Siheyuan: I am protecting Shazhu, who dares to object?

After successfully coping with the challenges of international market expansion, Guangming Factory did not rest on its laurels, but instead set its sights on the more distant future, that is, technological innovation and sustainable development.

Wang Dashan knows very well that in today's rapidly developing era, only by continuously promoting technological innovation and achieving sustainable development can Guangming Factory remain invincible in the fierce market competition and make greater contributions to global agricultural development.

On that day, Wang Dashan invited several technical backbones and experts from the factory to hold a special seminar on technological innovation and sustainable development in the conference room of the R&D center.

The conference room is filled with various advanced technology equipment models and research and development materials. The atmosphere is warm and full of expectations for the future.

Wang Dashan spoke first, "Comrades, although we have made good achievements in the research and development and promotion of new tractors, we cannot stand still. The world is now paying attention to sustainable development, and the field of agricultural machinery is no exception. We must think about how to achieve energy conservation and emission reduction and reduce the impact on the environment while ensuring product performance. At the same time, we must continue to introduce new technologies to improve the intelligence and automation level of products. Everyone, tell me, what directions can we explore at present?"

Expert Zhao from the R&D department pushed up his glasses and said, "Director, I think we can start with the power system. At present, our tractors still mainly rely on traditional fuel engines. Although we have made a lot of optimizations in fuel efficiency, there are still certain environmental pollution problems. We can consider developing a new hybrid power system, such as combining solar energy, electrical energy and fuel energy, and automatically switching power sources according to different operating environments and needs. This can not only improve energy utilization efficiency, but also reduce carbon emissions."

Qian, a technical backbone beside him, also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, what Expert Zhao said is right. And we can further study the intelligentization. Artificial intelligence technology is developing very rapidly now. We can use artificial intelligence to realize the functions of automatic driving and automatic operation planning of tractors. For example, tractors can automatically plan the best operation route according to the terrain of the farmland, crop types and other information, which can improve the operation efficiency and reduce human operation errors."

After listening to everyone's speeches, Wang Dashan's eyes flashed with excitement. He felt that these ideas were very promising.

He said: "Everyone has very broad ideas, and these directions are worth our in-depth exploration. So we will start with the two aspects of hybrid power system and intelligence, and set up two special R&D teams to be responsible for the research and development of these two technologies respectively."

After the meeting, the hybrid system R&D team and the intelligent R&D team were quickly established and engaged in intensive R&D work.

The members of the hybrid powertrain development team faced many challenges.

They need to solve problems such as how to effectively combine solar energy, electrical energy and fuel energy, how to design a reasonable power switching system, and how to ensure that the performance of the tractor is not affected during the switching process between different power sources.

Team leader Li led the team members to consult a large amount of information and conduct countless experiments.

They conducted a comprehensive study on aspects ranging from the selection and installation location of solar panels, to the capacity and charging speed of energy storage devices, to the coordinated working mechanism of fuel engines and electric systems.

During one test, when they tried to switch the power source, the tractor suddenly experienced a brief power outage, which made everyone very anxious.

Team leader Li frowned and said, "Don't worry, this shows that there are still problems in the design of the power switching system. We need to carefully analyze the data from this test, find out where the problem lies, and then make targeted adjustments."

After repeated analysis and adjustments, they finally succeeded in solving the problem of power interruption and gradually improved the design of the hybrid power system.

At the same time, the intelligent R&D team is also working intensively.

If they want to realize functions such as automatic driving and automatic operation planning of tractors, they need a large number of sensors to collect information such as the terrain and crop types of the farmland, and they also need to develop an advanced intelligent control system to process this information and make corresponding decisions.

Team leader Zhang led the team members deep into the farmland to conduct on-site tests on the performance and accuracy of various sensors.

They found that in some complex terrains and special weather conditions, the data collected by some sensors would be biased, which would affect the decision-making accuracy of the intelligent control system.

Team leader Zhang said: "We need to optimize the sensors to address these problems and improve their acquisition accuracy in complex environments. At the same time, we also need to develop a data correction algorithm to correct the collected deviation data in real time to ensure that the intelligent control system can make correct decisions based on accurate information."

After several months of hard work, the intelligent R&D team also made a major breakthrough.

They have successfully developed an intelligent control system based on artificial intelligence, which can accurately collect various information about farmland and automatically plan the best operation route based on this information, realizing the automatic driving and automatic operation planning functions of the tractor.

When the two R&D teams presented their results to Wang Dashan and other management in the factory, everyone was very excited.

Wang Dashan looked at the newly developed hybrid power system and intelligent control system and said with satisfaction: "Comrades, you have done a great job! The breakthroughs of these two technologies will bring new competitiveness to our products and also take a solid step towards our sustainable development goals."

However, technological innovation is only the first step. To apply these new technologies to actual products and achieve large-scale production, a series of production process and cost control issues need to be resolved.

Wang Dashan also organized a production process improvement meeting, requiring employees in the production department to work closely with R&D personnel to optimize the production process and ensure the smooth production of new tractors with new technologies.

Manager Sun from the production department said, "Director, to produce tractors with these new technologies, we need to upgrade some production equipment, which requires a certain amount of investment. Moreover, the application of new technologies may lead to longer production cycles and increased costs. We need to find ways to control costs and improve production efficiency."

Wang Dashan said: "I know this is a difficult problem, but we can't give up just because of the difficulty. We can first formulate a detailed cost control plan, starting from raw material procurement, production process optimization, equipment utilization improvement and other aspects to reduce costs as much as possible. At the same time, we must arrange the production plan reasonably to avoid too long a production cycle."

Under the guidance of Wang Dashan, the production department worked closely with R&D personnel and, after a period of hard work, successfully optimized the production process, controlled costs, and achieved large-scale production of new tractors with new technologies.

As new tractors applying new technologies are launched into the market, they have been warmly welcomed by customers.

Farmers and dealers who pay attention to environmental protection and intelligent operations are particularly fond of this tractor.

After trying out the tractor, Carl, a farmer from Europe, said excitedly: "This tractor is great! Its hybrid system allows me to save fuel costs and reduce the impact on the environment during operation. And its intelligent control system is really convenient. I only need to set the operating parameters and it can automatically complete the operation, which greatly improves my work efficiency."

As a result, Guangming Factory’s sales performance has been significantly improved and its market share has been further expanded.

But Wang Dashan did not let his guard down because he knew very well that sustainable development is not just about technological innovation and product sales, but also about corporate social responsibility.

He decided to carry out a series of environmental education activities in the factory to enhance employees' environmental awareness and make every employee realize their important role in sustainable development.

Wang Dashan said at the general staff meeting: "Comrades, although we have achieved good results in technological innovation and product promotion, we must not forget our social responsibility. We must start with ourselves, from every production link, to reduce waste, reduce energy consumption, and contribute our strength to protecting the environment."

The factory immediately launched environmental protection knowledge lectures, energy conservation and emission reduction competitions and other activities. Employees actively participated and their environmental awareness was significantly improved.

At the same time, Guangming Factory also actively participates in social welfare activities, such as donating agricultural machinery to farmers in some poor areas to help them improve agricultural production efficiency and improve living conditions.

During a donation event, Wang Dashan personally delivered a new tractor to a small village in a remote mountainous area.

The old village chief said excitedly: "Director Wang, thank you so much! Our small village has always been very poor, and agricultural production relies entirely on manpower, which is very inefficient. With this tractor, we can reclaim more land, plant more crops, and our lives will gradually get better."

Wang Dashan said: "Old village chief, this is what we should do. We hope that through our efforts, more farmers can benefit and we can make our contribution to global agricultural development."
