Western countries are talking about this aircraft, but there is still a huge debate about whether this aircraft is practical. And some officers think that this is a great invention that breaks new ground, and that it is enough to change military history, and even change the history of mankind. However, there are also many people who think that this is a very chicken thing, and it has no value at all. Even, those who think that airplanes have no role at all, on the contrary, occupy the vast majority. After all, the habitual thinking of many years is not so easy to change, and if the habitual thinking of human beings can be changed at will, then human beings may have already stepped out of the galaxy. It is precisely because of the very stubbornness of inertial thinking that people's thinking is not so easy to change, so everyone is the reason why those who are ahead of their thinking are constantly pulled back. How many geniuses have fallen on this habitual thinking? Some of them have to oppose their own interest classes, and of course, many people are indeed influenced by the habitual thinking of the past. Of course, it is also possible that the two complement each other, not necessarily exist separately, after all, it is also reasonable for class to determine stance and thinking, and the economic base to determine the superstructure.

However, while Western countries were discussing whether this aircraft was practical, Wang Guorui was very unhappy with the officers of the equipment department.

"What are you guys doing here? Why didn't you talk to me beforehand? How did this plane come out so quickly? Moreover, it is okay to celebrate the 100th day of my children, but how did you make such a big move, and the air performances also came out? Cool and handsome! This plane is our secret weapon, and if it is exposed so early, then it will be difficult for us to keep it secret. You're doing this, you're letting the whole world know that there's such a thing as an airplane, what are we going to do then? At that point, our lead will be significantly shortened, will it be useful? Wang Guorui said a little angrily.

However, a major general of the armament department immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is actually unanimously approved by the officers of our armament department, and they think that this aircraft is actually different from ordinary weapons. At present, our aircraft development has reached a bottleneck, and our research flight people have not made much progress. Their thinking has been severely depleted, and it is difficult for them to develop anything new. At present, they can get this air for about 25 minutes, and can carry a person and about 20 catties of goods, which is already very much their limit. If we continue to keep it this secret, we may not make any progress in the short term. Even our pilots are only a dozen people, and these dozen people are not able to give a very valuable advice to the aircraft. Therefore, we cannot make rapid progress in such a short period of time. ”

"Rather than this, it is better for us to borrow the wisdom of all the people in the world to accelerate the development of this aircraft together. In fact, we believe that this aircraft will be used not only by the military in the future, but also by ordinary people. And if this plane is designed by only our military people, I am afraid that I will fall into inertial thinking and will not be able to broaden my mind. Especially our experts, as well as our soldiers, we tend to get caught up in the influence of what we have learned, and we can't really think of anything more practical. ”

"So, in order to prevent our tunnel vision, we thought we could open up to more people from different backgrounds and educations in more industries, so that they could participate in many ways to broaden their minds, and then we could refine these designs even more."

Wang Guorui listened to the words of these people in the equipment department, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Because in fact, in a sense, this explanation of these equipment departments also makes sense. He mentioned a term called "tunnel vision", which is actually like a person in a tunnel, often only able to see the light in front of him, and the light behind him. However, it was impossible to see the outside from the walls on either side of the tunnel or from inside the mountain.

The view of this tunnel is somewhat similar to that of sitting in a shaft, but it is not exactly the same. Sitting in a well and watching the sky is often used to describe the practice of those who are ignorant, but this tunnel vision does not exactly mean "ignorance". This tunnel vision is actually to describe a person in a certain industry or a certain area, often not seeing too big aspects, unable to see the broader world. In fact, this tunnel has a lot of vision, for example, if he has worked in a certain department for a long time, it is likely that his vision will be limited to this industry or things related to this industry, and once he reaches another position, he may not be able to adapt to it at all. For example, some people in the military have served in the logistics department for a long time, which often leads to a lack of understanding of the things on the front line, and in the end, the logistics and the front line cannot be effectively connected, so problems are inevitable.

There are many more such cases, and this will also happen if you have been in a certain department for a long time, or if you have studied a certain kind of knowledge for a long time. There is also a long-term service in the local area, so that the vision is often limited to the locality, unable to cast their eyes on the whole country, this is also a common phenomenon of many local officials, so why should we strengthen the communication between local and central department officials, to avoid this kind of tunnel vision.

Perhaps many people emphasize that professional people do professional things, and say that it is best to lead insiders in the industry. But in fact, some real professional and technical people understand a truth, not afraid of outsiders to manage insiders, the most afraid is to manage insiders. People who are too expert often can't manage this too expert thing, which is actually a problem of tunnel vision. It is too deep, which makes him blind, unable to see the broader world, unable to effectively connect the things needed by this industry with other industries, and it is easy to get out of touch.

Even later generations of the U.S. military hired some science fiction and military movie directors and screenwriters to help the army with exercises, and even served as staff officers. This is actually the embodiment caused by the fear of tunnel vision, so that those imaginative screenwriters and directors can effectively avoid this kind of tunnel vision that is too expert. In fact, many times a wild idea is more useful than the habitual thinking of a person who is too well informed.

Many scientific and technological inventions in this world are promoted, but they are often "initiated" by people who are too professional. The Wright brothers, who invented the airplane, were actually bicycle mechanics, and even the person who invented the Western planter was a musician, and I am afraid that the Western musician who invented the accordion never dreamed that his accordion principles would be used in the planter. This is also a major defect brought about by the channel vision, and it is impossible to connect applications from different industries. Maybe some technologies are common to many industries, but because some people are too expert, the vision is not broad enough, and in the end, more channels of use are stifled.

There are countless examples of this, and perhaps many scientific and technological inventions are actually used by professionals, and it is professionals who turn them from ideas into practical applications. However, many of the people who came up with this "golden idea" are not professionals in their own industry, and it is only when people in that industry hear the whimsy of this "non-professional" person that they start to study it. There are many, many examples of this, if there is no layman's whimsy, maybe the insider's head will not be able to associate this aspect, this is actually not a kind of sadness that is too insider?

"Do you think you've bottomed out your research capabilities on airplanes?" Wang Guorui asked.

The official of the equipment department said ashamedly: "Shame on the minister, it is true, otherwise we would not have made such a decision!" ”

Wang Guorui thought about it and didn't open his mouth to scold him. This sounds very simple, but it has to be said to be a helpless phenomenon. China's current talent base is too poor, there are too few scientific and technological talents in China, and even the categories are very incomplete. This lack of talent can be said to have been accumulated over many years, and it is not something that can be replenished. In a healthy modern country, the socio-professional division of labor has been given very widely. The social division of labor is an important way to promote progress, and the social division of labor must also have a sufficient talent system.

At present, there is no shortage of qualified personnel in China, but there is no shortage of qualified personnel in the military, but the number of scientific and technological talents is relatively narrow. Science and technology talents tend to be concentrated in mechanical, mechanical, and some military-related projects. And these talents are often not subdivided enough, so the industry they are engaged in is still relatively narrow. It is definitely not enough to be able to bypass through other industries, coupled with the lack of talents in the first place, and to distribute prescriptions to so many industries. The invention of military aircraft, this requires the cooperation of many industries. What fluid dynamics, what metallurgy, mechanics, mathematics and even many other aspects are needed. Wang Guorui even later generations know that aircraft can be said to be the highest embodiment of a country's high technology and the highest crystallization of a country's industrial science and technology.

Without a well-rounded human resource, it is naturally impossible to build a suitable aircraft. Therefore, at present, there is still too little talent in China to concentrate them on the study of aircraft. As a result, too many experts and insiders have a great view of the tunnel and cannot continue to study in depth. To a certain extent, it is not conducive to them to do other industries, and they can't have too many opportunities to touch the bypass and then drive the whole development.

"Okay, next, let the aircraft start civilian use, so that through the wisdom of the general public, the development of this aircraft will be gradually completed." Wang Guorui said. (To be continued.) )
