Zhan Tianyou and Qian Qing's visit is naturally not to give gifts, for these two old subordinates, Qin Kai is naturally very familiar, in addition to working hard in their respective fields, if there is no special matter, it is almost impossible to make a special trip to visit the door, as a result, the intention of these two is still somewhat beyond Qin Kai's expectations.

"Chairman, these years of education, is indeed a great achievement, now the graduates of major colleges, universities have become the elite of the major industries in China, our engineering association, there are many young people in their thirties, research level is very high, but also let me this old guy is very optimistic!" Zhan Tianyou, who is less than 50 years old, now calls himself an old guy, which is very in line with his status in the engineering field, and he changed his words and pointed to Qian Qing next to him, "However, now it feels very problematic to be as willing to work as Lao Qian is!"

Zhan Tianyou had something to say, Qin Kai naturally understood it, and he roughly guessed something, and Qian Qing next to him naturally picked up the topic, "Chairman, our Technician Association has been implementing the evaluation of senior technicians in accordance with the evaluation plan of horsetail technicians and engineers, but now more and more young people are entering universities, and there are fewer and fewer students in industrial schools who can endure hardships and can hone in the technician position for ten or eight years. Every year, the number of middle and senior technicians who can be evaluated by the guò association has dropped very strictly......"

The information brought by Zhan Tianyou and Qian Qing was indeed beyond Qin Kai's expectations, at least in his concept, after the country's industrialization and education popularization reached a high level, the contradiction between the so-called blue-collar workers and engineers would appear. Unexpectedly. Association of Investigations in this regard. It's much deeper than you think...... This is an additional result of the operation of non-profit science and technology organizations.

The numbers brought by Zhan Tianyou and Qian Qing made Qin Kai also realize that with the vigorous development of the domestic economy, finance and industry, this major issue related to the future of the country's industry must be put on the table and seriously considered......

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, senior engineers in the Nanyang system had a high status comparable to senior engineers, and it was difficult to be promoted to senior engineers. Even far beyond the promotion channel of engineers, in terms of the development process of Mawei Heavy Industry over the years, a large number of young people are going to the direction of the development of engineers, and on the senior technician channel, due to the arduous process, and the vigorous development of private enterprises, young people simply can not bear this boring technical training, technical achievements, and they can't wait to enter the private enterprises with higher salaries, or operate the industry independently.

The direct result of this guide zhì is: In the 10 years from 1900, a large number of immigrants from overseas provinces entered the developed areas of the mainland to work. The training of domestic technicians is unprecedented, and the evaluation certificates of junior technicians issued by the technician association are increasing at a rate of almost 10% every year, but the absolute number of certifications of intermediate technicians and senior technicians has declined significantly.

This information, immediately made Qin Kai also feel a lot of pressure, in the process of industrialization, standing at the top of the industry pyramid of the industry, will eventually enjoy the greatest benefits of the industry, of course, the primary industry threshold is low, which means that the current very cheap human capital in China is easy to convert into actual profits, however, the history of New China, the problem of selling tea eggs and making missiles, has obviously been placed in front of itself.

The deep-rooted concept of reading in the Chinese mind is naturally a good thing, but at the same time, for technicians and technicians, subconsciously they are still considered to do manual work, far from the brilliance of engineers who take the theoretical channel to read, even if the students who come out of the technical college prefer to take the theoretical research channel, rather than the field of technicians who are regarded as physical workers.

Qin Kai naturally immediately had some ideas, but he also realized that these two people were naturally not just talking about the problem, "That...... You two must have some ideas when you two come to me together, so don't hide it, let's talk about it...... This matter is indeed a big issue related to the future development of our country, and I support you to make more positive innovations! ”

Receiving Qin Kai's hint of encouragement, Zhan Tianyou and Qian Qing glanced at each other, and then Zhan Tianyou said: "Chairman, you are leading us into a new era of industry, naturally you know better than anyone, design and engineering are originally two fields of one, which is also the deep experience of our two associations for many years of cooperation, so we have brought the advice of the directors of the Engineers Association and the Technician Association, first, we hope to merge the Engineers Association and the Technician Association to break the boundaries between technicians and engineers, The second is to clarify the status of technicians in the Nanyang Department and the State-owned Assets Department......"

Zhan Tianyou and Qian Qing brought more than ten detailed constructions, and the essence is to break the so-called boundary between technicians and engineers, as long as the senior technician has enough ability, he can also serve as a senior engineer for theoretical research, and if the engineer also has enough hands-on ability, he can naturally be a senior technician...... Of course, this one seems a bit out of the ordinary......

At the same time, the new association after the merger will introduce a more detailed evaluation system on the basis of still ensuring independence to ensure the fairness of the association in this field, and one of the most important suggestions comes from their request for Qin Kai, to gradually change the concept of the people, it is obviously not easy, but there are some things that must be done.

On February 10, "Beijing Daily", "China Times", "Declaration", "Fujian New News" and other official media collectively published the front page of Qin Kai's "Science and Technology Leading the Future of China's Industry" published by Qin Kai as the chairman of the National Science and Technology Development Committee.

This somewhat abrupt article directly shook the nerves of the whole country, and the sense of identity proposed by Qin Kai made everyone realize at once that the future of industrial technology does not only come from engineers, but also the status of technicians has been fully recognized at the national level, and technology has been promoted to a realm of "ingenuity", which is definitely a subversive view.

On the 11th, the domestic media once again set off a big discussion about the Association of Engineers and the Association of Technicians, and also set off a new round of debate to enhance the modernization of domestic industry, and then, on the 14th, the cabinet of Beijing Zhou Ruidong signed a proposal to carry out patents in the field of technology, planning to provide patent protection for the industrial recipe and processing technology of the private industry.

For the state-owned assets industry, on February 20, with the merger of engineers and technician associations, the status of senior technicians began to be greatly improved.

On March 2, Tsinghua University, which was financed by 13 private foundations such as the Kyoto Education Foundation, was officially established in Beijing.

In his speech at the inaugural meeting on the same day, Qin Kai once again made a further tone for his industrial concept, Tsinghua University should maintain academic freedom under the premise of exploring the truth to create an oriental famous university, and the ultimate goal of theoretical research is to transform it into a driving force to promote the industry.

On March 4, the military envoy Cai Yi in Berlin sent back an important telegram that after nearly four months of assault training, the German First Panzer Division, which was composed of 200 CK tanks for export, had initially become combat-capable, and the German side had unreservedly agreed with the armored combat concept from the Chinese General Staff, but the First Panzer Division composed of 200 CK01 tanks was actually quite embarrassed in terms of the number of troops.

After all, the CK01 tank has only 5 combat personnel, which has stuffed this 4-wheeled tracked armored car full, the German General Staff has adjusted this, and added an additional 50 "Earhart" armored personnel carriers for the armored division.

The Earhart armored personnel carrier weighs 4.9 tons, has a crew of 8~21 people, is equipped with 3 machine guns, has an engine power of about 40 horsepower, and a maximum speed of 20 km / h.

The German-made armored car was obviously originally Germany's secret weapon, but due to the emergence of the tank, the original value was large, which would expose the Chinese advisory group, this news made the Beijing cabinet and the Ministry of Military Affairs a little surprised, Cai Ye also made a judgment again - the German staff has entered the final general mobilization before the war, and the new chief of staff Moltke Jr. even secretly invited Field Marshal Schlieffen to reassess the battle plan, which means that the German tank can't wait to join the battle!

The Austro-Hungarian reserve army, which had gradually completed its reorganization on the eastern front of the Balkan Peninsula, had also received sufficient respite in the past three months, and the fortress of Pumilel had undoubtedly become the strongest support of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, although it was surrounded by nearly 500,000 Russian troops, but the Russian attack on the fortress proved to be a complete failure after leaving more than 100,000 corpses.
