Production Line Problem

Zhang Yi thought for a moment before cautiously asking again, "Then Jia Qing, since you can't develop a computer system, I wonder if you can develop control systems for CNC Machines, or systems for Fully Automated Production Lines or Semi-Automated Production Lines?"

Jia Qing didn't answer Zhang Yi's question immediately. Instead, he thought carefully before replying, "Boss! Regarding the CNC system for CNC Machines, if you give me enough time, I can develop it. After all, I am this type of scholar, and it's much simpler than a computer system. However, even to develop a CNC system, you must hire a junior mathematics scholar to assist me, and the time required will be very long, at least a year and a half.

As for Fully Automated Production Lines, that depends on the complexity of the production line. If it's a relatively simple production line, then the system for the production line will also be relatively simple, which is still within my capabilities.

If it's a more complex production line, such as the production lines for cars and airplanes in your civilization, then I alone would be powerless."

"I wonder if you know about the Aerodynamic Bicycle in the system, and if you have the ability to develop a Fully Automated Assembly Production Line for this bicycle?" Zhang Yi asked again.

"Boss! Of course I know about this bicycle. After all, this bicycle is produced in many universes across the myriad worlds. In some civilizations, this bicycle is even their most important mode of transportation. Although this bicycle looks relatively complex, it is actually not difficult to build a system for a Fully Automated Production Line for this type of bicycle. Moreover, I have participated in the creation of similar systems in other universes, so building a Fully Automated Assembly Production Line system for this type of bicycle is not difficult for me." Jia Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Zhang Yi's words.

"Alright! How about this! Since you are the only professional industrial software engineer in the factory, I will first appoint you as the head of the Industrial Software Engineering Department. At the same time, you will also fully assist the Product Research and Development Department during this period to build the Fully Automated Assembly Production Line for the Aerodynamic Bicycle." Zhang Yi thought for a moment and said.

Originally, Zhang Yi wanted to directly assign Jia Qing to the Product Research and Development Department, but then he thought that there would definitely not be only Jia Qing as a software engineer in his factory in the future, so he appointed him as the head of the Software Engineering Department. After all, people recruited in this world are never as reliable as these hired scholars.

After Jia Qing went out, Zhang Yi didn't follow him out. Instead, he continued to sit at his desk, thinking about what to do next. After all, his factory currently only had one product, and the production capacity was still very low. If he hadn't handed over the less important matters to Zhu Gang, then with just Zhang Yi's own factory, he might not even be able to supply Huang Jie in Hang City, let alone open up new sales channels.

Just as Zhang Yi was thinking about these things, Jia Qing, who had just gone out, came back in and said to Zhang Yi, "Boss! I just forgot something. It's like this, in addition to being very proficient in software development, I also have some achievements in glass chemistry. So I hope the boss can purchase a set of equipment for manufacturing glass. Of course, it doesn't have to be large equipment, even a small set of equipment will do, or even a miniature equipment that can only be used for experiments, I can make do."

"..." Zhang Yi was speechless after hearing Jia Qing's words. He specifically came back just to say this. However, Zhang Yi still agreed to purchase a small set of glass production equipment for him. After all, a small set of glass production equipment doesn't cost much, and Zhang Yi also planned to get involved in the chemical industry after the factory was on the right track.

So it was fine to prepare in advance. The most important thing was the meaning contained in Jia Qing's words. Since he said that he also had achievements in glass, especially glass chemistry, his level must be high, otherwise he wouldn't have said it, and he wouldn't have specifically asked Zhang Yi to purchase equipment for him.

Afterward, Zhang Yi returned to the Scholar Hiring System, but this time Zhang Yi was just looking and didn't intend to continue hiring scholars from the system. It wasn't that Zhang Yi didn't want to hire scholars from the system, but rather that he didn't have many Scholar Coins left in his hand, so he could only temporarily do this and hire them when he had enough funds.

Just as Zhang Yi was continuing to look at the scholars in the system and worrying about money, in the office of the Jiangnan Province Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Group in Ning City, the core leaders of their group were also holding a meeting. In addition to the core leaders of the group, even some directors who usually did not participate in the group's management were present at this meeting.

"Everyone, let's discuss! How should we view this new Aerodynamic Bicycle? As far as I know, this bicycle has only been on the market for less than a week, and it has already sold over a thousand units.

At the same time, according to the information I have received, in addition to these Aerodynamic Bicycles that have already been sold, the orders for this bicycle have reached several thousand units so far. This bicycle has also appeared on the internet during this period, and the daily sales volume has now reached nearly a hundred units." Jiang Zhimin, the general manager of the group, stood up and spoke first after the meeting began.

"General Manager Jiang! I have also looked into the Aerodynamic Bicycle you mentioned, and I even specifically bought one and brought it to our factory's new product research and development department. Our factory's product research and development department has been studying that bicycle for the past few days and found that this bicycle is indeed a very remarkable product.

However, I do not recommend that our group also produce this bicycle. Even if our group wants to produce this Aerodynamic Bicycle, there are great difficulties. First of all, there is the cost issue. According to the results I have analyzed, the cost of this bicycle alone is over four thousand, and the cost of the raw materials is actually not high.

However, this bicycle is very difficult to process. All the parts of this bicycle need to be processed by ourselves, and they are not compatible with the bicycle parts on the market at all. The key is that the precision of the parts of this bicycle is very high, and they must be processed with high-performance machine tools. Some parts even have to be processed with imported ultra-high precision machine tools, and even with imported high-performance machine tools, some parts may not be able to be manufactured.

In addition to these, there is also the patent issue. All the patents for this bicycle are the nodes of this bicycle and cannot be bypassed at all. Once bypassed, even if we solve the processing problem, the performance will be greatly reduced. Even with the same air storage capacity, the range of what we produce is less than one-third of theirs, and the speed is only over ten kilometers per hour." Just after Jiang Zhimin finished speaking, a senior executive stood up and said. This senior executive was the head of their group's Marketing Department.
