As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 284
After Zheng Li taught Li Miaomiao magic, there will be a certain amount of small talk.

Li Miaomiao will usually share some news with Zheng Li, and exchange ideas by the way.

Zheng Li is very naive in many things, but in some respects he is extraordinarily sharp.

"The production data of Baosteel's smart factory in the first quarter has come out, whether it is from the stable operation rate of the factory, per capita steel output, and total steel output, there has been a substantial increase.

This data made Baosteel decide to transform the entire Baoshan base into a smart factory in the next three years.

Recently, we have been discussing specific cooperation matters with Huawei.

With the will of the above, and Baosteel's hope to become the benchmark enterprise of Huaguo Smart Manufacturing 2035, things are moving forward very quickly.

For Baosteel and even Shenhai, this is a remarkable achievement. "

Zheng Li asked: "If the entire Baoshan base is going to be remodeled, there should be higher requirements for information security, right?"

Previously, it was just a factory undergoing smart factory transformation, and the requirements for information security at the third level were sufficient.

However, the entire Baoshan base is all intelligent, and artificial intelligence takes over most of the steel production. If a few are carried out through industrial VR, then higher-level information security measures are required.

Otherwise, no one can bear the responsibility for production accidents caused by hacking, especially if it is an overseas hacker.

No accountability can be traced to an individual.

As for which party the overseas hackers belong to, it may not be possible to find out.

Li Miaomiao: "Yes, I have communicated with Huawei executives before, and the other party means that the entire Baoshan base should be physically isolated from the network.

Then do a complete LAN build on the inside.

This can not only solve the hidden dangers of information security, but also get rid of the interference of the external network and further reduce network delay.

Just to take down the Baoshan base, in three years, it is estimated that the whole project will have a general contract of [-] billion yuan.

More importantly, this is the best sign and case for Huawei. Even Baosteel has done it. Isn't it a piece of cake to do yours? "

Huaguo itself has written in the national strategic plan for the beginning of 2022 that the whole country needs to concentrate its strength. For example, the steel industry only needs to retain a few super-large enterprises to teach it.

The general meaning is that the steel industry needs to be consolidated, and in fact Huaguo is doing the same.

From the merger of Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel in 16, to the transfer of the equity of local iron and steel enterprises such as Maanshan Iron and Steel, Taiyuan Iron and Steel, and Shandong Iron and Steel to Sinosteel for free.

Anshan Iron and Steel Group and Benxi Iron and Steel Group merged and reorganized, and Fangda Group reorganized Dazhou Iron and Steel, Pingshan Iron and Steel, and Fangda Special Steel.

A series of events are showing that the integration of the steel industry is accelerating.

The will of the country is fully reflected in this heavy industry field.

And if Baosteel can set an example in the smart steel industry, other large steel groups will follow suit.

The transformation of Huaguo's overall steel industry alone is enough to make a lot of money for food.

More importantly, Huawei's smart industry team can use this as an entry point to enter more manufacturing industries.

From iron and steel, it can be cut to the coal chemical industry, and then the coal chemical industry is followed by the chemical industry, and the chemical industry is followed by petroleum.

The above is only an idealized development, and things have never been so smooth.

The smart transformation of steel is only the first step in the smart transformation of Huaguo's manufacturing industry. The cake for Huaguo's manufacturing industry upgrade is too big. I'm staring at it.

In fact, Baosteel has been committed to the intelligent production of steel. As early as five years ago, the number of Baosteel employees decreased from 19 in 52323 to 21 in 45405 years.

The number of layoffs is almost [-].

Corresponding to Baosteel's downsizing is a substantial increase in revenue and profit, revenue increased from 2924 billion to 3653 billion, and profit increased from 138.7 billion to 264.55 billion.

Baosteel was able to reduce so many employees in 2021 because they promoted robots to replace manual operations at that time, and the robots they promoted at that time were called Baoluo robots.

The cooperation between Baosteel and Huawei worked very well this time, which made the helm of Baosteel decide to gradually promote the combination of artificial intelligence, robots and industrial VR to replace human labor in the next five years.

They want to reduce the number of employees from 45000 to less than 10000.

What is cost reduction and efficiency increase?Technological progress is the most favorable means to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

"Just the smart transformation of the domestic steel industry, this track is too imaginative, not just imagination, it has already realized part of the benefits.

This piece of cake, other Internet giants will definitely not be able to watch Huawei's family eat it.

According to the information I got from Ahri executives, their cooperation project with Panzhihua Iron and Steel will also start production in the first half of this year.

Rice chose not to compete with them in the steel industry, but instead focused on the smart manufacturing of rice cars.

When I went to Yanjing for a meeting, Brother Lei invited me to dinner and listened to his introduction.

They hope to reduce the production cost of rice cars to the same level as Tesla through artificial intelligence processing industry VR. "

Zheng Li: "When I go from the R&D center to the headquarters office building for meetings, I take the rice car.

In terms of ride comfort, the rice car is good.

Are they profitable now? "

Li Miaomiao replied: "Not yet, and there is still a long way to go before making a profit. If I remember correctly, the total loss of Rice Auto last year was about 20 billion RMB.

Once the manufacturing costs and marketing costs are suppressed, it will soon be able to turn losses into profits.

It's just that the prices of bulk commodities around the world have risen sharply in the past two years, especially materials related to new energy have skyrocketed.

The price of lithium carbonate is about to skyrocket.

Costs are not easy to keep down.

I basically know the team of Dami Automobile, and there is no problem in ability. Sometimes, starting a business really needs to see if it has stepped on the wind. "

When you are an executive, you will find that it is very easy to meet people. No matter where you go, someone will hand you a business card to introduce yourself, and even after he has finished the introduction, someone will give you a supplementary introduction.

For example, Li Miaomiao went to Dami Auto for an exchange. During the exchange, the senior management team of Dami Auto introduced themselves one by one. Lei Jun would also talk about the personal situation, personality characteristics and resumes of each executive.

"What about the goose factory? What's the current situation of the goose factory?" Zheng Li asked curiously.

Zheng Li has experienced the Huanyu-Pengcheng developed by Goose Factory, which is somewhat similar to the virtual city he built in the Mage League.

Since the Mage Union cannot put everyone on one network for communication, it adopts a method similar to a local area network.

The area under the jurisdiction of the Mage Tower shares a net.

Basically every mage tower will have its own virtual city.

As a god of law, Zheng Li has also seen many virtual cities with various styles.

It is relatively rare to bring a real city almost intact into the virtual world.

What Zheng Li didn't expect was that virtual real estate can also be sold for money.

Virtual currency existed in the Middle Ages of the Mage Alliance, but he had never seen virtual real estate.

Whether it is real currency or virtual currency, currency itself has no value, so it is easy to understand the transition from real currency to virtual currency.

But real estate and virtual real estate are not the same concept at all. Zheng Li was very curious after hearing about how to assign value.

Later, after communicating with Li Miaomiao, he knew that virtual real estate was given value through online education, but Zheng Li still felt that the price was too expensive.

In Zheng Li's perception, knowledge is the most valuable, but in Blue Star the price of the latest book of Nature is only tens of meters.

It is also easy to find free electronic document downloads, that is, free of charge.

Li Miaomiao replied: "Because the money coming in from VR is so fast, they put most of their energy into the construction of the metaverse ecology.

Although the Industrial Internet is also being promoted, it seems that there is only a very small amount of effort.

After I communicated with them, except for the field of VR, there are very few resources available in other fields.

Traditional WeChat and game teams still have a certain amount of resource inclination, and there are not many voices in directions that are not popular like the industrial Internet.

Probably because they don't intend to get involved in this muddy water. "

"In the beginning, the industrial Internet was not their main business, but now they have finally found the direction of the next-generation Internet revolution, and they must concentrate their efforts.

I went to the press conference held by Goose Factory before, and after the end, the vice president of Goose Factory also said that he could give me a set of virtual real estate in Huanyu-Pengcheng. "

Zheng Li: "I can't understand why such a high price of virtual real estate has been snatched up in less than two days."

Li Miaomiao explained: "In human history, value has been given to things that have no value since ancient times.

From the earliest shells to later precious metals, to currency and virtual currency, these are the values ​​​​given by humans.

The same is true for virtual real estate. Human consensus gives it value. To put it more darkly, it is capital that gives it value.

All kinds of meaningless things are given value. The more such things, the more obvious the gap between the rich and the poor in the world.

Capital harvests by assigning value to what has no meaning.

BTC can be worth 7000 yuan, while the spot price of copper futures is only 7 yuan. One BTC can be exchanged for [-] tons of copper. The actual value of the two cannot be equated at all.

In fact, our current food production is enough to feed 70 billion people in the world. These deliberately assigned values ​​​​are to allow society to be divided into more classes.

Just like an online game, more and more props come out for players to classify.But in fact, there are always only two categories-players and game manufacturers.

Manufacturers sell their designed props to players in various ways, forming a distinction between players.

Assets such as cryptocurrencies, funds, bonds, and equity are all game props.

Virtual real estate is so expensive and still people buy it. The real essence is that capital has this demand and needs a new type of asset. It just so happens that Goose Factory caters to this demand. "
