Great country technology, I have a system where hard work pays off!

October 6, 2015, Yue Guang City, headquarters of Geek Technology Company.

A large room was hosting a live broadcast program called "Focus Interview."

At this time, the familiar face Bai Yansong in front of the TV was introducing the opening remarks, and then invited Gao Nian to the stage.

"Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa..."

After speaking, Gao Nian retracted his hand and then sat on the sofa with the host Bai Yansong.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gao Nian, for accepting our invitation to the "Focus Interview" program. This time, we may have several questions to trouble Mr. Gao Nian with."

"It's okay, please ask."

Gao Nian waved his hand and said.

Seeing this, the host Bai Yansong nodded slightly, and then asked:

"Mr. Gao Nian, it is said that the StarNet plan was proposed by you, is that right?"

"Yes."

Nodding lightly, Gao Nian continued:

"The StarNet plan was proposed by me. The birth of this StarNet plan is actually a coincidence."

"Coincidence?"

The host Bai Yansong raised his eyebrows and asked curiously:

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course."

After speaking, Gao Nian continued:

"The root of the StarNet plan's birth is actually to serve autonomous driving electric vehicles.

After all, as everyone knows, we released the Geek electric car last year, and then we fell into hesitation about how to upgrade the next generation of Geek electric cars.

In the end, we decided to shift the upgrade direction of the second generation Geek electric car to autonomous driving function.

Because I think an electric car should be a great product, a product that changes human life,

Its significance should be no less than that of computers and smartphones.

Rather than simply replacing fuel with electricity, ultimately only saving the consumption of non-renewable resources and reducing the cost of car use for everyone.

So, with this in mind, we decided to develop electric vehicle autonomous driving technology and develop an electric vehicle that can achieve L4 or even L5 level autonomous driving!

Finally, after research, it was found that relying solely on the electric vehicle's on-board artificial intelligence to achieve L4 level is possible, but it is somewhat difficult to achieve level 5.

Because an autonomous driving electric car driving on the road not only has to consider how to get the user to their destination, how not to hit pedestrians, and how to protect the car and the owner in the event of an accident.

It also needs to exchange information with the outside world to increase or decrease the car's speed or detour to avoid congested traffic or avoid obstacles ahead.

Striving to achieve a perfect and safe delivery of the user to their destination.

After all, relying solely on the car's own autonomous driving system, without information interaction, if there are special circumstances such as traffic accidents, road collapses, or serious traffic jams ahead.

And the user is in a special situation where they are sleeping and do not know the outside world, and cannot make a decision to change the route or return.

Then the electric car will honestly wait, unable to completely break away from humans and achieve L4 and L5 level autonomous driving capabilities.

In order to solve the above problems, we made two decisions. The first decision was to develop 5G mobile communication technology.

So we finally reached a cooperation with Huawei Technology, and the two parties jointly cooperated to develop 5G mobile communication technology,

And then let 5G mobile communication technology serve autonomous driving electric vehicles and delivery drones.

Of course, the use of this 5G mobile communication technology is not only to serve autonomous driving electric vehicles and delivery drones, but also to serve mobile phones, computers, home appliances, and other devices.

As for the second decision, it was to decide to develop and establish a super satellite system that supports ultra-precise satellite positioning and high-speed communication.

This is the prototype of the later StarNet plan, and it is also the reason why the StarNet plan supports mobile high-speed Internet access.

It is to allow delivery drones and autonomous driving electric vehicles to continue to connect to the Internet even after driving out of the 5G mobile network signal service area.

In this way, truly meaningful L4 and L5 level autonomous driving technology can be achieved, and there will be no situation where it is impossible to connect to the Internet once leaving the 5G mobile network signal coverage area."

"I see, so the root of the StarNet plan's birth is actually to serve the autonomous driving Geek electric car."

The host nodded lightly, revealing a look of sudden realization.

At the same time, other people also showed the same look of sudden realization.

"Then, Mr. Gao Nian, when you were developing autonomous driving electric vehicles, did you consider the possibility that it would cause drivers to lose job opportunities?"

The host Bai Yansong asked a sharp question. If Gao Nian did not answer this question well, it would definitely seriously affect Gao Nian's image and evaluation.

"Before answering this question, let's take a look at the growth in the number of workers during the First Industrial Revolution, the Second Industrial Revolution, and the Third Industrial Revolution."

Speaking of this, Gao Nian unraveled the mystery as people looked at him with curiosity.

"During the First Industrial Revolution, job positions were mostly concentrated in the textile and mining industries, and the proportion of workers was not high.

During the Second Industrial Revolution, heavy chemical industries and specialized division of labor developed greatly, and many heavy and light factories were established, and the number of workers increased explosively.

The Third Industrial Revolution was centered on information technology, bringing about the rise of emerging industries such as computers and the Internet, and creating a large number of new positions around these new technologies.

So after the Third Industrial Revolution, the number of workers once again increased explosively, and there were more job positions that could be provided.

As for the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is currently breaking out, it is mainly centered on artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and intelligent factories.

On the surface, it seems that there are fewer job positions than before, and the high degree of automation and intelligence of equipment has led to a sharp drop in the number of employment opportunities.

But in reality, it will create more job opportunities, and the main growth trend of these job opportunities.

Lies in the collection of resources on Earth and in outer space, the virtual industries that meet human spiritual needs, the service industries that serve humans, the infrastructure-based infrastructure industries, the technology research and development industries, the equipment and machine maintenance industries, the software programming industries...

So job opportunities actually do not disappear, they just transfer from one side to the other.

It will still provide a large number of job opportunities, and it can even be said that the number of job opportunities provided will be more than the previous industrial revolution!

Taking resource collection as an example, not to mention the collection of resources from various planets in the solar system, just the Earth alone.

We have not actually fully utilized the natural resources that the Earth possesses to the extreme.

There are still many land resources and natural resources that are left idle there, and have not been fully utilized.
