The first industrial revolution began in the 18th century and lasted until the beginning of this century. Western countries, as the birthplace of the first revolution, created a huge amount of wealth in one fell swoop, especially the United Kingdom. Germany also became a powerful country in the world.
Leaving other countries far behind, in this century, the large amount of knowledge and technology accumulated in the first industrial revolution pushed them into the era of the second industrial revolution. What is the second industrial revolution?
That is electrical automation. The energy source has changed from oil to electricity. Various machines use electricity as energy source. Because of electricity, the world has entered the era of electrical appliances and electrical automation to control the production of mechanical equipment. This industrial revolution, through parts and components
The successful separation of production and product assembly has created a new and efficient model for mass production of products. It is also because of electric automation that Western countries can produce large-scale products.
Weapons and huge aircraft carriers can be assembled in a few months, and aircraft and artillery are shipped out of factories in batches. For example, I went to Volkswagen a few days ago. Their workshops are controlled by electric automation, and they can produce tens of thousands of cars every year. This kind of
Efficiency was simply unimaginable in the first revolutionary era. It can be said that the emergence of electrical automation has completely changed the face of our human world.
The first industrial revolution brought machinery to the human world, and productivity was greatly improved. Work that previously took people years or even decades to complete could be completed in a few months with the help of machinery. The second industrial revolution
The revolution improved production efficiency and allowed machines to produce products on a large scale.
The second industrial revolution has been going on in Western countries for decades. Until now, it is about to enter a new period. This is what I will talk about next, the third industrial revolution, which is about to begin.
It’s coming.”
"The Third Industrial Revolution?"
Bai Weiren's heart trembled when he heard this word.
As a scholar-type official, Bai Weiren is very familiar with the development of the world. The first two industrial revolutions proposed by Liu Lang are very insightful. They can be said to clearly explain the development process of Western countries. In fact, this is how history develops.
, the third wave written by Liu Lang is also based on national electrical automation, using foreign technology to build its own domestic automation system, and then continuously expanding the domestic market.
But Liu Lang never mentioned the third industrial revolution during the third wave. What is the third industrial revolution? Bai Weiren couldn't help but ask for a work notebook from a staff member next to him.
Then I took out my pen and got ready to record.
"In my opinion, the third industrial revolution is the era of electronic information!"
"Electronic information age?"
No one present had heard of this term, and Bai Weiren even wrote these words in his notebook.
"What is the electronic information age? It is the widespread application of electronic and information technology to further greatly improve the degree of automation and control of the manufacturing process. Production efficiency, yield rate, division of labor and cooperation, and the life of mechanical equipment have all been improved unprecedentedly. In this
In the early 1990s, factories used a large number of mechanical equipment controlled by computers for production. Since then, machines have been able to gradually replace human work, not only taking over a considerable proportion of "manual labor", but also taking over some "mental labor". This is the era of electronic information.
the fundamental definition of.
Computers will be very useful in the future, and can even be said to be ubiquitous. For example, the machine tools we use now require manual control. But in the future, computers will replace humans, because humans will cause problems, but computers will not. As long as they are given
Enter the command, and they will work meticulously and accurately. There is no need to sleep or eat. There will be no problem even if they work 24 hours a day, and the quality of the products produced will be exactly the same without any problems.
This is in terms of industrial production, but in terms of life, computers are even more powerful. Our calculations, writing, and drawing can all be done by computers, because they are faster, will not cause problems, and are more powerful than our own hands and feet.
There are too many, so in the future, computers will definitely become an indispensable item in our lives. By that time, almost everyone will have one personal computer. Without a computer, it will be difficult for you to move forward in this world!
This is what I think is the third industrial revolution. Why do I say this? It’s because the work we have to do now is to create this industrial age. In other words, we are all ahead of the times. When others are still
We did not realize that when the era comes, we will personally participate in it, participate in and witness the arrival of this era. This honor is not enjoyed by everyone, and this honor cannot be bought with simple money.
Twenty years later, when the world enters that era, people will look back and summarize the development and origin of this era. Then they will find that in 1985, a group of young people stood in the suburbs of Shanghai with high spirits.
In an old factory building outside, something called a computer chip is being studied.
At that time, no one knew what the future of this kind of chip would look like. They only knew that they would devote their life-long enthusiasm to it and manufacture that small chip. But this was the most critical step in history. History is here.
The time is already in the hands of young people like them, and all of us here will be recorded in history and remembered by future generations... I believe that there will be such a chapter in the history of world economic development in future generations.
In July 1985, in Shanghai, a group of young people with dreams gathered together in a factory called Jiangnan Radio Factory. Their purpose was to create a computer chip that even they themselves did not know about.
The function of the chip is very weak, so weak that it can only handle some of the simplest edits. However, just like human beings landing on the moon, their small step is a big step for China's information industry. In the next twenty or thirty years,
All the technologies in China's information industry come from this, and all talents are produced among them.
It can be said that every progress and leap forward in China's information industry is closely related to these people. They are the pioneers and developers of an era. Our country must remember these people's contribution to history.
achievements, because without them, China would not be the information
As a globalized power, without the core technology of chip manufacturing, China’s development will not be respected by developed countries. It can be said that they are the true contributors to the rise of our country. Their contributions to our country are immeasurable. They deserve all
The Chinese respect him and he deserves to be called a national hero."
