Chapter 3082

The rumbling machines seemed to never stop. As the yellow light in the workshop turned on, the last part to be assembled on the assembly line was transported from the conveyor belt.

The workers who had been busy for six hours on the assembly line spontaneously began to applaud and cheer. Under their gaze, the last part was installed on a whole machine by a worker. After testing that it could be used normally, the day's work was over.

It was just a day's work for these workers, not for the entire factory.

They began to check whether they had anything left at their posts. After ensuring that nothing should have happened, everyone signed their names in the line leader's register and left in an orderly manner.

After they left, the workers who had been waiting outside the door for a while and were chatting began to enter the production workshop, and their expressions became heavy and serious.

No matter who faced six hours of high-intensity physical labor, it was impossible to talk and laugh.

When they had the mind to talk about something, it was already six hours later.

The factory would not stop for too long because of the shift change, and they had to get into production as soon as possible.

More things to build cities, robots, industrial products, all need to be sent to other planets, plus the needs of the Earth, almost all factories are fully loaded.

Although it is hard, people will not complain.

Having a job and being busy means a stable income and a stable life.

A worker stood at his work station and checked the various tools at his work station, such as welding guns.

After ensuring that these things can work properly, he signed his signature on the registration book of the line leader who came over, confirming that he has arrived at the post and can enter the work.

As the yellow light in the workshop began to flash, everyone's attention became focused.

The conveyor belt that stopped for a while started running again after a huge crash, and the yellow indicator light also jumped to green, and various parts appeared on the conveyor belt.

The workers began to work busily. They mechanically and numbly picked up one part after another, spliced ​​them together independently or in cooperation, and then quickly completed the welding work and put it back on the assembly line.

It will be transmitted to the next working group, and they will complete the next steps until it is finally sent to the quality inspection workshop to complete the quality inspection.

No one had time to talk, or even to look elsewhere. The speed of the conveyor belt seemed slow at first glance.

But when there was a job to be done, it seemed to become happy.

The not-so-quiet workshop was full of working sounds, knocking sounds, the squeaking of electric sparks, the sound of air pumps pressurizing or jetting...

There were many sounds here, but no one was talking.

It was not too hot here, and there were many ventilation equipment to ensure the coolness here, but soon people began to sweat.

In the busyness, people's spirits and physical strength had begun to become tired, and it became difficult to maintain the initial speed, and the speed of the conveyor belt also dropped a lot.

When the green light began to flash, the workers who had been numb for six hours had a little eager smile on their faces.

When there were no more parts on the conveyor belt, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Another six hours, no lunch or dinner or breakfast, no food supplies, no rest, no human touch.

They had to leave after work.

After checking the tools of all positions according to the process, the workers left the workshop.

"I heard they have a new thing that can speed up the factory's work efficiency."

After working for six hours, the workers were very tired, but they were happy to say something at this time.

They took their clothes and walked into the factory's shower room, which might be one of the few free services provided to them by the factory.

"What is it?"

Someone responded.

"Robotic arm." The guy who was most informed couldn't help but show off the gossip he heard, which might be a very happy thing for the workers.

The fun of sharing gossip is not in sharing, but in showing off one's connections with higher-level people through sharing.

There was some water mist in the shower room, and the men took off their clothes and stood under the shower, washing their sweaty bodies.

"The factory where I worked before had a robotic arm, but that thing won't bring us much improvement."

A worker who had been silent at first spoke up at this time, "I'm from...factory, you should know that company, we produce large-scale construction machinery."

"Capitalists always think that our work is inefficient, and they are convinced by some salesmen that they actually believe in something as impossible as an automated assembly line."

"And even if it can really do it, there will be someone who makes it impossible!"

The man wiped the water droplets on his face, "Don't forget, we are workers, the largest group!"

"Unless they find us new jobs, they won't do it."

The relatively open political environment in the Federation and even in most parts of the world has made many people regard discussing politics as a means of entertainment, which has made many people have their own views on policy changes.

They have their own way of interpretation and their own political wisdom. If nothing unexpected happens, what this person said is not wrong at all.

If the automated assembly line is really born, the first thing to consider is how to solve the problem that tens of millions of workers may lose their jobs?

This is not an easy thing for any government, region, or enterprise to deal with.

If so many people are out of work, society will become more turbulent.

Although people only spend six hours in the factory every day, now, these six hours are enough to drain the energy and physical strength of most people, leaving them no time to wander around in society.

Many people agree with this view, but some people have opposing views. Anything that may have conflicts and differences cannot reach a consensus in the men's bathroom.

In addition to the men's bathroom, there are two other places, one is the toilet and the other is Congress.

After taking a free bath, the workers returned home. One of the workers habitually turned on the TV and played the news.

The middle-aged and elderly workers like to watch the news the most, because it is related to their future work and life issues. They have no risk resistance to changes in life, so they hope to discover it before problems arise.

"...The first fully automated assembly line has been built. Mr. Connor, Vice Chairman of the Global Communication Board of Directors, together with the Minister of Industry, the Minister of Information Science and Technology and other specialists visited and toured..."

Originally, the worker was still complaining that the cucumber-flavored fried mushrooms were a bit weak and not so delicious, but at this time his attention was completely attracted by the content on TV.

On the TV screen, an assembly line without workers was working at a speed that the workers could not understand.

The robotic arms can easily pick up large parts that seem to weigh hundreds of kilograms without the help of tools such as traction ropes or hanging ropes, and then complete all welding and installation work at a speed that humans cannot do with the cooperation of several robotic arms.

The workflow on the entire assembly line looks like an art display, full of artistry!

But, it also makes people feel full of despair!

The worker has no appetite. Even if he is actually very hungry, the fragrance in the kitchen cannot attract him. He stares at the screen and can't even hear his wife asking him to go over and prepare dinner.

"All robotic arms use the latest operating architecture. They are different from the automatic robotic arms of the past and can work more flexibly."

"From our current review of the work results of the assembly line, the scrap rate of this assembly line is less than 0.5%, and the efficiency is more than 10 times that of human employees."

"The monthly expenses of each robotic arm, as well as losses, are about 600 yuan..."

The worker breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but then he couldn't breathe back!

Because he suddenly realized that the assembly line in the factory is now in four shifts, so the actual monthly expenditure for one position is about 900 yuan.

But this robotic arm only costs 600 yuan.

This means that companies must have updated their ideas.

There are many people who have such views, and there are also many pessimistic people.

Early the next morning, he ran to the factory, and it turned out that many people had come to the factory.

Many workers, grassroots cadres, and middle-level cadres came.

They all watched the news last night and felt uneasy.

Although some cadres said that if the factory decided to buy an automated assembly line, they would tell them in advance, and there was a high probability that they would not do so.

But most workers did not believe this!

If one worker saves 300 yuan, more than 1,000 workers can save more than 300,000 yuan a month. On this basis, the production efficiency and qualified rate of the products will be further improved.

Factories, capitalists, there is no reason to refuse!

Everyone seemed worried all day long. At noon, the boss of the factory came in person to calm everyone's emotions.

He told everyone that no matter what happened elsewhere, they would not use robotic arms here.

Because this is a humane enterprise, the cold automated assembly line does not conform to the boss's production philosophy.

The workers looked at the emotional boss and said what seemed to be heartfelt words, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but many people still seemed very uneasy.

Breakthroughs in science and technology will inevitably be applied to all aspects of society.

Even if they will not be replaced by machines now, it is only a matter of time before they are replaced!
