Chapter 146 The Beginning of the Post-Machine Age

Human beings have experienced two industrial revolutions since the development of this year, namely the first industrial revolution represented by steam engines and the second industrial revolution represented by internal combustion engine motors.

The first industrial revolution made people amazed at the arrival of the industrial age, which was a preliminary entry into the industrial age. The emergence of internal combustion engine motors began the second industrial revolution, which was equivalent to entering the maturity period of the industrial age.

Since the late 1920s, with the emergence and maturity of a series of epoch-making technologies such as genetic technology, atomic energy technology, space technology, and Internet technology, people generally believe that human beings are in the third industrial revolution, and the most typical representative products are computers and the Internet.

However, although everyone believes that human beings are currently in the third industrial revolution, the so-called post-industrial era, the actual productivity has not made a real leap, or in the so-called primary and secondary industries of agriculture and industry, machines have not completely replaced human power. The biggest problem is that intelligent robot technology is not yet mature.

After entering the 21st century, although robotics has emerged and has been used many times, it is still very primitive and basic, unable to act or get rid of human control.

Originally, everyone believed that it would take at least twenty years to appear intelligent robots that can truly replace human power and have self-judgment and action capabilities. The most optimistic estimate would be ten years later. However, it was unexpected that it would take less than ten years. But now, there are intelligent robots that can subvert multiple fields and completely replace humans.

It can be said that once an intelligent robot with human judgment ability and stronger duli processing ability appears, which can replace at least 90% of the production process of manpower and is also cost-effective, it means that the arrival of a post-machine era and the third industrial revolution will truly enter a mature stage.

Before, everyone had some speculations about the beginning of this post-machine era, such as some people believed that the development of the Internet was the post-machine era, some people believed that genetic technology was the post-machine era, etc., but all these statements did not convince most people. But now seeing so many intelligent robots start working together, the ultra-high efficiency that seemed to be watching science fiction movies immediately shocked everyone, and everyone was immediately conquered by the power of this machine. All those who saw this scene believed that the emergence of this new type of robot was the real beginning of the post-machine era and the real representative product of the third industrial revolution, just like the internal combustion engine of the steam engine to the first industrial revolution and the electric motor generator to the second industrial revolution.

Tens of thousands of robots are very impactful. This is like watching wars. In the past, I watched dozens of people fighting. Although it was also very exciting, the effect was naturally limited. But if you watch thousands or tens of thousands of people fighting at the same time, the shock you will be completely different.

Everyone present who saw the scene of tens of thousands of robots working together now had the feeling of watching a big war, not only shocking, but also shocking.

In itself, the working efficiency of intelligent robots is stronger than that of humans. Once the quantity increases, another qualitative change will occur immediately. Even if the building materials are ordinary building materials, nano-materials and template materials, they are still forming at an astonishing speed under the combined efforts of many intelligent robots.

The first thing is to lay the foundation. Usually, an ordinary property with an area of ​​2,000 square meters and ten stories high. If the foundation is just laid, even if it is built using large machinery, it usually takes one to two months. If the area is larger and the building is taller, the time will take longer.

But with the cooperation between gophers and Titan robots, and the assistance of a large number of humanoid robots, laying the foundation is as simple as digging jelly with a spoon, or plowing the land with a tractor in a farmhouse. In just over two hours, with the joint efforts of nearly 10,000 robots, a foundation covering an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters of land was laid, and the efficiency was hundreds or even thousands of times that of ordinary construction teams.

Or it can be said that the larger the construction project, the higher the efficiency of robots compared to humans.

After the foundation of more than 2,000 square meters was laid, more than 10,000 robots of various types immediately moved their positions and continued to lay foundations on another plot of more than 2,000 square meters. In other words, these nearly 20,000 robots are professionally laid foundations and building roads and other infrastructures.

However, the foundation laid before was not empty, because after the foundation was laid, the remaining nearly 20,000 robots, mainly robots mainly small and medium-sized robots such as humanoid robots and spider robots, immediately rushed up, and seemed messy but in fact they were well organized. They began to reinforce and build houses bit by bit according to the design drawings or procedures.

This architectural style is like an ant building a house, but the speed is much faster. Everyone almost watched the buildings appear one by one, just like recording the progress of the past building and then playing it quickly.

Because the above-ground buildings require many details, which is the so-called meticulous carving, they are not as rough as laying the foundation, so the construction time is more than the foundation. However, it took only two hours to build four large ten-story logistics warehouses, including underground parking lots, walking roads, park green belts and other ancillary facilities.

The four ten-story logistics warehouses covering an area of ​​2,000 square meters were completed in just four hours, including the simple decoration of the interior.

It can be said that if we put aside the fact that the new warehouse needs to be dried and do some drying and other factors, these four modern large warehouses can be put into use in just over four hours.

"It's simply, incredible!" Lieutenant General Wu Hongfei, who had been red in his eyes for more than four hours, rubbed his sore eyes and said to Cheng Yuan, who was still energetic next to him. "I didn't expect that this kind of scene would be seen in his lifetime. Since this robot has appeared, it seems that the scenes in science fiction movies can appear in advance."

"Yes!" Lin Chunsheng, former director of the 13th Bureau of the Security Department, who had just been transferred to the National Security Council as deputy director of the Third Bureau, also sighed, "Seeing these robots, I can clearly realize that a new era of fully replacing human power is about to begin."

"That's right, it's machines that completely replace human power." Wu Hongfei nodded in agreement, "To be honest, the large number of such robots appear completely, the era has entered a new situation. If we can't keep up with this form, we will once again have a big distance from Western developed countries, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Director Wu is right." I know that Wu Hongfei actually doesn't like people calling him a general. After all, he is a general, so Lin Chunsheng directly called him the position of director. "Western developed countries are expensive in manpower, but their technology is advanced than us. Our previous advantage lies in the fact that our labor costs are relatively cheap. But if they generally use robots, their labor costs will be cheaper than us. In addition, their more mature technology reserves than us, I believe that it will drive a new round of economic growth, which is a serious challenge for us."

"It's a good challenge, but it's actually an opportunity!" The person who interrupted was Wu Qiaoqiao, who had been following Cheng Yuan. Although she was facing a series of high-ranking officials and nobles, she was not afraid of being angry at all, but was more energetic. Now she seized the opportunity and immediately started to talk big to fully demonstrate her existence.

Because she knew that in such an occasion, no one cares about her random comments. As long as what she said was not too outrageous, even if it was just a little constructive, it would catch the eye of these people and have a good relationship with these people.

Of course, she has been studying in yin relationships for many years and knows that the most important reason why she can interrupt casually is that she is a woman and an employee of Aluo Automobile Company. This is invisibly a qualification to interrupt. If someone else interrupts here, she will definitely not get a good result.

"Now, after decades of development, we are already the second largest economy in the world and one of the fastest economic growth countries in the world. With the rapid economic growth, our labor costs are getting higher and higher, no less than many middle-developed countries in the West." Wu Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Although I have not done statistics, as far as what I have heard and seen, most companies have become more and more automated. In this case, when we use robots, it is equivalent to being on the same starting line as the West. And to be honest, because of our Mr. Cheng, we actually started earlier than many developed countries in Europe and the United States. After all, this technology is mainly in the hands of the Ostan Group. At present, the only agent authorized by the Ostan Group to use this robot is our Mr. Cheng. It can be said that if we can obtain the key technologies of this robot as soon as possible, especially the technology of intelligent control systems, then our domestic intelligent robots are just around the corner."

"Oh, it's interesting, but if you were the decision-maker of Ostan Group, would you transfer the key technologies of this robot so easily?" Lin Chunsheng said with a smile, "You must know that this is a unique business, at least so far."

"So what?" Wu Qiaoqiao shrugged and smiled slightly with a playful smile. "Since it is exclusive, it means that we are still on the same level as other European and American countries. Moreover, so far, only we have so many robots? Whether it is used by ourselves or taking out some of them for reverse research and development, we are all one step ahead of others. How to say, we are still in the lead for the time being outside the Ostan Group. At least no country has ever obtained these robots, right?"

"Hahaha." Wu Hongfei smiled when he heard this, "I heard that you are praising your family in disguise. Don't worry, we all see that Cheng's ability and credit, and the country will not treat him badly."

"Dr. Cheng." Lin Chunsheng also smiled at Cheng Yuan, "It seems that you have a lot of talents. Not only are you good at speaking, but you are also very loyal. You always want to add glory to you. You have to promote it when you go back."

"Haha, sure, sure." Cheng Yuan nodded with a smile, "The company's establishment time is still short, and there are people everywhere. With a talent like Wu Qiaoqiao, I will definitely not waste it."

"Okay, let's not interfere with their family affairs." Wu Hongfei smiled and then said to Cheng Yuan, "No, what your subordinate just said makes sense. We are indeed facing challenges and opportunities now, and we are indeed ahead. But I want to ask, can this kind of robot be available for sale? If so, can it be given a portion of it? Even if it is used for research? Of course, we must spend money to buy it. You have the final say in the price, and we will never bargain."

"That's it, you really asked the right person." Cheng Yuan nodded with a smile, then pointed to the robot army under construction. "You also saw that the Ostan Group sent me so many robots at one time, was it just to build this smart city for me? It was just to show off? Obviously not. In fact, the Ostan Group sent so many steel versions of robots at one time, just to announce one thing to the world, that is, they can already build simplified versions of intelligent robots in large quantities, and once they can be manufactured in large quantities, it means they can be commercially available."

"In other words, the Ostan Group sent so many robots at one time to create a sensational effect?" Lin Chunsheng asked, "Is it to sell products better?"

"That's right." Cheng Yuan nodded.

"That's strange." Lin Chunsheng frowned, "If this is the case, why did they struggle to transport the robots to us? Why don't they just show them directly at their headquarters, that is, Sweden? I believe that with the excellent performance of this robot, no matter where it is displayed, there will be a large number of buyers gathered in it. It is an absolute seller's market. Relatively speaking, showing in Sweden is a bit more cost-effective than being here, right?"

"I don't know what you ask me." Cheng Yuan made a move to spread his hands and said, "I am just an agent, agent for their products to be sold in China. As for the considerations behind them, I can't control them."

"Oh, that's right." Hearing Cheng Yuan say this, out of professional habits, Lin Chunsheng instinctively began to complicate things, such as starting to think of the intentions of Sweden, the intentions of the Ostan Group, etc.

Obviously, to this day, no one thinks that the Ostan Group is just an ordinary private enterprise. Most people think that this company is a large group with backgrounds in several Nordic countries, just like BP Oil and Dutch Oil Company with a large monster with backgrounds behind it.

The times have developed to this day. With the end of the Cold War and the sweeping of the wave of the nation, the so-called wealthy families can only be a legend. Even Rothschild, Morgan and Rockefeller, who are rich enough to compete with the country, their true energy must not be able to compete with the country.

Or it can be said that the mainstream capitalist countries in the world have passed through the era when several monopoly trust families control the countries, and the state leaders are just puppets, but have become a more balanced era.

In this era, the government leaders of major powers are no longer hereditary, and the economic oligarchs of these countries no longer have the power to fight against the state. This has formed a more stable check and balance between China and China, which is an inevitable product of the development of productivity, or the development of the times.

Therefore, although some literary institutions or media organizations nowadays have occasionally created some conspiracy theories of family control in order to attract attention, it is just a joke in the eyes of elites who have truly reached the top of humanity.

After all, people who have not come into contact with that level can only look at the sky and make speculations out of thin air. However, people who have truly come into contact with that level and have a deep understanding will know how simple the reality is.

So, if the Ostan Group had a little mysterious at the beginning, then to the point where it is now, especially after the Ostan Group station showed its increasingly large body and its minions, everyone unanimously agreed that this was a small joint group privately established by Nordic countries such as Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. It was an act of bypassing conventional organizations such as NATO and the EU.

Or it can be said that the sudden rise of the Ostan Group is believed to be a counterattack of the Nordic Group and a sign of the European Community's split or reshuffle.

Just like the rise of Germany in World War I and World War II, the emergence of the Ostan Group and the counterattack of Nordic countries were also considered to be such a battle for dominance. However, after all, the times have changed, especially after the emergence of nuclear weapons, the world situation has undergone fundamental changes, so the Nordic Group has risen in a more moderate way instead of going directly to war.

If you think about it this way, it is not difficult to understand that China, whose preferred cooperation target is the world's second largest economy but whose technology is relatively behind Europe and the United States.

Of course, there are still many things that are hard to explain, such as why no formal delegation has been sent to negotiate with the Chinese government so far, but instead cooperate directly from private channels through Cheng Yuan, the so-called agent. If it is to avoid suspicion, it is ridiculous. The things shown by the Ostan Group are completely more sensitive than arms sales. Besides, private actions by the private sector, without the support of the national background, no one will believe it.

For example, why has the Ostan Group only cooperated with Cheng Yuan so far, and all products must be allowed to go out with Cheng Yuan, and not cooperated with other people who are more capable and sincere, etc. As for the princess and the poor boys who have sex by chance, the saying of Love House and Wu can only be circulated as a tabloid. After all, it is impossible for one or two princesses to have the final say in such a big thing, and it is even more impossible to have such a play.

In short, when Ostan Group showed their unique high-tech materials and high-tech products such as nanomaterials and robotics, a large number of governments and private think tank groups in various countries were analyzing and studying them. From development history, behavioral motivation to future trends, countless people were studying them all night, but there is still no reliable saying.

Cheng Yuan also knew some of these things, so when he saw Lin Chunsheng frowning and pondering, he couldn't help but smile quietly, thinking, no matter how hard you guess, you can't think of the aliens. Even if you think of it, you won't believe it. Hehe, just guess what you think of, the more complicated the guess, the better.

At this moment, Liang Hua came over quietly, nodded to Wu Hongfei and others, and then smiled and said, "It's getting late. I don't think everyone has eaten. Why not go to the restaurant to have something to eat. The restaurant has prepared a buffet, and everyone can eat and talk. After the meal, we have an auction to openly auction the twelve export quotas of this robot. I believe everyone will be satisfied."

"Oh? The auction of twelve export quotas?" Wu Hongfei narrowed his eyes, "In other words, are these twelve export quotas similar to purchase vouchers? After the auction is obtained, you can buy such a robot with the ticket?"

"Yes." Liang Hua nodded with a smile.

"So what about the purchase quantity?" Wu Hongfei continued.
