of life entered the compartment, they felt that the situation inside the train was obviously different from the ordinary trains they often ride.

In fact, the various facilities and details inside the carriage are not much different from the high-speed rail carriages in my country in the previous life. The first impression after entering is that it is clean and tidy, the lights are bright and not dazzling, and the seats on both sides are arranged neatly and not crowded.

Various seats can also be adjusted manually, and are ergonomically designed to make passengers feel very comfortable. In addition, the speed is very fast, and the time will not be too long, so that passengers will not sit for a long time. It feels like my body can't handle it.

After the reporters came up, they started various studies, some were studying seats, some were studying window safety measures, and some even went into the bathroom specifically to see what was going on inside.

After some research, reporters on site were shocked by the electrification level of this high-speed train. Even the toilets in the toilets are automatic and have anti-bacterial functions, and the faucets are also sensor-type.

These things may not be uncommon in our era, but in this era, they are very new, and each one is worthy of a reporter writing a large article.

Most of these seemingly high-end equipment are specially developed by Polaris Company. Some of them are existing businesses, and some are research projects launched specifically for high-speed rail projects.

For example, Polaris did not have an automatic toilet business before, but in order to meet the needs of high-speed rail, a special research project team was established to study the related technologies of fully automatic toilets.

Distributed hot and cold air supply systems are Polaris' strengths. Not to mention high-speed rails, even the internal air management systems on Star Express aircraft are all products provided by Polaris.

The existing business is not difficult for Polaris Company, but for new business, Polaris Company still spends a certain amount of energy on research and development.

According to Polaris's corporate creed, either we don't do something, or we have to be number one in the world. This number one is not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of market.

For example, the fully automatic toilets they developed will not only be supplied to high-speed rail needs, but will also be supplied to the general consumer market in large quantities. In order to match their smart home plans, they have also added relevant smart modules, which are quite advanced.

It's just that the current production capacity of Polaris Company cannot be arranged, and it has not yet been launched on a large scale. After a period of time, it is estimated that fully automatic smart toilets on the market will no longer be so rare.

Perhaps in order to better promote my country's ultra-high railway technology, the railway department also specially arranged a commentator in the reporter's experience car.

After the commentator introduced it, most of the electrical equipment in the car was provided by Polaris. Not only would it not be embarrassing, but it would also gain the trust of all reporters present.

These reporters know very well what kind of company Polaris is. It has titles such as a global giant in the home appliance industry, a global giant in the consumer electronics field, a global giant in the audio-visual equipment field, and so on.

Among these titles, many are not one of them. It is a veritable giant company in the world. No other peer company can compare with it in terms of technology and size.

The electrical equipment provided by this company can naturally gain the trust of consumers. After so many years of operation, their brand trust is definitely the first among their peers. This is undisputed.

The reason why I say most of the electrical equipment, not all, is because there are still many electrical equipment provided by Xinhui Energy Company, but the reputation of Xinhui Energy Company is much weaker than that of Polaris Company.

Not to mention Tiangong Precision Instrument Company. This company is not as famous as Xinhui Energy Company. Their name is only spread in the industrial field. It is difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with the name Tiangong Precision Instrument.

After the commentator said this, the reporters on the scene immediately felt that this car was a combination of high technology. Almost all links seemed so high-end and classy, and even the charging connector had a sense of design.

When the train started moving slowly, the inside of the carriage finally became quiet. The reporters were not speechless for a moment, but wanted to carefully feel the driving experience of the train.

When everyone hears the speed of 500 kilometers per hour, the first thought is that it will be very bumpy. After all, it is running on the ground at a very high speed. No matter how smooth the rails are, there is still the possibility of bumps.

This kind of result will naturally not happen. When the train accelerates, there is a slight pushing feeling on the back, but it is not strong. If you don't feel it carefully, you won't feel it.

Looking at the falling buildings and trees outside the window, the train is getting faster and faster. This feeling can be seen through the numbers on the LED screen in front of the carriage.

When the above number reached 500KM/H, the scene suddenly burst into warm applause. There were even reporters standing on the sidewalk, wanting to see what it felt like to stand at this speed.

When the train reached its maximum stable operating speed, the reporters felt no discomfort at all. The train ran very smoothly, and even the water placed on the table did not sway significantly.

Some reporters even placed one-yuan coins vertically on the window sill, and they did not fall down for a long time. This fully reflects how powerful our country's ultra-high-speed railway technology is.

Different from the reporters' various experiments in the car, the topics in the leader's car were more pragmatic. Regarding the operation of the train, they all obtained relevant information and data, and they were not too surprised.

Even the leader of the Ministry of Railways had personally experienced it during the experiment before. Only after he personally experienced it could it bring him great confidence and self-confidence.

Compared with these, the leaders are more concerned about operating costs and fares. After inquiries, the fare from Kyoto to Tianjin is currently 10 yuan. Although this price is higher than that of ordinary trains, it is still acceptable. .

The total length of the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway is about 110 kilometers. Based on a cost of 30 million yuan per kilometer, the total project cost is about 3.3 billion yuan. The number of passengers transported between the two places is about 10 million every year.

In other words, if calculated based on the current number of passengers, it will take about 33 years to make back the cost through personnel transportation. Even if the number of passengers increases in the future, it will still take more than 20 years to make back the cost.

So despite the fact that a ticket price of 10 yuan is almost half a day's income of ordinary people, when calculated based on the construction cost, it is actually not expensive at all.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yicai suggested that Shangtong Trading Company be contracted for domestic railway cargo transportation business. Only by increasing the development of cargo transportation business can my country's high-speed rail return its investment as soon as possible.

You must know that the development of high-speed rail requires a large amount of borrowing, which requires interest. The actual return period is much longer than the above calculation. If you do not actively develop other businesses, it is estimated that the profit will only be enough to pay interest.

In the lounge before, the leaders had not yet felt the expensive expenditure of high-speed rail construction. During this experience, everyone found that the problems were very big and that more extensive open source must be carried out.

So some people began to reiterate the topic mentioned by Zhao Yi just now, which is to let Shangtong Trading Company contract the domestic railway freight business. This can not only reduce the number of employees in the railway department, reduce the establishment, but also reduce operating costs.

Shangtong Trading Company itself has a large amount of transportation business. Even if it adds railway freight business, the overall number of employees will not increase too much. This is the most cost-effective way.

Some leaders even want to hand over the operation of railway stations across the country to Shangtong Trading Company, because Shangtong Trading Company itself is a leader in this industry, and it is perfect for them to operate it.

In this case, the Ministry of Railways only needs to collect rent every year. They only need to focus on the dispatching and operation of trains and ensure the safety of train operations across the country.

In this way, their staffing will not expand infinitely, and they will have a lot less things to worry about. Not to mention, this proposal really makes many people very excited.

There are a huge number of railway stations across the country, and it is actually very troublesome to operate them. Moreover, running them well requires a lot of hard work.

Such behavior is not without precedent. The commercial operations of the airports built by Qingyang Airport Group across the country are handed over to Shangtong Trading Company.

Although Qingyang Airport Group and Shangtong Trading Company are brother companies, judging from their commercial operations over the years, the return rate is much higher than that of the previous airport's own operations, and they have also won unanimous praise from consumers.

With this lesson learned, the future matters will be much easier to discuss. Most of the leaders on site support this idea. This kind of plan has the highest comprehensive benefits. It only needs to strengthen the supervision of commercial activities in these places.

After hearing the leaders' conversation, Zhao Yi felt that the road seemed to be getting farther and farther. He had never considered letting Shangtong Trading Company participate in the commercial operations of railway stations across the country before.

Because in his common sense, this kind of business would definitely be caught by the Ministry of Railways itself. What he didn't expect was that the leaders actually thought of this on their own, which was beyond his expectation.

However, he has no objection to this. Shangtong Trading Company does have the strength to operate these businesses. Judging from their airport commercial operations, their business is quite proficient, and it is easy to handle it if handed over to them.

The Ministry of Railways can use the huge commercial resources of Shangtong Trading Company to quickly open up opportunities for the operation of major railway stations, while Shangtong Trading Company can further expand its influence by obtaining the commercial operation rights of these special sites.

It's a win-win situation. (End of chapter)
