Twenty-eighty-seven, thousands of red and purple arranged

Sun Yuanqi turned back to Dong Xiancong, the general office of the Petroleum School, and said: "Jieshe, the study of petroleum is broad and profound, and it is not as simple as digging it out of the ground and distilling it into kerosene!" In the next one or two hundred years, oil will become the world's most important fuel and chemical raw material, dramatically changing the way people live. Baidu search://As the only specialized school in China that takes petroleum as the research object, you must start with the four links of petroleum exploration, oilfield development, oil and gas gathering and transportation, and petroleum refining while engaging in teaching work, and carry out all-round research on petroleum. If you have any difficulties, you may wish to tell me and Director Wu, and promise to try our best to help you solve them! ”

Dong Xiancong, who accompanied the inspection, even said that he was grateful: "Dong first thanked Mr. Sun and Director Wu for the teachers and students of the school!" It is true that our petroleum school is inferior to our sister universities in terms of the number of teachers and students and the employment of students, but we also have our own difficulties. First, the Chinese people know very little about oil. The oil industry originated in the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, just a few decades ago. Chinese people know almost nothing about it except for refining kerosene, which leads to students from all over the world rarely taking the initiative to apply for our petroleum school. Students who study in our academy either fail to get into other schools, or they are ready to wait for the opportunity to apply for other schools. Therefore, in terms of the quality of students alone, we are congenitally lagging behind other schools.

"Second, the research on oil at home and abroad is still in its infancy, and many cutting-edge technologies are in the stage of secrecy. Our petroleum school has not been established for a long time, there is no perfect subject textbook, there is no special teachers, teaching can only rely on their own exploration, the early stage is mainly to geology, physics, chemistry and other petroleum-related subjects mixed together. As for the core subjects, teachers and students can only discuss and explore them together. So in terms of teacher level, we naturally lag behind other schools.

"Thirdly, China has not discovered any major oil fields so far, and many students think that learning oil is like learning the art of slaying dragons, and there is no prospect of any prospects, and the fact that it is difficult for the first class of students to find jobs after graduation is actually proof of this. So they will inevitably be a little slack off emotionally. ”

Sun Yuantou expressed his understanding, and then said, "I think so about the three questions you mentioned. First of all, the fact that China has not discovered any large oil fields so far does not mean that there are no large oil fields. On the contrary, according to theoretical predictions, there are a large number of oil resources waiting to be exploited in the northeast, north and northwest of China, which is undoubtedly true, otherwise I would not have set up this petroleum school four years ago for no reason. And in the next ten to twenty years, the oil industry is bound to shine, so learning oil is definitely not learning the art of dragon slaying. ”

Dong Xiancong was overjoyed: "I will definitely relay Mr. Sun's words truthfully to the teachers and students of the school, I believe that when they hear your conclusion, they will be in high spirits and their learning attitude will change!" ”

At this time, China had not experienced the impact of the May Fourth Movement, and was still in the stage of idolatry, and there was a natural superstition about the supreme. In the minds of ordinary middle school students, Sun Yuanqi is the most famous scientist in the world today, and his scientific conclusions are naturally correct, although his research scope is limited to electronics and physics. Now he says that "according to theoretical predictions, there are a lot of oil resources in the northeast, north and northwest of China", then there must be something, and there is no need to doubt it!

Sun Yuanqi added: "Although there are four main links from the search for oil to the use of oil, based on the current situation in China, you should focus your research on oil field exploration and processing and refining. Processing and refining, you can study and explore by yourself; As for oil field exploration, you may want to cooperate with the Geology School and the Department of Geology of Jingshi University. Mr. Zhang Hongzhao, Mr. Ding Wenjiang and Mr. Weng Wenhao of the Department of Geology of Jingshi University have conducted deep research in geological survey and mineral exploration. Weng Wenhao, in particular, has just received a doctorate in geology from the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium, the first doctor of geology in China's history. Teachers and students of your school can take advantage of the winter and summer vacations to go to Beijing to learn from them. ”

Dong Xiancong replied: "We will definitely send some teachers and students to Jingshi University for advice!" ”

Sun Yuanqi continued: "Since the Petroleum School is unable to recruit outstanding students normally, the Hubei Provincial Department of Education may wish to come forward and reward the students who are admitted to the Petroleum School. In view of the fact that there is no perfect textbook for oil-related core subjects, teachers and students need to explore together, so the school is changed from a three-year system to a four-year system, and the last academic year is funded by the Ministry of Education, and students go to Shaanxi Yanchang Oilfield for field investigation and research. ”

Dong Xiancong bowed deeply to Sun Yuanqi: "On behalf of the teachers and students of the school, Dong Mou, thank you for your strong support!" ”

After Sun Yuanqi and others inspected other colleges and universities, they came to the most important stop of the trip: Hubei Higher Industrial School. As the first famous science and engineering school in Central China, Hubei Higher Industrial School is really extraordinary, no matter the campus area, classroom buildings, or the number of students, and academic atmosphere, it is far better than those colleges and universities in front. Of course, Sun Yuanqi's strong support is indispensable.

Under the guidance of Qian Sui, the general office of the Higher Industrial School, Sun Yuanqi and his entourage first arrived at the machinery manufacturing laboratory. The laboratory, jointly established by Hubei Higher Industrial School and China Industrial Machinery Corporation, is located at the core of the school, with towering teaching buildings, huge research sites, weaving crowds, and roaring sounds from time to time, all of which show its vigorous vitality.

Qian Sui introduced on the side: "The machinery manufacturing laboratory was established in September of the 32nd year of Guangxu 06), and it has been more than five years. The laboratory mainly focuses on various industrial machinery and equipment, covering many fields such as food, chemical industry, and electronics. Since its establishment, there have been three major projects with a budget of more than 100,000 taels, namely, a complete set of potato peeling and slicing equipment commissioned by China Industrial Machinery Company, a complete set of industrial ammonia synthesis equipment, and an automobile chassis system commissioned by General Motors.

"Among the three projects, the complete set of potato peeling and slicing equipment has been successfully completed as early as two years ago, and has achieved good economic benefits after being put into production in China, the United States, Europe and other places, and has also brought 60,000 US dollars of scientific research funds to our school, which has greatly encouraged the interest of teachers and students in learning and researching machinery manufacturing. At present, the total number of teachers and students in the laboratory has reached more than 180, accounting for about one-tenth of the total number of students in the school! ”

To put it bluntly, these three projects were all promoted by Sun Yuanqi, and the background of the Sun family business is indispensable behind them. However, it is undeniable that these three projects have greatly exercised the research ability of the machinery manufacturing laboratory, encouraged students to devote themselves to scientific research, and the project of researching a complete set of industrial ammonia equipment is also a major measure for the benefit of the country and the people. Therefore, Sun Yuanqi was quite concerned about the progress of the research: "Brother Nianqi, Xianzhou, how is the progress of your other two projects?" ”

Liu He, director of the Machinery Manufacturing Laboratory, replied respectfully: "Returning to the chief executive, the development of the automobile chassis system has achieved phased results and has been adopted by General Motors' new car. At present, the research group is carrying out follow-up research to try to solve the problems of how to control more effectively, how to increase ride comfort, and how to drive control when the weight of the car is doubled.

"As for the complete set of industrial ammonia synthesis equipment, it is the most cutting-edge scientific and technological problem in the world today. It is said that the German chemist Haber has invented and patented a process for the synthesis of ammonia from air, and we have to find another way. At present, according to the characteristics of the Sichuan Basin, which contains a large amount of natural gas, we are trying to produce synthetic ammonia from natural gas, and have achieved certain results, but it will take at least three years before industrial production. ”

Sun Yuantou expressed his appreciation: "Ammonia is of great significance to agricultural production and chemical synthesis, if you can invent the process of preparing ammonia as soon as possible and put it into production, it will be a great contribution to the community and the people's livelihood." Of course, ammonia is corrosive, and there will be many dangers in the synthesis process, so you must do a good job of safety protection and don't be careless! ”

After seeing Qian Sui and Liu He's promise, Sun Yuanqi asked again: "What difficulties do you have in Hubei Higher Industrial School that need to be solved?" It just so happens that I and you Director Wu are here today, so you might as well speak up and listen to it. ”

Qian Sui hurriedly bowed down and replied: "Thanks to the care of President Sun and Director Wu, our Hubei Higher Industrial School has sufficient funds to ensure that the teachers and students of the school have no worries about food and clothing, and can devote themselves to studying. Teachers teach and students are diligent and knowledge-seeking, and they can all learn and succeed. Whenever they graduate, factories and mines in the Lianghu area will take the initiative to seek talents, and there is no problem with employment. ”

"According to what Brother Nian Xuan said, you just don't have any difficulties?" Sun Yuanqi was obviously a little discouraged: Could it be that I came here to listen to you sing praises of merit?

Qian Sui hurriedly said: "It's not without problems! Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "Shi Nong Industry and Commerce", although the social status of craftsmen is not as good as that of scholars and farmers, but slightly better than that of merchants, it can be said that "less than the top, more than the bottom". Nowadays, with the changes in society, the status of merchants has changed dramatically, becoming a class second only to scholars, and craftsmen have been reduced to the bottom of the four people. As a college for training craftsmen and technicians, our Hubei Higher Industrial School is naturally not recognized by the society.

"At present, young students in the Huguang area are generally the first choice for graduation and application for schools, and the Lianghu Normal School, the Law and Politics School, and the Business School, and the teachers are also proud to teach in these three institutions. Although we do not see any great impact at this stage, I am worried that if we continue to form a social atmosphere, it will have serious consequences for various science and engineering schools, and it will be difficult to correct them. Therefore, I hope that General Director Sun and Director Wu can prevent the slightest problem and curb this kind of symptom as soon as possible. ”
