Inside Ziguang Pavilion.

"The 16th discussion meeting on the replacement of repetitive labor by intelligent robots has begun!" the great elder stood up and announced.

"Machines replace repetitive labor. This is an inevitable result of the development of science and technology and the improvement of productivity. There is no need to discuss this issue anymore."

“I agree that with the development of modern society, the need for physical workers is decreasing, while the need for mental workers is increasing.

Liberate manual workers from repetitive labor and transform them into mental workers, so that social productivity can be improved."

“It is a general trend for machines to replace human beings, and even intelligent robots are part of this general trend.

So I think it is imperative that intelligent machines replace repetitive labor!"

"I agree that although there will be some problems in a short period of time when intelligent robots replace repetitive labor, people cannot be choked to death. It is impossible to lose the big for the small."

"Okay, let's start voting." The elder nodded.

"If you agree that intelligent robots can replace manual repetitive tasks, please raise your hands."

"Seven votes in favor, zero abstentions, and zero votes against, OK, I declare that the resolution to replace repetitive labor with intelligent robots has been passed!"

…

"We have previously confirmed the necessity of machines to replace repetitive labor. Now we continue to discuss the details and consider practical issues."

"Let me go first. It is inevitable that machines will replace humans. There is no doubt about this, but there are also some practical problems that need to be solved:

First, how to arrange the displaced workers.

Unlike in the past, intelligent robots can work in a wide range of jobs. Except for some specific positions, only management, art, entertainment, and scientific research jobs will not be replaced.

Most labor-intensive industries, manufacturing companies, real estate companies and even service industries can be replaced, which will definitely cause a large number of workers to be laid off.

There are a huge number of workers, how to arrange them and what method to use?" An elder stood up and elaborated.

"Second, there are a huge number of laid-off workers, and if they are not properly resettled, they will inevitably cause social unrest." The elder next to him nodded, "The laid-off workers will be unable to survive because of the loss of work income, which will cause serious panic to the entire society."

…

"In comparison, I have two suggestions: The state should provide compensation to laid-off workers who have lost their source of income so that they can survive. At the same time, provide re-employment and learning opportunities to train laid-off young people in the direction of art, entertainment, scientific research, and management.

, to prevent these people from doing nothing and causing social unrest."

“Mr. Zhang Zhai’s high welfare plus transformation policy?”

"Yes, considering Zhang Zhai's opinion, high welfare policies can maintain the basic survival of laid-off workers. Transformation can avoid the waste of labor and can also give laid-off workers a chance for a better life."

"Furthermore, the wool comes from the sheep. Robots replace people and can increase productivity. The benefits generated from increased productivity can be used to maintain high welfare policies."

"Then this transformation is not a transformation of laid-off workers, but a transformation of the entire society."

"The entire society will withdraw into management, scientific research, art and entertainment, so that science and art will develop at the fastest speed, and spiritual civilization and material civilization will achieve ultimate prosperity."

"Furthermore, according to what that kid Zhang Zhai said, if we want to maintain a human civilization beyond the indigenous planet, we need an extremely large number of scientists."

"If this is the case, the education system and scientific research system must also be reformed, and the cultural and entertainment arts must be rectified and standardized..."

"In this case, the movement will be too great, and the whole society will be turned upside down."

"The movement is a bit big, so I suggest taking it step by step. According to the think tank's suggestions, the entire plan can be extended to fifty years, so that the entire society can slowly adapt to this change and avoid huge social unrest.

Moreover, we can also integrate the entire program with the space program and gradually roll it out."

"It's time to be more prudent. This is a transformation that can affect China for hundreds of thousands of years. I suggest that we can conduct a small-scale pilot and then slowly expand from a small scale outwards."

"Pilot... I agree with this!"

"Let's vote by a show of hands whether to conduct a small-scale pilot of high welfare policies plus transformation."

…

"There were zero abstentions, zero votes against, and seven votes in favor."

"Okay, unanimous vote passed."

"Now, the scope of the pilot program..."

“What about state-owned enterprises?”

“SOE pilot?”

"Private enterprises and private enterprises are not suitable as pilot projects. Only state-owned enterprises are the most suitable to start the reform pilot."

"Second!"

"Second the proposal..."

"Let's vote by a show of hands."

"Zero abstentions, zero objections, and unanimous approval."

…

"I declare that the 16th discussion meeting on the replacement of repetitive labor by intelligent robots has ended.

The following resolutions were made at this meeting:

First, confirm the basic decision to replace repetitive labor with intelligent robots.

Second, the social unrest caused by intelligent robots replacing repetitive labor should be targeted through high welfare and re-learning transformation measures.

Third, the meeting proposed and approved a pilot program for some state-owned enterprises to replace repetitive labor with intelligent robots.

Fourth, the ‘Tenth Five-Year Plan’ was proposed to use fifty years to complete the transformation of the entire society in ten steps.”

…

In the Ziguang Pavilion in the capital, decisions concerning the entire human civilization are being made, but the outside world still knows nothing about it.

…

Zhaicheng University, the campus is quiet and peaceful, and the noise from the outside world does not interfere with the atmosphere on campus.

It is afternoon now, and it is time for students of Zhaicheng University to discuss freely in the classroom.

In a large classroom, dozens of students were divided into about a dozen groups, and fierce arguments were constantly breaking out.

"Fart, it is inevitable that machines will replace humans. Humans created machines just to replace humans in doing complicated labor!" A student argued, his face turned red.

"I deny that machines replace labor. I am discussing with you how to solve the wave of layoffs caused by machines and what impact it will have on society!" Another student's face also turned red.

"I think this problem is actually very simple. It just needs to be covered in small steps and taken slowly. As long as enough time is reserved and it is not covered all at once, there is no problem that cannot be solved." Another student shook his head.

"That's true. Even if you are laid off, as long as you don't lay off millions or tens of millions at a time, and you take your time and solve it bit by bit, there won't be any turmoil."

…

"Rather than caring about this, you should still be concerned about the results being announced next time."

"Yes, the monthly exam results."

…

"Damn it, everyone, hurry up and take a look, the monthly exam results have been announced."
