Behind the scenes technology company

Chapter 111 The National Factory Project
The "Factory for All" plan is precisely to make up for the defects of the new factory system and a new ecology born of different customer groups.This is another complex and sophisticated project, and the corresponding policy formulation needs the help of the state.However, the personal system is not a system whose main purpose is production capacity. In fact, it should be counted as a system within the social security system.

Just like the "Skynet" project, it is impossible to complete this huge project with behind-the-scenes technology alone, because it does not mean that a small personal factory can be built and put into use.It can be said that in the entire plan, all the behind-the-scenes technology can do is the research and development and construction of equipment, and many helpers are needed to complete more aspects.

"It's another big plan. In fact, I also have the same idea, but it's too early for the company. If it starts now, it's like playing with fire." Su Qian said to Wei.

"I don't want to, but if the unemployment problem is not solved as soon as possible, how will the company's next step in the application of mechanization across the industry. With automation and mechanization, it can be said that manual labor basically no longer exists, and simple repetitive tasks will all be replaced by machines. , We cannot afford the huge unemployed population, the advancement of personal factories must start now, so that every family has such a family factory, which can at least maintain the basic life of each family.”

"Indeed, if the people have no income, it means the collapse of the sales side. Fortunately, the society is still stable at present, and the problem of the explosion of production capacity for the whole people needs to be solved. This plan is too risky, and I don't agree with it." Su Qian prefers The state controls unemployment through relief and employment redistribution, and waits and sees in the early stage.

"After so many years, you also know that promotion is not that fast, especially this time's sales model. People have to buy first before they can gradually make profits. This is no different from investing. The only difference is that the real thing may be at home. Let everyone feel more at ease, the sales volume is definitely not as crazy as those factory owners."

"No, although the social situation is stable, people's hearts are uneasy. If you launch it at this time, the sales volume will definitely not be bad, and it will be higher than expected, and it will trigger a wave of panic buying."

"I have a complete plan. You will all take a look at it in a meeting. Then I will submit it to the state for review. If the state does not agree, then we will adopt your plan." Without further meaningless arguments, Wei Lai directly It was decided.

"Well, let's try to perfect your plan first, but I'm still not very optimistic about it. If you can't pass it internally, isn't it a joke to give it to the country? What's more, I don't expect to achieve the results you want in the short term. But Quanmin Factory, have you calculated how many resources and metals are needed for equipment production?"

"It's not going to be sold out in one day. Old Su, times have changed, understand? What does mechanization represent? It means that workers disappear, and there is no more manual labor! We can only go one way to the dark, and the whole world will use us Our system, our robots, obviously cannot keep up with education and welfare now, if we don’t want to fall down in the new era, we must assume a corporate social responsibility and provide brand-new occupations and positions.”

"The world needs balance. Whether it's production or consumption, your ideas are too ideal." Su Qian said, "Don't you know that milk is poured into the river in Lighthouse Country? Coal workers are unemployed because of excessive coal production, and they can't afford it after they lose their jobs. Don’t you know the example of coal?”

"Look at my plans, I've thought of them all. All we need right now is time."

Regarding the production capacity problem mentioned by Su Qian, Wei Lai is quite confident in his plan.The core of the whole plan is to build a personal factory system, and the main components of the system are three parts: equipment, database and supercomputing center.The equipment is the part that can be solved by behind-the-scenes technology. The database and supercomputing center need the help of the state.

The equipment of the personal factory is the machine that can carry out various production and manufacturing in the hands of each user. The machine is composed of the user's operating system and different hardware. This is the first difficulty in the whole plan. The unified operating system consists of multiple For the production and manufacture of functional machines, it is required that the machine can be changed and assembled with various modules, so that it can be applied in the whole industry and in various fields.

At first glance, it seems that comprehensiveness is an impossible goal. Different industries require different sizes of machines, and also have different accuracy requirements and material requirements. Needless to say, the more detailed requirements can be divided from the simplest solid, liquid, and gaseous states. , there are many requirements for the entire equipment. The first step for a personal factory is to create a universal factory.

It is said to be a factory, but in fact it is essentially a universal manufacturing machine.The universal manufacturing machine is not as difficult as we thought. With the efficient production capacity and technology of large factories not being disclosed, there is no market for universal manufacturing machines. It is not a problem of overcapacity, but that more people cannot afford it. .

There are two existing universal manufacturing machine solutions in front of Wei Lai. One technology is mainly based on machine form transformation, and the other technology is mainly based on operation within the use space.

With a machine, you also need a system that can operate.To promote to the whole people means that the difficulty of use and operation must be easy to use.Ease of use means that the entire manufacturing machine needs strong computing power to replace people to complete complex and tedious work, and gather simple instructions for one-click production.

It can be said that the user end of a personal factory is a computer with manufacturing functions. The existing technology behind the scenes is not capable of manufacturing, and a lot of research and development of different technologies are still needed.

Just like the development of a factory, the production line with a single function and a single product allows various industries to flourish, and the continuous and meticulous division of different production industries is to continuously add to the original basis.Personal factories are completely different, and the multi-functional characteristics require continuous subtraction operations to integrate the production of multiple industries and fields.

This is a great challenge to the behind-the-scenes technology, but even if such a machine is produced, there is a necessary prerequisite, the opening of the technical database.Each product has different specifications and different drawings, not to mention how many people understand these, even if the manufacturing drawings can be obtained, the public technology is still elementary technology.The molded products that can be seen on the market now have gone through countless rounds of technical optimization and replacement. It can be said that the products produced by the manufacturing machine have no advantages, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as waste products.

Will businesses be willing to use their years of research efforts for use in personal factory systems?It’s impossible to make it free, and no company would even cut off an arm and come up with its own technology without enough interest from the merchants.

The same is true for Wei Lai. Whether it is "hope", photovoltaic power generation, or the superconducting technology currently being promoted, the technology provided by the behind-the-scenes technology to the country will charge high licensing fees. This is why the behind-the-scenes technology has never worried about funds. , The state also uses various payment methods to help behind-the-scenes technology growth.

Assuming that there are technical materials and manufacturing machines now, then there is another extremely critical issue, which is how to solve the production capacity. The value of commodities is different, and people rush to produce and manufacture high-value products, causing big problems.High priced products are costly, there is an overcapacity of goods, there is a backlog of products that cannot be sold, everyone is losing money, and the basic cheap products are not sold, which is the real disaster.

High-value products are often composed of more components. The homogeneity of products leads to vicious competition, which drives down the prices of related parts and components of the entire product, and ultimately harms the entire product assembly line.If it is not controlled, people are like locusts crossing the border, harming an industry. The "locusts" that suffered heavy losses in the early stage but survived will continue to target the next industry, eventually leading to the collapse of the entire economy.

The supercomputing center is a management terminal that exists for commercial management and control. In order to achieve more convenient management and control, it gathers various commodities in the global market. It needs to calculate and limit production capacity and set corresponding values ​​for each product. This is The truly incomparably huge amount of data and calculations, how much capacity each product requires, how much each machine can produce, and whether the product market is saturated, all require dynamic calculations.

It can be said that such a supercomputing center needs to master not only the production side, but also the sales side, and learn to predict market changes.
