Chapter 16: The First Sun of the Times

Only one sun will rise in an era, its height cannot be surpassed, and its light and heat will illuminate all things and things in that era.

As day and night change, the sun, moon and stars turn.

When the first sun of the dawn era rises, there must be a long dark night.

……

Another month passed.

During this month, the competition among the countries of the Els was fierce.

Almost every superpower quickly established a large number of mechanical factories within its borders, and laid relevant production lines, and a large number of gray Gu intelligent machines were produced.

When those gray Gu wisdom machines were produced as products, they naturally needed a huge market to consume and sell.

The first market of those superpowers is their own national market.

The gray Gu wisdom machinery they produced, under the promotion of the government, was purchased in large quantities by some factories for the first time to be used as labor.

Those factories that purchased Gray Gu Wisdom Machinery as labor, after discovering that the cost performance of one Gray Gu Wisdom Machinery was much higher than the labor force of three ordinary workers at the same price, a large number of factory workers began to be laid off by the factory.

The first unemployed appeared.

A qualified product, in addition to the cost and materials used in production, the rest of the price figures, even a decimal point has its corresponding profit.

Gray Gu Zhiji is like this, when a standardized alloy that only needs minerals to be manufactured, and then manufactured with standardized alloy as the main material, from the first part is cast, to the production line is used as a qualified product, such a production takes only half a month, but can perfectly replace the same magnitude, it takes more than ten years to train the grassroots workers, elimination is inevitable.

After some factories tasted the sweetness, they immediately increased the number of purchases of the product of Gray Gu Zhiji, and other factories saw it and followed suit.

Not only factories, hotels and restaurants, but also a large number of grassroots workers in the service industry have also lost their jobs due to the appearance of gray Gu intelligent machinery.

Even the White Kingdom of the Northern Continent was the first to pioneer the formation of the first pure mechanical corps composed of intelligent machinery units in its own army, and unscrupulously announced this creation to the outside world, trying to show off its strength.

When other superpowers learned of this, they also tried to equip and arm those intelligent machines that did not have a sense of autonomy.

When the leaders of all countries discovered that the intelligent equipment units equipped with weapons were not only very good in combat ability, but also far better than ordinary soldiers in the army, this mechanical competition also entered the official track.

The mechanical armaments of various countries began to expand without limits.

One after another, the Gray Gu Intelligence Machinery was armed into war machines and sent into the arsenals of various countries.

At the same time, there has been instability within the countries.

For no other reason, someone intervened.

Due to the vain rise in the armaments of various countries, coupled with the influx of gray Gu wisdom into the society to replace many laborers to give jobs, countless people have lost their jobs and become unemployed people on the move, making the entire international community of the Ayr Star become an increasingly inflated powder keg, and the people of all countries and all walks of life are feeling the gradual tension.

In the beginning, those who lost their jobs were able to survive on government welfare subsidies.

However, as more and more gray Gu intelligent machines were produced, more and more labor jobs were replaced by cold machinery, more and more unemployed people were born, and the economic burden of the government became more and more large, and it became more and more difficult for the later unemployed to maintain their survival in society.

Another month passed.

Since a large number of intelligent machinery units have replaced those cheap jobs at the grassroots level, the industries of those superpowers in many aspects such as mining, manufacturing, service industry, and military industry have entered a stage of rapid development.

Huge quantities of goods are produced, and countless foods are piled up in warehouses, but these accumulated products cannot be put on the shelves for sale, because the shelves are already full, but those products are rarely bought by consumers.

The unemployed, who have no financial resources, are already crowded in the streets and alleys at the moment.

When countries used the Gray Gu Intelligence Machine to develop rapidly, they also thought that this situation would occur.

But what they didn't expect was that the industrial upgrading brought about by the Gray Gu Wisdom Machine was too fast, so fast that governments around the world had not yet come up with a suitable plan to resettle the unemployed people who would lose their jobs because of the Gray Gu Wisdom Machine, and this terrible situation appeared.

In just two months, the number of unemployed people in these superpowers has averaged hundreds of millions of people in a country, and the number is increasing dramatically.

There is already a serious shortage of social production jobs in all countries.

Such a large number of unemployed, if not properly handled, will have a direct impact on the domestic order of these superpowers.

So some officials began to lead and try to solve the problem.

They wanted to get those factories that produced products to stop buying gray Gu intelligent machinery, stop laying off factory employees, and fundamentally solve the problem of lack of social jobs, but after implementation, this method was found to be completely futile.

Because it is impossible for the factory to give up the purchase of practical and durable gray Gu intelligent machinery, and to retain those ordinary employees whose production efficiency is far inferior to that of intelligent machinery units.

When a large number of Gray Gu Wisdom Machines replace the grassroots labor force, those employees who are laid off from the factory will save the factory owners a lot of financial burdens, and the Gray Gu Wisdom Machinery, which serves as the new labor force, will create more profits for them.

It is impossible for most people to give up the interests they have in hand and use their kindness to bear some unnecessary responsibilities for this society.

For this reason, some officials thought about starting with the Gray Gu Wisdom Machinery and stopping the production of more Gray Gu Wisdom Machinery, so as to avoid more production positions in society being replaced by these machines.

But this is also in vain.

Because it was impossible for their high-ranking personnel to stop producing Gray Gu Intelligence.

The Gray Gu Wisdom Machine is about too many things now.

It is not only about competition with other superpowers, but also about the military industry, and most of the high-level personnel of these superpowers have direct interests in the military industry.

And now the right to produce gray Gu intelligent machinery in various countries is in the hands of the military industry of each country.

Every Gray Gu Intelligent Machine produced can make the military industry profitable, and naturally these high-level personnel will also benefit.

They also don't want to give up the benefits they have in hand.

So the unemployed have thus become the victims of this mechanical race that the nations are waging – that no one cares about.
