Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 481 Leave it to you
"In the final analysis, mechanical efficiency will be higher than human efficiency."

"It's not just industry, it's also true in agriculture. A rice transplanting vehicle is always faster than a person using a cow."

"Many factories hire people simply because the cost of people is lower than that of assembly lines."

"Moreover, the quality of the assembly lines themselves varies greatly. The cost of designing an assembly line that can truly maximize efficiency is something that many small and medium-sized workshops are unwilling to bear."

“Plus, there are definitely some steps where people are better than machines.”

"The assembly line has a very difficult problem. Once a mistake is made, it will lead to a series of mistakes, which is also a cost."

"All automation has only two purposes: standardization and high efficiency."

"If the production line is faster, the output is more stable, and there is sufficient automatic error correction mechanism, as long as the cost is low enough, it will definitely be of great benefit to improving the production efficiency of small and medium-sized enterprises."

"We are transforming from being the world's factory. Only by improving efficiency can we improve quality and start researching the so-called 'crown jewels of industry'."

"But as long as people can make money by doing simple work and accumulating volume, they are unlikely to be willing to spend money to improve efficiency."

"In fact, we should not pursue complete automation and completely eliminate the need for manpower. Some areas are redundant from the perspective of automatic operation. The original purpose is to improve efficiency, which is putting the cart before the horse."

"Improving efficiency has never been about denying the value of people. Liberating workers' hands is to allow them to do more valuable things."

"I hope that what I create will not make a lot of workers unemployed, but change some employment forms. Instead of mechanically using my hands to play the role of a humanoid robot, I hope that I can use my advantages as a human being to become an indispensable part of an efficient production line."

"Inspection, timely error correction, emergency response and management, these are what they need to do."

"I even hope that they can think actively or passively in their work and become the last link in the optimization pipeline."

"At the same time, perhaps a new industry will be created, which can also be considered as job creation."

"Are you right?"

These words happened after Shang Jie said to Li Yan, "Mr. Li, you're back."

The output was completed at a speed so fast that Shang Jie could hardly hear it and his brain could not keep up.

Shang Jie's state can be described in three words: confused.

What? Where am I? Why did Li Yan say this?
But he still grasped the key point - "what I made", so Shang Jie struggled to grasp the most noteworthy sentence among a lot of information gaps and asked:

"Mr. Li, what is this thing you are talking about?"

“Assembly line of assembly lines.”

The guy is even more confused.

No...Shang Jie suddenly reacted and his eyes gradually widened.

"I thought about this when I was optimizing the Jiaolong mobile phone production line. The assembly line has two completely different characteristics. Some functions are extremely universal, satisfying the most commonly used functions of the concept of 'assembly line' itself, and have a high degree of duplication within the corresponding industry, such as transportation, sorting, labeling, etc.; while some functions are completely customized to meet the special needs of a certain product. Without this product or even this model, they may be completely useless. Product upgrades may lead to assembly line upgrades."

Shang Jie wanted to nod, but Li Yan spoke too fast and he didn't find a pause to respond.

"I was thinking, in fact, some common functions have commonalities. Why can't we find them out and directly set up a standardized process to quickly build a production line according to the needs?"

"But later in the process, I found that there are many customization requirements in the production of Jiaolong mobile phones. This thing is more complicated than I thought, and they are intertwined with each other."

"I have been thinking about it since then, and asked Cao Haibin to help me sort out a lot of information. I also formed a small team to conduct field research in various assembly line factories."

Cao Haibin is still working on this? Shang Jie was stunned. No wonder everyone has been so busy lately. How many things does Li Yan have in store for?

"In the final analysis, I was fooled by the idea of ​​'full automation'. For an efficient and low-cost assembly line, we should not think about full automation. We should make good use of people, but people themselves are a variable. When they are added in, things become really complicated."

“And we need a powerful set of computer tools, otherwise it’s all just bullshit.”

"This is the first time I think it's a good idea to gather ideas from everyone. It's too much trouble to figure it out by myself."

"This is also one of the directions that Academician Gao and I are studying in artificial intelligence. I haven't mentioned it to him yet. Tsk... many things are still in the early stages, but I'm in a hurry to get them done. I still don't have enough ability..."

Shang Jie's mind is in a mess.

"Do you have any ideas, Shang Gong?"

I have a fart, do you want to hear it?
"Mr. Li, this... I'm not very good at this..."

"Then ask Cao Haibin to come over and I'll talk to him."

"Oh... that's not right, Mr. Li!"

Li Yan also came out of his thoughts, "Oh, yes, Shang Gong, you came to me to report the operation and maintenance problem, right?"

"Yes, it may take some time..."

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's okay."

Shang Jie then reported to Li Yan all the bugs, system vulnerabilities, crashes encountered during recent operation and maintenance, as well as the optimization patches made.

Li Yan frowned as he listened and typed quickly on the computer, and the questions he asked were very pointed.

The kind that goes straight to the core.

Shang Jie had a hard time dealing with the situation, as if he was fighting a boss, and he could not attack but only defend.

He regretted not bringing his most capable assistant with him.

Fortunately, I was well prepared and the report in my hand was very detailed. Although my answers were slow, I did not stammer and was unable to speak.

Reporting to Li Yan is the most stressful thing for this group of ministers now. Although Li Yan has never had any opinions about their inability to answer and her attitude has always been stable, once they perform poorly, they will have a strong idea of ​​"I don't deserve to sit in this position."

It's a sense of crisis, and a little bit of... shame.

very interesting.

After finishing the report, Li Yan yawned and said, "Okay." Then he called Wang Zi and asked her to find Cao Haibin.

Shang Jie blinked and stood there without hearing the next instruction.

Listening to the sound of the keyboard that almost made my heart beat out of control, I suddenly felt a wonderful sense of peace.

"Shang Gong, you have heard what I just thought about. Anyway, the workload of the operation and maintenance department will be relatively light next time, so you can listen to it with Cao Gong later."

"The workload is relatively small?" Shang Jie was puzzled, and immediately realized some unpleasant possibilities. "Mr. Li, do you want to adjust my position, or find someone else to share the work of the operation and maintenance department?"

Li Yan gave him a very speechless and puzzled look.

"What are you thinking?"

"Uh... you said the workload of the Operations and Maintenance Department will be relatively light..."

"I have just solved the difficulties that have accumulated for so long." Li Yan pointed to her computer. "As long as there is no major upgrade in the future, even if we rush into the international market, the work of the Operation and Maintenance Department will be the easiest among all departments."

Solved, dropped?
Shang Jie didn't react.

"What? Doubt my ability to optimize the system?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"No, no... You mean, the problems I just reported have been solved?"

"Yes, I cured the problem."

"How could it be so fast!"

"If you led the development of the system throughout the process, and even wrote most of the key codes, your approach to fixing bugs would be very different," Li Yan said. "If you were doing it, it would probably take a lot of time to troubleshoot."

"Ah...right."

"I don't need to. Just by looking at the situation you described, I have already roughly sorted out the possible problems in my mind, and can even classify them. I can directly optimize from the bottom-level logic, which is twice the result with half the effort."

It's clearly human language, why does it sound so hard to understand?
Fortunately, Cao Haibin arrived in time and interrupted Li Yan's dimensionality reduction attack.

As soon as Cao Haibin saw their expressions, he knew that Shang Jie must have been taught a lesson by Li Yan's extraordinary abilities again, and he couldn't help but gloat in his heart.

It’s not that he has a bad relationship with Shang Jie, but this guy just has such a bad personality.

But after Li Yan explained the specific plan of the "assembly line of assembly lines", he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Could it be that Li Yan has already come up with an idea to implement this thing?

Although he was thinking about it, Cao Haibin never stopped praising himself.

Every time Li Yan said something, he said "right", "yes", and "great" three times in a row.

"Okay, since you also agree with this implementation direction, don't just be responsible for finding information and conducting research for me all day long."

Hmm? Not good...

"And after such a long period of research, you should have gained a lot of experience. I will leave the matter of the assembly line to you, Engineer Cao. On the basis of continuously optimizing the Jiaolong mobile phone production line, seize the opportunity to promote the business overseas and build a factory from scratch. Give me a general design plan for the assembly line, and calculate the production cost."

...Cao Haibin was petrified.

"……OK."

"They are still recruiting employees there. The requirements are high and the salary is high. All the people who come in are talented in all aspects. Use them well. I am not recruiting 10,000 people for charity. I don't want to propose a thing, give the direction, lay the foundation, promote it, break through the difficulties, and complete the final product. I hope that I will put forward the requirements and you will produce the results."

"Understood. We will lead the team well."

"Okay, I have something else to do, you guys go back and digest it first."

The office returned to peace.

Li Yan's mind was full of mixed thoughts. After thinking about them over and over again, he threw them away one by one and slowly calmed down completely.

Damn it, I had planned to enjoy life and spend some money, but was interrupted by Hou Xiaofeng, and now I’m on my way to September in a daze.

Li Yan suddenly missed the day when Qiu Shuli asked him to play ball.

It feels so good to beat the other team and amaze everyone.

In fact, if you think about it, you will realize that you have many skills that you have no place to use yet.

He can also achieve great accomplishments in literary creation and historical research - this path is even easier.

It has been analyzed countless times before. If you want to maximize the power of the "all-round point addition" system, you have to "add all-round points".

If you feel that improvement in a certain aspect is slow, you should be free and do whatever you want. As you do it, the critical point will suddenly come.

When Li Yan found himself having this thought, his eyes were looking at the mountain of information about Huazhong University of Science and Technology in front of him.

"I understand." He said, and took out his phone:

"Don't eat in the cafeteria at noon. I'll take you out for lunch."

On the other side, Wei Yunzhi, who had been questioned by his classmates for the whole morning, suddenly left a message to his classmates saying "You guys eat, I have something else to do" and left.

"What's going on? Is Li Yan treating us to a meal?"

"Yunzhi originally said she wanted to eat the newly opened shouzhubing at noon. She was so excited. Who else could make her leave right away?"

"Wow, if Li Yan invites her to eat shouzhubing, can she add as many toppings as she wants?"

"I'll definitely have an extra egg, ham and chicken fillet."

The girls laughed happily.
