Free Web NovelChapter 1341: Chapter 641 This opportunity is too rare!
Zhao Yi invited Deputy Mayor Li and Vice President Liu Zhibei from Zhengyang University, but there were several others who followed, forming a bustling crowd that made Yixing Unlimited Power Company come alive.
After exchanging pleasantries upon meeting, Zhao Yi led the group on a tour of the company.
They visited the design department, R&D department, sales department, and finally the assembly workshop.
The assembly workshop was a large room, but without heavy machinery like lathes, only some electronic control equipment and various testing instruments. Boxes were piled high against the walls, containing the photonic energy receivers and converters.
The photonic energy receivers and converters stacked in the workshop now exceeded a thousand units, all ready for calibration.
Zhao Yi brought the group into the workshop and spoke of the reason for the invitation, "Our current calibration work is severely understaffed."
"Not just now, but in the future, we also lack a large number of relevant talents. So, I hope universities can help us train talents in this field." freёwebnovel.com
Deputy Mayor Li was taken aback and asked, "I’ve done some research on your equipment, this is ordered from Space Information Technology Company, right? It’s a spatial energy transmission device, isn’t it?"
Zhao Yi nodded, "That’s right."
Deputy Mayor Li did not continue, but instead looked at Liu Zhibei with a peculiar gaze.
Liu Zhibei was silent for a while before he awkwardly said, "Actually, Academician Zhao, you must also know our university’s capabilities; this kind of talent requires at least a Ph.D. degree, right? The number of doctoral graduates in engineering we train every year is very limited."
He expressed himself tactfully.
Zhengyang University was just an ordinary institution of higher learning, not to mention nationally, it could barely rank within the top ten in Nanjiang Province.
The university had many undergraduate majors, but most of them were general ones, with only the computer-related majors being key undergraduate programs.
In addition, the university had many departments and majors that were still at the associate degree level, capable of training students for those qualifications.
Liu Zhibei was well aware of the caliber of Yixing Company; even their least educated staff would probably be Ph.D. graduates from four top universities, perhaps even from top international universities.
There is a significant difference between Ph.D.s; those trained in ordinary institutions usually have a slightly lower level of capability.
Zhao Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "President Liu, you misunderstood, this job doesn’t require a high degree, it just needs skilled professionals, and using highly professional R&D talents for this work would really be a waste."
"Highly educated talents can fully assume higher positions."
"We currently have a large gap in skilled labor for this job, roughly estimated to need more than two hundred people."
"If they’re highly educated, they can later be promoted to supervisor or leadership positions."
After clarifying the academic and capability requirements, Zhao Yi simply took the group to a disassembled photonic energy receiver and converter.
The photonic energy receiver and converter was open, allowing a clear view of the electronic panel inside.
The equipment panel was electrified, displaying many illuminated optical pathways.
Zhao Yi pointed to the signal pathway nodes and explained, "This job is just about micro-adjusting the direction of these micro beams on the nodes; it requires great finesse, and the specific adjustments are based on the decryption of a key."
"Thus, the skilled talents we need must understand the key’s meaning and manipulate the electronic control system for precise adjustments."
"Look, each device panel has numerous tiny light beam nodes, and most of these nodes require adjustment."
"The efficiency of this job is very low; on average, each person can only calibrate three to five devices per day. In special cases, maybe only one or two." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"These special cases happen occasionally when several keys’ results and changed parameters reveal discrepancies, resulting in failure to establish the transmission channel. Then a range of related value adjustments needs to be made to several neighboring figures."
"Also, sometimes, after adjustment, everything seems normal but the channel can’t be established, which might be due to a power issue in the internal micro beams or simply because they’re broken. Then we need to use instruments to test the node’s performance."
"All these situations can occur. The work is not difficult; it’s just very troublesome."
This work is actually quite straightforward, simply requiring technical skill without too much theoretical knowledge, unless there is a significant problem.
Zhao Yi gave an analogy in the end, "It’s like repairing a computer; we don’t need to know how a computer is made, just understand its basic structure and common malfunctioning issues, and have the relevant testing equipment to fix it."
"Of course, if the hardware is damaged, it can only be replaced."
This explanation made everyone understand.
Although the photonic energy receiver and converter may appear complex, it’s like a personal computer—once understood, there’s nothing daunting about it.
Besides, there is no need to manufacture computers, so the repair requirements are relatively simple.
Zhao Yi continued, "Spatial Connection Technology is an entirely new field, and there are currently not many professionals in the country; many tasks need to be handled by R&D talents."
