Chapter 188: The Invention of the Container
Everyone's attention was focused, and they all wanted to hear how Zhou Cheng praised an ordinary container without any technical content into a flower. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhou Cheng took two steps on the stage, organized the language, and said with a smile.
This story also takes place in the nineteenth century, there is a white man named McLean in the United States, because his family is relatively poor, he has not read much, so he became a truck driver in his teens, specializing in long-distance transportation, and after hard work, he already has his own transportation company at the age of 22.
Later, World War II broke out, and with the help of World War II, he became the owner of the largest transportation company in the United States at that time. His way to make a fortune is not buckle or black, but vision, and he often thinks in private about how to improve efficiency in the way of reducing costs.
At that time, McLean's business was mainly on the eastern front of the United States, close to the Atlantic Ocean, but because this line was too congested, it affected the efficiency very much, so McLean thought, my line is close to the Atlantic Ocean anyway, so I simply put the car on the ship and change it to shipping.
However, at that time, the United States was particularly strict in all kinds of traffic control, so his idea was not implemented at all. But McLean didn't give up, but racked his brains to spare the traffic control.
So, he invested in the acquisition of a steamship company that was about to go out of business, and then he suddenly realized that there was no need to run land transportation anymore, why should I go by land when I have a ship, and then he sold the transportation company and became the CEO of the shipping company.
His original plan was to take on some land transportation work, pull these trucks onto the ship, and then help them transport them to the other side, but he suddenly realized that this was too stupid, why should he transport the whole truck, why not just transport the trucks?
If you directly transport the car, the cargo pulled by a ship will be at least doubled.
Later, he found out that this method was still a bit silly, why should I even carry the wheels? Why don't you just ship the loaded boxes over? If you transport the boxes directly, not only does it reduce the weight, but it is also easier to store, and the most important thing is to save space, because then the boxes can be stacked between them.
Then, the prototype of the container came out, don't you think this is of great use? ”
All the students didn't speak, Zhou Cheng said with a smile.
"McLean later did an experiment with the Port Authority, and he tested it in two ways: land transportation and container water transportation, do you know the results? In one trip, he saved 95% of the transportation cost! Any idea what that means? This means a change in the mode of transportation, it means an increase in transportation capacity, it means that merchants will accumulate greater wealth in the same amount of time, and it also means that the goods transported in this way have cheaper market prices and competitiveness!
And all this because of a small, insignificant invention! ”
This lesson brought all the students a sharp reflection, and they began to think about whether they thought about invention too hard, so they went into a misunderstanding, often thinking that the higher the technology and the more complex the design, the perfect invention.
Zhou Cheng left the next morning with more than 100 harvested talents.
These people, except for two people, all the rest were allocated to Li Chunhua's laboratory, and the laboratory originally built on the second floor of Qilicun Test Paper Co., Ltd. was not used again, and was repainted and redecorated a week later, and changed into a smoking room, Li Chunhua took these people to change to an office building of their own.
The building has no name, only the number 33 hangs on it.
No. 33 is the homestead house number that Zhou Cheng just came to Qili Village, and at this time, it is estimated that the older generation of Qili Village does not know what it means, and the earthen house has long been demolished.
The monitoring around the building is extremely strict, in addition to the monitoring without dead ends, Zhou Cheng also arranged a group of bodyguards recruited by the network to patrol inside and outside 24 hours a day, here, no one is allowed to enter!
Gao Ruoyun's invention was regarded as the first target of research, and with the strong support of more than 100 technical experts and Q Company, it was repackaged almost within a week, but Gao Ruoyun's original idea was not realized.
Looking at a metal hat similar to a virtual helmet on the table, Zhou Cheng touched the minibus and smiled.
"Tell me, what's this thing called?"
There were still a few old smokers in the room, and Wang Gang touched it before he spoke.
"Mr. Zhou, I think it's more appropriate to call it a native old hat, do you look at this shape?"
"Get out of the way, I'll let you put it on if you talk nonsense!"
Zhou Cheng scolded, the frightened Wang Gang shrank his neck, and Wu Laojiu asked after a while.
"What are you going to do with this thing? Direct worldwide sales? ”
Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart Isn't this nonsense, if you don't sell it, you still stay at your home and play it every day, and the others also showed puzzled expressions.
Wu Laojiu calmed his face, and then took a puff of cigarette,
"Aren't you afraid of chaos in the world?"
"Huh?"
"This thing is good, not only can it be used to simply observe the psychological reaction of animals, but also can connect to the human brain, so that paralyzed, aphasia, autistic and even psychotic can communicate directly with normal people, but the harm is greater, in short, I don't approve of external sales."
"Hazards? Lao Jiu, aren't these all good things? Think about it, how pitiful vegetative people are, in addition to their eyes moving, if they have this, they can also be like normal people, to study, listen to music, play games and even communicate directly with their families, how nice. ”
Wang Gang was a little impatient, frowned and agreed.
"Yes, Brother Jiu, if you have any concerns, just say it, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you dog-headed military advisor is too incompetent."
Wu Laojiu glared at him, then pointed to his hat and said.
"This thing should be a lie detector, right?"
Zhou Cheng nodded.
"That's right, according to people's heartbeats and brain waves, it can also be used for polygraphs, and the accuracy rate is much higher than the most advanced polygraph on the market."
"Then what do you think normal people would do with it if they bought it?"
Everyone understood this question, Zhou Cheng smiled and waved his hand.
"Oh, I've thought about this, although normal people can be polygraphed, they can also refuse, people's thinking is also private information, and it is illegal to snoop on privately."
Wu Laojiu didn't speak, but asked again.
"I remember you have another function for this thing, what is it called memory imaging, right?"
"Well, it does have this function, mainly through human brain waves, mobilizing part of people's memory cells, but this technology is not yet mature, and only part of it can be mobilized, and it can't even be confirmed that it is that part."
"So what do you think if the company's leaders want to use him to force the investigation of employees' thoughts and memories? Or maybe it's a private person who forces someone else to use it, or maybe there's a mistrust between husband and wife, like your wife who threatens you with death to put it on? ”
At this moment, Zhou Cheng's face turned white, not only him, but everyone in the room swallowed and spit, who can not have a little privacy, who can not have a little secret? If this thing spreads, it will definitely be the same as Wu Laojiu said, the world will be in chaos.
It is estimated that every day there is a husband who hacks his wife to death, or a wife who stabs her husband to death, thinking about it, Zhou Cheng immediately shuddered, if anyone uses this thing to see the memory of his brain, then he will be completely finished, and there is still a monster hidden in his head.
Swallowing his saliva, Zhou Chenggan smiled and asked.
"That'...... Lao Jiu, what do you mean? You can't just invent it and smash it, right? ”
Wu Laojiu shook his head, his face was still cold, and he sighed after looking at this strangely shaped metal helmet.
"Let's give it to the country!"
