China sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth, which just won the box office title of the 20 19 Spring Festival movie, caused a heated discussion, and inadvertently hooked up a story of the power industry by the original novel author Liu of the same name.
Originally, I learned about the writer Liu from the children's hobby of watching Three-body, but I didn't expect him to be a senior electrical engineer. Putting the engine on the earth is really what an electrical engineer can think of, haha, isn't it? This is an occupational disease.
Let's look at Liu's story.
Where did Liu's "fishing writing" take place? In a previous interview, Liu repeatedly mentioned his work unit before becoming a professional writer: Shanxi Niangziguan Thermal Power Plant. Niangziguan Power Plant is about 40 kilometers away from Liu's hometown, Yangquan, Shanxi, and is located at the foot of Taihang Mountain. The power plant was built in 1965 with a total installed capacity of 4×100 MW (1MW =1000 kw), and the units were built in 197 1 year and1970 kw. As a war preparation power plant, ensure the electricity consumption in Hebei and Beijing. Then it is not only one of the main power plants in Shanxi Province, but also one of the hub power plants in North China Power Grid. 1985 After graduating from the Department of Hydropower Engineering of North China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower (now North China University of Water Resources and Hydropower), Liu entered Niangziguan Power Plant as a computer engineer.
In 2007, in the reconstruction and expansion project of Niangziguan Power Plant, a reinforced concrete chimney with a height of 1964 and 100 meters collapsed, marking the completion of the historical mission of the old power plant. 1 Units 2 were shut down at the end of May 2007, and Units 3 and 4 are scheduled to be officially shut down at the end of March 2009.
The reason for the closure of Niangziguan Power Plant is precisely to save energy consumption and reduce pollutant emissions. Since 2007, China has implemented the policy of "more pressure and less pressure" in the power field, that is, replacing small thermal power units with high-efficiency and energy-saving large-scale thermal power units. The project of "replacing the small with the large" is the second power plant project of Niangziguan (2×600MW unit).
? Liu said that as soon as the news came out, the atmosphere in the enterprise was different immediately. "There are 2,000 people in our enterprise, and a large power plant can only accommodate 400 people. Where did the remaining 1600 people go? In this atmosphere, the style of "Three-body" has become somewhat gloomy and the competition for survival has surfaced. "
Judging from Jane's history, Liu should like writing when he is studying. June 1985 joined the work, and then worked as a computer engineer in Shanxi Niangziguan Power Plant. 1989, he wrote the first editions of the sci-fi novels Supernova Age and China 2 185, but they were not published. In other words, I worked for four years and finished two novels. I've been writing nonstop. In the 1990s, he began to contribute to science fiction world magazine. After ten years of grinding a sword, I finally got something. 1June, 1999, I published two works, Whale Song and Micro Terminal, for the first time in the science fiction world, and won the first prize of China Science Fiction Galaxy Award for taking her eyes away in the same year. In 2000, he published the short story "Ground Fire" and The Wandering Earth, and won the special prize of China Science Fiction Galaxy Award with The Wandering Earth. In the back, it lost control. In May 2006, Liu's novel "Three-body" began to be serialized in the sci-fi world, which lasted more than half a year and ended at the end of the year. In the same year, he won the special prize of China Science Fiction Galaxy Award for this work. At the end of 2007, the sequel three body 2: Dark Forest was completed and published in May 2008. 20 10 10 published the third book "three body 3: To die and live forever" and won the special prize of China Science Fiction Galaxy Award again. It took me four years to write the trilogy of Three-body.
I am also an electrical engineer.
The shutdown of power plants, senior engineers and units is under the background of "less pressure but greater pressure". As an electrical engineer, this situation is similar to the fact that our power plant will be closed in the near future to tie in with the construction of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Now that I think about it, joining 007 last year was a very important decision. I didn't have a hobby of writing before. At most, I published work-related articles in the magazine of the factory and a few newsletters in the newsletter of the factory, and I didn't think of writing. Now I am on the right path and record what I have learned, thought and thought. Of course, I didn't think I would be a writer in the future, and the standard was too high. However, it is also a beautiful thing to make writing my hobby and habit and record my growth. It's just that Liu's benchmark and example are more inspiring, which makes us more aware of the importance of writing and strengthens our confidence in writing.
Here, I wish you all happiness in your later years and all the best in the Year of the Pig. The plan of the year lies in spring, so it's time to make a good plan for this year's writing. So, here's the problem. Let's talk about it To achieve something, you should not only write, but also write. Which direction should I write hard? Hey hey, welcome to leave a message.
