52. Standardization, modularization, industrialization, serialization, scale, and clustering
The cursor on the light curtain moved with the movement of Gu Tao's fingers, and after the movement, a title appeared - automated industry replaces traditional industry.
"I know you're going to be confused when you see this title, but if you want to understand, be sure to start with this one topic." Gu Tao stood there with his hands behind his back, his face was full of seriousness: "I won't talk about my home planet, just the earth." ”
"As we all know, the industrial revolution of the earth began in the sixties of the eighteenth century, and the ultimate significance of this revolution is to replace the traditional handicraft industry with the machine industry, and replace the large-scale cluster production with the production technology revolution of individual manual production. Since the Industrial Revolution, the Earth's productivity has been hundreds of times higher than it has been for more than 6,000 years since the beginning of the historical record, so the question is, how is this done? ”
"yes...... How. Xin Chen's face was full of confusion: "I haven't learned, it's okay for you to let me tell fortunes." ”
"Standardization, modularization, industrialization, serialization, scale, and clustering." After Gu Tao finished speaking, these words were also realistic on the light curtain: "You don't need to interpret it too deeply, it's literal." Standardization is to formulate a specific measurement standard, just like test scores, and what score is implemented according to what standard, which is the premise of the next few keywords. Modularity represents a surge in production capacity, with replaceable parts, replaceable components, mass production to achieve a geometric increase in production. Industrialization is to face the whole market of products, forming a complete industrial economic chain, the factory will put the product into the market, the market feedback to the factory profits, the factory uses the profits to continue to expand the scale, forming a balanced and sustainable development model. Serialization, which is relatively difficult compared to several other knowledge points, but in general, the goal of serialization is to open up the market breadth of the product, so that it is easier to adapt to a variety of different people, I will give the simplest example, I opened a club, then I will divide my young lady into several different parts, there are 388 regular series, there are 588 fast food series, there are 888 exclusive series, there are 1288 custom series, there are 1588 noble custom series and 1888 luxury full series, In the future, even guests can combine the service standards they need most according to their own needs, but the price has also increased accordingly. ”
"Senior brother...... The example is a bit dirty. ”
"Isn't this for you to understand, beep." Gu Tao slapped the table: "Then serialization is to open up the breadth of the market, then scale and clustering is to cater to the market demand and bring other different industries together, forming a complete operation network, and this network must be a huge volume of the collection, for example, I produce a TV, then I definitely can't order the shell from the manufacturer in Beijing, order the display from the manufacturer in Seoul, order the high-voltage package from the manufacturer in Tokyo, so it may not increase the budget too much, However, the cost of time, transportation and loss are fatal, so most enterprises will gather together to form a large-scale industrial chain in a certain region. ”
"By the same token, do you know why your industry has become endangered?"
"No...... I don't know. Xin Chen shook his head: "Solve." ”
"Let me ask you a question, is there more people who make armor and swords in the Middle Ages or more people who make armor and swords in modern times?"
"The Middle Ages, of course." Xin Chen was puzzled by this question: "Isn't this obvious? ”
"Wrong." Gu Tao shook his head: "The number of armor knives made in modern society is far more than in the Middle Ages, even thousands of times more. Because at that time these things were controlled products, and now these products are only produced for the individual needs of customers. Not only is the quantity much higher than then, but the quality is also not the same, in other words, in other words, in ancient times it was difficult to collect too many of these materials, because it was a strategic reserve, but in modern times, as long as you have money, you need as much as you want. But why is your industry gradually withering? ”
This time Xin Chen didn't speak again, just looked at Gu Tao silently, after all, if he said too much, Xin Chen also wanted to save face.
"Because you are basically a group of retail investors, a group of pure craftsmen scattered all over the place, and your products are in a single form, extremely poorly adaptable, without specific measurements, without large-scale operations. This is bound to be eliminated by the times. ”
"But......" Xin Chen raised his head: "Not everyone can persist in cultivating this way, it requires roots, intelligence, understanding, and perseverance, and even some need to be pure-hearted, desireless, and desireless." How many people can do it now? People's hearts are not ancient. ”
"Huh." Gu Tao sneered, swiped his finger, and a map of the world's population distribution suddenly appeared on the light curtain: "Come, let's take a look at the population distribution over the years, what people's hearts are not ancient, they are all self-comforting, when are people's hearts ancient, when can not do it in the era of the explosion of productive forces, it is even more impossible to do it in ancient times." ”
"In 1300 B.C., the world's population was about 40 million, equivalent to the population of two Beijing cities at the end of last year. In 900 B.C., the world's population was about 60 million, equivalent to the population of three Beijing cities at the end of last year. In 700 BC the world's population was about 80 million, 4. In 500 BC, the world's population exceeded 100 million, equivalent to the population of Shandong Province at the end of last year. In 300 B.C., the world's population was about 120 million, which was a little more than Guangdong last year. In 100 BC, it was about 170 million, equivalent to two Jiangsu provinces. This population was maintained until 700 AD, which is the time when you said the Tang Empire, which reached 200 million, the world's population. Until 1900, more than 110 years ago, the population was only 1.5 billion. And now you tell me, what is the base of the world's population? ”
"Seven...... Seven billion. ”
"You also know that there are seven billion, so let's put aside all the problems, the modern human beings who have been comprehensively improved in terms of nutrition, cultural level, knowledge level and living environment, the intelligence and physical strength are no longer comparable to the ancient people, so are there more or fewer people with roots, intelligence, understanding and perseverance among these seven billion people?"
"Multi-...... Many...... More ......"
"It must be a lot." Gu Tao slapped the table vigorously: "Then the question is, there are more customer groups and more needs, why is your performance getting worse and worse?" This is today's homework, and tomorrow I will write a 1,500-word thought report. ”
"Good...... Good. ”
And Wei Wei had already stood at the door of the kitchen and watched Gu Tao in the gushing class, and when she saw the expression of Xin Chen, who was usually invincible, as if she was being shocked by the worldview under Gu Tao's hands, when Wei Wei looked up and saw Gu Tao again, her eyes were full of amazement, but she also had doubts in her heart.
"That classmate, I think you've been talking for a long time." Gu Tao stretched out his hand and pointed at Weiwei: "If you have any questions, just ask." ”
"I ...... I...... I...... Oh. Wei Wei took a deep breath: "But in ancient times, pyramids, the Great Wall, and terracotta warriors and horses could be built...... I can't do it now, and there are still a lot of lost ......"
"I can answer this question, many things are not lost, I think that in addition to their god stick group, other industries will not be lost as long as they still exist." Gu Tao pointed at Xin Chen: "They lost it or did it themselves." As for most of the industries and crafts are not lost but eliminated, the Great Wall is used to resist invasion, the pyramids are used to bury people, and the terracotta warriors and horses are to accompany the burial, we now feel that they are strong only because compared to that era, they are undoubtedly powerful and terrible, but for modern times, I don't believe that the sharpest sword can withstand converter steelmaking, and I don't believe that the strongest horses can run cars, and special alloys can easily surpass the world-famous swords such as the cadre Mo Ye, and mechanical textiles can also easily replace manual embroidery, but the reason why many things still exist is because of two words - emotion, there is nothing that cannot be replaced by technology, except for emotion. In other words, if you want to rebuild a Great Wall now, it will be far less technically expensive than a high-speed railway connecting the north and the south, but people still think that the Great Wall is more majestic and magnificent because people subjectively inject emotions into it, which is a totem rather than a representation of productivity. It's like I can easily build an artificial doll that is as obedient and gentle as you, and it can even conceive naturally, but I like you more, not because you are better than that doll, but because you can interact with me emotionally. ”
After Gu Tao finished speaking, he took a sip of water: "Then next, classmate Xin Chen, I will give you a task." ”
"Here!"
"Call all your peers as you can and make an appointment to let me know." Gu Tao coughed: "Weiwei, when he decides the time, you can book a conference room at the hotel." I'm going to give them a lesson! Also, Xin Chen, you tell them that everyone who comes to the lecture pays two thousand yuan for the training, and there is no money to talk about it. ”
"Ah...... Yes? Xin Chen was stunned: "You don't mean that you can't use your knowledge to make a profit." ”
"Well, that's right. But only if my life cannot be threatened. Gu Tao patted the non-existent dust on his body: "Now this problem has arisen, although it has been solved, but I must prepare for the unknown future, in the more than a hundred years since I left my home planet, I can't predict their behavior patterns and technological processes, and if I guess correctly, the earth is already in a very dangerous state." Compared to the home planet, the technology I have in my hand is already backward technology, so there are some things that I can't count on, but the occult is another special path, and there is no accident that the mother planet is not allowed to develop this discipline, and after my cursory research, the height you can reach can completely resist the impact, but you yourself have died. So, what I'm doing now is not for profit, but for the sake of living, living on Earth, so it's not a violation. ”
After speaking, Gu Tao went to the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "I'm tired, you go and shake people." ”
