The construction of the 315 circle center spacecraft began
This head finally appeased Dai Junpeng, and as for what surprise he was curious about, Chen Wenhao didn't tell him in the end. Whether it will be a surprise or a fright, we have to say two things.
Next, I received a call from Lao Liu without any surprise, and I guessed that I had just received a report from JD Logistics and came to inquire about the news in person.
Lao Liu was very enthusiastic when he came up, "Brother Chen, knowing that you are a cheerful person, I will say it directly, can you think of a way to deal with the cargo spaceship?" The market has been delivered to the mouth, and the east wind on your side is missing. β
In the past two years, the JD management team led by Lao Liu has a mountain called Ali in the field of e-commerce, which cannot be climbed alive or dead, and there are rookies led by PDD who are fierce, and the taste of being caught in the middle is not pleasant. In order to improve profitability and reduce costs, Lao Liu Ke laid off a lot of "brothers" who have always relied on the cornerstone, and it was not easy to make a brother stalk.
However, the logistics department that was separated had unexpected surprises. After JD and Infinite Future jointly opened a logistics management company, with the exclusive supply of more than 20 cargo spaceships, five large central warehouses and hundreds of small forward warehouses were newly set up in the central and western regions, and four spaceships were a group, with a central warehouse as a dot, and the area within a radius of 300 kilometers was fully covered.
Within 24 hours, a piece of goods can be delivered from the central warehouse to the nearest forward warehouse to the user. Then, according to the situation, arrange a delivery person to deliver the goods to the door or simply let the surrounding customers pick up the goods at a fixed point.
This trick is particularly attractive to residents of small cities, especially counties, towns and villages.
Especially in the mountainous plateau area where ground transportation is inconvenient, the logistics efficiency is better than that of other competitors. The transport vehicles of other friendly merchants have to toss for most of the day on the winding mountain road, and the cargo spaceship can easily handle it in an hour.
In terms of route approval, with the precedent of Infinite Future having already set up fixed routes in the provincial capitals of Shangjiang City and Giang Province, coupled with the thirst for investment from well-known large companies in the central and western regions, these are not major problems.
Chen Wenhao has seen the performance report of the joint venture logistics company, JD has occupied 35% of the e-commerce logistics market in several provinces in the central and western regions, and has indirectly increased the sales of JD's e-commerce platform.
So Lao Liu called in a hurry, Chen Wenhao was not surprised at all, after all, such a big interest was at stake.
But it's useless to be anxious, Chen Wenhao can't change the plan for this. The cargo spacecraft is just the first step in the company's space business, and the sea of stars is the journey.
In the end, Chen Wenhao still sent Lao Liu away with upgraded clichΓ©s. As for what Lao Liu thinks in his heart, whether he can understand it or not is none of his business.
Looking back, Chen Wenhao chose to cooperate with JD, mainly to facilitate the collection of commercial performance of cargo spacecraft in different use environments. In addition, there is a penguin Pony brother to match, and it will be pushed along the water. The joint venture management company can give priority to the supply of cargo spaceships, and then hand over the spacecraft to logistics companies in the form of long-term leases. In business, for Infinite Future, this is a business that makes sure that it does not lose money, and it can make double money, and it does not have to invest too much energy, so why not. For JD, sharing part of the profits can get a huge advantage over the industry, which is a win-win situation.
The military will also give feedback on the performance and improvement needs of the spacecraft, but that is completely different from the commercial application scenario, not to mention that there are many differences in the components and configurations of the two spacecraft. In the past year, the technical team stationed in the joint venture company has summarized and transmitted the actual combat information of the spacecraft back to the headquarters for the first time, which has great reference value for the subsequent improvement of the spacecraft.
Within the group, the latest version of the cargo spacecraft has reached 1.46, 1 is the original version of the technology provided by the small truck, on this basis, each significant optimization of the ship's performance will increase the version number to the first decimal place, and the improvement in practicality and comfort is reflected in the second decimal place.
Compared with the first batch of finished products, the latest model of cargo spacecraft has an increase of more than 20% in endurance and load performance. This made Chen Wenhao very happy, indicating that the technical team has basically mastered the manufacturing technology of the spacecraft, and only when the version number becomes the beginning of 2 can it be regarded as a real understanding of the technical principles.
While Chen Wenhao is trying to smooth out the reactions from all sides, the upgrade and new construction of the intelligent workshop have not been left behind.
A month later, it was announced that the renovation project of the two smart workshops, which would take half a year, had been completed. The entire transformation project, without any manual participation, is completed by all kinds of freely walking industrial robots, and Xiaoka is responsible for the overall command and control. During the transformation, if someone can enter the workshop, they will be shocked by the perfectly coordinated and busy work scenes of countless high-precision robotic arms, professional robots, and unmanned vehicles.
Let the machine produce the machine, let the machine maintain the machine, let the machine upgrade the machine, the unmanned intelligent workshop in Yidong Park has been running for more than a year, and has continuously improved the level of intelligence. Sensitive accessories are produced by the workshop (small cards have made a lot of efforts), and ordinary parts are solved through outsourcing, and finally a team of robot craftsmen with different shapes and a sense of science and technology has been formed.
Five new smart workshops have also started construction at the same time, but the progress is much slower than these two upgraded workshops. Although the computing power of small cards has increased greatly, it cannot be created out of nothing. The main equipment of these new workshops, worth nearly 6 billion yuan, has been allocated to several robot companies that have been determined to settle in the innovation center. If there is no delay in the delivery of the equipment, it will be at least two months after the equipment installation is completed in the new workshop, and another month will have to be added to officially use the production capacity.
You can eat as much as you want, and the workshop that has completed the transformation cannot be idle, and the construction of the space station center spacecraft was started as soon as possible.
According to the design and construction of the circular space station, the center of the circle will be composed of eight special spaceships, and this area will be the management core of the space station, and the core management module, computing module, energy module, and communication module of the space station will be installed here.
On the first day of construction, Chen Wenhao and Yan Guoping both came to the workshop site and watched the work area in the visit channel. Various robotic arms are busy waving up and down, processing the parts of the spaceship on different assembly lines, and the molded parts are transported to the center near the stand, where they are grabbed and assembled by the huge robotic arms.
"This is the assembly area, where the ship's fuselage is assembled in three parts, and the final assembly is completed. The next workshop is the engine production area, where the engines will be the last hull components to be installed. Once the hull is complete, it's time for your team to put their capabilities to work. β
Chen Wenhao introduced to Yan Guoping.
Xiaoka can rely on the information in the database to design a spaceship suitable for space flight. However, the equipment architecture and configuration selection inside the spacecraft, especially to meet the needs of space station management and human work, Xiaoka is not good at it, and its main purpose is to survey the alien environment.
More information about alien science and technology is still in Konishi, who is the brains of the scientific research ship. However, Xiaoxi said before that he was investigating the galactic environment, and he didn't know where Lang went, and he didn't leave any black technology contact equipment. Chen Wenhao estimated that its kind of artificial intelligence has no concept of human time, and it is not good that decades have passed once it has passed.
Therefore, the work of internal assembly design is still handed over to the team led by Yan Guoping. After more than a year of learning and absorption, it is also time to make achievements.
"Understood. We have done several versions of the power distribution scheme for cargo spacecraft and manned spacecraft, and last month we have started to focus on the new scheme, and now we are in the fine-tuning stage. β
Yan Guoping pointed to the workshop with his finger, signaling that he was already preparing for the new circular spacecraft, and then asked, "When will the first hull be completed?" β
"10 days. It's up to you. β
The manned space station is a sensitive matter, and the planning stage can still be as fast as possible, so as not to change.
The construction time of a normal cargo ship is 7 days, including the installation of all electronic components. Although today's circle center spaceship has the same technical foundation, it is a new model after all, so it will take a little time.
Three months, this is the construction time that Chen Wenhao has reserved for the eight spacecraft.
