When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student

the next day.

Thanks to Wang Donglai's appearance, the investigation into the cause of the rocket engine explosion went smoothly and quickly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the cause of the explosion had been completely determined.

There was a quality problem with the screws of the liquid oxygen tank, which came off during the experiment, causing the rocket engine to automatically shut down. A chain reaction then occurred, leading to the explosion of the rocket engine.

The reason for this judgment is not only because of the judgment made by Wang Donglai, but also because Han Ming brought the base staff to conduct all the tests according to the previous testing procedures using optical testing and other means.

It was only because Wang Donglai pointed out the problem with the screws of the liquid oxygen tank that we conducted a planned and focused inspection, and the results came out so quickly.

Otherwise, according to the previous process, each component needs to be strictly inspected, even several times.

From this we can see how important Wang Donglai’s set of mathematical models and formulas are, and they save a lot of time.

No one expected the problem to be here.

Even if an extremely obvious conclusion is placed in front of everyone, many people still find it hard to believe it.

However, after checking other parts from the same batch and discovering the same problem, everyone had to believe it even if they were reluctant to do so.

Since the cause of the explosion had been found, Han Ming did not delay and immediately wrote down the details of the incident and reported it.

In the report, Han Ming emphasized the role played by Wang Donglai in the investigation of the rocket engine explosion problem.

Especially the set of mathematical models and formulas created by Wang Donglai. In Han Ming's report, this set of mathematical models and formulas are no less important than the rocket engine.

the other side.

Wang Donglai is the youngest in the base, and his status as an academician and a billionaire immediately made him the focus of everyone's attention.

We are all barely of the same age, so it is easy to get along with each other.

In just one morning, Wang Donglai had already gained everyone's recognition.

The cause of the rocket engine explosion has been determined, and there is not much to do for the time being.

So, everyone relaxed and started chatting.

"I thought it would take a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so quick this time!"

"Yes, but compared to being so anxious, I still hope it will be like this in the future. The sooner I know the cause of the explosion, the better I can sleep."

"I once went through a review of the cause of an explosion. That was really busy. For a whole month, I didn't get a good night's sleep. I reviewed and tested as soon as I opened my eyes. I never stopped. In that month, I lost 5 kilograms."

"By the way, are all math students so good? We used to have to work for at least a week, but now it's solved with just a mathematical model and a few linear formulas."

"It's not that he's good at math, but that he's good. Look at who came this time. He's the youngest academician in our country. I estimate that this age record will not be broken for at least ten years."

"Comparing yourself to others is frustrating. At our age, the better ones are only in the first year of graduate school, and the normal ones are still in the fourth year of college, but they have already become academicians."

"To be honest, I am very curious right now. I really want to know what that mathematical model is. It's like a cat scratching its itch in my heart."

"By the way, I also heard a piece of news. Galaxy Technology, founded by Academician Wang, has established a space rocket company and is recruiting people from various major research institutes. Once you join, your salary will at least triple what you would get at the institute."

"Hiss...really?"

"It must be true. I've heard that many people have received invitations from Galaxy Technology. Some have declined, but many have chosen to join."

"Triple salary, plus all the benefits of Galaxy Technology, these conditions are too good, but can Galaxy Technology persist? Do private companies really have the ability to produce space rockets?"

"That's true. Salaries are high now, but if we run out of money, we'll still have to close down. It's not as stable as the institute."

Most of them were young people, so when they started chatting, the topic soon turned to this.

When it comes to the fact that wages will at least triple, many people's eyes light up.

While everyone was chatting, Wang Donglai happened to pass by.

At this time, a bold staff member of the base stood up and asked Wang Donglai: "Academician Wang, I heard that Galaxy Technology is also developing space rockets. Is this true?"

Wang Donglai stopped and said with a smile on his face: "It's true."

"Galaxy Technology is based on technology, so it is very interested in the research and development of high-tech, and has already carried out research and development work in semiconductors, biomedicine, energy materials and aerospace rockets."

After receiving Wang Donglai's affirmation, someone immediately asked, "Academician Wang, I heard that as long as you can join Galaxy Technology, your salary can be tripled at least. Is this true?"

Wang Donglai nodded and admitted it without hesitation, saying, "It's true. In my opinion, talent is the most valuable resource, and money is only meaningful when it is circulated. For R&D technicians, I think salary is the best way to evaluate them. If you have made a lot of achievements and contributions, then your salary must be reflected."

As Wang Dong said this, the eyes of the people present suddenly lit up.

In this world, few people dare to say that they don’t love money.

Anyone who would say this is either a fool or has so much money that he can't spend it all and says this on purpose to show off.

Space rockets are indeed a very high-end job, but it does not mean that everyone has a high salary.

Many people choose this line of work. It is undeniable that there is a love factor involved, but more people choose this line of work because it is a job that guarantees a good harvest regardless of drought or flood, is decent, and has a certain social status.

However, after I started working here, it became a siege.

However, when they suddenly heard that Wang Donglai offered a salary three times the minimum wage, many people felt an impulse in their hearts.

Wang Donglai also noticed this and felt something was wrong.

The reason is very simple. He came here just to investigate and learn, not to poach people.

It would be a bad thing if his influence caused employees to leave the base and research institute.

Thinking of this, Wang Donglai prepared to find a reason to leave.

It's exactly this time.

Han Ming walked over, and I don’t know if Han Ming heard what was said just now.

"Academician Wang, the cause of the rocket engine explosion has been found, and I have also reported it to the higher-ups. We are done now. Pack up your things, and we will leave soon!"

Hearing Han Ming say this, Wang Donglai nodded immediately.

Seeing this, some people wanted to ask more questions, but with Han Ming present, it was not easy to ask more questions, so they gave up. Wang Donglai, Han Ming and others did not have much to pack, so they did not delay for long and left the base.

on the way back.

Han Ming suddenly spoke up and asked Wang Donglai, "Academician Wang, is your company planning to set up a private aerospace rocket company in China similar to SpaceX of the Bald Eagle?"

Wang Donglai thought for a moment before saying, "Not really!"

"Engineer Han, you are an expert in this field. You should know the technological gap between us and the Bald Eagle. The rocket engine alone is far behind, not to mention other aspects."

“SpaceX may not be a big deal right now, but from a business perspective, it’s definitely worth a try!”

"However, unfortunately, domestic capital and major Internet companies are simply unwilling to invest in this."

Han Ming: "Then Academician Wang invested so much courageously, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to recoup his investment?"

Glancing at Han Ming and the others who were listening attentively in the car, Wang Donglai said with a smile, "Don't be afraid!"

“Because other companies developing space rockets are likely to fail, but I am different!”

Han Ming asked, "Why is it different?"

Wang Donglai did not answer directly this time, but asked Han Ming a question in return, "Engineer Han, what are the reasons why our country has developed industry, economy, and made such great progress in the field of high technology?"

This question is very simple, and any high school student can answer a few points of it.

For example, there is a large market with a population of more than one billion, rich natural resources, a large population base, a large number of talented people, and so on.

Han Ming didn't think much about it and answered, "There are many reasons, but the most important one is that our country carried out reform and opening up in a timely manner. The policy changes promoted the development of the domestic economy, and the economic development then drove other fields."

"After all, the economic base determines the superstructure. It is through compulsory education and literacy that a large number of qualified workers in our country can play a role in the industrial age."

"As for the development of high-tech fields, I think it is because of our country's large population base, the large number of talented people and their dedication to the country that we have been able to catch up with the international level so quickly."

"Of course, these are just the more important reasons."

Hearing Han Ming say this, Wang Donglai laughed and shook his head slightly.

"Mr. Han, I don't really agree with what you said."

"The reasons you mentioned are indeed correct, but they don't get to the heart of the matter."

“Any agricultural country that wants to develop into an industrial country must go through a painful stage, which is the stage of capital accumulation.”

"The West completed industrialization through colonial plunder, but even so, the sun never sets and the bald eagle paid a huge price, such as child labor and severely polluted land environment."

"Here, it's the scissors gap between workers and farmers."

"I believe that many people have heard about the advantages of our country on various occasions, and one of the indispensable points is that we have abundant demographic dividend resources."

“What is the demographic dividend?”

"This category does not only include migrant workers. Any field with a large number of employees can be called a demographic dividend."

"Our country's products are cheap and of good quality, so they sell well. Why are the prices low? Because the costs are low. Why are the costs low? Because part of the costs were supposed to be spent on workers and employees, but they were not used, so the costs were low."

"The same is true in the high-tech field. In a sense, our country's costs in high-tech fields are no less than those abroad."

"It's just that the cost abroad is more reflected in the capital cost, while our capital cost is not obvious. However, if we compare the talents paid by both sides, the cost paid by my country is much higher than that of foreign countries."

"I think Mr. Han must have seen a lot of publicity reports about someone who has been working at his post for many years, refused to see a doctor when he was sick, and insisted on working on the project, which resulted in disease."

“Talent, in my opinion, is the most important thing!”

“If I have to sacrifice the health of a talented person to shorten the time it takes to succeed in a project, I am not willing to do that!”

"We are constrained by the influence of traditional culture, and we are not doing well in this regard!"

"It is an honor to talk about dedication, but a shame to talk about treatment. This is also something I don't quite agree with."

"Engineer Han, ask yourself, with your ability, is your salary in the institute commensurate with yours?"

"Of course, the institute also has many other benefits, including a sense of social honor, a sense of gain, a sense of accomplishment, etc. I also know this."

"As a senior researcher, I don't know if Mr. Han's annual salary is 200,000 yuan. It's probably not. His living standard is definitely above the basic needs. And the sense of achievement and honor brought by this status is not less than 200,000 yuan, or even more."

“But, for young people, they are different.”

"House prices and commodity prices are rising, consumerism is rampant, but their wages are not much higher than the market price."

"But in the research institute, some people are extremely busy, while others are extremely idle. Mr. Han should not deny this, right?!"

"I have said so much, not to expose shortcomings or to have any opinions on the domestic aerospace industry."

"I'm just answering Mr. Han's question. Galaxy Technology has made a lot of money, money that I can't spend in this life or the next. Instead of putting it in the bank, I would rather use the money to develop some technology that is more useful to mankind."

"In addition to being a businessman, I am also a scholar. Of the two identities, I prefer being a scholar. The identity of a businessman is just to provide funds for my scientific research projects."

"If I submit a report saying that I want to follow the SpaceX rocket development route in China, I will not get approval from the higher-ups because the cost and risk are too high."

"But I use my own money to research projects that interest me. In this way, the higher-ups will not object but will strongly support me."

"It's an additional research direction, an additional development route, but it doesn't actually increase the capital cost. I don't think there is any reason for the higher-ups to object."

"I also want to see if private companies can achieve results by paying more attention to talent and using market means when developing aerospace rocket research and development."

"Even if it fails, I think it will be meaningful, but I don't think it will fail."

As Wang Donglai said this, the car suddenly became extremely quiet.

Whether it was Han Ming or the other researchers, they all showed a hint of thoughtfulness.

After a long while, Han Ming sighed and said, "Well, some situations are indeed as Academician Wang said, but most of them are good."

"Academician Wang, let's not talk about other things. Just the fact that your company can invest in space rockets has already surpassed most domestic Internet companies."

"As for the results, after what happened last night, I think as long as Academician Wang is here, it's only a matter of time before we get results. I'm waiting for good news from Academician Wang." (End of this chapter)
