Chapter 212 Shipyard
July 28, 21 years.
After a light rain, the humidity in the air rises noticeably.
The New Luzon Shipbuilding Cluster factory located in the Visayas Islands of Luzon is still manufacturing various ships in an orderly manner.
Currently, the New Luzon Shipyard has a total of eight shipyards in the Visayas region, six of which are civilian shipyards and the remaining two are military shipyards.
Huang Weida, who was poached from Guangzhou Shipyard last year, worked hard for more than a year and was recruited as a new person through special recommendation in April this year.
His position was also transferred from the previous Mindoro Shipyard No. 5 to the Panay Shipyard No. 3 in the Visayas Islands.
This is also the layout of the New Luzon Shipyard.
There are four shipyards in Mindoro Island, all of which are civilian shipyards with relatively low confidentiality levels. They are the Fifth Shipyard, the Sixth Shipyard, the Seventh Shipyard, and the Eighth Shipyard.
The shipyards with higher confidentiality requirements are all concentrated on Panay Island, including the two military shipyards .
The Third Shipyard where Huang Weida was working at this time was a large shipyard with a relatively high level of confidentiality, second only to the military shipyard.
He was still very confused a few months ago, especially when the head of the psychological counseling team of the Ship Design Center came to him, Huang Weida was a little at a loss.
When he was working at the Fifth Shipyard, he was actually very curious about the position of psychological counselor.
It was not until more than half a month of secret contact that he understood why the position of psychological counselor was set up within the company.
Especially after agreeing to join the new human race, Huang Weida learned the true face of the Homo Sapiens Company through the biochip database.
Although he felt like he was on a pirate ship, he had no way to get out of it now. There was no way to get rid of his identity as a new human being unless he chose to commit suicide.
But with such a bright future ahead of him, why did he choose to commit suicide?
As he got to know the internal system of Sapiens more deeply, Huang Weida became more and more eager to integrate into this system. After all, human beings desire perfection and like to stick together for warmth.
As for his transfer to the Third Shipyard, his colleagues who were unaware of the truth secretly thought that he had used a backdoor. After all, Huang Weida's ability in the Ship Design Center was indeed average, and there were many people who were better than him.
Huang Weida did not comment on this, or rather, he simply acquiesced.
In a way, he did take the back door.
If you want to enter the core departments and middle and senior management of the Homo Sapiens Company, the identity of a new human being is a basic prerequisite. If you are not a new human being, there is basically no need to think about it.
Huang Weida talked to his previous psychological counselor about why he was chosen to be a designer with average skills instead of those colleagues with very strong technical capabilities.
The counselor replied: "Talent does not mean loyalty. They don't even want their families to immigrate to Luzon. Such people are not suitable for absorption."
Although it is possible to force these employees to submit to the company by forcibly injecting biochips, the problem is that doing so will waste some time.
For some people with extremely strong resistance, it is not easy to complete the transformation of their personality even if a biochip is implanted and induced by hormones and pheromones. It is also easy to cause mental problems such as split personality, mania, suicidal psychology, and depression.
As for Wu Xinlan's condition, in fact, her body is controlled by the artificial intelligence of the biochip, and her personality and psychology are completely distorted through the long-term training of Sangjibada Layal.
This kind of transformation is very time-consuming and requires specialized training personnel to conduct one-on-one adjustments, which takes about half a year.
If it is a trained agent, it may not be possible to completely transform his psychology and personality even in a year.
For difficult targets such as agents, the Sapiens company often adopts the simple and crude soldier solution rather than the time-consuming and labor-intensive new human solution.
Now that Zhiren Company is no longer in its early stages of establishment, it does not have a serious problem of staff shortage and does not need to rush into things.
The usual practice is to first select a group of employees with clean backgrounds and awareness for examination, and then contact and absorb them when the opportunity arises. The remaining natural person employees are placed in unimportant subsidiaries or industries.
People like Huang Weida were screened out in this way.
…
In the No. 12 fully enclosed dock of the Third Shipyard.
Huang Weida and several engineers discussed the design issue.
This dock is different from an ordinary dry dock. It is a large pool that is 50 meters deep, 500 meters long and 100 meters wide.
Currently, there are a large number of technicians wearing work exoskeletons and special protective equipment, working intensively in the pool.
A large number of removable steel structure supports are installed on the bottom and side walls of the pool, especially the steel structure pillars at the bottom, which are enough to support tens of thousands of tons of weight.
In the middle area surrounded by the support, many technicians used cranes, gantry cranes, and temporary suspended steel frame bridges to piece together the customized steel structure modules layer by layer.
From the appearance, it can be seen that this is a model of a ship.
A group of people walked on the suspended steel frame bridge.
The technicians passing by simply nodded slightly and went about their business.
"When I was working at the shipyard of Guangzhou Shipyard, the conditions were not so good." Huang Weida smiled and shook his head.
Several other engineers or designers who have worked in Chinese shipyards share the same feeling.
Especially front-line welders and general workers, who work for long periods of time in noise, strong light radiation, and metal dust, are often prone to occupational diseases.
For example, lumbar disc herniation, physical strain, vision loss, pneumoconiosis, respiratory diseases, etc.
And now in this dock, these problems have been solved.
All front-line employees are equipped with work exoskeletons, which can not only easily carry hundreds of kilograms of heavy objects, but also have their own air purification system, radiation and light protection system, sound insulation system, internal constant temperature system and communication system, as well as relatively strong protective capabilities.
With this kind of exoskeleton, it is difficult for employees to get occupational diseases.
Anyway, many technicians will probably find it difficult to adapt to the working environment of their previous shipyards after working at the New Luzon Shipyard.
In such a stark contrast, even if the salary doubles, it is estimated that most technicians will not leave.
Once you have experienced the safety and comfort of full protection, who would be willing to go back and endure that harsh working environment?
Of course, if you are willing to pay more than three times the salary, some people may be tempted.
The question is, which of the major shipyards in East Asia has the confidence to offer frontline welders and general workers three times the salary of the New Luzon Shipyard?
As a labor-intensive industry, it is difficult for a shipyard to pay twice as much, let alone triple the salary.
Huang Weida, who has been working in the shipbuilding industry for more than seven years, knows the details of major shipbuilding companies in East Asia very well. Even the shipbuilding companies in South Korea and Japan are actually at the same level as Chinese shipbuilding companies in terms of salary and benefits.
We walked all the way down from the upper level and wandered around for more than half an hour before reaching the working area at the bottom.
Looking at the heavy steel structure module in front of him, Huang Weida patted the heavy shell at the bottom: "The preliminary design has completed the module decomposition. I thickened the plate of the bottom module by 2.3 factors. It should not be crushed."
“2.3 coefficient? That’s a bit conservative. I actually think 1.8 coefficient is enough.” Another designer said with some hesitation.
But Huang Weida was very cautious: "It's better to be cautious. After all, this is the first time we design such a large integrated ship."
