Spark

After the second live broadcast, the reputation of the Beijing-Shijiazhuang high-speed rail project immediately reversed.

For no other reason than simply because those machines are so cool.

In the live footage, there are super-large excavators, small octopus excavators, large flatbed vehicles, large track-laying locomotives, shield machines, gantry cranes, and quadruped self-stabilizing cranes.

Even, at the end of the live broadcast, the screen showed the river channel that was being prepared for construction in the distance.

And there, a bridge erecting machine that has not yet been assembled is ready to go.

The heat of the discussion can almost be said to have exploded, and after a large number of posts containing exclamations and surprises, more popular science content was also released along with the program.

It is true that there are not many audiences who can switch from "pan-entertainment" content to popular science content after being guided, but under a huge base, even if the conversion rate is less than 1%, the popular science effect produced is extremely amazing.

In Chen Nian's view, this was simply a big surprise.

After the live broadcast, in just one day, his average source point increase soared to 1.2 points, and it remained at this level for two consecutive days after that.

Moreover, he clearly knew that this was not the peak yet.

Because technology precipitation takes time, and technology inspiration also takes time. As those "interested people" understand these technologies more and more deeply, the scope of technological fission will also increase.

What is 1.2 points. Maybe one day, this number will become 10 points, 100 points.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian felt extremely comfortable.

Now, the source points in his hand have accumulated to 5 points, and he is back above the safety line again.

Moreover, in the near future, he does not have any specific projects that need to consume source points, which gives him an inexplicable sense of security.

——

It's like earning money without spending it.

However, as the Yishan project is coming to an end, this kind of good life is probably coming to an end soon

Chen Nian shook his head helplessly, opened the door 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 by Guo Qi for him. Next, if he wants to continue to cultivate in the field of materials, he must gradually turn to more application-oriented topics up.

Energy materials are a good direction.

After all, according to his memory, the wind of new energy is coming soon. At that time, the battery problem will become the biggest shortcoming of development. To solve this problem quickly, he has to rely on himself.

Accumulating knowledge in this area, on the one hand, can bring source benefits, and on the other hand, can reduce the source consumption of analysis itself, which is the most cost-effective choice in the near future.

After arriving at the library, Chen Nian quickly found the literature he wanted in the "Advanced Scientific Research Theory" area "specially set up for him". Students whispered about the school's generosity.

From their point of view, the school leaders don't know why they are out of their minds, but they are willing to spend so much money to import so many advanced materials, and they still borrow them for free.

It's as if all the leaders have suddenly changed their gender.

Moreover, from them, Chen Nian also learned a piece of information that he hadn't deliberately paid attention to:

The leadership team of NPU has made major adjustments, and its school-running strategy has also undergone a major shift.

The bureaucratic and formalistic style of work two or three years ago is almost gone. Now the whole school is like a fully wound machine, rushing towards a real "scientific research university".

When the two students were discussing this topic, they were a little puzzled. They didn't know what was going on. They could only guess that a certain big leader had issued an order, or that the overall strategy above had changed.

"...No matter who it is, it's a great thing for us anyway. Hey, have you heard that the school wants a new scholarship again."

"I heard about it, the Huo Miao Award—by the way, who came up with the name, it doesn't sound like it has any momentum."

"Don't care about your momentum, just be content with a conscience. It is said that no matter whether it is in theoretical technology or practical technology, as long as there is a breakthrough, you can win the prize."

"I'm going to give it a shot. Didn't a senior named Wang Jiancheng do elementary artificial intelligence before? I want to talk to him and see if it can be applied to other fields."

"It's ok, I'll try it too, I'd better do the thermal power direction."

"It's hard to produce results in the direction of thermal power, and even if it does, it's not easy to judge, right?"

"Whatever, this thing is not a direction for quick success. It doesn't matter if there is no result in a short time. I can apply for that foundation building subsidy, and there are hundreds of dollars a month."

"The foundation building subsidy sounds like the content of a novel"

"It is the foundation upon which the foundation is built."

Chen Nian was a little emotional.

Now, schools are investing more and more in "real scientific research".

Moreover, this kind of investment is no longer only biased towards a few key research laboratories and a few key students as it was many years ago, but it is evenly shared, and everyone is encouraged to participate in scientific research.

Although it is true that some people intend to cheat the subsidy to lie flat, overall, the scientific research atmosphere of the whole school has been qualitatively improved.

Coupled with the school's several key publicity campaigns, the topics discussed among the students have gradually changed.

From how to win the favor of the leaders, how to use the work of the student union to earn grade points, and how to participate in the reporting activities organized by the school, it has become what kind of scientific research direction is the easiest to produce results, and which direction has the greatest results.

Needless to say, this is a huge improvement.

Chen Nian secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Looking back on the past, he vaguely remembered that he once set a goal in his heart, which was to use his own resources to change the school's original too pedantic atmosphere.

Now, I really did it.

The change in one school is just the beginning. As time goes by, such changes are bound to gradually spread to other schools and departments.

It will gradually break down those old orders and establish a system that is really beneficial.

In 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 can really make people see hope.

In the last life, we have fallen behind and lost too much in the field of top talents.

We have no way to blame those who have made choices, but we should reflect on whether we have not done enough.

Now, such reflections are coming at least 10 years earlier.

Under such reflection, maybe we can recover some of the talents we lost, right?

Chen Nian took one last look at the two people who were rummaging through the materials, and then left the library.

In his heart, he secretly blessed the two of them, hoping that they could get the rewards they wanted.

After leaving the library, Chen Nian went to the cafeteria to have dinner as usual, where he met Qiao Mai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Qiao Mai excitedly beckoned him to sit on the same table, and then said impatiently:

"Hey, Chen Nian, why didn't you go to physical education class recently? I was thinking of talking to you during physical education class!"

"Ah? This... I'm on leave."

Chen Nian said with a little embarrassment.

In fact, he did ask for leave during this period, but it was not from the teacher, but from Chen Guo.

He originally wanted to be lazy on the grounds that "the project is too tight and there is no 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 not easy to take back what was said, so he had to exercise obediently.

Not to mention, after persisting for more than a month, he felt that his physical condition was much stronger.

"So what are you looking for me for?"

Chen Nian asked curiously.

"Let me tell you about the Yishan Project!"

"Didn't we make an all-terrain excavator before? Recently, I have sorted out all the information, and I am going to publish a paper. I want to take another look with you."

"I put you in one, is it okay?"

a work?

Chen Nian frowned, but didn't answer right away.

In fact, in the past few years, he has exported a lot of technologies, but in terms of papers, he really didn't have a single one.

Wang Jiancheng also published a paper related to Yujing 01 before, and he also said that he would put himself in the paper, but because of Cheng Fei's intervention, this paper was not published in the end, so Chen Nian didn't have to worry about it.

Now, Qiao Mai has the same idea here.

In fact, to be honest, this is not a core project, and it doesn’t matter if you publish a paper occasionally. It is not a subversive achievement, and it basically doesn’t attract much attention.

However, for some things, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and replied:

"Forget it, the specific research work is done by you, there is no need to put me on it."

"Besides, I'm currently participating in some projects in the 601 Institute, so it's not convenient to publish papers."

"Just let yourself go, don't worry about me."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Qiao Mai couldn't help scratching his head.

In fact, of course she knew that Chen Nian's so-called "main work is done by herself" was purely polite.

If it weren't for Chen Nian, it would be impossible for him to come up with the design of the all-terrain excavator in such a short period of time anyway.

Not to mention, some of the technical difficulties behind, including the hydraulic and transmission systems, were directly provided by Chen Nian.

In her heart, if she wants to publish a paper, Chen Nian is a well-deserved one.

——

However, she could also hear the obvious rejection in Chen Nian's words.

Wang Jiancheng wanted to publish a paper before, but he didn't seem to add Chen Nian's name in the end

Are the 601 institute's secrecy measures so strict?

She looked at Chen Nian's face seriously, trying to find a trace of "regret" or "hesitation" on his face, but obviously, she couldn't find it.

So she had no choice but to say:

"Well, if there are rules, then let's not let go."

"I won't publish the thesis for now. I will post it when it is convenient for you."

"No, just follow your plan."

Chen Nian said quickly.

But Qiao Mai was equally determined. She shook her head and replied:

"No, I can't take your credit for nothing."

"Besides, I don't really need this paper."

"The matter of the insurance research has basically been settled, and this project even gave me a bonus. The harvest is big enough."

Having said that, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"By the way, this is the second thing, divide 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 evaluated for a practical invention patent. I will put your name on everyone. There will be patent fees in the future. It may be good. Hundreds of thousands."

"And, the more produced, the more money!"

"We really made money this time. I never thought that doing scientific research can make so much money."

Hearing her words, Chen Nian was secretly amused.

Where is this!

The design of the all-terrain excavator this time, in fact, most of the designs proposed by Qiao Mai are "directional designs", without detailed structures, processes and technologies.

Therefore, on the whole, a piece of equipment generates relatively few patents.

If you are like yourself, if you give out the exact value of the flight engine at every turn, then it will really explode

Not to mention hundreds of thousands, even billions can't be beat.

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 take me."

Qiao Mai said with a smile.

But to Chen Nian's ears, this sentence was pure politeness.

I did give her some inspiration, but she mainly relied on herself.

The two chatted for a while, and Chen Nian asked about Qiao Mai's future plans. Qiao Mai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said seriously:

"Didn't you tell me about the hydraulic system of the aircraft carrier's arresting cable?"

"I went to see it later, and after researching it, I felt that this thing is not very promising."

"The hydraulic blocking system will eventually be replaced by electromagnetic blocking. Specializing in this direction is not worth the candle."

"So, I thought about it, and I will change the direction in the future, and integrate electromechanical 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 Qiao Mai's words, Chen Nian's eyes widened in surprise.

In 2006, the integration of mechanical, electrical and hydraulic?

This kind of forward-looking thinking. The last time I heard it was when Wang Jiancheng proposed the "loyal wingman" plan.

The importance of this technique is difficult to describe in detail, but one example can explain it clearly:

If the integration of electromechanical and hydraulic integration is immature, then miniaturized individual power armor cannot be realized.

Of course, its application is not limited to power armor.

In the future, the more complex the equipment, the higher the requirements for the electromechanical-hydraulic integration technology.

It can be said that it is the next key milestone in the development of mechanical technology.

Currently, there is little mention of this technology worldwide, and prospective studies are limited.

But Qiao 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 really missed 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 hurriedly said:

"This direction is very good!"

"If you need help, you can find me."

"Although I don't know much, I can also contact you with resources."

"OK! No problem!"

Qiao Mai smiled brightly, while Chen Nian was thinking in his heart:

Although the direction is very important, whether you can continue to do so depends on your ability.

I hope you can really give me a surprise, let me pick a big leak.
