Chapter 31: Glory and Dreams

After walking two steps quickly, Chu Ge saw the golden signboard of his alma mater, at first glance, the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing, the momentum was extraordinary, and it was on par with several regular colleges and universities in the city.

It's a pity that there are a few signboards next to it that "excavator technology can be accelerated in three months" and "learn to be a chef, come to a 'vocational school', and have a worry-free future", which deeply betrays the old foundation of the college - these are short-term training courses that are insufficient for students and cannot make ends meet.

Speaking of which, construction machinery operation is actually a particularly promising profession.

In the hundred-year-long "era of calamity", human civilization has been fighting against various natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc., and in order to keep the city of high-rise buildings under the double ravages of super earthquakes and violent hurricanes, construction machinery is a well-deserved Great Wall of steel.

In the late era of calamity and now in the era of Nirvana, the magnificent reconstruction and rejuvenation began, and it is necessary to build a new, more spectacular and brilliant super city between the ruins of the city and even the mountains and seas, and it is inseparable from all kinds of magnificent and high-tech construction machinery.

Therefore, even though most of the science and technology of human civilization have stagnated or even regressed in the era of calamity, various equipment and technologies in the field of construction machinery are advancing by leaps and bounds.

In game terms, in the past 100 years, all the "scientific and technological points" of human civilization have been invested in the field of construction machinery, in addition to the indispensable military field.

Modern construction machinery, compared with the beginning of the 21st century, is more than one or two hundred years ahead, and is an out-and-out "future technology".

Even the most basic and widely used excavator is no longer a simple joystick, crawler, boom, arm and bucket, but integrates a comprehensive operating platform equipped with a variety of future technologies, including percussion drills, oscillation digging, intelligent travel systems and even high-frequency oscillators and neural interactive operating systems.

Under such a trend, not only a large number of talents are invested in the design, development and production of construction machinery, so that "mechanical design, mechanical transformation, mechanical operation" has become a popular profession that everyone is eager for, major universities and social forces are also constantly investing, and a large number of relevant faculties, research centers and training courses have been opened.

The construction machinery operation major of the Higher Vocational and Technical College has also been brilliant for a while.

However, with the design and operation of construction machinery, it continues to develop in the direction of "modularization" and "foolishness", and the mechanical profession here seems a little embarrassing.

Thanks to the development of a variety of fully automatic operating systems and "fool mode", just a few buttons, a few joysticks, two or three months of short-distance training courses can be learned - even without special training, just ask relatives to find a master on the construction site to take a belt, a few months down can also be proficient.

In the words of the circle: "There are more people who can drive excavators than those who can ride bicycles." ”

In terms of flexibility, the two-year higher vocational program is obviously not comparable to most short-term training courses.

Even the most basic excavator operation has many places worth studying, including dangerous site operations, high-altitude, tunnel and cave operations, high-intensity continuous operations in natural disaster environments and even war environments, as well as excavation of special working faces, excavator maintenance, strengthening and transformation and even new design, and design to mechanics, materials science, energy science...... The knowledge in it is big again, and I can't finish studying it in a lifetime.

In the direction of "high-precision", vocational schools are far from being the opponents of four-year universities and research centers - there are two very good comprehensive universities in Lingshan City, Lingshan University and Lingshan Institute of Technology, and the mechanical department is a well-known golden signboard, which is the place where 800 serious training of mechanics, engineers, designers and top operators.

The only benefit of vocational schools, probably only left a long history, from the "doomsday earthquake" later to create, decades down, collected a large number of scrap copper and rotten iron that are not wanted elsewhere - almost scrapped antique construction machinery, as long as students are willing to learn, dabbling can be more extensive, most of the construction machinery on the market can learn the operation skills, even if not proficient, can occupy a "wide" word, barely a "panacea", anywhere can be mixed to eat.

For Chu Ge, there is another small benefit - in order to make money, he works part-time, often helps the teacher repair those old antique machines, and learns maintenance skills that can be improvised.

In short, Chu Ge's class is about to graduate, and the skills they should learn are almost the same, and the students don't like to study very much, and now they are skipping classes all day long, playing games, playing black jobs, and not many people are willing to come back to listen to theoretical classes like heavenly books.

Two days ago, the explosive news of "aura recovery" set off a shocking storm among the classmates, Chu Ge glanced at the class group a few times last night, and found that the attitude of the vast majority of students was: "Aura recovery, the world is in chaos, and you still learn a yarn, go out HIGH!" ”

Of course, this is all an excuse, these guys, even if the world is not in chaos, I haven't seen them go to school properly.

The first class on Monday was the hands-on practice of "Yan Tieshou", which was also the only class that Chu Ge liked to take, if it was a boring theoretical class, maybe he would be ready to move.

Bypassing the No. 1 teaching building, Chu Ge came to a training ground the size of seven or eight football fields.

In front of you, there is a row of glittering statues - all of them are construction machinery destroyed in the war against natural disasters in the past hundred years, which have been dragged back and painted with golden paint, which will serve as an indelible monument.

Chu Ge's heart was originally full of distracting thoughts, but when he saw the statues of these construction machinery, somehow, his heart suddenly calmed down, and his mind was full of tragic and generous roars.

"'Camel' super giant 28-wheel truck, produced by Bayi Heavy Industry, the most classic all-terrain off-road truck, in the 19th year of the era of calamity, in the battle against the 'Nulong River flood outbreak', a full hundred soldiers drove a hundred 'camels', carrying nearly one million tons of rocks and sand, straight into the Nulong River, blocking the that was about to collapse, they waited until the last moment to jump out of the car, sacrificing 67 people, but saved dozens of cities in the lower reaches of the Nulong River, tens of millions of people!

"The 'Iron Bull Generation' multi-functional excavator performed well in the 'Fuji Earthquake', and countless of our soldiers, engineering soldiers and fire rescue volunteers are driving the 'Iron Bull Generation', carrying the red flag, forming a torrent of steel, sweeping the East and the South Seas, sprinkling our glory and hope from Ezo to Ryukyu, from Annam to Siam, to Java, Guinea!

"The 'gluttonous' rock crushing and boring machines performed well in the battle to stop the Yellowstone volcano, to the Great Lakes, and in a series of subsequent battles to rebuild the eastern shore of the Pacific Ocean, saving countless people and making them feel convinced and grateful for the power from the East.

"It is precisely by relying on the countless powerful construction machinery of 'camels, iron oxen, and gluttony', coupled with the unremitting efforts of the engineering warriors, the 'Iron Knights', that after five hundred years, the hegemony of this planet is once again inclined to the east!"

Chu Ge sighed with emotion in his heart.

At the beginning of the 21st century, the operation of construction machinery was not valued, and "driving an excavator" was often ridiculed and was a very vulgar job.

But in today's calamities and full of lofty ambitions, the "excavator" has already become a symbol, which represents all construction machinery, symbolizing the determination, will and strength of human beings to survive and constantly fight and build homes and civilizations.

When a natural disaster strikes, the excavator is the last wall.

After the natural disaster has passed, the excavator is the hope of revival.

No matter how devastated the homeland is, no matter how crazy the natural and man-made disasters are, as long as there is an excavator that can rumble, human civilization will never forget the glory of the past and the dream of the future!

Chu Ge took a deep breath and stepped over these fragmented, badly twisted, almost scrap metal statues, but still shining brightly, and walked into the training ground.
