Chapter 551 Surprise: Big Breakthrough

Mu Yang went on to say: "The second product I plan, I call it Factory Assistant.

It can assist in sorting out 5S on-site in the workshop and sorting out the warehouse.

It can also help monitor and manage the status of workshops and warehouses through sensors and cameras, improving production efficiency and quality.

Factory Assistant can also seamlessly connect with other equipment and systems to automate manufacturing and logistics, which will bring higher efficiency and greater competitive advantage to enterprises.

Such market is blank at present, does not have such product.

I think the factory assistant is a very promising robot product with huge market potential, but I may not have considered it. I hope the strategy department will send someone to investigate and find out what is missing.

It is also very difficult to develop such a robot. The technical department will analyze and analyze the technical difficulties and carry out research. "

"Chairman, if it is a factory robot, the company's first consideration is cost and benefit, unlike home life assistants, which can be purchased with love and treated as a family member." Wang Hai reminded.

Mu Yang agrees: "Dr Wang is right, so this market is very challenging.

Our products must be able to meet the needs of customers, and the price is reasonable. Don't develop a product that sells for millions, but the factory thinks it is not worthwhile and refuses to purchase it.

Although labor costs will become higher and higher in the future, and robots will gradually replace human labor, the status quo of human dominance cannot be changed in the next ten years.

Of course, no matter how robots develop, we cannot rely on complete robots to replace humans, because humans still have unique advantages and creativity in certain fields. "

"Chairman, our current arc welding robot is still a teaching robot.

I think it is necessary to optimize and improve the current teaching robot if designing a robot factory assistant.

The teaching robot is very unfriendly in terms of human-computer interaction. It is not a small frequency for the operator to be injured because he is not familiar with the robot. Moreover, in the teaching area, the operator needs to spend a lot of time and energy on debugging. Small batch production debugging is too much trouble. "Wang Hai added, "If it is to weld 20 short welds, it will take about three hours for debugging. "

In addition to the proficiency factor of the operator, the debugging time of the arc welding robot mainly depends on the number of welds, because it takes too much time to adjust the posture.

For a 0.3-meter-long straight weld and a 0.6-meter-long straight weld, there is no change in the commissioning time, and it is enough to set 2 to 3 points (arc start point and arc end point, and add more intermediate points) in the same way.

In Wang Hai’s words, most strategic experts didn’t express their opinions because they don’t know much about arc welding robots. Zhou Chen understood a little and said: “A 6KG arc welding robot costs about 160,000 yuan for a welding machine plus a bare metal robot. One hundred thousand yuan, I guess most factory owners are not willing to purchase."

"Yes, adding smart configuration requires adding visual sensors, sound sensors, tactile sensors, etc." Wang Hai said.

Zhou Chen nodded and concluded: "That is to say, we must reduce the cost of components such as visual sensors, sound sensors, and tactile sensors, otherwise, there may be no market due to high costs.

But the main cost is still in the software, right? "

Wang Hai also said: "Mr. Zhou, the current market situation is mainly due to the expensive software. For example, the software of visual robots is very expensive, and many manufacturers are not willing to install it.

But I think that the price of software will drop soon after it is widely used, and in terms of sensors, if the price is not well controlled, it will still hinder the development of these smart configurations. "

After listening to their words, Mu Yang agreed with most of their views.

The supporting software is easy to say, but the quantity is actually cheap.

When Xinghai Group did not enter the vision market, a set of vision software sold more than 100,000 yuan. Many bosses wanted to install vision robots, but they could only regress because of the high price.

At present, Xinghai Group has entered the visual market, has suppressed prices, and promoted industrial transformation and upgrading and the development of intelligent manufacturing.

Xinghai Group's software costs are extremely low, and due to the large volume, the average cost is extremely low.

After Mu Yang and others discussed the situation, they concluded: "The Strategy Department has made a clear investigation of the situation. Home life assistants, factory assistants, and Dr. Wang's current teaching robot with intelligent configuration should also be investigated.

In general, research and development are required, and it is one thing whether or not to push it to the market in the end, but our own factory can try it out first.

In the future layout, for many R&D products, we can't just look at whether the market can accept it, but we need it. "

What he means is that no matter whether the price is expensive or not, it must actually be developed. If you really carry out planet mining and build smart factories on new planets, then you don’t care about the price of robots, even if there are millions of robots. The same, it is not the same to be developed.

This meeting, discussed for a long time, finally came to an end, and the general direction was decided.

After the meeting, join the crowd for lunch.

Now Xinghai Group has more than 100,000 employees, and about 50,000 people in the headquarters, most of them are scientific researchers.

Most of the production base moved to Yangfu Industrial Park, where most of the workers are.

Last year, the local government specially built an eight-lane highway on both sides of the two industrial parks to facilitate the commuting and logistics of Xinghai Group employees. It is called "Xinghai Science and Technology Avenue", which is more than ten kilometers long.

In addition to the fast track, there is also the light rail under construction, which is also ready to be put into use.

After dinner, Mu Yang went back to the 101st floor of Xinghai Building, stood on the balcony and looked up.

To the northeast of Xinghai Building, you can see Smart City.

To the southeast is the area where Xinghai Group extends to Yangfu District.

Xinghai Group's third phase of 5,500 mu of industrial land started construction on New Year's Day in 2014. At present, all constructions including Xinghai Homeland have been completed and put into use.

Only the Mu Mansion, which has the longest construction period, has also been renovated, and when there is enough ventilation time, it can be moved in in the middle of the year.

The first to third phases of Xinghai Group Headquarters Base have a total of 12,500 mu of land, including 2,500 mu of residential land and commercial land.

The fourth phase of construction will start at the beginning of 2017, with a planned construction area of ​​10,000 mu and a construction period of 3 years.

Starting from Yangfu District to the headquarters base, it is a large-scale factory built mainly to meet the needs of large-scale structural parts or large-scale equipment manufacturing.

For example, the construction of Wyvern ground-effect aircraft and large spacecraft occupies a very large area, and the current general factories cannot manufacture them.

In order to manufacture these big guys, it is necessary to develop various large-scale fixtures and processing equipment, and the investment is very large.

When the construction of this area of ​​about 100,000 mu is completed, it will truly become the Xinghai Group Industrial City.

An industrial city of an enterprise can represent a city.

Of course, the Xinghai Group can now represent City H, and the entire country of Hua knows that City H's economy is more developed because of the Xinghai Group, and more talents are pouring into this city.

A few years later, City H is very likely to become a super first-tier city like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.

But if only from the economic point of view, City H is already satisfied, and it occupies a leading position in the development of science and technology. It is only the population, which is far inferior to the tens of millions of population cities in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, but the growth rate is extremely fast.

In order to ensure the quality of the urban population, H City ZF sets the standards for household registration in H City to benchmark Shencheng.

In the past few years, ordinary undergraduate graduates could directly settle in City H, but now it is no longer possible. It requires 985 undergraduate graduates or 211 graduate students, and they must be fresh graduates and work in City H for one year.

For a Ph.D., you can settle directly.

Mu Yang knows that there are many people who are very eager to enter Shencheng, mainly because they hope that their children will have an advantage in going to college in the future.

I never thought that there would be such a day when my company would affect the settlement standards of a city, Zhang Weishi and other ZF leaders came to ask for his opinion in person.

In fact, City H has no advantages in education. The only advantage in the future is to be able to get more in touch with advanced technological life.

Unless, you can enter Xinghai Group to work.

Therefore, what City H needs to do now is to put a lot of effort into education, and then improve the quality and level of its own education.

By investing a large amount of funds and resources to build first-class educational facilities, introduce first-class educational talents, strengthen cooperation with well-known universities at home and abroad, and continuously improve the level of local education and the influence of educational brands.

This does not only refer to universities and colleges, but also primary and secondary schools.

The Xinghai Group increases its funding for the University of Technology and Jiangsu-Zhejiang University every year. It wants to raise the level of these two institutions, especially the University of Technology. 211 will not be able to catch up, but it can strive to become a double first-class university.

On the other hand, strive to obtain the cooperation policies of other 985 institutions, such as increasing the number of admissions or reducing the number of admissions.

In other words, there are other educational policies to attract talents.

Only in this way can City H truly become a city that attracts outstanding talents, instead of just recruiting talents by restricting the conditions for settlement.

...

two days later,

Academician Wu Hui of SAIC called and told Muyang that the airworthiness certificate of C919 had been obtained, and production and delivery could finally begin.

"Congratulations to Academician Wu, after twists and turns, he finally succeeded in cultivation." Mu Yang joked.

"Haha, yes, Mr. Mu, I am very grateful for your support, and the success of C919 is inseparable from your help and support."

"Academician Wu, you are welcome. I also hope that C919 will fly into the blue sky and contribute more to the development of the country's aviation industry." Mu Yang felt very proud of being able to make his own contribution to this project.

The two talked for a while, then hung up the phone.

Mu Yang feels that the success of C919 is not only a product, but also represents the take-off and rise of the country's civil aviation industry.

Wu Hui's call also means that SAIC is preparing to place an order for civil aviation engines with Xinghai Group.

If it is delayed for another three years, Xinghai Group's advanced high-speed rail will definitely be developed and launched.

At present, Xinghai Group's high-level high-speed rail project is progressing well. The prototype vehicle has been manufactured and is ready to be tested on the built track.

The new high-level high-speed rail runs on the current ballastless track. Instead of changing the original specification track, new trains are developed, which are more stable, faster and more energy-efficient.

Muyang's original design requirements were that the operating speed could reach 500 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed could reach more than 600 kilometers.

This kind of advanced high-speed rail that does not change the original track has great advantages in technology and economy. It can achieve high-speed transportation at a relatively low cost, and it also provides an upgrade option for the existing high-speed rail system.

In the development of the high-speed rail industry, the application of this technology will play a positive role in promoting the entire industry to a higher level.

Of course, the development and promotion of new advanced high-speed rail is not an easy process, and many difficulties need to be overcome.

For example, the train's power, control system, braking system, etc. all need to be newly designed and developed to meet the requirements of high speed, safety, and comfort.

In addition, the safety of high-speed rail is also an important issue. Relevant departments need to strictly check to ensure the operation safety of the new advanced high-speed rail.

In short, the introduction and application of new advanced high-speed rail is of great significance to the improvement of my country's high-speed rail technology and industry.

"Forget it, let's let the C919 play for three years first, and then launch the advanced high-speed rail in 2019.

As for the vacuum tube maglev train, it will be launched two or three years later. "

Mu Yang thought to himself, take your time, anyway, he is not in a hurry.

Two days later,

Shanghai Aircraft Corporation sent a team to Xinghai Group to discuss the order of aero-engines.

The price is carried out according to the previous agreement. During this period, Shanghai Aircraft Company has negotiated with various civil aviation companies. These civil aviation companies promised that as long as Shanghai Aircraft Company obtains the airworthiness certificate, it will definitely place orders with Shanghai Aircraft Company first.

Expensive is a bit more expensive, but the fuel economy is good, and the overpayment is earned back in about three years, and the rest is extra earning, so why not do it.

A few days later, on March 1st,

City H in March is full of spring, with peach and cherry blossoms blooming in the wind, and the streets and alleys are filled with a faint fragrance of flowers.

The weather is also gradually warming up, with bright sunshine and pleasant temperatures.

Mu Yang likes this kind of weather for morning jogging, and also likes this kind of weather for radio gymnastics with Song Xuelu at night. It's neither hot nor cold, just right.

When having breakfast today, Mu Yang's mother asked him: "When can I move into the new villa?"

"Wait a little longer."

"Okay, otherwise, it would be troublesome for you to get up so early to go to the company every day. The Xinghai Building is still too high, and I always feel that it is not safe to live in it. I really don't know what you thought at the beginning." Ma Lan babbled with.

"Uh, maybe it was impulsive." Mu Yang smiled.

"Hehe, your impulsiveness has cost tens of billions. I heard that a skyscraper is also being built in Hong Kong City, with an investment of 50 billions?" Ma Lan complained, but felt proud.

"Yes, it is still under construction, and it will be put into use two years later."

After breakfast, Mu Yang wiped his mouth with a napkin, picked up his cell phone and prepared to go out.

Malan habitually warned: "Be careful when you go out, pay attention to safety, and ask the bodyguards not to drive so fast."

Mu Yang responded with a smile, "Don't worry, mom."

Before he went out, he caught a glimpse of a newspaper and magazine piled on the sofa, so he picked it up and read it in the car.

Unexpectedly, a headline caught his attention - "House prices in City H have soared, buyers are ecstatic!"

According to the article, in recent months, housing prices in the city have soared, and many people have taken the opportunity to buy real estate.

But not only in City H, housing prices have continued to rise sharply in the past two years.

What about three years later?

After 2022? Mu Yang didn't know the trend anymore.

However, the housing price has nothing to do with him. Now he reads the housing market report from a different angle.

When he came to the company, as usual, he drank a cup of hot tea and reviewed the company documents.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, I went to the biomedical laboratory on the 105th floor of Xinghai Building to develop Life No. 1.

The development of medicines, sometimes progressing to 99%, may be stuck for a lifetime;

Sometimes, it may progress to 80%, and suddenly it is developed.

Now, the development progress of Life No. 1 has reached 85%, but there has been no progress recently and it is stuck.

Today, Mu Yang struggled for half an hour, but still made no progress, so he went to the 101st floor to use the telescope to see the scenery.

On the West Lake, the lush cherry trees are full of tender pink flowers, showing the beauty of spring in the haze of the garden.

All of a sudden, Mu Yang was immersed in the beautiful scenery.

"Flowers, plants and trees, every new year, sprout new shoots, human cells are actually the same... When cells divide, telomeres will gradually shorten, leading to cell apoptosis or aging..."

Thinking of this, Mu Yang suddenly realized that Life No. 1 could be trial-produced like that.

Immediately put down the viewing binoculars and rush to the biomedical laboratory on the 105th floor.

Mu Yang is very confident this time, if it is really what he thinks, Life No. 1 may be successfully developed soon.

He couldn't wait to start performing experiments to continue exploring the properties and roles of telomeres using the latest cell division technology and the point he had just thought of.

after an hour,

He was excited to find that the newly developed samples could effectively prevent apoptosis and aging.

Over time, Life-1 samples grew stronger and healthier, and their cells divided faster and faster.

This is yesterday's update, there will be another update tonight
