Chapter 310 Construction Efficiency
The huge autonomous robot does not require workers to operate. The mechanical logic it carries is enough to maintain the operation of this big guy, and make it just like the puppet maid next to Perfectcott. Recognize voice commands and execute them.
Especially on this big guy, Perfectcott also specially added a picture recognition function to it.
It can identify any standard engineering design drawings and carry out construction according to the drawings, highlighting simplicity and peace of mind.
But correspondingly, this big machine also needs at least one alchemist and one engineer to maintain it.
After all, this big machine is like the large-scale construction machinery in the original world. They are indeed very powerful and have amazing work efficiency, but the maintenance is also amazing.
Fortunately, Purficot considered the issue of maintenance from the beginning of the design. It adopted a modular design as much as possible in the design of this big machine, simplifying the complex internal structure and making it more reliable. Easy to maintain and use.
But no matter what, an alchemist for troubleshooting and an engineer for solving technical problems are still necessary for this big guy.
This is also the experience accumulated from using the serpentine shield machine before.
When I used a serpentine shield machine to excavate the shelter underground in Fjord Town, I often encountered various problems.
Workers couldn't solve these problems, so they had to call alchemists and engineers to deal with them.
The alchemists and engineers, who were tired of the workers shouting because they were shouting so frequently, directly built a small room on the Serpentine Shield fuselage, and took two people to work in shifts every day. In that small room, make sure you are always available.
When they did this, not only the fault processing speed was enhanced, but also the failure rate was effectively reduced under the inspection of engineers and alchemists.
It must be said that workers in this era still have certain shortcomings in their overall quality, at least they cannot solve technical problems that are too complex.
The existence of engineers and alchemists is still necessary, and in comparison, Perficott prefers highly skilled talents rather than simple labor workers.
However, the technological level of this world and this era has restricted the development of production relations, so that the industrial structure of this world is still labor-intensive rather than technology-intensive.
However, with the popularity of fantasy alchemy, Perficott has enough reason to believe that all this will change in the future.
After all, the work efficiency of robots is by no means comparable to that of ordinary human workers.
Even the workers themselves have to admit this when they see that the four mechanical claws of the engineering robot can simultaneously grab building components or huge logs that require several people to lift. One machine is enough to support at least fifty of them.
Yes, after Purficott built the large autonomous engineering robot, he put it into the construction of the underground shelter in Fjord Town.
This big machine played its role very well and rapidly improved the construction progress.
Although the internal design height of the underground shelter is not high enough to accommodate this large robot, Perficott considered this at the beginning of the design, so the six legs of this big guy can be Foldable and telescopic.
It can extend any of the six mechanical legs to a length of at least thirty meters, and can also fold it into a short form less than five meters long.
This provides the robot with extremely high maneuverability and passing ability. Even the small working surface of the underground shelter construction site is like walking on flat ground for this robot. Of course, this robot does not follow the tunnel dug by the shield machine like ordinary workers, but like a spider, enters the underground shelter from the shaft reserved for the energy tower.
It uses its six mechanical legs to secure itself in the shaft, and then uses its four mechanical claws to carry out construction.
A large number of prefabricated building components can be easily transported from the ground to the interior of the underground shelter by this large spider-like robot, and then with the assistance of mechanical claws, workers assist in completing the final work. Assemble.
This saves a lot of labor in the construction of underground shelters. At least those workers no longer need to carry the building components hand-to-shoulder to the required location, and then waste time and effort on using simple tools. to assemble it.
With the help of robots, they can even complete the work that originally took three to five days in one day, and everyone feels more relaxed than before.
This has caused many workers to praise this big robot as a "worker's friend".
This made Purficott, who was originally worried that workers would think robots took away their jobs, feel dumbfounded.
However, she feels that her worries are not groundless. After all, it is only a robot assisting in construction, and it does require the assistance of workers to complete some tasks that cannot be directly completed with current robot technology.
In the final analysis, this is just a first-generation robot. Although its design has been perfected and has even been praised and recognized by Cuiyulu, this cannot hide the fact that the functions of this robot are still simple and crude.
In other words, what Perficott designed itself is just like a large crane, and it does not have the ability to do fine work.
Although for Purficott, she does have the ability to do this, and she can even design a batch of small engineering robots to specifically replace those workers.
But for the sake of employment rate and social stability, Purficott did not intend to do this.
Proper maintenance of jobs is necessary, and replacing all workers with small engineering robots is too costly and the cost-effectiveness ratio is unsatisfactory.
If small engineering robots replace workers, they can only carry out construction 24 hours a day. Other than this, the gap between them and ordinary workers is not big.
If Perfectcot adopts a three-shift work system and puts more workers on the construction site, so that they can also work 24 hours a day, the work efficiency gap between the two will actually not be the same. obvious.
At most, a small engineering robot can finish the work that took three days for workers to do in two days.
The consumption of the former is undoubtedly much smaller than that of the latter, and it can also solve the employment problem and increase social stability.
In contrast, Purficott has no reason to replace workers with small engineering robots.
This may be the difference in thinking between lords and technicians. If Perficott was just an ordinary alchemist, she might pursue efficiency more, but as a lord, she had to do it for herself Consider the people under your rule.
