Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 33 Industry 4.0 in Science Magazine

Science Magazine was founded in 1880 by Edison with an investment of US$10,000. In 1894, it became the official publication of the American Association for Science and Technology, the largest scientific group in the United States. It is one of the most authoritative academic journals in the world. There are a total of 51 issues throughout the year, with a global circulation of more than 1 million copies.

Bao Zixuan’s Industry 4.0 paper was handed over to Professor Kevin Bowman the next day. As one of the judges and special editors of the science magazine, Professor Bowman had a direct recommendation quota, so it was sent directly to the editor-in-chief of the magazine without going through preliminary review. On Brenda Jones's desk.

This 43-year-old career woman who graduated from the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University has been trying to promote the number of papers published by young scholars in scientific magazines since she became the editor-in-chief of science magazines five years ago. His last job was as CFO of the famous fashion and luxury brand Tiffany. Her working experience at Tiffany made her demand perfection in many things.

One is a 60-year-old man and the other is a 20-year-old young handsome guy with the same scientific research results. This will not only attract the recognition of ordinary scholars to scientific magazines; it can also attract young women to yearn for scientific magazines.

He wanted to build Science Magazine into a magazine that combines scientific rigor with fashionable elements. This leaves the competitor Nature Magazine far behind.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is skinny. After all, science is not a fashion. Many research results require a certain number of years to be realized. Most of the authors of heavyweight papers and opinions are over 50 years old, and many are 80 years old. Young people are very disadvantaged in this regard. Even if there are occasionally one or two talented students who submit articles, they are all on niche topics, or many of them are completed under the guidance of teachers.

Today, Brenda Jones finally waited for this opportunity. This opportunity was recommended by her friend Kevin Bowman, a talented student from MIT who is not yet 20 years old. And Professor Bowman was so excited on the phone that you could feel his madness even through the phone.

As a friend for many years, she was very clear about Professor Bauman’s character. This German immigrant, who had strict academic requirements, upheld the rigorous style of the Germans. There is no mercy in front of him. The fact that it can praise one of its students so highly proves that this student must be exceptional, and his thesis must have been internally recognized by MIT. Otherwise, Professor Bowman would not have put the paper directly on his desk. This is using his own reputation to endorse a student, unless that student is his illegitimate son, but fortunately, Bao Zixuan is an authentic Xiangjiang native.

Looking at the ideas and suggestions made in the paper, Brenda Jones graduated from the Department of Mathematics. However, some academic terminology and advanced cognition prevented me from understanding it. He immediately called all the science and engineering scholars on duty, as well as the jury members he could contact; many of them were professors at well-known universities or heads of important laboratories.

Everyone in the conference room was stunned by the author's ideas and data when they saw this paper, which was at least 20 years ahead of this era. Everyone agreed that this was the direction of future development, and many of the arguments had practical basis. It was unanimously approved that the concept of Industry 4.0 can be elaborated on the cover article of the latest issue, which will serve as a guide for the next stage of physical and mechanical ethics research. And many scholars should think carefully about the connotation of Industry 4.0 and its scientific value. Your own schools and laboratories should start projects early and start research.

Bao Zixuan didn't know that his article would cause such a sensation within the science magazine. He is currently writing his own office software in his dormitory. It wasn't until his roommates showed him the latest issue of a science magazine that he reacted.

Hearing a knock on the door, Bao Zixuan opened his door after storing the code.

After seeing that the person coming was Joseph Kane, Bao Zixuan said hello to him, because there is little communication between these men of science and technology at MIT, and everyone may be more interested in scientific exploration. It was just a simple hello when we usually met. This was the first time someone knocked on the door to look for him.

Bao Zixuan: "What's wrong, Joseph?"

Joseph Kane: "Boy, you are really not interesting. If Romansky hadn't told me that we were still in the dark! Come on! Everyone is waiting for you in the living room!"

When Bao Zixuan followed Joseph Kane to the living room, he saw everyone looking at him like a monster, and said, "What's wrong, everyone, what is going on."

Martin Grieve, who was born with a black hip-hop vibe, said: "Bao, you are now a big celebrity in the scientific community! Since we moved together, we have never had a dinner or celebration. Look at you. It’s not like you are short of money, so we must give you a good beating. This time it’s not an AA system, how about you take the responsibility!”

In the United States, everyone basically eats in AA style, and these men in science and engineering rarely go out to parties. But after what Martin Grieve said today, everyone thought it made sense. After all, they have been living together for more than half a month. We can take this opportunity to get to know and communicate better. And it’s right to go out and relax occasionally. After all, people are not machines.

Bao Zixuan: "These are all fine, but you have to tell me what happened!"

Thomas Marr: "You don't know yet! Michael, show him, you have the Science Magazine in your hands!"

After speaking, Michael Mellon handed the latest issue of the science magazine to Bao Zixuan. "Take a good look! You are now a famous scholar of industrial theoretical physics." Michael Mellon said to Bao Zixuan.

In fact, Michael Mellon was filled with emotions. He did not expect that the youngest roommate among them would actually be recognized by a scientific magazine. It seemed that he would have a good relationship with him.

After Bao Zixuan took over the science magazine, he saw the future development direction of industry - Industry 4.0 written on the cover. Below it was a line of small words written by a 20-year-old MIT boy named Bao Zixuan, who will give you a new understanding of industrial development.

Seeing this, Bao Zixuan didn't expect that Professor Bowman could actually recommend his paper as a cover article. It seems that this professor has great energy! In fact, Professor Bowman did not have such great energy. This was a decision unanimously approved by all scholars, but Bao Zixuan did not know it.

At the same time, subscribing units and individuals of the latest issue of the scientific magazine have seen the thoughts of Industry 4.0. Since it was a paper, Bao Zixuan was much more detailed than what he expressed in class. He not only briefly introduced the concept of Industry 4.0, but also elaborated on the characteristics of Industry 4.0.

When everyone sees the basic characteristics of Industry 4.0, one is people-centered. Industry 4.0 is a strategy centered on people (customers, producers, managers, employees), and the entire manufacturing life cycle (design-manufacturing-logistics-sales) -Maintenance) to interact with customers, drive production, sales and logistics by customers, and pursue the best consumer experience.

The second is digital links. The basis of Industry 4.0 is communication, which means that equipment, technology, production lines, industries, factories, products, workers, managers, suppliers, customers and services are closely digitally linked in one device. In fact, this paragraph of Bao Zixuan has been adjusted according to the terminology of this era, making it look less unreasonable.

The third is new elements. Data has become an important factor of production. Sensors are everywhere, smart devices are everywhere, smart terminals are helpless and connected devices are everywhere.

The fourth is collaboration and integration. Industry 4.0 is not a specific technology, it is the collaboration and integration of a series of specific technologies that already exist or are developing.

The fifth is automation. The manufacturing industry will transform from isolated automation units to integrated automation equipment that can communicate with each other, thereby improving the flexibility, speed, productivity and quality of the manufacturing system.

Sixth is intelligence. Industry 4.0 is committed to producing intelligent products, creating intelligent programs and processes, building intelligent factories, developing intelligent services, and ultimately realizing an intelligent industrial system.

Seventh, everything is service. Industry 4.0 changes products from focusing on production to services, from selling products to selling services, or from selling products and selling services equally.

The eighth is: big ecology. Industry 4.0 will use new industrial platforms to build a broader and more ambitious ecosystem than before, and achieve a wider range of resource and factor allocation.

This sentiment, which is very common in the 21st century, caused a great sensation in universities, laboratories, and enterprises of this era, making Baozi Xuanzai suddenly famous in the technology circle. MIT is a celebrity where many geniuses gather. Men in science and engineering are very simple. Whoever has good research results will get everyone's respect and recognition. To this end, I have also received job offers from many schools and companies.
