105: Diversified development direction!

“It’s finally done!”

Guo Li Steel Factory.

Li Mubai looked at the masterpiece before him, a faint smile on his face.

After nearly a month, the fully automated parts processing production line was finally completed.

A sense of pride and satisfaction welled up from his heart.

With this production line, the speed of processing and producing parts would greatly increase.

Moreover.

This production line hardly needed human control.

One only needed to input the program, and the production line would autonomously process and produce parts.

This also meant that he and Ruan Xiu finally didn’t need to stay in this workshop, staring at the Numerical Control Machine Tool.

He could return to the pleasant days of slacking off in the office.

Now.

What he still needed to do was expand and upgrade the factory area.

Once that was done.

The Steel Factory would be able to earn more wealth, and his dream of exchanging for fighter jets would come closer and closer!

Just then.

A clear female voice suddenly came from behind him.

“Is this what you’ve been tinkering with for over twenty days?”

Li Mubai turned around, a slight smile on his face:

“Don’t underestimate this production line; with it, our speed of processing parts will increase by at least twenty times!”

After all, machines are not humans; there’s no such thing as fatigue.

Once started, parts would be produced continuously, and their efficiency would be many times faster than manual labor.

What’s more.

This was just one production line.

Once he assembled a few more production lines, he would be able to take on all the large and small orders from the outside world without any worries.

This way, the speed of accumulating exchange points would greatly increase.

“Is this thing that powerful?”

Ruan Xiu whispered.

“Of course it’s powerful! Oh, by the way, talented lady, is the program finished?”

Li Mubai suddenly asked.

“It’s all here.”

Ruan Xiu handed over a memory card.

In this era, USB drives had not yet been invented.

Seeing the memory card.

Li Mubai’s eyes suddenly lit up.

USB drives hadn’t appeared yet; if he could be the first to develop this thing, wouldn’t that mean he could make another fortune?

Fighter jets were his most desired research and development goal at the moment.

But what about after the fighter jets were developed?

Just the fifth and sixth-generation fighter jets had ridiculously high exchange prices.

Naval equipment, such as destroyers, cruisers, strategic nuclear submarines, and even nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

The exchange points required for these items were an astronomical figure.

If he relied solely on income from steel and parts processing, it would take an unknown amount of time to accumulate enough exchange points.

Therefore.

Simply relying on income from steel and parts processing would definitely not be enough.

To obtain huge exchange points and exchange for those top-tier first-level civilization achievements, the company needed to diversify!

As of now.

The industry at the forefront was undoubtedly the Internet industry!

At this time.

It was the period of vigorous development of the Internet.

If he could launch a series of Internet-related products now, he would surely be able to quickly establish a foothold in this industry.

The prospects of this industry could truly be described as boundless.

In his previous life.

The 'Two Ma' fathers, as well as giants like Apple and Huawei.

These all came from the Internet industry, which shows how good the development prospects of this industry are!

Moreover.

Entering this industry would also be beneficial for the research and development and manufacturing of sixth-generation fighter jets.

The information sharing function of fighter jets would require the support of the Internet to succeed.

However.

The Internet is a complex industry, and how to start specifically needed careful consideration.

Thinking of this.

Li Mubai temporarily set aside his thoughts on the Internet industry.

The most urgent task.

Was to debug the automated production line equipment.

Before long.

He embedded the program into the controller of the automated production line.

After debugging the program, he immediately started the machine and began parts processing.

The sound of the machine operating immediately echoed throughout the workshop.

Li Mubai came to the end of the production line, which was the product outlet, and waited quietly.

Soon.

A part appeared at the end outlet.

He picked up the part and walked to the measuring instrument to test its various data.

Only when he confirmed that the size was the same as the setting in the program did he feel relieved.

“How is it? Is the part qualified?”

Ruan Xiu asked from behind him.

“Uh, perfectly qualified. This production line can officially be put into use.

Didn’t we sign many contracts for parts processing?

Now we can start production!

The other people in the factory don’t know much about programming languages, so this production line will temporarily be handed over to you.

Let’s go to the office first and sort out all the orders, big and small.”

Li Mubai said, then stepped forward, intending to leave the workshop.

“So many machines, are you sure I can manage them all by myself?”

Ruan Xiu said, feeling helpless.

There were simply too many production machines in front of her.

If it were just one or two Numerical Control Machine Tools, she could manage and operate them.

But what was in front of her now was not just one or two Numerical Control Machine Tools; it was clearly a production line!

Even in other factories.

A production line would require at least several people to control it simultaneously, right?

And Li Mubai actually wanted her to control so many machines by herself; wasn’t that a joke?

Hearing this.

Li Mubai stopped and turned back, smiling faintly:

“Don’t worry, this production line, once the program is set, doesn’t require much human intervention.

You just need to get people to load raw materials in time.

And also, to move the produced parts away promptly.

This production line manufactures parts very quickly; if the already produced parts are not moved away in time.

Before long.

The output port will be blocked.”

Ruan Xiu looked at the production line, a hint of doubt in her eyes: “Is it that easy to operate?”

“Of course.”

Seeing that the other party didn’t believe him.

Li Mubai returned to the control panel, restarted the production line, and personally demonstrated it for Ruan Xiu.

Soon.

Tap, tap, tap...

At the output of the production line, one part after another continuously dropped onto the concrete floor, making a crisp sound.

“This... this is too exaggerated, isn’t it?”

Ruan Xiu widened her eyes, feeling incredible.

In just such a short time, dozens of small parts had already been produced.

This speed was simply too fast!

She clearly remembered.

Previously, when operating the Numerical Control Machine Tool, it took several minutes to make a small part.

But now.

These parts were falling onto the ground from the product outlet of the production line, one after another, as if they were free.

“What’s so exaggerated about this? It’s perfectly normal. I told you before that with this thing, the speed of processing parts can be increased many times over.”

Li Mubai turned off the machine, a nonchalant expression on his face.

Hearing this.

Ruan Xiu, however, looked at him in surprise.

You call this normal?

This speed was many, many times faster than before!

Li Mubai walked to the workshop door and realized that Ruan Xiu was still standing there, staring at the production line.

So he couldn’t help but remind her:

“Alright, with your intelligence, you should have learned it after one look, right? Come with me to the office first to properly sort out the order requirements.”
