Chapter 2803
Fushan Copper Mine is trying to vigorously promote mechanized production operations, which means greater economic investment and a rise in production costs in the short term. However, from a long-term development perspective, promoting the industrialization process in the form of industrial technology upgrades will Of course, this is something the Executive Committee would like to see happen.
Bai Kesi affirmed Fushan Copper Mine's approach, but at the same time he was worried about the local training capacity of professional and technical personnel: "If the Ministry of Industry provides mining machinery and equipment to the northern region as much as you expect, then the required There will also be a corresponding increase in professional and technical personnel, most of which must be solved by the Northern Region. Can you do it? ”
Chen Yixin responded: "We currently have vocational colleges in Fushan County and Jinzhou, which are specially used to train industrial technical talents. About one to two hundred technicians can be trained every year to operate and maintain various equipment. Although their skills may not be as good as The products produced by Sanya Institute of Technology are so good, but they can basically adapt to ordinary production requirements.”
Bai Kesi nodded and said: "I have read reports about these two vocational colleges before. If I remember correctly, these two colleges have not been open for too long."
Chen Yixin said: "Actually, the school has been planned for a long time. The main reason is that there are not enough teachers, so it was delayed until a few years ago. Most of the capable technicians are from the south. It is not difficult to transfer to the northern region. But not many people were willing to put down roots and settle down. Later, more and more people came back after being sent to the south for further study, and the conditions we offered became better and better, so this problem was solved. ”
The problem mentioned by Chen Yixin is very realistic. Although the northern region is rich in natural resources, it seriously lacks advanced production equipment and technical personnel compared to the south.
Technical personnel dispatched from Hainan Island by the Executive Committee are often not accustomed to the climate after arriving in the north, which affects work efficiency and also makes these technical personnel less willing to stay and work in the north for a long time. The assignment period is often three years. As soon as it was over, I went back to the south.
In the early days, the Northern Region could only train technical personnel by sending people to study abroad in Sanya. The results were slow and expensive, but due to objective conditions, it could only do this.
It was not until the Northern Region's continued investment in mining development and technical personnel training began to generate benefits that the establishment of its own vocational training institutions entered the implementation stage.
At this time, Bai Letong, accompanied by Chen Pingliao and other local officials, visited the vocational college that Chen Yixin mentioned to Bai Kesi.
Although Chen Pingliao holds a military position, he has a special status, and accompanying Bai Letong on the tour is considered the courtesy that a host should have.
This college is located outside the old county town of Fushan County. It covers an area of more than 100 acres and is surrounded by green trees and red walls. It looks elegant.
When he got closer, Bai Letong saw the plaque on the gate read "Northern No. 1 Vocational and Technical College", and the inscription was inscribed by Chen Yixin. Although the words were not very beautiful, the iron hooks and silver inscriptions were quite impressive, which was similar to Chen Yixin's. consistent with the image of senior generals.
Chen Pingliao took the initiative to introduce: "This college was founded by my father, and the preparation time was ten years. Therefore, after the college was completed, my father also personally served as the honorary dean of the college, ensuring to the greatest extent the necessary resources for running the college. Various resources.”
Bai Letong praised: "My uncle really has a far-sighted vision. As the saying goes, success lies in the present and benefits will lie in the future."
Entering the college, you will see an avenue paved with green bricks leading from the gate to the center of the college. On the other side of the road is a Haihan-style building with simple lines, which should be the teaching building of the college.
However, what is different from ordinary academies is that there is no sound of reading loudly in the academy. Instead, there are various metal tapping sounds coming from everywhere. Chen Pingliao introduced: “The college currently offers exploration, mining, smelting, metal processing, mechanical equipment and other majors. The relevant courses emphasize practical operation skills, so except for the teaching building in front of the college, other places are basically There are all kinds of internship workshops, so it will inevitably be quite noisy during the teaching period.”
Bai Letong smiled and said: "That's how it should be."
The direction of this college is very clear, which is to cultivate professional talents for the upstream and downstream industries related to mining in the northern region. Therefore, there are not many majors in the college, and almost all of them focus on mining. During the internship process, knocking is indispensable, and this is the noise they hear at this time.
Then Bai Letong followed Chen Pingliao to visit the college's teaching building. This four-story building has more than 20 large and small classrooms. In addition, the faculty and staff offices of the college are also concentrated here. It can be regarded as the core area of the entire college.
There were several classes in class at this time, and Bai Letong randomly chose a classroom, where a middle-aged master was teaching the students about the analysis of ores.
The desk in front of him was filled with dozens of ore specimens. As he spoke, he picked up two pieces at random and showed them to the students: "The piece on my left hand is a local ore, and the piece on my right hand is produced by the Shilu Mine in Hainan Island. Although their appearance is obviously different, they are actually copper ores. ”
He put down these two pieces of ore, then picked up the other two pieces of ore from the table and said, "You can see that the appearance of these two pieces of ore is also different, one is red and the other is green, the red one is cuprite, and the green one is malachite. , but they are also copper ores. Why are there so many forms? This is because copper often coexists with other substances in nature, and there are many types of them. ”
The Master coughed dryly and said: "Speaking of which, I have some bad news to tell you. According to the existing data, there are more than two hundred kinds of copper-containing minerals. Even professionals engaged in research in this field have to distinguish these ores. It’s not easy either.”
Amidst the lamentations of the students, he continued to explain: "But I have another good news, that is, you don't need to remember so many types of ores, as long as you can distinguish the six or seven most common types of copper ores, and They are all laid out before your eyes. You should have them memorized by the end of today's lesson."
The students suddenly felt that the pressure was greatly reduced, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Everyone's attention is focused on what the master will explain next, hoping to quickly master this knowledge point.
Bai Letong listened to the class for a while, then silently left the classroom, walked outside and said to Chen Pingliao: "This master's lecture is quite interesting, and there is quite a lot of information. Not bad, not bad."
Chen Pingliao said: "This Master Ji studied under Master Tian Ye Youtian in his early years. He traveled all over the world with Master Tian and participated in the preparation process of Fushan Copper Mine. He has extensive knowledge and is one of the gold medal lecturers of this college. ”
Bai Letong nodded and said: "The teacher is from a famous family, so he really has two brushes."
