Chapter 553: Endless Death
“Zi~Zi~Zi~”
As the staff operated the tablet in their hands, various parts of the robot moved in sequence.
You may move your fingers, lift your legs or feet, or turn your head, and only a slight mechanical transmission sound will be made in the process.
"Finger movement is normal..."
"Joint movement is normal..."
"Foot movement is normal..."
"Signal connection is normal..."
"Acoustic and light detection equipment detects normal..."
The staff recorded the test results one by one until the "acceptance passed" column of the last test item was ticked by the recorder...
The next moment, all the staff in the audience clapped and cheered!
“That’s great!” “Finally all the inspections passed!”
“It’s not easy, haha!”
“…”
The head of the Baiyeji Industrial Robot R&D Department is a middle-aged uncle wearing a blue engineer's coat.
After several days of intense work, he was a bit unshaven, but at this time he was in excellent spirits and clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
“Okay, okay, I know everyone has worked hard during this period! Although we just met the deadline, fortunately we successfully completed the first task assigned by the chief.
< br>Especially the engineers in the technical department , you are all the heroes of the project!"
"No, if you want to be the hero, it must be the chief!"
"No, have you ever seen any operating instructions? With 3D model notes?
I have been a bit tired these past few days, but to be honest, in all my years of working, I have never done a project that looks like assembly line production.
No wonder people in the software department say that working for the chief executive is the easiest job.
Even the time to tighten the screws and the torque to which they should be tightened are clearly marked for you.
Compared to what we are doing now, I feel like I am the assembly line robot that executes without any brain. "
"Yes, a task suddenly dropped from above, and the construction deadline was so tight, I thought there would be chaos in the assignment.
As a result, our group B had just assembled the elbow joints, and guess what, the big arms of group C and the small arms of group E were also finished.
Before I could react, the arm parts suddenly came alive!
The progress of our various responsible groups is so smooth..."
"Alas! Since I came to the company, I have really learned a lot. The execution of the plan is just like the multi-threaded operation of a computer.
I originally thought that the chief executive was just a god-level programmer, but I didn’t expect that he was actually a god-level project manager. ”
"What kind of god level? Chief Sir, in my mind, it is 'super god level'!
Have you seen the planning efficiency of me proposing optimization in the morning and updating the PMT (Project Management Plan) on the spot that afternoon?
How can we say that cross-border talents are rare? No Are you proficient in technology and project management at the same time?
Compared with the chief executive, the project manager of my previous company was less efficient and less precise. He was just a piece of shit! ”
“……”
As they talked, the project site turned into a star-chasing conference.
When everyone talks about "chief", they can't help but use honorifics, and their eyes are full of respect from technical practitioners to technical experts.
And the "chief master" they call him is naturally the god-level technical officer recognized within Baiye Ji...
The demon hunter!
In terms of status, this chief technology officer, who has never been seen before, is definitely the only one in the company.
No matter how unruly the technicians are, they will never express dissatisfaction as long as they come into contact with them.
They have truly conquered everyone with their products and strength. In terms of prestige, they even surpass the general manager Hu Yifei.
Even Hu Yifei once said publicly that if he and the witcher disagree, please follow the witcher's opinion...
In addition, the other party never Showing his true face and carrying a mysterious aura, he has become a legend inside and outside the company...
Hearing everyone's comments, as the head of the project manager's department, I felt even deeper.
For so many years of working on projects, this was the first time he encountered such a perfect project management operation. The whole process was completely textbook-level.
From task allocation, personnel arrangement, operating instructions, plan execution, project optimization, progress tracking...
Every step is as precise as a machine, even the execution time of each person All are calculated in minutes.
This kind of project manager who can coordinate the overall situation and perform extreme micro-management is unheard of.
What is even more outrageous is remote operation...
On weekdays, I always hear people from the software department bragging about how amazing and evil the chief executive who has never shown up is in software development.
Until this moment today, he realized that the rumors were still conservative...
This is definitely a person who is proficient in software, hardware, and even project management, and his logical thinking is extremely rigorous. Top cross-border talents in multiple fields!
Looking at the robot that his entire department worked overtime to build in front of him.
To switch to normal efficiency, even with detailed assembly drawings, the entire work would have to last at least one or two months.
And it only took them 9 days...
"I never expected that the first work of our industrial robot R&D department was not an industrial robot, but a humanoid robot..."< br>
He is also a senior engineer in the field of robots. Although this robot design drawing does not seem to have any new cutting-edge technology, the extremely simplified mechanical structure is obviously designed after thousands of optimizations.
For example, the foot joints, which move most frequently in daily activities, have been specially designed with modular wear-resistant parts.
Not only can this greatly extend the service life of the robot, but it is also very convenient to replace parts. Even ordinary people can complete it in a few steps by looking at the manual.
From these small details, it can be seen that this is by no means a "humanoid robot" designed hastily just to show off its technology and attract attention and attract investment.
Without a top-notch design team spending several years, it would be difficult to make every detail so perfect.
In terms of practicality, cost performance and possibility of mass production, he has never seen a more perfect work than this robot!
"Hey! Do you think the company is preparing to enter the civilian robot market?" someone speculated.
“It’s possible. After all, we already have detailed drawings. It’s definitely not a new project, but as usual, the entire development process is kept secret.”
"I asked why our R&D department was established before we even talked about our products and customers.
Maybe we call it the 'Industrial Robot R&D Department' just to deceive others?"
"I heard that the software department is also working overtime. This time, almost our entire software and hardware technology department "
"Well... do you think there is a possibility that the chief executive is not only on our side, but also takes care of the project progress of the software department?"
" Uh... Reason tells me that it's impossible, but if this matter is placed on the Chief Master..."
"Tsk tsk! Either way, you have to be the chief. If you don't take action, you will be the king!"
"So I always have a strange feeling that our entire technical department is used to provide the chief with help." Sir, did you do it?"
"No doubt, I have often dreamed that I have become a tool recently..."
"Hahaha..."
After all the jokes , the department head interrupted everyone with a smile.
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about work. Everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's have a department dinner tonight. Let's relax.
In addition, tomorrow is the weekend. I should be with my girlfriend when I go back. Friends, those who should take care of their children have one requirement: no one is allowed to work overtime!”
However, his words caused everyone to complain.
“Ah...but I still want to come over and study the design drawings...”
"Well... our department also has some technical details that need to be discussed at a meeting. After all, the next step is to conduct a software and hardware integration test."
"My overtime quota for this month has not been used up, and I also applied for weekends. Work overtime. ”
It must be said that Bai Yeji’s technical staff have almost no parallel imports in terms of technology if they can pass the zero “computer test” screening.
And this kind of technical talents with real materials are often very focused on their own professional fields, so they have more or less "workaholic" qualities...
However...
"It's useless to beg me. This is an order personally issued by the chief."
Faced with this "reasonable request", the head of the department reluctantly showed his hands.
As a high-tech company with extremely high profit returns, Bai Yeji’s various benefits are comparable to those of major international companies, including the overtime policy...
Since being understood by Meng Lang PUA, Hu Yifei has one more advantage...that is, he listens to others' advice.
I think back when the "White Night Period" was still the "Cretaceous Period", he almost lost his life because of continuous overtime work. Of course, he would never make such a "fatal" mistake again.
And Meng Lang said casually at that time, "Evaluate the company's work intensity. It is best to allow employees to take a vacation and do regular inspections and so on..."
This sentence was also regarded as a guideline by Hu Yifei, and he wrote directly Enter "Master Meng's Quotations".
So the company clearly stipulates that unless there is an emergency and Hu Yifei, the general manager, gives special approval, no overtime work can be forced on any project, and employees must punch in and leave by swiping their faces when they arrive.
If you work overtime normally, your working hours will be calculated at double wages, and there is an upper limit on the overtime hours that each person can work each month.
If you exceed the warning line, the human resources department will immediately come to you for a warning talk and ask whether the workload arrangement is unreasonable.
While arranging physical examinations, we will also investigate whether employees' immediate superiors have forced or hinted that employees must work overtime...
Under this policy full of humanistic care, employees who know the current situation of their peers will naturally Be grateful.
So not only does no one in the company object to overtime work, sometimes the project progress is tight, but there is also a strange phenomenon of "overtime hours" being extremely tight.
Hmm... If "overtime hours" can be traded, this thing must be hard currency within Baiyeji!
Because of this, engineers who are eager to see a new world of technology are naturally dissatisfied when they hear that they cannot work overtime on weekends.
"Stop complaining, let alone you. Even I am no exception, and the same is true for the software department downstairs...
Hmm... don't move those people over there with their eyeballs rolling around. What are you thinking about? All your access card permissions will become invalid tomorrow
Unless you want to use 007. You can physically break through the company's security system.
Or use hacking techniques to break through the firewall written by the chief himself. Otherwise, I advise you to save your efforts."
"Ah... No, the access card permissions have been stopped for me?”
Someone's thoughts were exposed and they immediately started to cry.
The person in charge looked at the watch helplessly.
"Here! It's time to get off work, everyone pack up and leave immediately, otherwise you will be late, but it will be counted as overtime..."
After hearing this, everyone immediately did Birds and beasts disperse.
Not long after, as the last person left, the lights in the entire experimental area went out one by one.
The sun is gradually setting.
As the last golden afterglow in the room slowly dissipated, it fell into complete darkness...
"Zi~"
However, the next moment, the darkness suddenly lit up. A pair of faint blue eyes.
【Body self-test starts... Each functional module driver is loaded... The core operating software is being installed...】
…
The next day.
Driving the Volkswagen bulletproof car given by the rich woman, Meng Lang took Xiaoyu to Baiyeji...
"Didi~" "Click!"
"Uncle, This door...how can you still brush your face?”
"Oh, well, you know that uncle has a lot of part-time jobs. He comes here occasionally to make a guest appearance."
"But... aren't we here to study? Why did we go through the back door?"
"This... is a big factory after all. What's the matter with me running around with a kid? Low-key, low-key!"
"Then why is there no one here?"
"It's the weekend, no one is normal, right?"
"Is it normal...? But I heard from my sister that 007 is the norm now, right?
At this time, many people in other companies are working?"
I don’t know. Xiao Yu, who had all the buildings cleared in advance by Meng Lang, looked confused.
"Haha... you also said it was another company. The company I brought you here is fundamentally different from other companies!"
Unprecedented and unprecedented. Is it strange for a black technology company to be a bit unconventional?
In fact, there are many reasons for the prevalence of "overtime culture" in China, but one of the most important reasons is the issue of industry profit margins.
If investors want to make a profit by investing in a project, they must ensure at least 10% annual profit, so that they can cover the cost of capital and make a small profit.
If the profit of a regional industry itself is only 8%, capitalists will not accept losses, so the result is that no one will invest at all.
If the country wants to attract investment, it can only dig out these 2% from other aspects to achieve the purpose of attracting funds.
Cutting employee benefits or increasing working hours has become the simplest and crudest method.
Then this method will be euphemistically called...demographic dividend!
So again, the enforcement of labor laws.
It’s not about right or wrong, it’s just a choice...
From the perspective of historical development, it is difficult to say whether this choice is right or wrong.
After all, if you don’t invest, you will always be poor, and if you work overtime, you will be temporarily tired.
Whether it is worse to be a farmer without a job or to work as a cow or horse with a job, it depends on the beholder.
To get rid of this predicament, in addition to a more reasonable wealth distribution method, the only way is to upgrade the industry and increase the profit margin of the entire industry.
Of course, for high-tech companies like Bai Yeji, whose return on investment exceeds 1,000%, this kind of trouble does not exist at all, and the 2% is completely dispensable.
Even if another 2% is posted, it is just a drop in the bucket for Bai Yeji.
Sufficient financial returns are the greatest basis for improving employee benefits...
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu actually nodded in agreement.
“Well! As expected of a big factory, a company that allows weekend breaks is indeed very different from other companies!
Uncle, you work part-time here, no wonder you don’t look like you work normally. I’m busy, and I don’t have to clock in at work.
It would be great if my sister could come to work in a company like this..."
"Uh..."
I have to say that having a sister who works overtime all year round has a great influence on children...
Looking at Xiao Yu who had a somewhat envious face, Meng Lang reluctantly patted her little head.
"What are you envious of? There is no double holiday. How can your sister have an occasional single holiday?"
I was miserable and started working.
That is "until death"... (End of this chapter)
