v11 Chapter 344： The best times (on)

"This time will be a big step in the history of the progress of our human civilization. We will officially enter the age of the universe."

The speech of Director Steve Rogers has spread to the world through the Internet and various social media. Almost everyone in the world knows that the Nova Corps and Xinmeng are about to officially visit Earth.

Although this is not very important news for many people on the earth, especially the people at the bottom of their lives.

For most people, they care about the universe and don't care where tomorrow's meals are.

In a technical school in Shandong, China. Chen Xiang looked at the fervent speech of Director Steve Rogers on TV. Her mood is probably a little excited, but it is only a little bit.

Because for him tomorrow's exam is his more important thing. Chen Xiang is 19 years old and comes from a mountainous area in western China. He is currently studying in a technical school or the like in Jinan, Shandong.

His technical major is mecha driving. It sounds like a high-end atmosphere and is full of futuristic science fiction. But in fact, this is not the case, because the predecessor of the mecha driving profession established by this technical school is actually the excavator major.

Chen Xiang was originally a student of the excavator major, and the school's excavator major began to reform a year and a half ago. One part continued to learn excavator driving and maintenance, while the other part became the mecha driving professional. At first, Chen Xiang and his classmates were still very excited.

"Don't we say that we are going to be children of destiny, does this school secretly train special talents for the country?" Chen Xiang thought so at the time. He had already thought about the situation of the protagonist in various mecha animations he had seen. Maybe I can be the same as those protagonists. Soaring in the blue sky or space in her armor, she is gorgeously avoiding various attacks from the enemy. Then every shot and every knife of his own can destroy an enemy. When he is in trouble, his inner seeds explode, and then he shouts out loudly: "Ou Ou Ou Wow Gang Da Da!" Then his skills exploded instantly Spike the audience. Chen Xiang felt a little excited when he thought of sleeping after that.

But reality quickly broke Chen Xiang's pot of cold water. Because when their selected students went to the first class of mecha driving, the teacher at the podium said to them: "The use of mechanical armor for excavation and repair has become the current trend in the world. Traditional excavators It will inevitably be replaced by mechas with more complex functions. Especially in the future when mining in space and alien planets, the traditional forms of excavator parts are too large and heavy, and it is inconvenient to transport. Engineering mechas are more lightweight, so the mechas Mining and mining are imperative. "

"So classmates, your good time is up! You in engineering armor will become a new generation of miners! Cheers, be proud, you will be the tide of the times!" The teacher wearing gold wire glasses on the podium The spit was so excited. But the cheers and applause the teacher expected did not appear at all. The students in the audience were so cold that they had to go mining for a long time ...

It's just that it changed from a traditional excavator to a construction machinery armor.

In fact, all this was Li Jie ’s original proposal to Tony: “Since you made the steel armor, you also designed the engineering armor. So why not use it generously for the whole world?” This is Li Jie's previous life was very puzzled when watching movies. Tony Stark clearly designed mechas for engineering, but Marvel's world (movies) is still dominated by traditional mechanical engineering.

Of course, Tony has his own concerns. Because he was afraid that his mecha technology would be stolen. However, he is also very clear about the huge impact on the traditional industry if engineering mechas are put on the market. This will be a great revolution. In the original story, Tony would not let go of his mecha technology, let alone put them on the shelf to become a commodity.

But when Li Jie appeared, and under his influence, a large number of like-minded companions pushed the earth forward and reformed together. Tony finally decided to put his design on the shelf and become a commodity.

Engineering mechas do not need to use a variety of bullet-proof armor, nor do they need to fly much faster, and even many models do not need flying ability at all, nor do they need to run fast. It only needs to be able to meet various engineering needs and work properly under various complex geographical conditions.

Tony has redesigned the entire engineering mecha product line for this purpose. The purpose of the mecha is complex, and the operation is as simple as possible. Because Tony's steel armor is actually a very mature product, such a small change is a breeze for him.

Driven by the Stark Group's channels, a new generation of engineering mechas have been put on the shelf and become a global product. And in order to promote the use of engineering mechas, Stark Group has also set up training sites in major cities in major countries around the world for free. So that customers who have purchased their own engineering mechas can easily find operators.

Although engineering mechas are not cheap, the quotation of an engineering mecha with special mining as the main function is generally about one million dollars. But compared to traditional special mining machines, this price is not too expensive. Because the price of traditional machinery is also close to 950,000 US dollars. Although Mecha is 50,000 dollars more expensive, but there are many more functions that can make it complete more work.

These engineering mechas are very popular in the market as soon as they are launched, because there are too many engineering problems that are difficult to solve by traditional machinery, or it requires extremely professional and precious top craftsmen who exceed the pandas to complete. The versatile and complex nature of engineering mechas has helped many projects solve many problems. And Tony's design greatly controls the cost, so that the mecha is no longer something the factory cannot afford.

He even launched various simplified versions to meet the needs of different markets.

Like the mecha that Chen Xiang drove during the exam, this is one of the thirty mechas that the Stark Group sponsored this technical school. Because it is a trainer, there are many functions that are not available and the power is relatively low. But this can control the cost, the price of such a mech only needs more than 300,000 yuan. The price is comparable to a domestic high-end CNC machine tool. It is really not expensive in construction machinery.

Chen Xiang operated the mecha to complete an emergency turning part and welding. Although it looks difficult from the outside, Chen Xiang is going to process a part in the temporary field where the accuracy error requires to be controlled within eight thousandths of a millimeter. But Chen Xiang, who controls everything inside the mech, felt that it was not difficult at all. Because he only needs to input some commands, and then Mecha can complete all this automatically.

This is also the special design that Tony made for the promotion of engineering mechas, that is to reduce the difficulty of use and the entry cost of mechas. As long as it is a normal person who has completed junior high school and is in a healthy state of mind, he can control these mechas to accomplish many things that teachers can accomplish.

After the cutting was completed, Chen Xiangyong took a welding exam. An arm in the engineering mech protruded a welding spearhead. He used the scanning function in the mech to scan the cracks that needed to be welded, and planned the best path.

"Unfortunately, it is a trainer. It is said that those professional welding mechas that cost seven or eight million units can instantly analyze the properties of the materials that need to be welded, even if complex multi-section materials are welded together. The mecha can control Good welding temperature and automatic replacement of suitable welding wire. "Chen Xiang thought so, but he did not stop.

With the help of mecha, Chen Xiang, who has obviously not done much welding work, is like a teacher who has worked for 20 years. His welding technique is stable and professional. The welded seam is smooth and even. After polishing, it is white and shiny without any cracks.

The students and teachers of other majors in the technical school watching the exam on the side could not help but have cold hair. Especially a teacher who has worked as a 30-year lathe and a 30-year welder, they couldn't help but shook their heads and said in a low voice: "In the future, these crafts will be completely replaced by mechas!

The wave of numerical control has made it difficult for traditional mechanical processing to have a cone. The only reserved area is probably some special processing. The emergence of engineering mechas gives these special processing better choices. Maybe there will not be much special processing in the future to ask your own teachers.

However, Chen Xiang did not feel the sorrow of those teachers. Because the glory days of those teachers are too long for him. A long time ago is like a story in a storyteller. Now this is an era of his own younger generation. Chen Xiang has witnessed the earth-shaking changes in the world in the past few years when he walked out of the mountain area. He firmly believed that he could find his place in this turbulent wave.

"The world is changing. Maybe the teacher is right, we really will be the tide of this era. No, even if it is not the tide, we can follow the wave. It is also very good." Chen Xiang after the special mining test was completed I ended all the exams, and finally got a certificate that was rated as a B-level mecha mechanic.

Because Mecha Driving Tests are all set by the Stark Group, this is a certificate that is used globally. The B-level certificate is also the highest-level certificate that students can take. More advanced A and S grades require three years of work before they can take the exam.

Chen Xiang did not care that the envoys of the Nova Corps would arrive in ten days. Because he got a good job just after graduating, a large company hired him with an annual salary of 150,000 to become the company's special mining job.

Now he needs to do another important thing before joining the job. He needs to go home. Standing at the door of the school, Chen Xiang's bank card had the 5000 yuan toll paid by the company, which was given to him in advance, deducted from his first month's salary.

He carried his own few luggage, and a washed, whitish denim bag filled with all his laundry. He was going to Jinan North Station, but the school did not have a bus to go there. I used to walk forty more minutes to the next bus station to catch the bus. But today Chen Xiang decided to spend extravagantly.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped a semi-suspended taxi. Since the Stark Group launched the suspension car, the concept has been followed worldwide. Many manufacturers have obtained the Stark Group's suspension technology after paying high royalties. Even the castration suspension technique is required.

There are no depots still producing cars with four wheels. Well, this is a bit wrong. It should be said that those factories that can only produce cars with four wheels are destined to be eliminated.

Chen Xiang stopped a suspended taxi of Beiqi. Chen Xiang was a little hesitant to get on the bus, because the price of this floating taxi was 20% more expensive than the traditional four-wheel taxi.

"Go?" The taxi driver pushed his sunglasses and raised his eyebrows at Chen Xiang outside the car.

"Let's go to the North Railway Station." Chen Xiang gritted his teeth. Anyway, he is extravagant today, so he is extravagant. I have been poor with my family for my whole life. I have not been to the downtown area for three years and have never taken a taxi in the big city like Jinan. I have never been in a car in my life, so I have the right to open my eyes today.

Suspension cars are unusually stable on the road, unlike the cars Chen Xiang used to ride. When those cars drive across the road, there are always various kinds of grooves and bumps that will make the car bump, and tire noise caused by the friction between the tire and the ground will also be transmitted into the car. Suspended cars don't have these worries. Chen Xiang sat in the back row of the car blowing a natural and fresh air conditioner, feeling like he was sitting in a comfortable big sofa. He was almost going to sleep here.

He shook his head to wake him up. Then he tried to talk to the driver to relieve fatigue.

"Brother has been a driver for many years?"

"More than ten years."

"This car is easy to drive."

"That's it! It's really easy to drive! This car does not bump at all, and my waist is more comfortable. And this car does not eat oil."

"No oil ?!" Chen Xiang was a little surprised.

"Hey, if you look at you guys, you do n’t understand cars. Men do n’t understand cars. It ’s okay. Let me tell you, this kind of suspension car is completely powered by electricity. This car is based on the Ark battery made by the Stark Group. Energy. Clean and environmentally friendly, with no exhaust emissions at all. In the future, those cars that burn oil will become fewer and fewer. Now the gas prices of gas stations are getting cheaper. I just bought an old Mercedes-Benz s200 last month. I went to the gas station and saw that the gas price had dropped to three dollars. "The driver master was very talkative.

"Benz, that's expensive." In Chen Xiang's heart, Mercedes-Benz is the representative of high-end cars.

"Hey! What's expensive. Old-fashioned four-wheeled cars. No one wants it now. It would be too bad for rich people to drive four-wheeled cars. Now even taxis are suspended. The price of the four-wheeled vehicle has already collapsed, "the driver said." The old s200, which ran 60,000 kilometers, is now dealt with forty thousand dollars. No one wants it. Everyone says that the country will ban four wheels on the road. And in the future, the gas station may be gone someday. Who dares to sell the car expensive. "

"Then you still buy it?"

"No way, who made me love Mercedes-Benz when I was a kid. If I can't drive it for two years, I have the right to collect it as an antique." It seems that the driver is also a person of faith.

During the conversation with the driver, Chen Xiang saw the suspension vehicles passing by on the road. Hearing from the driver that there is a policy of replacing old ones with new ones, there will be fewer and fewer old cars and more and more suspension cars in the future. This car is safer and more environmentally friendly. While taking the high-speed to the North Station, Chen Xiang also saw a huge construction site.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"It seems to be building a giant building, like the one in Shanghai. It is said that once the building is repaired, one building can live one million people. It's like myth. Can a building live a million people ?!"

"It should be possible ..." Chen Xiang was not sure.

The driver shook his head: "My wife told me to buy the uncompleted buildings here first, saying that it is convenient to live in this building in the future. All schools and hospitals have them all. I said one million people are crowded in one building. Suffocating! "It seems that the driver master does not like it very much.

Chen Xiang asked: "Then your wife asked you to buy it, did you buy it?"

The driver was very simple: "Buy."

While passing by the construction site, Chen Xiang saw many engineering mechas working in the construction site. They are all doing a variety of difficult processing projects. Those ordinary construction workers are envious of these co-workers wearing mechas that can fly away. Chen Xiang thought to himself: I will be a member of it.

The North Station rookie has a bigger platform, which is prepared for the Super High Speed ​​Railway. Faster and more convenient than traditional high-speed rail. Chen Xiang's ticket is to take the Super High Speed ​​Rail home. There are more than 1,700 kilometers from Jinan to his hometown in the southwest, and the fare is more than 800 yuan. A little expensive, no! It should be said that it is too expensive compared to the train that I have been sitting on before.

But Chen Xiang still spent the money because he had to rush home to share his good news with his family. The traditional train needs him to bump for more than 20 hours on the journey, and he only needs to sit on the high-speed train for an hour.

When the train with the silver-white light like a silver dragon stopped in front of him, Chen Xiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: It's beautiful! He has never seen such a beautiful train. Streamlined bodywork, silver-white car paint shining light. Entering the car, the seats are set to two on each side. The seat is wide and comfortable, allowing people to put their feet straight.

The train departed on time and the seats were full. Sitting next to Chen Xiang is a middle-aged man in his forties who looks like a gentleman with gold wire glasses. He took out his computer and was doing his job at the beginning of the trip.

Chen Xiang glanced secretly, it was a lesson plan. It seems to be a lesson plan for a middle school in Southwest, huh? Isn't this Southwest **** Middle School hometown? Chen Xiang's hometown is a national poverty-stricken county. Education has always been poor. Although he didn't want to say that, Chen Xiang always felt that the teacher in the middle school he had studied before always had a local smell. This is no way, because as a state-level poor county, there is no good teacher willing to come to his hometown to teach. There are many teachers who came here twenty or thirty years ago, and some people who stayed in school as substitute teachers.

So Chen Xiang couldn't help but speak to someone who looked like a teacher beside him: "Are you a teacher?"

"Well." The other party was busy, so he just nodded and didn't watch Chen Xiang or talk.

"I'm from this middle school." Chen Xiang pointed at the teacher's lesson plans with a little excitement.

"Are you a student of this student?" The middle-aged teacher looked up now, and he looked up and down Chen Xiang: "How many classes do you have?"

"I have graduated. After graduating from junior high school, I came to Jinan to attend the technical school." Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed: "You are a teacher."

"Yes, you can call me Teacher Wang. Your last name?"

"No surname is Chen. Teacher Wang, are you a teacher in this school? Why haven't I seen you before?" Teacher Wang's temperament is outstanding, and such a very scholarly teacher will definitely be noticed in his former school. of.

"Well, it's normal that you don't know me. It's only half a year since I went." Teacher Wang readjusted his gold-tinted glasses: "The National Promotion of Western Education Program, I am a participant. I used to be a teacher in Jinan's middle school. After responding to the call of the country, I went to your original school to teach mathematics. This Sunday happened to be my birthday, I will go back to Jinan for my birthday and I will go back today. "

Chen Xiang always respects teachers who are willing to go to national poverty-stricken counties in their hometowns. He respectfully said: "Teacher Wang, you can give up your life in Jinan to work in our national poverty-stricken county. You are really amazing."

Chen Xiang ’s praise made Teacher Wang blush a little, and he quickly waved his hand: “Xiao Chen, do n’t make me say that great. In fact, I also participated in teaching when I graduated from university many years ago. I have been teaching in the mountainous area of ​​the west for two months. I fled back. Because it was too poor, there was nothing. I am used to living in a big city, and I ca n’t live in a poor place. Those teachers who can hold on to these places for more than 20 years are really true Great. "

"I am responding to the call now mainly because of the convenient transportation. It only takes an hour from Jinan to take the train in the past, and then the suspended car in the past took an hour ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to reach the county in two hours. Teachers who support education, the relevant departments reimbursed our round-trip fares. They know that many people are like me. In fact, we are willing to teach children in poor areas. But we ca n’t stand the local accommodation and living environment. . So everyone compromises, working in poor villages and living back to cities. "

"I live in the county from Monday to Friday, and I am going back to Jinan on weekends." Teacher Wang was still a little embarrassed. Perhaps he was nearly forty years old, but he still carried some arrogance and shame on the literati, making him feel that he was a bit hypocritical. But for Chen Xiang, it is already very good for teachers like Teacher Wang to come. My hometown is too backward and needs such teachers to educate the next generation.

The train travels at a high speed in a channel similar to a vacuum glass tube. Chen Xiang looks at the blurred scenery outside through the window glass and pipe glass. He vaguely seemed to see another silver dragon running on the earth. Is there someone in the car like yourself? Is there another person in the car like Teacher Wang?

On the intersecting main lines, every silver dragon of Mercedes-Benz carries countless people and their pursuits.

Perhaps this era is not perfect, but this is the best era for Chen Xiang.
