The wide application of robots is definitely the future trend of industrial development.I had never seen an actual industrial robot, and I couldn’t imagine what an industrial robot could do.But after visiting the lab of the Fulang and Fei Society, I suddenly felt that robots were inevitable in replacing workers.

Our country's low labor costs, it seems that we can not consider this problem, but this is also because the robot technology in Western countries is still in the early stages of development, the cost is too high, can not be compared with our labor costs.If they develop another 30 years, the cost of robots will be lower than the cost of our workers, and then we will be completely uncompetitive.To compete with robots with human power is to use spears against tanks.”

Yang Haifan said to Feng Xiaochen with a serious look.

Feng Zhichen's face also sank, slowly saying: "And, in fact, with the continuous development of our country's economy, labor costs will also rise."At that time, we had no hope.”

“That is it.”Yang Haifan said, "I have been thinking that our country's enterprises may not need robots at present, but the research on robots must start immediately and cannot fall behind others."I even think that if our construction machinery company has some profits, it should come up with a small amount of money to do research on robots, even if it is just to make a welding robot for our own company, it is a success."

Feng Xiaochen said: "This is no problem, in fact, construction machinery and robots are not contradictory."At present, some countries already have special barrier-clearing robots and demining robots, which are used in high-risk areas of construction machinery, and we can start from this aspect."

Demining robots?This is good!”Yang Haifan's eyes lit up, "Wing Chen, you don't say I really forgot."When I was a child, I looked at the demineing heroes in the comics, and I thought at that time that if we could build a robot to clear the mine, our heroes would not have sacrificed?Now think about it, think it's not difficult, it's really an intelligent construction machinery."

“You don’t want to do that when you get back, do you?”Feng asked with some consternation.

Yang Haifan smiled slightly and said, “Why not?We are making a contribution to our children, what is wrong?”

“However, there are too many technical links involved in this.Zhang is a mechanical expert, we have always been engaged in machinery in the past, not familiar with the electronic aspect.If you want to engage in robots, at least you have to take an electronic team, where do people come from?”

"We contribute to the children's soldiers, please the military and we work together to tackle the problem."There are too many people in the military who do electronics, much better than local technology.”Yang Haifan said with course.

“You mean...” Feng Xiaochen said half of it and laughed.He pointed to Yang Haifan and said, "Sea sail, you really broke down, I really think you are patriotic heart explosion, want to help the army to make some contribution, who knows your real intention is here."

Yang Haifan was exposed by Feng Xiaochen's mind, but also a little embarrassed, he argued: "I was trying to help the troops do something, and later found that this matter is good for us, this is not the kind you always say... win-win?" 」

Yang Haifan did not lie.He began to propose that he could help the military develop demining robots, which is indeed some thoughts of contributing to the army, which is also an instinctive idea of a young person born under the red flag.But when the idea was born, he suddenly found that the matter was also good for his future construction machinery company, and even the benefits he got far more than the military.

To develop engineering machinery, electronic technology is essential.Traditional machinery is generally used hydraulic components to achieve control and information transmission, but modern machinery has increasingly used electronic equipment to achieve these functions.To develop intelligent devices like robots is certainly only a long-term plan, but at least some functions such as electronic sensing and electronic control must be in the future products of Chenyu Company.

Yang Haifan is a doer, since Feng Xiaochen talked to him about the idea of production construction machinery, he is comprehensively considering the obstacles that need to be solved.Zhang Guodong's joining has enough protection in the mechanical technology of Chenyu Company, but Zhang Guodong is only a mechanical expert, not an electronic expert, and the bottleneck in electronic technology still plagues Yang Haifan.

If you can use the opportunity to help the military develop demining robots and contact the military's electronic technicians, then the company has a solid backing in electronic technology.Among the various industrial technologies, electronic technology is probably the biggest short board in China, and the gap with foreign countries is far greater than that of other aspects.But this situation is mainly manifested in the civilian field, and the technology that the military has is still very strong.

It’s a bit like a former Soviet joke that electronics engineers can receive electronic signals in Moscow as far away as the South Pacific, but can’t see Moscow TV.The root cause is that the state has invested its technological forces in the military field, and the civilian field has been neglected.

In the early 1980s, China's technical level in radar, radio communication and other aspects was very good, and the galactic computer developed by the National Defense University could also rank among the world's supercomputers.Can be in the civil electronics technology, it is very embarrassing, TV manufacturers are imported from abroad production lines, a variety of components are also heavily dependent on imports.It is difficult to have several integrated circuit production lines, or the introduction of second-hand equipment from Japan, the level lags behind several generations abroad.

In this case, finding a reason to help troops develop equipment and getting support from the military in electronic technology is indeed a “win-win” option.In this way, it seems that Yang Haifan originally put forward this idea, that is, to occupy the military cheap thinking, how not to embarrass Yang Haifan.

Feng Xiaochen still quite understood Yang Haifan's people, how much can restore Yang Haifan's heart, know that his original intention is good, from a good original intention, but also led to better results.He couldn't help but feel in his heart that Pujiang people were indeed smart people, so something, Yang Haifan could come up with a result that was good for everyone, and it was really difficult.

“We have to talk to the military about this, and people don’t necessarily want to cooperate with us.”Feng Xiaochen said.

Yang Haifan smiled, "Wowling, I believe you have this way."

Feng Xiaochen laughed and did not talk, and his heart was wondering how to get involved with the military.The military industry is a very large system, which concentrates a considerable part of the country's industrial manufacturing capacity, and it is also the most cutting-edge.When he was working in the reinstallation, he considered how to borrow part of the capabilities of the military industrial system to promote the development of civil industry, but he did not find the right opportunity for a while.

During this period, the state has not yet begun to put forward the policy of military to civilian use, and military-industrial enterprises have always been regarded as units that need strict confidentiality, and do not have much contact with localities.However, with the prophetic vision of Feng Xiaochen, knowing that it will not be long before the state will put forward a policy of temporary patience for the army, and the days of the military-industrial system will become very sad, when a large number of military enterprises will turn to civilian production.At that time, I am afraid that it was not Feng Xiaochen who went to ask for help from military enterprises, but the military enterprises rushed to ask Feng Xiaochen to find them a bowl of rice to eat.

In the process of the transformation of military enterprises in that period, there have been a lot of loss of talents and technology, and it is a pity to think of it afterwards.If history can come back again, the country can do better in this regard, at least retain some talents, and these talents can play an important role after the improvement of the economic situation of other countries.

Since fate sends itself back to this era, does not it just allow itself to change this history?It seems that even if I go to the Academy of Social Sciences to graduate school, I still have to spend some energy in industrial management, I must not refuse?

This little episode went through like this.In the following days, accompanied by Peman, Feng Xiaochen and Yang Haifan visited other research institutions and enterprises, and saw many things that opened their eyes.

At the Technical University of Munich, they visited the design department of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and saw that the students were using computer-aided design methods for mechanical design, and the computer could not only draw graphics under the control of the operator, but also synchronize the working hours and costs required for the processing of parts, and put forward suggestions for the optimal cost of the parts structure.

At the University of Technology in Braunschweig, they visited the Institute of Precision Mechanics and Regulation Technology to see how experts study mask devices in semiconductor devices and fast-moving small valves used in precision instruments, and so on.

Yang Haifan is hungry to record everything he sees, and in his mind he calculates what the future of Chenyu should do, and what needs to be done in China to find partners together.In this regard, Feng Xiaochen's mentality is more peaceful, he has seen far more technology than these days to visit, he thinks more of the current Western technology and what shortcomings, whether he can use a traversal's prophet's vision to get some benefits.

"Mr. Feng, Mr. Yang, this is the enterprise we want to refer to today, Pu Mei Company."It is one of the most well-known construction machinery companies in Germany and is also famous in the entire European market.Its most competitive product is the concrete pump truck, which last month delivered a 62-meter armband pump truck, the longest in the world to date.Because the long arm of the pump truck is like an elephant's nose, the industry calls the company "elephant."

When Peman led Feng Xiaochen into a large factory, he envied the company’s fame.
