Monster Factory - 872

The compound eye camera is manufactured on a fully-moving assembly platform.

The full-motion assembly platform is the magic weapon for the large-scale mass production of small products by the giant animal industry. This can be used to set up the process steps in advance, and the equipment uses many robotic arms to assemble a product from the first thousands of parts into one. The overall artifact, the capacity of each one is no less than an assembly line.

Taking mobile phone manufacturing as an example, Foxconn’s OEM mobile phone products require hundreds of thousands of assembly line workers to stand on the production line, each responsible for a process, in order to create the number of production of millions of mobile phones in one day.

There may be dozens of people on a line. The first person may be responsible for installing the camera, the second person may install the wireless communication module, and the third person may install the speaker, so that the transmission is carried down layer by layer.

Everyone is standing in front of the workbench. When the guide rails drive the mobile phone to you, you only need to put the spare parts module that you are responsible for, and use the auxiliary tool that can automatically spit out the screws to fix the screws, or connect their connectors.

All of your processes, even one gesture of raising your hand, have been studied more than a hundred times by engineers. They design any device imaginable to assist you in completing this uncomplicated program.

The installation screw has an automatic wire-out machine, and the screw-in process is also all electrically operated. However, during the installation process, you can’t make any extra actions. It is strictly necessary to install a precision screw within 6 to 8 seconds. Strictly, the time to go to the toilet is restricted, otherwise the whole line will be stopped if one person stops.

At the end of the day, this action is repeated thousands of times and tens of thousands of times.

Mobile phones can be said to be the most sophisticated and advanced products among civilian electronic products. But looking at its production process on the other hand, it is a completely labor-intensive processing plant. No one can hold on for several years under such boring and high-intensity work.

The full-motion assembly platform is to mechanize all these actions.

The principle is not complicated. Whether it is installing an electronic module or connecting a circuit, this is actually a very simple mechanical action. Humans can create a CNC machining center to cut a piece of iron ingot into a bright metal crown, but how can they not solve these simple mechanical actions?

But in fact, it just can’t be solved.

One of the biggest difficulties is accuracy. Humans can guarantee that the five-axis machining center will produce parts with such small errors that they cannot be distinguished by the naked eye. But there is no guarantee that a piece of equipment will be moved around, to clamp various electronic components of different specifications, and then to align and install.

This is not a contradiction. Humans can design mechanical parts to complete these processes, but they cannot be reused thousands of times. After tens of thousands of times, electronic components can still be accurately installed in place.

If it is not correct, defective products will appear, and technicians will be required to disassemble the equipment for maintenance.

A piece of equipment worth tens of millions of dollars may need to be frequently inspected and repaired in less than half a month. And a device can only correspond to one mobile phone model, and every time the model is changed, a large number of mechanical parts need to be replaced.

So for now, intensive production lines are still the only way to produce mobile phones.

Humans can’t do it, monsters can. The full-motion assembly platform can not only assemble mobile phones, but also assemble any electronic technology products that fit the size.

But the four hundred full-motion assembly platforms in front of Ye Qing’s eyes are different from those used outside to assemble mobile phones.

If it is said that the full-motion platform for assembling mobile phones is equal to the processing center, these four hundred units are equal to the lithography machine.

The assembly accuracy of mobile phones only needs to be controlled at the micron level, and those used to produce compound-eye cameras must be controlled at the nanometer level.

The more complex the process, the more difficult it is to ensure accuracy. Therefore, the full-motion platform in the No. 17 plant has been specially modified. They have been cancelled the complex three-dimensional processing capabilities. They only have one-dimensional processing capabilities. The mechanical processing parts can only move up and down, not even left and right.

It can only produce compound-eye cameras, using densely packed needle tip-sized workpieces to click on these electronic components that are indistinguishable by the naked eye.

And one hundred delicate masters are responsible for the most important process.

–aim.

Put five hundred compound eye cameras as a template component on the processing platform. Make the template and the workpiece to be perfectly overlapped, and the straightness error between the two is less than one nanometer.

Ye Qing encountered the same problem as humans producing mobile phones. The monsters have no way to solve it. When the mechanical structure clamps the template and moves to the working platform, the error accuracy is less than one nanometer.

In other words, monsters cannot solve the demanding precision requirements in mass production. Regarding the manual production of a two-piece, the master craftsman can stand his temper and process things with a precision of less than one nanometer little by little.

It is like the iron ruler that was given to Nikkei University and the top that was given to Mr. President.

Now it is only possible to rely on sophisticated masters to correct errors through auxiliary electron microscopes, laser sighting methods, and specially designed manual lead screw guides.

This is the same as the lithography machine needs to use a special set of complex alignment system to correct the error of the mask and the sample.

The difference is that those technicians, no matter how careful and dexterous, will cause lithography failure due to some negligence.

This failure is called the yield rate. The more complex the chip, the lower the yield rate.

Master Qiao is responsible for the aiming of the four devices alone, and the yield rate is 100%.

What Ye Qing wants is to replace the exquisite master through mechanical movement, and then achieve a 100% yield rate. One hundred exquisite masters now take up the quota of monsters too much.

It’s a pity that even the monsters can’t do this, and Ye Qing also doesn’t have any ideas.

“Hey~ I still don’t know enough. If someone else produces a camera, it may require thousands of people to participate. Now there are a hundred masters, which is actually not too many.”

“This is the output. The supply is a little bit short of demand, and it is impossible to continue to increase the number of exquisite masters.” After feeling, Ye Qing was about to leave here. Anyway, I can’t look at the output anyway.

Ye Qing was going to look at the sealed slipway again.

Before Ye Qing went to Europe, the Humpback Whale was modifying the reactor cooling system in the slipway. Now that the transformation work is over, the two wild giants are loading industrial equipment into the cargo hold, preparing for the next trip to Niagaya.

Since destroying an American patrol ship two months ago, Ye Qing has not sent any cargo ships to Nicaya.

Because Ye Qing understood that if an ordinary cargo ship was sent there, he would encounter the same seizure experience as the level ship. The U.S. only needs to hint at the countries that the freighter passes through. Those countries will have to sell their face and make things difficult for the giant beast industry’s freighters for various reasons.

In the eyes of ordinary people who don’t know the truth, this is just a personal behavior in that country along the way.

Because of this, the Suotu Rainforest Plant has been unable to obtain equipment supplements, and the processed ore concentrates can only be transported back to China by plane, causing the production capacity of plasma batteries to be unable to increase.

Now that the humpback whale has finally come out, when there is no way to solve the production capacity of compound eye cameras at the moment, Ye Qing naturally has to work hard to expand the production capacity of plasma batteries first.

“Wait~”

Ye Qing had just stepped out of the factory when a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.

I seem to have forgotten a very important thing.

It seems to be related to the level number…

With this reminder, Ye Qing quickly remembered what he had forgotten.

Lord battleship.

The last time Xiezhi was seized, the lord battleship rushed to help and killed the patrol ship.

The monster factory has been upgraded, and the lord battleship has also been upgraded by one level!
