The rejuvenation of a great nation: from educated youth to national treasure scientist

Yao Zhenhan watched Wang Haoran looking through the documents on the computer and felt a little nervous.

After Wang Haoran finished reading, he smiled and asked: "Comrade Haoran, if you think there are any shortcomings in our work, you can point them out to us and we will do our best to revise it according to your opinions."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "You have done a very good job. I think your design does not need to be changed at all. Just keep going."

Only then did Yao Zhenhan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you Comrade Haoran for your encouragement."

"Our design will be almost complete in a little while."

“I’m wondering, should we also take the initiative to integrate with other supporting units?”

Longguo Ship Design Institute is currently only designing the hull.

Things like gas turbines, shipborne weapons, radars, etc. are all handled by other units.

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "It would be nice to combine them."

"But generally speaking, as long as there's enough space for other equipment, there won't be any problems."

Yao Zhenhan asked: "What is the progress of other units now?"

Wang Haoran said: "The design progress of other supporting units is also very good. Longguo Aero Engine has basically completed the process design drawings of the gas turbine."

"And the design work for the missile and radar has been completed."

"Even the special steel materials needed to manufacture 052 have been basically determined."

"The main reason is that our previous industrial accumulation is almost sufficient, so when we take action, the speed will be much faster."

Yao Zhenhan rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "It's mainly because you are the one coordinating and overseeing this project, so the speed is so fast!"

"So, by the beginning of next spring, we can start construction?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Now the Magic City Shipyard is accelerating the construction and renovation of the destroyer construction dock."

"In fact, there is a shipyard in the Magic City that is large enough to build a Type 052 destroyer. But it still needs some renovation."

"My vision is to start construction of the first Type 2 destroyer in mid-February next year."

"The first ship will be completed within six months. If the warship built and equipped is very good and there is no major need for improvement, then we will immediately start building four 4 ships at once!"

"Well! After you finish the 052 destroyer, you can start designing the aircraft carrier."

"The aircraft carrier is the highlight."

Yao Zhenhan was very excited after hearing this.

Because, generation after generation of Longguo shipbuilding people have been looking forward to designing and building a completely domestically-made aircraft carrier!
If an aircraft carrier can be designed under the leadership of Yao Zhenhan, then in the future he, Yao Zhenhan, may be called the father of aircraft carrier of Dragon Country.

Oh no, perhaps to be more precise, he and Wang Haoran are called the father of aircraft carriers!

That will go down in history!

Yao Zhenhan became extremely excited just thinking about it.

"Comrade Haoran, thank you! Without you, we probably wouldn't have the opportunity to start building our own aircraft carrier so soon."

Wang Haoran smiled and said, "I feel a sense of urgency in my heart."

"If we don't speed up and seize the strategic period, we may be in big trouble in the future."

Actually, Wang Haoran thought about it and believed that the crisis in his previous life would not happen again in this life.

After all, squids can no longer lead the third scientific revolution.

Now, Longguo is in the absolute first echelon in the field of electronic technology.

No country can compare with the Dragon Kingdom.

As long as the squids are not allowed to lead the two revolutions in the information age, their economic strength will never be able to expand as much as it did in the previous life, from the 20s to the 90s.

This world still has to rely on scientific and technological strength and industrial strength to speak.

When squids fail to maintain their lead in science and technology and industry, their hegemony will be shaken.

In fact, they are now strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was already December 1982, 12.

The year 1982 was basically coming to an end.

Wang Haoran had been traveling outside for several months for the five-year shipbuilding plan, and he finally returned home that evening.

He rang the doorbell and it was his eldest son Wang Xinghai who came to open the door for him.

Wang Xinghai is now 4 years old and he is taller than other children.

He is now over 1.2 meters tall.

He is almost a head taller than ordinary children.

Wang Xinghai looked up at Wang Haoran. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said hello quickly: "Hello, Dad! I'll get you some slippers."

Wang Haoran entered the house and closed the door.

Wang Xinghai had already taken out slippers for him to change into.

Wang Haoran patted his son's head and said, "Thank you, Xinghai. What have you been doing at home recently?"

Wang Xinghai said: "My grandma just took me to read books and study."

“I can now recognize and write more than 1000 characters!”

Wang Haoran was very surprised.

Because he was not so powerful in his previous life.

Knowing more than a thousand words at the age of 4?

This is definitely a child prodigy.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Chinese seemed to particularly admire child prodigies.

The first junior class of Longke University began to accept students in 1978.

To date, various news about child prodigies have appeared in the media one after another.

Lin Yaling came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "Xinghai can read fairy tales now."

"Besides, he thinks fairy tales are too simple, so he finds his own books on the bookshelf in your study."

Wang Haoran hurriedly said, "It's all because of your good training."

Lin Yaling waved her hand and said, "That's really not the case."

"Xinghai is a child who is just like you, extremely smart."

"I'm wondering whether I should start teaching him elementary and middle school knowledge systematically now."

However, Wang Haoran doesn't want his son to be constrained by studying too early.

At the age of 4, it would be too cruel to ask a child to do various homework every day.

We should still give our children a carefree childhood.

Wang Haoran said, "Mom, there's no need to teach him deliberately. Just let him be who he is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xinghai next to him became unhappy.

He said: "Dad, life is short, only about 30,000 days at most. We can't waste time casually, we still have to seize every opportunity to study."

"I hope I can become a great scientist like you in the future."

Wang Haoran was stunned.

This, is this still a child who is a little over 4 years old?
His little brain actually started to consider life and death?
"Huh? Kid, where did you get this idea from?" Lin Yaling was also surprised.

A 4-year-old child should not have such depth of thought.

Wang Xinghai was a little embarrassed. He said, "Oh, I learned it myself from a book."

Wang Haoran was naturally also very surprised.

He pulled Wang Xinghai to sit on the sofa and said with a smile: "Xinghai, why don't you play games like other children? Reading is a good thing."

"But I think it's not a good idea to read books that you shouldn't read now."

Wang Xinghai said with a bit of disdain: "Those games are too childish. I think it is an insult to my intelligence."

"It's better to read books. Reading books broadens my horizons and allows me to think more deeply."

Wang Haoran shook his head.

This child, isn't this a little too precocious?

Lin Yaling smiled and said, "Just let the child do whatever he likes! This is actually a way to liberate his nature."

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "Mom, you are right."

"But I just think that children should have fun before they go to elementary school."

Wang Xinghai said: "Dad, some people like to play and think that playing is fun and relaxing. But for people like me, playing is meaningless. Reading is more fun."

Wang Haoran: “…”

A 4-year-old child actually started to call his father "Dad" with a single word, which shows that his thinking has begun to mature. Generally speaking, many children in cities will gradually change from calling their father with a double word to a single word until they graduate from elementary school.

Just as Wang Haoran was talking to his eldest son, the key outside the door made a sound, the door was opened, and Xiao Lijuan walked in quickly.

She was holding two-year-old Wang Xingchen in her arms, and the nanny behind her was carrying the purchased vegetables.

"Dad, Daddy!"

When Wang Xingchen saw Wang Haoran standing up from the sofa, he shouted excitedly.

Wang Haoran walked over with a smile and wanted to take his son from his wife's arms.

Wang Xingchen turned his body again, avoided Wang Haoran's hand, buried his little head in his mother's arms and giggled.

Xiao Lijuan smiled and encouraged Xiao Xingchen: "Aren't you always talking about missing your dad?"

"How come you really saw it, but you don't want to let dad hold it?"

Wang Xingchen then turned his head and looked at Wang Haoran carefully.

The child looked serious.

At this moment, Wang Haoran felt both loving and a little guilty.

I have been busy with work and sometimes I don't go home for a month or two. I feel a little guilty towards my son and wife.

"Chenchen, can you let daddy hug you?" Wang Haoran said with a smile.

Wang Xingchen shook his head timidly: "No, I'm going to go play with my brother."

Xiao Lijuan put Wang Xingchen on the ground, and the little guy trotted over to his brother.

While running, he looked back at Wang Haoran, and his body hit the corner of the sofa, causing him to stagger.

Lin Yaling quickly held him up and said, "Kid, slow down."

Xiao Lijuan smiled and glanced at Wang Haoran and said, "The child may feel a little strange about you, but maybe it will be fine after he gets familiar with you."

Wang Haoran nodded, took her hand and said, "Lijuan, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Lijuan shook her head and said, "It's not hard. You are doing a big thing. I am here with you. Don't worry about anything. Just devote yourself to the work."

"By the way, Haoran, there is something I must tell you."

Wang Haoran asked: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Lijuan said: "Someone is trying to poach our technical staff."

"Several technical backbones have reported this situation to me."

"They said they received phone calls from strangers asking them if they would consider living and working abroad."

"If they are willing to go, their income will increase by at least 10 times."

"Moreover, they also gave away houses and women."

"In fact, I also received such a call. The other party was a woman, and she told me that she wanted to recommend me an important job opportunity."

"I talked to her for a while."

"The other party offered a lot of favorable conditions."

"I asked her where she was, and the woman told me she was in Hong Kong Island."

"She also gave me an address and asked me to go to Hong Kong Island to find her first."

Wang Haoran frowned.

Calling to poach people is not uncommon in later generations.

The person who makes the call is called a headhunter.

Those who poach employees usually use high salaries to lure them in.

But it’s only 82 years now!
There is no such thing as a headhunting company in Longguo.

Today, the vast majority of companies in Longguo are state-owned enterprises.

However, although it is a state-owned enterprise, it adopts market mechanisms.

The vast majority of employees no longer have a secure job and need to face the pressure of competition.

After listening to Xiao Lijuan's story, Wang Haoran's expression became a little solemn.

It seems that in order to change the backward situation, the Lizards have started to make some small moves.

Recruiting technical personnel is a very important means to achieve overtaking on curves.

"Have any of the company's key technical personnel resigned recently?" Wang Haoran asked.

In fact, in order to prevent poaching, Wang Haoran has set up several firewalls in Pangu Technology Company.

The most important firewall is that the salary and benefits must be high enough.

Pangu Technology’s core scientific and technological personnel receive equity dividends, bonuses for technological breakthroughs, and their basic salary is no worse than that of foreign countries.

For example, the monthly salary of important technical personnel is basically more than 10,000 yuan.

Including dividends and bonuses, it is normal to earn 200,000 or 300,000 yuan a year.

In the world at the end of 1982, this was much higher than the technical personnel in Squidward.

In addition to giving more material incentives, Wang Haoran will also continue to provide spiritual incentives, so that key technical personnel have the opportunity to receive the honor of national science and technology awards, and cultivate employees' patriotism.

As for the salary and benefits situation in the same industry overseas, Wang Haoran will also let some scientific and technological personnel who have returned from abroad share their own experiences, so that important scientific and technological R&D personnel will understand that the salaries they receive are the best in the world.

The last firewall is to sign a non-compete agreement.

That is to say, if you leave your job, you are not allowed to engage in the same type of occupation within five years.

In this situation, if there are still important scientific and technological personnel going to work abroad, it can only mean one thing: this person is a traitor.

Xiao Lijuan shook her head and said, "From the current situation, no technical staff has chosen to resign for the time being."

"But I seriously doubt that someone would be tricked into fleeing to Hong Kong Island and then leaving without saying goodbye."

Wang Haoran said: "The father dies and the mother remarries, we really can't prevent this."

"Be careful not to let those with ulterior motives steal the company's important technical information. As long as they do this, we don't have to worry about it."

Wang Haoran was discussing with Xiao Lijuan when Xiao Renming came back from outside, exhausted.

Xiao Renming is currently teaching at Peking University while also doing research at Pangu Technology Company.

Pangu Technology set up a special laboratory for Xiao Renming.

He works tirelessly every day.

Only work can make him happy.

"Dad, you're back." Wang Haoran stood up and greeted Xiao Renming.

Xiao Renming was also very happy to see Wang Haoran.

He said: "The shipbuilding plan should be progressing smoothly, right?"

Wang Haoran nodded and said, "It's going relatively smoothly."

"Is the research on the living radar that you are in charge of almost completed?"

Xiao Renming nodded and said, "It has basically been designed."

"I was just asking you when to review it."

Wang Haoran smiled and waved his hand and said, “Dad, you are too polite.”

"What are you reviewing? I trust you to do your job."

The two talked for a while, and Xiao Renming also said something that aroused Wang Haoran's vigilance.

He said: "The school's foreign affairs office is organizing a delegation to visit Jiaoben, and my name is on the delegation list."

"I said I couldn't go because I was busy with work, but the staff of the Foreign Affairs Office came to persuade me several times. I felt a little embarrassed."

These words immediately aroused Wang Haoran's vigilance.

"Dad, have you seen the list of members?"

Xiao Renming nodded and said, "I've seen most of them."

“Many famous professors from our school are among them.”

“Especially some liberal arts professors.”

Wang Haoran said thoughtfully: "The Japs are starting to play tricks again."

"Dad, have you organized many visits to the foot basin before?"

Xiao Renming nodded and said, "In the past few years, many people have gone to Jiaoben for study and research almost every year. After all, Jiaoben's scientific research is very advanced!"

Wang Haoran asked again: "Are there many people who seem to have changed completely after returning from the foot basin?"

Xiao Renming shook his head: "I really didn't pay attention to this."

"However, there are many sophisticated egoists in colleges and universities, and the phenomenon of "whoever gives you milk is your mother" is also very common." (End of this chapter)
