Chapter 337 Aerospace Talent Crisis
(At this point, the description on the ground can basically come to an end. In the future, unless the plot allows, the ground will generally not be described again.)
Looking at human history, the progress of science and technology and civilization is generally on an accelerated trend, especially in the past 200 years of modern times. This truth is the same in expert companies.
In early May, the 500th aircraft of the Master Company was taken off the line, and the space shuttle designed by Dongfangying for himself has also entered the production and assembly stage.
Today's expert companies have more than 380 space shuttles in service except for some old space shuttles, and their transportation volume has exceeded the total of all countries in the world; even in terms of quantity, it accounts for almost 30% of the total space shuttle volume in the world. And 30% of the number accounts for more than 50% of the transportation volume, including some countries that are still transporting with launch vehicles, which is terrifying.
In fact, even Germany sometimes has to use rockets, the United States is the same, let alone Russia. Space shuttle technology is an emerging technology after all, immature, unreliable, and expensive; if you use engines from expert companies, everyone is unwilling to accept it: the finances were already tight enough, and it would have to spend tens of billions of Chinese coins to buy engines, which is really unpaid.
As the space shuttles increase, there is a situation where the pilot supply is in short supply for a while; as the production line becomes more and more perfect, the old space pilot training system finally cannot keep up with the development speed of the expert company.
This key issue is placed in front of all senior management of expert companies. It is obvious that with the improvement of technology, expert companies have entered an explosive fast track, and the development of talents cannot keep up with the development speed of technology!
Machinery can be mass-produced, but what about talents? They can only be cultivated bit by bit. A complete production line can be produced 24 hours a day, but talents can only be cultivated bit by bit. I didn’t see that even a country like China has less than 400 pilots who meet the strictest aerospace standards!
Now, the high-speed expansion expert company has finally encountered a bottleneck of talents! Newly trained students have to wait for more than three to five years, while the first generation of astronauts such as Mu Xinghai are now operating overload; but the hundreds of newly launched space shuttles are unmanned!
In the airport lobby, senior executives of the expert company gathered together again; Mu Xinghai was indispensable, but Liu Haibo, who was responsible for the adventure of the expert company's employees, also arrived at the scene; the rest were from the Ministry of Space Environment Science and Technology.
Outside, at the newly expanded airport, no one was ecstatic about the newly launched shiny space shuttle. 400 space shuttles have already allowed high-scoring companies to operate at full capacity; in fact, 400 aircraft are enough to meet the space construction of China's current experts.
However, people cannot just look at the present; they must look to the future! Therefore, as the space shuttle, due to the maturity of technology and production lines and the sufficient supply of materials, is declining. The cost price of the Dream Space Shuttle, which once cost 150 billion yuan, has dropped to 1.5 billion yuan in just three years, and expert companies have also begun to expand rapidly.
However, the expansion speed is a bit fast! To be precise, it is too fast. At that time, Zhang Jingyuan dug 110 pilots from the country. After years of development with the old and new, he has reached more than 380 people; but more than 380 people are already the limit now.
Even in just a few years, the expert company has developed nearly 300 space pilots by itself, which has surprised the country; even if you know some secrets of the expert company's cultivation, it has surpassed the country's decades of accumulation in three to five years, which is amazing enough.
However, such a development speed still cannot meet the needs of expert companies. At present, expert companies have a gap of 100!
This is a pilot at the aerospace level, not a car driver, just recruit it in society.
In the space shuttle, even the technology of a master company still has dozens of buttons and dozens of screens in all sizes. Even the simplest and most popular space shuttle Adventure has more than 30 buttons and operating points; each takeoff and landing requires more than 80 inspections. During flight, the two pilots must take care of the display data of six screens, and at the same time take care of the various problems encountered during flight.
All of this is destined that only real talents can control these high-tech machinery.
Such talent training is destined to not be able to use the school-like training model; students in master companies are indeed able to fly space shuttles - but that's all, it's OK to let them fly in the atmosphere.
Everything shows that what is placed before the expert company is a talent training model that must be reformed, and the traditional talent training model - a model that leads the new with the old and gradually explores, can no longer keep up with the development of this era.
"Boss, I have a method, which is the extreme training method, which has been mentioned by the state; but because of the high casualties and excessive consumption, it has to be cancelled." After a long silence, Mu Xinghai spoke slowly, but obviously, this is not an easy topic; Mu Xinghai spoke hesitantly now.
"Extreme training method? Tell me." Zhang Jingyuan was interested in understanding it. If it was not possible, just listen to it.
"Our traditional training methods are to let students first learn principles, learn mechanical institutions, learn emergency measures, etc., and then they will explore little by little under the guidance of the coach. This process will take three months to achieve initial results; and it will take at least two years to become a real pilot; and if you want to become a real fighter pilot or a space shuttle pilot, then the time will only be longer!
This is the traditional training method, which is very inefficient. A coach can basically only lead two people at most, and three people will be too busy.
But in contrast, there is an extreme training method: that is, after the trainees roughly understand the aircraft structure and principle, they will take it directly to the sky, let them learn operations, operate, explore and learn at the same time; compared with the traditional method, this method can train qualified pilots in three months. However, the mortality rate of such method is very high. During World War II, in order to train enough pilots, this method was used, and the mortality rate in some countries was once as high as 70%.
However, during World War II, the aircraft was simple, simple to operate, and quick to get started; and now, especially our space shuttle, people who don’t understand it, are just a mess. If you want to adopt this method, not only will the casualties be high, but the damaged aircraft will not be small."
"It was mainly because of improper operation and crashing?" Dongfang Ying keenly grasped the key.
"Yes." Mu Xinghai nodded.
Dongfang Ying: "But we are now a space shuttle, and we can enter space operation. As long as we don't commit suicide, how can we crash!"
Crack!!! It was like a flash of lightning, illuminating everyone in the expert company!
Yes, this is modern society, and the extreme training method is really completely adopted. As long as you enter space, are you still afraid of crashing?
