After Fan Wubing said that he was not familiar with the two top leaders of the party and government, the two invited him to attend the New Year's party in 2003.

Of course, there is no reason for this, because on December 30, the Shenzhou IV spacecraft was successfully launched, which is a thing worth celebrating. With this as an excuse, coupled with the arrival of the New Year, the government will hold a relatively large cocktail party to entertain friends from all walks of life.

The Shenzhou IV spacecraft was further improved and developed based on the successful flight tests. Its configuration, function and technical status are basically the same as those of the manned spacecraft. This is also the fourth unmanned spacecraft, consisting of a propulsion compartment, a return compartment, an orbital compartment and an additional section.

The total length of the spacecraft is about 7.4 meters, with a maximum diameter of 2.8 meters and a total mass of 7,794 kilograms. A solar cell wing is installed in the II and IV quadrants of the propulsion chamber and the orbital chamber. The total area of ​​the two solar cell wings in the propulsion chamber is 24.48 square meters, and the width of the wingspan after being deployed is about 17 meters. The total area of ​​the two solar cell wings in the orbital chamber is 12.24 square meters, and the width of the wingspan after being deployed is about 10.4 meters. The Shenzhou IV spacecraft is equipped with 13 sub-systems and power supply and distribution and cable networks. The structure and mechanism sub-systems ensure the configuration of the spacecraft and provide astronauts with a living structural space.

The Shenzhou IV spacecraft will circumvent the earth for 108 times in accordance with the predetermined plan, implement hundreds of actions such as solar windsurfing, orbital maneuver, and attitude determination in space, perform orbit change, and perform two orbit maintenance. In addition to the absence of manned, the technical status of the Shenzhou IV spacecraft is exactly the same as that of the manned spacecraft.

During this flight, the manned space application system, astronaut system, spacecraft environmental control and life support subsystem have participated in the experiments, and will conduct research projects such as ground observations, materials science, life science experiments, and space astronomy and space environment detection in space; the preparatory astronauts also entered the spacecraft for actual experience before launch.

At present, during the spacecraft's orbit, various instruments and equipment on the ship have stable performance and normal operation, and a large amount of valuable flight test data and scientific data have been obtained.

This is the last unmanned flight. The next time it takes off will be the first manned flight of the Shenzhou series of spacecraft.

This launch mission was also completed at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, so some staff from Jiuquan also came to attend the cocktail party. In addition, some processing companies under Fan Wubing were responsible for some parts business during the development of the spacecraft, and carried some seeds from the Northeast crop base into space for cultivation. Therefore, after the government invited Fan Wubing, he agreed readily.

Fan Wubing met many old friends at the cocktail party and was in a good mood. In the middle of the day, the leader No. 1 specifically called him to go over and chat together. When he arrived at the venue, he found that it was just a small gathering, with a total of 30 or 40 people.

When it comes to Shenzhou IV, everyone's expressions are quite excited. In fact, the development of space technology is still very effective in improving the comprehensive national strength in the future. The satellite killer who is currently under intense development is likely to shine in future military conflicts and play a key role.

However, when it comes to American space shuttle technology, it feels that the gap is still too big. Needless to say, the United States is just Russian space technology. In fact, it is also very powerful, but Russians are not as rich as Americans and cannot afford to make trouble.

However, no one can deny that Russia's manufacturing industry is still extremely strong. The improved An-124 aircraft can fly American space shuttles into the sky with their backs. Although the country is also developing large aircraft projects, it is obvious that there is still a long way to go to reach this level.

Even so, Fan Wubing is quite satisfied with his large aircraft project.

It’s so great that some people have mentioned the reform of most ministries and commissions.

Fan Wubing inadvertently looked at the leaders who were working. The expressions on everyone's faces were the same steady, and there was no sign of any tendency at all. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

If it is said that in the foreign political system, the most taboo thing is an ambiguous and basically a political leader who is on the verge of the top, he has his own firm interest position and has to speak for the class he represents at any time. Therefore, their expressions are basically clear in love and hate, and are very patterned.

But when you arrive at home, the most taboo thing is unstable. What is leadership?

A leader is able to collapse in front of him without changing color. He can still sit there steadily when his butt is on fire. This is what the leader is called a leader.

Therefore, it is really difficult to see some tricks from their expressions.

The academic community has been discussing the reform of the major ministries and commissions for a while, but the reform of the major ministries and commissions did not begin today. The most important call now is to put it bluntly that the State Council launched a new round of institutional reforms.

According to the finger calculation, over the past 20 years of reform and opening up, large institutions have been streamlined at least four times, and the merger of ministries and commissions has been common. This time, the central government decided to attack government agencies again because of the overlapping functions of government departments and the bloated institutional problem has not been solved yet. It is difficult to recover. If the similar departments are not merged and the fire will be removed from the bottom of the fire, it will not only be difficult for the government to lose weight, but also because of the multiple policies and mutual constraints, the decision-making efficiency will not be improved. From this perspective, it is necessary to implement the system of large ministries and commissions, and it is not an unnecessary move.

Looking at the world, due to the differences in national conditions, although there is no uniform model for governmental organizational settings in various countries, one thing is certain that market economies implement "small governments and big societies".

There are only fifteen ministerial institutions in the United States, eighteen in the United Kingdom, nineteen in Canada, sixteen in Australia, eighteen in France, fourteen in Germany, fifteen in Spain, twelve in Japan, eighteen in South Korea, and fifteen in Singapore. At present, there are twenty-eight ministries and commissions under our State Council, with special institutions, direct agencies, and offices, and a total of nearly one hundred. If such a structure is not bloated, there will be no more bloated structure.

When everyone talked about this, they firmly believed that reform was imperative.

But when it comes to how to change, there is no consensus and everyone has their own persistence.

"We should also ask friends outside the system for this matter. Mr. Xiao Fan also said a few words?" asked the No. 1 leader.

The new leader, who had been elected as General Secretary, also expressed that Fan Wubing must give some advice, otherwise it would be rare to catch him and not waste this opportunity.

Fan Wubing is difficult to get along with the tiger, and it is not good to say it or not. After all, he is very clear that the biggest difficulty in implementing the system of major ministries is probably the diversion of officials. It is said that just by forming a large Ministry of Transport, ten deputy ministerial officials must be removed. So what about the bureaus that need to be removed, and the positions of officials below? I am afraid there are thousands.

Not to mention letting these people resign and go home, even if they are demoted, they may not be happy. Isn’t it? The State Sports Commission was originally renamed the Sports Bureau and demoted to the Deputy Ministerial level, but soon it was changed to the General Administration of Sports and resumed the Ministerial level. What is this for? Although the specific background is not very clear, but who would like to be smaller and smaller in his official position?

If Fan Heng is not the executive vice premier and becomes a State Councilor, I believe that Fan Wubing himself will jump out and oppose it and take action, it will be related to personal interests.

Another difficulty in implementing the system of major ministries is functional integration.

Taking the Ministry of Transport as an example, it is said that the idea is to merge the State Administration of Civil Aviation, the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Railways. Of course, it is not difficult to merge institutions. As long as the State Council nods, it is easy to operate. But you should know that the merger of institutions is one thing; functional integration is another.

In recent years, a gust of wind has merged in domestic universities. What is the result? It is said that there are now 20 chiefs and vice presidents of some universities. There are many people and talks, and it is difficult to decide on big and small matters. This is the case for universities, let alone officials of ministries and commissions with positions and powers?

To take a step back, even if government officials are generous and honest, they can put the overall situation first, and functional integration is not easy. The difficulties you want lie in the system first. The enterprises of the State Administration of Aviation and the Ministry of Transport are now under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, and the Ministry of Railways is both a government agency and has hundreds of billions of assets. The system is different, how can it be simply assembled?

From a management perspective, the Ministry of Railways, the Ministry of Transport and the State Administration of Civil Aviation currently have their own dispatching centers. Due to technical limitations, these three centers cannot be merged in the near future. If water, land, air and transportation are fighting each other and cannot coordinate the dispatch, the integration of functions is just empty talk.

This is the case with the Ministry of Transportation, and the situation of the Ministry of Energy, Agriculture, Culture and other ministries will be similar. So this raises a question: How big should the majority ministries and commissions be? Is the bigger the better?

"Economics talks about moderate scale, which must be based on transaction costs, and the scale of an enterprise depends on transaction costs. Enterprises are like this, and the government is like this. There is no doubt that the State Council implemented the system of large ministries and commissions, originally hoping to improve administrative efficiency and save coordination costs. If the scale is too large, the coordination costs are higher, then such reforms will be worth the loss." Fan Wubing carefully expressed his point of view, "Of course, institutional reform is imperative, but the question is, how should the order of reform be arranged? Should the organization be changed first or administrative approval first? My point of view should be changed first. If the approval system is not broken, institutional reform will be half the result with twice the result. There is a lesson in the past. In the past, did the institutional reform not change once and then expand again? The reason is that everyone said that the official-oriented position is the cause of the official position. Behind the official-oriented position is actually the administrative approval power. Imagine, if the government does not have the approval power, then how could people try every means to enter the agency?"

Fan Wubing's words were refreshing. In fact, this is a fact that many people did not dare to raise. After all, no one dared to raise this statement directly to power.

But for Fan Wubing, this has no negative impact on him. After all, he has not targeted anyone. If he expresses his support or opposes the institutional reform, it will make many people feel unhappy. After all, he is already a relatively influential figure now.

After hearing Fan Wubing's words, the leaders showed deep thought expressions, or were also surprised. Unexpectedly, Fan Wubing made such a sloppy move and did not express his attitude.
