Chapter 655 Industry and Scientific Research

The aerospace industry, with more than seven million employees participating, has brought about a rapid development of the aerospace era.

You must know that this is not a small industry with hundreds of thousands of employees, nor is it a labor-intensive industry, but a technology, intelligence, and capital-intensive industry.

A large part of the more than 7 million employees are highly educated talents. The development of this large industry has also brought a series of marginal benefits.

For example, aerospace-related majors have become popular in universities in the past two years, and a large number of talents have been attracted.

Don’t think that there are more than seven million practitioners. It seems like a lot, but in fact it is not much at all.

Take Dasha Space City as an example. Dasha Space City is not just one Dasha Space City.

It contains 12 launch sites (6 of which are under construction), 1 ground command center, 3 surrounding ground radar stations, 17 supporting factories, 5 super-large warehouses, 1 security center, and 1 logistics center ( Including exclusive airport, exclusive railway), 6 affiliated laboratories, and 3 employee towns.

A ground command center alone requires 1,300 to 1,400 related employees. The reason why there are so many people is mainly because the launch mission is now very intensive. To ensure energy requirements, employees usually work in a 3+2 mode.

The so-called 3+2 means that there are five shifts in total, and a three-shift shift system is adopted. The five shifts are well coordinated to ensure that each position is manned 24 hours a day, and at the same time, everyone is guaranteed to receive 12 days of rest.

Although it is possible to reduce the number of employees by increasing working hours, the gains outweigh the losses.

Because to a certain extent, wages within China are not high, mainly because internal benefits are too high, resulting in a significant reduction in social consumption needed by the people. In fact, the internal circulation basically meets the basic needs of the people.

In this case, wages are actually equivalent to a kind of extra income. Many practitioners in the aerospace industry have very high wages, but their consumption is very small.

In other words, the Hua Yuan is actually an international currency. Although it can be used internally, it cannot become the main internal currency. The current main internal currency is "credit points."

This dual currency is actually designed to legally strip away some of the actual wealth of the super rich and curb their ability to influence basic prices through the Chinese dollar.

Through wage reform, including Suiren and a number of state-owned enterprises, they took the lead in completing the strategy of replacing Huayuan with credit points.

The current salary paid by the space agency is mainly based on credit points, which is generally several thousand yuan a month.

Of course, Huayuan's purchasing power has not collapsed, because basic services, daily necessities, and daily consumer goods can all be purchased through Huayuan, and the prices are exceptionally cheap.

However, everyone and private companies have purchase limits. If you want to purchase at a low price through Huayuan, there are certain restrictions.

The Consumer Goods Control Center is such a special review agency. It is clear how many agricultural products, industrial products, and specialty products (including services and handicrafts) the entire Greater China region can produce, so the prices are relatively clear.

If the total rice production in Greater China this year is 240 million tons, after calculation, there will be a surplus of about 30 to 50 million tons. After subtracting the strategic reserve, there will be a surplus of 18 to 21 million tons.

The surplus amount of this part is the part that can be freely circulated, which is divided into "internal free circulation quota" and "external free circulation quota".

If a private enterprise wants to obtain part of the rice and sell it abroad, its maximum purchase quota cannot exceed the foreign free circulation quota.

This kind of restriction has blocked the way for companies to speculate on their products within the country.

If it were in the past, there was a certain gap in local grain, and the production cost was relatively high, this restriction may cause these private companies to secretly resist, or even secretly communicate with ABCD to engage in the local grain market.

But things are different now. If private companies dare to control food prices locally, it is basically seeking death.

Even for the input and output of international products, you must be obedient, otherwise your father will teach you how to behave in a minute.

This is also the basic disk that can be circulated within the internal loop. Huayuan consumption of extremely large amounts is blocked, and with the pervasive identification of identity information, personal consumption will not be affected.

Overall, the aerospace industry, which employs more than seven million people, still seems to be doing well for China.

In the future, the aerospace industry will continue to expand to absorb the increasingly large number of graduates. Of course, some high-quality talents after re-education can also be absorbed into the aerospace industry.

After all, a large number of positions in the entire aerospace industry do not actually have high academic requirements, and college students can do them after a period of training.

For example, operating a robot to clean the runway, assembling parts, etc. Do you need a doctor to do it? College students can also do these jobs.

Although the aerospace industry as a whole is a high-education-intensive industry, it does not mean that everyone has a high degree of education. Otherwise, there are more than seven million employees in the entire aerospace system, and there are so many masters and PhDs.

This is also a change in thinking. If the aerospace industry wants to become a pillar industry, it cannot have huge internal restrictions.

Eliminating limitations requires not only technical, motivational, and physical efforts, but also intellectual unlocking.

Otherwise, if the entire aerospace system recruits hundreds of people a year, it is estimated that interstellar immigration will not be possible until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Only by allowing more people to participate can we develop into the interstellar era faster. At the same time, this strategy of lowering the threshold is also conducive to the healthy development of the industry and allows elite forces to focus on scientific research.

Just like major laboratories now, there are many internal logistics personnel. These logistics personnel are dedicated to running errands and serving scientific researchers.

Otherwise, if we hold a meeting every three days and occasionally engage in family affairs, relationships, and investments, it would be useless to do research.

Huang Xiuyuan deeply hates this kind of thing, and has been changing this situation so that researchers can concentrate on research.

Although the major state-owned scientific research institutions have not completely changed their ways, the Suiren Department has been operating according to this model for several years and has achieved very fruitful results.

The laboratories of the Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Engineering, and major universities have been under pressure from the Suiren Department. This terrible pressure has forced them to make changes.

With Huang Xiuyuan's influence in the scientific community at this time, he will not be merciful. Anyway, he has cleaned up many state-owned scientific research institutions over and over again, digging corners until the walls are about to collapse.

If it doesn’t change, it will completely become history.

Yangcheng.

Lingnan Institute of Materials, established less than eight months ago, is actually composed of three old institutes.

The previous three research institutes had always been disobedient to Huang Xiuyuan, so their management was directly cut off, and then merged and reorganized.

Zhang Xuelin, the new director of the institute, has been treading on thin ice in the past six months. Although 800 million credit points were approved for scientific research funding, he did not dare to be cautious.

You know, the predecessor of Lingnan Institute of Materials was cleaned several times by Huang Xiuyuan. The entire management was ruined, and many people went straight in to pick up soap.

If he dared to be careful, the end would probably not be much better.

In fact, many people have looked away. After all, in the era of internal circulation, money from unknown sources cannot be used at all.

"Zhang Suo, good news."

Excited shouts came from outside the door.
