Chapter 291: Manufacturing Dilemma
The training of lunar astronauts in the northwest of the Republic is quietly going on, and Chaos Biology is also sampling special scientific researchers to cooperate with the Lunar Exploration Center to manufacture related equipment and instruments, among which the outer membrane of the most critical lunar base Yuli Biological Battery Module will be tested at high temperature to meet the high temperature of about 60 degrees on the Moon.

The republic's lunar base construction plan is kept secret from the media and the public, and even the first lunar base materials that have been launched are claimed to be ordinary probes used to obtain lunar soil samples and recover them for research.
For people around the world, the most concerned is not the unannounced lunar base construction plan of the Republic, but the intelligent creatures that are gradually moving towards civilian use.
In 2021, whether it is the Republic or the surrounding Southeast Asian countries, the labor cost of the manufacturing industry has increased significantly, and in the case of global overcapacity, the labor cost has soared from about 31% of the product in 2016 to about 45%, and it has been very difficult for many manufacturing enterprises to survive.
In January 2021, after Trump took office, he began to promote the plan to return the manufacturing industry to the United States, whether it is the mobile phone industry led by Apple or the automobile and large machinery manufacturing industries led by General Motors, under the condition that the labor cost of the Republic is close to that of the United States, it will begin to return to the United States, which is a huge crisis challenge for the Republic of the manufacturing country.
In order to meet the economic growth and stabilize the people's living standards, the manufacturing industry must not go! At least not yet!
In the case of intensified market competition and the inability to reduce the cost of other resources, the only way to reduce labor and machinery costs can be taken.
A year ago, the giants of the manufacturing industry were looking forward to the dawn of robots or artificial intelligence, but now they are turning their attention to the creatures of chaos!
Skilled intelligent creatures are much easier to use than simple artificial intelligence, if artificial intelligence is programmed modular, can solve 99% of the common problems, then the remaining 1% of the success or failure of the product personality problem, they are not able to solve.
One day in July, more than a dozen large-scale labor-intensive manufacturing enterprises such as Foxconn, Haier, and Shishi garment and textile factories organized a delegation to Yongyue Island to investigate, hoping to find a solution to the problem of reducing labor costs from intelligent organisms.
At this time, the service industry jobs on Yongyue Island have basically been replaced by intelligent beings.
It is the scavenger of intelligent creature A who cleans up the streets, it is the waiter of intelligent creature A who serves tea and water to everyone at the meeting, and even the one who distributes the famous brand is also intelligent creature A, and it is the intelligent creature A postman who flies around in the sky to deliver couriers to everyone!
The guests were shocked that this is a fantasy world, a magical world that can only be witnessed in science fiction movies! This is a world that you can't imagine after stepping out of Yongyue Island!
"I'm X my God!" A reporter carried a camera to shoot the intelligent creature A scavenger, and the scavenger showed a sincere smile to the reporter but was not disgusted!
The Chaos Creatures employee who followed the tour explained: "Scavengers can work 18 hours a day to clean up garbage without interruption, they are never lazy, they will find their own fun in their work, and the efficiency of scavengers is 10 times that of ordinary sanitation workers!" ”
"It's amazing, it's incredible!" The reporter sighed again and again.
At the banquet meeting, Wang Jia introduced the situation of the development of intelligent biology and the types of work that can be replaced to the visiting manufacturing bosses.
The manufacturing giants are not calm.
Foxconn boss Lao Guo couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Wang, do you mean that intelligent creatures can replace all the labor of skilled workers in our factories now?" Can you also learn to update your manufacturing knowledge at any time? ”
"Yes!" Wang Jia replied: "Foxconn does not have high requirements for the technical ability of skilled workers on the assembly line, its design is much simpler than the postman who delivers the express, according to the current production process of Chaos Biology, we can reduce the cost of intelligent biology below the current labor cost!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lao Guo was not calm!
At present, the cost of Foxconn's assembly line workers, calculated in the western city of Rongcheng, is about 3,500 yuan a month after counting five social insurances and one housing fund.
Wages don't look high, but they also can't recruit workers.
Because the work on the assembly line is repetitive and mechanical, the work intensity is high, and the psychological pressure is high, most of the newly recruited young employees will choose to leave when they do not become skilled workers, and now many young people also advocate freedom, unless they really have no money, they will not work at Foxconn.
The cost of 3,500 yuan looks very low, but the cost of training, psychological counseling, time cost loss caused by sudden resignation, and elimination rate of unskilled workers is far from 3,500 yuan. So it's hard for businesses!
Within Foxconn, a special cost analyst has calculated that the labor cost of a worker on an assembly line is about 4,500 yuan, counting the sum of the above costs.
And in the foreseeable future, it will be more and more difficult to recruit workers on the assembly line, and the cost will be higher and higher! And what about the use of machinery or artificial intelligence?
The cost of a mobile phone production line mechanical equipment line (or robot) on the assembly line is about 3 million, which can replace about 10 workers, but manufacturing enterprises are changing at any time, and the quality requirements of manufacturers for products are also changing at any time.
Your device today is for the production of mobile phones, and tomorrow you may have to produce VR glasses, and then replace it with a 3 million device, and eliminate the old one?
The 3 million equipment you buy today requires you to screw it, and tomorrow you will be asked to paste the screen at home, what should you do?
People can be flexible, but mechanical equipment or robots are large-scale and programmed, and they will not be easily flexible.
So, the cost of using robots is just as high!
Only people who can learn and adapt themselves are the cheapest cost, and now it's good! Intelligent beings close to humans are here! Not to mention the high efficiency, you won't be lazy, you don't have to buy social security, you don't have to worry about psychological problems, you don't need to set up KTV bars and other entertainment places to relieve psychology in the Foxconn production area, you don't have to worry about safety issues, and you won't worry about the social shock caused by N jumps.
Lao Guo figured out this truth, and he was already very willing to try to cooperate with chaotic creatures, and try to use intelligent creatures instead of artificial ones.
There are also Haier, garment production and other enterprises that have ideas.
The most attractive thing about intelligent creatures for these companies is that they can work uninterrupted like machines, and they can progress and learn like humans in their work, and adapt to changes in the new situation at any time.
Lao Guo spoke: "Hon Hai is willing to discuss the suitability of cooperation with your company, and if the cost is suitable, we are willing to try to use intelligent organisms instead of labor." ”
