Chapter 167: The Puppet Master Joins
To rule a country, it is natural to take care of the interests of each stratum.
For the ordinary people, Daming is doing very well now.
But for the aristocracy and gentry class, Wen Jiming believes that the imperial government has not done enough so far.
For the aristocracy, especially those former nobles, the Ming Empire can be said to have reduced their income a lot, although they do not need to support a huge military force now to ensure that their interests will not be harmed.
But now that the Ming Empire has nationalized all the territories owned by the princes, the income of these nobles now can be said to be much less than before.
And those squires in various places are families distributed in various parts of the Ming Empire, with a lot of assets, and they have some considerable influence in the local society.
These two classes had to raise their political status, combine their interests with those of the empire, and induce them to invest in the development of their own local industry and agriculture.
Only in this way can all strata of the Ming Empire be united and the empire's economy develop rapidly.
After leaving the government cabinet building, Wen Jiming was about to return to his residence when he received a magical letter from Aristock.
The letter only said the words, come to my lab.
Wen Jiming felt a little strange about Aristock's sudden letter, and the letter did not specify what exactly he needed to visit his laboratory now.
So with a hint of curiosity, Wen Jiming drove to the Institute of Magic.
When he entered Aristock's laboratory, he found that an old man he hadn't seen for a long time was also there.
As soon as Aristock saw Wen Jiming coming, he pointed to the old man and said to Wen Jiming.
"Wen, Master Edwood, the owner of Kansa City's ** Division's house, you must know him, right?"
Wen Jiming replied to Aristock as he stepped forward to shake hands with Edwood Davis.
"Of course I do, I bought my full armor from Boss Davis!"
"That's good, I've hired Ed Wood to come to our Ming Empire as the deputy director of the Magic Research Institute, so I specially invite you to come and meet me."
When Wen Jiming heard the news, he immediately smiled.
He said as he took Ed Wood's hand again.
"Great, welcome master to our Ming Empire!"
Ed Wood said with a smile.
"Actually, I've thought about it for a long time, the products of the Ming Empire are really eye-opening for me, and I've always been interested in these new products!"
After the three exchanged pleasantries, Alistock asked Wen Jiming.
"Last time you talked about the problem of industrial puppets, you just explained the purpose of the purpose, it just so happened that Ed Wood came over this time, and he will be in charge of this research first, and you also tell him what you think the industrial puppet looks like and what it will be used for in the future."
Wen Jiming began to express his thoughts to Ed Wood.
"That's right, at present, in industrial production, many aspects of work are very boring and simple, for example, to put a large steel plate on the machine to develop and form, you need two workers to carry the steel plate together on the machine, we can use a strong puppet to complete similar work."
"There are also some hot workshops, people can't stay in it for a long time, if you can design puppets to replace human work, this will not only reduce labor costs, but also increase the production speed."
"We can make some puppets that do certain actions automatically, in fact, I prefer to use robots to describe this kind of thing, these robots will take on some boring, simple and highly repetitive work, because machines don't get tired, and humans tend to get tired easily when doing some highly repetitive work."
Ed Wood had already understood Wen Jiming's needs at this time.
"I understand what you mean, for example, the steel plate you just mentioned, we can design a robotic arm to automatically pick up the steel plate, and then put it on the machine to press and form, which can solve the problem of waste of manpower in lifting the steel plate."
Wen Jiming admired the imagination of these magicians very much, and quickly nodded yes.
"That's right, that's what you said, considering that factories of different natures will have a lot of this type of repetitive work, so the economic benefits of industrial puppets in the future are very high. When the technology matures, we can also design a variety of other types of robots. ”
"For example, it's possible to be in charge of cleaning, to be responsible for placing explosives, and even to robots that can be used in military battles in the end. The use of these intelligent machines will become more and more extensive, and they will definitely involve all fields of human life in the future. ”
After listening to Wen Jiming's words, the two magicians were opened up at the same time, if they could really reach the situation that Wen Jiming said, they, the magicians who were committed to magical engineering, would really enter the golden age!
Use your products in all aspects of your life, and in this way, both in terms of status and economic income, magicians in magical engineering will be greatly improved.
Wen Jiming continued to analyze the two of them on his own thoughts.
"As for the specific design requirements, you can ask the heads of those factories to put forward their specific needs, and our research department cannot only design based on their own imagination, but also take into account the specific situation of each factory."
"So tomorrow I'm going to have people inform those factory leaders and ask them to take your designers to their factories to study and see where improvements can be made, so that your people can design robots that meet the requirements of their factories."
"Of course, the research on the intelligence of these robots must be solved by yourself, by the way, Aristock, you have a young man here who is very talented in electronic engineering, named Yuri Ulyanov, he is very talented in computers, and I have given him a lot of books on this subject."
"I can tell you right now, if you study the computer well, most of the problems of artificial intelligence will be solved, so you have to train that Yuri well, he will definitely be an outstanding talent in the future, I have a strong premonition about this."
When Aristock heard Wen Jiming say that he had a strong premonition, he immediately attached importance to this person, in the Ming Empire, only the old mages Herodotus and Aristock knew Wen Jiming's abilities best.
This is because Wen Jiming has always informed them in time of what kind of changes in his abilities have been, and both of them also know that Wen Jiming's goal is to become a god, and he is now a demigod.
So Aristok nodded solemnly.
"Okay, I remember. I'll raise him. ”
Wen Jiming remembered two other very important things.
"By the way, two more things. One is that the government is about to be restructured, and there is one more government department called the Ministry of Science and Technology and Education, and I am ready to recommend you to be the minister, because my father-in-law is not young after all, and these worldly things are better to trouble him less, and you are the only one here who is the most suitable person in this regard. ”
"Another thing is that your research institute is too old, and I am going to build you a scientific research building, at least a few dozen stories high. This building will replace the Mage Tower as a landmark of the Magic New City in the future. There will be more and more such high-rise buildings in the future, but your institute will be the first! ”
As soon as Aristock heard that he was going to build a new building for his institute, his eyes lit up!
He asked Wen Jiming a little impatiently.
"Great! Tell me first, how much money are you going to invest in our new research building? Let me tell you, don't take three melons and two dates this time, send me the same as sending me a meal, at least invest a few million gold yuan in me! ”
Wen Jiming felt that he was so tired, and he couldn't help complaining.
"Dreaming of you? Millions want to build a building dozens of stories high? Do you know that millions of gold dollars can't even build a ten-story building, and how much the land price of Magic New City has risen now! This building can't be down without 50 million! ”
The two ** divisions on the opposite side heard that 50 million eyes were all green!
Aristock grabbed Wen Jiming's sleeve and said uneasily.
"Fifty million! You said it yourself! Ed Wood heard it too, you can't go back! Didn't you Dongfang say Chrysostom, you are also an emperor now, and you have to talk about it! What do you say, Ed Wood? ”
Edwood's current expression is similar to that of Aristock, and he immediately expressed his support for Aristock.
"Yes, I heard that, too! Million! ”
Wen Caishen now, how can there be 50 million such a small amount of money in his eyes, he immediately patted his chest and said to Aristock.
"Fifty million, I just said it's just enough, it's nothing! This time, I will approve a budget of 70 million gold dollars for you! ”
