Chapter 422: Crucian Carp Crossing the River (Wish all the bosses good luck in the Year of the Dragon)
Nanyang, here I come!
When the ship was about to enter the port, Liang Zhenhua looked at the city in the distance and said to himself. Whether it was because of the hot weather or excitement, his palms were sweating.
At this time, all he could see was this unknown land.
Like everyone else, after passing the customs, Liang Zhenhua got on the bus that he had been waiting for for a long time - the bus sent by Yongning University to pick up freshmen.
The whole journey from Guya to Yongning was more than 800 kilometers. The bus drove on the highway for nearly 20 hours. Except for stopping at the service area to eat and take a short rest, they were almost always on the bus.
When I was tired, I took a nap in the car. However, along the way, the classmates in the car were all familiar with each other. They were all freshmen from Tangshan. In the past three years, not only more than Two hundred thousand high school students from Tangshan came to Nanyang to study at universities, and now tens of thousands of graduates are playing their roles in various industries in Nanyang.
There are also tens of thousands of university graduates who come to Nanyang to study for postgraduate studies. Compared with Tangshan, which can only offer a few hundred postgraduate degrees. Just five universities, Nanyang, Taiping, Yongning, Yongan and Kuching, can provide more than tens of thousands of postgraduate degrees. Liang Zhenhua, who graduated from Anhui University, came here to study as a graduate student.
Finally, after the car stopped in front of the university gate, this gate was too inconspicuous. Classmate Sun Zaidong looked at the gate of Yong'an University and said with disappointment.
“Zhenhua, this is Yong’an University! It doesn’t look very eye-catching.”
Standing in front of the gate of Yong'an University, Liang Zhenhua felt a mixture of emotions.
“It doesn’t matter whether you are conspicuous or not. What is important is that you can study as a graduate student.”
A boat ticket, 100 yuan of southern currency, and a suitcase are all his belongings. Now, whether you can enter this university to study as a graduate student depends on the subsequent interview - although you can come to Nanyang to study as a graduate student as long as you have a recommendation letter from a domestic university professor, you still need to pass the interview.
Of course, Liang Zhenhua also knows that if you fail to pass the postgraduate interview at Yong'an University, there are other opportunities. In addition to the five Nanyang universities, there are also ZTE, Yongding and Dongning universities that are under preparation. Those are the three Donghai universities. The three universities in the district are also recruiting graduate students.
The characteristic of Nanyang is that every province or region must have a first-class university, and the university professors are mainly Germans and Japanese. If it really doesn't work, you can find a job first. Unlike domestic college students who have difficulty finding jobs, it is easy for college students in Nanyang to find a well-paying job. In the past few years, there have been at least 50,000 to 60,000 college graduates in the country. When they came to Nanyang, some of them were in companies and some were in government offices. In short, it was not difficult to find a job.
After riding for more than ten hours, the freshmen who were picked up from Kuching Port carried their luggage one by one, got off the bus, and looked at everything around them with excited and timid eyes. Enthusiastic old students came forward one after another, asking about the departments to which the new students belonged, and then helped the juniors and juniors in the department carry their luggage and took them to their respective reporting offices to report.
Those junior sisters with outstanding looks are especially welcomed by the senior brothers. It seems that they are like this no matter what time they are. Moreover, in this era, there are not many girls in high school, and even fewer can enter Nanyang University. Although Yong'an University has 16,000 students, the ratio of boys to girls is as high as 20:1!
This is generally the case for several other universities. As soon as they saw a group of women wearing Tangshan-style cheongsam school uniforms getting out of several cars behind them, all the old students who were welcoming the new students rushed up and shouted:
"Classmates, which department are you from?" ! ”
“Classmate, the Department of Mechanical Engineering welcomes you!”
"Classmate, you must be from the Department of Architecture!"
"Classmate, are you from the Department of Physics?"
"Classmate, are you from the Department of Mathematics?"
< br>"Classmate, you must be in the law department!"
When those young girls who were new to the road were a little overwhelmed by the flaming gazes of the senior brothers, Liang Zhenhua had already met with the elders. Like most freshmen, they carried their suitcases and walked towards the buildings of their respective departments under the guidance of their senior brothers.
...
There is a pot of green radish in front of the window, with fat leaves and full of energy. There are two desks pushed together in front of the green radish. There are many books piled in the middle, and there is also a mechanical computer - although electronic computers have become common in various universities and institutions in Nanyang. However, due to the limited number, many institutions still use mechanical computers for simple calculations.
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly, making the pothos become more and more green.
Feng Qingyun arrived at the office, pulled out his chair, sat down, and after his habitual coughing twice, he opened the drawings in front of him and continued to work.
He just graduated from graduate school last year and is a new rolling stock engineer from the Nanyang Railway Research Institute.
This job seems a bit idle - there are only more than a thousand kilometers of railways in Nanyang, only Chang'an and Kuching are connected by railways, and there are no railways at all in the east and south.
Although the railway company's long-term plan will build a ring-island railway, it is just a plan. Nanyang does not seem to have much dependence on railways - the cities dominated by Chang'an, Kuching, Taiping, Yong'an and Yongning are not Being close to the sea means being close to a river. Compared with rail transportation, shipping is more convenient and cheaper. It just takes a little more time.
Because of this, Nanyang does not have much demand for railways, which also makes Feng Qingyun's work a bit... light.
In fact, Nanyang is not idle. Although Nanyang does not have many railways, it does have its own locomotive company. The factory brought from Japan now mainly produces electric locomotives and railway accessories for its own use. The market is also mainly exported. , after all, Southeast Asia, India and even Tangshan need a lot of railway equipment.
As a young man, Feng Qingyun had his own ideas, for example, about railways.
“The future of railways in Nanyang should be mainly passenger transport.”
Holding a teacup, Feng Qingyun once again chatted with Erich about his idea.
“After all, sea transportation has met almost all freight needs. As for short-distance freight, cars are basically the main ones. However, there is a demand for passenger transportation between cities. Ship transportation takes too long, and cars …Not every household has a car.”
Although in Feng Qingyun’s imagination, every household in Nanyang will have a car in the future, railway transportation is still needed.
In fact, it is indeed necessary. After all, the five major cities in Borneo not only need highways, but also need to be connected by railways to form a whole.
“So?”
As the company’s chief engineer, Ezel looked at the young man in front of him and asked.
"Speed! If we want to develop railway passenger transport, we must put speed first!"
Putting down the teacup, Feng Qingyun unfolded a map and said.
"Borneo is basically dominated by the five major cities of Chang'an, Kuching, Taiping, Yong'an and Yongning. The shortest distance between cities is close to 700 kilometers. If you drive a car, it takes 10 hours. As for air transportation, the cost of air transportation is very high. High, in this case, the advantages of trains are reflected, but traditional trains cannot, because their speed is very slow. If we only consider passenger transportation, what we need is a train with a speed of more than 15 0, or even 200 kilometers of trains. In this way, no matter whether it is traveling to any city, it will take no more than 7 hours at most. High-speed trains will not only facilitate people's travel, but also from a commercial perspective, it is more conducive to business between cities. Going back and forth..."
When Feng Qingyun was explaining the advantages of high-speed railway, Ezell did not interrupt him. When he looked at him, his eyes were full of encouragement. He supported his idea. After Feng Qingyun finished speaking, an encouraging smile appeared on Ezer's face. Said,
“This is a very good idea. Maybe you can prepare a detailed report. I think the railway company will be very interested. However, you can prepare a speech first. What do you think of the manuscript and the speech at the institute’s annual meeting?”
The chief designer’s words stunned him for a moment. When giving a speech at the annual meeting, Feng Qingyun didn’t even know what to say?
“What’s wrong?”
Feng Qingyun's reaction made Ezel say with a smile.
“You are just giving a speech, prepare it well. After all, if you have a good idea, you must let everyone know about it. There will be many reporters attending, and your idea will definitely be heard. Arouse everyone's interest, so prepare well."
