Material Empire

"...my country's agricultural machinery system must follow three principles to catch up with international advanced technology. First, the principle of systematization. Large, medium, and small agricultural machinery should be formed to match, and the northern dryland and southern paddy field machinery should be developed simultaneously for farming, harvesting, processing, A one-stop agricultural mechanization system for transportation...;Second, the principle of cutting-edge. It is necessary to carry out scientific and technological research around the international technical level in the mid-to-late 1980s, focusing on independent research and development, supplemented by introduction...;Third...

During the Seventh Five-Year Plan period, the products that need to be researched and developed are divided into the following five series: first, tractors, including 120-horsepower crawler tractors for planting on slopes, and high-chassis 65-horsepower wheeled tractors for vegetable and fruit planting on flat lands...; Second, farming equipment, including a suspended six-row universal cultivator topdressing machine, a tractable disc harrow, and a tractable wide-row rotary tiller..."

In the large conference room of the Ministry of Agriculture, Wang Changsong, deputy director of the Agricultural Machinery Department, was eloquently introducing the "Action Plan for the Agricultural Machinery System to Catch Up with International Advanced Technology" to the representatives attending the meeting. In order for the delegates to understand the content of the plan more easily, Wang Changsong also asked his staff to carefully craft hundreds of slides, which are being placed on the curtain at one end of the conference room at any time according to the progress of his speech.

Representatives participating in the discussion included Vice Minister Cui Hongchun, leaders of several relevant departments and bureaus, officials from the Ministry of Machinery, Science and Technology Commission and other departments, and some experts in the agricultural machinery system. The most eye-catching one is Qin Hai. Most people in the venue don't know this young guy, but Cui Hongchun personally arranges this person to sit next to him, and he seems to be very favored. .

"Not bad, this plan is very good!"

After Wang Changsong finished his explanation, an expert from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences named Huang Wan'an couldn't wait to applaud, applauding at the same time: "This plan is a strategic plan, which not only reflects the trend of the international new technology revolution, but also fully Considering the technical and financial limitations of our country as a developing country, the proposed goals are scientific, forward-looking, feasible, and flexible..."

"Yeah, after seeing this plan, I also felt that it was immediately obvious. This is the correct development direction of agricultural mechanization. With this action plan, we will have pointers for our future work..." The director of a large agricultural machinery factory Zhu Detai also echoed.

"I would like to make a small addition. When I visited the Federal Republic of Germany, I learned that various large-scale agricultural machinery is widely used in their countryside. For example, the grain combine harvester they use has an operation scale of 85 hectares. The operating scale of the fertilizer machine is 270 hectares. This kind of large-scale agricultural machinery has the advantages of saving manpower and energy, and it is the future development trend. I think this report has not emphasized enough..." This is just from Officials who returned from a round trip abroad were speaking.

"..."

Everyone began to discuss with each other. Like all previous seminars of the same type, the speakers basically gave seven points for praise, two points for showing off, and one point for suggestions. These suggestions sounded very high. However, there is not much conflict with what has been said in the plan, at best it is just a change of words. Wang Changsong looked at each speaker with sincere eyes, as if sincerely expecting their insights, but in fact, he knew that these opinions had no effect on the plan at all, and everyone obeyed the rules, and no one came out to disrupt the situation.

When everyone was speaking, Cui Hongchun always had a smile on his face, and the pen in his hand wrote down something in the notebook from time to time. Sitting beside Cui Hongchun, Qin Hai took a peek and found that what Cui Hongchun wrote in his notebook was not what the speaker said, but question marks one after another.

"Professor Chen, can you say a few words too?"

When everyone's speeches came to an end, Cui Hongchun gestured to Chen Heqian, who had been silent all this time, and said.

Chen Heqian gave Qin Hai a look calmly, then coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "I am a layman when it comes to agricultural machinery. I just listened to Director Wang's introduction, and I also heard the opinions of leaders and experts. Discussion, I feel that I have learned a lot and benefited a lot.”

"Professor Chen is polite. The plan Changsong and the others made is mainly based on the opinions of the people inside our agricultural machinery system. The authorities are obsessed with it. There must be some things that we have not considered carefully. As an expert outside our industry, can Professor Chen learn from A higher altitude, can you point out some shortcomings for us?" Cui Hongchun interjected with a smile.

Chen Heqian nodded, and said: "Since Minister Cui said so, let me introduce some ideas. As a layman, I think the vision of this plan is a bit narrow, and I don't have enough grasp of the technological gap between Chinese and foreign agricultural machinery. Accurate, there are some biases in the choice of work priorities..."

Chen Heqian's words were carefully considered, and every word was used very euphemistically. Then, to Wang Changsong's ears, these words seemed to have thorns, and his ears were pierced with pain.

Nima, is this what a layman should say? Narrow field of vision, inaccurate grasp of the gap, and biased focus, doesn't this negate the entire plan? If these problems exist, what is the use of this plan?

"Professor Chen's criticism is really deafening. Unexpectedly, the plan we have spent so long to come up with has so many shortcomings, which shows that there are still big problems in our work. Professor Chen, can you Could you please explain in detail what you said just now, so that we can completely revise the plan?"

Wang Changsong spoke with a pleasant smile. His words sounded quite polite, but the subtext was extremely tough. If the meaning is translated in a more popular way, it would be like this: Chen, your mother is too embarrassing to deny all our plans, why don't you explain clearly, our plan will not work!

Of course Chen Heqian knew that his words had offended Wang Changsong to death. In fact, he said these words purely to provide cover for Qin Hai and to draw the hatred on himself. He glanced at Wang Changsong and said, "Director Wang misunderstood. I didn't say that this plan is not good, but I just put forward some opinions from my personal point of view. How about this, let me list a few opinions for my student Qin Hai to prepare. After a while, if not, let him talk about it in detail.”

"Well, then please Qin...Gong Qin, please tell us." Wang Changsong cast his eyes on Qin Hai.

Qin Hai smiled at everyone, then opened his notebook, and said, "Since Mr. Chen asked me to talk, I'll talk about it. I'm a new recruit in the field of agricultural machinery, and my knowledge and theoretical level are far behind Leaders and experts, if there is anything wrong with what I said, please forgive me."

"Where is there, Qin Gong is an expert in the Automobile Localization Office and Professor Chen's proud student, so there is nothing wrong with it. We are all listening." Wang Changsong sneered, and praised Qin Hai fiercely. Angrily. In his heart, he had another idea, that is, as long as Qin Hai said something flawed, he would launch a sharp counterattack, and he would definitely make Qin Hai speechless and make a fool of himself in public.

Qin Hai didn't care about Wang Changsong's attitude, nor did he feel stage fright at all. In his previous life, he had participated in countless seminars of a higher level than this one, and he would still speak with eloquence in front of national leaders, so he wouldn't care about the resentment of a mere deputy director.

"Leaders and experts, Director Wang has introduced the whole plan just now. I saw this plan three days ago. After reading it, I went to the reference room of the Ministry of Agriculture to check some old materials. After reading these materials, my feeling is that this plan seems familiar and almost nothing new! If we can catch up with the advanced international level according to this plan, then this goal should have been completed 10 years ago.” Qin Hai said bluntly.

As soon as this remark came out, the entire venue almost exploded. Everyone's face showed a look of astonishment, and Wang Changsong's face turned purple in an instant.

In this venue, there is one person who is engaged in agricultural machinery all year round. Who doesn't know that this plan seems familiar? But can this blame Wang Changsong for not working hard? Agricultural machinery is just such a thing, such as power machinery, farming machinery, field management machinery, harvesting machinery. Each type of machinery has its own manufacturer. When making a plan, the interests of any manufacturer should not be neglected, so it can only be like sprinkling pepper noodles, sprinkle a little on each place. Since the country proposed to implement agricultural mechanization, there have been countless "do it fast" action plans, and each time the process is the same, how can the results be different?

However, this principle cannot be debated with Qin Hai, because Qin Hai explained the truth: If such a plan is effective, why did we fail to catch up with the world's advanced level 10 years ago or even earlier? ? After this plan comes out, what confidence do we have that we can do better than in the past?

"Comrade Qin Hai, your statement is too arbitrary!" Huang Wan'an had no choice but to come out to speak for Wang Changsong, "Director Wang and the others made such a decision after several months of research and fully grasped the situation of the entire industry. A set of plans. Even if this set of plans has some similarities with other previous plans, it is normal. Work always has some inheritance. Can we completely deny the past work and come up with a completely different set of things? ?"

"Professor Huang's remarks are wrong." Qin Hai said, "I just think that the past work should be fully affirmed, so the current plan cannot be the same as the past. Otherwise, where is the foundation of our past work reflected? Since we have Standing on the shoulders of the predecessors, you should see the farther world, instead of standing still."

One more chapter before zero o'clock, today is equivalent to the third update, hahahaha...
