Just as Chen Nian expected, Wang Jiancheng completed his technical output in just one day. Before finally submitting it to the 611 Institute, he even called Chen Nian to confirm his intention.
Of course Chen Nian had no objection. After all, the real buyer was Xinghuo, himself.
Therefore, the price negotiation went smoothly. Wang Jiancheng transferred the technology in the form of patent authorization, and Xinghuo paid him a one-time authorization fee.
In this transaction, Wang Jiancheng received 6.5 million.
——
Of course, the most important price is actually the control software he adjusted. As he said, with such simple requirements, those hardware technologies are really not worth a few dollars.
This price made Wang Jiancheng extremely satisfied. On the day he received the money, he transferred two million to Chen Nian's card without any explanation, making Chen Nian dumbfounded.
Good guy, this comes with a kickback, right?
After much talk, Chen Nian returned one million, and let the remaining one million lie in his bank account to eat dust.
What he is most concerned about now is how effective this exoskeleton is.
The first set of exoskeletons made by Wang Jiancheng himself has been sent to Norinco as a sample. It is estimated that the assembly line version will be born in more than a week.
The workers on the Deep Blue 16 project only have to work hard for more than one week.
A few days later, a hidden corner on the deck of No. 001.
Two uniformed workers sat side by side on the edge of the deck, their oily gloves thrown aside. The older worker took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to the young man's hand and said:
"Come on, Xiao He, take one."
The young man named He Shuangniu hesitated for a moment, then declined:
"Uncle Feng, isn't it okay? The management regulations stipulate that we are not allowed to smoke on the work surface."
"If you really want to smoke, let's get off the boat. It's almost rest time anyway."
After hearing his words, Feng Tiecheng snorted disdainfully, lit a cigarette and smoked it, and then said:
"Who cares when it's like this? Look at the overtime work in the past two days. Yesterday, when Xiao Li returned to the dormitory, his muscles cramped all over his body and he couldn't breathe. He was sent directly to the hospital for emergency treatment."
"The work is too intense. If the supervisor doesn't see the matter of smoking, the workers will probably start a fuss."
"Forget about smoking, take a look at the people working in the cabin. How many of them still follow the regulations and procedures? How can you save effort?"
"I said you must wear protective shoes, but I've seen quite a few without them in the past few days. It's really unbearable for your feet after wearing them all day long - didn't the supervisor care?"
He Shuangniu was stunned, sighed and said:
"It is indeed too hard. I have been working here for several years, and no project has been as hard as this."
"Although this project is indeed important, it is not done in this way."
"What can I do?"
Feng Tiecheng blew out the smoke and continued:
"Without this aircraft carrier, we would have been bullied."
"You haven't watched the news and don't know how difficult it is outside now."
"Without an aircraft carrier, the advantage we finally gained by relying on aircraft will be gone in a short time."
"How can I say that the superiors are worried? If I were in their position, I would be more careless than them!"
"It's pretty good now. The country does have some money. The salary has been doubled several times. The food is good and the nutrition has kept up. I can survive for the time being."
"If we hold on for a while longer, we can build this ship and we can win a military medal."
He Shuangniu on the side nodded slowly. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and took a cigarette from Feng Tiecheng's hand.
As he lit the fire, he said vaguely:
"That's the same truth, but how long will it last? Judging from this progress, it will take at least one or two years."
"We won't be doing this for the past two years, right?"
"I'm really afraid something will happen."
Feng Tiecheng's eyes changed and he said nothing.
Yes, something will really happen if this continues.
Compared with He Shuangniu, he is actually an experienced old worker.
Before coming to Dalian Shipyard, he had participated in large-scale projects in the Kunlun Mountains and witnessed his co-workers collapse in front of him.
Therefore, he knows better than He Shuangniu what is the most dangerous thing in such large-scale projects.
It’s not a harsh natural environment, nor is it a “mysterious” or “unknown” risk.
It's about the compromises made by rules and procedures as the intensity continues to increase!
Just like they are doing now, smoking in places where smoking is not allowed because the work is too strenuous.
Because the working environment is too harsh, I don’t wear labor protection equipment when it is necessary.
These problems are not a big deal in the first place, and they are not necessarily risky.
But when problems are piled up one after another, and the supervisor in charge of the process tacitly turns a blind eye to them, the consequences will be serious.
By that time, the probability of accidents will not be "in case", but "inevitable".
Thinking of this, another thought came to his mind:
The supervisor of this project, or the person in charge of this project, do they really not know this?
How is this possible?
But why don't they care?
Maybe they're just weighing the pros and cons.
They have "risk acceptance" for things outside these rules and are willing to pay some "price" in exchange for greater benefits.
It is difficult for Feng Tiecheng to say whether such "risk acceptance" is good or bad, right or wrong.
In the grand scheme of things, this is definitely fine.
But if it were specific to each person, he felt that something was wrong.
After all, in such an environment, I am likely to be one of the "prices" I will pay in the future.
The cigarette in his hand had burned to the end. He put it out on the deck and then put it into his pocket.
Seeing his actions, He Shuangniu followed suit, but just as he was stamping out his cigarette butts, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that several people were walking over on the deck behind him.
One of them was wearing a white safety helmet specially designed for supervision.
He Shuangniu became nervous instantly. He quickly stuffed the cigarette butt into his pocket and walked away quickly with Feng Tiecheng.
"Don't call me, don't call me"
He Shuangniu prayed silently in his heart, wondering what the terrible thing was. Before he could take a few steps, a man's voice came from behind:
"Hey, Feng Tiecheng, wait a minute!"
Seeing that they could no longer escape, the two had no choice but to stop. Feng Tiecheng came forward with a smile on his face and said to the supervisor in the middle:
"Xu Gong, let's just rest here and do nothing else."
The supervisor rolled his eyes and asked:
"Nothing else? I asked you to take out the things in your pocket now. Do you dare to take it out?"
"How many times have I told you that smoking is not allowed in the venue, but you don't listen, right?"
"No, no, I'm just too tired."
Feng Tiecheng nodded and bowed while secretly looking at the people next to the supervisor, but the more he looked at him, the colder his heart became.
I don’t know anyone, so it’s obviously not someone from the project.
There's a high probability that it's a leader from above who comes down to inspect the situation - and it's possible that he's the kind to enforce discipline.
This time, I am afraid that I will be caught as a typical example.
It's okay to be fined for being unlucky, but it would be troublesome if things got serious and you were fined.
You know, those who can work here are not temporary workers. If you are fired, it is equivalent to losing your iron job.
But what he didn't expect was that after he said this, the supervisor not only did not refute, but instead said:
"I know you're tired, but rules are rules."
"If there are no rules in the venue and something happens, will you be responsible?"
"When you get off work later, you can go find me to issue a fine, you know?"
Feng Tiecheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He knew what "go by myself" meant, but he didn't need to go.
I was let off.
So, he quickly said thank you several times in succession, and after the supervisor saw his attitude, he just waved his hand gently and said:
"Don't worry about these nonsense, I know you have difficulties too."
"The superior leaders are here today to solve your problem."
"This is Chen Nian and Chen Gong. He needs your help."
Feng Tiecheng looked in the direction of the supervisor's finger, and his eyes met Chen Nian, who was standing at the edge.
Chen Nian smiled and said:
"Brother Feng, right? I've heard of you a long time ago. You're an eighth-level fitter. You're very skilled!"
Feng Tiecheng quickly waved his hand and said humbly:
"No, no, I'm just looking for something to do in my position, leader. What do you want from me?"
"Talking as we walk."
Chen Nian waved his hand and led the group of people to turn around and walk toward the main deck.
In fact, he did not go to Feng Tiecheng "on purpose" this time, but chose the most suitable test subject after Gu Lidong's recommendation.
Feng Tiecheng is an experienced installation fitter who undertakes a lot of work with high intensity and high precision requirements. Let him be the first to experience the mechanical exoskeleton to achieve the best inspection results.
Moreover, based on Feng Tiecheng's past experience, Chen Nian could tell that he was a worker with strong receptivity and learning ability, and it was almost impossible for him to say something against his will because of his resistance to new things.
If he finds it useful, it is useful.
If he thinks it is useless, it at least shows that there is still room for further optimization of this mechanical exoskeleton.
Soon, several people arrived at the center of the main deck, where a set of mechanical exoskeletons that had just arrived had been installed.
At this time, Feng Tiecheng had already guessed Chen Nian's intention. He stared closely at the exoskeleton in front of him and asked in a surprised tone:
"This is a robot?"
"Boss, are we going to use robots to do our homework?"
Chen Nian shook his head and replied with a smile:
"It's not that advanced. This is just a set of auxiliary equipment."
"You can simply understand it as a 'wheelchair' for able-bodied people, which can make you work more effortlessly."
"That's the mechanical exoskeleton!"
Feng Tiecheng said immediately.
This surprised Chen Nian. He turned to look at Feng Tiecheng and asked:
"You know about mechanical exoskeletons?"
"How come you don't know! I went to Germany for exchange before."
Feng Tiecheng's expression was a little proud. After a pause, he continued:
"At that time, mechanical exoskeletons were already used in some of their car assembly plants, mainly for workers who needed to stand or lie on their backs for a long time."
"To put it simply, for those workers who cannot put their hands down when they raise their hands, many of them use exoskeletons."
"However, their exoskeletons are basically passive - they do not rely on electricity, so they have great limitations."
"At that time, I was still thinking about when this thing would be available in China, but then I changed my mind and realized it was unlikely."
"Our manpower is not as valuable as theirs. If we really can't do it anymore, just replace it with a new group of people."
Speaking of this, Feng Tiecheng suddenly fell silent.
He seemed to realize that something was wrong with what he said, and was afraid of causing Chen Nian's displeasure.
However, Chen Nian nodded with deep understanding.
"Manpower was really worthless in the past."
"However, things are different now. Large-scale projects are growing explosively. In the future, the most valuable people will be industrial workers."
"Therefore, it is also necessary to get some labor equipment to help workers improve working conditions and improve work efficiency."
"Not much to say, since you know exoskeletons, go ahead and try it!"
"okay!"
Feng Tiecheng hurriedly stepped forward, and with the help of the technical staff on the side, he put on the equipment in a few clicks.
After moving his hands and feet a little, he excitedly said:
"This thing is great. It's very easy to put on and take off. Once you become proficient, one person can probably put it on and take off it."
"It's quite flexible to move. What is it used for? Is it force feedback signal transmission?"
"Do you still understand this?"
Chen Nian was even more surprised. Feng Tiecheng smiled sheepishly and replied:
"Love to speculate."
Then, he looked at the heavy objects that had been placed aside, walked over, gently bent down, and reached out to hold the handle of the heavy objects.
Driven by the intelligent algorithm, the joints of the exoskeleton legs locked instantly, and the motors of the arms, shoulders, and waist ran at high speed. The power reached the terminal in less than half a second. Feng Tiecheng just exerted a slight force, weighing A hundred kilograms of weight was lifted so easily!
"Damn it! This thing works so well!"
Feng Tiecheng was even more excited. He quickly put down the heavy objects, and then took on several seemingly incomprehensible postures, changing several movements such as half-squatting, lying on his back, or standing.
Chen Nian could tell that this was the action he used most often in his daily work.
After a series of tests were completed, Feng Tiecheng was reluctant to take off his exoskeleton.
He walked slowly towards Chen Nian and subconsciously reached out to hold Chen Nian's hand.
Chen Nian hurriedly avoided it and said slightly teasingly:
"Don't crush it with my hands."
"No, no! This equipment does not have palm assist!"
"Leader, this thing is too advanced. Who researched it? Can we use it?"
"Of course."
Chen Nian replied decisively.
He pointed to the row of packing boxes behind him and said:
"Did you see that, 60 units have been sent to you?"
"In the next few months, another 600 units will be sent."
"By then, most of the cabin workers will be able to use this thing."
"Very good!"
Feng Tiecheng excitedly held Chen Nian's hand.
He is not only happy for himself, nor is he happy that "work can become easier".
He was happy about this whole project.
He had a hunch that after this set of equipment became popular, the efficiency of the aircraft carrier project at hand would be greatly improved.
Perhaps, the estimated construction period will not be used up at all.
Two years to complete the renovation?
No, we may only need a year - or even less
