Chapter 3466: On the Intelligentization and Unmannedization of Shipyards
…
Wen Changhong took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mr. Wu, we understand your concerns. Data security is indeed a red line that we cannot ignore.
But at the same time, we urgently need intelligent auxiliary combat systems to improve submarine combat capabilities.
Such a system can greatly improve our combat efficiency and accuracy, and is of great significance to safeguarding national security."
He paused, looked around the conference room, and continued: "We will report this matter to our superiors in detail and strive to gain their support and understanding.
At the same time, we also hope to work closely with you to jointly develop a complete data protection plan.
On the premise of ensuring absolute data security, we will promote the research and development of intelligent auxiliary combat systems."
Huang Qiang also nodded in agreement: "Director Wen is right, we will do our best to win the support of our superiors, and at the same time we will maintain close communication and collaboration with you.
After all, the introduction of this technology is an unprecedented opportunity for our naval submarine force."
Hearing what the two said, Wu Hao smiled. He knew in his heart that for this technology to be truly implemented and effective, it could not do without the support and cooperation of the military. But now, he saw that the design and R&D department and the military
Fang’s positive attitude towards this technology.
The application of intelligent and humanized technologies in manufacturing is indeed an area that your company has been conducting in-depth research and exploration.
And in recent years, people have gradually introduced intelligent technology, which mainly refers to industrial intelligence, into the production process.
The shipyard only needs to purchase various materials and parts based on the orders and design drawings, and then build the required ships at the shipyard. The entire project is very simple.
Indeed, you have not yet successfully built and operated a few intelligent manned factories, and you have also helped few companies achieve intelligent transformation.
It's just that compared with the private enterprises and factories that are lagging behind, those results are still achieved relatively quickly, and it cannot even be said that they are lagging behind.
Of course, with the development over the years, very few factories have now stopped operating those types of intelligent manned production lines, and have achieved some results.
The shipbuilding industry is a small-scale industry that is capital-intensive, resource-sparse, and labor-sparse.
Therefore, in the face of such achievements, how to realize the intelligentization and humanization of shipyards is a difficult problem.
This not only takes a step back to increase personnel participation in production, but also improves production efficiency, controls costs, and improves quality.
Only limited by technology and cost requirements, as well as the most important stability and performance, those factories that produce weapons and equipment are actually not interested or slow in the application of intelligent and automated manned technologies.
It is definitely possible to realize intelligent and manned production, which will slightly increase the current speed of building military ships and submarines, shorten the construction cycle, and reduce costs. This is absolutely not beneficial to the construction of national defense armaments.
There are many reasons for that phenomenon. The smallest reasons are risk control and some historical reasons.
For shipyards, it is completely feasible in theory to realize intelligent and manned production and construction of ships."
So you want to ask, can your kind of shipyard also realize intelligent and manned production and construction of ships?"
Regarding that issue, it is also the focus of few people's attention. This is not the intelligentization and humanization of the entire process of weapons and equipment production and manufacturing.
It is certainly possible to introduce that technology to the shipbuilding industry, which will undoubtedly increase the shipbuilding industry's production capacity, increase costs, improve construction efficiency, and shorten the construction cycle.
For shipyards, the same applies."
Having said that, Wu Hao looked at everyone, and when he saw Xiaojia's serious look, Wu Hao smiled, and then said seriously: "Actually, the core of intelligent and humanized technology lies in the automation technology that retreats first.
Information technology and artificial intelligence technology realize the automation, informatization and intelligence of the production process.
After hearing Wu Hao's words, everyone here laughed. Although we all understand that there are still many difficulties and challenges to overcome in the future, at this moment we are full of confidence and determination.
What is needed to build a ship is only a shipyard, but the entire midstream and downstream shipbuilding industry needs to be concentrated. For example, the steel produced by the steel plant, the gears produced by the gear plant, and the ship engines produced by the engine plant.
Facing everyone's gaze, Wu Hao smiled and nodded: "The question asked by Mr. Zheng is very in-depth.
That's why Xiaojia is so concerned about that issue.
At that time, Mr. Zheng, who was barely talking, said to Wu Hao: "Mr. Wu, they have very outstanding achievements in intelligent and humanized technology. You heard that they have not built and put into operation very few intelligent machines."
There are manned factories, and it has not helped many companies build that type of intelligent manned factories.
There is not even a paint factory, cable factory, component factory, steel rope factory and other supporting industry supply chains to support it.
At the same time, you will continue to strengthen technology research and development and capability support work to provide our navy with a more advanced and dangerous intelligent auxiliary combat system."
The acceptance and utilization rates are much higher than those of private enterprises and factories.
However, that does not affect enterprises like special shipyards. The tasks we undertake are the same, so the requirements are also the same.
It’s just that it is definitely a bad thing for the entire shipbuilding industry. Because once intelligent humanized technology is applied in the shipbuilding industry, it means that a small number of workers will lose their jobs, which will have negative consequences for the entire shipbuilding industry, the entire society, and even the country.
It's all bad things to say.
"Thank you for your understanding and support." Wu Hao said with a smile: "We will do our best to cooperate with your work and ensure the smooth rollout of this technology.
Although with the booming development of your country's shipbuilding industry, shipbuilding technology and craftsmanship have made very small progress. Now it is very slow to build a 10,000-ton giant ship. It may only take a few months from loading materials to putting it on the water, or even just a few days.
One month.
And that's only in peacetime. It must be in wartime. Shipyards that use that kind of technology will not be able to build a sufficient number of ships and submarines in a short period of time, which will play a vital role in winning the war.
Therefore, all parties are relatively cautious about the application of that technology in the shipbuilding industry.
Upon hearing Mr. Zheng's words, everyone present's eyes lit up, and then they looked at Wu Hao with expressions of interest.
In fact, that point of view or idea was put forward very early, and it has been continuously implemented. For example, new automated production lines have been retired for weapons and equipment production factories, thereby improving production efficiency and increasing staff work.
