2023, late April.

Another big thing happened.

That is, the battery factory under the dark energy company, after 18 months of intense construction and construction, with a total investment of more than 38 billion, was successfully completed on April 22, and the internal production equipment was basically installed.

The construction period was shortened by half a year.

The cost of construction was overrun by 52 per cent.

Only then did I have this white factory in front of me, like four giant matchboxes, connected from end to end, to form a "mouth" shaped ring-shaped factory.

Standing at the door of the factory, Lin Guoming, who was in charge of supervising the construction, wore a blue hard hat and introduced to Livi:

"Mr. Li, the completion of the main building, all reached 100%, and now there are only some corner greening, sewers, cables, optical cables, gas pipelines and other supporting projects, and a small part has not been completed, but it does not affect the operation of the battery factory."

Levi nodded.

After changing into a dust-proof suit, I entered the interior of the dust-free workshop, and I could see that there were thousands of engineers in white coats, assembling and debugging equipment, meticulously, attentively, and very neat with hands and feet.

Yin Zhuoyao, who was the former general project leader of the Battery Research Institute and is now in charge of the commissioning of factory equipment and the operation of the factory in the future, a middle-aged man in his forties with a snow-white sideburns and a Chinese character face, explained to Livi next to him:

"Mr. Li, now the engineers at the battery research institute have all stopped the research work at hand, entered the battery factory, participated in and guided the commissioning of production equipment, and worked overtime every day."

"Everyone works about 11 hours a day on average, and when they are tired, they go to the warehouse to make a floor, and they have one day off at most a week...... Everybody's very motivated. ”

And this motivation not only comes from the high wages they receive, but also from the fact that what they are doing now will change the face of all mankind!

Under the double encouragement, they burst out with vigorous combat effectiveness.

"Not bad."

Levi nodded, but then asked, "I want to know, in this state, how long will it take for you to get the factory into production and mass produce the products you need, and it will be about a few months?" ”

"Mr. Li, I can't give an exact guarantee for this."

Yin Zhuoyao shook his head and said: "Some of the production processes of our products are as complex as the manufacture of chips, and the operation accuracy is required to be about 50 nanometers. ”

"As for the specific mass production date, if everything goes well, we can produce the first batch in small batches in about three months; If you want to mass-produce in large quantities without interruption, it will take at least 6 months. ”

"Good!"

Levi nodded with satisfaction: "Don't pursue too fast, pay attention to rest, improve the quality of work, just like you said, seek speed in stability, first stabilize and then fast!" ”

For the entire "trajectory plan", the battery factory is only a part of the supporting link, but now it has reached the stage of mass production, far ahead of other subsystems, Livi is quite satisfied, and now there is no shortage of money, "selling batteries" to make money is not very urgent.

So he doesn't ask for it too fast, as long as he can achieve mass production step by step.

"Yes, Mr. Li!"

Wan Cheuk Yao nodded solemnly.

……

After inspecting the battery factory.

It's May, and it's the early summer season.

It took a few months of busy Rivi to basically straighten everything out and get everything on track.

This is finally some free time.

But there were also constant disturbances, making it difficult for him to calm down.

There are two main things.

One, on May 1st, the core server of the dark technology company pushed the "LV10 Intelligent Update" to the major companies in Xia that purchased 'artificial intelligence' technology.

Huayao, rice, Longteng and other companies hurriedly updated and tested them specifically.

Immediately noticed some surprising changes.

LV10 level artificial intelligence, equivalent to the thinking ability of a ten-year-old child, compared with the previous LV8, has a "generation difference" in many aspects.

For example, the learning ability has been improved several times, and you can learn and master some advanced knowledge systems.

Thinking is more mature, judgment is more rational, and the error rate has dropped by an order of magnitude.

If you make an analogy of the image point, it is: LV8's artificial intelligence, which is equivalent to an eight-year-old girl, can help with a lot of housework; And LV10 level artificial intelligence, in the initial stage of exploitation capitalism, is definitely a qualified "child labor".

If such artificial intelligence "child labor" is put into the factory on a large scale, with 80% of the work efficiency, those ordinary human workers are replaced, and then 24 hours of endless work, the production efficiency will be greatly improved.

More and more simple and repetitive work has the possibility of being completely replaced by intelligent robots.

Even some "technical jobs" exercised in practice makes perfect may be replaced by intelligent robots.

In short, every upgrade and update released by Dark Technology is a great improvement in efficiency and a big increase in the profit cake for companies such as Huayao, Rice, and Longteng.

The whole upgrade process is cool! Make them look forward to it.

In contrast.

Western countries such as the Stars and Stripes, even if they get the LV8-level intelligent technology and fully promote and apply it, it will be cool for a while.

But I suddenly found that on the land of Xia Kingdom, LV10-level intelligent technologies have emerged, and then people made a performance comparison, and found that no matter what the indicators are, it is impossible for an 8-year-old girl to defeat a 10-year-old child laborer.

So they urged the programmers of Guge, Fruit and other companies to hurry up and launch more advanced artificial intelligence technology, and they couldn't lag behind any longer!

However, the engineers of these companies racked their brains and did not even understand the principle of LV8 intelligent technology.

As for upgrading and iterating on this basis, there is no clue.

I saw Xia Guo's side, the dark technology company, which releases an upgrade and update once a year, and looks at the child labor of LV10 this year, and two years later, it is probably the labor of LV12; Six years later, he was a contract worker for LV16.

By analogy, in about eight to ten years, the artificial intelligence technology on Xia Guo's side can develop to a technical worker of about LV18.

On their side, it is possible to get stuck or even make slow progress.

So the smiles on the faces of some smug Western high-level people gradually froze, and they faintly realized that they might have done something stupid......

What to do?

When they were a little at a loss, the allies and younger brothers had already generated some panic and commotion.

On May 10th.

Ouzhou, island countries, and cold countries actually turned their backs to the star country, and sent someone to the dark technology company with a cash check of 100 billion star knives, pleading with a very low profile, hoping to join the 'artificial intelligence' cooperation system led by the dark technology company.
