In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, in July. 庛

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it is entering the hot summer and autumn season.

On this side of the Ming world, the development of various fields is booming, very smooth, various economic development indicators, is expected to be realized, the comprehensive growth rate, should not be less than 20%, internal combustion engines, power equipment, radio began to be popularized, everywhere is a scene of prosperity.

Even the Ming Empire, which once looked extremely rotten, now has an extremely powerful firepower, everyone began to look at money, no matter what class it is, even the scholars and bureaucrats, they have also come up with funds, go to the sea to do business, or let their families be responsible for business, and have also launched a lot of relevant incentive policies to maintain a good business environment, for some behaviors that damage the business environment, are the same attitude to crack down and reject, so that the status of businessmen, has been unprecedentedly improved, Become a valued human being.

It is the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, in order to make the royal factory, to achieve better benefits, not only did not fire the original factory director and manager, but gave them more dividends, better treatment, for fear that the treatment is low, the talent runs to other places, and even becomes a terrible competitor, so the value of the talent, for the first time, reflects the appearance, and has been valued by the discerning.

In terms of military affairs, Xujiazhuang's overseas colonization plan is also in full swing, and the population of immigrants overseas has officially exceeded 50 million, plus those children born overseas, as well as some indigenous young people recruited from the indigenous forces, etc., the total population controlled exceeds 80 million, but there is still a problem of insufficient labor resources, and all walks of life are a bit of a shortage of manpower and talents.

The territory of the Ming Dynasty is still continuing to expand externally, occupying the Western Regions the year before last, hitting the Caspian Sea last year, and advancing to the east of the Black Sea this year, basically eating the entire Central Asian region and occupying the central area of the world island.

The expansion of the sea is more rapid, and the popularization of steam power has made Xujiazhuang's steam ships appear on the coastline of any land in the world, establishing hundreds of port strongholds, breaking out a lot of contradictions and conflicts, and obtaining a steady stream of various resources, which has also led to a lot of opponents being forced to unite to jointly deal with the challenge of Xujiazhuang, but it has no effect, even if a huge army of 300,000 or 500,000 is pulled up, in the face of sharp guns and weapons, it is also a rapid collapse and heavy casualtiesChoosing to compromise is the best option. 庛

But now at this stage, whether it is for the Ming Dynasty or for Xujiazhuang, it is not a stage of chaos, but in the accumulation period, the development period, and the improvement of the level of internal force, even the number of the army is very restrained, and it has not entered the stage of crazy expansion. It is to fully control every inch of the whole world, every piece of resource, no matter what it is, to eat it all, and to achieve the goal of unifying the world.

Then, it is to enter a long period of peace and development, desperately increase the population, win resources, cultivate talents, improve the level of scientific and technological development, and strive to enter the era of the sea of stars as soon as possible, so as to obtain more and more huge resources and embrace a better future.

It's just that in this booming development momentum, one day in late July, Xu Yuan suddenly put down his busy work and ran to the side of modern society, staying for at least two or three months to deal with things in modern society.

The reason is also very simple.

Exploded.

The modern society has also suddenly exploded recently, entering an era of crazy explosion, causing countless people to shout.

Due to the too great influence, Xu Yuan had to put down some of the work at hand and come back in person to participate in this matter, so that when distributing the benefit cake, he would not get nothing and become a loser in the cake distribution game. 庛

What's going on?

Erupt.

On the side of modern society, after decades or even hundreds of years of underestimation, it finally ushered in a super explosion, and the hope of stepping out of the cradle and entering the interstellar civilization finally saw clearly that the era of human civilization involution is finally coming to an end.

First, it is controllable nuclear fusion, and there is another technology company, which has been successfully developed, and it is a similar technical path, which seems to have more advantages, and is more suitable for the miniaturization of nuclear fusion reactors, and then as long as twenty or thirty units are built, the electricity of the entire Huaxia country will be completely sufficient, as for the cost of power generation, it will be reduced to about 1 cent per kilowatt-hour, but it is still profitable, and it is not less than 40% of the gross profit, as long as the majority of users, for the sake of cheap electricity, use hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity more, Then you can still make a lot of money,

Second, artificial intelligence has evolved again, and actually has a sense of self, can think like a human being, is as smart, and has a certain personality of artificial intelligence, born, named Xiaolong, was born in the territory of Huaxia, and is also the world's first AI with self-awareness, and after full learning, this AI named Xiaolong, has almost omniscient and omnipotent ability, poetry and poetry are all proficient, and also has a fairly high emotional intelligence, as well as a certain degree of thinking ability, After mastering most of the knowledge points of human civilization, AI Xiaolong even has the ability to build a complete set of industrial systems, and can do a lot of things, if it is applied to industrial production, it will lead to the elimination of all low-level labor force population, resulting in most of the human beings, reduced to waste-like unemployed, almost lost the value of existence, if it were not for the country's welfare system, to ensure that most of the unemployed will not starve to death, will get a minimum living guarantee, and have enough biological materials.

The emergence of this artificial intelligence shocked the world, but also realized that a new era is coming, if it can be complied with, then it may get some benefits from it, if it is resisted, it is doomed to the end of extinction and elimination, after all, no matter how smart the human brain is, how can it compare to the supercomputer behind AI.

Third, in the field of basic science, there is a scientist who has successfully solved the mystery of force and deduced the unified formula of force, which has laid the foundation for a new round of technological explosion and technological explosion, and the prospects brought by it are also unimaginable. 庛

This has opened up a new path for the future of human science, at least it can lead human civilization to move forward quickly, as if breaking the posture of the binding force, and will no longer be affected by the so-called bottleneck, and it has also made countless mathematicians, chemists, etc., have changed careers to become physicists, and they do not want to miss this outlet, resulting in being abandoned by the great era.

……

this day.

At the foot of Lushan Mountain, in the magical city, in the C office area, in a large office building.

Strategy session.

Xu Yuan, Song Jiayun and several key senior executives of the group sat together and held a strategic meeting to discuss several major events that have happened recently.

"Controllable nuclear fusion, artificial intelligence as smart as human beings, and the unification formula of power, there are really a lot of major things that have happened recently, or will this year be a miraculous year, and many things will happen miraculously in front of us and be witnessed by us?" 庛

Xu Yuan, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but sigh, there was a feeling of witnessing great history, and a feeling of being very lucky, after all, such a magical history, not everyone has the opportunity to witness it.

"We have to take a good look at the impact of these three major events on our group."

Song Jiayun said: "Controllable nuclear fusion can be put aside for the time being, we have a certain amount of technology accumulation and achievements in this regard, and there are ways to get a piece of the pie in the field of controllable nuclear fusion, but high-level artificial intelligence, our group has less research in this area, and can only make some simple AI and complete some simple functions, and now there is an AI program that can replace more than 90% of human workers, which means that the wave of unemployment is coming, and the operating costs of many enterprises will be greatly reduced, and the profit margin will be greatly improved. And our magic group, but there are more than 100,000 employees, counting more than 300,000 family members, bloated, a lot of money, if you don't take some measures, reduce the efficiency of the staff, reduce the cost of operation, I think, the market competitiveness of the magic group, will be greatly weakened, and may even be eliminated in the cruel market, I don't know what action measures we should take in this regard, instead of standing by to watch the excitement, don't see the end, forget who you are, but forget to complete the task at hand better, Get by and get by, until the group can't hold on, and then change to a new unit? ”

This ironic remark made several executives look very panicked and helpless, because although this word was not good, it did cause them to worry in their hearts, worried that if the real artificial intelligence that simulated the thinking of the human brain was fully promoted, would it really replace them quickly, so that they would lose their annual salary of one million and could only live a life of receiving relief.

"Don't scare everyone, although artificial intelligence is powerful, but we magic group, is a company with feelings and temperature, in my eyes, artificial intelligence no matter how many versions are updated, no matter how powerful it is, it is still just a tool, it will only be used by humans and improve the efficiency of work, it is impossible to replace humans in turn, or dominate human beings, so the worry of unemployment is unnecessary, I will not do this kind of thing, I still always believe that as long as we all work together, our heads think together, The miracle we can create will be far more valuable than the so-called artificial intelligence dragon, we are the real dragon! ”

Xu Yuan had to speak, alleviating everyone's panic and receiving warm applause.

"Mr. Xu is right, he is right!" 庛

"Artificial intelligence is a hundred times more powerful than us, ten thousand times, but it is really just a tool, if there is any self-consciousness, to surpass human beings, to replace human beings, theoretically this is unlikely, because the development framework of artificial intelligence, is built by human beings, it is impossible to break through this framework, into something beyond human imagination, so we really don't have to worry so much, as long as we remain sober and rational, it is impossible to be replaced by a computer program." Another technician-turned-executive analyzed.

"It makes sense, but most of the people in the world, or more than 99% of the people, are ordinary mortals, and even the waste people who are not as good as artificial intelligence programs, from the perspective of saving the company's costs, most of the employees of the group can indeed consider firing, so that the remaining employees can create greater value, which will definitely not cause a sharp decline in the company's business." An ordinary-looking female executive spoke, with a very clear stance in support of Song Jiayun.

"I also think that Mr. Song is right, more than 100,000 employees, a year's wages and other expenses, it will cost more than 100 billion, which is equivalent to raising an employee, it will cost 1 million, the cost of opening a company in China is higher than ours, I'm afraid there is no one, if the number of people can be reduced, at least tens of billions of dollars can be left a year, and these money can do a lot of things, open a lot of new projects, bring more profits and growth." Another male executive, also with a clear banner, stood on Song Jiayun's side.

"In fact, the wave of layoffs has begun, including large factories, since they are all based on the principle of maximizing profits, I think we should also abide by the rules of business, should be laid off, or have to be laid off, nothing more than a lower proportion of layoffs, a little less people."

"No, don't say that the layoff ratio is a little lower, that is, only ten people, a hundred people, will cause a lot of panic, now everyone is living a good life, and suddenly they were fired, just because of the emergence of an artificial intelligence, which can make everyone feel convinced, can there be no opinion, if it is not well controlled, causing everyone's military turmoil, causing negative repercussions, it is a bit more than worth the loss, I still do not recommend layoffs, unless it is a mistake and a violation of the rules, otherwise do not lay off." This executive is usually not liked by Song Jiayun, but this time he was also sweating profusely and raised opposing opinions.

"Okay, okay, this issue can't be fought over anymore."

In the end, Xu Yuan ended the topic and said: "The families of employees in the Magical City, their happy life is not easy to come by, and they can't be panicked because of a sudden artificial intelligence software, and it is difficult to work with peace of mind, anyway, I am here anyway, no matter how exaggerated the development of artificial intelligence technology, in the Magical City, not a single employee will be laid off, I am far from the hundreds of billions a year, I just hope that people with dreams will get together and create bigger dreams, and this original intention will not change." "Huh

Bang la la la~

Warm applause rang out.

Xu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about the topic of artificial intelligence, I think what should attract our attention and attention the most is the big unified formula, I don't know what kind of huge changes this thing will bring?" ”
