Chapter 411: Dream City
As a well-built base of Ye Quan, Oriental New Town not only gives people a sense of novelty in architecture and environment.
The base area is large, and the transportation system is indispensable, except for more than a dozen bus routes, other means of transportation are indispensable.
In order to protect the environment, Oriental New Town prohibits employees from driving polluting fuel vehicles, and if necessary, they can purchase new energy vehicles and enjoy group subsidies.
The group has specially manufactured a batch of intelligent electric vehicles that can be driven by automatic navigation for employees to buy or rent, and these electric vehicles are available in high, medium and low grades, as well as single-seater, two-seater and four-seater.
An intelligent transportation system is being piloted in the interior area, where employees can locate and call a vehicle from anywhere via their mobile phone, and the nearest empty vehicle will automatically come in.
As long as you insert your employee card, activate it in words, and get to your destination without having to drive, the taxi will automatically deduct the corresponding fare from the employee card.
If you are not an employee of the group, you can also use these driverless vehicles, but you need to apply for a temporary card with the management department first and enter your own voice characteristics.
This kind of intelligent vehicle, or "machine and person car", is equipped with a lidar ranging system, an omnidirectional high-definition camera system, a global positioning system, an automatic intelligent driving system, and a reliable and sensitive collision avoidance device.
It automatically selects the nearest or smoothest road to automatically navigate, and rides smoothly according to the sensors on the road, intelligently analyzing the position and movement of objects in front of it to avoid hitting pedestrians, animals or objects.
Once the power of the unmanned vehicle is low, it will automatically enter the nearest charging station to enter the charging; After a certain number of uses, it will also enter the automatic car wash for cleaning; If there is a breakdown in the middle of the road, it breaks down. Rescue will arrive soon.
Traffic lights are installed at intersections in the inner area. But this type of traffic light is rarely used. Almost exclusively for pedestrians, because all smart vehicles are networked and automatically adjust their distance and speed to each other, so there will be no collisions and road jams.
This is the world's first driverless vehicle put into practical use, and the Oriental New City is also the first area in the world to adopt an intelligent transportation system, creating a precedent in human history.
With a simple modification, this driverless car can also be used in other places, not only to comply with various traffic rules. It can also avoid pedestrians and vehicles to minimize the occurrence of car accidents.
Nowadays, the more developed the transportation, while bringing convenience, it also brings bad consequences, the world will have 50 million car traffic accidents every year, causing more than 1.2 million deaths, but also causing a lot of waste of time and huge loss of money.
Driverless cars that can intelligently avoid and automatically brake will undoubtedly save many lives, and its market is predictable.
Mai Yunfeng was excited after experiencing the process of riding for the first time. Irrepressibly, he witnessed the beginning of a completely new mode of transportation.
On garbage, sewage treatment. Oriental New City is also at the forefront of the world.
Accompanied by Director Wen, Mai Yunfeng saw that there were no sanitation workers on the road, but people were cleaning with a kind of machine.
This kind of machine is a bit like a moving green trash can, with a round belly, flexible rotation, and the eyes on it are laser scanning devices, with two retractable manipulators and vacuum devices, and the appearance is very cute.
Each person is responsible for the cleanliness and sanitation of an area, and will move back and forth from time to time, and once they find that there is garbage on the ground, they will come forward to clean it, put the garbage inside the body, and then sort and compress it.
When the garbage truck comes, it will automatically come forward and dump the garbage.
If pedestrians have garbage in their hands, they can also come up to them and give them a simple voice communication.
This scene made the three Mai Yunfeng in the interview almost suspect that they were still in a dream. In the past 100 years, countless novelists, scientists, etc. have put forward the idea of the era of machine people, and novels with machine people have emerged in an endless stream, but when they really appear in front of everyone, it still makes people feel a little unprepared.
Who would have expected that in this Oriental New Town, a bunch of machines and people would come out without a sound, and they would really be used in practice.
Director Wen had a proud look on his face and introduced: "Reporter Mai, this is the latest product developed by Galaxy Intelligent Technology, the HW22 machine, which is solar powered, and can ensure the cleanliness of the street without human intervention. ”
Mai Yunfeng asked, "Can I buy it outside?" How much does it cost? ”
"Because the products of smart phones are quite sensitive, we do not plan to manufacture them on a large scale for the time being, and we will first conduct experiments and observations here in the new city for a period of time, and then consider the promotion of them. However, there is a kind of family nanny type machine that will soon be launched on the market, which can not only clean the room, but also open the door for guests, fold clothes, peel fruit, carry things and take care of children. ”
In fact, there are more than two kinds of machines being developed by Galaxy Intelligent Technology Company, which are very mature in technology, and the reason why they have not been promoted to the market is due to many reasons, one of which is the fear of causing a large number of unemployment.
For example, most of the sanitation workers are middle-aged people with no skills, and it is difficult to find a suitable job once they lose their jobs.
On the contrary, developed countries and militarily have huge markets.
Subsequently, Mak Yunfeng also visited the microbial waste treatment station and sewage treatment plant.
It can be said that in terms of environmental protection, Oriental New Town has achieved effective reuse of garbage and 100% recycled water, and does not flow out of any garbage and sewage to the outside world, which is so perfect that it is almost impossible to find fault with it.
In addition to these, there are many subtle differences in Oriental New Town, such as the fact that even the street lights on the road are connected to the Internet, which only turn on when pedestrians pass by, while autonomous vehicles do not need to be guided by lights at all.
Many walls, guardrails, street signs and signs are painted with a layer of special materials that can emit light, almost turning the Oriental New Town into a city that never sleeps.
These are the characteristics of the obvious place, and there are many that cannot be seen with the eyes, such as the entire Oriental New City has the most complete security monitoring system, on the surface you can't see much security force, but the surveillance is everywhere, if someone wants to do damage, it will soon be found that this is a stupid behavior.
In September alone, seven commercial espionage cases were cracked, one of which occurred almost every few days.
The whole new city is a network, and employees can easily eat, travel, shop, sports or entertainment and leisure, etc., and enjoy the most convenient and thoughtful services.
Most of the employees in shopping malls, restaurants, barber shops and other service places are family members of the group's employees.
The more he learned, the more he was surprised by Oriental New Town, and many sci-fi scenes that were still in people's imagination appeared in reality, and it is not an exaggeration to call this place a "city of dreams" and "a city of science and technology".
Mai Yunfeng can imagine that when the Oriental New City is lifted, many people will regard it as the most desirable tourist attraction, or even a holy place for the birth of high-tech, and hope to come in and experience it in person.
Unfortunately, the interior of the Oriental New City is not open to outside tourists, and only those who have business dealings, or those who have official backgrounds from schools, units, and other organizations come to visit and inspect, will have the opportunity to enter. (To be continued......)
