Chapter 1342: 641
"This is just too wasteful because there will definitely be a lot of related needs in the future, not only for Yixing but also for Space Information Technology companies, which will need a lot of related talent,"
"I estimate that the future demand for such talent will grow larger and larger, with the very least being calculated in the ’tens of thousands’."
"For instance, the space linkage devices that are now on sale have many minor technical issues, which require the expertise of skilled professionals to solve, not for PhD students who do research to go and fix equipment at someone’s place."
"Therefore, the devices sold by Space Information Technology companies can only be repaired if sent back to the factory."
In this regard, Space Information Technology companies have also sought solutions. They have set up internal training institutions and cultivated some relevant talent, but the caliber of Space Information Technology companies is relatively high, with training participants starting at least with master’s degrees. Also perhaps because of some confidentiality issues, they cannot massively recruit individuals from society for training.
Yixing Company does not have this problem. As long as it doesn’t involve theoretical content, simple tasks can be handed over to skilled workers.
Zhao Yi’s successive explanations made everyone understand.
Deputy Mayor Li listened with bright eyes, with the most noteworthy point being, ’Yixing needs to recruit more than two hundred people.’
This meant providing two hundred technical job positions.
Since Space Link Technology is of a confidential nature, external talents can hardly be recruited, and there would definitely be targeted training instead.
Where would the trainees come from?
Locals would definitely be the priority!
Liu Zhibei also realized this and immediately said, "Academician Zhao, as long as you have requirements and think our university is up to the task, we will definitely cooperate unconditionally!" freeweɓnovel.cѳm
He continued, "The university would offer relevant majors. I can guarantee full support, but the issue is with textbooks and teaching staff—"
He dared not promise that...
Finding talent familiar with space linkage technology and willing to participate in teaching at Zhengyang University was incredibly difficult.
Liu Zhibei went on, "Moreover, opening new majors requires assessment. Even after everything is ready and the process begins, it will take a year, and we probably won’t be able to apply until next September because it’s a brand new discipline, starting with a diploma program."
"That’s not an issue,"
Zhao Yi said, "Whatever level of education, it’s all fine. Additionally, don’t worry about teaching personnel. Our company can send professionals as teaching staff, and rest assured, they will definitely be the best teachers."
"For now, we plan to recruit personnel from society and then provide corresponding training, but one drawback is that without systematic cultivation, they will certainly encounter many problems in their work."
"So, my hope is that after recruiting these people, when the relevant majors are established next year, they could attend the university part-time and join an accelerated program for quick, systematic learning."
Liu Zhibei nodded continuously as he listened, "That’s no problem. But Academician Zhao, the people you plan to recruit now, could you consider our university’s graduates?"
"Graduates?"
"Yes, it’s already April, and graduation season is upon us soon. Since we’re recruiting talent, could we give priority consideration to Zhengyang University, especially to new graduates?" he said with hope.
"This—"
Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment, "But would these graduates be willing to work in the company and then continue part-time study at the university next year?"
"Rest assured, they would definitely be willing!"
Liu Zhibei assured him with a slap on his chest and a smile, "To join Yixing, let alone entering an accelerated class, even if it means studying an extra three or four years, there would certainly be many who are willing."

After everything was settled, Zhao Yi immediately convened an internal company meeting, discussing the tuning of the light energy reception converters.
Then he nominated several staff members involved in the work to each draft a ’training and learning plan,’ "Everyone prepare a plan. What technologies need to be mastered, what knowledge needs to be understood, and so on. Any suggestions now are welcome."
Shortly, everyone began to voice their ideas freely.
The most frequently mentioned topic in the meeting was ’composite function analysis’ since it involved key analysis, and complex function analysis was definitely required. In the event of special circumstances during tuning, re-analysis and comparison could also be carried out to verify the accuracy of the keys.
Additionally, knowledge of photon energy conversion was needed.
When faced with tricky problems, one could then identify the issue by examining the state of the light beams at the quickest speed possible.
Another topic was the theoretical principles of solar energy generation.
When testing the overall operation of optical reception converters, internal issues could arise, necessitating some understanding of solar technology theory.
All the above were directly ’rejected’ by Zhao Yi.
He smiled wryly and said, "Let’s not talk about these complex topics. We’re now cultivating front-line skilled talent, not theoretical experts or scientific researchers."
"For front-line skilled workers, mastering the basic operating ability is enough. If they really encounter unsolvable problems, they can look to higher levels or to you for solutions."
"That’s true!"
"Yes!"
"If it’s just basic operations, indeed, no theoretical knowledge is required."
"Just electronic operations, too simple!"
The discussion continued with everyone speaking their minds, focusing on the simpler aspects.
At the end of the meeting, a training program that integrated several aspects was decided upon.
Firstly, key decryption.
Next was the operation of electronic system equipment.
Other topics included simple correction methods for data errors, strategies for dealing with multiple errors, and a summary of overall troubleshooting issues.
Etcetera.
Combining these operational basics and experiential issues could create a training syllabus.
After the meeting,
Zhao Yi summarized the conference and combined several points, corresponding to a selection of basic theoretical books—
"Basic Cryptography"
"Electronic and Circuit Systems"
"Basic Principles of Machinery"
"Numerical Control Technology"
These books could serve as the specialized courses for the ’Space Link Technology’ major.
If other needs arose later on, a few more courses could be added to round it out.

Every university places great importance on the employment rate of their graduates, as well as the quality of their employment.
Zhengyang University is no different.
It’s often difficult for ordinary universities to invite large technology companies to recruit on campus, and most graduates from ordinary institutions must find their own way, with few managing to enter companies through campus recruitment.
Now, having established a collaboration with Yixing Unlimited Power Company for talent training, Liu Zhibei also secured one hundred job opportunities for the school.
He immediately instructed the Academic Affairs Office to issue a notice, announcing that engineering graduates from the university could write a report to apply for a position at Yixing Unlimited Power Company.
The notice also explained the nature of the work, which involved technical vocational tasks, and that in September of the following year, they would enter an intensive course for systematic learning.
After the announcement was made, it quickly dominated the campus forum within a short time.
A great number of students left comments, "This has to be a joke, right? Working at Yixing? Our school? And one hundred spots?"
"It says technical vocational work, does that mean repairing cars?"
"But those are Unlimited Power Automobiles, transferring energy from the surface of the sun to the car, repairing such cars seems so prestigious!"
"Training class next year? What’s the big deal!"
"However, the requirements must be high, right? It’s Yixing!"
"Guys, bye, I’m going to write my application!"
"Me too!"
"Count me in!"
A large group of students expressed their intentions to write application reports.
The next day, the school’s respective faculty received more than three hundred application reports, and the number was still increasing.
Zhengyang University has a significant size, with over two thousand graduating students, with engineering majors making up the majority, over one thousand five hundred students.
Out of a total of more than one thousand five hundred graduates, more than three hundred applications were submitted in one day, showing just how enthusiastic the students were about working at Yixing.
Not only students from vocational majors applied but also many from undergraduate courses, including those from key disciplines, directly made job applications.
This demonstrates how attractive Yixing is.
It was as if the assembly line work at a tobacco company could attract postgraduate applicants—Yixing Company’s prestige was evident, and its allure for graduates was immense.
Some graduates who had jobs lined up wanted to try their luck at joining Yixing, not to mention the majority who had to find their own employment or even faced unemployment upon graduation.
This opportunity was too rare to miss!
