Chapter 143: Engineer Team
When Li Hao heard Wang Tong talk about the cancer cell factory, he was stunned. It is important to know that the manufacturing method of biomimetic crystals in scientific and technological data is molecular polymerization.
It was useless for him to think about this, and asked Wang Tong directly: "How did the manufacturing method of bionic crystals become a cancer cell factory?" I learned in the lab that it seems to be molecular polymerization. ”
After Wang Tong heard Li Hao's question, he directly told Li Hao the cause and effect.
"Mr. Li, our samples are made using molecular polymerization. However, the manufacturing cost is not high in this way, but the manufacturing process is too complex.
It can be easily done in the laboratory with a small amount of use. We tried to industrialize. Its yield has been very low, less than 5%.
The yield is not high, but the process is too complicated. More than 300 processes are required to produce biomimetic crystals, which takes a long time.
The price of biomimetic crystals is not high for industrial production in this way, but it is also extremely expensive due to additional factors such as time and material costs.
Director Du in order to reduce the price of bionic crystals. After many experiments, he found a way to industrialize production. ”
As Wang Tong spoke, he pointed to the big jar.
"This is the use of human lymphoma cells, an improved cancer cell factory. He directly used genetic engineering technology to implant gene fragments of biomimetic crystals into cancer cells.
Cancer cells have the property of infinite proliferation, and it survives for a very long time.
In this way, only some glucose, amino acids and trace elements are needed. It can produce a steady stream of biomimetic crystals, which are very costly and inefficient. ”
Wang Tong glanced at Zhou Yunsheng and continued: "After we improved the process, we have reported to Mr. Zhou. With her consent, we proceeded with the installation and trial production of the equipment. ”
Zhou Yunsheng nodded and said, "Wang Tong, they told me. Haozi, you were in the process of setting up a military industrial enterprise at that time. I also went to the Yizhuang Management Committee to buy land. Too busy to forget to tell you about this. ”
Li Hao said nonchalantly: "This is nothing, I have been too busy in the past two days, and I have not paid attention to the events on the cloud intelligence platform." ”
Zhou Yunsheng asked him: "I am also curious about this production method. I know that this method of cell cloning has been used in antibody production for a long time. Can our biomimetic crystals be used as well? It is not a technology that specializes in the production of protein products. ”
When Li Hao heard about the technology of cancer cell factory, he could think of the way to realize this technology, and explained to Zhou Yunsheng: "Our bionic crystal is made of several special polypeptides, which also belong to the protein class.
Through Wang Tong's introduction, I can analyze the implementation path of this technology. Professor Du must have sequenced the protein structure of the biomimetic crystals first. It then pushes back its RNA, and finally reverse-transcribes the DNA.
The synthesized DNA double helix structure is implanted into cancer cells. Now this technology is very mature, and it is not difficult for Professor Du's team to use this mature technology at all. ”
Then Li Hao said with a smile: "I already know the manufacturing method of bionic crystals, and the efficiency of the factory is enough to ensure that it is manufactured in this way." Let's take a look at the intelligent production line, as well as the finished products it processes. ”
Finally, under the leadership of Wang Tong, they walked into the processing workshop.
Wang Tong introduced to Li Hao as he walked: "Since the bionic lens has the same properties, when he processes it into products such as cornea or contact lenses. Several of these processes are identical.
We just connect the production lines together, and when it really turns into different production processes, we do the splitting process. ”
Li Hao: In Wang Tong's introduction, they gradually walked into the real factory.
When he first entered the factory, his first impression of the place was that it was quiet, not as noisy as other factories. The second impression is that it is empty, and there are hardly any workers on the assembly line, all of whom are working on machines.
Li Hao took a closer look, and he thought he had come to a factory that had not started. There are almost no workers in this factory.
As far as the eye can see, there are all lonely machines, placed in the production workshop. Most of the machines are well sealed. They are connected using conveyor belts.
The conveyor belt and the periphery are tightly wrapped with glass tubes.
The layout of this factory guarantees that the products produced will not be contaminated from the outside.
When Li Hao visited the factory, he couldn't stop nodding. The equipment at this plant is working well from the outside.
Its control system is new, and Li Hao installed the equipment in their company two days ago. Remote commissioning with the original line management system.
He found that the system was very weak and asked the computer company to write a simple operating system. Lay out the server in the factory and install part of the Parrot's control program. Remotely managed by Parrot, this small smart program can also control the company in case of an emergency.
Zhou Yunsheng visited the factory with him, and said happily as he walked: "Haozi, you see that this smart factory is in good order, you say that this is the future trend." I can see from this plant that this approach will soon be implemented throughout the country.
This factory does not need workers, plus material procurement, technical services, sales and quality control and other positions, the whole factory only needs more than 700 people to run completely.
With fewer factory workers, we can save more money to improve quality control. There are almost no major safety incidents in our factory. ”
The factory doesn't need assembly line workers to do this unskilled, repetitive work. In particular, China's demographic dividend has gradually disappeared, and labor costs have increased sharply. Now the repetitive manual labor has been completely changed to robot control.
When Li Hao heard Zhou Yunsheng's words, he said with a smile: "Smart factories don't need workers, this refers to assembly line workers." But its requirements for workers are actually higher than those of ordinary factories.
There are no ordinary assembly line workers in the factory, but there is a group of technical service teams, mainly equipment maintenance engineers.
Now it's all high-tech equipment, and when it's in good condition, it can be operated intelligently. But high-end devices have their common drawback, which is that they are too delicate.
It is necessary to have a highly skilled maintenance engineer to keep the plant in good operation. ”
When Wang Tong heard Li Hao's words, he immediately said respectfully: "Our team of engineers is very large, and they will conduct routine inspections of equipment every day. The equipment is overhauled once a quarter. ”
He continued: "Today's overhaul will begin immediately. We walked forward for a while and saw them.
Don't see that we don't have workers, but there are many types of jobs that provide peripheral services for this factory.
I'll use the process of personalizing orders as an example. Our customer service department is responsible for receiving orders and requests from our customers.
The technician then reviews it, and after passing it, it is sent to the artificial intelligence to generate the process method according to the conditions of the equipment.
Let the equipment automatically allocate the path and processing technology of the assembly line according to the customer's requirements. To achieve the purpose of product personalization. ”
Li Hao basically understands the operating mechanism of this factory, and there is a parrot to exercise overall control over this factory. Coupled with the real-time detection of engineers, the safety of the equipment is guaranteed.
They continued to walk towards the inside of the factory, and Li Hao could now observe all the production status of the equipment inside the factory.
After several treatments, the biomimetic crystal is molded into a certain shape, which varies depending on the product. into a different nature.
A biomimetic lens made into a cornea, it is directly processed by the device into a five-layer structure similar to the cornea.
It can be seen that this semi-finished product is stored in the device, only after the patient's specific data is obtained. According to the specific data of the patient's eye, the next step of the process will be started and personalized for him.
Contact lenses are easier to process than corneas because they have a simpler structure and only need to consider the shape of the person's eyes and the specific prescription.
These products are only the last few processes that can be completed.
This is the case with individually customized products, and the final processing cannot be carried out without specific data of the consumer.
But it processes a product and delivers it directly to the consumer. The cost pressure on the company as a whole is low.
When they reached the middle of the factory, they saw more than 100 engineers wearing blue overalls and holding various pieces of equipment in their hands.
Seeing Li Hao and them coming, the team was still not scattered. The lead engineer is arranging today's task.
"One team inspects the bionic crystal production area, the second team inspects the production line, and the other teams test the operation of the equipment according to their respective tasks."
Seeing that they dispersed, they took the equipment to the designated place and began to test the machine.
Wang Tong said: "Every equipment in our factory is tested by a group of personnel. In the event of an accident, the inspector needs to be responsible. ”
Li Hao saw them working seriously with the equipment. This kind of equipment is very advanced portable industrial testing equipment.
There are laser levels, high-energy ray flaw detectors. Portable smart welder.
They work in teams of multiple people to inspect the entire plant in real time.
The smart factory looks very high-end, but it has high investment costs and high control requirements. There is also a strong dependence on high-end technical engineers.
The more high-end the equipment, the more logistical requirements are dependent. To ensure the perfect operation of the factory, it is necessary to have such engineers who work quietly behind the scenes.
The most important part of building a smart factory that can run well is to assemble a team of highly qualified engineers.
