Chapter 580 The Age of Intelligence
Zhou Ming has experienced the pitfalls of the system many times, but no matter how pitty it is, he still has to jump down.

Had to sigh helplessly.

After all, this system is not like those wealth-distributing systems that give you hundreds of billions out of thin air to slap people in the face, and then give you more money to slap more faces. Even if the protagonist spends a few million [-] million, and there is no trace of inflation.

The system in Zhou Ming's mind strictly implements the logic of "how much you give = how much you get back". Zhou Ming has cleared six dungeons, the reward system has not collapsed, and he has not become Long Aotian. The following dungeons, There is still a lot of attraction.

It can be seen that the system is really a genius!

Focus back to reality.

More than two years ago, Zhou Ming asked the artificial intelligence Yuanyi to integrate a large number of advanced technologies in the dungeon "Empire of Money" into a technological bomb, and through the "Technology Tree Network" to explode within the scope of country Z, it has only been more than two years. At that time, earth-shaking changes took place in the land of country Z.

The country's overall scientific and technological level has leapt forward for ten years!

In July of this year, the "robot revolution" that broke out from the eastern coastal cities marked the entry of country Z into the "smart age".

As of the end of September now, in less than three months, the total shipments of various robots produced by several coastal robot companies have reached 9 million units.

By the end of the year, it is expected to exceed 3000 million units.

These robots are all "working robots" with an intelligence level of P20 (equivalent to a 20-year-old human being), self-learning ability, flexible hands and feet, and tirelessness, which can completely replace human beings.

The maintenance cost of a "working robot" is 1/3 to 1/5 of an adult labor force.

And no matter what job it is placed in, the work efficiency of a "working robot" is at least twice that of an adult human.

In some special jobs, such as assembly lines, heavy physical porters, etc., the work efficiency of "working robots" can even reach five times or ten times that of humans!
A working robot does not need to drink water to eat, does not need long-term skill development, does not need entertainment and rest, and it is very simple to let the robot work:
First, import learning materials and programs.

Second, reserve enough electric energy.

In terms of electrical energy, these working robots mostly use graphene batteries, which have a high energy density, can be fully charged in 15 minutes, and can work continuously for 24 hours after that.

Once the working robot came out, not to mention country Z was boiling, the whole world was shocked.

Caused countless discussions and debates.

Even opposition and protest!

Many people took to the streets, held up various banners, and demonstrated!
"The job robots are out and we're all going to lose our jobs!"

"The era of robots has come, and human beings are about to perish!"

"Don't take our jobs away!"

"Against robots, I don't want to be unemployed!"

"For every working robot produced, two workers are unemployed and two families are broken."

"The robots have destroyed us, we can only declare war on the robots!"

"Against the robots! Destroy the robots!"

There is also endless debate in the public opinion, and the robot supporters and opponents are arguing fiercely, and no one can convince the other.

However, in online polls, out of concerns for their own interests, the robot opposition has an absolute upper hand.

91% are opposed to working robots that can replace humans, with 82% strongly opposed.

Even in order to prevent those companies that are capable of producing working robots from continuing to develop and produce robots, a large number of protesters blocked the doors of these companies every day, and even rushed into the production plants of these companies, smashing many machines. machine.

Faced with strong opposition from the public, the government had to suspend the production plans of several robot companies, and held several high-level meetings to discuss solutions.

As the instigator of all this, Zhou Ming is of course very concerned about this matter.

After all, the manufacturing technology and intelligent control programs of these working robots, as well as the supporting battery technology and nanomaterial technology, are all diffused through the "Technology Tree Network". This website is the source of all evil.

Moreover, it is related to the livelihood of more than one billion people in the country. No matter what, Zhou Ming cannot sit idly by.

After all, the development of technology to a certain level will indeed bring about many negative effects.

For example, the problem of robots stealing people's jobs has made many people feel worried and opposed, fearing that they will be eliminated by robots.

This kind of worry is very normal. Everyone needs to support their families and have a job. But is the problem of "robots stealing people's jobs" really a problem?

Zhou Ming shook his head.

It's not a big deal at all!

Based on his experience in multiple high-tech dungeons, he can come up with at least dozens of solutions!

The most common and most common method is to allow citizens to freely purchase "working robots", and then let these robots work to make money, and the income obtained belongs to the individual citizens.

If the price of a working robot is 10 yuan, after you buy it, let the robot go to work. If the monthly salary is 5000 yuan, up to two years, the individual can fully cover the cost of the robot. earn back.

If this working robot can work for more than 20 years, the economic benefits created to the owner can be said to be very considerable.

If you have ten or twenty working robots, it means that you are the boss of a team of 10 or 20 people, and you can get the wages of 10 or 20 people. You don’t need to pay wages to these robots , you only need to pay for electricity and repairs.

Don't provide five insurances and one housing fund, and don't worry about being disabled, you can exploit and squeeze hard!
Such a small boss can be said to be more enjoyable than those big factory bosses with thousands of employees!

The profits earned are even higher!
Once the working robot comes out, it can be said that there is no financial product comparable to it, and there is no investment value of any commodity that can compare with the working robot!

So as long as individuals are allowed to purchase working robots freely, citizens with some funds on hand don’t mind spending a sum of money to buy one or several working robots to work for themselves and support their families.

Even if he loses his job in the end, as long as at least one working robot generates income that belongs to him, not only is he not considered unemployed, on the contrary he welcomes this kind of unemployment.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of "robots stealing people's jobs", the key lies in how to let people who are facing unemployment have their working robots.

However, robots with outstanding working ability and equally powerful destructive power are in the hands of individuals. If they are not used in the right way, they will definitely cause many problems.

Especially in the early stage of the launch of the working robot, the relevant legal system is not perfect. Once something goes wrong, it will cause huge public opinion.

Therefore, in the early days of the "robot revolution", most of the working robots will not enter thousands of households and are not allowed to be used by private individuals, but will enter various factories and assembly lines to replace tens of millions of low-end workers.

After the environmental conditions are ripe, working robots will be allowed to be purchased by individuals and enter thousands of households.

It's just that in the initial stage of promotion, there will be a lot of resistance.

But Zhou Ming also has a solution.

That is the "income right" that allows individuals to purchase working robots!
That is, individuals do not need to purchase working robots in their own homes, but directly pay a sum of money to factories that use working robots in large quantities to purchase the "income rights" of one or more working robots.

For example, if you give the factory 10 yuan, and the factory buys a working robot, then the monthly income created by this working robot will be paid to your personal account in the form of a monthly salary of 5000 yuan, which is equivalent to receiving The robot's "salary" is guaranteed to last for 20 years.

In this way, for the individual, not to mention saving a lot of trouble, the income is also a lot.

As far as the factory is concerned, no matter how many robots are purchased for 10 units, the factory also saves a lot of initial capital because someone helps to invest.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a win-win situation?
In this way, investors profit, and factories also profit, but what about the unemployed workers?

Especially for workers whose savings do not exceed 10 yuan?

They have no money to invest, and they can't find a new job. Where is their way out?
country.

We can only rely on the country, otherwise the world will be in chaos.

Zhou Ming's suggestion is: for the unemployed and unemployed, the state will provide them with "unemployment benefits", no less than 2000 yuan per person per month, regardless of whether they are healthy or not, whether they are able to work or not.

Some people may question, 2000 yuan per person per month, if this continues, country Z will sooner or later become a society of lazy people, no one wants to work, and the country will collapse sooner or later.

But the question is: technology has developed to the point where robots completely replace human beings. No matter how hard workers work and work hard, can they catch up with robots?
Besides, science and technology are so advanced, and industrial productivity is so huge, country Z should also enter a high-welfare society.

And with the purchasing power of 2000 yuan, I can only maintain basic food and clothing. If I want to live a better life, I have to work hard.

In addition, after the advent of the era of robots replacing labor, in order to divide the new cake well and avoid polarization, Zhou Ming also believes that for those rich people with strong capital, the number of working robots they purchase should be limited to no more than 5 per person. Taiwan or 10...must be strictly limited.

If these people buy more, they will become richer and richer. Not only will it be difficult for the middle and lower classes to catch up with them, they will even be unable to grab the opportunity to buy!

Those speculators with strong capital must be suppressed!Never allow them to go to heaven!
The benefits brought about by robots replacing workers must be shared by everyone, and everyone must benefit from it!
When Zhou Ming, as an "M78 galaxy alien", sent this set of solutions to the high-level officials of country Z for reference, the high-level leaders of country Z basically adopted all of them except for a few minor adjustments.

After announcing this set of solutions through authoritative media.

In less than three days, the proportion of citizens who support the promotion of working robots has increased to 88%!

Apart from a few misgivings, the opponents can hardly make a strong counterargument.

Of course, well-known big Vs still publicize the dangers of working robots as always, but after the opening of the national "robot investment platform", the first batch of 100 million working robot investment income rights were snapped up by hundreds of millions of people within 0.01 seconds. Among them, there are many well-known big V figures.

……

9:50am.

Inside the study.

Su Yuxiang turned on the desktop computer on the desk, first entered the "Robot Investment Platform", put the mouse arrow on the "Buy" button, and when the time came to 10 o'clock, she immediately clicked the right mouse button.

The loading circle turned for five seconds, and a graphic pop-up window appeared on the computer screen:
Congratulations, you have successfully purchased the working income right of a "worker bee" robot!

Yuanyi's voice sounded in my ear: "Mom, I helped you grab another robot, you now have five robots!"

"Yes!"

Su Yuxiang waved Xiaxiu fist, five robots, and her purchase quota has been used up.

It cost her a total of 85 yuan, but in the next 20 years, these five robots working in different factories can bring her at least 500 million yuan in income.

However, when she opened another website and saw the price curve of housing prices in Hangzhou, which dropped from yesterday's average price of 17560 yuan to today's 17403 yuan, she burst into tears.

Seeing Zhou Ming walking past the study, she turned around and yelled at him, "Husband, the house price has dropped by more than 150 today, and I lost another million!"

Zhou Ming patted his forehead, and said helplessly, "I told you earlier that the house price is like green onion, and I told you not to buy it, but you want to buy a lot?"

"Hey~"

He sighed and shook his head again and again.
