Chapter 524: Big Rush!
"I'll write a snap-up software, and then use my father's company's server resources to try to get a spot on a robot employer." The youngest son stood in the center of the living room and said to Musk seriously: "The biggest difficulty in terms of technology is network latency, from China to the west coast of North America, there is an average network delay rate of 267 milliseconds, assuming that if you rent a submarine direct fiber optic cable, the delay should be compressed to less than 100 milliseconds, but the cost of doing so is too expensive." β
Raising his head, his eyes were full of pleading and expectation, Musk's youngest son begged: "Father, can you open the permission of the Starlink system to me, establish a direct connection with Huaxia from the air, is the lowest-cost solution, with the technical level of Starlink, I am sure to compress the delay to fifty milliseconds, so that the probability of becoming the first batch of robot employers will be greatly increased!" β
With Starlink?
Smart enough to be my son.
Musk muttered in his heart, his youngest son inherited his talent, and when he was still in elementary school, he seemed to be already a computer master, and over time, his achievements may not be lost to Luo Jia's son.
Then Musk shook his head again, and suddenly remembered that Luo Jia didn't even have a son, he didn't even have a girlfriend, and he was the richest diamond single dog on the planet...
"The first batch of robots in the world is limited to 100,000 robots, 70,000 in China, and only 30,000 in other regions, and the competition must be extremely fierce!" The youngest son deliberately muttered in front of his father, saying that it actually meant the same thing, he wanted a Star Wing.
Musk nodded slightly, "It's difficult to snap up, but it's not that Luo Jia deliberately makes it difficult, but the precision and integration of the robot are too high, Xingchen Technology has the world's largest, but also the most sophisticated and efficient industrial production system, but it still can't escape the objective law of industrial production, the production line still needs to be run-in, and the output also needs time to climb." β
"As for seventy percent of domestic sales, the takeaway part is only thirty percent, also because the production capacity is not up to standard, if I were Luo Jia, I would hope that more and more Western companies will hire robots, because a robot is equivalent to the work efficiency of at least five adults, once there are more robots, the West will encounter a large number of laid-off troubles."
"From the current point of view, the lack of production capacity of Xingchen Technology has saved our lives, and the West still has about a year to adjust, if we can't make changes, Luo Jia will lead an army of robots to change us."
patted his son's head with his hand, and Musk said in a kind voice: "Leave it to me to apply for a robot, although it is a product of a rival, but an opponent like Xingchen Technology is really hateful, what they are doing is what I have always dreamed of." β
"It's a pity, it would be nice if they were a North American company, then I would not hesitate to join them, even if it is an ordinary researcher in Xingchen Technology, it is also a great thing."
The father agreed to help build a robot, and the son was naturally overjoyed, but while he was happy, he was also full of confusion.
"Father, I have a question."
"Well, I'm listening."
"Since what Xingchen Technology is doing is your dream all along, why are you so resistant to Xingchen Technology?" Musk's youngest son tilted his head and asked: "Although it is separated by the Pacific Ocean, I watch Luo Jia's weekly column live broadcast, and he has talked more than once about his appreciation for his father, and his father is the same, appreciating and Xingchen Technology's uprightness and toughness." β
"If you appreciate each other, why can't you join forces?"
Is this a problem?
Musk shook his head and sighed, smashing his mouth a few times, "Pasteur once said that although science has no borders, scientists have their own homeland. β
"Did you know that on November 19, 2019, the North American Senate passed the bill opposite Shenzhen with 100% of the votes."
"Can you imagine that a bill that would obviously lead to confrontation between China and North America, leading to a trade war on a larger scale than the current one, actually passed unanimously in the Senate, with a total of 100 seats, all voted in favor, do you know what it means?"
Musk's son is only in elementary school, although he is talented, but it is too difficult for a primary school student to interpret dark and dirty politics, but it should be very unusual for the Senate to pass this matter unanimously, after all, those people in the Senate seem to be very shrewd.
Musk continued: "I think that back then, when the Neon bombed Pearl Harbor and the Senate voted on whether to declare war on the Neon, there was still one vote against it, but today, the Senate actually unanimously passed the China bill, which undoubtedly means that the contradiction between the two major powers of the East and the West has been unprecedented, to an unprecedented extent, not only is it absolutely impossible to reconcile, but also faces huge risks in the future." β
"On November 20, following in the footsteps of the Senate, the House of Representatives also began to vote, and in the end there was only one vote against, you know, the House of Representatives has more people than the Senate, with 435 seats, but there is only one vote against, which can also show how bad the relationship between the East and the West has been at this moment, if it were not for the current era, the war is restrained, and the blood would have been shed at this moment."
"Back then, during World War II, the two houses voted on whether to declare war on Germany, and the result was six votes against the Senate and fifty votes against the House of Representatives, which is much more than the number of votes received by China today."
Musk's son seemed to be frightened, opened his mouth wide, and did not make a sound for a long time, this smart child, from the voting results, has associated some serious problems.
Musk stretched out his arms helplessly, "In this world, no one can turn their backs on their country and nation and exist alone, and feel that national affairs have nothing to do with them, this idea is undoubtedly naΓ―ve." β
"Suppose I am a Chinese living in North America, as the situation becomes more and more severe, I will inevitably be under great pressure, even if I can become a naturalized North American citizen, but I can't wash off my black hair and eyes, no matter how fluent my English is, in the eyes of others, I will always be a Chinese."
The wise son finally understood his innocence, people have camps in this world, sometimes, the camp comes from the choices you make, and sometimes, the camp comes from the blood of your ancestors flowing in you.
You can choose your own position, but you can't choose your ancestors, you can cut off the connection with your hometown, but you can't cut off the blood in your body, since you were born in this land, then you will always be a descendant of Yan and Huang, no matter where you bury your bones after death, the tombstone will leave the surname given to you by your parents.
"Hey, why is that..."
Musk's youngest son felt sorry and asked curiously: "Since there is no way to reconcile the contradictions, what will happen next?" β
Next?
Musk didn't expect his son to ask such a question, he was slightly stunned and turned his eyes out the window.
"Next, we will unite all the forces that can be combined to fight Huaxia to the end, energy, biology, finance, chemistry, aviation, aerospace, communications, transportation, this will be an unprecedented all-out confrontation between the East and the West!"
"No matter how strong Xingchen Technology is, it is impossible to control all fields, although the semiconductor department of Xingchen Technology is strong, but we also have ASML and Intel, TSMC, even if the process is backward, it can still be used, our supercomputer is not as good as Xingchen Technology's supercomputer, then expand the scale and install more processing units."
"Back then, we used the Wassenaar Agreement to blockade Huaxia for decades, and we didn't kill Huaxia, because Huaxia's science and technology are just backward, and the scientific research system is still comprehensive."
"Nowadays, our situation is much stronger than that of Huaxia, which has been sanctioned, and our fuel vehicles can still send passengers to their destinations even if they are not as fast as Xingchen Technology's electric vehicles, so it is almost an impossible task for Xingchen Technology to fundamentally overturn us."
"If my guess is correct, such a fierce confrontation will continue for many years until one side is completely dragged down and admits defeat."
"We have experience in dealing with this long battle for global hegemony, after all, it took us almost two hundred years to take over the baton of global hegemony from the British."
"In short, we must, certainly, and definitely, fight with Xingchen Technology to the last drop of blood."
β¦β¦
People like Musk, who can teach his son by word and deed, are only a minority in the world after all, and the vast majority of people rely on the news obtained from the media.
The day after the robot press conference, the global media was boiling, and even CNN North America, which has always been against China, admitted for the first time that a new era is coming.
CNN said that it is fortunate that Xingchen Technology's robots only have primary artificial intelligence and can only engage in some relatively simple work, and the price is very expensive, otherwise the impact on the world will definitely be much greater than now.
In the midst of boiling and discussion, the time came to April 18, Huaxia time, that is, the third day after the press conference.
According to the plan, today is the application day, whether enterprises or individuals, if they want to hire robots, they can send an application to Xingchen Technology after 0:00 today.
The number of the first batch of robots is 100,000 units, according to 37 points, of which 30,000 units are supplied to overseas markets and 70,000 units are supplied to domestic markets.
To be honest, the number is not much, but considering the complex structure of the robot, and tens of thousands of precision parts, the speed of production capacity ramp-up is slow, which is also quite normal, it is no exaggeration to say that the production difficulty of the robot is by no means lower than that of a jet, which is a high-tech product at the top of the real pyramid.
Although the supply is 100,000 units, the number cannot be only 100,000 units, because Xingchen Technology also has to review the employer, but if your review is not passed, the employment right will be automatically extended to the next applicant, and so on.
In line with the spirit of uprightness, or the spirit of saving trouble, Xingchen Technology has released one million numbers, 700,000 numbers in China, and 300,000 numbers overseas.
In the past three days, tens of millions of people have logged on to the website every day to register, and when it was four hours before the countdown to the number grabbing activity, Musk's youngest son logged on to the website and found that the number of registrations had reached an incredible 50 million, and it was still increasing at a crazy speed.
Everyone rushed to register, and when there were still two hours left, the counter hanging on the web page actually saw that the number of real-time registrations exceeded 70 million, and in the last two hours, an average of 10 million people registered every hour.
"Please, come on, father!"
Musk's youngest son nervously clenched his fists at the screen, his father did not tell him what strategy he would use to snap up the purchase, looking at the rapidly rising number of people on the counter, Musk's youngest son felt great pressure, when there were still three minutes left in the number grabbing activity, the number on the counter finally broke through the 100 million mark!
This means that one in every 70 people in the world stays up all night at a computer, and there has never been a panic buying event in the long history of mankind that has reached such a sensational level.
