The audience ushered in a round of applause, some people were excited about the progress of science and technology, some people were also excited about the birth of this new outlet, and some people felt sad about it.

When I saw the eighteen-minute demonstration, like a sci-fi scene into reality, after marveling at the subversion brought by technology, a large number of melon-eating netizens on the Internet immediately entered a pen war.

One side is the supporter of technological change, the other side is the opponent, and this part of the people to the delivery riders and couriers as the core, after all, this is a major matter related to their professional jobs, once no one delivery becomes the mainstream, the major logistics companies will enter the unprecedented trend of layoffs, for their group, unemployment is inevitable.

At the press conference, Gu Cheng had long expected that this controversy would follow, and after a while, his voice resounded throughout the audience again:

"The intelligent solution launched by Tianqing Technology, I don't want to avoid the impact of practitioners in the takeaway industry and logistics industry, now there are seven or eight million couriers and takeaway riders across the country, and unmanned logistics will not completely replace but basically replace."

"Automation and unmanned is the trend of the times, in the process of industrial transformation and upgrading, for practitioners, it is not a reduction of jobs, but to change positions, smart logistics solutions will also give birth to a new and huge advanced industrial chain from the bottom up, and there are thousands of new jobs here that are in urgent need of manpower."

"Changing jobs means changing the knowledge and skills of learning, this is a huge project, and only our country can do it, in the foreseeable future, the situation of running night schools may appear again, industrial transformation and upgrading, there are pains, but it will be very short-lived. The tide of the times is unstoppable, it will not stop because of a group of vested interests, the key depends on you to take the initiative to adapt to the new environment, and the only way is to change. ”

With the end of the press conference, the first bullet of Tianqing Technology in the new year has become the focus of the moment, and it has triggered a hot topic of national discussion.

Different from the past, the smart logistics solution launched by Tianqing Technology this time has made people living in the present realize that this is not just the express delivery industry and the takeaway industry, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and no one can stay out of it.

This is also the root cause of the hot topic, people are more and more anxious, for fear that the arrival of the next technological inflection point will affect their own industry, and then face the risk of unemployment.

Now couriers and takeaway riders, the rise of this industry has not been many years, and now it has entered the sunset industry, strictly speaking, it is an industrial upgrade, but for most couriers and takeaway riders, it is the sunset industry.

Although it is currently only a pilot in the Changfeng district, millions of couriers and delivery workers are now extremely anxious.

By all indications, the 18-minute demo video is a reflection of the future.

However, Gu Cheng and Tianqing Technology, major corporate partners, including relevant departments, have also prepared a buffer window for the future of these millions of couriers and riders, and millions of people are suddenly unemployed, and the country is unwilling to see this happen.

To solve this problem is nothing more than two points, on the one hand, to guide the transformation of the industry, on the other hand, to give a certain buffer, which is why the last 100 meters of door-to-door delivery has not been launched for the time being.

However, layoffs in major logistics companies are inevitable, and the way to eliminate the last position is adopted, leaving technical talents, for practitioners, if they want not to be eliminated, they must learn new knowledge and skills if they want to be eliminated and successfully transition to the second change of position.

In the area of smart logistics solutions, Gu Cheng did not divide too much energy, in comparison, the "Star Project" is what he is concerned about, and there is nothing more important than the development of the Age of Discovery.

While Gu Cheng was making a bold move to climb technology, other people on the earth were also not idle.

……

March, Göttingen, Lower Saxony, Germany.

Elon Musk suddenly came to Germany, he did not come to play, but for the development of SpaceX's "Leviathan" rocket, Lockheed Martin will provide controlled nuclear fusion for the "Leviathan" rocket, but there is still an urgent shortage of a fusion engine development leader, and I can't find a suitable person who can do it all over the United States.

Eventually, Vera Lopez introduced him to a new generation of German scientists, Arnold Stewart, who was only 26 years old.

If the most dazzling person in Asia is Gu Cheng, and the most dazzling scientist in North America is Vera Lopez, then the most favored person in Europe is Arnold Stewart, a German, who can be regarded as a genius of the new generation in academia.

Elon Musk went straight to the University of Göttingen, where Arnold Stewart is currently a professor of physics.

……

At this moment, in a classroom at the university, there are more than two dozen students scattered around.

The person who was teaching was Arnold Stewart, who was only a few years older than these students.

"We know that there are two things that are needed for a rocket engine to work, one is energy and the other is working fluid." Arnold Stewart, dressed in a suit, looked at the projection screen in the classroom, where he stood on one side with one hand in his trouser pocket and a small remote control in the other.

"General chemical energy rockets not only provide the energy of propulsion, but also act as the working fluid of propulsion. This seems to simplify the structure, but according to the law of conservation of momentum, the specific impulse of the rocket is directly proportional to the velocity of the jet working fluid, and there is an upper limit to the velocity of the chemical energy rocket jet working fluid, and theoretically, the energy and the working fluid can also be separated. ”

At this time, a student wearing glasses spoke: "Professor, is the Chinese Tianjian fighter a fusion engine engine?" ”

Hearing this, Arnold Stewart retracted his gaze, looked at the students, and said: "It is speculated from the published data that there is a probability of more than 90% that the Chinese Tianjian fighter has mastered controllable nuclear fusion, and only the energy of nuclear fusion can support the range covering the Earth-Moon system, and the fusion engine uses the energy generated by fusion and heating the working fluid to generate propulsion, note that the fusion product itself can also be used as working fluid." ”

"In a fusion engine, there are three types of energy that come from fusion reactions: one is plasma thermal, when the fusion fuel is fused, the fuel atoms are ionized into a high-temperature plasma, which contains most of the fusion energy and is also the energy that is easy to use;"

"One is neutron energy, fusion reactions or side reactions produce lethal neutron radiation, which is lethal to humans, which can lead to neutron embrittlement and neutron activation of engine components; Neutron energy is considered to be wasted energy. ”

"The last is bremsstralier energy, where when ions in a high-temperature plasma of a nuclear fusion reaction collide with electrons, the useful plasma heat energy is converted into useless, dangerous X-ray plus cold ions, so this is also considered wasted energy."

"Judging from the physique of the Sky Blade fighter, it is very likely that the pure fusion engine provides the power source."

As soon as it was time for class to end, the students in the classroom were also leaving one after another, and Arnold Stewart was stopped by a man as soon as he left the classroom: "Professor Stewart, Mr. Elon Musk has been waiting for you for a long time, and he hopes to meet you soon." ”

"Elon Musk?" Stewart looked puzzled: "Is that the Silicon Valley madman Elon Musk who tweeted about a nuclear explosion on Mars?" ”

Silicon Valley Iron Man is still very famous, and some non-professionals in the media industry write articles that have no scientific basis, which is funny in the eyes of the academic community, and it is just an after-dinner conversation.

"It's the one."

Although Elon Musk has the title of "Iron Man of Silicon Valley", and many people regard him as a tech tycoon, he is not really a big name in academia. Arnold Stewart wondered why he had come to the door from far and wide, and he had little friendship with him.

Shouldn't you come over and discuss a nuclear explosion of Mars?

Thinking of this, Stewart couldn't help but be amused by the thought that popped up with him, and immediately followed the passerby to meet the people. As the world's super-rich, people take the initiative to ask for it, but what if they come to invest in basic scientific research?
