The introduction meeting of the Star City project ended with deafening applause. The smiles on people's faces were filled with satisfaction, because the Star City was not a simple real estate project, and straight men would also do some engineering machinery and power tools.

"My rabbit is known as an infrastructure maniac. If there are black technology engineering machinery, it will definitely improve a lot of efficiency!"

"The old saying goes, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Xingchen Technology must definitely support the power tools. Of course, their real estate projects are also very powerful, but I value super projects such as the South-to-North Water Diversion. I hope that after Xingchen Technology enters the civil engineering field, we can build more major projects that benefit the country and the people."

"That's right! Xingchen Technology is involved in civil engineering, and residential projects are only a small part of it. The real significance lies in the future, and infrastructure maniacs will speed up!"

"Looking forward to the day when the northwest desert becomes an oasis! Just thinking about it, I feel so happy."

"Xingchen Technology builds cheap houses for us and also gives black technology tools to infrastructure maniacs. I'm afraid this is the real meaning of Mr. Luo's speech today."

The Chinese people were talking about it. Compared with skyscrapers, they saw the future more happily. Once the Pandora's box of civil engineering is opened, it will have a great impact on the whole world, even on China itself.

When the Loess Plateau turns into green mountains and clear waters, when the Tarim Desert with a total area of ​​360,000 square kilometers becomes fertile fields, and when the water from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is introduced into the northwest and the Indian gas explodes in place, the social and historical significance brought by Star Technology's entry into civil engineering can be truly realized.

As for skyscrapers, it is really just a trivial part of the civil engineering field.

The next morning, the Administration Bureau held a regular meeting. Everyone looked at the newly released headline topics and looked embarrassed.

"The people's brain-repair ability is really too strong. You see, the media is already imagining whether our civil engineering group can open an opening in the Himalayas and bring the Indian Ocean warm current into the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau." Cao Yuan said with a puzzled look: "Not how difficult this thing is, changing the climate of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will bring a chain reaction, right?"

"There is also this." Shen Lang continued: "The media in the northeast strongly recommends that we install giant windshields on the northern border to block the Siberian cold current. Hainan hopes that we will fill the Qiongzhou Strait. They want to border the mainland of the motherland and don't want to hang alone on the sea anymore."

"No, just fill in the Qiongzhou Strait?"

"The enthusiasm of the people of Hainan is understandable, but do they have misunderstandings? This workload is much greater than that of Yugong moving mountains, and it is far more than Jingwei reclaiming the sea, transporting the entire Taihang Mountains to the Qiongzhou Strait and throwing them down, that's about the same."

"It's impossible. At most, a few bridges are built, and the reclamation project is completely unnecessary."

Everyone was talking about it, and the people were enthusiastic about infrastructure construction, and they were also very enthusiastic about Xingchen Technology entering the civil engineering industry. For a moment, all kinds of wonderful ideas emerged. Everyone regarded Xingchen Technology as a monkey, hoping that they would complete various crazy and risky super infrastructure projects.

An Ran frowned and said to Luo Jia beside him: "What did you say yesterday? Didn't you introduce real estate projects? Why did the whole country treat us as Nuwa overnight? What the hell is it to fill the Qiongzhou Strait? Even the bridge of emotions cannot satisfy everyone's appetite. We have to transform the earth before we feel satisfied?"

Luo Jia gave An Ran a blank look, "How did I know? What I said at the meeting was to build a house and build a community for everyone, so that young people can settle down in big cities. Maybe it was because they brought a few outlooks on construction machinery, which caused everyone to think about infrastructure."

After a change of topic, Luo Jia said seriously: "But in some ways, it is not a bad thing for everyone to expect, which means that the people are not blinded by real estate. Everyone still understands that infrastructure construction is far more important than building several communities. Although China has a huge territory of 9.6 million square kilometers, there are many areas with harsh environments."

"Our population is the world's largest, but its cultivated land area is only third in the world, and it is even worse than India, which has 2.98 million square kilometers. This is the reality before us."

"Compared with the distant space, everyone is obviously more concerned about the hometown where our ancestors live for generations, so we are so concerned and put forward so many ideas after we get involved in civil engineering."

"Anyway, civil engineering projects like infrastructure and mining are inevitable on the road to the sea of ​​stars. Just practice and work hard to build civil engineering."

Everyone nodded. Although the civil engineering system is not as tall as the space elevator, it is of great significance and is a field that must be involved sooner or later.

"Okay." An Ran raised his eyebrows, "Go step by step and take down the construction machinery first. Sometimes I wonder why the development of any field we don't involve is so slow. I know that at this time, there are still all pile drivers in Germany's Baoe on the construction site. It seems that as long as we don't build pile drivers, other companies will not be able to overthrow the German mechanical hegemony."

Li Moran thought about it, "The software field is better, but I also discovered a phenomenon, such as star map verification, satellite signal analysis, and top tools and software, still need us to do. It seems that the people lack the necessary means of conquering high-tech projects."

Cao Yuan said: "Yes, I have also discovered this phenomenon. I thought we would drive other domestic companies to take the high-tech route. However, nowadays, they are still developing slowly. Real high-end cutting-edge technology still depends on us."

Everyone in the Administration found it incomprehensible. The progress of domestic enterprises is obviously slower than that of Xingchen Technology. Although it is much better than foreign countries, human beings will never be satisfied. Since it is a Chinese enterprise, Xingchen Technology should be used as a benchmark.

A complicated look appeared on Luo Jia's face and said in a deep voice: "It's very simple, because there are not enough talents."

"No," An Ran said: "We train the world's most engineers every year, more than all countries combined."

Luo Jia spread her arms and said, "I didn't say there is a shortage of engineers. What we really lack is you, Cao Yuan, and a top talent with a doctorate or above level."

"The data will not lie. As of 2018, my country had 19.5 billion university graduates, while North America had 99 million. In the competition for university-level talents, we crushed North America and all countries in the world. These 200 million college students are the cornerstone of China's progress."

"We have so many college students?" Li Moran said in surprise: "Not all, is there any error in this data?"

Luo Jia said: "There is no error, but the statistics are relatively loose. College graduates and adult college entrance examinations, correspondence graduates are all counted in it. As we all know, many of our fathers and grandfathers have correspondence college diplomas, and those diplomas are usually used to get a job title, which is very watery."

"Of course, in North America statistics, there are also relatively low-key college students like community universities, and everyone is ok with a lot of money."

Everyone nodded repeatedly, no wonder. It turned out that correspondence colleges were included in the statistics, but you can't say that correspondence colleges are not considered diplomas, it was just that in a specific era in the past, the quality of education was worrying.

After a pause, Luo Jia continued: "Anyway, in the statistical category of college students, we are twice as high as North America, but when we reach the graduate level, the situation will turn around and we are crushed by North America."

"It is also from the statistics in 2018 that my country has more than 8 million master's degrees, while North America has more than 38 million, which is more than 4 times ours."

"The gap between top scholars above the doctorate is even bigger. my country has more than one million doctorates, while North America has 1.04 million doctorates. Among all people living in North America, 3.16% are doctorates. Of course, this includes medicine, pharmacy, and even dentist doctors. But even if you only compare PhD, that is, the number of scientific research doctors is eight times that of us."

As soon as Luo Jia finished speaking, a scream broke out in the conference room, and everyone was frightened by the exaggerated data.

"No way! The gap between top talents is so big!?"

"No wonder the Human Resources Department where Di Wuchang is located has been poaching talents in East Asia in the past two years. It turns out that it is because our country lacks top talents." Everyone was talking.

Luo Jia nodded slightly, then pulled the whiteboard and wrote and painted it on it.

"Our professional team is heading towards a million mark, among which we have more than 200,000 top scholars with doctoral degrees, and almost one-sixth of the country's doctoral degree is in Xingchen Technology, so we can develop rapidly."

"We also need to understand another fact. Although our country has eight million masters and doctoral degrees, they are still very young. They have been trained in recent years, and the average working years are only five years."

"The average working years for 38 million masters and doctoral students in North America are fifteen years. In the field of scientific research, talent is very important, but experience cannot be ignored. Not only are the number of senior talents in North America, they also practice in their respective professional fields for many years, and their combat effectiveness is very terrifying."

"But don't be discouraged. Eight million vs. 38 million, we can still fight North America to such a level. In time, as the gap between top talents is compensated, the future will definitely belong to us. After all, today's China is catching up wildly. It's a pity that in the past few decades, we have trained too few top talents, which is a gap caused by history."

After listening to Luo Jia's introduction, everyone felt a little relieved. Perhaps working overtime is really the fate of this generation of scientific workers. The number gap can only be made up by the intensity of work.

In the real world, twenty undergraduates lead 80 high school students to create things, such as household appliances, basic industrial products, etc., my country beat North America with absolute advantages.

Twenty masters and eighty undergraduates can only create things that can only be created by 20 masters, such as mobile phones, computers, cars, etc., my country is evenly matched by North America.

But when we have twenty doctoral students and eighty masters, things that can only be made, such as aircraft engines, chips, space shuttles, etc., my country is very different from North America.
