Chapter 337 Aerospace Talent Crisis
(At this point, the description of the ground can basically come to an end, and in the future, unless the plot allows, the ground will generally not be depicted again.) )
Throughout human history, the progress of science and technology and civilization has generally been at an accelerated trend, especially in the past 200 years in modern times. And this truth is also true in master companies.
At the beginning of May, the 500th aircraft of the master company rolled off the assembly line, and the space shuttle designed by Dongfang Ying for himself has also entered the production and assembly process.
Today's master company, excluding some old space shuttles, has more than 380 space shuttles in service, and its transportation volume has exceeded that of all countries in the world combined; Even in number, it accounts for almost 30% of the total number of space shuttles in the world. And 30% of the volume, but more than 50% of the traffic, including some countries that are still using launch vehicles, can be called terrifying.
In fact, even Germany sometimes has to use rockets, and the United States does the same, not to mention Russia. Space shuttle technology, after all, is an emerging technology, immature, unreliable, and expensive; If you use the engine of the master company, everyone is unwilling: the financial situation is already tight enough, and you have to spend tens of billions of Huaxia coins to buy the engine, which is really sad.
And here in the master company, with the increase of space shuttles, there was a situation where the supply of pilots exceeded demand for a while; With the improvement of the production line, the old aerospace pilot training system finally could not keep up with the speed of development of the master company.
This key issue was placed in front of all the senior management of the master company. Obviously, with the improvement of technology, the master company has entered the explosive fast track, and the development of talents cannot keep up with the development speed of science and technology!
Machinery can be mass-produced, but what about talents? It can only be cultivated little by little. The complete production line can be produced 24 hours a day, but talents can only be cultivated with a little bit of hard work. Don't you see, even in a country like China, there are less than 400 pilots who meet the most stringent aerospace standards!
And now, the high-speed expansion of the master company has finally encountered a bottleneck in talent! The newly trained students will have to wait for more than three or five years, and the first generation of astronauts such as Mu Xinghai are now overloaded; But the hundreds of space shuttles that have just rolled off the assembly line are unmanned!
In the airport hall, the senior management of the master company gathered together again; Mu Xinghai was indispensable, but unexpectedly, Liu Haibo, and even Li Canglan, who was in charge of the staff expedition of the master company, also arrived at the scene; The rest are from the Ministry of Space Environment Science and Technology.
Outside, on the newly expanded airport, no one was ecstatic about the shining space shuttle that had just rolled off the assembly line. 400 space shuttles have already kept the company running at full capacity; In fact, 400 aircraft is enough to meet the space construction of Huaxia and master companies.
It's just that people can't just look at what is in front of them; We have to look to the future! Therefore, seeing that the price of the space shuttle is declining due to the maturity of technology and production lines and the sufficient supply of materials, the cost price of the Dream Space Shuttle, which once cost 150 billion yuan, has been reduced to 1.5 billion yuan in just three years, and the master company has also begun to expand rapidly.
It's just that the speed of expansion is a little faster! Too fast, to be exact. At the beginning, Zhang Jingyuan poached 110 pilots from the state, and after these years of development with the old and the new, it has reached more than 380 people; But more than 380 people is already the limit now.
Even, in just a few years, the master company has developed nearly 300 or so space pilots by itself, which has surprised the country; Even if you know some of the secrets of the master company's cultivation, in three or five years, it has caught up with and surpassed the country's accumulation over the past few decades, which is amazing enough.
However, such a speed of development still cannot meet the needs of master companies. Right now, there is a full 100 gap in the master company!
This is an aerospace-level pilot, not a car driver, just recruit in the society.
In the space shuttle, even if it is the technology of a master company, there are still dozens of buttons and a dozen screens. Even the simplest of the most popular shuttles, the Space Shuttle Adventure, has more than 30 buttons and operating points; More than 80 checks are completed for each take-off and landing, and during the flight, the two pilots have to take care of the display number of the six screens, and at the same time take care of various problems encountered during the flight.
All of this is destined to be able to control these high-tech machines only by real talents.
And such talent training is destined to not be able to use the same training model as the school; The students at Master Company were indeed able to fly the space shuttle - but that was it, and it was okay to fly them in the atmosphere.
All the one shows that in front of the master company, is a talent training model that must be reformed, and the traditional talent training model - the old with the new, gradually groping the model, has been unable to keep up with the development of this era.
"Boss, I have a way, which is the extreme training method, which has also been mentioned by the state; However, it had to be canceled because of the high casualties and excessive consumption. After being silent for a long time, Mu Xinghai slowly spoke, but obviously, this was not an easy topic; made Mu Xinghai a little hesitant to speak.
"Extreme training method? Let's talk about it. "Zhang Jingyuan is interested in knowing, if it is not possible, just listen to it.
"Our traditional training method is to let the students first learn the principles, learn the mechanical mechanism, learn the emergency measures, etc., and then under the leadership of the coach, a little bit of exploration. This process, no matter how fast it is, will take three months before it can achieve initial results; And to become a real pilot, it takes at least two years; And if you want to become a real fighter pilot or a space shuttle pilot, then this time will only be longer!
This is the traditional training method, which is very inefficient, and a coach can basically only take two people at most, and three people will be too busy.
But on the contrary, there is an extreme training method: that is, after the trainees have a general understanding of the structure and principle of the aircraft, they will be directly taken to the sky and let them learn to operate, while operating, groping, and learning; Compared to traditional methods, this method can train qualified pilots in three months. However, the mortality rate of such a method is very high, and during World War II, in order to train enough pilots, this method was adopted, and the mortality rate in some countries was as high as 7%.
It's just that during World War II, the aircraft mechanism was simple, the operation was simple, and it was quick to get started; And the current aircraft, especially our space shuttle, in the eyes of those who do not understand, is a mess, if you want to adopt such a method, not only will the casualties be high, but the number of damaged planes will not be small. ”
"Mainly crashed because of improper operation?" Dongfang Ying keenly grasped the key on the side.
"Yes." Mu Xinghai nodded.
Dongfang Ying: "But we are now a space shuttle, we can completely enter space for operation, as long as we don't commit suicide, how can we crash!" ”
Click!! It's like a bolt of lightning that illuminates all the people in the master company!
Yes, this is a modern society, and extreme training methods are really completely adoptable. As long as you enter space, are you still afraid of crashing?
