Cook's car turned towards the industrial area outside Marin before it entered Marin.

Led by a motorcycle, the car entered the heavily protected industrial area and soon stopped in front of a new, fully enclosed factory.

The special car stopped, Xu Jie, who received the news, was waiting for him outside the factory, the driver opened the door, and when Cook walked down, Xu Jie greeted him: "Welcome Mr. Cook, our boss is waiting for you in the factory." ”

"Please Mr. Xu to lead the way." Cook shook hands with Xu Jie with a smile and said politely.

As the third task of Future Technology Group, Xu Jie's popularity in the world is not low at all, especially among major enterprises around the world.

Cai Ruichen does not often appear in the public eye, and Xu Jie, as his assistant, has always represented Cai Ruichen outside.

led Cook into the automobile factory, and Cai Ruichen walked towards them from the factory.

This is the first time Cai Ruichen and Cook have met, one is a mature uncle, the other is a young man, and the two naturally can't make any sparks when they meet, but they can be regarded as sympathetic.

"Hello, Dr. Cai." Cook stretched out his right hand, shook it lightly with Cai Ruichen's right hand, and immediately said: "The whole world says that Dr. Cai's achievements have surpassed Mr. Jobs, I think it is very appropriate, not to mention that you are still so young." ”

"Mr. Cook is polite, I want to have a hard time, but I am really sorry that I didn't let you take a break because of the tight schedule." Cai Ruichen also said with a smile.

After some politeness. Cook's eyes immediately turned to everything inside the factory. in front of their eyes. It is a dazzling array of automated production lines, full of running robotic arms, and next to the entire production line, there are only a few engineers in yellow overalls who are inspecting the operation of the equipment.

"Mr. Cook, please take a look inside and see if the group's production process can enter your eyes." Cai Ruichen caught the interest in Cook's eyes. Immediately he gestured to please and said.

"Please."

Cook was naturally very interested, although he only saw the tip of the iceberg of an automated automobile production line in front of him, but the simplicity and cleanliness of these two points already made him very satisfied.

And compared with the BMW production line he inspected twice, the automobile production line in front of him looks much smaller, and the most important thing is that there are still many worker positions in BMW's automated production line. But here, there are hardly any jobs with human labor.

Give him the feeling. It's like the difference between those manual industrial machine tools and the linkage machining center, and there is no comparison at all.

Moving forward along the staff passage, several people walked into the side of the production line, and all of them became small.

On a long main drive belt, the skeleton of a sports car that looks very streamlined and graceful is moving slowly on the drive belt.

On both sides of the transmission belt, up and down, there are very flexible robotic arms, and behind these robotic arms, there are various other transmission belts, all of which are various combination modules of the car.

After walking into the modular automotive automated assembly line, Cook realized that he had underestimated the production technology of Future Technology Group.

Such a production technology has not been reached at all, even if it is BMW's automated production line.

Because he clearly saw that a car skeleton can be almost assembled in less than 20 processes.

A car is divided into almost 21 components, in the skeleton of the car, the seats and the interior of the car, is actually a whole module, directly installed into the skeleton of the car body from the bottom to the top.

The site and interior of the car are integrated, closely combined with the overall module of the car, and then the edge of the car skeleton is stably connected together by using high temperature.

Then there is the engine, the wheels and doors, the trunk and the lights, and a series of steps, all rhythmic.

Cook's face was filled with indescribable shock, and he found that this assembly line alone opened his eyes, and he thought that he was well-informed, and coming here was like entering the Grand View Garden, everything was so fresh, and of course, shocking.

The visitors stopped before the last process of car assembly, and a sci-fi sports car that had just come out of the paint booth was sent here by the transmission belt.

This is the final step of the entire assembly line, where the car is placed in a card slot that is almost identical to the body's body, and the four wheels are placed exactly on the tachometer pulley.

After a simple debugging of the car's built-in operating equipment, an engineer immediately connected the wiring of the test system to the interior of the car, and the external computer controlled the car's start and speed.

The two V8 sports car engines in series roar like beasts.

At this time, Cai Ruichen also took Cook to the computer of the test car, and the small wind tunnel began to create air currents, so that the car could withstand the wind in the wind tunnel.

Before he saw the picture of the car, Cook was immediately attracted by the computer on the test bench, because the computer in front of him did not have a fixed screen at all, but four screens projected in the air, and on the workbench in front of him was a wireless mouse and keyboard that looked simple.

Where the screen is close, it is the wind that is blowing in the small wind tunnel, and these four screens have not been affected at all, and the fineness and clarity of the display screen are no less than those liquid crystal displays with top technology.

And it also has a great sense of depth, with a three-dimensional effect of the naked eye, and the data and images on the screen seem as if they are really right in front of you.

Just seeing this picture, Cook couldn't calm down, he didn't expect that when he came to visit a production line, he actually saw high-end products in one of the most important areas of the Apple Group.

And Apple has been acquiring the augmented reality technology team, not just to achieve this technology, but I didn't expect that in the field where Apple invests heavily in research every year, the future technology group has begun to popularize it internally.

As soon as he saw the computer in front of him, Cook was very disappointed with the products in Apple's lab.

Especially after he saw that the engineer conveniently used his finger to debug the test index on the projection screen in front of him, he was even more shocked. Inside, there was even a feeling of disbelief that, in fact, he didn't think he was old and dizzy. (To be continued.) )
