48 Hours a Day

When the third interviewer heard this, he was noncommittal. He turned over Zhang Heng's resume.

"I appreciate your courage to try new things, but I noticed that you have no previous experience in nuclear power plants. This is a completely new field for you."

"I can learn," Zhang Heng replied, "my learning ability is very strong."

"I know, I don’t doubt this. You can tell from your resume. It took only a short time after graduation that you were promoted from an assistant engineer to the position of a full-time engineer. You are very suitable for working in thermal power plants, so My suggestion is that you can continue to stay in the thermal power plant. To be honest, the salary we can pay is not much higher than what you get in the thermal power plant. You don’t need to give up what you are familiar with and learn from the beginning."

Zhang Heng actually didn’t care much about the salary issue, but in order to act as a good candidate, he still understood a little bit. The third interviewer was not aimed at him. The salary of nuclear power plants is indeed not much higher than that of thermal power plants. Given the opportunity to choose, there are still many people who are willing to switch jobs to nuclear power plants.

The main reason is that under the background of sl's vigorous promotion of nuclear power generation, the status of nuclear power plants is higher than that of thermal power plants, and subsequent promotion will be easier. Of course, this is for the management, and for the people below, Working in a nuclear power plant will be more respectable and respected than working in a thermal power plant, and the construction of nuclear power plants has been in full swing. There is a great demand for talents and they have a greater chance of being promoted.

However, this matter cannot be brought to the table. This is the answer before Zhang Heng hugs the future. However, the third interviewer is obviously not the first time to hear similar answers, so he also tried to be as gentle as possible. Zhang Heng's tone persuaded Zhang Heng to dispel this idea.

Zhang Heng fell silent upon hearing this.

It seemed that he was worried that Zhang Heng didn’t understand it. Afterwards, the third interviewer simply pointed out, “The work of nuclear power plants is not easy. I know how the publicity is outside—peaceful atoms, clean energy, but in fact it’s inside the reactor. The atom is not peaceful. We need experienced engineers to cope with various situations and prevent the worst from happening."

Zhang Heng still did not speak, but Fuming on the other side spoke first. He coughed twice, and then said in his pleasant voice like the baritone, "Oleg, I think you made a fuss. It has been more than 30 years since the completion of a nuclear power plant, and there has not been any major accident. I think this is a good indicator of the problem, otherwise the above will not continue to promote the construction of nuclear power plants."

"We are just lucky. The nuclear leaks that the Yankees did on Three Mile Island will happen to us sooner or later." Oleg said worriedly.

"You are too pessimistic. The reactor designed by Academician Doletzali is very safe." Bryukhanov also said at this time, "It is precisely because of these nuclear power plants that we can export more oil and gas to our allies in Eastern Europe. , And the greedy guys in the Western world."

"Academician Dolezzali also warned not to build nuclear power plants in densely populated areas, but look at Pripyat, it is only three kilometers away from us."

"This is the above decision. They may have their considerations, Oleg, you know this is something we can't control. We just need to do our job well," Bryukhanov knocked on the table, looking a little helpless. "Gentlemen, can we focus on recruitment first, the No. 3 reactor is about to be put into operation, we need manpower."

"Yes, we need nuclear power plant workers with extensive experience before, and only such people can be qualified for the work position in nuclear power plants." Oleg insisted.

"There is a Russian proverb that there is no need for gods to burn clay pots. We just need a steam turbine engineer, and now you have a steam turbine engineer." Fuming pointed to Zhang Heng at the other end of the wooden table.

"What are you talking about? We are recruiting people for the nuclear power plant. Isn't the prerequisite to understand the job? Is there any problem with this?"

"Ivan not only understands this job, but also has rich experience. He used to work in a thermal power station, understands high-power power generation systems, power distribution systems, and knows everything about transmission lines, and as he himself said, he is very young. , There is time to learn and grow." Fuming said, "I think he is the person we are looking for."

"Except for reactors, he doesn't understand reactors, and this is precisely the most important aspect of working in nuclear power plants." Oleg insisted, "We need experts, nuclear energy experts, not laymen who don't know anything from scratch."

As a result, as soon as he said this, not only did Fuming’s face cool down, Bryukhanov was also a little upset, “Fuming worked in a thermal power station before coming here, and I was also in Slavia before coming here. According to your statement, we are all laymen who work at the Yanskara coal-fired power station, but aren't we doing our job well now?"

"I didn't mean that, Bryukhanov." Oleg also knew that he was too anxious just now, and he said something wrong, so he quickly apologized.

The director of Bryukhanov looks very nice most of the time, like a good old man, but he does have some taboos. What he hates most is the secret talk of the experts below that he does not understand nuclear energy.

Afterwards, as if out of anger, he also promoted Fuming, who also worked in the thermal power station, as the head of the electrical department. It didn’t take long for Fuming to be promoted to the deputy chief engineer in charge of the assembly department and operation department, while waiting for the general manager. After the engineer left, Fuming was promoted to chief engineer of the nuclear power plant.

Although the Ministry of Energy clearly opposed the appointment of personnel and preferred another candidate who had worked in nuclear power plants, Bryukhanov then used his official contacts and the Ukrainian side came forward and said that Fuming was The leader they really needed. He was tough and had a very high standard of work. He was more suitable than another candidate for the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. In the end, Moscow gave in. The Central Council of Nuclear Energy approved the appointment. Breu Khanov also got his right-hand man.

"I respect your professionalism very much, Oleg Deputy Chief Engineer, can also understand your safety concerns." Bryukhanov also slowed down some of his tone, "but our recruitment of personnel also requires comprehensive consideration. Of course, understanding nuclear energy is very good, but this does not mean that other aspects are not important, and compared to the proficiency of skills, I think work attitude is more important. If a person’s attitude is not correct, then no matter how strong his work ability is , Do you think I am right?"

"That's what it says, but..."

"Nothing but," Bryukhanov interrupted Oleg with a wave, turning his gaze to Zhang Heng again, "Ivan, how is your work attitude?"

"If I can work in a nuclear power plant, I will definitely study hard, and I will never relax." Zhang Heng said.

"Very good." Bryukhanov said with satisfaction, "It is to have such a working attitude. Next, Fuming will ask you a few professional questions to examine you. You must answer them well, but you don’t need to be nervous, Fuming asks. All are related to your previous work."
