My technology affects the whole world

Zhong Yongtao left the excavator behind and left with his engineer.

Ma Tian also turned his attention back to the 26-ton excavator in front of him. He planned to upgrade this excavator from the following three aspects:

1. Hydraulic system. When he just calculated the current excavator hydraulic system, he found that it was too simple. Not only is the flexibility of the excavator lost, but the mechanical transmission efficiency is not high.

2. Control system. The internal control system of the excavator is too old. If it weren't for technical constraints, Ma Tian would even want to build a neurosensory machine, just like operating a mecha in the science fiction movie Pacific Rim.

Connecting the nerve of one arm of the driver to the bucket of the excavator, so that the driver can control the bucket of the excavator like an arm wave, will definitely greatly improve efficiency and accuracy.

Unfortunately, the current knowledge tells him that it cannot be realized, at least he has no clue about the neural connection.

You can try using sensitive sensors, but in that case, you will need to install many sensors on the excavator bucket. What kind of material can the sensors be made of that can withstand the huge pressure of the bucket when digging rocks?

Ma Tian shook his head and abandoned this immature idea. It could be done, but the material would have to be made of aerospace alloy materials, so the cost would be very high and it was simply unrealistic.

Therefore, Ma Tian’s practical idea to upgrade the control system is to add an intelligent operation screen to the excavator operating room, for example, using machine learning algorithms to realize automatic digging functions.

Third, it is to make a fuss about the mechanical arm of the excavator so that it not only has the function of digging, but also has the function of a breaker. This eliminates the need for the crusher to crush a large object before the excavator digs it out.

After determining the direction of the upgrade, Ma Tian also divided these tasks. For example, in the control system, Zheng Shijian and others who were studying machine learning must also be transferred. If the diesel engine is changed to an electric engine, engineers such as Su Xihua can implement it.

The most difficult tasks of optimizing the hydraulic system and increasing the functionality of the robotic arm had to be done by him. As for the modeling team that Ye Yuyan is in charge of, he is always on hand to provide assistance.

Under the leadership of Ma Tian, ​​a group of Tianyu Xinghai's most outstanding engineers gathered in the manufacturing workshop and began to modify and upgrade Shanyi Heavy Industry's excavator...

Zhong Yongtao, who returned to Shanyi Heavy Industry, also came to the office of General Manager Deng Wanquan without stopping.

Please come in!

Deng Wanquan was sitting in the office and saw that his R\u0026D director Zhong Yongtao came to him. His smile froze, because every time Zhong Yongtao came to him, he did nothing good. Most of the time, he came to ask him for R\u0026D expenses.

This is also the norm for every company that sells hardware products. As executives, what they like to see most is the sales people, because every time the sales people come to visit, most of the time they come with large orders.

And when R\u0026D comes to visit, most of the time they just ask for money! But R\u0026D is a bottomless pit with extremely slow output.

Mr. Deng, I came here today to tell you something! Zhong Yongtao didn't say much and went straight to the topic.

Say it! Deng Wanquan replied expressionlessly.

I think we should increase investment in research and development. Our company's technical research is too weak, and it has almost become an assembly workshop! Zhong Yongtao looked at Deng Wanquan and said seriously.

This time when he went to Martina, he could no longer deceive himself that the skills of the Chinese people were inferior.

In the past, each of our companies imported products from abroad, assembled them, and then sold them. No one looked down on anyone, and no one looked down on anyone.

Now, after going to Tianyu Xinghai, he realizes that it is not that the Chinese are not good, but that they rely too much on foreign countries or stability and have lost the motivation to improve!

The same is true for Shanyi Heavy Industries. Anyway, you can assemble a decent excavator and sell it domestically by assembling imported domestic components, so why invest in research and development?

Isn’t it good to make money by producing according to the drawings?

After hearing Zhong Yongtao's call to increase R\u0026D investment, Deng Wanquan also thought that it was just as he expected, and Zhong Yongtao came to apply for R\u0026D expenses from him again.

Yong Tao, it's not that the company refuses to invest in R\u0026D. As you know, the company's net profit is very low. The current investment in R\u0026D is already large enough. If we increase the investment, we may not be able to maintain positive performance growth!

You also know that if our performance is poor, our stocks will fall again!

Deng Wanquan looked at Zhong Yongtao's words and said seriously. He holds a lot of stocks in the company, including Zhong Yongtao.

Mr. Deng, times are progressing! Our excavators have lagged behind foreign manufacturing standards for decades. Don't you want to catch up? Zhong Yongtao hates that iron cannot make steel.

We are also making progress. When they sell us better engines and components, won't we also be making progress? Deng Wanquan asked in confusion.

Zhong Yongtao was stunned when he heard this answer!

Deng Wanquan also realized that this was a bit too true, so he blurted out the contents of the directors’ private chats together, and quickly smoothed things over:

Well, Yongtao, we also want to make progress, but as you know, it's too difficult to make progress! Let's not talk about the engine, just the simplest spring or screw, with a little bit of precision. One of them is Can our domestic products replace them?

We are not specialized in making those components. When those components are solved by other manufacturers, our excavators will also make progress!

But Tianyu Xinghai can already do it! They relied on their own research and solved it! Zhong Yongtao said with cold eyes.

Tianyu Xinghai? Ma Tian? Deng Wanquan frowned. To be honest, not everyone likes Ma Tian, ​​especially these people. The one they dislike the most is Ma Tian.

Because Ma Tian, ​​an industry disruptor, can kill their current high-quality life and status at any time.

Is he making excavators? Isn't he making new energy vehicles? Thinking of this, Deng Wanquan suddenly panicked. Once Ma Tian started making excavators, his stock would not plummet!

What do you think? Zhong Yongtao did not explain that Ma Tian's Tianyu Xinghai can only make some precision components. Instead, he said that Ma Tian can make excavators, hoping to make the executives of these companies aware of the importance of research and development. sex.

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

Deng Wanquan did not think about improving the competitiveness of his company, but was focused on how to cash out his stocks quickly. Otherwise, when Tianyu Xinghai announced its entry into excavators, the stock price would plummet and the value of the company would shrink.

Damn Ma Tian, ​​why did he suddenly come to build an excavator? Is he crazy? Deng Wanquan said in a stern voice.

Mr. Deng, as long as we increase research and development, we don't have to be afraid of Ma Tian. After all, we have accumulated so many years of experience! Zhong Yongtao was still persuading through Ma Tian.

Huh, old car manufacturing companies like BMW and Mercedes-Benz have all failed before Ma Tian. Do you think we can do it? Deng Wanquan said angrily. Although it was in a questioning tone, he obviously denied that Shanyi Heavy Industry could not do it.

What if you don't try?

Try? Do you know how to try? You don't know how difficult it is for the company to make money. Do you think we want to be like lapdogs and beg those foreigners to sell us components? It's not just to make more money!

…

Zhong Yongtao left Deng Wanquan's office in despair. At this moment, his belief was suddenly shaken. His proud persistence was dismissed as worthless by Deng Wanquan, who lost his mind after hearing that Ma Tian wanted to build an excavator.
