Chapter 200: The Age of Intelligence
Zhou Ming has learned many times about the pitfalls of the system, but no matter how pitted it is, he still has to jump down.
I had to sigh and be helpless.
After all, this system is not one of those scattered wealth systems, which give you tens of billions out of thin air, used to smash people in the face, and then give you more money and slap more face, even if the protagonist spends hundreds of trillions, he can't see the slightest trace of inflation.
The system in Zhou Ming's mind strictly implements the rule of "how much to pay = how much to return", Zhou Ming has cleared six copies, the reward system has not collapsed, he has not yet become Long Aotian, and the later copies are still very attractive.
It can be seen that the system is really a genius!
Attention returns to reality.
Since more than two years ago, Zhou Ming asked artificial intelligence to integrate a large number of advanced science and technology from the copy of "Money Empire" into a technology bomb, and through the "science and technology tree network", it exploded within the scope of country Z, but in more than two years, earth-shaking changes have taken place on the land of country Z.
The overall scientific and technological level of the country has leaped forward for ten years!
In July this year, the "robot revolution" that broke out from the eastern coastal cities marked the entry of country Z into the "intelligent era".
As of the end of September, in less than three months, the total shipment of various robots produced by several robot companies along the coast has reached 10 million units.
But by the end of the year, it is expected to exceed 30 million units.
These robots are all "working robots" with an intelligence level of P20 (equivalent to a 20-year-old human), self-learning ability, flexible hands and feet, tireless, and can completely replace human work.
The maintenance cost of a "working robot" is 1/3 to 1/5 of an adult labor force.
And no matter what job position it is put in, the work efficiency of the "working robot" is at least twice that of an adult human.
In some special jobs, such as assembly lines, heavy manual porters, etc., the work efficiency of "working robots" can even reach five or ten times that of humans!
Working robots don't need to drink water and eat, don't need long-term skill training, don't need entertainment and rest, and it's very simple to let the robot work:
1. Import learning materials.
Second, reserve enough electricity.
In terms of electrical energy, these working robots mostly use graphene batteries, which have a high energy density, and can be fully charged in 15 minutes, after which the working robots can work continuously for 24 hours.
As soon as the working robot came out, not to mention the boiling of country Z, the whole world was shocked.
Numerous discussions and arguments have been aroused.
Even against and protest!
Many people also took to the streets, unfurled banners of all kinds, and marched and demonstrated!
"Work robots are out, and we're all going to lose our jobs!"
"The age of robots is coming, and humanity is about to perish!"
"Don't take our jobs!"
"Against robots, we don't want to be unemployed!"
"For every working robot produced, two workers lose their jobs and two families break up. β
"The robots have destroyed us, and we can only declare war on the robots!"
"Destroy the robots!"
Public opinion is also debated, and the robot supporters and the opposition are arguing so much that no one can convince anyone.
However, in the online polls, out of concern for their own interests, the robot opposition has the absolute upper hand.
91% are against work robots that can replace humans, and 82% are strongly opposed.
Even in order to prevent those companies that have the ability to produce working robots from continuing to develop and produce robots, a large number of protesters blocked the doors of these companies every day, and even stormed the production plants of these companies and smashed many machines.
In the face of strong public opposition, the government had to temporarily suspend the production plans of several robot companies and held several high-level meetings to discuss solutions.
As the initiator of all this, of course, Zhou Ming is also very concerned about this matter.
After all, the manufacturing technology and intelligent control programs of these working robots, as well as the supporting battery technology and nanomaterial technology, are all spread out through the "Science and Technology Tree Network", and this website is the root of all evil.
And it is related to the job of more than one billion people in the country, no matter what, Zhou Ming cannot sit idly by.
After all, the development of technology to a certain extent does bring many negative effects.
For example, the problem of working robots stealing people's jobs will make many people worry and oppose it, for fear that they will be eliminated by robots.
This kind of worry is very normal, everyone has to support their family, everyone needs to have a job, but is the problem of "robots taking people's jobs" really a problem?
Zhou Ming shook his head.
It's not a big deal at all!
With his knowledge of multiple high-tech copies, he could come up with at least dozens of solutions!
One of the most common and common methods is to allow citizens to freely buy "working robots", and then let these robots work to make money, and the income obtained goes to individual citizens.
If the price of a working robot is 100,000 yuan, after you buy it, let the robot go to work, if the monthly salary is 5,000 yuan, at most two years, the individual can completely earn back the cost of the robot.
If this working robot can work for more than 20 years, the economic news created for the owner can be said to be very impressive.
If you have 10 or 20 working robots, it is equivalent to the boss of a team of 10 or 20 people, and you can get the salary of 10 or 20 people, not to mention, you don't need to pay wages to these robots, you only need to pay electricity and repair costs.
Don't provide five insurances and one housing fund, and don't worry about disability, you can exploit and squeeze hard!
Such a small boss can be said to be cooler than those big factory owners with thousands of employees!
The profits are even higher!
As soon as the working robot comes out, it can be said that there is no financial product comparable to it, and the investment value of no commodity is comparable to that of the working robot!
So as long as individuals are allowed to buy work robots freely, those citizens who have a little money on hand do not mind shelling out a sum of money to buy one or several work robots to work instead of themselves and support their families.
Even if he ends up unemployed, as long as at least one of the working robots generates income belongs to him, he is not only not unemployed, but on the contrary, he welcomes such unemployment.
Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of "robots stealing people's jobs", the key lies in how to let people who are facing unemployment have their working robots.
However, robots with excellent working ability and equally powerful destructive power can cause many problems if they are in the hands of individuals and are not used for proper purposes.
Especially in the early stage of the launch of work robots, the relevant laws are not perfect, and once something goes wrong, it will cause huge public opinion.
Therefore, in the early days of the "robot revolution", most of the working robots will not enter thousands of households and are not allowed to be used by private individuals, but may enter various factories and assembly lines to replace tens of millions of low-end workers.
Only when the conditions and environment are ripe can working robots be allowed to be purchased by private individuals and enter thousands of households.
But in the early days, there will be a lot of resistance.
However, Zhou Ming also has a solution.
That is the "right to earn" that individuals are allowed to buy working robots!
That is, individuals do not have to buy work robots into their own homes, but directly give a sum of money to factories that use a large number of work robots to buy the "right to benefit" of one or more work robots.
For example, if you give 100,000 yuan to the factory, and the factory adds a working robot, then the income created by the working robot every month will be distributed to your personal account in the form of a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to receiving the "salary" of the robot and guarantees that it can continue to receive it for 20 years.
In this way, for individuals, it saves a lot of trouble, not to mention, and earns a lot of income.
For the factory, 100,000 working robots, no matter how many units are purchased, because others help to invest, the factory also saves a lot of initial capital.
Wouldn't it be beautiful to be mutually beneficial and win-win?
In this way, the investors are profitable, and the factories are profitable, but what about the unemployed workers?
Especially for workers who have no more than 100,000 yuan in savings?
They don't have the money to invest, they can't find a new job, where is their way out?
Country.
You can only rely on the state, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
Zhou Ming's suggestion is: For the unemployed who are unemployed, the state will issue them "unemployment benefits", which will not be less than 2,000 yuan per person per month, regardless of whether they are sound in their hands and feet, whether they have the ability to work or not, and all the unemployed who have no jobs will be paid.
Some people may question that 2,000 yuan per person per month, if this continues, country Z will sooner or later become a lazy society, no one will want to work, and the country will collapse sooner or later.
But the question is, technology has developed to the extent that robots have completely replaced humans, no matter how diligent and desperate the workers are, can they catch up with robots?
Besides, science and technology have been so developed, and industrial productivity is so huge, it is time for country Z to enter a high-welfare society.
And with a purchasing power of 2,000 yuan, it is just to maintain basic food and clothing, and if you want to live a better life, you have to work hard.
In addition, after the advent of the era of robots replacing labor, in order to divide the new cake and avoid polarization, Zhou Ming also believes that for those wealthy people with strong capital, when limiting the number of working robots they can buy, each person shall not exceed 5 or 10...... It must be strictly limited.
If these people buy more and more, they will get richer and richer, and the middle and lower classes will not only find it difficult to catch up with them, but they will not even be able to grab the opportunity to buy!
We must suppress those speculators with abundant capital! We must not allow them to go to heaven!
In the era of working robots, everyone must have a share, and everyone must be able to benefit from it!
When Zhou Ming, as an "alien in the M78 galaxy", sent this solution to the high-level of country Z for reference, the high-level of country Z basically adopted it except for a slight adjustment of some details.
Through authoritative media, after the plan was announced.
In less than three days, the proportion of people who support the promotion of work robots has increased to 88%!
Apart from a few concerns, the opponents offer few strong reasons for their opposition.
Of course, the public Vs still continue to publicize the harm of work robots, but after the opening of the country's "robot investment platform", the first batch of 1 million work robots investment income rights were snapped up by hundreds of millions of people within 0.01 seconds, including many public V.
β¦β¦
9:50 a.m.
In the study.
Su Yuxiang opened the desktop computer on the desk, first entered the "Robot Investment Platform", the mouse arrow was placed on the "Buy" button, and when the time reached 10 o'clock, she immediately clicked the right mouse button.
After five seconds of spinning the loading circle, a pop-up window appeared on the screen:
Congratulations, you have successfully purchased the right to work income of a "worker bee" robot!
Yuanyi's voice sounded in his ears: "Mom, I helped you grab another one, you now have five robots!"
βYesοΌβ
Su Yuxiang waved her Xiu fist, five robots, and her purchase index had been used up.
This cost her a total of 850,000 yuan, but in the next 20 years, these five robots distributed in different factories can bring her at least more than 5 million yuan.
However, after opening another website and seeing the price curve of housing prices in Hangzhou, from yesterday's average price of 17,560 yuan to today's 17,403 yuan, she cried "wow~".
Seeing Zhou Ming walking past the study, she turned around and shouted at him: "Husband, the house price has fallen by more than 150 today, and I have lost millions again!"
Zhou Ming patted his forehead and said helplessly: "I said a long time ago that the house price is like a green onion, tell you not to buy it, you want to buy a lot?"
"Hey~"
He sighed and shook his head.
