Chapter 31 Glory and Dreams
After walking two steps, Chu Ge saw the golden signboard of his alma mater. At first glance, he looked flying and phoenix dancing, with extraordinary momentum, comparable to several regular universities in the city.
Unfortunately, the few signs next to me, "Excavator technology is fast in three months" and "Learn from a chef, come to the 'vocational school' and have a worry-free future" have deeply betrayed the college's foundation - these are short-term training classes that have insufficient students and cannot make ends meet, and have to start.
Speaking of which, engineering machinery operation is actually a particularly promising major.
In the "Cause Era" that lasted for a hundred years, human civilization has been fighting against various natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc. It is necessary to protect cities with tall buildings under the dual rage of super earthquakes and violent hurricanes. Construction machinery is the well-deserved Great Wall of Steel.
In the late period of the disaster era and the current Nirvana era, magnificent reconstruction and revival began. A new, more spectacular and brilliant super city was built between the ruins of the city and even the mountains and seas, and it was even more inseparable from various magnificent and highly technical engineering machinery.
Therefore, even though most of the technology of human civilization has stagnated or even regressed in the disaster era, various equipment and technologies in the field of engineering machinery have made rapid progress and are changing with each passing day.
In game terms, in the past 100 years, all the "technological points" of human civilization have been invested in the indispensable military field, but also in the field of engineering machinery.
Compared with the early 21st century, modern engineering machinery is not only one or two hundred years ahead, but also an absolute "future technology".
Even the most basic and widely used excavators are no longer simple joysticks, tracks, big arms, forearms and buckets. Instead, they integrate impact drills, oscillating teeth, intelligent travel systems, and even high-circular oscillators and neural interaction operating systems. They are equipped with a comprehensive operating platform with a variety of future technologies. A modern excavator can match the original ten. Only by controlling such a "smart" and "strong" steel monster can human civilization fight natural disasters and protect the earth.
Under such a trend, not only a large number of talents have been invested in the design, development and production of engineering machinery, making "mechanical design, mechanical transformation, and mechanical operation" a popular major that everyone flocks to. Major universities and social forces have also continued to invest and opened a large number of relevant departments, research centers and training classes. The income, status and value of elite designers and ace veteran drivers is by no means inferior to the "golden collar class" more than a hundred years ago.
The engineering machinery operation major of Higher Vocational and Technical College was also glorious for a while.
However, with the design and operation of construction machinery, it continues to develop towards "modularization" and "fool-like", the mechanical professional here seems a bit embarrassing.
If it is just a simple operation, it is not difficult to learn common engineering machinery such as excavators. Thanks to the development of various fully automatic operating systems and "fool mode", you can learn it in just a few buttons and a few joysticks in a short-distance training class for two or three months - without even special training, you can ask your relatives to find a master to take care of you on the construction site, and you can become proficient after a few months.
In the words of the circle, it is: "There are more people who can drive excavators these days than those who can ride bicycles."
In terms of flexibility, two-year higher vocational schools obviously cannot compare with most short-term training classes.
If you work hard to get more professional and meticulous, even the most basic excavator operation has many places worth studying, including dangerous sites, high altitudes, tunnels and caves, high-intensity continuous operations in natural disasters and even war environments, as well as special work surfaces for excavators, maintenance of excavators, strengthening transformations and even brand new designs, and designing them into mechanics, materials science, energy science... The knowledge in them has become more and more extensive and cannot be studied in a lifetime.
In the direction of "high-end and advanced", vocational schools are far from being the opponent of four-year universities and research centers. Lingshan City has two very good comprehensive universities, Lingshan University and Lingshan Institute of Technology, and the mechanical department are all well-known golden signs. That is where the serious training of mechanics, engineers, designers and top operators is cultivated.
The only benefit of the vocational school is probably only a long history. It was founded in the late stage of the "Doom Earthquake". Over the past few decades, a large number of scrap copper and iron that are not available elsewhere - almost scrapped antique engineering machinery. As long as students are willing to learn it, they can learn the operating skills of most of the engineering machinery on the market. Even if they are not proficient, they can occupy the word "wide" and can barely be regarded as "universal oil". They can make a living anywhere.
For Chu Ge, there is another small benefit - in order to make money, he works part-time and often helps teachers repair those old antique machines, and learns repair skills that are easy to make do.
In short, Chu Ge and his class are about to graduate, and they learn the same skills as they should learn. The students don’t like to study very much. Now they skip classes all day long, playing games and working as illegal workers. Not many people are willing to come back to listen to theoretical classes like heavenly books.
The explosive news of "Revival of Spirit" two days ago caused a shocking tide among the classmates. Chu Ge glanced at the class group a few times last night and found that most of the students' attitude was: "Revival of Spirit, the world is in chaos, and you can learn some yarn, hurry up and go out HIGH!"
Of course, these guys are all excuses. Even if there is no chaos in the world, they will not see them go to school well.
The first class on Monday was a practical exercise by "Yan Tieshou". This is also the only class that Chu Ge likes. If it is a boring theoretical class, he might be ready to go.
Bypassing the No. 1 teaching building, Chu Ge came to a training ground with seven or eight football fields.
Coming towards us is a row of golden statues - all construction machinery damaged in the war against natural disasters in the past century, which has been dragged back and painted with golden paint, serving as an indelible monument.
Chu Ge's heart was originally full of distracting thoughts. When he saw these statues of construction machinery, somehow his heart suddenly became calm, and his mind was filled with tragic and generous roar.
"'Camel' super giant twenty-eight-wheel load truck, produced by Bayi Heavy Industry, the most classic all-terrain off-road load truck. In the 19th year of the disaster era, in the battle against the "Nulongjiang Flood Eruption", a total of 100 soldiers drove a hundred "Camels", carrying nearly one million tons of rock and sand, and rushed into the Nulongjiang River straight and blocked the dam that was about to collapse. They waited until the last moment to jump off the vehicle, sacrificed 67 people, but saved dozens of cities and tens of millions of people in the lower reaches of Nulongjiang River!
"The multi-functional excavator of the 'Iron Bull Generation' performed outstandingly in the 'Fuji Earthquake'. Countless of our soldiers, engineering troops soldiers and fire rescue volunteers were driving the 'Iron Bull Generation', carrying the red flag, forming a steel torrent, sweeping across the East and South China Seas, sprinkling our glory and hope from Hokkiah to Ryukyu, from Annan to Siam, and to Java and Guinea!
"The 'Taotie' rock crushing and excavation machine, whether it is the battle to block the Yellowstone Volcano or the battle to clear the Great Lakes, and the subsequent series of battles to rebuild the eastern Pacific Ocean, have performed well, saving countless people, making them convinced and grateful for the power from the East.
"It is precisely relying on countless powerful engineering machinery such as 'camels, iron cows, and Taotie', and the unremitting efforts of the engineering warrior - 'steel knight', that after five hundred years, the hegemony of this planet has once again leaned towards the East!"
Chu Ge felt deeply moved.
In the calm early 21st century, operating construction machinery was not valued, and "excavator" was often joked about, which was a very vulgar job.
But today, with many disasters and great ambitions, "excavator" has long become a symbol. It represents all engineering machinery and symbolizes the determination, will and power of human beings to survive, constantly fight and build their home and civilization.
When natural disasters strike, the excavator is the last city wall.
After the natural disaster, excavators are the hope of revival.
No matter how devastated the home is, no matter how crazy the natural disasters and man-made disasters are, as long as there is an excavator that can rumbling, human civilization will never forget the glory of the past and the dreams of the future!
Chu Ge took a deep breath, walked through these fragmented, seriously distorted statues that almost turned into scrap copper and iron, but still shining with light, and walked into the training ground.
