Chapter 297, the direction of technology and civilization development
"Hello, boss~"
"Hello, Mr. Tang, hello, Mr. Sun!"
The workers on the production line were busy. When they saw Liu Yuan, Tang Peng and Sun Zilong walking together, they stopped to say hello to the three of them.
"Hello everyone~Hello everyone!"
Liu Yuan greeted everyone with a smile on his face. The company is getting bigger and bigger. Most of the employees have never seen it before. Those familiar faces in the past have now become various subsidiaries, and partial management has been dispersed.
In various subsidiaries and departments, the scientists who I see the most and are most familiar with are the scientists from the research institute.
The entire production line is large in scale and very long. Some of the core areas are closed areas, and entry requires authorization, or only people with high enough authority can enter.
At this point, Xinghai Technology has made settings in almost every place. According to the position and level, the internal company information, documents, scientific and technological materials that can be browsed, the company areas that can be entered, etc. have been set up accordingly.
Scientists at the institute can often only enter their own laboratories and project team areas, but cannot enter other places. They need to apply and obtain approval before they can enter.
The same is true for related scientific and technological materials. You can only browse relevant materials within your own permissions, and you cannot download scientific and technological materials and information within the institute. If you want to download relevant information and materials, you need permissions.
Ordinary managers do not have the right to enter the core research area and production area, let alone browse and download relevant scientific and technological materials. Even Lu Yong, the company's No. 2 person, is not authorized to do so because he is only a manager and not a scientific researcher.
You have the right to download and browse any technology-related information.
The reason for doing this is to keep the technology and information confidential and to prevent the leakage of technology and information. Xinghai Technology basically does a unique business. If the technology is leaked, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Xinghai Technology.
.
Therefore, Liu Yuan attaches great importance to this. Xinghai Technology Group has a security department under its entire group, and the security department is directly responsible for Liu Yuan.
The entire department is actually a subsidiary company, called Xinghai Security Group, but because it is engaged in security, it is not listed alongside the seven major sub-groups.
But it has attracted much attention from Liu Yuan. The entire Xinghai Security Group has more than 20,000 people, basically composed of retired elite soldiers, who are mainly responsible for all aspects of the company's security work.
In addition to these apparent confidentiality measures, Liu Yuan actually made many arrangements for the inheritance seeds, which ensured the technology and information security of Xinghai Technology. So far, no problems have arisen.
And because a large number of agents infiltrated into Xinghai Technology and then lost contact quietly, this also gave Xinghai Technology the nickname "Black Hole".
This means that there is no way in or out. The agents who entered it have disappeared and there is no news. No one knows whether it was handed over to the higher ups or was eliminated.
In short, for this kind of shady matter, even if there is a problem, no one will speak out. This is a rule of the game that everyone tacitly agrees to. Only when both parties exchange with each other in private can they regain their freedom, but
The vast majority of such people will disappear permanently.
Liu Yuan naturally has the highest authority in the company. He can enter any area and all information can be viewed and downloaded.
Entering the closed production area, there are also a large number of scientists and engineers in the entire closed production area, debugging, robotic arms, various probes, optical sensors, etc., everything is full of science fiction color
.
Although it is unmanned, intelligent, and automated production for the sake of confidentiality, this is also a topic currently being studied by the Xinghai Science and Technology Engineering Machinery Research Institute.
That is, all production will eventually move toward a fully automated, fully intelligent, and fully unmanned production model, freeing people from tedious repetitive work to engage in innovative work.
This is also an order and research task issued by Liu Yuan.
The development trend of science and technology itself is like this, freeing people from repetitive mechanical labor and turning to innovative and creative work.
In other words, the proportion of the population engaged in the primary and secondary industries will continue to decrease, while the proportion of the population engaged in the tertiary industry will continue to increase, and the corresponding output value will also undergo huge changes.
Of course, from a capitalist's point of view, machinery is more reliable than people, and it is also much less troublesome.
People need to rest, and they also need to deal with the relationship between the company and its employees. People also have holidays, get sick, have things delayed, etc., but they don’t need these machines. As long as the machine is not broken and has energy, it can work hard without complaint.
Continue to create value for you.
In terms of cost, the cost of using machines is much lower than labor costs, which is why mechanical things are cheaper.
If industrial manufacturing wants to improve efficiency and profits, the use of mechanization is inevitable. Especially when labor becomes more and more expensive, mechanical manufacturing becomes particularly important.
For example, Xinghai Aerospace Technology Group has more than ten bases of various sizes and millions of employees, most of whom are workers on the production line.
Xinghai Technology's salary package is very good, and hundreds of billions of dollars are spent every year just to pay salaries to these millions of people. This is a heavy burden, and the salary ratio is too high.
If the various aircraft of Xinghai Aerospace Technology were not profitable enough, they would not be able to afford it or hire such a large number of employees.
Of course, this is also a common problem in the manufacturing industry. The number of employees in the manufacturing industry is very large, which can promote a large number of jobs and drive the development of many related industries and industries.
It cannot be compared with the finance, real estate, insurance, and Internet industries. There is no comparability at all in terms of the value created by each unit.
This is also the reason why in many developed countries, the manufacturing industry is becoming more and more hollow. In the final analysis, labor is too expensive, and the products manufactured are not competitive at all.
Only by developing high-tech industries, financial industries, service industries and other high value-added industries can we meet the demand for high wages. Or, like Germany, vigorously develop machinery manufacturing and use a large number of machinery and machines to improve production efficiency and reduce the need for labor.
demand, so that production and development can continue.
This is the situation on earth. In the interstellar universe, the higher the level of civilization, the higher the level of intelligence, automation, and unmanned manufacturing in manufacturing.
Among some powerful advanced civilizations, only a very small number of people are often needed to complete extremely large manufacturing tasks and produce a huge fleet on a large scale in a very short period of time.
Therefore, it is often difficult to determine the winner in wars between advanced cosmic civilizations, because even a confrontation between hundreds of millions of huge battleship groups may only be created in a short period of time for them.
What can really determine the victory or defeat between cosmic civilizations is already what everyone understands as human sea tactics or battleship sea tactics, but involves the ultimate secret of the development of cosmic science and technology.
Just like the civilizations in the Trisolaris, just one drop of water destroyed more than 2,000 powerful space battleships of human civilization. The absolute crushing of technology and strength, the number has no meaning and effect.
Even in the war in the universe, the winner has been decided between the two sides without even seeing each other, and a civilization has been destroyed silently.
Knowing the development direction and trends of science and technology and civilization from the seeds of inheritance, Liu Yuan naturally led Xinghai Technology on this path.
Among middle and low-level civilizations, automation, mechanization, intelligence, and unmanned operation are the trend and direction of development. The mutual pecking between rookie-level civilizations is often the most exciting drama in the interstellar war in the universe.
There are often millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of cosmic interstellar battleships among each other, and the bombardment and collision between the huge cosmic fighter groups counting in the billions create the most splendid fireworks.
The wars between advanced cosmic civilizations may often be silent, or they may be rapid contests in a very short period of time, with the winner decided in a very short period of time, or they may often be crushing.
, a one-sided war.
Just like the war that took place in the Middle East back then, in just seven days, a well-equipped army of hundreds of thousands was completely defeated with almost zero casualties. This was just a war on Earth, on the home planet.
Civilized war.
If placed in a more advanced cosmic civilization, in a wider cosmic interstellar sea, such a war is going on silently, all the time. Under the one-sided crushing, countless civilizations are silently
It disappeared into ashes.
Fortunately, the earth has not been in contact with powerful alien civilizations. Otherwise, humans on earth may not even have time to react when disaster strikes.
